Chapter 411: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [411]
The Great Sumeru Hammer collided with the Angelic Sword, and in an instant, it was as if a second sun had risen on the ground. Gazing into the distance, the unprepared Tang Hao was instantly blinded by the bursting radiance, and his entire world plunged into darkness in an instant.
Although the others fared slightly better, they were not much stronger. The healing-type soul master in the group was quickly pulled closer by the others.
As the explosion subsided and the dust dispersed, Tang Chen stood proudly in the massive crater, his chest puffed out. Yet his expression was one of utter shock as he looked up at Qian Daoliu, who hovered mid-air, astonished.
"Qian Daoliu, you dodged? Instead of going head-to-head with me, you tricked my Great Sumeru Hammer using your Spirit Avatar before counterattacking? This is the first time I've encountered such tactics in all these years."
Tang Chen clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and staggered back two steps before steadying himself again.
"It's been years; I've made some progress as well," Qian Daoliu replied with a smile, flapping his wings. The long sword formed by his soul skill still glowed brightly, pointing directly at Tang Chen and faintly sealing off his possible moves.
During the earlier exchange, Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer clashed with the Angelic Sword formed by Qian Daoliu's Spirit Avatar. Almost immediately after a brief stalemate, the Angelic Sword shattered with a boom. Qian Daoliu, with his three pairs of wings spread wide, bypassed the explosion of the Great Sumeru Hammer and closed the distance to Tang Chen in an instant, thrusting his sword straight at Tang Chen's heart.
If not for Tang Chen's quick reflexes and ruthless decisiveness, choosing to abandon his control over the Great Sumeru Hammer and use the Clear Sky Hammer to block the attack, his chest might have been pierced through with a gaping hole.
Even so, having deflected the move, Tang Chen was still injured by the soul power contained in Qian Daoliu's sword energy. The sacred flame burned within him, making his internal organs feel as though they were about to be charred to ashes. The soul power in his meridians felt as if it were on the verge of igniting.
