"Boom!"
The tank's cannon emitted a dazzling flare, as a shell shot straight into the sky.
Qian Renxue was one hundred percent confident that the shell would hit the Hao Tian Clan's headquarters thousands of miles away, even though it was not fired through a spatial passage.
Because, this was a Map Cannon.
At this moment, everyone's gaze uniformly turned towards the other side of the spatial channel, where Dai Ben was looking up high, watching a meteor-like shell fly over his head and land right on the outer wall of the Hao Tian Clan's sect.
"Boom!"
Damn it!
Dai Ben's eyes widened as he immediately ran away from the spot; the power of the explosion made him feel the threat of death, even from a distance.
The seemingly invulnerable outer wall of the sect crumbled into debris under the tank's attack.
Inside the tank, Qian Renxue, using her Senrigan, watched the scene with satisfaction and couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Her first test of the tank's power was to bombard the Hao Tian Clan; she was thankful to Senior Lin Yi for giving her this opportunity. It felt exhilarating!
"It's terrifying."
Thousand Waves couldn't help but murmur when he saw this scene.
"Tang Chen, your place has been blown up."
"Are you ****ing done yet!"
...
Dai Ben got back up, dusted himself off, and stood dumbfounded by the sight before him.
The entire outer wall of the Hao Tian Clan had collapsed, the destructive power of this attack was outrageous!
Sure enough, there was movement inside.
Quickly, several powerful individuals rushed out, and at a glance, Dai Ben saw only people with Nine Soul Rings.
They were the elders of the Hao Tian Clan.
Tang Xiao looked solemn as he followed behind, his face ashen as he saw the wrecked outer wall of the sect.
"Emperor of Xingluo, has my Hao Tian Clan ever offended you? If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving this place!" Tang Xiao threatened in a deep voice.
But just at that moment, he suddenly noticed the image wrapped in silver radiance in midair.
"Is that..."
Tang Xiao squinted his eyes. He could roughly make out that the surrounding silver radiance was composed of space elements, so that meant that the scene in the middle was a different space?
Could it be that Dai Ben had directly teleported from another space?
To tear such a large area in space, Tang Xiao couldn't think of anyone on the continent capable of this feat.
"Tang Xiao, why don't we have a personal contest? If you defeat me, I'll let you dispose of me as you wish!" Dai Ben quickly said, fearing that he would exceed the fifteen-minute time limit.
Tang Xiao snorted coldly, "I was just thinking the same!"
"Wait!"
"What is it now?"
Dai Ben spoke with a serious expression, "Once we start the clash, I will defeat you within five seconds."
"What?"
Tang Xiao squinted his eyes. What in the world was the Xing Luo Emperor thinking?
No, this couldn't be simply for this matter; after all, there was no past grudges between the two before this.
Could it be, by winning against him, this man would receive some unexpected benefit?
Tang Xiao inexplicably felt that he couldn't be defeated, nor could he be overwhelmed by the Emperor's momentum. He had come out to seek an explanation; how could he possibly be weaker in terms of presence?
With that thought, Tang Xiao said solemnly, "What a grand statement! Well, go ahead and try."
"I'll defeat you within three seconds and see who's really the tough one!"
But just as Tang Xiao was about to activate his Martial Soul True Body, the onset of music suddenly made him freeze.
"Fold a Thousand Paper Cranes, tie a red ribbon on it, hoping kind people have Good Luck every day~"
Tang Xiao and the Hao Tian Clan elders were baffled, looking around and asking, "Who's singing at a time like this?!"
"Martial Soul True Body!"
Without responding, Dai Ben immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body.
Damn it, he really had to refine his attack to the level of milliseconds in just five seconds!
Roaring, Dai Ben's golden "卍" symbol on his chest expanded infinitely, the phantom of an Arhat riding a tiger flashed behind him for an instant, and in the next moment, Dai Ben's frame became vastly bigger and more muscular.
At the same time, the pitch-black ninth soul ring began to circle around him.
```
"Ninth soul skill, White Tiger Mirror Kill!"
As the ninth soul skill activated, Dai Ben, who inherited the legacy of the Fuhu Arhat, instantly split into nine identical figures. They radiated dazzling golden Buddha light and swung terrifying claws at Tang Xiao from all directions, enveloping him with a sky-covering assault of golden claw shadows.
"Hmph, a mere Titled Douluo dares to be so presumptuous!"
After all, Tang Xiao was a level 97 Hyper Douluo, and even though Dai Ben's attack was almost too fast to react to, he was confident in his counterattack.
"Haotian True Body!"
"Eighth soul skill!"
The pitch-black eighth soul ring rose from Tang Xiao too, his hands crackling with lightning. The dark Hao Tian Hammer in his grasp grew and grew, nearly instantly becoming a pillar that touched the sky!
"Ah!"
Tang Xiao launched a counterattack, but when their soul skills collided, Tang Xiao's eyes widened in shock. His Haotian True Body shattered instantly!
Impossible!
Dai Ben was just someone who had recently reached the level of a Titled Douluo!
Outside the space channel, Davis watched the scene unfold with excitement. There was nothing more thrilling than watching his own father turn the tide!
You didn't expect this, Tang Xiao, did you? You may have level 97 soul power, but we have Senior Lin Yi!
Dai Ben's Martial Soul True Body also shattered, and it seemed the two had fought to a draw.
This was completely unimaginable to Tang Xiao!
How could he possibly fight to a draw with Dai Ben?!
Could it be because of that huge humanoid phantom riding a ferocious tiger?
Tang Xiao remembered that Dai Ben's Martial Soul was clearly the White Tiger; it shouldn't be possible for another person to appear!
There should be about two seconds left, thought Dai Ben with a furrowed brow. With both of their Martial Soul True Bodies shattered, they could only use ordinary soul skills to fight again.
Senior Lin Yi, please bless me!
Watching Tang Xiao charge at him with a hammer again, Dai Ben actually deactivated his Martial Soul Possession!
What is he doing? The crowd in Soul City, watching through the space channel, couldn't understand why Dai Ben would deactivate his Martial Soul at this critical moment.
Lin Yi curled his lips upward; he knew what Dai Ben was about to do.
With his fingers in Martial Soul Possession state, Dai Ben couldn't fit them into the trigger hole...
As expected, the next moment, Dai Ben pulled out a black and yellow two-toned strange weapon from his storage soul tool.
Tang Sect Master, times have changed. It's the era governed by Senior Lin Yi now!
Dai Ben pulled the trigger, "Bang!"
The muzzle of the AK47 emitted flashes of fire. At such a close range, the bullets burst forward and blew Tang Xiao away.
It was fortunate that Tang Xiao was a level 97 Title Douluo with a bodily density far beyond ordinary people; otherwise, his shoulder would definitely have had a huge, bloody hole.
The bullet penetrated Tang Xiao's right shoulder, and he was flung to the ground. At this distance, the impact was simply too great.
[00:00:05]
Lin Yi looked at the content on his panel. He had started the timer at the moment Dai Ben began his attack, and it ended precisely at five seconds, while Tang Xiao was already lying on the ground, incapacitated.
This mission, Dai Ben had completed it.
Dai Ben turned off the music switch in his mind and exhaled deeply, stowing his final trump card, the AK47, back into his storage soul tool.
I didn't time it, I wonder if it meets the standard...
"Dai Ben, mission concluded, successfully completed, Red Junior reward successfully upgraded to Red Advanced reward."
Then, the voice belonging to Lin Yi transmitted clearly through the space channel.
All disciples and elders of the Hao Tian Clan, as well as Tang Xiao lying on the ground, shifted their attention to the space channel.
Who's speaking?!
Listening to the content of the words just now...
Dai Ben came here for a mission?!
Tang Xiao, covering his wound, sat up and saw the youth sitting on the platform on the other side of the space channel.
Could it have been him who gave Dai Ben the mission?
Who is he?
"This is great! This is really great!"
Dai Ben shouted with excitement. He even knelt on one knee toward the direction of the space channel: "Thank you, Senior Lin Yi! Thank you, Senior Lin Yi!"
This sight dumbfounded Tang Xiao.
Who exactly was that young man, to have Dai Ben, a mighty emperor, kneel before him?!
ps. Thank you for following along.
