At this moment, the person who suddenly appeared on the scene and single-handedly knocked down the four great elders was none other than Tang Hao.
In the current Douluo Continent, only Tang Hao could achieve such a feat. After all, Tang Chen, the current patriarch of the Haotian Sect, was not present, and Tang Xiao's strength was slightly weaker than Golden Crocodile Douluo.
In this situation, only Tang Hao, who had cultivated the Great Asura Hammer, possessed such tremendous power.
After Tang Hao appeared, he immediately smashed the four great elders in front of him with a single hammer. Then, he turned to Tang San and said, "Xiaosan, look closely. This is the true might of our Haotian Hammer."
Tang San naturally looked towards Tang Hao with admiration.
Without delay, Tang Hao took big strides forward, like a whirlwind, and his Haotian Hammer danced in a rapid and direct assault against the Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others.
Seeing Tang Hao's power, the other Martial Soul Hall members transformed into their martial soul avatars, each revealing their ninth soul ring. Although they didn't know who Tang Hao was, they recognized him as a member of the Haotian Sect from his Haotian Hammer. Moreover, he had just successfully repelled them, so they didn't dare to underestimate him.
Both sides clashed fiercely, but this time, Tang Hao couldn't achieve an overwhelming victory like before because the Martial Soul Hall members were unleashing their full power.
Suddenly, Tang San let out a cold snort, and the Trident in his hand shimmered with even more dazzling light.
"Oh no, he's planning a sneak attack!" Golden Crocodile Douluo was taken aback, momentarily losing focus in the battle. When fighting against a top expert like Tang Hao, any distraction was dangerous.
Tang Hao seized this opportunity and erupted with full force, delivering a powerful strike.
Boom!
A loud sound reverberated through the air. After the impact, the four great elders were sent flying by Tang Hao's hammer. As they stumbled back, they felt their blood churn within them. Once they managed to stop their retreat, they couldn't help but spit blood and even found it difficult to maintain their martial soul avatars.
"Damn it! I'm going to fight him!" Holy Dragon Douluo, who had just caught his breath, was suddenly filled with rage. His pride couldn't accept his defeat, and he wanted to redeem himself immediately.
"Hold on!" However, Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped in and stopped Holy Dragon Douluo.
"We are no match for them. Retreat," Golden Crocodile Douluo made a difficult decision.
Although he didn't want to retreat, the current situation left them no other choice. Tang Hao's strength was formidable, and behind him was Tang San, who was equally powerful. Each of them was not someone to be underestimated. If there was only one of them present, they might have considered staying. But with both of them here, Golden Crocodile Douluo knew they had to run.
Staying here any longer would likely lead to their complete defeat, and that was something they couldn't bear to see.
"Retreat?"
"This?"
"Second Elder! If we leave like this, we'll lose all face!" Holy Dragon Douluo and the other elders responded indignantly.
They had always looked down on Bibi Dong and had never taken Tang San seriously. When they arrived at Jialing Pass, they had mocked Bibi Dong and Tang San, declaring that they would bring back Tang San's head.
Now they were about to flee in disgrace. Wouldn't that prove that they were weaker than the person they had always looked down on, Bibi Dong?
This realization made Holy Dragon Douluo and the others feel humiliated. For people who cared about their image, it felt like being killed.
"What's the point of caring about face at this point?" Golden Crocodile Douluo rebuked them. "Do you really want to die? Besides, even if we die here, it won't save our face. We are the Six Great Elders, but if we die in the camp of the Heaven Dou Empire, it will only become a bigger joke. Now, retreat, that's an order!"
Reluctantly, the group of elders turned around and fled.
Though they felt humiliated, and it seemed like they were indirectly admitting they were inferior to Bibi Dong, they had no choice. With things having come to this point, they could only choose to retreat.
On the other side, Bibi Dong, escorted by two Holy Spirit Sect elders, was on her way to the Pope's Hall. They had been traveling for a day, but since Jialing Pass was quite far from the Pope's Hall, they hadn't arrived yet.
While they were traveling, the two Holy Spirit Sect elders learned about the recent events on the battlefield through a scouting-type evil soul master from their sect. They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Two elders, why are you laughing?" Bibi Dong was puzzled and couldn't help asking the two elders.
The Holy Spirit Sect elders didn't hide anything and directly conveyed their joy to Bibi Dong.
"Your Holiness, this is great news! After we left, those arrogant Martial Soul Hall elders thought they could infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire's camp tonight and assassinate Tang San. But guess what? They ran into Tang Hao, along with Tang San."
"None of them completed their mission. Instead, they all got seriously injured and had to flee back to Jialing Pass. It's really satisfying!"
