"Ah Yin!!!" Tang Hao roared, his body radiating divine power—the power of the God of Rage.
If it were just an ordinary Title Douluo, Bibi Dong and the others might barely manage, but now it seemed only Su Bai could handle Tang Hao, who had inherited the God of Rage's divinity.
"Hand over Ah Yin, and I might leave you with a whole corpse," Tang Hao said, his eyes burning with fury.
"Impossible," Bibi Dong replied, recalling the countless nights she had spent with Ah Yin. "Ah Yin is my good sister now. I won't let you take her."
"Is that so?" Tang Hao sneered. "Then I'll send you all to hell."
With that, he raised the Clear Sky Hammer.
The flames of the God of Rage engulfed the Clear Sky Hammer, turning it from gold to blood-red.
At the same time, a stronger divine pressure bore down on Bibi Dong and the others.
In an instant, all the Title Douluo of the Dragon God Temple were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"Hahaha, you underestimated us before. Now you're all dead!" Tang San pointed at Bibi Dong and the others with a disdainful gesture.
"Enough talk. Witness my White Tiger Destruction Slash!" Dai Mubai roared, a giant 'kill' character materializing.
A white tiger's roar echoed through the heavens.
Dai Mubai's White Tiger Destruction Slash now carried the power of a Title Douluo.
Under normal circumstances, Bibi Dong and the others would have had the strength to counter it, but now they were all pinned to the ground by Tang Hao's oppressive force.
Dai Mubai's White Tiger Destruction Slash was a near-death sentence for anyone it struck.
The Dragon God Temple faced the greatest peril since its establishment.
Bibi Dong worried that even Su Bai might not be able to defeat Tang Hao, who had become a god, while Su Bai had yet to complete his Sea God trials.
"Su Bai, please don't come back..." Bibi Dong prayed silently. "As long as you live, we will have our revenge."
Then, Bibi Dong saw the White Tiger Destruction Slash hurtling towards her.
She knew she was done for.
"Goodbye, Su Bai..." Tears glistened in Bibi Dong's eyes. "Meeting you in this life was worth it."
"Hmph, let's kill one first," Dai Mubai smirked.
But just then, a mighty dragon roar resounded.
"Su Bai??" Tang San and his companions shivered at the sound.
However, they quickly realized something was amiss.
Accompanying the dragon's roar was a purple demon dragon.
The White Tiger Destruction Slash struck the purple demon dragon and was swiftly absorbed.
"Huh? Who are you?" Tang Hao frowned, not remembering any such dragon in the Dragon God Temple.
The purple demon dragon's form began to change.
"Zi Ji!"
Bibi Dong and her companions immediately recognized her.
It was the usually silent Zi Ji.
"Zi Ji is actually a dragon..."
Both sides were shocked.
Zi Ji turned to Bibi Dong and the others with a gentle smile.
"Don't worry. Until the master returns, I'll protect everyone," Zi Ji said, smiling. "I swear it as the Hell Dragon King."
"The Hell Dragon King, is it?" Tang Hao glared at Zi Ji, jealousy towards Su Bai growing.
"But it seems your power is sealed. Forcibly using it like this will kill you quickly," Tang Hao, as the God of Rage, easily saw the seal's damage to Zi Ji's body.
She was merely holding on.
Bibi Dong's eyes widened. "Zi Ji, no! I forbid you to harm yourself!"
Zi Ji tilted her head cutely. "Sister, it's okay. I know what I'm doing."
Despite her words, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"Hmph, a spent force. I'll smash you to pieces!"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar might not be able to defeat Zi Ji, but Tang Hao now saw her as no threat.
He swung his blood-red Clear Sky Hammer towards Zi Ji's head.
Zi Ji raised her hand, erecting over a dozen defensive barriers in Tang Hao's path.
But these barriers were as fragile as paper before the God of Rage, Tang Hao.
It was clear to all that Zi Ji, in her current state, was no match for Tang Hao.
This hammer could very well kill her.
"Zi Ji, run!"
Bibi Dong screamed in terror, shaking her head.
Zi Ji seemed to have made a decision, standing with arms outstretched in mid-air.
She intended to sacrifice herself to buy time for the others.
But the members of the Dragon God Temple couldn't bear to see Zi Ji die in vain.
Yet they were all pinned down.
Despair grew in the hearts of everyone in the Dragon God Temple.
"Sisters, I've been grateful for your kindness. If fate allows, let's be sisters again in the next life," Zi Ji said, tears glistening in her eyes.
Then, the blood-red Clear Sky Hammer came crashing down.
"Clang!"
A metallic sound rang out.
Hope replaced despair on Bibi Dong's face.
"Su Bai!!!"
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm late," Su Bai said, holding Zi Ji in one arm and blocking the blood-red Clear Sky Hammer with the other.
"Zi Ji, you did well. I'll add a drumstick for you tonight," Su Bai kissed Zi Ji on the lips.
The seal instantly lifted.
Zi Ji's injuries began to heal.
"Leave the rest to me. Protect them for me, okay?" Su Bai said gently to Zi Ji.
Blushing, Zi Ji nodded.
Zi Ji then descended, forming a purple protective dome.
Su Bai shoved Tang Hao back.
Now, only Su Bai and the four invaders remained outside the barrier.
"You can block a strike from the God of Rage?" Tang Hao squinted at Su Bai.
Su Bai chuckled, "Even gods who've been in the Divine Realm for ages can be killed by me."
"Hmph, such arrogance," Tang Hao sneered.
Su Bai's gaze swept over the four.
His expression grew cold.
Had it not been for Zi Ji's self-sacrifice, he might have been too late.
He hadn't expected Tang Hao to seize the opportunity during his brief absence.
"It seems I've been too kind, not killing you when I had the chance," Su Bai's eyes glowed blue.
"Primordial Dragon, True Form!"
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoed. The shadow of a primordial dragon rose and merged with Su Bai's head.
In an instant.
Su Bai's accumulated power erupted.
"This is your end, the Eternal Dragon Claw!"
Boom!
A power strong enough to tear the void descended upon Tang Hao and his companions.
"What... is this..."
Just touching the edge, Tang San, Oscar, and Dai Mubai were reduced to ashes.
"My son!!!" Tang Hao screamed.
