Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 887: The Great Sumeru Cudgel

As soon as Chen Huaian finished speaking.A sound of howling wind and thunder echoed over the square.

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw the sky suddenly darken, as if a massive black shadow swept through the clouds.

"What is that?"

Someone pointed at the sky.

The next second, the shadow gradually became clearer, faintly discernible as a cylindrical object.

The sound of wind and thunder grew heavier, gradually reaching deafening proportions.

The clouds were peeled away layer by layer, air currents flowing over the cylindrical black shadow, getting closer and closer.

A gigantic black rod, like a collapsing pillar of heaven, smashed down.

BOOM——!

"Bixixi, how dare you!"

The Battle Soul Hall elites who had been moving towards Tang Er halted their actions and immediately returned to Bixixi's side.

"Protect Your Holiness!"

They each summoned their Battle Souls.

But the newcomer's strength was formidable, far beyond what they could handle.

Even after activating their Battle Soul True Forms, facing that falling rod shadow, they still couldn't help but clench their teeth tightly, trembling.

"Not good! This level of power... it's a Legendary Battle Master!"

Legendary Battle Masters were beings who had reached the peak just below the deities in the Canglan Continent. The number of Legendary Battle Masters across the entire Canglan Continent could be counted on one's fingers.

"That rod... it looks so familiar. Another Legendary Battle Master..."

In the crowd, a Battle Master narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of terror rising in his heart.

"Could it be—the Great Mount Sumeru Sun-Sky Rod, the Legendary Battle Master—Tang Ritian!"

These words also enlightened the other onlookers around. Everyone showed sudden realization, chiming in agreement.

"No mistake, it must be Tang Ritian!"

"To think that after so many years, Tang Ritian has actually appeared again!"

"Then what is the relationship between this Tang Er and Tang Ritian?"

"Is that even a question? I was wondering why that kid's rod Battle Soul looked so familiar... the son inheriting the father's profession, the relationship is obvious, isn't it?"

"Bixixi is a Legendary Battle Master, Tang Ritian is also a Legendary Battle Master. This is going to be a good show!"

...

"Tang Ritian? Is that you?" Bixixi narrowed her eyes, World Rings unfolding one by one beneath her.

A full nine World Rings shimmered with a cold, grim light.

The sky darkened, black snow drifting down amidst the raging wind.

Layers of gray and white wings unfolded behind Bixixi.

The phantom of a fallen angel Battle Soul appeared behind her.

Her crimson eyes stared directly at the smashing black giant rod, "After hiding like a rat for so many years, you still dare to come out and act recklessly?"

"Fine! Then today, we'll settle both old and new scores together!"

"Those words, I should be saying to you!"

The voice came through the clouds.

Faintly, one could see a tiny human figure following behind the massive black rod shadow.

It was hard to imagine what kind of existence could actually lift such a huge rod.

"Hmph!"

Facing that black giant pillar that seemed intent on smashing through the square, Bixixi did not retreat half a step.

She heavily tapped her staff on the ground. The pitch-black ninth World Ring at her feet suddenly lit up, its glow bewitching and sinister.

"Ninth Battle Technique: Dark Demon Shield!"

Hum——

The fallen angel phantom behind her let out a sharp shriek, its wings abruptly closing together.

Countless black feathers transformed into an indestructible semicircular light shield, forcefully pushing upward.

BOOM-RUMBLE————!!!

Rod and shield collided.

In that instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

A terrifying shockwave centered on the two combatants swept outward like a nuclear explosion. The stone slabs of the square instantly turned to dust, the surrounding buildings collapsing like paper. Those Soul Masters with lower cultivation directly vomited blood from the shock and fainted.

Within the dust and smoke.

A burly figure was revealed.

It was a middle-aged man wearing tattered robes, with a stubbled face. He held that massive "Great Mount Sumeru Sun-Sky Rod" in his hand. Though his figure appeared downcast, his eyes were frighteningly bright, like two ghostly flames burning in the dark night.

Legendary Battle Master—Tang Ritian.

"Bixixi, you killed my wife back then, and today you want to move against my son?"

Tang Ritian's voice was hoarse. With each word he spoke, the killing intent around him grew denser.

"That debt isn't settled yet!"

"Then leave your life here to settle it!"

Bixixi shouted coldly, the fallen angel phantom behind her suddenly expanding.

"Domain—Dark Extinction!"

Whoosh——

The square, which had been in daylight, instantly plunged into absolute darkness.

It wasn't an absence of light, but rather the light was being devoured.

Within this Domain, all senses were stripped away, leaving only endless cold and corrosion.

"Domain?"

Tang Ritian grinned, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth.

"This old man has one too!"

"Domain—Open!!"

BOOM!

A thick, almost tangible bloody red light erupted from his body.

It was pure killing intent, the aura of Asura he had tempered by crawling out of piles of corpses.

Sizzle——

Red light and black light violently collided and eroded each other in mid-air.

The sky was split in two.

One side was deathly black, the other side was violent red.

The two transformed into two streams of light, madly clashing in mid-air.

Rod shadows like mountains, demonic light like seas.

Every collision caused fine cracks to appear in the surrounding space.

This was the battle of Legendary Battle Masters.

Every move and gesture stirred the Laws of heaven and earth.

"Pfft!"

Another hard clash.

Tang Ritian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but the madness in his eyes didn't diminish; instead, it increased.

He knew this was the Battle Soul Hall's headquarters. The longer he dragged it out, the worse it would be for him.

He had to end it quickly!

"Bixixi, let's see if you can take this move!"

Tang Ritian roared, the World Rings on his body actually beginning to tremble violently, and then...

BANG——!

A loud explosion.

He actually detonated his own Battle Soul.

Exchanging the price of exploding his Battle Soul for an instant burst of ultimate power.

"Great Mount Sumeru—Exploding Rod!!!"

"Get the hell... out of my way!!!"

BOOM——!!!

Although the Sun-Sky Rod shattered in the explosion, it instantly expanded tenfold like a cloud, wrapped in world-destroying red lightning.

Carrying a desperate, mutual-destruction momentum, it smashed viciously onto Bixixi's fallen angel True Form.

CRACK!

The fallen angel's wings snapped.

Bixixi grunted, her entire body smashed down to the ground like a meteor, shattering the steps in front of the Pope's Hall to pieces.

"Pfft—"

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her stunningly beautiful face filled with shock.

This lunatic!

He actually started fighting with his life on the line right from the beginning!

Seizing the moment while Bixixi was forced back, Tang Ritian showed no intention of lingering in the fight.

His figure flashed, and he scooped up the already dumbstruck Tang Er and Xiao Tu from the ground.

"Let's go!"

But he didn't charge directly outward.

Because he could sense that around the square, several obscure yet powerful auras were awakening—those were the old monsters from the Battle Soul Hall's Hall of Offerings.

Breaking through by force would be difficult.

He needed a protective talisman.

Tang Ritian's gaze instantly locked onto the young girl in white robes with a cold, clear temperament not far away.

Li Qingran.

The champion of this tournament, the face of the Battle Soul Hall's younger generation, the chess piece Bixixi valued most.

Without hesitation.

Tang Ritian's large, calloused hand made a grabbing motion through the air.

"Come here!"

A pitch-black Battle Qi giant claw appeared out of thin air, carrying an irresistible suction force. In an instant, it tightly clenched Li Qingran, who had no time to react, in its palm.

"Qingran!!"

Bixixi had just stood up from the rubble. Seeing this, her pupils constricted sharply, and she instinctively moved to act.

"Don't move!!"

Tang Ritian bellowed.

The massive black claw suddenly tightened. Li Qingran let out a pained grunt, her face instantly turning pale.

"Bixixi, I only want to take my son and leave."

Tang Ritian held Tang Er and Xiao Tu, the black claw behind him holding Li Qingran like a chick, suspended in mid-air.

He stared at Bixixi, his eyes filled with the ruthlessness of a desperado:

"If you dare move a muscle..."

"I'll crush this genius's neck!"

"You should know, she's the future hope of your Battle Soul Hall!"

Bixixi's hand froze in mid-air.

She stared deathly at Li Qingran, held in Tang Ritian's grasp. The killing intent in her eyes boiled, but more than that, it was apprehension.

What she feared wasn't Li Qingran's talent.

But rather... the terrifying existence behind Li Qingran.

If Li Qingran died at Tang Ritian's hands, would that deity behind Li Qingran go berserk?

That deity had already given Li Qingran three black World Rings right now!

That showed just how protective that deity was.

Once enraged, forget her Pope's Hall, probably the entire Battle Soul City would be buried along with them!

She didn't dare let any of the karma fall on herself, lest her own path to godhood be severed because of it.

"Tang Ritian..."

Bixixi ground her silver teeth, her voice squeezed out from between them:

"If a single hair on her head is harmed..."

"I will hunt you to the ends of the earth!"

"Hahaha! Then I won't trouble Your Holiness to worry!"

Seeing that Bixixi indeed didn't dare to act, Tang Ritian threw his head back and laughed wildly.

He took one last deep look at the crowd in the square, then his figure transformed into a stream of black light.

Wrapping up the three people, he instantly broke through the Battle Soul Hall's encirclement, streaking towards the horizon.

On the wind, only his arrogant voice remained:

"Today's grudge, I will repay double in the future!!"

...

Inside the black giant claw.

Li Qingran was being squeezed so hard she could barely breathe, but she didn't struggle much.

Because within her Battle Soul space.

That man dressed in snow-white robes was sitting cross-legged, watching everything through her eyes.

"Master..." Li Qingran transmitted nervously, "We've been kidnapped."

"Hmm, I can see that." Chen Huaian's voice was icy.

"This uncle is quite strong, he's squeezing me a bit painfully..." Li Qingran was somewhat worried, "Master, what should we do now?"

What should we do?

Chen Huaian was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

Of all people, this Tang Ritian had to target his little disciple. How could he tolerate that?

But right now, he was only in his Battle Soul form, his power in a sealed state. In a direct confrontation, he might not necessarily be a match for this Legendary Battle Master Tang Ritian.

"I originally didn't want to use those things..."

Chen Huaian took out the gourd left to him by the middle corpse, which contained the monthly card and Glory Battle Pass he had previously topped up.

The Glory Battle Pass could give Li Qingran five hundred-thousand-year World Rings and one million-year World Ring.

According to the rules, Li Qingran needed to reach the level of a Peak Battle Master to receive the million-year World Ring. That was the setting of the Glory Battle Pass.

But...

Right now, he, Chen Huaian, *was* the Electronic Girlfriend System.

He could claim the rewards whenever he wanted.

Even though this might risk having to argue with the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm.

But he couldn't care about that now.

Chen Huaian directly selected the final reward of the Glory Battle Pass—the million-year World Ring.

Claim instantly!
