Chapter 209 Draw
After the giant red soul sword was formed, Di Hong raised his hand and slowly pressed it down, and the situation slowly fell.

A sense of oppression came over him, directly pressing Tang San down from mid-air.

Landing on the iron chain bridge, he was instantly hit by the scorching heat and jumped up quickly. But as soon as he jumped up, the feeling of oppression came again. The temperature of the iron chain was too high, so high that he could not bear it.

Looking up at the giant sword formed by soul power, Tang San knew that he could not dodge it no matter what.

A blue light spread from his body, and then countless vines formed by blue silver grass shot up into the sky and bound the giant sword in mid-air. However, these blue silver grasses did not delay for too much time. The moment they bound the giant sword, the raging flames burned them to ashes.

Tang San had seen this flame before. It was in the Sunset Forest. The flame of that wall of fire was exactly the same as the flame now.

Although it was only delayed for a short while, it was enough. Tang San seized the opportunity to escape from the attack range of the giant sword. He knew that Di Hong deliberately let the giant sword fall slowly.

The corners of Di Hong's mouth rose slightly, and then he put down his hand.

The moment he put his hand down, the giant soul sword in the air disappeared, and the fiery red sky returned to normal. Tang San took the opportunity to release his hidden weapon.

Countless flying knives and crossbow arrows attacked Di Hong.

At this time, Di Hong waved his hand and a burst of fire broke out. The scorching temperature instantly melted the hidden weapons released by Tang San. At the same time, the flames burned away the toxins in the air.

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly. The hidden weapons had no effect on Di Hong at all. He didn't even move.

There is no way to confront them head-on, the only option is to escape.

Withdrawing his gaze, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

The disciples of Haotian Sect who were watching the battle didn't say anything when they saw this. Even if it were them, they would have run away. The means displayed by Di Hong were indeed a bit scary, and this was when he hadn't released his martial soul and soul skills.

Tang Yuehua looked at the incense sticks stuck on the ground.

Now less than a third of it has passed.

"I don't know if Xiao San can hold on."

She was very worried now. Di Hong didn't use his full strength, probably not even 30% of it, and this was enough to make Tang San unable to resist.

The gap in strength is really too big.

When Tang San ran a hundred meters away, Di Hong took a step forward and caught up with him in an instant.

"There's no point in running. The difference in strength between you and me is too great."

"If you were a Titled Douluo, you might be able to hold out for an incense stick, but unfortunately you are only a Soul King."

As soon as he finished speaking, he released his mighty pressure. Tang San, who was flying, was instantly pressed down by this mountain-like pressure and lay on the ground without fear of moving.

He was still struggling, trying to get up.

Di Hong did nothing but walked aside and sat down.

Tang San was still struggling hard to break free from the pressure, but his efforts were completely useless. The more he struggled, the stronger the pressure became.

The pressure almost crushed his body.

Di Hong took out a book and started reading it.

"Come on."

"You don't have much time."

Not far away, everyone was looking at Tang San who was pinned to the ground and struggling hard. Although there was no expression on Tang Xiao's face, his clenched fists showed that he was not at peace.

Di Hong did let some of his defense go, and a lot of it, but he still underestimated Di Hong's strength.

Even in such a relaxed situation, Tang San still had no power to resist.

Tang Yuehua looked at the incense and noticed that the burning speed seemed to have increased. It was only one third before, but now it has dropped a lot.

She looked at Di Hong and immediately understood.

Then she blocked the incense without leaving a trace, waiting for it to burn out.

Tang Xiao turned around to see how much incense was left, but Tang Yuehua blocked his view and he couldn't see.

The second elder saw all of this, but he didn't say anything.

Time passed by, and just when everyone thought Tang San was doomed to fail, he actually broke free from the pressure, but he was exhausted at this moment, and his bones felt like they were about to break. He was about to give up, but he didn't expect the pressure to suddenly weaken, and it was greatly weakened, so he took the opportunity to break free.

Looking at Di Hong who was sitting there reading a book, Tang San knew that he did it on purpose, he was deliberately giving himself a chance.

But he no longer had the strength to resist. Just now, in order to break free from Di Hong's pressure, he had exhausted all his soul power.

Di Hong snapped his fingers and a cluster of flames flew quickly towards Tang San.

Suddenly, Tang Yuehua's voice was heard.

"time up."

The flame dissipated when it was ten centimeters away from Tang San.

Di Hong closed the book and stood up.

"draw."

There was no expression on his face, as calm as a still pond, as if he didn't care at all.

Tang San heaved a sigh of relief, then bowed to Di Hong. Di Hong went easy on him and deliberately made the game a draw.

Di Hong turned and left. When he passed by the Second Elder, he smiled at him. The Second Elder nodded slightly. Then Di Hong left. The Seventh Elder was a little unhappy, but he did not show it. He was not stupid. He could naturally see that Di Hong was letting him go.

In the end, Tang San was basically doomed to fail, but Di Hong let him win.

This must have been instructed by someone else, either the Sect Leader Tang Xiao, or the Second Elder, or both of them.

However, he felt that this was more like the work of the Second Elder, because this draw was what he wanted.

At this time, the second elder said, "Everyone, go and practice on your own."

The disciples bowed and left.

Then, he said to Tang Yuehua: "Yuehua, you can go and prepare for the ceremony of recognizing your ancestors and returning to your roots."

"Thank you all elders for your support." Tang Yuehua bowed. She was very happy now.

The second elder smiled and shook his head without saying anything more. Of course, he couldn't say that he deliberately let Di Hong go.

Looking at Tang San who was sitting cross-legged to recover not far away, he sighed.

"He is very good. I hope he won't go astray like his father."

He was very happy that the Haotian Sect had such an outstanding younger generation, but he was also afraid that Tang San would be like Tang Hao.

Tang Xiao clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "My fellow elders, the Haotian Sect has been sealed off for many years. Isn't it time to lift the ban?"

"Master, what do you mean?" The second elder was still a little uncertain.

Tang Xiao said: "It has been twenty years, and it is time for the Clear Sky Hammer to reappear in the world of soul masters. Haven't the elders asked me many times to lift the ban?"

"I think the time is ripe now."

"I don't agree." The second elder shook his head and rejected the proposal of Haotian Sect to appear in the world.

The Second Elder explicitly refused, which surprised Tang Xiao.

The second elder explained: "It seems that we should be patient for a while longer."

"Because of the mistress?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Yeah." The second elder nodded slightly.

"Haotian Sect needs a leader who can lead the sect to forge ahead."

"We are getting old, and you are getting old too, but this child is different. He is such a genius, we must not ignore him just because our sect has risen early."

"He needs experience and training. The sect should hide in the dark so that we can train him more effectively."

In fact, he still had a concern, and that was Di Hong. Di Hong's ambition was almost obvious, and he was not sure what Di Hong's attitude towards the Haotian Sect would be in the future.

His strength is too strong, strong enough to destroy the entire Haotian Sect.
