Medical Fees

"Interesting."

With two fingers held together like a sword, Ye Cheng casually blocked Tang Hao's all-out Great Sumeru Hammer strike. His expression remained calm. Feeling the power behind the blow, he commented, "If your grandfather Tang Chen used this move, it might be worth watching. But you..." He left his sentence unfinished, but the meaning was obvious.

Kid, your training is still lacking. Go home and train for a few hundred more years.

The actual damage was minor, but the humiliation was immense. Tang Hao's face flushed red and purple with rage. Finally, he stopped holding back. He abruptly withdrew his hammer and retreated more than ten steps before unleashing the Great Sumeru Hammer's strongest technique—Ring Burst!

Boom!

Black-red flames instantly surged up. The nine soul rings around Tang Hao all lit up at once, turning completely black-red. Even his body became the same color.

The next moment, all nine soul rings shattered explosively.

The power from their destruction merged into his body.

"Roar!!"

Tang Hao's eyes had completely turned black-red, and his expression was incomparably savage, like a crazed beast. Filled with violent fury, he swung his massive hammer and charged forward.

This... he had actually shattered his soul rings.

Was he hurting himself to fight for his life?

I've never heard of anyone being able to shatter soul rings and temporarily increase their strength.

This method feels like it must have serious side effects...

A barrage of comments swept past.

The Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer, especially the core secret technique known as Ring Burst, was not something ordinary soul masters could know about. As a result, many people assumed Tang Hao had detonated his soul rings because he was fighting desperately.

Only those who understood the truth knew that Tang Hao in the video was not harming himself. He was using the top-tier secret art that had allowed the Clear Sky Sect to shake the world.

"Hmph, you forced me to burst all nine rings, yet you still refuse to use your martial soul!" Tang Hao watched his future self burst all nine rings in succession, only for his opponent Ye Cheng to remain utterly unhurried. Amid his anger, he was convinced that Ye Cheng would suffer badly this time!

After all, Ring Burst was the Clear Sky Sect's unpassed secret, its true core technique.

Back then, he had relied on the Ring Burst secret art of the Great Sumeru Hammer to severely wound the previous pope, Qian Xunji.

He was confident that with this technique, even Qian Daoliu, another Limit Douluo, would likely have to avoid him.

It could only be said that Tang Hao thought far too highly of himself. He also severely underestimated what a Limit Douluo truly represented.

In the video.

"Oh, shattering soul rings to merge their power into one's body and gain a temporary enhancement. This secret technique is rather interesting." Ye Cheng watched Tang Hao, whose aura was now many times stronger than before, yet he remained as calm as ever.

He did not make a move until Tang Hao had rushed right in front of him.

And he truly made a move.

He slapped out through the air!

"Slap!!!"

Before the imposing Tang Hao could react, he felt as though an invisible giant hand had viciously slapped him across the face.

That immense power not only neutralized the force of his Ring Burst, but also sent his entire body flying sideways.

"All flash and no substance..."

Ye Cheng slowly lowered his hand and said blandly, "No matter how many times an ant's strength increases, it cannot change the fact that it is still an ant."

In reality.

Seeing his future self burst all nine rings, only to remain so utterly helpless before that man, Tang Hao's expression instantly became incomparably ugly.

"This is impossible!!!"

He let out a low roar, unable to believe what he was seeing. He even began to question the Question and Answer Video.

If Ye Cheng had defeated him by using martial soul skills and relying on his profound cultivation, then even if Tang Hao was unwilling to accept it, he could at least understand it. The key was that from beginning to end, that man had not even summoned his martial soul. He had crushed Tang Hao solely with his immense Soul Power!

Every one of his attacks had been a joke before that man.

How could Tang Hao possibly accept this?

In the video...

After slapping Tang Hao away.

As Ye Cheng slowly approached him, he said, "Do you think that as long as you have strength, you can do whatever you please? In your eyes, the strong can freely trample and bully the weak, right?"

At this point, Tang Hao's face had nearly been disfigured by that invisible slap. The fractures throughout his body were too numerous to count. If not for a soul master's tenacious vitality, an ordinary person would have long since died beyond saving.

But even though he had not died, Tang Hao no longer had any strength left to fight.

"Now, I am the strong one, and you are the weak one."

"How about I bully you too?"

Step by step, he arrived before Tang Hao and looked down at him lying on the ground like a dead dog.

Ye Cheng suddenly shook his head and said, "I originally intended to take your life, but I've changed my mind."

"You are not worthy of dying beneath my sword!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao, who had been lying on the ground like a dead dog awaiting execution, suddenly widened his eyes as though he had suffered the greatest humiliation! Yet deep within his heart, he also felt the relief of having narrowly escaped death.

But before he could rejoice for long, pain suddenly shot through his right arm and left leg.

Ye Cheng had abruptly flicked his joined fingers. Invisible Sword Qi swept across Tang Hao's body, directly severing his right arm and left leg!

"Aaaahhh!!"

Having suddenly lost an arm and a leg, even Tang Hao could not help but scream in agony.

After the arm and leg separated from his body, the flesh and skin on them automatically weathered away, eventually becoming two smaller skeletal objects.

Soul bones?!

How ruthless! So he cut off Tang Hao's arm and leg because he had soul bones?

Tang Hao basically used two soul bones to buy his life.

Hahaha, serves him right! Who told him to bully the weak with his strength...

A barrage of comments swept past, most of them gloating over his misfortune.

It made Tang Hao's teeth itch with hatred. With one glance, he recognized those two soul bones as the highest-quality soul bones on his body. They were inherited soul bones of the Clear Sky Sect.

Each was roughly seventy to eighty thousand years old, making them among the best soul bones beneath the hundred-thousand-year level.

Fortunately, this was merely something that would happen in the future, not something that had already happened.

Now that he knew the future in advance, Tang Hao naturally would not foolishly provoke the girl named Zhu Zhuqing again. As long as he did not have the misfortune of offending that fiend, there were only a handful of people on the continent who could defeat him. There was no need to worry about something like what had happened in the video.

In some ways, this Future Video had utterly ruined his reputation, but it had also spared him the future of losing his limbs. He truly did not know whether he had lost or gained from it.

Tang Hao thought with mixed emotions.

In the video.

After removing the two best soul bones from Tang Hao's body, Ye Cheng faced his furious, hate-filled gaze and said calmly, "You may be spared from death, but you cannot escape punishment. These two soul bones will count as compensation for my disciple's Medical Fees."

After saying that, he turned around. The two soul bones on the ground automatically floated up and followed behind him. Tang Hao lay on the ground, watching the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul bones gradually leave him. He painfully closed his eyes. He truly was a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect!
