Beating Tang Hao Senseless

Lin Hao quickly packed his things, then headed toward the Soul Hunting Forest with Brother Qiang. They soon arrived at their destination.

Before Lin Hao could ask anything, Brother Qiang suddenly sped up and ran away, clearly afraid of being silenced.

Lin Hao did not stop him. After all, he was only letting him live a little longer. In the end, he would still be fed to the Soul Beasts!

He looked around and said with unusual calmness:

"The rat lurking in the shadows can come out now. You've achieved your goal!"

"A mere Soul Master, where did you find the courage to follow me out even knowing it was a trap?"

A tall, elderly man stepped out from behind a tree. He wore a simple gray robe, and his messy black hair hung loosely over his shoulders.

"May I ask who you are? How have I offended you? Not only are you bullying the young with your seniority, but you even went to such lengths to lure me out of the city!"

Lin Hao did not directly expose the other man's identity. After all, he was not planning to kill Tang Hao yet!

"Why does an ant have so much to say? Today, I'll cripple your limbs. In the future, you'd better not act so arrogantly!"

Tang Hao shouted coldly, his figure flashing forward as he kicked at Lin Hao!

"How dare you! Who are you to lecture my Young Master, you shameless wretch?!"

Long Xiaoyao had not expected Tang Hao to be so shameless. A gentle force from his palm sent Lin Hao flying away, and he immediately threw a punch at Tang Hao, knocking him back in an instant!

"Who are you? How can you possess such strength?!"

Tang Hao's expression darkened as he felt the force behind the blow. He hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul.

He stared intently at Long Xiaoyao, for he knew that his opponent was a Titled Douluo!

"Who I am is none of your business!"

Long Xiaoyao answered coldly. When he saw the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand, along with the nine Soul Rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red, his acting skills erupted.

He pretended as though he had suddenly realized something and asked gravely:

"The Clear Sky Hammer, a 100,000 Year Soul Ring... You're the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao?!"

Before his words had even faded, a terrifying Soul Power pressure erupted from Long Xiaoyao's body, covering the entire Soul Hunting Forest in the blink of an eye!

"Just who are you?"

Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly and stared at Long Xiaoyao before him, his face filled with gravity.

He could feel the intense sense of danger radiating from Long Xiaoyao.

He knew that this old man before him was absolutely a Titled Douluo whose strength was no weaker than his own!

"Who I am is none of your concern. But if you intend to lay a hand on my Young Master today, you're courting death!"

Long Xiaoyao's tone was icy. Daring to threaten the Young Master in front of him was simply a death wish!

"Die!"

With a furious roar, Long Xiaoyao abruptly summoned his Martial Soul, the Dark Sacred Dragon.

A colossal Dark Sacred Dragon emerged behind Long Xiaoyao.

Amid a terrifying roar, it suddenly merged into his body.

A layer of black scales instantly covered Long Xiaoyao's body, dazzling light gleamed in his eyes, and dragon wings spread from his back.

Around him appeared the same Soul Ring configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, and red. Accompanied by surging Soul Power, they radiated a formidable aura.

"100,000 Year Soul Rings?! Two of them?!"

Tang Hao was not particularly surprised that Long Xiaoyao possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo.

But the fact that Long Xiaoyao actually had two 100,000 Year Soul Rings left him utterly shocked.

As far as he knew, wasn't he the only person on the entire Douluo Continent with a 100,000 Year Ninth Soul Ring?

Since when had another person with a 100,000 Year Ninth Soul Ring appeared—and remained by his side all this time!

While Tang Hao's heart was filled with shock and confusion, Long Xiaoyao did not wait for him.

After completing Martial Soul Possession, he immediately unleashed his seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!

As his seventh Soul Ring lit up, his body rapidly expanded to over nine meters tall.

His entire body was covered in pitch-black scales that gave off a deep, dark sheen.

His dragon wings spread wide, and faint light flickered from octagonal runes on every dragon scale.

Massive dragon horns rose toward the heavens from his head, while his dragon tail swept behind him.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyao seemed to have transformed into a humanoid Dark Sacred Dragon, releasing a deafening roar.

Then he leaped down, instantly becoming a black shadow as he pounced fiercely toward Tang Hao with howling winds and violent momentum.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Clear Sky Avatar!"

Facing Long Xiaoyao charging down from the sky, Tang Hao showed no weakness. With an angry roar, he also activated his seventh Soul Skill, Weapon Soul True Body.

As the seventh Soul Ring circling him lit up, a vast surge of Soul Power poured into the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.

Under the seventh Soul Skill, Weapon Soul True Body, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, it became incomparably massive, nearly taller than Tang Hao himself, its hammerhead resembling a siege ram.

"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"

Gripping the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, Tang Hao gave an angry shout and immediately swung the Clear Sky Hammer Avatar.

After turning several times to build up power, he suddenly leaped into the air and smashed his hammer toward Long Xiaoyao, who was descending from above.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the enormous claw extended by Long Xiaoyao in his Dark Sacred Dragon form collided with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

A powerful wave of Soul Power erupted, stirring up raging shockwaves that swept wildly in all directions.

The trees throughout the forest shook violently, while dead branches and fallen leaves scattered through the air.

"How is this possible?!"

As the Clear Sky Hammer Avatar collided with the Dark Sacred Dragon's massive claw, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically.

He could actually feel that the hammer strike he had launched after stacking the power of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer several times was completely unable to withstand Long Xiaoyao's terrifying strength.

Long Xiaoyao then swung another savage claw, and a horrifying force surged from the Clear Sky Hammer Avatar.

Tang Hao was sent staggering backward, his hands gripping the hammer's handle already beginning to go numb.

Before Tang Hao could steady himself, Long Xiaoyao's next attack had already arrived. A sharp whistling sound rang out beside his ears.

A massive black tail tore through the air and struck Tang Hao in an instant, sending him flying.

"Is that all the so-called Clear Sky Douluo can do? Weren't you acting so arrogant just now?"

After sending Tang Hao flying, Long Xiaoyao sneered and shook his head.

Based on his Young Master's earlier description, he had thought Tang Hao was someone impressive. He had not expected this was all he had!

Then his figure flashed, turning into a black afterimage as he charged fiercely toward Tang Hao.

"Take this!"

Rushing before Tang Hao once more, Long Xiaoyao swung his massive claws and lashed his enormous tail, launching relentless attacks at Tang Hao without giving him a single chance to catch his breath!

Amid thunderous roars, the Soul Rings circling Long Xiaoyao lit up one after another.

All kinds of Soul Skills continuously bombarded Tang Hao. He clearly intended to beat Tang Hao until smoke rose from him, venting his anger on behalf of his Young Master!
