The God of Asura's Hidden Hand
Just as Tang Hao and Ah Yin were immersed in the joy of their son's birth, not far away, Qian Xunji, along with Yue Guan and Gui Mei, led a group of his Dark Guard to gather and wait for the surveillance personnel to return and report.
Qian Xunji was somewhat disgusted by the cow dung on the rural dirt road. He wouldn't have come in person if it weren't for the Spirit Bone of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Qian Xunji also didn't trust Yue Guan and Gui Mei to capture and steal it.
After all, it's the Spirit Bone of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! No Soul Master can resist this temptation. Qian Xunji personally led the team to prevent Tang Hao from having the same outburst as Yu Xiaogang. He recalled the overwhelming and terrifying intimidation and soul-shaking feeling after Ah Yin sacrificed herself to Yu Xiaogang.
Qian Xunji his fear, Qian Xunji's eyes revealed an endless greed for the Spirit Bone of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that were about to be obtained. Soon, he would be able to acquire one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone after another.
"Yu Xiaogang! Bibi Dong! I, Qian Xunji, will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, for the pain you inflicted upon me! Hehe, my dear disciple, your teacher will definitely capture you and bring you back to the Spirit Hall! Your teacher will punish you properly!"
Qian Xunji thought darkly to himself, he was extremely confident that he could easily defeat Ah Yin, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Transformation! Tang Hao was just a Soul Douluo, how could he possibly turn the tide under his leadership! He didn't believe that Tang Hao could unleash terrifying power against Yu Xiaogang! A sound came from the Small Woods, and the Dark Guard Qian Xunji had been monitoring returned. Soon, in broad daylight, a Spirit Hall Dark Guard dressed in black knelt respectfully before Qian Xunji and said emotionlessly:
"Pope Holiness has discovered that Tang Hao and Ah Yin are in the village ahead. Ah Yin has given birth and is currently weak. Please give Pope orders to surround and capture them?"
Qian Xunji, who had recently been unable to resist getting an erection, was finally caught red-handed. Was this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Ah Yin? It was laughable that it even bore children for Tang Hao, a human! Soul Beast should obediently become Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone for Soul Master! He glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei behind him and said seriously:
"Elder Ju and Ghost Elder, each of you lead a team to surround the village ahead. Don't let a single person escape! Especially Tang Hao and Ah Yin, don't let me down."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei tensed up. Ever since Qian Xunji suffered a loss at Yu Xiaogang's hands last time, he had become even more unpredictable. The two exchanged a cautious glance and respectfully addressed Qian Xunji:
"As His Holiness the Pope commands! Your subordinate will do everything in his power to capture Ah Yin!"
Qian Xunji through the air with an air of great pride and gave a grunt. Yue Guan and Gui Mei each led a team of the Spirit Hall Dark Guard to quickly surround the village ahead.
Qian Xunji didn't care where the Blue Silver Grass, which could be seen everywhere in the Douluo Continent, was swaying on the ground. Yun Lan sent a warning to Ah Yin through the Blue Silver Grass Network. Ah Yin, who was being tender with Tang Hao, suddenly stopped and started trembling all over.
This puzzled Tang Hao, who was holding Ah Yin. He assumed it was a sign of weakness after Ah Yin and looked at her with tender concern.
"What's wrong? Is Ah Yin feeling unwell? I'll go find a healing Soul Master right away! Ah Yin, you stay here and take care of our son, I'll be right back!"
Tang Hao, unaware of the critical situation, acted recklessly. Ah Yin, cradling the newborn Tang San, huddled fearfully in Tang Hao's large, warm embrace, her eyes filled with dread. She uttered words that chilled Tang Hao to the bone:
"Ah... Ah Hao! Let's run! The Blue Silver Grass just told me that the Spirit Hall Pope is coming towards us with two Titled Douluo and a large number of Soul Saint. We have to run now! Ah Hao, we can't beat them. There are three Titled Douluo on the other side. I'm so scared!"
Tang Hao was initially shocked. He had originally planned to have Ah Yin take Tang San and escape while he covered their retreat. However, when Ah Yin said she was so scared, his heart trembled. He couldn't bear to leave his loving wife Ah Yin and his adorable newborn son.
"Ah Yin! I promise we can survive! We're not far from the Clear Sky Sect. If we get any closer, we can send a distress signal to the sect! Let's go!"
Ignoring Ah Yin's weakened state after childbirth, Tang Hao scooped her up and rushed out of the hut towards the Clear Sky Sect. He wanted to escape before the Spirit Hall could form an encirclement! He wanted Ah Yin to live, and his mind was filled with hatred for the Spirit Hall! Why did this happen when Tang Hao was just starting to enjoy a peaceful life?
As long as his family can escape this time, Tang Hao will definitely get his revenge! Ah Yin was held by Tang Hao, feeling his heavy breathing and the scenery receding rapidly. She felt very happy now. At least Tang Hao wouldn't be greedy for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Spirit Bone and Spirit Ring.
Ah Yin only felt sorry for her newborn son; he was so young and had to grow up alone, and she felt sorry for him. However, she hoped that her mother would return soon, and that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang hadn't deceived her, as Bibi Dong had found her and conveyed Yu Xiaogang's conjecture.
Yu Xiaogang said that Tang Hao's soul was hiding a powerful, evil, and insane killing force, which was very well hidden. He guessed that Tang Hao had been secretly attacked by the gods in the Slaughter City. He didn't know why the gods in the Divine Realm were paying attention to Tang Hao. Anyway, Yu Xiaogang guaranteed Ah Yin's safety and promised that even if Ah Yin died, he would resurrect her.
Ah Yin wasn't very clever. She only knew that the gods of the Divine Realm had their eyes on Tang Hao and her, and Master Yu Xiaogang 'Grandmaster intention was to test the gods' intentions. After she became pregnant with Tang Hao's son, she sensed that the child in her womb had a very strange aura. As a member of the Blue Silver Grass Clan's royal family, with the help of the collective consciousness of the Yun Lan Blue Silver Grass Network, she sensed the same divine power aura as Tang Hao.
She was terrified, but she kept these secrets to herself. Through Yun Lan, she contacted Yu Xiaogang, hoping that her unborn son would become his apprentice. In Ah Yin's mind, Yu Xiaogang was the smartest person on the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, the Dragon Gate Sect has Bibi Dong, a near-level 99 Limit Douluo, in charge. Where could be safer than this place? If she hadn't been forced to go with Tang Hao to travel the Douluo Continent, she wouldn't have been able to refuse him.
Just as Ah Yin was lost in thought, recalling Yun Lan's words, a booming male voice echoed in her and Tang Hao's ears, "Tang Hao, where do you think you're going? Hand over Ah Yin! I'll spare your life!"
Tang Hao tensed up and hugged Ah Yin even tighter. His Soul Power circulated faster, his veins bulged, and his speed increased dramatically! In an instant, a Spirit Hall Dark Guard rushed out in front of Tang Hao and blocked their way. Tang Hao's muscles worked faster than his brain. With a roar, he took a big step and jumped. His size 45 foot, accompanied by over 90 units of Soul Power, slammed heavily on the slightly bewildered face.
"Boom! Ah!"
A shrill scream rang out as the Spirit Hall Dark Guard, unable to withstand Tang Hao's large foot, fell headfirst into a large crater in the ground.
Then, without even checking the effect of his attack, Tang Hao used the momentum from his kick in mid-air to fly even further away, disappearing into the forest rocks in no Qian Xunji. A moment later, Qian Xunji appeared, glaring at the unconscious Dark Guard on the ground, who was twitching and seemingly dead, and roared, "Useless trash! You couldn't even stop one person! What use are you to me, the Pope! Chase after him! Today I'll make that damned Tang Hao know the wrath of the Spirit Hall!"
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope!"
The Spirit Hall's Dark Guard tensed up and shouted in response, then surged forward in a massive chase after Tang Hao! Qian Xunji didn't even glance at the Dark Guard lying upside down on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance; trash like that had no reason to live!
It's a rare day off on Sunday, so the update is a bit late today. I'll resume my normal update schedule tomorrow! But honestly, Aquaman 2 is all about the special effects!
