Facing Tang Hao Head-On

A dark, windy night—perfect for murder...

Kong sat atop the Rose Hotel. After what had happened during the day, he refused to believe that man would make no move tonight.

Given how petty that man was, after Tang San had knelt like that, it would be strange if he did not show himself.

"Young Master, that girl..."

Beside Kong stood an elderly man whose Soul Power had reached level eighty-seven.

His eyes gleamed, and he could barely contain his excitement. This was his first time seeing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

And it was even the legendary kind that could take human form!

A 100,000 Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone were right before his eyes, practically within reach!

If they obtained those two priceless treasures, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would undoubtedly rise to even greater heights!

Two elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been following Kong and secretly protecting him.

Both had reached the rank of Soul Douluo, and both possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as their martial soul!

They were direct descendants among direct descendants!

Only then could Yu Yuanzhen feel even slightly at ease.

"The legendary transformed soul beast... If you, Young Master, can obtain her soul ring and soul bone, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will surely rise to even greater heights!"

Yu Yuanyuan—the elder in question—grew increasingly fervent.

Just then, a figure appeared silently beside the two of them.

There was a faintly strange look in his cloudy eyes.

Xiao Wu's identity had gone undiscovered for so many years. He had never expected the first to uncover it to be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects!

If this matter was not handled properly, Tang San and Xiao Wu would face pursuit from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan tomorrow!

If things escalated, every force on the Douluo Continent with even a little influence would join the hunt for Tang San and Xiao Wu.

This was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast capable of taking human form!

There was also something Tang Hao had not anticipated: the child he had intended to teach a lesson was actually the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

"Who goes there?!"

Yu Yuanyuan shouted angrily and instantly shielded Kong behind him. For someone to appear so silently, beyond even his detection, this person had to be a formidable enemy!

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else and discuss it!"

After saying that, Tang Hao ran toward the outskirts of Suotuo City. He believed the three of them would follow.

Yu Yuanyuan did not immediately follow. His duty was to protect Kong's safety; everything else came second.

That was Yu Yuanzhen's absolute command. He could not disobey it, and besides, he felt the same way himself.

Although the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was important, he had not tried to capture it immediately. That alone showed how seriously Yu Yuanyuan took his duty.

In the darkness, another figure appeared as well. He was the other elder assigned to protect Kong.

The two exchanged a glance, unable to decide. This man had appeared out of nowhere, and they did not know whether he was friend or foe!

"Let's go. We'll follow him and see."

Kong spoke at that moment.

Tang Hao had old injuries, and under normal circumstances, he could not even wield eighty percent of his full strength.

Though those two Soul Douluo were still no match for him, Kong's true trump card had never been these two Soul Douluo!

Hearing this, the two nodded and followed after him with Kong.

They had witnessed Kong's martial soul awakening before. This Young Master's background was far from simple...

Before long, the group arrived outside Suotuo City.

Bright moonlight spilled across the land, lending a little light to the pitch-black night.

After Tang Hao stopped, he silently weighed whether to leave all three of them here for good or simply intimidate them into abandoning their designs on the Ten Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit.

As for the so-called shared bonds of the Upper Three Sects, Tang Hao did not care in the slightest!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only promoted such talk because they were relatively weak. Their goal was to bind the strongest Clear Sky Sect to their side.

If something truly happened, what shared bonds? When disaster struck, they would still scatter separately, each wishing the other two sects would perish so that they alone could dominate!

Tang Hao did not even fear Spirit Hall, so why would he fear the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? That Old Dragon? Once he fell, would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still have anyone left?

"Who exactly are you?"

Yu Yuanyuan asked Tang Hao with a grave expression.

This man looked like a beggar, without the slightest air of a powerhouse, yet the pressure radiating from his presence made cold sweat break out on Yu Yuanyuan's brow.

Tang Hao did not answer. Instead, he used his actions to tell Yu Yuanyuan exactly who he was!

With a clench of his right hand, a warhammer nearly 1.8 meters long appeared in Tang Hao's grasp.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath Tang Hao's feet.

"Titled Douluo!"

"Clear Sky Hammer! A 100,000 Year Soul Ring!"

"You're Tang Hao?"

A man's reputation was like a tree's shadow. Cold sweat beaded on Yu Yuanyuan and the other elder's foreheads, and a chill ran down their backs.

Tang Hao's reputation had reached its peak twelve years ago!

He had broken through to become a Titled Douluo and severely wounded Pope Qian Xunji, who died not long after returning to Spirit Hall.

Neither of them had expected to encounter the legendary Titled Douluo, Tang Hao, here in Suotuo City!

They knew exactly what they were capable of. If they faced an ordinary Titled Douluo, the two of them might stand a chance together, but against Tang Hao...

There was absolutely no hope!

Yu Yuanyuan gave the other elder a look. No words were exchanged, but he was telling him that he likely would not be making it back.

The other elder nodded. If a fight truly broke out, he would not hesitate to take Kong and flee first!

Once they returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master would avenge Yu Yuanyuan!

That was, of course, assuming Tang Hao made a move.

"I can let today's matter go and pretend it never happened."

Tang Hao spoke at that moment.

In the end, he still did not make a move!

Of the two Soul Douluo, one had even reached rank eighty-seven. If they did not run, he was completely confident he could kill all three of them.

However, if one stayed behind to hold him off while the other insisted on fleeing, he was not completely confident he could keep all three of them here.

As for Kong, the Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Hao did not take him seriously at all.

He was about Tang San's age. No matter how strong he was, how strong could he possibly be?

"That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form was discovered by me first. You are not allowed to set your sights on her!"

Tang Hao's gaze sharpened as the pressure of a Titled Douluo erupted from him.

"This..."

Yu Yuanyuan hesitated slightly. He had not expected that after finally discovering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect had beaten them to it!

If the Clear Sky Sect obtained that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's soul ring and soul bone, would their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still have any chance of rising up and becoming the top clan?

Tang Hao himself already possessed a 100,000 Year Soul Ring. There was no way they would believe he did not also have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

"What? You..."
