The instant the Clear Sky Hammer fell, Qian Renxue, who had been immobilized by the pressure, erupted with astonishing strength at the brink of death.
She broke free of Tang Hao's pressure and instantly shifted to a spot ten paces away.
Tang Hao's attack missed, but it still overturned all the rocks on the ground.
If that terrifying force had struck Qian Renxue, then even as a level-seventy Soul Sage, she would certainly have been crushed into a puddle of flesh.
Looking at the destruction Tang Hao had caused, Qian Renxue still felt a lingering fear in her heart.
"Oh? You can break free from my control? You do have some skill."
"But since you could escape, why didn't you just run away? Why did you stay there?"
As Tang Hao spoke, the Soul Power around him suddenly erupted with pressure several times stronger than before.
Nine soul rings appeared around him one after another.
This time, Qian Renxue was bearing several times the pressure she had faced before.
Without using her Martial Soul Avatar, Tang Hao would not even need to make a move.
She would probably collapse completely if she remained under this pressure for even a little too long.
But if she released her Martial Soul, Tang Hao would certainly recognize her identity.
Once he realized she was Qian Xunji's descendant, he would absolutely show her no mercy.
At that moment, Qian Renxue glanced at Lu Jiang.
The most important thing now was to get Lu Jiang out of here first.
She could not let him die at Tang Hao's hands.
She still had a way to escape from Tang Hao.
Thus, Qian Renxue shouted at Tang Hao:
"Because you killed my father, I will definitely kill you and avenge him!"
Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Tang Hao.
Yet her words left Tang Hao somewhat confused.
He had killed her father? When had that happened?
He was not some righteous saint, but he was not so utterly vile that he went around destroying other people's families, was he?
Unless...
Tang Hao froze, suddenly recalling a great battle from five years ago.
During Spirit Hall's pursuit, he had broken through to become a Titled Douluo and killed quite a few of Spirit Hall's top experts.
Could this little girl's father have been one of those people he killed back then?
The aura around Tang Hao gradually weakened somewhat.
If this child's father had truly died by his hand,
then her anger toward him was understandable.
Qian Renxue clearly felt the pressure on her body lessen a little.
She immediately said to Lu Jiang:
"Hurry and go!"
"Don't worry about me. I have my own way of getting out!"
Qian Renxue had originally wanted Lu Jiang to seize this opportunity and escape.
However, Lu Jiang wore an expression of complete indifference.
He showed no intention of running at all.
Qian Renxue was stunned. Was this guy not even afraid of a Titled Douluo?
What kind of joke was that? No matter how talented he was, he was still not even level forty.
For a Titled Douluo, killing him would be no different from crushing an ant.
Could it be that he knew he could not escape a Titled Douluo, so he had simply given up?
Just as Qian Renxue was puzzled by Lu Jiang's behavior,
Tang Hao suddenly approached her again, and the aura around him returned to its previous oppressive intensity.
"No matter who your father was, he brought it upon himself."
"It was your Spirit Hall that forced Ah Yin and me first. Even if I killed him, he deserved to die!"
Tang Hao had already made up his mind. Since they were remnants of that battle five years ago,
he had to eliminate them completely. Otherwise, he would certainly draw Spirit Hall's attention.
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Qian Renxue became even more furious.
What did this man take human lives for?
"You were innocent, so did that mean my father deserved to die?"
In her rage, Qian Renxue could no longer keep herself hidden.
So what if her identity was exposed? So what if she could not defeat Tang Hao and was killed by him?
She absolutely could not continue being so pathetic!
Then, six wings of holy light unfolded behind Qian Renxue.
As she flapped her wings, sacred light turned into flowing radiance and fell upon the ground.
At that moment, a sacred aura erupted from Qian Renxue's body.
With a raised hand, she condensed a Sword of Judgment in her grasp.
"Tang Hao, today is the day you die!"
Qian Renxue shouted and charged straight at Tang Hao.
The instant Qian Renxue revealed her Martial Soul, Tang Hao froze.
He had definitely seen this Martial Soul before.
Right, it was him!
Tang Hao recalled the battle five years ago, when he had fought Qian Xunji, the master of Spirit Hall.
So this person was actually Qian Xunji's daughter.
Tang Hao silently lowered his head as a grim killing intent suddenly radiated from his body.
"Clear Sky True Body!"
Tang Hao did not hold back, immediately unleashing his Seventh Spirit Skill, Clear Sky True Body.
The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly vanished.
Then a scarlet glow emerged from his body.
The next second, Tang Hao disappeared. He grabbed Qian Renxue by the head and hurled her toward the ground.
Qian Renxue's defenses could not withstand Tang Hao's attack at all.
All she could do was stare in shock as Tang Hao flung her away like a stone.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, the impact she had imagined never came.
Instead, someone caught her by the shoulder and stopped her.
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes and saw a middle-aged man standing behind her, clad in golden armor with spiky red hair.
"Young Hall Master, don't run off so quickly. This old servant had quite a hard time finding you."
"Pufferfish Douluo?"
Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised. She had clearly not told anyone in Spirit Hall that she was coming out this time.
Why had she alerted someone from the Elder Hall?
Ci Xue wore an arrogant expression as he looked at Tang Hao in the distance and said:
"Who would have thought that after searching for you for five years, you'd show yourself here?"
"And you even dared to bully our Young Hall Master. You've got some nerve."
"Back then, we merely forced your wife back to her original form. Looks like we went too easy on her."
Ci Xue immediately taunted Tang Hao.
Those words struck precisely at Tang Hao's sore spot.
The Tang family was just like that. If you provoked them, they would kill you.
If you provoked their woman, they would wipe out your entire family!
In the original story, all three generations of Tang San's family were hopeless romantics.
The kind who would throw away their lives for a woman.
People like that would never understand what it meant for life to be precious.
Lu Jiang looked at Tang Hao, whose killing intent had already risen, and sighed.
At that moment, Acheron came to Lu Jiang's side.
She placed her hand on the Katana at her waist.
At the same time, a lock of her hair had lost its color, turning ash-white.
"Trailblazer, do you need me to act?"
