Crushed Bones and Scattered Ashes

Tang Hao's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, as if struck by an invisible thunderbolt. His eyes were blood-red, like burning charcoal, even more terrifying than the legendary vengeful ghosts.

"Ugh--ah!"

The moment he opened his eyes, a heart-wrenching scream of pain uncontrollably escaped from his throat.

The hidden injuries were already deeply entrenched, and now that the Soul Bone had been forcibly removed and the Soul Power had been sealed off, even the proud Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul had been crushed into Void.

A torrent of pain engulfed him, and his consciousness, which had just broken free from chaos, nearly shattered the moment it took over his broken body.

But he couldn't break down; the time Lin Xuan had just left felt like a sword hanging over his head.

He dared not think too deeply about it. If Lin Xuan were to take advantage of that moment to raze the Clear Sky Sect to the ground, who in the entire sect could stop him?

So when Lin Xuan said that the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed, he believed him.

Lin Xuan didn't actually do anything, but he deliberately fabricated this colossal lie. Since he was imprisoned and had no way to verify it, it was enough for him to believe that way.

"You... how dare you!?"

Tang Hao trembled all over, whether from extreme pain or rage, he stared intently at Lin Xuan, his eyes bloodshot.

He may become a cripple himself, or be tortured by others, but why implicate the Clear Sky Sect?

For the first time in his life, Tang Hao so desperately wanted to die.

He was filled with remorse. If he had eliminated Lin Xuan sooner instead of letting him gain the opportunity, he wouldn't be in this predicament today, with himself crippled and his sect suffering.

He is the eternal sinner of the Clear Sky Sect!

Two lines of bloody tears slid down his cheeks, and the last glimmer of light in Tang Hao's eyes went out, leaving only a heavy sense of death.

What's the point of him living if the Clear Sky Sect is gone?

"By the way, Ah Yin's Soul Ring are very useful."

Lin Xuan spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"She thought I was your son, so she Sacrifice myself as a sacrifice to me, and we couldn't stop her."

To save you, she forcibly Sacrifice, hoping I would master the Blue Silver Domain - Sea of Rivers. (Although I can't use it yet, what she said is true.)

"Tell me, should I save you too?"

Lin Xuan never cared about killing someone or destroying their spirit.

Tang Hao had been subtly intimidating him for six years; now, as he lay dying, what harm was there in adding a few more obstacles?

"You... you!"

Tang Hao's eyes bulged as he glared at Lin Xuan, but he was already a complete cripple, unable to even move a finger.

"Furthermore, after you fell into a coma, I obtained your Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, the Ring Exploding Ring Secret Method, through Soul Search. From now on, the Explode Ring is no longer your Clear Sky Sect's secret technique, but mine!"

Lin Xuan looked at Tang Hao and said casually.

"You'll die a horrible death..."

He stared intently at Lin Xuan, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, before dying with his eyes wide open in death!

I don't know what I'm angry about.

Was he angry at Ah Yin's complete Sacrifice, or had he himself revealed the sect's secret technique?

Seeing Tang Hao die of anger, Lin Xuan's tense expression slowly relaxed. He felt as if a huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for many years had been lifted off his feet, and he felt much more refreshed.

He preferred the feeling of driving someone to despair and driving them to their death rather than simply killing them.

After all, the grievances he's suffered and the resentment he's accumulated over the years could probably support an Evil Sword Immortal.

Although Tang Hao's death was the end of everything, I still felt uneasy. But the thought that I was the one who angered him to death made me feel a little relieved.

No matter how aggrieved he felt, he still survived, didn't he?

Tang Hao was so angry that he died.

"Phew, finally dead!"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang Hao's corpse and let out a long sigh of relief.

To her, Tang Hao was like a bomb that could explode at any moment; if her identity were revealed, it would be a catastrophe.

Now that Tang Hao, the only one who knew her identity, is dead, and Lin Xuan would never betray her, she can finally truly rest easy.

"Brother Xuan, what do we do next?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head, her gaze sweeping around. This wasn't the Soul Beast Forest; if Tang Hao's body were discovered, it would inevitably cause complications.

"Don't worry, it's easy to solve."

With a slight thought, Lin Xuan took out a large amount of firewood from his Storage Soul Tool.

He had prepared before he came. He was certain that even if Jesus came, it wouldn't make a difference if Tang Hao were reduced to ashes. That's what he said!

Lin Xuan threw Tang Hao's body into the firewood pile, raised his hand and lit the flames. Instantly, flames soared into the sky, and the raging fire sent the former Clear Sky Douluo on his final journey of "traveling the world".

After the fire was extinguished, Lin Xuan carefully put away the seeds left behind by Ah Yin Sacrifice, as well as the Right Leg Bone.

Now is not the best time to absorb Soul Bone.

After utterly destroying Tang Hao, Lin Xuan, with Xiao Wu, headed towards Nuoding City.

At the same time, he continued to familiarize himself with his newly acquired Soul Ring.

After the Blue Silver Domain Fusion Law with Blue Silver Perception, his perception range experienced an explosive increase.

The original 60 meters was expanded to 120 meters.

Furthermore, before level 20, the range increases by ten meters for each minor level increase.

The range of the Blue Silver Domain is closely related to the Soul Ring Age; for every additional year of age, the range expands by one meter.

At this moment, with the two combined, Lin Xuan's Blue Silver Domain covered an astonishing range of over a thousand meters.

Meanwhile, the other three skills in this domain require increasing the Soul Ring Age to unlock.

It takes a thousand years to unlock skill two, ten thousand years to unlock skill three, and a hundred thousand years to unlock the final skill, "Sea of Rivers."

Although for now, one can only use the domain for exploration and to conceal oneself.

Even if he could only use these auxiliary skills, it was enough to make Lin Xuan happy.

Compared to the other three Soul Skill, what he really needed was simply the disguise effect of the domain.

Now, the two can be used together to enhance the coverage of Blue Silver Perception.

He didn't sense anything wrong with it.

There's also the Exploding Ring Secret Method. Lin Xuan looked at this technique and found that it has very high requirements for the body; the higher the Soul Ring Age, the greater the Amplification effect.

Wasn't this designed specifically for him?

Even without Soul Bone, his physical attributes would far surpass those of ordinary people, not to mention the Battle Armor he would acquire later.

However, the Explode Ring is not very effective against Lin Xuan at the moment.

The enhancement from Explode Ring is primarily a strengthening of Soul Power, which can Amplification the power and strength of the Martial Soul Power 100%.

It will only become a burden on the body and will not improve physical strength.

Otherwise, the Explode Ring wouldn't need a strong body to support it.

His current Soul Power, and the Soul Ring Age isn't very high either.

Even if it explodes, it won't increase combat power much; it's not as strong as the damage caused by a pair of fists.

That night, at the Nuoding Academy.

Tang San waited until Yu Xiaogang was completely asleep before dragging his tired body back to his dormitory.

Yu Xiaogang's limbs were broken by Lin Xuan, and although he received treatment from the Teacher, he is still unable to take care of himself in the short term.

Tang San's filial piety and devotion moved Yu Xiaogang even more, and he secretly resolved to nurture him into a capable person no matter what.

Back in his dormitory, Tang San felt inexplicably uneasy, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making it hard to breathe. It was as if something of utmost importance was quietly slipping away from him.

Disturbed and unable to sleep, he got up to go to the playground for some fresh air, only to bump into Xiao Wu and... Lin Xuan walking together at the entrance!

The moment he saw Lin Xuan, an uncontrollable rage surged from the depths of his heart.

Whether it was anger at him for seriously injuring Yu Xiaogang, or anger at something else, even Tang San himself couldn't say for sure; he only felt a burning rage in his chest.

When Xiao Wu saw Tang San, she immediately showed her signature puffed-up expression and glared at Tang San angrily.

She knew that Tang San was unaware of her and Tang Hao's identities, but the thought that Tang Hao was Tang San's father and that he had schemed against her and Lin Xuan for Tang San's sake made her furious.

"Lin Xuan..."

Tang San stared at Lin Xuan, his eyes blazing with anger, but ultimately said nothing more.

He was naturally aware of the deep-seated feud between Yu Xiaogang and Lin Xuan.

They had already summoned Soul Saint to deal with Lin Xuan, making it a fight to the death.

Therefore, he wouldn't ask such a stupid question as "Why did you hurt the Teacher?" Now that things have come to this, even if Lin Xuan killed Yu Xiaogang on the spot, no one could say he was wrong.

But Lin Xuan's methods were even more ruthless than killing.

He destroyed Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul and Soul Power, which was more despairing than death for Yu Xiaogang, who was obsessed with the way of the Soul Master all his life.

But he couldn't say, "Why didn't you kill my Teacher?"

In the end, Tang San could only call out Lin Xuan's name fiercely, staring at him with his malevolent eyes as if he wanted to torture him to death with his gaze.
