Angel and Judgment / Killing the Tang Family Grandfather and Grandson
"Yet, under the guise of so-called true love, they forgot the peace won with the blood of their ancestors, forgot the beast tides from the Soul Beast, and chose to be with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form, and gave birth to a human-beast hybrid child."
"Do you know what the human-animal hybrids from the previous continent were called?"
"Wolf Bandit!"
"Some of you may not know what Wolf Bandit are. They are God of Evil creatures that are half-human and half-beast. They are deformed offspring born from human women who are forcibly mated with a Soul Beast called the Gale Demon Wolf. They possess both human intelligence and the bloodthirstiness and brutality of Soul Beast."
"They travel in packs, preying on humans with extreme cruelty, like bandits, burning, killing, and looting wherever they go, leaving no one alive. Hence the name ' Wolf Bandit.'"
The crowd below fell silent, their expressions turning complicated as they looked at Tang Hao, who was bound on the execution platform. What had initially been simple hatred for the man who had killed their clansmen and disciples now carried a hint of disgust.
Chapter 198 Angels and Judgment
The chains on the execution platform made a grating grinding sound, and blood seeped from Tang Hao's loose hair, yet he still stared intently at Qian Xunji's hypocritical face. The more holy the golden light emanating from the Spirit Hall, the more nauseating his high-sounding words became.
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Tang Hao sneered, "After all that talk, didn't you all still covet Ah Yin's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring back then, resorting to any means necessary? That's the real evil!"
"My wife Ah Yin, is so Goddess of Kindness and has never harmed anyone. Just because she's Soul Beast, she's going to be hunted down by you."
Tang Hao was an extremely self-centered person. He was not swayed by Qian Xunji's words. He treated his wife Ah Yin, separately from the other Soul Beast, believing that such a good Ah Yin should not die. He blamed it all on the self-proclaimed righteous people who actually wanted Ah Yin's Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Qian Xunji was engrossed in his speech when Tang Hao suddenly interrupted him, which greatly displeased him.
He looked at Tang Hao and retorted, "Then all Soul Master should die, including you, Tang Hao. You are Titled Douluo with nine Soul Ring. How do you know whether killing Soul Beast is good or bad?"
"If Goddess of Kindness shouldn't lead to death, then those ordinary people killed by Fallen Soul Master shouldn't die either. Why don't you avenge them?"
"Among those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples, and ordinary people you killed, there were many Goddess of Kindness people involved. They didn't deserve to die either!"
Tang Hao paused for a second, which contradicted what he had just said.
He said his wife, Ah Yin, was kind and had never harmed anyone, so she shouldn't be killed just because she was a spirit beast. However, he then took revenge out of anger and killed many innocent and kind people.
Even when faced with the same situation, people cannot truly empathize with each other.
Tang Hao's eyes were always filled with the flames of revenge when he looked at the Spirit Hall.
In his world, the Spirit Hall was the object he would fight and destroy his entire life, because he knew clearly that it was the Spirit Hall that had leaked the news that Ah Yin was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
In Tang Hao's memory, the Spirit Hall outwardly maintained peace on the continent and helped ordinary people awaken their Martial Soul, but in reality, it was ambitious, bullied the weak, and would stop at nothing to achieve its goals.
Well, this didn't stop him from letting his son Tang San receive the Soul Master subsidy from the Spirit Hall, nor did it stop him and the Clear Sky Sect disciples from hunting for Soul Ring in the Soul Beast Forest established by the Spirit Hall.
He believed that the Spirit Hall, while claiming to be "justice," acted with extreme tyranny.
To seize Ah Yin's Soul Ring, they are willing to launch wanted notices and hunt down without hesitation, which completely contradicts their proclaimed ideals.
In Tang Hao's view, their "greatness" is built on power and plunder, and is hypocritical.
In short, the Spirit Hall and those who hunted him and Ah Yin were all at fault. He was innocent and a pitiful man who had lost his wife.
"As expected, you are all hypocritical. The hatred of killing one's wife is irreconcilable. If you want to kill, then kill. Why waste so much time on nonsense?" Tang Hao, ignoring his own injuries, looked up and met Qian Xunji's golden eyes, his gaze filled with resentment and hatred.
Qian Xunji was speechless. There was no reasoning with this kind of person. If you talked to him about racial blood feuds, he would tell you that his wife Goddess of Kindness and innocent. If you talked to him about Goddess of Kindness and innocence, he would say that blood debts should be repaid in blood.
However, he never intended to reason with Tang Hao.
Qian Xunji wanted to give speeches, brainwash people, stir emotions, and attract followers.
······································
Meanwhile, those who didn't particularly like the Spirit Hall fell silent after hearing Tang Hao's words.
Tang Hao isn't a good person either!
How dare you criticize the Spirit Hall?
Although the major powers all felt that the Spirit Hall's free awakening of Martial Soul for commoners was a ploy to win people's hearts and minds, they still admired the Spirit Hall's actions to some extent.
It is extremely rare for commoners to have Innate Soul Power. Often, a village may not produce a single commoner Soul Master for decades. Even if a Soul Master does emerge, their potential is usually limited, and they can only reach the level of Soul Grandmaster at most.
Despite the extremely low probability, the Spirit Hall sends people year after year to awaken the Martial Soul of almost every child on the continent for free.
The income is completely disproportionate to the effort!
They accuse the Spirit Hall of being treacherous and manipulative, but asking them to put in the effort to win people's hearts? That's impossible!
Ning Rongrong, somewhat curious, tugged at Ning Fengzhi's sleeve and asked, "Daddy, what's it like to be a human-animal hybrid?"
"Is it half Soul Beast and half human?" Ning Rongrong had never seen Wolf Bandit before. After hearing Qian Xunji's words, she felt a little disgusted. A human-beast hybrid who even eats people!
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Ning Rongrong with a hint of helplessness, then explained, "The situation of human-beast hybrids is special, and I'm not entirely sure either. The Wolf Bandit are indeed half-human and half-beast."
"Usually, Wolf Bandit retain the basic form of a wolf, but can walk upright. They have wolf heads and human bodies, are covered in bluish-gray fur, are muscular, have sharp claws and teeth, and are extremely aggressive. Their eyes are usually bloodthirsty red or ferocious green. Moreover, they have an extreme fondness for eating people, and are far more likely to attack villages than ordinary Soul Beast."
"However, when Tang Hao's son was born, perhaps because his mother was Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, he was almost like a normal human infant."
Having participated in the pursuit of Ah Yin, Ning Fengzhi was curious about whether there were any special characteristics to human-beast hybrids, so he specifically researched and learned about the existence of Wolf Bandit, only to be disappointed.
Wolf Bandit don't produce Soul Ring, making them less valuable than ordinary Soul Beast.
However, Tang Hao's son was born to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so there might be other differences.
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around. "He was born in human form, so will he awaken Martial Soul and become Soul Master like humans? He's a human-beast hybrid, so does he need to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring?"
The questions kept coming, leaving Ning Fengzhi unsure which to answer first. He could only shake his head helplessly. "Only Tang Hao on stage probably knows the answers to these kinds of questions. Let's keep watching!"
"Oh!" Ning Rongrong's curiosity was not satisfied, and she was a little unhappy.
······································
Qian Xunji satisfaction.
"Trial begins!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a dazzling golden light shot into the sky, tearing through the thick clouds. The true form of the enormous Six-Winged Angel slowly emerged, each wing flowing with a sacred and majestic golden light, a light that carried a murderous intent.
The giant sword held by the Six-Winged Angel seemed to be formed from the light of the entire sun. The runes flowing on the blade shimmered with mysterious and powerful energy, and ripples spread through the space wherever it passed.
Bound by chains in the center of the judgment seat, Tang Hao looked at the menacing Angel True Body without the slightest fear in his eyes.
The angel's giant sword, carrying the force of splitting the heavens and earth, slashed fiercely down at Tang Hao.
The piercing shriek as if the air was being torn apart was deafening. Under this terrifying pressure, the floor of the judgment seat cracked inch by inch, and gravel flew everywhere.
Chapter 199 Killing the Tang Family Grandfather and Grandson
The Six-Winged Angel's giant sword tore through space, slashing towards Tang Hao with a world-destroying pressure. At the critical moment, a black shadow Flash like Gui Mei.
Tang Chen's figure, marked by the passage of time yet still exuding unparalleled majesty, stood firmly in front of Tang Hao.
Behind Tang Chen, dark golden Soul Power surged out like a raging tide, and a huge phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer slowly emerged. Its imposing aura was no less than that of the sacred Six-Winged Angel's true form.
His eyes burned with fury as he stared intently at the Six-Winged Angel and said in a deep voice, "The Spirit Hall has gone too far!"
"When--!"
The Angelic Greatsword and the Clear Sky Hammer collided with a deafening roar, unleashing energy like a nuclear explosion. A massive energy storm emanated from the two figures, causing the entire Spirit City to tremble violently. Distant mountains even showed signs of fracturing. Smoke and dust filled the sky, obscuring the sun. Everyone was awestruck by this terrifying power, their eyes wide with disbelief as they watched this scene unfold.
Tang Chen snorted coldly, his voice resounding throughout the entire Spirit City like a booming bell. "Qian Xunji, do you think you can just mess with the people of my Tang family? Today, anyone who wants to harm Hao'er will have to get past me first!" With that, Tang Chen's aura surged once more, and the illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer shone brightly.
but...
Qian Xunji remained silent, only continuing to intensify the application of his Soul Power, causing Tang Chen, who had been able to resist, to begin to struggle.
Under the golden angelic greatsword, the Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the number one Martial Soul on the continent, was gradually suppressed.
Until the very last moment, it was completely crushed by the angel's greatsword, which was burning with golden flames.
This scene stunned everyone who had expected a major battle to break out.
Especially some of the older people, who knew Tang Chen's identity, naturally understood just how terrifying Qian Xunji Xunji's strength was in overwhelmingly defeating Tang Chen.
Back then, Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer across the entire continent unchallenged, establishing the Clear Sky Sect Upper Three Sects and forging a friendship with the number one power Spirit Hall.
If it weren't for Tang Hao's actions, the Clear Sky Sect would probably be very powerful now, and even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have to avoid its sharp edge.
"How is this possible?" Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was following behind Ning Fengzhi, was somewhat incredulous.
As fellow weapon Martial Soul, Chen Xin naturally knew the power of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. It wasn't just the Martial Soul itself that was powerful, but also the Self-Created Soul Skill developed and passed down through generations of the Clear Sky Sect. These were incomparable to his own, a single successor of the Seven Kill Sword lineage.
It's not just the Martial Soul that's strong, but also the inheritance and accumulation.
It is said that even Qian Daoliu, the Pope the Spirit Hall at the time, lost to him.
Qian Xunji was only Qian Daoliu's son, so why...?
····································
Qian Xunji simply used pure force to crush the hammer that was blocking him.
The giant sword of the Six-Winged Angel's true form fell, crushing the entire execution platform to pieces and creating a huge crater.
Tang Hao, who was on the execution platform, and Tang Chen, who was in front of Tang Hao, both lay seriously injured in the pit.
Qian Daoliu, hidden in the shadows, witnessed the entire process.
He looked up at his son on the high platform, his eyes filled with fervent yet pure gaze, scrutinizing him again and again, but he still couldn't find that familiar sense of wisdom.
Qian Xunji seemed to sense something and glanced in Qian Daoliu's direction. His golden eyes were majestic and holy, yet utterly devoid of humanity.
Then the blond deity shifted his gaze to the Tang family grandfather and grandson, who were barely clinging to life in the pit.
"So annoying!" Qian Xunji seemed to be complaining.
In such a solemn speech and trial, the two should have died the moment the angel's sword fell; that would have been the most perfect farewell.
However, the Tang family grandfather and grandson ruined this perfection.
The enormous Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul true form behind Qian Xunji began to change.
The enormous golden wings, originally intended for purification and healing, suddenly surged upwards, burning fiercely. Golden-red flames clung to the angel's greatsword, and a shimmering golden dragon soul could be faintly seen Entanglement around it.
As the giant sword fell, a resounding dragon's roar echoed.
The sheer power and prestige emanating from him caused those present to involuntarily bow their heads and bend their backs, unable to control themselves and displaying a posture of submission.
This is suppression from the Martial Soul.
Just like the Phoenix Martial Soul naturally has a suppressive effect on other avian Martial Soul with bloodlines lower than its own.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is extremely familiar with this state, but usually they are the ones suppressing others.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul can easily suppress other sub-dragon Martial Soul.
