Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting by Settling Scores with Bibi Dong

The massive Clear Sky Hammer stood before Tang Hao like a small mountain.

Tang Hao detonated all his remaining spirit rings in succession; this was his ultimate technique, and the Great Sumeru Hammer created by this move was the most powerful one possible.

At that moment, blood-red patterns on the massive Clear Sky Hammer radiated a formidable power.

Carrying an endless roar of thunder, it blocked the path before Tang Hao.

At that same moment, Qian Xun'an's small golden sword arrived before Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer.

The small golden sword and the Great Sumeru Hammer collided instantly.

The two forces clashed, and an incredibly powerful ripple of energy surged outward.

At that moment, the energy ripple swept across the area, and everything surrounding the two men began to shatter.

Those spirit masters with weaker cultivation levels even bled from their seven orifices under this terrifying pressure!

"BOOM--"

A thunderous sound erupted.

Terrifying energy exploded between the two.

Tang Hao was sent flying by the shockwave, while Qian Xun'an stood his ground, completely unmoved.

Before them, Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer had actually shattered in the face of Qian Xun'an's small golden sword.

"Is it... still not enough to stop you?"

A look of despair appeared in Tang Hao's eyes.

He could never have imagined that even after detonating all his spirit rings to unleash his strongest strike, he still couldn't block a single move from Qian Xun'an.

Just how strong... was this Qian Xun'an!

Swoosh!

The small golden sword instantly reached Tang Hao, piercing directly through his shoulder. In that instant, the golden sword carried Tang Hao's body through the air, slamming him heavily into the wall in the distance.

"BANG!"

A violent crash echoed out, and a massive crater instantly formed on the wall, with debris flying and dust scattering everywhere.

Tang Hao's body was pinned to the wall, every bone in his body shattered.

Pfft--

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Tang Hao's mouth.

He lowered his head, his black hair disheveled, his clothes reduced to mere rags, his entire body bathed in blood.

At this moment, Tang Hao was clinging to life by a single thread; his nine spirit rings had detonated, and his spirit power was completely exhausted.

As he was now, even an ordinary person could kill him with ease.

Qian Xun'an's figure blurred into an afterimage, appearing directly before Tang Hao.

Qian Xun'an's gaze was as calm as a stagnant pool as he looked at Tang Hao and said, "Detonating rings, it is indeed somewhat interesting. It seems this was the move you used to severely injure my elder brother back then!"

Tang Hao lifted his eyes to look at Qian Xun'an and said, "That's right. Back then, Qian Xunji hunted A Yin and me, wanting to seize A Yin's spirit ring. He drove A Yin to a dead end, forcing her to sacrifice herself for me.

Your brother deserved to die.

I gave it my all back then and used the ring detonation. Fortunately, the heavens have eyes; that piece of trash Qian Xunji died in the end."

Speaking to this point, Tang Hao was nearing madness, clinging to his final breath as he roared.

Qian Xun'an looked at Tang Hao and spoke calmly: "Do you truly believe that you were the one who killed my elder brother?"

"You were merely a newly ascended Title Douluo at the time. Even with the power of ring detonation, do you think you could kill a level 95 Title Douluo?" Qian Xun'an questioned calmly.

Tang Hao sneered, "If I didn't kill him, then how did Qian Xunji die?"

"I heard that Qian Xunji died from wounds that would not heal... Hahaha, truly, the heavens have eyes! The heavens have eyes!" Tang Hao laughed aloud.

"How many spirit rings did you detonate when you killed my brother back then?" Qian Xun'an asked again.

Tang Hao let out a cold laugh and said, "Qian Xunji was inferior to you. Back then, I only detonated two hundred-year spirit rings to kill him."

"Only two?"

Qian Xun'an muttered to himself.

Looking at the arrogant Tang Hao, Qian Xun'an knew that Tang Hao likely had no idea how his brother had actually died; he believed in his heart that he was the one who had killed him.

Perhaps thinking this way made him feel more at ease.

However, it was impossible for two yellow spirit rings to kill his brother!

It was true that Tang Hao had wounded his brother back then, but Qian Xun'an was certain that his brother had absolutely not died at Tang Hao's hands.

Although Tang Hao's ring detonation was powerful, there had been a five-level gap between his brother and Tang Hao at the time. For Title Douluos, every level was a massive chasm; a five-level gap was difficult to bridge, even with ring detonation.

Not to mention, Tang Hao had only detonated two hundred-year spirit rings.

If his brother had been careless while Tang Hao unleashed the ring detonation, he might have been severely injured.

But if his brother had been cautious, he would have been able to block some of the force. Even if he had taken the full impact head-on, it would not have been enough to beat a level 95 Title Douluo to death.

This confirmed one thing: his eldest brother did not die at the hands of Tang Hao.

Immediately, the gaze of Qian Xun'an turned cold, and the figure of another person appeared in his mind—Bibi Dong.

Qian Xun'an's mind immediately locked onto Bibi Dong.

Qian Xun'an had always suspected that his eldest brother was killed only after returning to Wuhun Hall, but as for who had done it, he could not be certain.

However, he had already begun to suspect Bibi Dong before this, and now, he was even more convinced.

The logic was very simple: after his eldest brother died, who benefited the most?

The six Great Elders had long since ceased to concern themselves with worldly affairs; his brother's death brought them no benefit whatsoever.

As for the elders of Wuhun Hall, nothing had changed for them after his brother's death. While it was a possibility, their suspicion was not as great as Bibi Dong's.

As for Bibi Dong, after his brother died, she could openly fly off with that Yu Xiaogang, and she had also logically and smoothly become the Pope of Wuhun Hall.

In this sense, the person who benefited the most from his brother's death was Bibi Dong.

Moreover, Bibi Dong hated his brother intensely; aside from the Tang Hao before him, she was likely the one who wanted his brother dead the most.

However, although Bibi Dong was the prime suspect, Qian Xun'an could not kill her without obtaining substantive evidence.

Qian Xun'an knew very clearly what he wanted and what he had to do.

What he needed to do was not merely vent the hatred in his heart; he needed to seek justice for his eldest brother!

To seek justice meant to bring the truth to light before the world, and that required both reason and evidence.

If he wanted to kill Bibi Dong just to vent his anger, he could do so at any time.

But what would happen after killing Bibi Dong?

The people of the world would only think that he killed her because he wanted to seize the position of Pope; no one would believe that he killed her because she had murdered his eldest brother.

His purpose in becoming the Master of the Judgment Hall was singular: to one day have the authority to judge Bibi Dong.

"Bibi Dong, once I find the evidence, I will judge you before the entire world. In front of everyone, I will punish you for all your sins!"

"That day will not be far off!"

Qian Xun'an whispered.

He then looked at Tang Hao and spoke calmly: "I know everything I wanted to know. You severely wounded my brother back then, so you can be considered one of the culprits behind his death."

"So, before you die, do you have any last words?"

Tang Hao raised his head, his mouth filled with blood, and began to laugh maniacally.

"Hahahaha..."

As he laughed, tears streamed continuously from the corners of Tang Hao's eyes.

"A Yin, Tang San, I have failed you both..."

Qian Xun'an watched Tang Hao with an icy gaze. The next moment, a terrifying ripple of energy instantly erupted from his body.

That power instantly swept over Tang Hao.

BOOM—

With a deafening explosion, Tang Hao's body was shattered into pieces!

A generation's God of Slaughter, the legendary Haotian Douluo, had reached his end!

Deep in the forest, Poison Douluo was seen fleeing instantly with Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and the others brought up the rear.

As for the Golden Iron Triangle, they were at the very back.

Grandmaster saw the people from Wuhun Hall catching up, and a plan immediately formed in his mind: "Let us stay behind!"
