Tang Hao's Day of Death

"Kid, what is this thing?"

Tang Hao stared in terror at the tiny black needle embedded in his chest. He could clearly feel his Soul Power draining away at an alarming speed. He had actually become crippled.

"Heh. It's one of the Cao Sect's finest Hidden Weapons—the Soul Chasing Life Taking Yama's Post," Cao Yan said blandly as he slowly rose to his feet.

The Soul Chasing Life Taking Yama's Post provided by the system could instantly strip Tang Hao of his cultivation. Moreover, within three days, Tang Hao would inevitably die. The poison contained within it was enough to take his life!

"What? A Hidden Weapon?" Tang Hao's eyes widened, utterly confused.

"Get lost. I won't kill you today, but don't come harass us again. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time." Cao Yan waved a hand, signaling for Tang Hao to leave.

Of course, after being struck by the Hidden Weapon, Tang Hao was already doomed. Cao Yan only did this because he did not want to kill him in front of Xiao Wu.

Hearing this, Tang Hao did not dare linger any longer. He had lost all his Soul Power; if he stayed here, he might even lose his life. Without another thought, he turned into an afterimage and vanished in an instant.

He had only one thought now: return to Holy Soul Village and heal his injuries.

He knew he had been poisoned.

If he did not receive treatment in time, he might die. He did not want to die yet.

"Xiao Wu, darling, there's something I've been hiding from you too. I knew long ago that you were a Soul Beast, but I still love you deeply. Do you know why?" Once Tang Hao had left, Cao Yan turned to Xiao Wu and spoke.

"Why?" Xiao Wu shook her head.

"Because my Soul Power has already reached level ninety-nine. I'm a Peerless Douluo. The moment I saw you, I saw through your identity. It's just that I don't have any soul rings yet. That is a trial set by my family. Only after I complete those trials can I obtain soul rings." Cao Yan wrapped an arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist and gave it a gentle squeeze, feeling exceptionally pleased.

"It's fine. I like you for who you are. Even if you were only a cripple, I would still love you without hesitation for the rest of my life. There's only you in my life." Xiao Wu smiled gently. A kind and innocent girl like her would never care whether Cao Yan was powerful or not.

She only knew that Cao Yan loved her, and that was enough.

"Fool, you really are foolish. I'll protect you well. For this lifetime, you'll be my little darling." Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Cao Yan flashed a toothy grin, his eyes carrying the unique charm of youth.

As he spoke, Cao Yan suddenly spread his broad, powerful arms and pulled Xiao Wu's petite, delicate body into his embrace. Through the inadvertent contact, he could even feel the innocent heart within her beating. The feeling was wonderfully satisfying.

Xiao Wu obediently smiled. Two snow-white rabbit ears quietly emerged from atop her head, and she revealed two adorable little white teeth. A sweet, rich fragrance escaped her lips, orchid-like and alluring, making one want to cherish her dearly.

"Xiao Wu, darling, you're so beautiful. You're the most beautiful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast I've ever seen. For the rest of my life, I'll protect you well." Cao Yan slowly raised a hand and gently brushed aside a lock of hair from Xiao Wu's forehead before softly kissing it.

Cao Yan did not care whether Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast. In his eyes, Soul Beasts and humans were the same; both had the right to pursue love. With him by her side, Xiao Wu would no longer be lonely from this day onward.

"Silly brother, I won't love anyone else in this life. I'll belong to you forever." Xiao Wu revealed an infatuated smile. Like a little beauty, she lazily stretched her waist, seeming to enjoy the moment in silence.

After a long while, Cao Yan reluctantly moved his lips away from Xiao Wu's smooth, jade-like forehead. He licked his lips as if he still wanted more. A faint fragrance lingered on Xiao Wu's forehead, wonderfully pleasant.

"Cao Yan, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest first." Xiao Wu touched the lingering warmth on her forehead and smiled at Cao Yan.

"Mm." Cao Yan nodded.

Before leaving, Cao Yan did not forget to summon Yu Jin back into his body. Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes as she stared blankly at everything. Cao Yan had told her about his martial soul before, and now it seemed that his martial soul truly was unique.

That night, they still slept in the same bed.

Holy Soul Village.

Eastern side.

This was a house built from piled mud. A crude wooden sign stood before its door, bearing the image of a hammer. However, the sign had already grown moldy, emitting a faint stench that made one nauseous.

This was Tang Hao's house.

By the time Tang Hao returned, it was already midnight. His eyes had turned somewhat white, and the poison from the Soul Chasing Life Taking Yama's Post in his chest had seeped deep into his marrow. This poison simply could not be cured.

Even if the Medicine God himself came, he would not be able to heal Tang Hao's injuries.

Much less could someone like the Medicine God, a figure who existed only in the divine realm, ever be encountered by an ant like Tang Hao.

Therefore, three days later, Tang Hao would inevitably turn into a pool of pus and blood. He would die in tears!

He would never be reincarnated! His fate was utterly tragic!

"Wah!"

Tang Hao pushed open the door, only to feel his entire body go limp. He spat out a mouthful of black blood, then crashed heavily onto the ground like a corpse. His appearance was enough to horrify anyone who saw him!

All his Soul Power had dissipated. He had now become a cripple, a complete and utter cripple. It was pitiful beyond measure.

It was difficult to imagine that this peerless expert, who had once fought dozens of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo alone, would end up in such a state.

In the world of Soul Masters, the name Clear Sky Douluo was as thunderous as it was renowned. No one had not heard of him.

Yet if anyone saw the scene before them, they would likely be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

Who could have imagined it? The mighty Clear Sky Douluo had become a cripple!

"I never expected that I, Tang Hao, who have lived an upright and honorable life, would fall into the hands of a junior today. I refuse to accept this! Ah Yin, I'm sorry. I haven't even had the chance to see you again, yet I'm already about to leave."

"Xiao San, your father is useless. Your father won't be able to keep protecting you anymore. I'm truly worthless. I, the great Clear Sky Douluo, can no longer even protect myself." Tang Hao cried out in agony, tears welling in his eyes as countless memories surfaced in his heart. He did not want to die yet.

But it was already too late.

He had been poisoned, and in three days, he would certainly die. No one could save him!

"Ah Yin, Hao'er has failed you. I couldn't keep the promise between us. I can no longer continue protecting our Xiao San. Don't worry, I'll be able to see you very soon. This time, no one will be able to separate us." Inside the room, Tang Hao muttered to himself, his words brimming with sorrow, as though he had endured a century of loneliness.

After pouring out all the regrets in his heart, Tang Hao's vision went dark, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Three days later, he would face his true day of death!

By then, even if an immortal descended to the world, it would be difficult to save his life!
