Tang Hao Appears to Kill! Last Wish: Torment Tang San, Kill Tang Hao!

Er Ni's suicide completely enraged the bandit leader, and in his fury, he nearly slaughtered the entire village.

"Bitch!"

One-Eyed Brute roared in rage, kicking over a table.

"Kill them all! Slaughter this pathetic village!"

Screams, wails, and the crackling of burning flames filled the air.

Er Gouzi's entire family was eventually killed.

Aunt Li lay in a pool of blood.

Er Gouzi's corpse hung from the courtyard fence, his eyes wide open in death.

"..."

In reality, Lin Qing fell silent.

He stared fixedly at the light-shadow projection, at the figure of Er Ni lying in a pool of blood, his expression exceptionally grim.

"Bandits..."

He squeezed these two words through his teeth, his voice chillingly cold.

Killing intent surged from the deepest part of his heart.

Although he could not confirm whether this Er Ni was virtual or from a parallel world, she was certainly not his Er Ni.

Yet, he still found it deeply infuriating.

Regardless, Er Ni was his savior.

The Lin Qing in the last words was also filled with fury, the warmth in his eyes fading bit by bit.

I asked the villagers for the location of the bandits' lair, intending to avenge Er Ni and the others. After hearing about what happened here, Xiao Wu decided to join me.

"I'm going too!"

Xiao Wu blocked Lin Qing's path, her eyes red.

"Those animals must not be let off!"

Tang San tried to dissuade Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, we can notify Martial Soul Hall or the city guards about this."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Wu glared fiercely at Tang San.

"If you're scared, don't follow us!"

She snapped back at him just like that.

Tang San opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only follow along helplessly.

Taking advantage of the night, the three of us found the bandits' lair.

Black Wind Cave.

The entrance was lit by torches, and two bandit lackeys were leaning against the stone wall, dozing off.

Xiao Wu helped me hold off the lackeys.

"Hey!"

Xiao Wu's figure flashed, and she kicked out!

Before the two lackeys could react, they were sent flying, slamming into the stone wall and passing out.

Seeing Xiao Wu take action, Tang San reluctantly joined in to help; he had no interest in Lin Qing's affairs, only in Xiao Wu's.

Tang San sighed and flipped his wrist.

Several flashes of cold light streaked through the air, and the bandits rushing over from the distance fell to the ground.

A sleeve arrow was embedded in each of their throats.

I walked alone into the depths of the cave, found the bandit leader, and fought him one-on-one!

Using the trickery of my mental-type Martial Soul and the power of my thousand-year second soul ring's illusions, I easily killed the bandit leader, avenging Er Ni and the villagers, and found the strange piece of metal described by the villagers among the bandit leader's treasures.

Seeing this, Lin Qing slowly exhaled a breath of stagnant air.

"At least... revenge was taken."

His parallel-world self had secured justice for Er Ni.

This caused the killing intent in his heart to calm down slightly.

However, Just as he thought the last words were coming to an end, The tone shifted abruptly.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were shocked that my second soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring.

At the cave entrance, Tang San and Xiao Wu stared blankly at the purple spirit ring beneath Lin Qing's feet.

"A thousand-year second spirit ring?"

Tang San muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

[Yet, unexpectedly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky without warning!]

"BOOM!"

The entire cave trembled, and gravel rained down.

[A figure in a black robe suddenly descended before me. The black cloak obscured his face, but that aura... cold, vast, and unfathomable.]

[The pressure weighed down upon me, leaving me unable to breathe.]

Lin Qing let out a muffled groan, his knees buckling; he nearly collapsed to the ground.

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand upright.

A trickle of blood already seeped from the corner of his mouth.

[The black-robed man demanded to know how I had absorbed a thousand-year second spirit ring.]

The black-robed man spoke slowly.

His voice was hoarse and low, as if it contained endless indifference.

"Speak."

A single word made the air heavy and suffocating.

[In that instant, I understood exactly who this person was—the owner of the cold gaze I had felt for days and nights: Tang Hao!]

The youth raised his head, staring fixedly at the black-robed figure.

A flash of realization crossed his eyes, followed by despair.

In reality, Lin Qing's heart sank.

Damn it, the worst-case scenario has happened.

[Seeing me treated this way, Xiao Wu immediately launched an attack on Tang Hao, only to be easily subdued.]

The black-robed man did not even move.

With just a light wave of his hand, an invisible force bound Xiao Wu in place, leaving her unable to move.

[At the same time, a strong killing intent surged from Tang Hao toward me; that intent almost materialized, cold, bone-chilling, and suffocating.]

[I looked at Tang San not far away, only to find his gaze toward Tang Hao complex, with no intention of speaking up to stop him or help.]

[In this moment, I understood: Tang San had also recognized Tang Hao, and he did not intend to do anything.]

The youth Lin Qing smiled miserably.

The blood at the corner of his mouth flowed faster.

[Whether it was the secret of the thousand-year second spirit ring or my friendship with Xiao Wu, Tang Hao would likely not let me go this time.]

[Might as well... stop pretending.]

"Hahaha!"

The youth Lin Qing suddenly laughed, a frantic, crazed sound.

He swayed as he stood straight, bracing against the terrifying pressure.

Blood flowed from his nose and mouth, but he ignored it.

[Standing up against the pressure, blood streaming from my nose and mouth, I pointed at the black-robed Tang Hao and let out a crazed shout.]

"Xiao Wu!!"

"He is Tang San's father, a Titled Douluo!!!"

He used every ounce of his strength to roar those words.

"..."

Dead silence.

Xiao Wu was stunned.

Tang San was also stunned.

[After I finished speaking, Tang Hao's pressure suddenly intensified!]

"RUMBLE!!!"

The entire cave collapsed completely!

[With a bang, my body exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere.]

[Regrettably, I died.]

The light and images came to an abrupt halt, plunging into darkness.

In reality, Lin Qing sat blankly in the dilapidated wooden hut, staring at the empty air before him.

A long time passed.

He slowly lowered his head to look at his own hands.

Then he looked up again, toward the black urn on the table.

On the lid, the portrait of his twelve-year-old "self" seemed to be watching him quietly.

"Tang Hao..."

Lin Qing murmured the name.

Then, he smiled, a cold smile.

"What a fine Clear Sky Douluo."

He stood up and walked to the window.

He pushed it open.

The evening breeze blew in, carrying the scent of soil and grass.

In the distance, smoke curled from the chimneys of Emperor Soul Village.

In the small courtyard of Er Ni's home, the figure of the young girl could be vaguely seen busy at work.

"Buddy."

Lin Qing spoke softly to the air, as if speaking to the dead parallel Lin Qing, or perhaps to himself.

"I have noted your vengeance."

He turned around and looked at the urn once more.

[Ding! Listening to the last words complete!]

[Receiving the relics of Lin Qing...]

The lid of the urn popped open automatically.

There were no ashes inside.

Only two things remained.

The first: a piece of peculiar metal the size of a palm.

The second: a purple phantom of a soul ring that seemed to be condensed from light.

[Obtained relics: "Gold of Life", "Two-Thousand-Year Illusion Fox Soul Ring"]
