Tang Hao Betrays His Master and Ancestors

"You, you, you!"

Tang Kun was so furious he could barely speak, his finger trembling uncontrollably.

At this moment, a disciple spoke up: "Fifth Elder, Tang Hao has been completely bewitched by this demoness. We should just kill her; only once she is dead will Tang Hao's mind clear up."

"That's right! As long as we kill this demoness, our Clear Sky Sect will remain the number one sect in the world as it once was, rather than a laughingstock. Otherwise, in the eyes of the world, our Clear Sky Sect will forever be a joke!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

The crowd of Clear Sky Sect disciples raised their fists and began to chant.

"Very well!"

Tang Kun nodded, then summoned his Clear Sky Hammer.

"Hao'er, it's alright. You will wake up soon enough."

Following his lead, the other Clear Sky Sect disciples summoned their own Clear Sky Hammers.

They were not just dealing with Tang Hao, but also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The Fifth Uncle's constant labeling of her as a demoness, combined with the other disciples' cries to kill Ah Yin, finally snapped the last thread in Tang Hao's mind—it was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

At this very moment, Tang Hao made a decision that defied his ancestors.

His Clear Sky Hammer grew in size, his soul rings swirled around him, and his Slaughter God's Domain expanded, instantly knocking some of the Clear Sky Sect disciples unconscious.

Seeing this, Tang Kun felt even more disappointed.

"Tang Hao, are you really going to turn against the sect for the sake of this demoness? Are you going to raise your hand against your own kin?"

"For the sake of Ah Yin, what does it matter if I turn against the entire world? Even if it includes all of you! Do not force me to strike!"

Tang Hao's eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot; with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, he felt as if he possessed the world.

"Tang Hao!"

"Stop wasting your breath! Tang Hao has completely lost his mind. Kill that demoness!"

The Clear Sky Sect disciples swarmed forward, but they were not acting mindlessly; they moved in coordination, forming a battle formation.

Tang Hao erupted with unparalleled combat power, unleashing his Slaughter God's Domain.

Within the basic abilities of the Slaughter God's Domain, the enemy's strength is automatically reduced by ten percent, while the user can exert one hundred and ten percent of their own power.

Since obtaining the Slaughter God's Domain at the age of twenty-eight, Tang Hao had grown it to a terrifying level.

He could now weaken his enemies by sixty percent and boost his own abilities by sixty percent.

This effect was even more pronounced against weaker opponents, and even those with great strength were not immune to its influence.

As the Slaughter God's Domain manifested, the Clear Sky Sect disciples felt their strength plummet by half, and they were struck with horror.

Tang Kun shouted: "Do not panic! I will deal with Tang Hao; you all hurry up and kill that demoness!"

"Yes!"

"Kill!"

"You dare!"

Tang Hao's rage intensified, pushing him to his limit. Facing Tang Kun's massive hammer, he swung his own with terrifying momentum. Since Tang Hao followed the extreme single-attribute path where raw power overcomes all techniques, a single strike sent Tang Kun flying.

"Fifth Elder!"

"You all must die!"

Tang Hao pivoted, swinging his massive hammer at the other Clear Sky Sect disciples. With every strike, another disciple was flattened into a gruesome, two-dimensional sticker.

The others were left missing limbs, collapsing to the ground and screaming.

"Ah, my leg is gone! Someone save me!"

"Ah, my head is gone! Someone save me!"

Blood covered the ground, and the air was filled with wails.

"Tang Hao, you beast! You absolute beast! Do you know how many resources the Clear Sky Sect spent to cultivate you? And yet, for the sake of a woman, you would kill so many of your own sect brothers!"

Tang Kun's eyes and nose were practically spewing fire. He never imagined that this beast, Tang Hao, would truly lay lethal hands on the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

Never before had the Clear Sky Sect harbored such a monster!

Tang Kun no longer held back, unleashing the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes with ease.

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"

"Well come! Witness my Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang Hao immediately employed his most proficient path of power; the Chaotic Cloak was his strongest technique aside from the Great Sumeru Hammer.

"Stop! All of you, stop! Don't fight anymore! You must stop fighting! Stop it!"

Ah Yin stood to the side, constantly cheering him on and drawing aggro.

After only a few exchanges, Tang Kun was struck in the chest and sent flying.

Even Title Douluo had been crippled by him, let alone a mere Soul Douluo.

Fired up, Tang Hao prepared to strike again, but Ah Yin immediately stepped forward to hold him back.

"Brother Hao!"

Tang Hao stared daggers at Tang Kun and roared, "Fifth Uncle, don't blame me. You forced my hand! Why did you have to force me!"

Tang Kun spat out a mouthful of blood, forcing his injured body to stand as he bellowed, "Tang Hao, you beast! How could your father have sired a beast like you!"

Seeing the corpses of Clear Sky Sect disciples scattered across the ground, Tang Hao felt a pang of regret, but it was too late. He could only harden his resolve and speak with the arrogant air of a puffed-up rooster.

"Fifth Uncle, I have no other requests in this life. I only wish to be with Ah Yin. Please, stop forcing me. Ah Yin and I are truly in love."

Perhaps truly believing what Martial Soul Hall had claimed—that this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Blue Silver Emperor had seduced the continent's most talented genius to overthrow human rule—Tang Kun was even less likely to agree.

"Impossible! Tang Hao, I will give you one last chance: kill that demoness and return to the Clear Sky Sect!"

Tang Hao said furiously, "Fifth Uncle, stop pushing me! If you force me any further, I..."

"What do you want to do! Do you want to destroy the Clear Sky Sect!" Tang Kun roared!

"I..."

Tang Hao was momentarily stunned. Despite having killed many Clear Sky Sect disciples, his heart still leaned toward the sect; he remained a slave to his clan.

His tone softened, and he knelt down with Ah Yin. "Fifth Uncle, rest assured. Even though I have left the Clear Sky Sect, I am still a member of the sect. I will protect the Clear Sky Sect from the shadows."

Tang Kun spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Tang Hao! The Clear Sky Sect has no such disciple as you!"

At this moment, several powerful auras surged toward them from the distance.

Tang Hao could sense familiar presences—they were the sect elders, as well as his own brother.

Seeing Tang Hao momentarily distracted, Tang Kun seized the opportunity and threw everything he had into a strike against Ah Yin.

"How dare you!"

Tang Hao descended into madness once more.

With another swing of his massive hammer, he sent Tang Kun flying, leaving him unable to hold on any longer.

Fortunately, the other elders arrived in time to catch Tang Kun, who had already fallen unconscious.

When the elders saw the corpses littering the ground alongside Tang Hao and Ah Yin, they immediately understood what had transpired.

"Tang Hao, you beast!"

"Beast! You are a beast!"

Even Tang Xiao had not expected that his own brother and the woman he loved would commit such atrocities.

"Tang Hao, you have truly been bewitched by that demoness! Surrender at once!"

Tang Hao pulled Ah Yin into his arms and declared domineeringly, "I am taking her with me today. Let's see who dares to stop me!"

"You're courting death!"

"Attack together! We must not let him escape!"
