Tang Hao Betrayed His Teacher and Ancestors

"You—you—you!"

Tang Kun was furious, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Just then, a disciple said, "Fifth Elder, Tang Hao has been completely bewitched by this demoness. Why not kill her? Only then will Tang Hao come to his senses."

"That's right. As long as we kill this demoness, the Clear Sky Sect can still be the greatest sect under heaven, as it was before, instead of becoming a laughingstock. Otherwise, we'll be a laughingstock in the eyes of the world forever!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

The Clear Sky Sect disciples raised their fists and shouted.

"Fine!"

Tang Kun nodded, then brought out the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Haoyi, it's all right. You'll come to your senses soon."

The other Clear Sky Sect disciples followed suit and brought out their Clear Sky Hammers.

They weren't just dealing with Tang Hao, but also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Fifth Uncle kept calling her a demoness, and the other disciples kept demanding that Ah Yin be killed. Little by little, they snapped the last thread of Tang Hao's restraint, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back.

At that moment, Tang Hao made a decision that went against his ancestors.

His Clear Sky Hammer grew larger as Soul Rings swirled around him. His Divine Slaughter's Domain spread out, directly knocking some of the Clear Sky Sect disciples unconscious.

Seeing this, Tang Kun was even more disappointed.

"Tang Hao, are you really going to make an enemy of the sect for this demoness? Are you going to fight your own family?"

"For Ah Yin, so what if I make an enemy of the whole world? Even if that means making enemies of you! Don't force me to attack!"

Tang Hao's eyes were frighteningly red. With the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, the world was his.

"Tang Hao!"

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

The Clear Sky Sect disciples rushed forward, but they didn't charge blindly. They formed a battle array and attacked as a group.

Tang Hao, meanwhile, unleashed an astonishing level of strength, releasing his Divine Slaughter's Domain.

At its basic level, the Divine Slaughter's Domain weakened the enemy by ten percent while allowing its user to exert one hundred and ten percent of his strength.

Tang Hao had obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain at the age of twenty-eight. By now, it had grown to a terrifying degree.

It could weaken his enemies by sixty percent and increase his own strength by sixty percent.

The weaker the opponent, the more pronounced the effect. Even powerful opponents were affected.

As soon as the Divine Slaughter's Domain appeared, the Clear Sky Sect disciples felt their strength cut in half. They were all horrified.

"Don't panic," Tang Kun said. "I'll deal with Tang Hao. Hurry and kill that demoness!"

"Yes!"

"Attack!"

"You dare!"

Tang Hao flew into an even greater rage and erupted with power. Faced with Tang Kun's enormous hammer, he swung his own with terrifying force. He followed the extreme single-attribute path, where sheer strength overwhelmed every technique. One blow sent Tang Kun flying.

"Fifth Elder!"

"You're all going to die!"

Tang Hao swung his great hammer around and brought it down on the other Clear Sky Sect disciples, one after another. Each disciple became a beautiful two-dimensional sticker.

The others narrowly avoided losing limbs too, 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 cries of pain filled the air.

"Tang Hao, you beast! You beast! How many resources did the Clear Sky Sect spend raising you? And now you've killed so many of its disciples for a woman!"

Tang Kun's eyes and nostrils practically spouted fire. He couldn't believe Tang Hao had really gone so far as to kill his fellow disciples.

What kind of beast would attack his own sect like this?

Tang Kun stopped holding back and instantly unleashed the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"

"Bring it on! Try my Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang Hao immediately used the power-based technique he was best at. Aside from the Great Sumeru Hammer, Chaotic Cloak was his strongest move.

"Stop! You two, stop fighting! Don't fight anymore! Please, stop!"

Ah Yin kept cheering and egging them on from the side, drawing their hatred toward herself.

After only a few exchanges, Tang Kun took a blow to the chest and was sent flying.

If Tang Hao could cripple a Titled Douluo, then a mere Soul Douluo was nothing to him.

Still fired up for battle, Tang Hao was about to attack again when Ah Yin hurried over and grabbed him.

"Brother Hao!"

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

Tang Kun spat out a mouthful of blood. Bracing his injured body, he roared, "Tang Hao, you beast! How could Big Brother have fathered a monster like you?"

Seeing the Clear Sky Sect disciples' bodies strewn across the ground, Tang Hao regretted what he had done. But it was too late for regrets. He could only steel himself and speak with the swagger of a proud, chest-thrusting rooster.

"Fifth Uncle, I've never asked for much in my life. I only want to be with Ah Yin. Please, stop forcing me. Ah Yin and I truly love each other."

Perhaps because he really believed what Spirit Hall had said—that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor before them, had seduced the continent's most talented genius to overthrow human rule—Tang Kun was even less willing to agree.

"Impossible! Tang Hao, I'll give you one last chance. Kill that demoness and return to the Clear Sky Sect!"

Tang Hao said angrily, "Fifth Uncle, don't force me! If you keep pushing me, I..."

"What will you do? Destroy the Clear Sky Sect?" Tang Kun roared.

"I..."

Tang Hao froze. Though he had killed many Clear Sky Sect disciples, his heart still belonged to the sect. He was still a slave to his sect.

His tone softened. He knelt down with Ah Yin. "Fifth Uncle, don't worry. Even if I leave the Clear Sky Sect, I'll still be one of its people. I'll silently protect it from the shadows."

Tang Kun spat out another mouthful of blood.

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

Just then, several powerful auras rushed toward them from afar.

Tang Hao recognized them as the familiar auras of the sect elders—and his older brother.

Seeing Tang Hao momentarily distracted, Tang Kun seized his chance and summoned every last bit of strength to attack Ah Yin.

"You dare!"

Tang Hao went berserk again.

With another swing of his great hammer, he sent Tang Kun flying yet again. Tang Kun could no longer hold on.

Fortunately, the other elders arrived in time to catch him, but Tang Kun had already passed out.

The elders saw the bodies scattered across the ground, along with Tang Hao and Ah Yin. It was obvious what had happened.

"Tang Hao, you beast!"

"Beast! You beast!"

Even Tang Xiao hadn't expected his younger brother and the woman he loved to do something like this.

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

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

"You're asking for death!"

"Attack together! We absolutely cannot let him go!"
