I Can't Lose Ah Yin

He smashed down again and again, wiping away bloody tears and snot, roaring incessantly: "Give me back Ah Yin, give me back Ah Yin, give me back Ah Yin, ahhhhhh!"

The other elders watched as Tang Kun was smashed into a pulp, struck by such shock and horror that they felt a chill seep deep into their marrow.

"Beast, you absolute beast!"

They had never imagined the situation would escalate to this point; they never thought Tang Hao could be this ruthless once he lost his mind!

Tang Hao whipped his head around, his eyes burning with the gaze of a man looking at his mortal enemies: "Ah Yin's death is on your hands, and you must all die!"

"Tang Hao, you animal! Are you really going to kill your own uncles for the sake of this demoness?" the Third Elder shouted.

"Hahahaha! Ah Yin is dead, and I have no heart left to explain. As for the Clear Sky Sect, if it's gone, I'll just rebuild it. As for you lot, I will smash every one of you into pulp and eat you piece by piece!"

Tang Hao had long since abandoned all bottom lines. He swung his Clear Sky Hammer, intent on smashing the elders one by one into paste to consume them.

The first was the Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, who had been the loudest in his cursing!

Just as Tang Hao was about to crush Tang Lie, the voice of Tang Yuehua rang out: "Brother Hao, Ah Yin isn't dead."

At some point, Tang Yuehua had rushed over, cradling Ah Yin in her arms and checking for the faint breath at her nose.

Hearing that Ah Yin was still alive, Tang Hao stopped in his tracks and rushed over, domineeringly snatching Ah Yin from Tang Yuehua's arms.

"Brother Hao..." Ah Yin slowly opened her eyes, waking up to say weakly.

"Hahahaha, Ah Yin, my Ah Yin is still alive, my Ah Yin is still alive!" Tang Hao was so ecstatic that he pulled her even tighter into his embrace.

"Brother Hao, please don't be so impulsive in the future. If Ah Yin had truly died, she would have dropped a Soul Ring and Soul Bone," Tang Yuehua said patiently, her heart aching as she looked at the man she loved.

Not only that, but the impact of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast dying and releasing its Soul Ring and Soul Bone would be visible for miles around.

Ah Yin said weakly: "Brother Hao, have you forgotten? With my Blue Silver Domain, I am essentially immortal. The highest mystery of the Blue Silver Domain is: 'Wildfires cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life.' No matter how severe the injury, I can recover within forty-nine days, even if my heart is pierced."

"Mm, mm, mm," Tang Hao nodded repeatedly.

Not far away, Tang Lie was courting death once again, shouting: "Why won't this demoness just die? If you died, it would be over and done with. I see right through you—you just don't want to die, and you've been bewitching that beast Tang Hao all along!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao prepared to put Ah Yin down and smash Tang Lie to death.

Ah Yin held him back, a gentle green light shining upon Tang Hao: "Brother Hao, you cannot continue to make mistake after mistake. Look around you."

Tang Hao looked at his surroundings—at the piles of gore and the unrecognizable smear that was his Fifth Uncle, Tang Kun—and slowly began to regain his senses.

For the sake of Ah Yin, he had actually smashed his Fifth Uncle, the man who had loved him most besides his father, into a pile of meat.

And the Clear Sky Sect disciples from before—some reduced to two-dimensional stains, others maimed beyond recognition.

"I..."

A look of agony crossed Tang Hao's face, filled with despair and collapse.

"What have I done..."

Tears streamed down Tang Hao's face once more.

Tang Lie, thinking Tang Hao had finally come to his senses, hurriedly shouted: "Hao'er, you've finally woken up! Quickly, kill that demoness! It was her bewitchment that caused you to accidentally kill your Fifth Uncle."

"Shut up! Ah Yin did not bewitch me!"

At the mere mention of Ah Yin, Tang Hao's mind seemed to cloud over again as he roared.

Tang Lie's eyes widened; he thought Tang Hao had regained his sanity, so what was happening now?

Tang Hao looked at the pulp that was once Tang Kun and immediately knelt, making yet another decision that betrayed his ancestors.

"Ancestors of the Clear Sky Sect, it is this child who is unfilial, but I cannot lose Ah Yin! The Clear Sky Sect gave me life and raised me, giving me everything, yet I have committed such beastly acts. I, Tang Hao, have failed the Clear Sky Sect and its ancestors. To compensate the sect, I will do my utmost to collect high-level Soul Rings for the Clear Sky Sect in the future. Even if the sect expels me, the blood of the Clear Sky Sect still flows through my veins, and I will help the sect clear away all its enemies from the shadows!"

The elders of the Clear Sky Sect realized that Tang Hao was going to be the death of them all!

Tang Lie continued to court death: "Our Clear Sky Sect has no need for that! All you need to do is kill that demoness and then take your own life, otherwise, you are forever unworthy!"

Ah Yin looked at Tang Hao and said gently: "Brother Hao, perhaps I should just die..."

Tang Hao roared like a madman, swearing: "No! Ah Yin, if you dare to commit suicide, I will slaughter everyone in this world and make them all accompany you in death!"

The kind-hearted Ah Yin could not allow such a thing to happen: "Brother Hao, don't! I promise you, I will live well, please, never do such a thing!"

The elders of the Clear Sky Sect were practically vomiting blood, pounding the ground repeatedly.

"Ahhhhhh—"

"How could the Clear Sky Sect have birthed a beast like you!"

To think he would threaten to make all of humanity pay the price for a single demoness!

The power of his madness for love was truly terrifying.

Even Tang Yuehua had not expected that the brother she secretly loved would say such things.

If only he could say those words to her!

Then, Tang Hao picked up Ah Yin and said one last time to the elders: "Uncles, eldest brother, little sister, we are leaving. No matter how this world treats us, we will have no regrets. Ah Yin and I will be together forever. In the end, I still hope to receive your blessings!"

"Bah! You beast, you want our blessings? Go eat dung!" Tang Lie's emotions remained the most volatile.

The other elders wore expressions of disappointment and agony, mixed with immense fury.

"Get out! All of you, get out of my sight!"

"Get lost! If you have the guts, just kill us all!"

"Brother Hao, you are truly disappointing."

"Brother Hao..."

Looking at the faces of his own kin, then down at the girl in his arms, Tang Hao still defied his ancestors to make his choice, choosing the girl in his arms.

With an expression of absolute lack of regret, he strode away with large, swift steps.

He left behind a mess of Clear Sky Sect disciples.

Tang Lie let out a long howl toward the sky: "Heavens! What exactly has my Clear Sky Sect done to deserve birthing this heaven-defying beast!"

The other elders likewise questioned the heavens, lamenting how a descendant with the potential to surpass Sect Master Tang Chen had embarked on a path of betraying his masters and ancestors.

They had originally thought that as long as they pretended to imprison Ah Yin, there would be no issue when the time came to use her as a spirit ring and spirit bone, but Tang Hao's brain seemed to have been kicked by a donkey; he wouldn't listen to reason and even struck out lethally against their Clear Sky Sect.

The Second Elder stood up and said in a loud, sorrowful voice: "Father, do you see this? Your grandson has gone mad, and we are no match for him. We do not know how much more harm he will bring to the Clear Sky Sect. If you are still alive, please, answer your descendants."

Tang Chen, already parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King, could not hear his words at all.
