Tang Hao and Qian Xunji stood in different positions, after all, so they viewed matters from vastly different angles and held vastly different ideas.
One represented the Clear Sky Sect, the other Spirit Hall, but the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall themselves were incomparable in many respects.
Simply put, it was a matter of having no just cause. Qian Xunji could openly and legitimately kill Tang Hao, but if Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji in return, then from the continent's perspective, it would mean overturning the natural order!
Hammer of Death...
Under this hammer, Qian Xunji might very well die!
When Tang Ritian, who had always stood tall and unyielding, realized this, he could not help but feel a trace of panic.
He was not afraid of offending Qian Xunji, nor did he care in the least about the opinions of the entire continent. But that did not mean he wanted to make an irreconcilable enemy of the Qian Family.
If Qian Xunji died here, at the hands of Tang Hao—the Clear Sky Douluo known to the world from this day onward—then the Clear Sky Sect...
Aside from the incident where he had enraged his old father to death over Ah Yin, how could Tang Hao, a ninety-nine-percent devoted sect lackey, possibly want to bring the colossal Spirit Hall down upon his sect because of a momentary impulse?
Especially when his grandfather Tang Chen's whereabouts were unknown, provoking that long-famous veteran Angel Douluo—
Qian Daoliu!
That was a burden the Clear Sky Sect could not bear.
However much Tang Hao regretted it now, once he had swung this hammer, there was no turning back.
All he could do was pray silently in his heart:
Qian Xunji, you'd better be tough enough to take a beating...
Don't really die!
It was ironic.
On the surface, he and Qian Xunji had fought as though they would not rest until one of them was dead. Yet when life and death truly hung in the balance, he began to hesitate instead.
As the saying went—
Events often developed beyond expectations, and things rarely went as one wished.
Boom!
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out as an incomparably massive black hammer crashed down from the sky. Strands of golden light vanished beneath it, and the Clear Sky Hammer smashed a huge crater straight into the earth.
After that strike, Tang Hao immediately withdrew his Clear Sky Hammer and used the explosive energy from Ring Explosion to flee at once. No one could stop him.
Whether Qian Xunji was dead or not, he could not stay any longer.
From now on, he would find some hidden village and lie low.
"Second Trial..."
The rat's figure swiftly disappeared.
He did not notice that just as he left the battlefield, the infant in his arms quietly opened his eyes slightly, a strange glimmer appearing within them.
At this moment.
Seeing this scene from the sky, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo knew they could not catch Tang Ritian while he was in his Ring Explosion state. Even if they did catch him, they might not be able to defeat him, so they did not pursue.
Perhaps the sight of Tang Ritian suddenly detonating all his Soul Rings and forcibly breaking the Polarity Stillness Domain had also left too deep an impression on them.
They descended to the ground without a word, panic in their hearts as they checked on His Holiness the Pope.
The result...
"Dead... dead?!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo had barely reached out to inspect him when a shrill, androgynous cry rang clearly across the battlefield.
"His Holiness the Pope..."
Ghost Douluo and the Spirit Hall personnel around them felt as if the sky were about to collapse.
The Angel Douluo, who had been displaying such overwhelming might just moments ago, had actually been beaten to death alive like this?!
Many Spirit Hall personnel found it unbelievable. But Ghost Douluo, who had always accompanied Chrysanthemum Douluo, knew very well how profound his old partner's knowledge of medicinal principles was.
Medicine and pharmacology went hand in hand. Since he had made that judgment, then His Holiness the Pope truly had...
Died!
After a stretch of dead silence.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo gave orders to the surrounding Spirit Hall personnel, then immediately carried Qian Xunji's corpse and flew at top speed toward Spirit City.
"The heavens are about to change..."
Almost at the same time.
Nuoding City.
A common household had just opened its door when they found an abandoned infant lying outside.
"Darling, we've never had a child. Since we met him by fate, why don't we adopt this child?"
The woman tugged at her husband's sleeve and persuaded him.
"This..."
The man looked somewhat hesitant.
"Look at those eyes of his. They're so beautiful. He'll definitely be extraordinary in the future!"
"...All right, then."
Star Luo Empire.
Star Luo City was caught in a stormy night.
A madam entered a small room with a maidservant after pushing open the door.
"Have you verified it?"
the madam asked.
The maidservant bowed slightly and nodded.
"That is correct. According to the empire's ancient records, combining Innate Double Pupils with an Innate Divine Bone that accelerates Soul Power cultivation can create an invincible supreme being!"
"I see..."
"Then it seems Mubai and Weisi are already destined to fight to the death in the future."
A look of sorrow appeared on the madam's face, and a hint of reluctance flashed through her eyes. Then she asked again:
"What is Tianfeng's position?"
"The foundation of a supreme being should be established as early as possible, so... preserve the elder, but leave the younger one a little chance."
The madam nodded slightly, unsurprised by this.
After all, Dai Mubai had yet to undergo Spirit Awakening, and everything was still unknown. In contrast, Dai Weisi, who supposedly possessed a "Supreme Bone," had already begun to stand out, displaying his extraordinary talent and earning the appreciation of Star Luo Great Emperor Dai Tianfeng.
As for the Second Prince...
There was nothing special about him, so there was no need to mention him.
Thus, the future conflict was bound to be between Third Prince Dai Mubai and First Prince Dai Weisi. Leaving both of them some room to maneuver also fit the Star Luo Empire's tradition of "raising venomous insects."
"Then gouge out one of his eyes."
Looking at the sleeping infant on the bed, a ruthless glint flashed through the madam's eyes as she spoke calmly, then she leisurely walked out.
Soon, several physicians entered the room.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's residence.
A handsome middle-aged man with a gentle and refined temperament was caring for his first wife, who was pregnant.
"Fengzhi, did you hear that? The little one is moving."
The beautiful woman spoke with a face full of happiness and maternal affection.
"I heard it."
The middle-aged man pressed his ear to his wife's swollen belly, then chuckled happily.
Neither of them knew that the baby still inside the womb was genuinely becoming somewhat impatient.
"Just when will I be able to get out?"
"This young lady wants to practice swordsmanship..."
"Sigh, I should hurry up and absorb this Innate Qi a few more times. I have a feeling it'll be soon..."
As the great era contended, countless stars surrounded the moon—
Let us return to the battlefield where Tang Hao and Qian Xunji had fought.
Watching Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo carry Qian Xunji's corpse away, Bibi Dong froze.
"Teacher..."
At that moment, her eyes reddened slightly.
She remembered all the kindness her teacher had shown her over the years. The resentment she had held because he had once forced Yu Xiaogang to leave Spirit City now vanished completely.
After all, his kindness toward her far outweighed their enmity. Even that "enmity," looking at it now, seemed to have been "somewhat" her own fault.
Bibi Dong suddenly felt incomparably conflicted, unable to put her feelings into words.
Wang Zhao saw all of it.
He could not help but stare blankly.
What the hell?
Bibi Dong was actually saddened by the death of the "Chamber Douluo"?!
Was this a distortion of human nature, or a moral collapse?
Bibi Dong...
Something was wrong with her.
Very wrong!
This was not Douluo at all!
Wang Zhao suddenly had a premonition.
The plot of this world seemed to be gradually heading into the unknown, even toward chaotic collapse.
The climax has temporarily come to an end. The next two or three chapters will settle things down a little, then it'll be time to deal with the Rat Sect.
