"Who is that person?"
The Ice Empress clung to Zhu Huang like a koala as the two of them hid in the forest. Zhu Huang's spiritual power wrapped around them, and as long as they did not make a move, Tang Hao would never discover him, nor would he hear their conversation.
"That's Tang Hao."
Zhu Huang held the Ice Empress's pert little bottom, inhaled her fragrance, and said with a smile.
"Ah, so he's Tang Hao?"
A fierce glint appeared in the Ice Empress's eyes. She had long since learned everything that had happened between Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Empress, and she loathed this despicable, shameless heartbreaker from the bottom of her heart.
"If I beat him to death, will it affect anything?"
The Ice Empress asked in her soft, delicate voice. She also knew that Zhu Huang seemed to have some plans, which was why she asked like this.
Zhu Huang pondered and said, "Don't beat him to death for now. Tang Hao is only a small fry. He can be killed anytime later. The timing isn't right yet."
Tang Hao was Tang San's protector. Killing Tang Hao was very simple, but without Tang Hao as his protector, the Asura God would probably pay attention to Tang San more frequently. That would not be beneficial to Zhu Huang's plan.
With Tang Hao around, given Tang Hao's strength and background, the Asura God should be relatively at ease and would not pay too much attention to Tang San—at least in the early stages.
And with one day in the God Realm equaling one year in the lower realm, the pace of life for gods was slow as well. If even a little something happened, many years might already have passed in the lower realm.
As long as the Asura God did not frequently pay attention to Tang San in the early stages, then as long as he did not kill Tang San, he should not alarm him, which would make it convenient for him to do other things.
As for using schemes to get rid of Tang San while hiding himself behind the scenes, that was meaningless. As long as the Asura God existed, Tang San simply would not die. If this body of his were killed, he would probably possess another one.
At that time, if he hid in the dark, he would be even harder to control than now—unless he could annihilate even his soul in one go. But if he was the Asura God's alternate account, then even if Zhu Huang personally made a move, he simply would not be able to do that.
Of course, leaving Tang Hao his miserable little life was also because Tang Hao posed no threat to him whatsoever, and could even add a bit of amusement to watch. There was no need to rush to kill him.
"Then it's no problem if I beat him up to vent my anger, right?"
The Ice Empress did not want to let Tang Hao off. She was a woman too, and she had experienced how wonderful love felt. When she thought of the betrayal the Blue Silver Empress had suffered, she shared her hatred and was extremely disgusted by heartless men.
"That's fine. Just don't beat him to death."
"Then I'm going to beat him right now!" The Ice Empress waved her little fist.
"Go on, but don't do it inside Soul Hunting Forest. There are quite a few people and soul beasts inside, and it'd be easy to kill bystanders by mistake. Lure him to an uninhabited wilderness first."
"You can disguise yourself as someone from Spirit Hall and make Tang Hao go take revenge on Spirit Hall. They already have a grudge anyway."
"Hehe, watch me."
The Ice Empress climbed down from Zhu Huang and flew off into the distance. Midway, she transformed a black cloak over herself, concealing her petite, delicate figure and her face.
Tang Hao was leisurely following Yu Xiaogang and Tang San when a terrifying chill suddenly came from behind him. His heart tightened at once, and the hairs on his back stood on end.
He abruptly turned around and saw a figure approaching in the sky more than a dozen li away. The overwhelming aura it emitted proclaimed the newcomer's strength as a Title Douluo.
Tang Hao stared at that figure. Although he did not know whether they were friend or foe, no matter what, he did not want that person to see Tang San and risk learning of his relationship with him.
He immediately went up to meet that person. Only after flying out of Soul Hunting Forest's range and then another several li did the two sides meet in the air. Their vast auras confronted each other, and killing intent filled the world.
Tang Hao could now see that person clearly: a mysterious figure in a black cloak. This person was not especially tall and appeared somewhat slender. A faint fragrance drifted from them; it seemed to be a woman.
He looked back at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and seeing that their figures were no longer visible, he relaxed inwardly.
"Who are you?"
Tang Hao shouted angrily.
"Hmph, Tang Hao, I didn't expect to run into you here. You certainly know how to hide. You made our Spirit Hall search hard for you."
The Ice Empress pinched her throat, making her crisp, pleasant voice sound somewhat hoarse. "The debt for killing the Pope can finally be repaid today."
"Spirit Hall scum!"
Tang Hao's eyes turned bloodred at once. Mad hatred surged in them as he gnashed his teeth, his voice seeming to come from hell itself. "You killed my Ah Yin. I will never share the same sky with you. Since you dared to appear before me, then die!"
The enormous Clear Sky Hammer instantly appeared in his hand, and he smashed it fiercely toward the Ice Empress.
"Hmph, what big words. Today, I'll cut off your head and avenge His Holiness the Pope."
The Ice Empress casually waved her left hand, using only thirty percent of her strength. In the air, a pincer formed from ice of extreme cold slammed hard into the Clear Sky Hammer, blasting it away.
"You dare call yourself Clear Sky Douluo with that little bit of strength? Clear Sky Weakling is more like it," the Ice Empress mocked.
"This person's strength... Spirit Hall actually has such an expert?"
Tang Hao's expression changed. He was sent flying several hundred meters by the Clear Sky Hammer, and the hand gripping it seemed to have lost all feeling. Blood and qi churned inside him, and his face flushed red.
Without another word, he hurriedly flew rapidly into the distance.
On one hand, he felt that he might not be able to beat this person, and if he could shake her off, that would be best. On the other hand, he hoped to draw this person as far away from Tang San as possible, hiding the relationship between himself and Tang San even more deeply.
"Where do you think you're running?"
The Ice Empress had not expected that this so-called Clear Sky Douluo would start fleeing after just one move. She was filled with disdain, and also looked down on the Blue Silver Empress's judgment. She really had been blind—failing to see his character was one thing, but his strength was actually this pathetic too.
Her own judgment was still the best. The man she had found was tall, handsome, good in character, and strong in power. A hundred Tang Haos tied together could not compare to one finger of her man.
From afar, Zhu Huang watched the Ice Empress and Tang Hao vanish from sight in the blink of an eye, without worrying about the Ice Empress in the slightest.
The Ice Empress's current strength was equivalent to that of a rank ninety-eight Title Douluo, and she was even a powerhouse among rank ninety-eight Title Douluo, having touched the threshold of an Limit Douluo. A mere Tang Hao could not pose any threat to her at all.
If the Ice Empress had not wanted to play around, that move just now would have been enough to severely injure Tang Hao.
Zhu Huang chased in the direction Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had left. Before long, he spotted the master and disciple.
It was already night. What entered Zhu Huang's sight was Yu Xiaogang fleeing in a miserable panic, with a Datura Snake of three or four hundred years old frenziedly hunting him down from behind.
Yu Xiaogang had lost all sense of direction in his panic. He released Luo Sanpao, who let out several farts in a row, filling the area with shit-yellow smoke. Not only did it fail to knock the Datura Snake unconscious, it even enraged it, making its pursuit even more crazed.
"Luoluo!"
With a miserable cry, Luo Sanpao, who had been sent out to cover the rear, was bitten on the butt by the Datura Snake. He immediately screamed, turned into a streak of purple light, and flew back into Yu Xiaogang's body.
