"You're Qin Jiuxiao, the one who bullied Tang San and tricked Xiao Wu away?"
Tang Hao's voice was low, carrying an invisible pressure.
Qin Jiuxiao shielded Xiao Wu behind him and let out a light laugh.
"So it is Clear Sky Douluo himself. I've long admired your name."
"I admit that I bullied Tang San, but Xiao Wu wasn't tricked away by me. She saw through your son's hypocrisy and turned back from her misguided path."
"And you, a Titled Douluo, schemed against a young girl with no experience in the world. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Or perhaps, after you schemed against Ah Yin back then, that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring got added to your thick skin."
"You clearly saw through Xiao Wu's identity, yet you still put on an act."
Those sharp words seemed to pierce through a secret Tang Hao had hidden in the deepest depths of his heart.
His pupils shrank, and killing intent instantly filled the air.
Even his elder brother had not known of his plan back then. How could Qin Jiuxiao know?
This boy could not be allowed to live!
Though he had hidden his identity across the continent, the prestige of Clear Sky Douluo had still made him an idol to many young people.
If his schemes from back then were exposed, what would become of his reputation as Clear Sky Douluo?
In an instant.
Tang Hao no longer concealed his killing intent. Nine Soul Rings circled around him as a hammer slammed down beside his feet with a boom.
The ground instantly split with countless cracks, showing just how heavy that hammer was.
"Since you know, all of you will die here today."
"And this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was prepared for Tang San. I'll be taking her with me as well."
Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale, and the last trace of hope she held toward Tang San was completely extinguished.
His father really was a Titled Douluo.
And all these years, he had been deceiving her.
Looking at Qin Jiuxiao standing in front of her, Xiao Wu felt conflicted, but that feeling soon transformed into firm resolve.
Sure enough, only her own kind would never deceive her.
From now on, she belonged to Qin Jiuxiao.
Whatever he told her to do, she would do it without defying him.
Ning Rongrong looked at the murderous Tang Hao. She had once heard the tales of this continent's youngest Titled Douluo.
She had even admired him somewhat.
Now that she knew the truth, every bit of that admiration had shattered.
This man was simply disgustingly hypocritical.
"Tang Hao, if you dare harm even a hair on anyone here, my father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone will never let you off."
"You will also become a mortal enemy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Upon hearing the titles of Sword and Bone Douluo, Tang Hao looked toward Ning Rongrong, who had spoken.
She held a communications tool unique to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, ready to send word out at any moment.
He had not expected there to be a little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect here.
He might not fear either of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Titled Douluo alone, but together, they were not opponents he could defeat.
"The Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire feels the same."
Zhu Zhuqing and her sister spoke up, standing beside Qin Jiuxiao without retreating in the slightest.
Tang Hao stared darkly at the group. He had not expected all of them to have such extraordinary backgrounds.
Once he touched these people, the entire continent would likely list him as someone to be killed.
Even the Clear Sky Sect would be unable to protect him.
But he quickly made up his mind. Qin Jiuxiao had to die today.
Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire hunted him down, the continent was vast enough for him to escape.
If worse came to worst, he could go to Slaughter City or Sea God Island.
Unless Spirit Hall mobilized all its forces, no one could capture him in those places.
As long as he killed everyone here today, no one would know Tang San was his son.
As a Titled Douluo, wouldn't he be free to roam the continent as he pleased?
Tang Hao gripped the hammer's handle and instantly vanished from where he stood.
"First Soul Skill: Titan Hammer!"
He suddenly appeared before Qin Jiuxiao, and the Clear Sky Hammer crashed down fiercely.
"Young Master Qin, be careful!"
Zhu Zhuqing and the others cried out in warning.
Zi JI was just about to act when Qin Jiuxiao gave her a look.
Then, four Soul Rings emerged.
Black, black, black, black!
Heavenly Horned Ant, Thunder Emperor, Kunpeng, Qilin.
Four phantom figures roared toward the sky, and a shockwave burst outward, even sending Tang Hao flying back.
"Four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!!!"
Tang Hao's hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer trembled. He was shocked beyond measure.
He had never seen anyone at such an age possess this kind of Soul Ring configuration.
Calling him a youthful deity would not have been an exaggeration.
"No wonder Tang San was no match for you. You're such a monstrous genius."
Tang Hao felt some regret.
Had he known Qin Jiuxiao possessed such a Soul Ring configuration, he would have made Tang San befriend him no matter what.
So what if he had given Xiao Wu to him?
Someone like this would surely become one of the strongest figures on the Douluo Continent in the future.
If they had befriended him, what would there have been to fear from Spirit Hall?
"Since we are enemies now, I cannot allow you to live!"
"Fortunately, I came personally today. Otherwise, if I gave you a few more years, wouldn't even I become no match for you?"
Tang Hao was incomparably grateful.
Then the nine Soul Rings around him lit up. He had no intention of holding back.
"Pierce Technique."
He swung the Clear Sky Hammer and unleashed the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique, the Nine Absolutes of Haotian.
This move had been created by Tang Chen, the ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect. Its power was unmatched, stronger than the Soul Skills of ordinary Soul Masters.
It could also shift between different forms at any time according to the battle, making it the greatest secret technique beneath God Level.
Very few people in the Clear Sky Sect were qualified to learn such a secret technique.
Qin Jiuxiao watched the incoming Clear Sky Hammer, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
The four Ferocious Beast phantoms turned into spheres of light and merged into his body. His skin began to emit a faint golden glow, secret patterns flowing across it. His long hair danced behind him as lightning raged around him.
A pair of golden wings also grew from his back. With a gentle flap, wind and clouds churned.
Meanwhile, the Qilin transformed into a seven-colored halo that surrounded his body, enhancing his combat power to its peak.
"Good!"
"First Soul Skill: Ultimate Power!"
As Qin Jiuxiao activated his First Soul Skill, the strength throughout his body doubled once more, and his flesh became even more formidable.
Facing the Clear Sky Hammer, he beat his wings and soared into the air, throwing a punch upward.
Boom!
Fist and hammer collided, and a devastating shockwave swept in every direction.
Experts throughout the Heaven Dou Empire sensed the aftermath of that impact.
The imperial palace, Sunset Forest, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked toward Suotuo City from afar, while Ning Fengzhi's expression turned solemn.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, that was a Titled Douluo-level battle, wasn't it? Can you tell who it was?"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance. Chen Xin slowly said,
"If my senses are correct, one of those auras resembles that brat Tang Hao from the Clear Sky Sect."
"The other one is unfamiliar, but anyone who can fight him is certainly no weakling. They must also be at the level of a Titled Douluo, though I don't know who it is."
Ning Fengzhi pondered intently. Could Spirit Hall have discovered Tang Hao's whereabouts and started a fierce battle over there?
Gu Rong spoke with some concern.
"Rongrong seems to be in Suotuo City, doesn't she? Could the battle affect her? Should we bring Rongrong back first?"
Chen Xin seemed to share the same thought and looked toward Ning Fengzhi as well.
Just as Ning Fengzhi was still hesitating, the communications tool at his waist lit up.
It was the emergency contact method between him and Ning Rongrong. It would never be used unless she was in danger.
The expressions of all three men changed drastically, and they immediately poured Soul Power into it.
The next moment, Ning Rongrong's anxious voice came through.
"Father, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Tang Hao wants to kill us! Come save us quickly!"
