Tang Hao: How Dare Spirit Hall Bully My Son!

Deep within Sunset Forest, a rapidly running figure tore through the miasma of countless poisons and evils.

Tang San entered the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.

The scorching red Yang Spring and icy blue Yin Spring met at the center, sending up water mist that mingled bone-piercing cold with blazing heat.

On a stone platform beside the pool, Tang Hao sat cross-legged on one leg.

The sleeve on his right side hung empty, swaying feebly in the wind at the bottom of the valley.

Below his left knee remained only a mutilated, hideous scar.

The Clear Sky Douluo who had once shaken the entire continent and driven back three Titled Douluo with a single hammer strike—

Now wore a haggard, desolate expression, and the fluctuations of his soul power had fallen to the bottom at Rank 70.

He was so thin that he was little more than skin and bones.

He relied entirely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emitted by the immortal herbs around the springs to nourish him.

Hearing the heavy sound of Tang San landing—

The Blue Silver Emperor at the center emitted a gentle golden glow.

Its soft golden-and-silver vines rapidly stretched out.

Filled with endless motherly love and joy, the vines gently wrapped around Tang San's shoulders and wrists.

Ah Yin was using her instincts to comfort her son who had come from afar.

Xiao Wu, in her half-soul, half-flesh state, floated over from the edge of the pool.

Her beautiful eyes glittered with the delight of a long-awaited reunion.

Her delicate body pressed tightly against Tang San's chest.

"Third Brother!"

"You're finally back!"

Xiao Wu tightly wrapped both arms around Tang San's neck, pressing her little face into the hollow of his neck. Her voice was full of deep reliance and joy.

Tang San held Xiao Wu's slender body tightly, but his entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

He didn't respond to Xiao Wu's affectionate complaint.

The face that had once been handsome and resolute now held only endless pallor and ashes of despair.

Tang Hao slowly opened his cloudy old eyes.

When he saw his son's utterly lost appearance, like a dog without a home, his brow immediately furrowed deeply.

No one knew a son better than his father.

Tang San's temperament was exceptionally resilient and composed.

Unless something earth-shattering had happened, Tang San would never have come rushing to Sunset Forest at such a time.

"Little San."

Tang Hao's voice was hoarse, like two rusty iron plates scraping violently together.

"Something happened, didn't it?"

"Dad..." Tang San's throat was incomparably dry.

His legs gave out, and he fell to his knees on the wet mud.

It was as though every bone in his spine had been pulled away.

The Blue Silver vines wrapped around his arms sensed that something was wrong.

Ah Yin anxiously swayed her leaves, making soft rustling sounds.

It was as if she were asking in concern what had happened to her son.

"Dad..."

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San pursed his bleeding lips, his voice trembling with extreme suppression as he recounted the bloody, despairing defeat at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Shrek is completely finished."

"Heaven Dou City has been completely seized by Qian Renxue through iron-blooded means."

Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled.

The smile on her face froze.

Tang San closed his eyes, and two bloodshot tears slid down his pale cheeks.

"Dean Flender, and Teacher Zhao Wuji..."

"They were killed on the spot by Qian Renxue during the chaotic battle in Heaven Dou City while protecting everyone."

As soon as those words fell, the entire valley of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well became deathly silent.

Xiao Wu's pupils shrank sharply.

Her hands tightly clenched Tang San's clothes.

Tang San's voice choked up, every word filled with boundless hatred.

"Teacher was also crippled by Qian Renxue, who cut off his right leg."

"What about Godmother?" Xiao Wu asked anxiously.

Liu Erlong was her godmother.

At this point, Tang San's nails dug deeply into his palms, and blood dripped onto the dirt.

"Teacher Erlong rushed at Qian Renxue alone to buy us time to tear open a spatial rift and escape."

"Qian Renxue only used one sword strike."

"That blood-red Slaughter Sword... killed Teacher Erlong."

"No!"

Xiao Wu let out a shrill, piercing wail.

The immense joy of reunion had instantly plunged into the bottomless abyss of despair. The contrast nearly shattered her soul.

She knelt on the wet mud, frantically clawing at the stones on the ground until all ten fingers were dripping with blood.

Liu Erlong was the godmother who had truly loved her as if she were her own daughter!

Someone so alive, so fiery-tempered yet fiercely protective... had actually... actually died.

"Wuwuwu... Godmother Erlong!"

Xiao Wu wailed loudly, her tears falling like severed pearls and soaking the ground.

Extreme rage and hatred burned violently in her beautiful eyes.

"Qian Renxue!"

"You cruel, lawless madwoman!"

Xiao Wu ground her teeth to pieces and swore a venomous oath toward Heaven Dou City.

"I, Xiao Wu, swear that if I don't tear you into ten thousand pieces and avenge Godmother in this life, I'll cease to be human!"

Heavenly Dao: You... poet?

The Blue Silver Emperor's vines beside them seemed to sense Tang San and Xiao Wu's emotions as well, violently twitching.

Its golden leaves drooped one after another, releasing low cries of endless sorrow and rage.

The air currents around the once haggard and desolate Tang Hao began to surge wildly.

A bone-chilling killing intent burst from his cloudy old eyes.

"Qian Renxue?"

"Someone from Spirit Hall's Qian Clan?"

"She's merely a Rank 70 Soul Sage. How could she possibly kill Liu Erlong and the others?"

Tang San looked upward with great difficulty, his eyes filled with lingering fear and wariness.

"Dad, that Qian Renxue is unbelievably strange."

"She's not an ordinary Soul Sage at all."

"During the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, she turned into a terrifying monster, and her combat power soared to an absurd Titled Douluo level."

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Bone Douluo had his right arm cut off by her sword from afar while protecting Rongrong!"

"Even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, two powerful Titled Douluo working together, were forced back by her."

"Xue Ye the Great was beheaded by her in public, and Heaven Dou City changed rulers within a single day!"

Upon hearing this, the killing intent around Tang Hao nearly condensed into ice.

One sword strike had severed the arm of a Rank 95 defensive Titled Douluo?

She had forced Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, two Super Douluo, to retreat?

This had completely surpassed the understanding of soul masters across the continent!

Bang!

Tang Hao slapped the hard boulder beside him, reducing the massive rock to powder.

"Bullshit!"

"A little yellow-haired girl barely in her twenties couldn't possibly possess that kind of strength, even if she used every crooked and evil method available."

"Qian Daoliu, that old ghost, must have been helping her in secret!"

"Spirit Hall has quite the nerve!"

"You dared force my son, Tang Hao's son, into such a state. Do you really think this old man's Clear Sky Hammer can no longer be lifted?"

Tang Hao's voice boomed like a bell, his eyes filled with the arrogance and fury he had possessed when he smashed Papal Hall to pieces.

In his eyes, his son was an unparalleled genius of the present age.

For Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, a Peerless Douluo, to use such unreasonable power to oppress Tang San was the greatest insult to him, the Clear Sky Douluo.

"Dad!"

Tang San tightly grabbed Tang Hao's empty sleeve.

"We can't keep passively taking hits."

"Your injuries can be healed by using the immortal herbs of this Icefire Yin-Yang Well to reconnect your bones and restore you!"

"Once you recover your peak combat strength, return to the Clear Sky Sect at once and lead the sect elders out of seclusion. Spirit Hall will be nothing to fear!"

"As for me, I'll meet up with Boss Dai and the others in Star Luo. After that, I'll search for a way to completely revive Xiao Wu and Mom."

"The day you and I reunite will be the day Spirit Hall is destroyed!"

Tang Hao looked at the hatred and ambition blazing in his son's eyes, then nodded heavily. "Good!"

Dark clouds filled the sky.

Madness spread through the valley floor.

The flames of vengeance had been fully ignited, and an even greater storm was brewing.
