Lin Tian took half a step back.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man did not answer.
He took a few steps closer to Lin Tian, his tattered cloak swaying with him.
"Do you dislike Tang San?"
At the mention of that name, Lin Tian's pupils contracted slightly.
"Tang San?"
He studied the man before him again.
Disheveled hair.
A tattered cloak.
Unfathomable cultivation.
And his concern for Tang San.
A name quickly surfaced in Lin Tian's mind.
"You're Tang Hao?!"
Tang Hao halted.
The chill in his eyes surged.
The surrounding air grew heavy.
Terrifying killing intent poured from his body, locking firmly onto Lin Tian.
"You know me?"
Every muscle in Lin Tian's body instantly tensed.
He finally understood why this man had appeared here.
Tang Hao had always been hiding in the shadows, protecting Tang San.
Anyone who might threaten Tang San would be eliminated by Tang Hao.
He had just fallen out with everyone from Shrek Academy.
Before leaving, he had even mocked Yu Xiaogang in front of everyone.
Tang San could not possibly have let that go without resentment.
And at this very moment, he had awakened two god-tier martial souls.
Tang Hao must have sensed the martial soul phenomenon from earlier.
The man had pursued him not to ask for the truth.
Tang Hao is definitely going to kill me!
"How did you know my name?"
Tang Hao stared at Lin Tian.
His terrifying killing intent continued to spread.
The plants in the forest bent downward, while loose stones on the ground cracked one after another.
"Who is behind you?"
"Who told you?"
Lin Tian did not answer.
A chill shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Under the pressure of Tang Hao's killing intent, his body had already gone stiff.
A Titled Douluo.
And a Titled Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer.
He only had level-ten soul power now.
No matter what he said, if even one sentence displeased Tang Hao, he would die here.
Lin Tian rapidly considered a way to deal with this.
But the gap in their strength was simply too great.
Before absolute power, any scheme was useless.
I finally awakened the system.
Am I going to die here right after obtaining two god-tier martial souls?
Lin Tian secretly circulated his soul power.
He did not give up.
Even if there was only the slightest chance, he had to fight to the end.
Tang Hao waited for a moment, and the chill in his eyes grew denser.
"You don't want to answer?"
"No matter."
"Even if you answered, you still wouldn't escape death today."
Lin Tian looked up at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao raised his right hand.
Strands of black soul power gathered in his palm.
"You were expelled from Shrek Academy. You must resent them."
"That phenomenon just now also proved that your martial soul is anything but ordinary."
"You truly are a genius."
"Unfortunately, you and Xiao San have already become enemies."
Tang Hao slowly clenched his five fingers.
Overwhelming soul power erupted with a boom.
"Anything that could threaten my son must die."
Boom!
A massive pitch-black hammer appeared in Tang Hao's hand.
Its handle was long.
Its hammerhead was covered in dark golden patterns.
Nine soul rings rose one after another beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
When the final red soul ring appeared, the surrounding trees exploded one after another.
Crimson radiance illuminated the forest.
A 100,000-Year Soul Ring!
Lin Tian's breathing immediately grew heavy.
The power emanating from the Clear Sky Hammer made his bones and muscles crack softly.
This was only the pressure of the martial soul.
Tang Hao had not even truly attacked, yet he could already smell death.
"To deal with a level-ten soul master like me, you actually released the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Tang Hao, you really think highly of me."
Tang Hao did not respond.
He gripped the handle and slowly raised the Clear Sky Hammer.
The energy of heaven and earth surged wildly toward it.
The black hammerhead rapidly expanded in the wind.
In the blink of an eye, the Clear Sky Hammer had grown to dozens of meters in size.
Its enormous shadow completely engulfed Lin Tian.
"Die."
Tang Hao brought the hammer down.
Rumble!
The air was crushed apart by the immense force.
Wherever the Clear Sky Hammer passed, vast distortions appeared in space.
Lin Tian raised his head.
He knew perfectly well that, with his current strength, he could never block this strike.
But it was equally impossible for him to close his eyes and await death.
Lin Tian spread both hands at once.
Azure and black light erupted from his body.
His soul power surged wildly.
The Nine Nether Beast martial soul appeared first.
A massive beastly phantom stood behind Lin Tian, its savage wolf head raised high.
Nine enormous tails pierced through the forest.
An aura of destruction swept in every direction.
On the other side.
The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus slowly bloomed.
Azure divine light covered the earth as the powers of earth, water, fire, and wind flowed around its petals.
One gave life, one brought destruction.
Two utterly opposing powers manifested behind Lin Tian at the same time.
Tang Hao's expression changed.
He finally saw the martial souls that had caused the phenomenon.
Twin Martial Souls!
Moreover, the quality of both martial souls far surpassed the Clear Sky Hammer!
This child cannot be allowed to live!
Tang Hao exerted force through his arm.
The Clear Sky Hammer descended even faster.
Terrifying pressure crashed down from the sky.
Lin Tian's feet sank into the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Even so, he remained standing straight.
"Even if I die, I'll die standing!"
The Nine Nether Beast swung its enormous claw.
The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus scattered countless rays of divine light.
The two powers charged toward the Clear Sky Hammer at the same time.
Just as the two sides were about to collide.
The heavens suddenly lit up.
A blazing holy light pierced through the clouds and instantly struck the Clear Sky Hammer.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed through the forest.
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand was forcibly stopped.
Golden radiance continued to spread as the black soul power rapidly dissolved.
Lin Tian stood beneath the holy light.
The terrifying force that had pressed down on him vanished in an instant.
He lowered his head and looked over his body.
He was completely unharmed.
Tang Hao abruptly looked up.
"Who is it?!"
The clouds parted down the middle.
A figure slowly descended upon golden light.
The newcomer had a head full of white hair.
A luxurious golden robe fluttered in the wind.
Six massive wings spread wide behind him, every feather flowing with holy radiance.
Nine soul rings circled around his body.
That vast soul power completely enveloped the entire forest.
Seraphim!
Tang Hao recognized the figure.
His expression immediately turned grave.
"You are..."
"Qian Daoliu!"
Qian Daoliu ignored Tang Hao.
He landed before Lin Tian, his gaze passing over the Nine Nether Beast and the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
For the first time, an intense ripple appeared in eyes that had been calm for years.
With his knowledge, he could naturally see the terror of these two martial souls.
The destructive power emanating from that Nine-Tailed Behemoth actually made the Seraphim wary.
The life force contained within the Azure Lotus was even more boundless than the sea.
What kind of martial soul was this?
As Spirit Hall's Grand Attendant, Qian Daoliu had studied every tome on the continent.
Yet he had never seen either of these martial souls.
There was not even the slightest related record.
Lin Tian likewise looked at the elderly man in golden robes before him.
Qian Daoliu.
A level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo.
Spirit Hall's Grand Attendant.
That holy light just now had been Qian Daoliu's doing.
Tang Hao tightened his grip on the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Qian Daoliu, what is this brat to you?"
"Move aside."
"I'm going to kill him."
