Tang San Beaten Until He Cried, "Dad, I Was Wrong"; Shi Hao Was About to Take A Yin and Present Her to the Willow Deity

Thinking of this, Tang San hurriedly covered his swollen, dog-like face and crouched down, pretending to cough up blood. In truth, he secretly activated his spiritual power and transmitted his voice to Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty, quickly unleash Phoenix Meteor Shower. I'll use the flames as cover to unleash the One Thousand and One Nights Hidden Weapon Technique again. With such dense attacks, even that strange fellow will have to spend some effort dealing with them. Then fly over immediately and take me away from here as fast as you can!"

Why was Tang San in such a hurry? Because he had remembered Shi Hao's threat from earlier.

"Call me Dad. Say, 'Dad, I was wrong,' or you won't leave here alive today."

To Tang San, this was an immense humiliation. He would rather die here than endure such disgrace.

After sensing Tang San's spiritual power, Ma Hongjun endured the pain in his face and stood up without hesitation. He knew the situation was critical and understood the responsibility on his shoulders.

He gathered all his strength and thrust his butt backward, assuming his unique fighting stance.

Ma Hongjun mobilized all his soul power, preparing to launch his final attack.

Soul power surged through his body, and his fifth black Soul Ring ignited in an instant.

The next second, he shot into the air like a cannonball. His figure spread like a phoenix unfurling its wings, imposing and magnificent.

"Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

With a long howl, Ma Hongjun spewed hundreds of streams of True Phoenix Flame from his body. They converged into a dazzling meteor shower—his strongest area-of-effect soul skill. Once unleashed, it could inflict an astonishingly devastating blow across a wide area.

The entire street was instantly covered by the Phoenix Meteor Shower. Blazing flames shone like meteors as they swept toward Shi Hao with an aura of destruction.

Facing the Phoenix Meteor Shower that filled the sky, Shi Hao showed no panic. He pretended to seriously dodge the flames, but in reality, he had been watching Tang San and his swollen dog-like face the entire time.

Shi Hao moved with effortless grace, easily dodging streams of True Phoenix Flame. His gaze remained fixed on Tang San. He had already guessed Tang San's next move.

He knew Tang San would definitely try to escape, so he deliberately exposed a tiny opening to lure him in.

Sure enough, Tang San seized the chance. While Shi Hao was dodging the Phoenix Meteor Shower, he decisively reached toward the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night at his waist.

Tang San's hands moved as swiftly as lightning, meticulously employing the One Thousand and One Nights Hidden Weapon Technique. His fingertips lightly brushed the concealed weapons, and in an instant, he hurled more than a hundred of them. Every shot was precisely aimed as it sped toward Shi Hao.

Tang San's hidden weapon technique was unique and masterful. More than a hundred concealed weapons traced beautiful arcs through the night sky, carrying fierce gusts of wind and covering an enormous area, completely enveloping Shi Hao.

The Phoenix Meteor Shower still raged on. Blazing phoenix flames interwove with the concealed weapons, creating waves of terrifying attacks. Tang San believed that such all-encompassing area attacks would be impossible for Shi Hao to evade, even with that bizarre movement technique. The attacks were simply too dense, leaving too little room to dodge.

However, Tang San had overlooked the power of the willow branch in Shi Hao's hand. Seeing Shi Hao flicker before his eyes like a golden streak of light, seemingly struggling to evade his One Thousand and One Nights Hidden Weapon Technique, Tang San could not help feeling smug again.

Tang San grinned triumphantly and hurriedly shouted, "Fatty!" His voice was full of confidence and urgency.

Hearing Tang San's shout, Ma Hongjun reacted instantly. He was already nearing exhaustion, yet he still forced the remaining soul power in his body into motion. His flaming wings instantly ignited like a roaring inferno, and with his final burst of strength, he shot toward Tang San.

Ma Hongjun flew out like a cannonball and arrived before Tang San in a flash. He bent down, wrapped a thick arm around Tang San's waist, and scooped him up.

Being picked up by Ma Hongjun, Tang San could not help feeling embarrassed. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and he could clearly smell Ma Hongjun's sweat and stench.

But thinking of how badly his left leg was injured and how he had lost the ability to fly, Tang San endured the intense discomfort.

He let Ma Hongjun hold him as the two rushed toward a distant lighthouse. That was where the Blacksmith's Association was located, and it was also where Tang San's hopes lay.

Tang San thought this would let them escape danger...

But was that really the case?

Obviously not.

Although Shi Hao felt that killing Tang San outright would be letting him off too easily, he certainly would not allow him to leave for free...

That's right. To Tang San and Ma Hongjun's surprise, after they had only flown several hundred meters, a golden light suddenly flashed forth, instantly overtaking them and shooting toward a building ahead.

The golden light was dazzling, like a golden meteor streaking through the night sky. Its sharp aura made one shudder.

When the golden light came to a stop, Shi Hao appeared in their field of vision once more. A faint mocking smile hung on his carefree face, while his white robe drifted in the darkness, as eerie and eye-catching as a ghost.

"What? He caught up that fast..."

Tang San cried out in shock, and all his earlier smugness vanished in an instant. He nearly wet himself on the spot. In his panic, he hurriedly slapped Ma Hongjun's butt and screamed, "Fatty, run that way! Hurry, faster, even faster..."

However, just as Tang San finished speaking, an invisible force struck at them.

That terrifying sword intent twisted even space itself, yet it had no visible form. That was what made it truly frightening.

Struck by the invisible force, Ma Hongjun could no longer hold on. His fat body shook violently as he rolled several times through the night sky while clutching Tang San. Then the two fell from the air, hitting the cold street one after another with two loud crashes.

"Ah..."

After falling from the sky, Tang San rolled several times across the icy ground. Sensing no movement around him, he endured the pain and hurriedly sat up, preparing to flee again.

But just as he sat up and straightened his back, he suddenly felt a hand stroking his dog-like head.

Since few people had ever stroked his head, Tang San actually found it rather comfortable.

He could not help saying,

"Fatty, looks like you weren't hurt too badly. Hurry, you..."

Tang San abruptly sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly turned around, only to meet Shi Hao's smiling face.

"Ah... no..."

At that moment, seeing Shi Hao was like seeing his father's grandfather. Tang San let out a wail and desperately tried to flee, only for Shi Hao to seize him by the hair.

That was right. After the Blue Silver Emperor awakened, Tang San's long blue hair had become quite thick, making it rather comfortable to grab.

In Shi Hao's eyes, tormenting Tang San after his Blue Silver Emperor awakening, now that he looked like a proper man, was far more satisfying than tormenting the younger Tang San.

And by now, A Yin was also close to being completely revived. Naturally, he had to take her, and then... well, they could talk about the future later...

Shi Hao grabbed Tang San's hair from behind and yanked him forward, saying coldly,

"Tang San, call me Dad. Say, 'Dad, I was wrong.' Do you think you can escape?"

Feeling the pain of his scalp tearing, Tang San, already at the end of his strength, hurriedly begged loudly.

"I'll say it... I'll say it. I'll say it now. Dad, please let go of me..."
