Breath of the Angel

Tang San had wanted to take Yu Xiaogang with them as well and called out, "Dad..."

"He'll be fine. We have to leave Spirit City immediately."

However, just as father and son stepped out of the prison, they heard Qian Daoliu's voice.

"Tang Hao, where do you think you're going? Back then, I spared you out of consideration for Tang Chen. Yet today, you still dared to come to Spirit City. It seems that neither you nor your Clear Sky Sect has any gratitude for my mercy."

"Qian Daoliu..."

Tang Hao's heart sank to rock bottom. He truly had not expected Qian Daoliu to appear here in person.

He whispered something to Tang San. Qian Daoliu might not have heard it clearly, but Lan Yu did.

Tang Hao told Tang San where the Blue Silver Forest was. If he could escape Spirit City, he was to go there.

After giving Tang San his instructions, Tang Hao took out the Clear Sky Hammer and faced Qian Daoliu head-on.

Tang Hao had lost a leg by now, and his strength was inferior even to that of an ordinary Titled Douluo. Even if he risked his life, he could achieve little—unless the Asura God gave him another cheat.

"Tang Hao, what? In that state, you still want to test yourself against me?"

"Hmph! Great-Grandfather Tang Chen could defeat you, so why wouldn't I dare to try?"

"That old bastard Tang Chen beat me by one move, and it actually became something your Clear Sky Sect bragged about. Ridiculous. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish today."

Qian Daoliu came to a realization. The courtesy he had shown Tang Chen had not earned him equal respect, but the Clear Sky Sect's contempt.

The Clear Sky Sect was nothing but a pack of ingrates. Crush them beneath your feet and they thought you were formidable; treat them with courtesy, and they would only push their luck.

"Little San, watch this move carefully. This is your only chance. Ring Detonation!"

Tang Hao truly was risking his life, but he still could not detonate all nine rings. After detonating seven, his body had already begun to collapse.

"Great... Clear Sky... Hammer!"

Bathed in blood, Tang Hao shouted the name of the technique.

Seeing the Great Clear Sky Hammer again, Qian Daoliu was filled with emotion.

"Sigh... Ninth Soul Skill: Breath of the Angel!"

Qian Daoliu also unleashed his strongest ninth soul skill, Breath of the Angel.

A colossal golden phantom of the Angel God appeared, clearly visible even from the Worship Hall.

"Big Brother actually used that move. That's rare!"

Bibi Dong was even more worried. Unable to care about anything else, she insisted on going over.

At that moment, Qian Renxue emerged with the other worshippers from the Worship Hall.

"Bibi Dong, until Grandpa returns, you are not going anywhere."

"Qian Renxue, who gave you the nerve to call me by name?"

Qian Renxue did not answer. She merely summoned her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, while the other worshippers summoned their martial souls as well and surrounded Bibi Dong.

The moment Bibi Dong made any unusual move, she would inevitably be attacked from all sides.

"Fine! Fine! Fine! You're all very good!"

Bibi Dong felt incomparably stifled, yet there was nothing she could do.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao had already swung the Great Clear Sky Hammer with all his strength, smashing it toward the angel phantom.

However, intense holy light engulfed him. Not only was the Great Clear Sky Hammer technique instantly shattered, but his entire body gradually vaporized and vanished within the light.

Tang Hao should have been dead beyond any doubt. Tang San witnessed the entire scene, and his eyes were now filled with hatred.

But he understood that escaping was the most important thing now. He could not waste the opportunity Tang Hao had created for him.

Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San ran faster than he ever had in his life. But in Qian Daoliu's eyes, Tang San's desperate struggle was meaningless.

"You... cannot be allowed to live!"

Qian Daoliu raised a hand and pointed, sending a beam of light straight toward Tang San.

Yet to Qian Daoliu's surprise, a blood-red barrier appeared and blocked his attack. Then a blood-red vortex swept Tang San inside.

"That was the aura of a god! Could it be that Tang Chen truly found the opportunity to become a god?"

This unexpected incident gave Qian Daoliu an added sense of urgency.

Lan Yu, meanwhile, was determining Tang San's location. He had not merely been watching the show. The Mycelium Network had spread out, and Tang San had unknowingly been contaminated by mycelium long ago.

"That teleportation sent him quite far. That bloody, ominous aura most likely came from there—the Capital of Slaughter. Is the Asura God planning to train Tang San as his successor ahead of time?"

Once he confirmed that Tang San had been sent to the Capital of Slaughter, Lan Yu did not give it any further thought.

In a place like the Capital of Slaughter, the two sides would not cross paths again anytime soon.

Lan Yu glanced once more at where Tang Hao had vanished and sighed. "Breath of the Angel really is powerful. It did not even leave behind a soul bone. Did he use divine power? Surely not..."

After sighing, Lan Yu went back to sleep. Qian Daoliu glanced in the direction Lan Yu had left. Lan Yu had not deliberately concealed himself, so it was only natural that Qian Daoliu had noticed him.

"Come to think of it, I was used by him as well. What a frightening child.

The matter of the Angel God inheritance can no longer be delayed. Xiao Xue, don't blame Grandpa."

With that, Qian Daoliu flashed back to the Worship Hall, only to find Bibi Dong surrounded by the worshippers.

"What is going on?"

"Big Brother!" *6

"Grandpa!"

"What did you do to Xiaogang?"

The moment Qian Daoliu heard Bibi Dong blurt those words out, his expression turned even colder.

"You are still thinking about that piece of trash, Bibi Dong? Have I been too lenient with you?

Let me make this clear today. If you dare go see that piece of trash, you can forget about remaining Pope.

You can try and see whether I, Qian Daoliu, can strip you of your position as Pope."

"You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Get back to your Pope Palace."

Qian Daoliu returned to the Worship Hall with the worshippers and Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue added one final sentence. "Take care of yourself."

With a bellyful of rage, Bibi Dong returned to the Pope Palace, only to discover that there was still a pile of Green Mushrooms inside.

"Ah..."

Driven completely mad with rage, Bibi Dong could only vent her anger on the decorations of the Pope Palace, smashing the entire place into a complete mess.

The Green Mushrooms were also Lan Yu's informants. Upon learning what she had done, he laughed. "That woman Bibi Dong really had it coming."

This matter was merely an interlude. The Soul Master Tournament continued.

Botanical Academy's opponent in the third round was also Star Luo Royal Academy.

In the previous round, Dai Weisi had clamored about taking Zhu Zhuqing back. Now, they happened to face each other.

Ning Rongrong smiled at Zhu Zhuqing. "So, do you want to give Dai Weisi—the one who shouted about taking you back—a thorough beating on the stage?"

"I will naturally give him a good beating."

Besides Dai Weisi, she also wanted to deal with her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, and vent her anger.

On the arena, as soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Dai Weisi unhesitatingly had Zhu Zhuyun cooperate with him to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hell White Tiger!" *2

Facing the Hell White Tiger formed from Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's fusion, Zhu Zhuqing showed no fear.

"Rongrong, support me!"

"No problem. Nine Treasures turn to Glazed Light: first, strength; second, speed; third, soul; fourth, defense!"
