Titled Douluo Revealed, Revenge on the Clear Sky Sect! Kill!

Tang Yuan spoke.

"Ever since this old man regained his cultivation, I have yet to truly make a move."

The old man looked at Tang Li.

"Since you came knocking on your own, I'll use you to test my current strength."

Tang Li retreated again and again.

The stone bricks beneath his feet cracked continuously under his steps.

"This is impossible."

He could not believe it.

More than two years ago, Tang Yuan had been an old man with shattered meridians and completely crippled cultivation.

Now, not only had the other man recovered his cultivation, he had directly become a level ninety-five Super Douluo.

Tang Li raised the Clear Sky Hammer, trying to resist the pressure bearing down on him.

Yet the moment his Soul Power began to circulate, it was completely suppressed by level ninety-five Soul Power.

Tang Yuan took a step forward.

"Tang Li."

"You just said that everyone here had to die today."

"Do you still dare say that now?"

Tang Li gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and stared at the nine Soul Rings blanketing the courtyard before him. His entire body went rigid.

Level ninety-five.

A Super Douluo.

The mere weight of that Soul Power upon his body made his Martial Soul tremble without end.

Tang Li forcibly activated his Soul Power, but the black light on the Clear Sky Hammer grew dimmer and dimmer.

"Hadn't you lost all your cultivation?"

"Your meridians and dantian were shattered long ago. How could you possibly recover?"

Tang Yuan sneered.

"Who told you that?"

The old man took another step forward.

Golden light blossomed from his body.

An enormous Golden-Clawed Bear appeared behind Tang Yuan.

Golden fur covered its entire body, and thick claws grew from its two bear paws.

After level ninety-five Soul Power poured into the Martial Soul, its five golden claws lit up at once.

Tang Li's pupils contracted.

"A Golden-Clawed Bear?"

Tang Yuan offered no explanation.

The Golden-Clawed Bear raised its right paw, mirroring the old man's movement.

The surrounding air rapidly gathered toward its palm.

Broken stones throughout the courtyard rose one after another, only to be crushed into powder by the pressure of Soul Power.

Tang Li had no time to think about the changes to the Martial Soul.

All seven Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up.

The seventh black Soul Ring released a vast swath of light.

"Seventh Soul Skill!"

"Haotian True Body!"

The pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer rapidly expanded in the wind.

The massive hammerhead rose into the air, nearly covering the entire courtyard.

Tang Li poured every last bit of Soul Power in his body into his Martial Soul.

He knew full well.

Against a level ninety-five Super Douluo, he had no chance of escape.

Only by blocking this strike could he fight for a sliver of survival.

"Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang Li gripped the hammer handle with both hands.

The Clear Sky Hammer spun once through the air.

Carrying immense Soul Power, the hammerhead smashed straight toward Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan raised his right hand.

"Golden Claw Mountain-Suppressing Palm."

His palm came down.

The Golden-Clawed Bear Martial Soul swung its massive paw at the same time.

The golden palm imprint crossed the courtyard and collided head-on with the Clear Sky Hammer.

Boom!

The courtyard walls collapsed on the spot.

Large slabs of bluestone were hurled outward.

The Clear Sky Hammer held on for only a single breath.

The golden palm imprint pressed down upon the hammerhead as the thick black light shattered without end.

The enormous hammer formed by the Martial Soul Avatar was forcibly torn apart by five golden claws.

Cracks spread rapidly.

The entire Clear Sky Hammer exploded apart.

Tang Li spat out a mouthful of blood.

His arms went numb, and his body was forced backward again and again by the crushing Soul Power.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Haotian Body Protection!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Black Mountain Barrier!"

Two Soul Rings erupted in succession.

A layer of black hammer shadows blocked the space before Tang Li.

A heavy barrier rose immediately afterward, completely shielding his body.

Tang Li still felt that it was not enough.

He took out a defensive Soul Tool and crushed it directly.

A blue light shield rapidly unfolded.

Three layers of defense stood before him at once.

Tang Li watched the golden palm imprint draw closer and closer, with nothing but fear left in his eyes.

"I am from the Clear Sky Sect!"

"If you kill me, the sect will never let you off!"

Tang Yuan did not withdraw his hand.

"The Clear Sky Sect has already sent people to hunt us down twice."

"Do I still need to care about a third time?"

The golden palm imprint descended once more.

The first layer of hammer shadows shattered in an instant.

The Black Mountain Barrier was immediately pierced by the five claws.

The moment the final blue light shield touched the palm imprint, cracks spread across its surface.

Bang!

The defense formed by the Soul Tool exploded completely.

Tang Li was exposed beneath the golden palm imprint.

He turned and tried to flee.

Level ninety-five Soul Power had long since sealed off the surroundings.

The moment his right foot lifted, his body was forced back into place.

"No!"

The golden palm imprint slammed down from above.

Tang Li's protective Soul Power dispersed first.

His bones, meridians, and flesh were crushed apart simultaneously by the immense force.

The ground sank with a thunderous crash.

The entire courtyard shook violently.

When the golden light faded, only a palm imprint several meters deep remained where he had stood.

Tang Li had vanished completely.

Not even a trace of that Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul remained.

Tang Yuan withdrew the Golden-Clawed Bear.

The nine Soul Rings merged back into his body.

The old man looked at his palm and nodded in satisfaction.

"The strength of level ninety-five is indeed much greater than before."

Tang Chen walked to the edge of the palm imprint.

He sensed the area carefully for a moment but found no trace of Tang Li's lingering aura.

A level seventy-one Soul Saint truly had no ability to resist before a level ninety-five Super Douluo.

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Tang Chen's side.

She glanced at the palm imprint in the ground, then at the collapsed courtyard walls.

"Tang Li was sent by the Clear Sky Sect."

"He died here. Sooner or later, the Clear Sky Sect will trace this back to you."

Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment.

"Aren't you afraid of trouble?"

Tang Chen withdrew his gaze.

"From the day the Clear Sky Sect drove my grandfather and me out of the sect, this trouble had already existed."

"Tang Ming wanted to kill us, and he died."

"Tang Li investigated us for over two years, and in the end, he died as well."

"If they continue sending people, the outcome will not change."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes to look at him.

"Are you planning to wait for them to make a move forever?"

"No."

Tang Chen looked in the direction of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Next, I am preparing to take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect."

"The expulsion back then."

"The pursuit and killing of these past years."

"And everything my parents and grandfather gave for the sect."

"It is time to settle all these debts."

Zhu Zhuqing did not try to dissuade him.

She stepped closer to Tang Chen, her slender hand gently taking hold of his wrist.

"Wherever you go, I will follow."

Tang Chen turned to look at her.

Zhu Zhuqing wore a black training outfit today.

Her sleeves were gathered at her wrists, and her long hair was tied back with a black ribbon.

The aftershock of Soul Power had blown several strands loose, and they rested against the side of her fair face.

Tang Chen raised a hand and tucked her hair back into place.

"The Clear Sky Sect is no ordinary force."

"When the time comes to truly act, stay somewhere safe."

Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head.

"I am no longer the girl from two years ago who could only run away."

"My strength may not be of much help, but I will not let you face this alone."

She stretched out her arms and gently embraced Tang Chen.

A faint fragrance drifted close.

Zhu Zhuqing pressed her face against his chest, her arms wrapping around his waist.

"Tang Chen, I do not want to be someone who can only be protected by you."

Tang Chen raised his hand and placed it on her back.

Through the soft fabric, he could feel Zhu Zhuqing's steady breathing.

"I know."

Zhu Zhuqing did not let go immediately.

She lifted her head slightly, leaving only a short distance between them.

Tang Chen's reflection appeared in her dark eyes.

"Then promise me."

"When you encounter danger, do not leave me behind alone."
