Is There Not Always a Way Out?!!!

The Three Realms Sky Screen continued.

The moment Tang San returned to the Douluo I Era, Qian Daoliu appeared before him with Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo and a host of Soul Masters.

Tang San's expression turned bitter and his face went pale. A terrible premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Huo Yuhao, that bastard! Why did he have to do this?"

"I never touched his mother! Why the hell is he so fixated on me?"

"What good would my death do him? Would it make him a god on the spot?"

A deathly silence fell over Shrek Academy. Flender and Zhao Wuji trembled from head to toe.

Tang Hao concealed his aura, ready to take Tang San and Xiao Wu and fight his way out at any moment.

As for everyone else, what did they have to do with him?

And why bring Xiao Wu? What a joke. She was the reserve Soul Ring he had chosen for his son.

Just as everyone thought Tang San was about to die at the hands of Qian Daoliu and the Spirit Hall forces—

A man in his seventies or eighties stepped in front of Tang San. Dressed in a black cotton coat, with a scraggly beard and graying hair, he was so unsteady that he needed a cane just to stand.

"T-Teacher!"

Yu Xiaogang said nothing. His clouded eyes swept the surroundings, desperately searching for the person he wanted to see.

But after having years of his life deducted several times, his aged eyes were too dim to make anything out.

So he gave up looking.

"Bibi Dong! If anyone from Spirit Hall dares hurt my disciple Tang San, I'll stop at nothing to destroy Spirit Hall!"

Tang San was stunned. Everyone across the Three Realms was stunned.

"Wait, Teacher, if you have some ultimate move, use it already!"

"And why are you threatening Bibi Dong?"

"She doesn't even seem to be here!"

At Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang's legs shook uncontrollably. The pressure bearing down on him made him wet himself.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? I have a connection with Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's Pope. I was going to ask her to do me a favor, and now you're telling me she isn't here?"

Hmph!

A colossal Angel Phantom slowly appeared in the sky.

"Tang San, today... you die!"

Hum!

Golden light pierced the darkness in an instant.

"Xiaogang... no... don't!"

Bibi Dong arrived a step too late. At the sight, her eyes nearly split with anguish.

"Clear Sky True Body!"

"Clear Sky Body Protection!"

Just before Qian Daoliu's attack landed, a gigantic figure appeared.

The enormous Clear Sky Hammer shattered. Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply.

"Ah Yin, let me just—"

Before Tang Hao could finish, Qian Daoliu struck with a single swift slash.

Hum—bang!

Tang Hao's right leg exploded, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Dad!"

"Can anyone save us? When I become Sea God Tang San, I'll repay you a hundredfold!"

[Douluo II, Undead Saint Son Huo Yuhao: "Anyone who believes that line is in for a lifetime of regret."]

Hum!

Just as Qian Daoliu was about to kill Tang Hao and Tang San had sunk into utter despair, a dazzling blue divine light burst from Tang San's body.

Hum!

The next instant, Soul Masters came pouring in from the direction of the sea, the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and every side of Shrek Academy, so many they blotted out the ground.

"Enough, Qian Daoliu! Stop! I'll make Tang San swear not to lay a hand on the Angel God—"

Sensing the Sea God's Light on Tang San, Bo Saixi, who had still been hesitating, acted without another thought.

But Qian Daoliu's eyes were bloodred. This time, he no longer believed her.

"If you all insist on helping Tang San, then I'll challenge the entire continent alone!"

"Ninth Soul Skill: Angel's Breath!"

Hum!

Countless golden feathers fell from the sky. Anyone they touched was instantly engulfed in golden flames.

Bo Saixi was aghast.

"Qian Daoliu, have you gone mad?"

"I already said I'd make sure Tang San never attacks your granddaughter again! What more do you want?"

"I'll even make Tang San apologize to you. Will that do?"

Furious beyond reason, Qian Daoliu plunged into a frenzy. His eyes bloodred, he killed several Titled Douluo from Sea God Island with a single slash, then pointed his blade at Bo Saixi.

"Xue'er's Angel Godhood has shattered. I no longer care who's right or wrong. Tang San dies today!"

Elsewhere—

(In the Douluo II Era, the Peerless Era)

Huo Yuhao returned. Watching the changes on the Sky Screen, he felt wave after wave of excitement rise within him.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Qian Daoliu, destroy them! You have my full support!"

Gu Quan and Fang Yuan hurried over.

"Boss, we did as you ordered. Nothing living was left in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. We dug three feet down—even the earthworms were pulled out, stood upright, and chopped in half."

"The Star Luo Empire sent some Titled Douluo whose title started with 'Giant.' Our leader sent him spinning like a top with one slap, and he slunk away like a dog."

Huo Yuhao nodded and cast one reluctant glance at the Sky Screen.

"Let's not get greedy. Prepare to leave."

Huo Yuhao had not forgotten what Tang San had said on the Sky Screen.

He was not sure whether anyone else would be incited, but Shrek would certainly come after him.

"You've killed people and shown off, and now you think you can just dust yourself off and leave?"

"Huo Yuhao, what kind of world lets you get away with that?"

"Repent for what you've done today!"

From the direction of the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace, the auras of dozens of Titled Douluo came hurtling toward them.

From the Heaven Dou Empire and the Dou Ling Empire came another offer.

"Huo Yuhao, join us. We can treat this as a mistake you made in your youth and let the Evil Soul Master business go!"

From Shrek's direction, Xuan Zi led several Super Douluo and nearly ten Titled Douluo racing toward them.

"Huo Yuhao, rejoin Shrek, and Shrek Academy can pretend none of this ever happened!"

"Lay down your blade, and Shrek will make you the Saint Son of the Sea God Pavilion!"

"Huo Yuhao, stop being an Evil Soul Master. Turn back before it's too late!"

In the blink of an eye, nearly forty Titled Douluo from four factions had surrounded the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

On the Three Realms Sky Screen—

"Look, everyone! Fighting has broken out in the Douluo II Era too! Huo Yuhao's surrounded by more than forty Titled Douluo!"

"Damn, the Titled Douluo hunting Huo Yuhao in Douluo II outnumber the ones hunting Tang San!"

"Could Sea God Tang San of the first generation and Huo Yuhao, the Second-Generation Child of Destiny, both fall today, leaving Dragon-God-Form Tang Wulin of the third generation the last one standing?"

In the Douluo III Era, the Dragon King Era—

The sky suddenly darkened. The next instant, a dense swarm of Level Nine Soul-Guide Shells flew toward Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin stared up at the countless Level Nine Soul-Guide Shells, his face pale.

"Wait, I'm caught up in this too?"

"I haven't even done anything!"

Inside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion—

"It's over! It's over! The boss is going down!"

"Boss, there are more than forty Titled Douluo. Our leader brought fewer than half that many titled elders and Consecrators. Is there really no way out this time?"

Faced with Gu Quan and Fang Yuan's terror, Huo Yuhao gave a cold laugh. Dazzling bloodred light burst from his eyes.

"No way out?"

"Haven't you heard that heaven never leaves anyone without a way out? If I want to leave, the road will be right beneath my feet!"

"Heh... hahahaha! Soul-Tethered Dreams, Winds and Clouds Roil...!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Huo Yuhao revealed every last card he had. The undead of one thousand Soul Kings, twenty Soul Emperors, two Soul Douluo, and one Titled Douluo appeared at once. (Most had been added after the Corpse Explosion, during the slaughter at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.)
