Soul Bone Secured, Absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Becoming Mortal Enemies (1 / 2)

Huo Yuhao wasted no words. At his signal, all four of his Soul Douluo subordinates released their martial souls and charged at Tang Hao.

The five men were soon locked in combat. But even a starving camel was bigger than a horse. Tang Hao swung his terrifying Clear Sky Hammer, and despite his grievous injuries, he still held his ground.

His defeat, however, was only a matter of time.

"You mongrels of Spirit Hall! I, Tang Hao, will never share the sky with you!" Tang Hao roared, bringing his hammer crashing down again.

Under ordinary circumstances, even before becoming a Titled Douluo, he would never have given these four ordinary Soul Douluos a second thought.

After all, he possessed not only soul bones and the Clear Sky Hammer, but also the Divine Slaughter's Domain.

Today, he truly was a tiger brought down to the plains and bullied by dogs.

Not only was he gravely wounded, but he also had to protect the child in his arms. After a fierce exchange, he gradually began losing ground.

At that moment, to prevent Tang Hao from staking his life on a desperate burst of power, Huo Yuhao quickly spoke up. "Tang Hao, I have no intention of taking your life or your son's right now. All I want is that hundred-thousand-year soul bone in your possession."

"Your wife has already sacrificed herself for you and become your soul ring. She surely wouldn't want you and your child to die here either. Call me despicable and shameless if you like; I won't object. But even if you won't think of yourself, you should at least think of the Blue Silver Emperor's child."

"She sacrificed herself to keep you alive. I don't think losing your lives here over a mere lifeless object is worth it. My reinforcements will arrive in half an hour. You can weigh your options carefully until then."

Sure enough, once Huo Yuhao said this, Tang Hao's movements did not stop, but the hesitation on his face was unmistakable.

After fighting for another ten-odd minutes, Tang Hao gave Huo Yuhao a long, piercing look, burning his appearance into his memory. Then he placed the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year right leg bone on the ground and fled into the distance.

He did not know whether the reinforcements Huo Yuhao had mentioned actually existed. He only knew that he could not gamble, nor could he afford to.

Abandoning the bone and fleeing was the only path to survival for him and the child in his arms. But he swore that he would kill Huo Yuhao and reclaim his wife's soul bone.

At this moment, Tang Hao did not know that Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin's seed was inside the soul bone. Had he known, he would probably have tossed aside Tang San and fled with the seed in his arms.

After all, he loved his wife more than his own child.

Huo Yuhao also kept his word. He had said he wanted only the soul bone, and the soul bone was all he took.

The instant Tang Hao set down the soul bone, Huo Yuhao's four Soul Douluo subordinates stopped fighting. They remained where they were, silently watching Tang San leave.

Looking at the bloodstained hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone on the ground, Huo Yuhao felt a trace of admiration for the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor.

He could understand the Blue Silver Emperor's feelings very well, and he knew why she had made that decision.

He, too, had a mother just as great. To shelter him and let him grow strong, his mother had willingly burned herself away to light the path of Huo Yuhao's growth.

The Blue Silver Emperor deserved respect, but he would not hand out his kindness indiscriminately. His own reality was just as tragic, and he had no right to pity anyone.

If he wanted to grow stronger, if he wanted to obtain power, he could only harden his heart and use whatever means necessary.

Ever since transmigrating here, Huo Yuhao had constantly reminded himself that this was not his world. He did not belong here, and nothing here held any meaning for him.

He only needed to climb to the very top, step by step, become the strongest, complete his mission, and leave this world.

That was what he had to do.

As he picked up the hundred-thousand-year right leg bone brimming with life energy, delight spread across Huo Yuhao's face.

And he was not the only one. Greed also appeared on the faces of his four subordinates.

After all, this was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, a supreme treasure of the Soul Master World. If they could obtain it, they would certainly be able to become Titled Douluos in the future.

But their greed surfaced for only an instant before immediately disappearing.

Their entire families were under the Elder Hall's control. Their immediate relatives in particular-their parents, wives, and children-were all firmly in Golden Crocodile Douluo's grasp.

Qian Daoliu disdained doing such things, but Golden Crocodile Douluo was not so principled.

Huo Yuhao was his disciple, so naturally, he made sure every angle was covered.

Huo Yuhao knew this as well. That was why he felt so comfortable taking the four of them along on this mission. He was not worried in the slightest that they would betray him.

"The Blue Silver Emperor's seed?"

As Huo Yuhao prepared to absorb the soul bone, he spotted a bloodstained seed in one of its crevices.

He could not help marveling at the strength of life. "It really does live up to that skill, 'Wildfire cannot burn it all away; with the spring breeze, it grows again.' Even after its body dies, it can turn back into a seed. Blue silver grass isn't quite as weak a life-form as I imagined."

He wiped the blood off the seed, then carefully put it away.

He happened to be heading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well soon, so he could plant it there. It would take little effort and serve as repayment, too.

Once everything was taken care of, Huo Yuhao immediately sat cross-legged and placed the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year right leg bone against his own right leg. He released both his six-winged angel martial soul and his Glazed Divine Fire Eyes martial soul.

Powerful fluctuations of soul power and sacred power emanated from him. He wrapped the soul bone in soul power and slowly drew it into his body.

The moment the soul bone entered him, a terrifying torrent of soul power poured forth, sweeping from his right leg through his entire body.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly guided this immense soul power through his two martial souls, then circulated his Meditation Technique to channel it and make it his own.

The sheer power of hundred-thousand-year soul bones was what made them supreme treasures of the Soul Master World.

With his current capacity, absorbing a hundred-thousand-year soul bone would indeed have been a struggle. But the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year soul bone was different.

The Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year soul bone contained abundant life energy. Even if it severely damaged his body upon entering it, that powerful vitality would immediately repair the damage.

Moreover, the Blue Silver Emperor's soul power was exceedingly gentle. Once inside his body, it did not rampage about, allowing him to quickly absorb and fully convert it.

As Huo Yuhao absorbed the soul bone, his body alternated between red and blue, steam rising from him.

Soon, however, he adapted to the rhythm. Two hours later, he successfully absorbed the soul bone, just as he had hoped.

Huo Yuhao gave a light hop. He felt much lighter, and if he jumped high enough, he could even remain suspended in the air briefly.

This was an innate ability granted by the hundred-thousand-year leg bone. A leg soul bone was clearly meant to improve speed, so such an ability was hardly surprising.

What Huo Yuhao looked forward to most, however, was that skill of the hundred-thousand-year soul bone: Wildfire cannot burn it all away; with the spring breeze, it grows again.

Now that he had this soul bone, he could venture beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without worry.

But a glint of ferocity and killing intent once again surfaced in his eyes!

After absorbing this soul bone, he and Tang Hao and his son had become enemies who would not rest until the other side was dead. Even if he did not seek them out, Tang Hao and Tang San would come to kill him.

Fate truly was a wondrous thing!
