After Huo Yuhao said those words, a powerful aura immediately erupted from him. The Blood Angel Wings unfurled behind him, and countless bloodthirsty threads swept toward Tang San.
Tang San was only at rank thirty-five, while Huo Yuhao was a full rank ninety-five. He could not even withstand Huo Yuhao's most ordinary pressure, so how could he possibly evade his bloodthirsty threads?
In a single instant, the bloodthirsty threads blanketed the sky and earth, binding Tang San's entire body tightly as they prepared to drain his blood.
Just then, however, a powerful aura suddenly appeared in the sky. A figure draped in a black robe emerged, and the mighty phantom of a Clear Sky Hammer smashed into Huo Yuhao's bloodthirsty threads, instantly severing them.
Tang San managed to survive, lying on the ground and gasping for breath. As he struggled, he caught a glimpse of that powerful yet familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. "Dad?"
Tang San had never expected the person who came to save him to be his father-the father who did nothing but drink all day.
He had never imagined that his father was such a powerful Soul Master. Nine Soul Rings surrounded him, and one of them was even a red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"A Titled Douluo. Dad is actually a Titled Douluo..."
Tang San was utterly stunned. Tang Hao's current identity stood in stark contrast to the figure in his memories.
His blacksmith father, who knew only how to drink every day, had suddenly transformed into a powerful Titled Douluo whom everyone on the continent had to revere.
It was simply unbelievable!
"Little San, fall back. This isn't a battle you can take part in."
With that, Tang Hao gripped the enormous, mighty Clear Sky Hammer in one hand and pointed it at Huo Yuhao.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao slowly spoke as well. "It seems fate really does keep bringing us together. Thirteen years ago, I took your wife's Soul Bone. And thirteen years later, a Soul Beast has brought me face-to-face with you and your son again."
Tang Hao snorted at his words. Terrifying killing intent erupted from him, and his powerful aura clashed with Huo Yuhao's. "I don't know how you managed to become a Titled Douluo at your age, but since we've met today, let's settle our old grudges and new hatred together."
As a Titled Douluo, Tang Hao could not possibly fail to sense Huo Yuhao's aura. His own Soul Power was currently at rank ninety-four, just a little short of rank ninety-five.
But he could sense that Huo Yuhao's cultivation was at rank ninety-five, far stronger than his own.
Nevertheless, Tang Hao felt no fear and did not choose to flee. Instead, he chose to stake everything on a fight.
If he did not fight today, the gap between him and Huo Yuhao would only grow wider, and he would never again have a chance to reclaim his wife's Soul Bone from Huo Yuhao.
So he had to fight this battle today, and he had to win. He would wager everything he had to kill Huo Yuhao.
At that thought, the killing intent in Tang Hao's heart intensified once more. A powerful blood-colored domain spread from his body-it was none other than Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Not to be outdone, Huo Yuhao pressed his Blood Angel Domain toward Tang Hao as well. Their domains clashed furiously, and the tremendous shock waves they produced nearly razed the entire Suotuo Advanced Soul Master Academy to the ground.
Fortunately, all the students had already been evacuated, so there were no casualties. Meanwhile, Suotuo City's garrison had surrounded the entire Suotuo Advanced Soul Master Academy so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.
The bishop of Suotuo City's Papal Hall was merely a rank-seventy Soul Saint. Beneath the pressure of two mighty Titled Douluos, he trembled with fear and did not dare step forward to take charge.
Taking advantage of a brief opening in their clash, Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and led Xiao Wu out of the range of their domains. His gaze, however, remained fixed on his father, Tang Hao.
He wanted to see just how powerful his father truly was. He also wanted to see how strong the greatest experts in this world could be.
On the battlefield, after briefly probing each other with their domains, Huo Yuhao and Tang Hao charged fiercely into one another. In just a few breaths, Tang Hao stacked eighty-one strikes of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Combined with the terrifying force of his Clear Sky Hammer, the immense power warped space itself.
Then Tang Hao's hammer slammed straight into Huo Yuhao.
Clang!
The deafening impact unleashed a sky-shaking wave of sound and sent sand flying everywhere. Huo Yuhao crossed his Blood Angel Wings in front of himself, easily blocking Tang Hao's blow. Then the devouring threads on his Blood Angel Wings spread wildly toward Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Like climbing vines, they raced along his enormous Clear Sky Hammer and spread toward his body, ready to drain his vitality and Soul Power.
Sensing such an evil ability, Tang Hao's heart abruptly tightened. Then his first yellow Soul Ring instantly exploded.
The powerful blast shattered Huo Yuhao's bloodthirsty threads once again, and a fine rain of blood-red strands even began to fall from the sky.
Tang Hao had used the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, Ring Detonation.
The tremendous shock wave generated by Ring Detonation not only shattered Huo Yuhao's attack, but also allowed Tang Hao to bolster his own aura with its force. Then he lunged fiercely toward Huo Yuhao.
It was clear that this hammer strike was at least thirty percent stronger than the previous one.
Huo Yuhao, however, showed no fear whatsoever. The bloodthirsty threads were merely a passive ability of his Blood Angel Wings. Even if they could not harm his enemy, it hardly mattered. Their purpose had only been to restrain him in the first place.
Facing Tang Hao's attack, Huo Yuhao made only one simple movement: he used his Angel Wings to block it.
His Blood Angel Wings were a Martial Soul beyond the divine level, utterly indestructible. Tang Hao was not qualified to break through his defenses.
Tang Hao certainly had guts, though. Seeing that he could not breach Huo Yuhao's defenses, he set off another series of explosions around his body. His second through sixth Soul Rings all burst apart.
He furiously layered the terrifying force into the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, bringing the weight of his Clear Sky Hammer to a horrifying tens of thousands of jin.
Tang Hao viciously smashed that terrifyingly charged hammer straight into Huo Yuhao. This time, Huo Yuhao finally felt some strain.
Yet Huo Yuhao suddenly began to laugh.
Tang Hao's attack was already over, but his own attack was only just beginning!
His Angel Duel Arena had finished charging.
