Mystic Yellow Radiance fell from Ning Xian's fingers.
Tang Hao's body was enveloped in the radiance.
His flesh, bones, and spiritual power were suppressed simultaneously.
The Clear Sky Hammer turned into black motes of light and merged into his body.
Immediately afterward, the black motes dispersed from within him, bit by bit.
Tang Hao reached out, trying to catch those motes.
But his arm rose only halfway before falling back down.
Ning Xian raised his right hand.
Mystic Yellow Radiance condensed into a line and pierced Tang Hao between the brows.
Tang Hao's body remained rooted in place.
His eyes gradually lost their luster.
The next moment.
His body began to disintegrate from the point between his brows.
His black cloak, shattered Soul Rings, and the fragments of the Clear Sky Hammer turned to ash simultaneously.
The ashes fell in the middle of the long street.
Ning Xian waved his sleeve.
Mystic Yellow Radiance swept over the ground.
The ashes, the cracked bluestone, and the aura Tang Hao had left behind all vanished.
The long street grew peaceful once more.
Dugu Yan walked up beside Ning Xian.
She glanced at the spot where Tang Hao had vanished.
"Senior, Tang Hao is dead."
"Mm."
"Once Tang San finds out, will he come looking for you?"
"He can come."
Dugu Yan linked her arm through Ning Xian's.
"Will you kill him, Senior?"
"If he doesn't attack, I'll leave him alone."
Ning Xian withdrew the Mystic Yellow Radiance.
"If he attacks, I'll kill him."
Liu Erlong stood behind Ning Xian.
She looked toward the end of the long street, then back at Ning Xian.
"Master, Tang Hao was the Clear Sky Douluo."
"I know."
"If the Clear Sky Sect learns he died here..."
"They will."
Ning Xian picked up the Celadon Wine Gourd.
