Tang Hao felt unbearable pain. In his daze, he seemed to have returned to ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, Spirit Hall had hunted him and Ah Yin. Back then, to protect him, Ah Yin had sacrificed herself to him, becoming his ninth Soul Ring. Taking that opportunity to break through to Titled Douluo, he had successfully broken through Spirit Hall's encirclement.
After Tang San attained godhood, he and Ah Yin had enjoyed a good life. He no longer had to worry about anyone riding roughshod over him, or anyone bullying Ah Yin.
But now, he had an ominous feeling. What had happened ten thousand years ago might play out once again.
Once again, he had failed to protect Ah Yin. He had brought her into danger yet again.
"Hao, what are you saying? How could I leave you?" Ah Yin shook her head. Ten thousand years ago, she had preferred sacrificing herself to Tang Hao over fleeing alone, which said everything about her character.
She could not cling to life alone at any cost.
"A First-Level God, and a Divine Beast at that. Even together, we're no match for her." Tang Hao drew a deep breath. If it had been an ordinary First-Level God, perhaps he would not have been reduced to this. But a Divine Beast's physique far surpassed a human's.
A Divine Beast could withstand many of their attacks with its powerful body, but a human would lose the vast majority of their strength in an instant after just one hit.
"Ah!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing that Ah Yin refused to leave, Tang Hao was deeply moved.
At the same time, the fury and fighting spirit in his heart were fully ignited.
He had to fight. He had to protect Ah Yin.
