Leaving This Matter Aside, Was Spirit Hall Not at Fault Too?

As the saying went, a dark and windy night was the perfect time for murder.

Everything that had happened inside the Rose Hotel during the day had been witnessed by a giant rat hiding in the shadows.

It was no exaggeration to say that, if not for the Clear Sky Sect's century-long plan for revival,

when his precious son knelt and apologized to that evil Spirit Hall,

Tang Hao would have wanted to charge forward with his great hammer and smash its members to death!

Not to mention that the brat called Jiang Huai was about the same age as his precious son, yet he was already a Quasi-Soul King!

He had a thousand-year first Soul Ring and a ten-thousand-year third Soul Ring.

If he really grew to maturity, he would undoubtedly become a mortal threat to the Clear Sky Sect!

Endless killing intent brewed in his heart.

As a level 95 Super Douluo, Tang Hao was supremely confident in his own strength, and he had sensed no powerful expert by Jiang Huai's side whom he could not contend with!

Wasn't an unprotected genius the perfect assassination target?

Golden Crocodile Douluo: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

Light Feather Douluo: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

Six years ago, that crew-cut fellow Yu Xiaogang had told him that Jiang Huai's rapid growth in Soul Power, combined with his absorption of Soul Rings beyond his level, meant he must have used some method that exhausted his potential.

But now, not only his precious son Tang San, but also Dai Mubai of the Star Luo Empire-

even the two of them together could not withstand a single exchange with that brat. Didn't that say something?

Sure enough, he should never have placed such high expectations on that crew-cut fellow.

"Such a secret technique rightfully belongs to my Clear Sky Sect."

"I hope that brat knows what's good for him. Otherwise, my great hammer will make him see the situation clearly."

As night fell, a voice entered Jiang Huai's mind.

"Brat, come out. I'll be waiting for you outside the city."

"Otherwise, all those so-called companions of yours will die by my hand."

Jiang Huai raised an eyebrow slightly.

Oh? Tang Hao really came looking for me?

In his room, the figures of Golden Crocodile Douluo and Light Feather Douluo flickered into view.

The two exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

"That boy Tang Hao has long been a mortal threat to Spirit Hall. Over the years, he has destroyed quite a few of our branch halls."

"In the past, big brother always had to consider the agreement between himself and that Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect, so he was unwilling to intervene in matters concerning Tang Hao."

"Even the Pope's side often turned a blind eye."

"Since he's come here courting death today, Fifth Brother, let's make sure he stays here."

Light Feather Douluo naturally had no objection.

"Don't worry, Second Brother. My sword isn't so easy to dodge."

After speaking with a smile, Light Feather Douluo stepped forward and patted Jiang Huai on the shoulder.

"Brat, go without fear."

"With the two of us here, tonight will be the anniversary of that brute Tang Hao's death."

Jiang Huai naturally had no doubts about the strength of Golden Crocodile Douluo and Light Feather Douluo.

But a wisp of the Asura God's divine sense was surely attached to that brute Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

Why had Qian Xunji been left unable to care for himself after a single hammer blow?

During the pursuit in the years that followed, why had Tang Hao been able to escape danger time and again?

In the original story, before the battle at Jialing Pass, that old fellow had dared to take on Golden Crocodile Douluo head-on while carrying Angela Chang?

And he had even gained the upper hand?

Jiang Huai refused to believe that some dirty thing had not been pulling the strings behind all of it.

If that shameless thing personally stepped in to fight on Tang Hao's behalf, things might become difficult to handle.

"Ah, I just don't know which God King the system meant when it said a God King would be watching me."

That was what Jiang Huai thought to himself.

Before long, following Tang Hao's directions, Jiang Huai arrived at a small grove outside Suotuo City, seemingly alone.

At the end of the path ahead, a burly man stood in the middle of the road with his back turned, his entire body shrouded beneath a hood and a small pitch-black hammer in his hand.

Seriously, why is this giant rat putting on airs?

Sensing his arrival, Tang Hao slowly turned around.

Only when Jiang Huai drew closer did Tang Hao abruptly realize that the surging Qi and blood within him were even more terrifying.

This boy must not be allowed to live!

"Brat, I didn't expect you to actually dare come alone."

"But since you've come today, don't expect to leave alive!"

"Hand over the secret technique for absorbing Soul Rings beyond your level at once, and I might consider giving you a quick death."

"Otherwise, you won't want to know what awaits you."

Tang Hao sneered, his tone full of arrogance.

For a moment, Jiang Huai was amused.

"Haozi, you really know how to joke."

"It's just a lousy hammer. Do you really think the Martial Soul in your hand is the number one tool Martial Soul under heaven?"

"You're just a measly level 95 Titled Douluo. Why court your own destruction?"

Hearing this, Tang Hao was dumbfounded for a moment.

Indeed, his injuries from the great battle six years ago had yet to heal.

But since when did an ant of a Quasi-Soul King dare provoke him like this?

At the thought, Tang Hao was so furious he laughed.

"Brat, you've got some nerve."

"Of course, I'm super brave, all right?"

"As for you, Tang Hao, neither you, brute, nor the Haozi Sect behind you should ever dream of possessing the secret technique for absorbing Soul Rings beyond your level."

"A man who would even scheme against his own wife for a mere Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring-every breath you take is a mistake."

At first, Tang Hao had only thought Jiang Huai didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, but when the last sentence reached his ears, his eyes instantly turned scarlet.

Had he not known that the Blue Silver Emperor's Blue Silver Domain made her undying and indestructible in the forest?

Or had he not known that a transformed Soul Beast's presence would leak out during pregnancy?

No! None of that mattered!

For the sect, he was willing to pay any price!

Besides, leaving the facts aside, if Qian Xunji had not pressed them so relentlessly back then, would his Ah Yin have made the sacrifice?

It was all Spirit Hall's fault!

"Brat, you've successfully angered me."

"Even if you refuse to reveal the secret technique for absorbing Soul Rings beyond your level, one of your companions will surely be willing to hand it over!"

"Today, you'll die here with your secret!"

The instant the words left his mouth, Tang Hao leaped into the air!

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand carried boundless might as it instantly grew large enough to blot out the sky and sun!

Nine Soul Rings-yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red-circled beneath his feet in an orderly sequence!

"Brat, to die beneath my Clear Sky Hammer is enough to make your life a proud one!"
