Tang San's Birth, Qian Xunji Seriously Injured

Tang San's Birth, Qian Xunji Seriously Injured

While Ling Feng headed alone for the Pope's Palace in Spirit City, Ah Yin, heavily pregnant, was in a Blue Silver Forest somewhere on Douluo Continent. After excessive travel and constant jolting, her water broke.

Her water breaking meant that Tang San was about to be born.

"Brother Hao, my water broke!"

Pain filled Ah Yin's face as she leaned weakly against the trunk of a towering tree.

Her face was pale and bloodless. With great difficulty, she raised her right hand, trying to grasp Tang Hao's hand.

Her voice was incomparably weak.

This child had come at the worst possible time.

Under normal circumstances, they would have been overjoyed, perhaps even eagerly awaiting the child's birth.

But their situation was dire, and they could barely protect themselves.

The child's birth would only make their already precarious situation more passive and urgent.

At her words, Tang Hao's once youthful, reckless face filled with endless worry.

He weakly rubbed his brow, glanced at Ah Yin's swollen belly, then looked around. The worry between his brows deepened.

This was not a place where they could stay for long, much less a place to give birth.

The people chasing them from behind would catch up soon.

They could not remain here too long, or Ah Yin would be in grave danger.

"Ah Yin, can you hold on a little longer?!"

"This isn't a place to give birth.

And they're relentlessly pursuing us from behind. They'll catch up very soon.

For your safety, we have to leave. We can't stay here!"

Ah Yin fell silent at those words.

She understood everything Tang Hao had said.

No one knew better than she did whether this was a suitable place to give birth.

As the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin could communicate with all Blue Silver Grass.

Through the Blue Silver Grass nearby, Ah Yin knew that those people were now less than five kilometers away.

Then Ah Yin gave a bitter laugh. "Brother Hao, I also wanted to wait until we were somewhere safe before giving birth."

As she spoke, pain showed on Ah Yin's face. Her slender fingers gently stroked her swollen belly.

"But this isn't something I can control!"

"He's drained me so badly that I don't even have the strength to run anymore. Only by giving birth to him here will I stop being a burden to you."

"Ah~!"

The moment she finished speaking, Ah Yin suddenly cried out in pain.

Her features twisted in agony as her fingers dug into the soil.

"Brother Hao, I can't take it!"

Tang Hao looked at the suffering Ah Yin and said nothing more.

He pulled over a huge leaf from nearby and draped it over Ah Yin.

Then he silently turned around, his back to Ah Yin, and walked toward those pursuing them.

At that moment, he had to take on the responsibility a man should bear.

As a man, he had to protect his wife and child.

He had to keep his wife safe and ensure his son came safely into this world.

When Tang Hao made this choice, he knew this journey would likely be fatal.

But he had no other choice.

The moment he fell in love with a blade of grass and had a child with one, he had already prepared himself to become the enemy of all humanity.

Love transcended everything. For true love, Tang Hao was willing to become the enemy of all humanity.

Even if he had to slaughter every last human being, he would protect his Ah Yin.

"Father, please forgive me for making this choice!"

"Ah Yin, I will protect you.

Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate."

With a thought, Tang Hao spread his large hand toward the sky. His Clear Sky Hammer martial soul appeared out of thin air and landed in his hand.

Gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao left with his back to Ah Yin and went to meet Qian Xunji's Spirit Hall Douluo Group.

What followed unfolded just as it had in the original story.

Tang Hao single-handedly withstood the entire Soul Douluo Group led by Qian Xunji.

But because he had only just reached Rank 90, had not yet absorbed a soul ring, and had not officially become a Titled Douluo, he was soon severely wounded by their combined attack. Nearly all the meridians in his body were ruptured.

He was covered in blood, and his Soul Power had run dry from excessive consumption.

Yet even so, he gritted his teeth and held on.

He could not retreat, nor could he fall.

Behind him was the wife who needed his protection.

With nearly all his meridians ruptured, the pain was unbearable to ordinary people.

That Tang Hao could still stand firm was already extraordinarily difficult. His willpower had reached the pinnacle.

Even if he had to die standing, he would still protect his wife and child.

In this regard, one had to admit that he was a good man.

Qian Xunji also had considerable respect for Tang Hao as he was now.

"Tang Hao, step aside now and obediently hand over the Blue Silver Emperor.

We can let bygones be bygones over Spirit Hall's losses and spare your life."

Qian Xunji looked at Tang Hao, who was already at the end of his rope, and spoke with his head slightly raised.

Tang Hao snorted disdainfully and even spat in Qian Xunji's face.

"Pah~!"

"You want me to sell out my own wife to save my life? Dream on!"

"If you want soul rings and soul bones, there are plenty elsewhere.

They can be found in the vast Star Dou Forest, upon the boundless seas, and in the mysterious, unknown Extreme North.

Yet you've fixated solely on my wife!"

After saying that, Tang Hao raised his eyes to the sky in utter unwillingness, his fists clenched tightly.

"I hate it. I truly hate it. I hate that Heaven gave me far too little time."

"If only it could have given me a few more years, I would have been able to protect my wife.

I would have slaughtered every human who saw Ah Yin as a soul ring or soul bone!"

As Tang Hao roared in unwilling fury, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

"Waa~!"

Behind Tang Hao, the cry of a child also rang out.

Hearing the child's cry, joy appeared in Tang Hao's eyes.

His child had been born. Ah Yin was no longer burdened by him.

Then the joy in his eyes dimmed again.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in this life.

A trace of resolve flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.

To protect his wife, he had to kill everyone before him.

But in his current state, he simply could not do it.

Unless he gambled everything and directly exploded all four of his soul rings, unleashing power beyond his limits.

But if he did that, he might die.

The energy produced by exploding all four rings at once was simply too terrifying.

In his current condition, he might not be able to endure it.

But for his wife and child, he had no other choice.

"Ah Yin, and my son whom I have yet to meet, goodbye!"

"I love you."

"Brother Hao, don't!"

Just as Tang Hao was preparing to risk his life and use the ultimate secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer, Explode Ring, to detonate all four soul rings on his body, a clear woman's voice came from behind him.

Hearing that voice, Tang Hao's pupils contracted.

He turned around almost instinctively, his gaze shooting toward the newcomer.

The newcomer held his child in her arms. His child was swaddled in cloth.

The child cried constantly, his cries strong and vigorous. It was clear that he was very healthy.

"Ah Yin, why are you here?"

"It's dangerous here. Leave quickly! Take the child and leave this place!"

Tang Hao stared at Ah Yin in disbelief and asked dazedly.

The next moment, he immediately urged her to leave again.

Ah Yin said nothing.

She glanced at the gravely wounded Tang Hao, then silently set their child—Tang San—down to one side.

She then passed Tang Hao and walked toward Qian Xunji and the others with a resolute gaze.

Halfway there, Ah Yin turned back to look at Tang Hao, who could barely stand, tears glimmering in her eyes.

"Brother Hao, live well with our little Tang San. Ah Yin will love you forever!"

The moment she finished speaking, green light erupted from Ah Yin's body, and she chose to sacrifice herself on the spot.

At the same time, Tang San, swaddled in cloth, was utterly bewildered beneath his bare brows.

Wasn't I dead?

I jumped off Ghost Sorrow and died!

So what is going on now?!

It took Tang San only a few seconds to accept one fact—he had not died!

For some reason, his body had simply become smaller.

He had reverted to the state of a newborn infant and, worse still, could no longer speak.

Unable to understand what was happening, Tang San decided to wait and observe for now.

Just as Tang San decided to wait and observe, a heart-rending roar suddenly came from outside.

"Ah Yin, no!"

Tang Hao roared in agony, wanting to rush forward and stop Ah Yin's sacrifice.

But once a soul beast's sacrifice began, it could not be stopped.

He could only watch helplessly as Ah Yin completed the sacrifice before his eyes.

Then, she became his soul ring.

After obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Tang Hao's Soul Power surged explosively. He truly entered the ranks of Titled Douluo and became a Titled Douluo powerhouse.

With his Soul Power surging, killing intent boiled in Tang Hao's eyes.

Staring at Qian Xunji, the culprit behind Ah Yin's sacrifice, Tang Hao snarled, "Qian Xunji, you deserve to die! You killed my Ah Yin.

Since you killed her, then go down and atone to her!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Clear Sky True Body."

With a thunderous roar.

Tang Hao's seventh soul ring suddenly lit up as he activated Clear Sky True Body.

Filled with endless fury, a Clear Sky Hammer the size of a small mountain appeared in the air and unleashed a fatal strike at Qian Xunji.

With a single hammer blow, not one member of Qian Xunji's Douluo Group escaped. They all died.

Qian Xunji himself was also severely wounded by that blow.

Seeing that things had gone badly and being seriously injured himself, Qian Xunji knew he could no longer contend with Tang Hao.

The Blue Silver Emperor had already sacrificed herself. There was no point in remaining here any longer.

"Tang Hao, just you wait!"

He hurriedly left behind those harsh words. Then the six wings on his back moved, and he immediately took to the sky, fleeing in defeat.

Watching Qian Xunji flee, Tang Hao wanted to pursue and kill him, but he no longer had the strength.

He too was severely wounded, with nearly all the meridians in his body ruptured.

After thinking it over, Tang Hao endured the pain of his ruptured meridians and picked up Tang San, who was still swaddled in cloth.

He then left this troubled place and went to live in seclusion in Sacred Soul Village.
