The moment the Haotian Hammer swung up, Tang Hao spat blood that splattered across its surface.
His foot struck the ground, his body spinning once in the air. The massive purplish-red hammerhead met the incoming giant sword-qi head-on.
After detonating his third soul ring, Tang Hao's aura finally underwent a qualitative shift.
The clash of the two overwhelming attacks erupted like thunder.
Boom!The earth trembled violently as a savage surge of energy blasted outward.
Cracks spider-webbed across the ground, spreading at frightening speed.
The spectators quickly retreated even farther away.
At this level of battle, even the aftershock was enough to kill them.
Standing still, Xiao Yan watched the spreading fissures, expression unchanged.
Tang Hao's rapidly rising aura told him one thing—this fight had only just begun.
Boom!Just as Flender and the others escaped the suffocating pressure, an even sharper thunderclap exploded at the village entrance.
With this fresh shockwave sweeping out, the already battered land groaned under the impact. The ground caved in around Tang Hao's position.
Energy ripples blasted outward. Shrek Academy's signboard crashed down with a bang.
Crack!The giant sword-qi, struck by Tang Hao's ring-explosion hammer, let out a crisp shattering sound.
Before Tang Hao could feel joy at breaking the powerful attack, countless fragments of sword-qi burst forth from the explosion.
The fused Ephemeral Sword Technique—its transformations contained transformations within transformations.
Confronted with the sudden eruption of sword-qi, Tang Hao scrambled to defend.In that instant, the black soul bone on his chest surfaced, glowing with deep black light as it formed a protective barrier around him.
Even so, two eerie strands of sword-qi slipped through, carving a wound along his arm.
Blood sprayed. Tang Hao stumbled back while fighting, and under the pressure of the final wave of sword-qi, he was driven deeper into the village.
After detonating three soul rings in succession, Tang Hao glanced at his injured left arm and gasped for breath.
Strange… strange… utterly strange…
This was completely unlike any soul master's attack style. Even after exploding his rings, he was still being suppressed.
Seeing Tang Hao forced into a desperate disadvantage again and again, and already having taken a beating earlier from their own student sparring match, Flender had long given up on any hope of Tang Hao winning.
"With us here, His Lordship has been holding back his true power and hasn't dared to use his strongest soul skills. We should head to Soto City first and wait there."
Having worked with him for years, Zhao Wuji instantly recognized Flender's thoughts.
This old bird made it sound noble, but the truth was simple—he saw Tang Hao getting pummeled and wanted to run first.
Zhao Wuji nodded solemnly. "Flender is right. Right now, we're only dragging His Lordship down. We have to leave immediately."
Dai Mubai, whose legs had long since gone weak, lit up with joy the moment someone suggested leaving.
If Xiao Yan beat Tang Hao… the next unlucky soul would definitely be him.
"Godfather! Focus on your battle—I'll host a grand feast for you in Soto City to wash away your dust and welcome your triumph!"
He shouted loudly at Tang Hao, then bolted toward Soto City at full speed.
Seeing his new adopted son so "filial," Tang Hao felt warmth in his chest.Yes—this boy was the true son he deserved.
As for the Xiao Yan before him… he should've had A Yin abort this monster long ago!
Originally preparing to finish the fight with Tang Hao, Xiao Yan turned toward Dai Mubai.
"Almost forgot about this little insect."
A blade of swift sword-qi shot from his hand.
Flender and Zhao Wuji—both soul saints with crippled cultivation—could only watch helplessly as the blue sword-qi pierced straight through Dai Mubai's heart.
Psshh!Blood erupted. Dai Mubai clearly sensed his heart rupture—then stop.
"I…" Dai Mubai stared in disbelief at the hollow, bleeding hole in his chest. His life was draining away rapidly.
Coughing blood, Dai Mubai screamed like a madman, "Xiao Ao! Sausage! Give me the sausage! Quickly!"
On any other day, if someone begged so desperately for his sausages, Oscar would've been thrilled.
But now, seeing the soon-to-die Dai boss, Oscar just shook his head."The Super Healing Sausage can only fix normal injuries. Boss Dai… your heart exploded. There's no saving that."
"No… impossible, impossible!"
Very few could remain calm in the face of death.Dai Mubai—who fled the Star Luo Empire in fear of losing—was even more terrified than most.
"I'm the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire! The future emperor who will unify the entire continent! How could I—how could I die here—"
His final cry, filled with endless resentment, vanished as Dai Mubai's collapsing body hit the ground and returned to dust.
Flender and the others were stunned senseless.
Xiao Yan was a wolf—no, worse. A wolf that ate wolves.
Didn't he say he wouldn't kill them!?
Xiao Yan didn't know their confusion. Even if he did, he wouldn't care enough to explain.
Dai Mubai was vicious, cunning, and a royal of the Star Luo Empire.If he became emperor, he would cause Xiao Yan no small trouble.
That alone made Dai Mubai a target that must die.
Watching Dai Mubai fall, Tang Hao clearly felt his adopted son—dearer to him than his real son—lose all breath.
"XIAOPENG!!!!"
Tang Hao's voice cracked as he roared. The mighty level-95 Titled Douluo broke down into tears like a child.
Pointing his hammer at Xiao Yan, Tang Hao shouted hoarsely:"Xiaopeng was your elder brother! And you killed him so cruelly! Are you even human!?"
Looking at the hysterical Tang Hao, Xiao Yan almost laughed."Whether I count as human… shouldn't you know best?"
He wasn't human to begin with—half-human, half-beast.An orc, in other words.
Unpleasant to say, but the truth.
Since Tang Hao asked, he saw no reason to hide it.
Enraged by Xiao Yan's answer, Tang Hao's soul rings began exploding one after another.
Fourth ring—millennium level.Fifth ring—ten-thousand-year level.Both shattered violently.
With each higher-age ring exploding, Tang Hao's aura surged explosively.
"Xiao Yan! From this moment on, I, Tang Hao, have only one son—Xiaopeng!You killed my son—are you ready to pay with your life!?"
