Chapter 84: Severing Tang Hao's Legs — Seizing His Soul Bones, Tang Xiao Arrives
A piercing, soul-rending agony exploded through Tang San's body.
The mysterious force pulling him vanished instantly, and he plummeted toward the ground like a kite with its string cut.
Blood gushed violently from the severed stump of his right leg, spraying through the air in a gruesome arc.
At the same time, the freshly severed limb—still warm—was swept up by Yue Guan's soul power.
Another golden, petal-shaped blade descended gently.
Shhk!
It sliced the leg open.
A faint-blue, luminous bone rolled out from within.
With a wave of soul power, Yue Guan pulled the radiant bone into his palm.
The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Feeling the massive, surging energy inside it, Yue Guan's breathing quickened.
"Old Ghost—I've got it!"
This was the plan he and Gui Mei had set beforehand:
Gui Mei would act as bait, drawing Tang Hao and Tang San into the trap, pretending to make them chase a soul bone— only to turn around and steal their soul bones instead.
Tang San was still only a five-ring Soul King. Losing a soul bone at this stage should have killed him on the spot.
But because the Asura God was secretly protecting him, he barely clung to life.
Seeing his son's mangled, bloody state, Tang Hao felt his heart shatter.
Fortunately, that mysterious power appeared once again, keeping Tang San alive.
The moment Tang Hao realized his wife Ah Yin's soul bone was in Yue Guan's hand—
His fury erupted like a volcanic explosion.
"You bastards—give Ah Yin's soul bone back to me!!"
Tang Hao roared, the sound shaking heaven and earth, thick with killing intent.
The Clear Sky Hammer howled through the air as he swung it wildly, hurricane winds exploding from every strike as he charged toward Yue Guan.
"Tang Hao, you pathetic coward—you think roaring will save you? Today… you die here!"
Yue Guan only sneered.
His eyes flashed with chilling cruelty as he activated the skill of his own hundred-thousand-year right arm bone—
Titan Firmament Breaker.
A compressed shot of soul power blasted forward like a cannon shell, carrying annihilating force straight toward Tang Hao.
At the same time—
Gui Mei's fourth soul ring flared.
Two-hundred-thousand-year skill: Sky Azure Fading Thunderclap.
A colossal pillar of lightning fell from the clouds without warning, warping space as it crashed down toward Tang Hao.
The massive thunder column glowed with an eerie blue light, its destructive power so immense that the very air rippled.
The old partners attacked in perfect synchrony, deadly intent locked onto Tang Hao.
"Dad!!"
Tang San's shrill scream tore through the battlefield, eyes wide with terror.
He struggled to sit up despite the agony in his body, shouting at the top of his lungs.
BOOM!! BOOM!!
The two catastrophic attacks struck almost simultaneously—one slamming into the Clear Sky Hammer, the other tearing across Tang Hao's body.
The Titan Firmament Breaker and the Sky Azure Fading Thunderclap intertwined midair, detonating with an earth-shattering crash, as if the heavens themselves were enraged.
The force smashed Tang Hao downward with unstoppable speed.
The ground quaked violently, cracks spreading like a spiderweb across the battlefield.
BOOM!!
Tang Hao and his hammer slammed into the earth, carving out a massive crater.
Dust and debris shot skyward.
Even with the Clear Sky Protective Body active…
How could it possibly withstand these two hundred-thousand-year soul skills?
Blood spewed from Tang Hao's mouth as though his body had ruptured internally. His organs were shredded, and he collapsed in the crater—barely alive.
Gui Mei didn't pause.
He knew Tang Hao carried six soul bones.
There was no way he would let this opportunity slip.
The hunt was far from over.
He stepped forward—
Eyes cold.
Killing intent rising.
Tang Hao's suffering was only just beginning.
As Gui Mei swung the Nether Soul-Slaying Sword, dozens of death-laden sword beams shot forth like lightning, each aimed straight at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, trembling and broken, mustered every shred of strength left in his ruined body, forcing himself to raise the Clear Sky Hammer to block.
But he was already a collapsing bow with no string—his body weak, his soul power in chaos. There was no way he could defend against Gui Mei's vicious assault.
SLASH!!
A horrifying scream tore from Tang Hao's throat.
Gui Mei's sword energy severed both of Tang Hao's legs cleanly at the root. Blood sprayed like a crimson fountain, soaking the ground beneath him.
Taking the chance, Yue Guan swept his soul power outward, catching the two fallen soul bones and pulling them into his hands.
His face twisted with ecstatic glee.
"Another two soul bones—HAHAHA!"
Just as Gui Mei raised the Nether Sword to finish Tang Hao off completely—
A terrifying wave of soul power crashed across the battlefield.
A massive blue-purple hammer shadow descended from the sky, carrying crushing thunder and annihilating power.
"Hao-er!"
The voice boomed across the heavens.
The incoming figure was none other than—
Tang Xiao, Patriarch of the Clear Sky Sect,
a peak Rank 96 Super Douluo.
When Tang San left for Spirit City to participate in the tournament finals, Tang Hao secretly followed to protect him.
Tang Yuehua, worried about their safety, returned to the Clear Sky Sect to inform Tang Xiao of everything.
Though Tang Hao had been expelled from the sect, he was still a man of the Tang bloodline.
And Tang San was the son of Tang Hao and Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor—
the only woman Tang Xiao had ever loved.
Though she was gone, the bond in Tang Xiao's heart never faded.
When he learned Ah Yin reincarnated as Blue Silver Grass and was devoured by Gui Mei—
Tang Xiao's fury was boundless.
He swore to kill Gui Mei and Yue Guan.
Yet when he arrived and laid eyes on Tang Hao—
He never imagined his younger brother would be reduced to such a miserable, mutilated state.
Tang Xiao didn't know what had happened.
He had no time to think.
His figure blurred, appearing high above the battlefield in an instant, his eyes blazing with wrath and urgency.
"Tang Xiao? Perfect timing."
Gui Mei sneered.
Facing the overwhelming hammer shadow, he showed not a shred of fear.
A decisive gleam flashed through his eyes as he swept the Nether Soul-Slaying Sword outward.
A razor-thin sword beam—compressed to a deadly edge—shot out, colliding head-on with the hammer.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Sword and hammer collided, unleashing a storm of violent energy.
The explosion was deafening.
Shockwaves rippled outward, tearing cracks into the very air. Trees snapped like twigs. Giant boulders burst into shards.
The battlefield was transformed into ruins.
Yu Xiaogang's entire body trembled.
"That hammer strike… such terrifying power… It's the Clear Sky Hammer… That must be… Clear Sky Sect Patriarch Tang Xiao!"
Tang Xiao's arrival rekindled hope in the three.
Facing Gui Mei and Yue Guan—two overwhelming monsters—they were as good as dead without help.
Yu Xiaogang had already resigned himself to a final, desperate struggle together with Flender and Liu Erlong.
Now he acted without hesitation.
"Flender! Erlong! Fusion—now!"
The three instantly shifted into position, forming a triangle.
"Sun–Moon Radiance: Golden Transformation!!!"
A shout echoed across the battlefield.
Golden light erupted, linking the three of them.
Their soul rings poured into Luo Sanpao, merging Yu Xiaogang's coordinating mind, Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon, and Flender's Owl martial soul.
In moments, a colossal golden dragon rose into the sky, its scales gleaming with radiant light.
