Chapter 154: The Fall of Tang Hao

Chapter 154: The Fall of Tang Hao

A strong individual's sixth sense is often correct, guiding them through countless challenges until they become formidable. Those geniuses who perish early either lack luck or have a less-developed sixth sense, leading them to death on the path to strength.

Tang Hao was not some sheltered flower. Otherwise, he couldn't have achieved a hundred victories in the Slaughter City or survived the Hell Road.

He was a battle-hardened powerhouse, and his sixth sense was razor-sharp.

Facing this attack, he knew he couldn't block it. This wasn't a mere illusion; he truly couldn't withstand it.

"Why? Why is a Soul Saint this powerful?!"

As the blade aura approached, Tang Hao pondered in disbelief.

He couldn't understand how a Soul Saint could possess such overwhelming strength. Moreover, Kong's soul power was far beyond anything he could imagine.

In this final moment, regret filled Tang Hao. Why had he insisted on eliminating this future threat?

Once Tang San reached level 90 and gained a soul ring for his second martial soul, no matter how powerful Kong became, he wouldn't stand a chance against Tang San.

"What terrifying sword aura… it's bone-chilling!"

An expert sees the essence, while an outsider only the spectacle.

Chen Xin's heart trembled as he watched Kong's first soul skill.

As a pure sword martial soul master, Chen Xin noticed that, while Kong's weapon wasn't quite a sword, whether a blade or sword, their essence was connected.

Kong's first soul skill—was it really just a soul skill?

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring was indeed powerful and terrifying, even beyond what Chen Xin had seen. Yet, regardless of the soul ring's strength, it was still being used by a Soul Saint in his true martial soul form.

It could never compare to a Titled Douluo's ninth soul skill unleashed in their true form!

But Kong's skill had already surpassed anything Chen Xin could imagine. It defied belief.

A first soul ring of a hundred thousand years was ridiculous enough, yet its power was this immense—impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Kong's skill undoubtedly incorporated his understanding of intent.

Chen Xin had grasped a little of "sword intent" himself, enough to know that such a concept was real, not mere fantasy.

A sword has sword intent, a fist has fist intent, and the same applies to a palm.

Thus, it was entirely possible that Kong's weapon, the naginata, could embody "blade intent"!

Chen Xin didn't fully comprehend it, but he sensed an overwhelming will—a relentless determination to cut through everything in its path!

Even with his Seven Killing Sword, renowned as the "World's Greatest Offense," Chen Xin couldn't achieve this level of intent!

"When time permits, I must seek out this young man and understand this intent of his. Not yet thirteen, and he's already grasped such an intent. I feel ashamed in comparison!"

Chen Xin sighed, thinking to himself.

Though it seemed like an eternity, it was only a split second.

Having detonated his final two soul rings, Tang Hao's life was now on a countdown.

Whether he could block this blow or not, he wouldn't survive afterward.

His old injuries had fully erupted, and if not for his formidable strength protecting his heart meridian, he would already be dead.

This was also why he didn't attempt to flee; there was no turning back.

"Clear Sky Hammer, Chaotic Wind!"

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, sweat and blood beading on his forehead. These words were practically forced out through clenched jaws.

He raised his Clear Sky Hammer, pivoted on his right foot, and spun on the spot, charging toward the fourteen-fold sword aura with the combined power of his detonated rings and Great Xu Mi Hammer technique.

Kong: "..."

Watching Tang Hao's relentless advance, Kong felt an urge to speak but held back.

He couldn't help but want to comment.

Are all people on the Douluo Continent this stubborn?

Or does Tang Hao know nothing but brute force?

"You're on the brink of death, yet instead of delivering a final blow to your 'enemy,' you're running off to block his soul skill?"

Kong was utterly baffled. He had expected that, with his last two soul rings detonated, Tang Hao would risk everything in a desperate final attack, at least aiming to strike down this "culprit" directly. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine Tang Hao would so straightforwardly go after the soul skill instead.

"Well done, Tang Hao. You're a true genius!"

"If love in this world weren't so distracting…"

"How else could the Blue Silver Emperor have been deceived by you?" Kong thought to himself.

If Tang Hao had dodged that attack, Kong might have needed to reveal some hidden trump cards to finish him off. Or, even after using the Great Xu Mi Hammer, Tang Hao would have collapsed on his own, sparing Kong from lifting a finger.

Even Kong hadn't expected Tang Hao to be so cooperative!

The purple "sword aura" collided with the Clear Sky Hammer. The mighty hammer, once indomitable, was sliced through as if it were tofu, split cleanly in two.

Now, Tang Hao had two halves of the Clear Sky Hammer.

This scene sent shivers through the hidden onlookers, who stared with wide eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.

This was the famed Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Clan, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer—the strongest weapon martial soul! And yet, the hammer of a Titled Douluo had been split in two?

The pinnacle of weapon martial souls, known for its unparalleled durability, had shattered like something brittle—something no one could even imagine.

After slicing through the Clear Sky Hammer, the sword aura continued unimpeded, hurtling straight toward Tang Hao himself.

With a resounding "pfft," now, there were two Tang Haos!

Tang Hao: "..."

Time passed, and Kong returned to his original state, retracting his true martial soul form (Divine Armor state) and drawing back his weapon.

This attack, in truth, hadn't been as overwhelming as it appeared. Could it not be dodged if it couldn't be withstood?

"Fragmented Annihilation" wasn't particularly fast—its only flaw as a soul skill!

As Raiden Shogun would say: If the soul skill cannot land a hit, then it's meaningless!

However, Tang Hao, with the pride of a Titled Douluo and the honor of the Clear Sky Clan, had chosen to face the attack head-on, knowing it was futile. He just had to test if he could withstand it.

Of course, not everyone could dodge Fragmented Annihilation's pace.

"Hah…"

Kong let out a long breath, his gaze tinged with confusion.

By all logic, Tang Hao, as a "child of the world," shouldn't have died so easily. Why had he fallen so quickly? Had he been abandoned by the world's will, or what?

Unable to make sense of it, Kong decided to stop overthinking it—it was time to collect his spoils.

Tang Hao was someone with a full set of six soul bones, including the hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone...
