Chapter 25: Confronting Tang Hao

Chapter 25: Confronting Tang Hao

On a dark and stormy night meant for murder...

Kong sat on the rooftop of the Rose Hotel. After what had happened during the day, he could hardly believe that "he" would remain inactive tonight.

Given his petty nature, Tang San's kneeling gesture surely warranted an appearance from him; it would be unreasonable otherwise.

"Young Master, that girl..."

Standing next to Kong was an elderly man, his soul power reaching the 87th level.

His eyes shone with excitement, his emotions barely contained. This was his first encounter with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast—moreover, a legendary transforming soul beast!

The hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone were within reach, easily attainable!

Possessing these two treasures would undoubtedly take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to new heights!

Following Kong and aiding him in secret were two elders from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Both were soul douluos, and their martial spirits were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons—true direct descendants!

Only with such pedigree could Yu Yuanshen feel somewhat reassured.

"The legendary transforming soul beast—if the Young Master could obtain her soul ring and soul bone, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will surely ascend to a new level!" Yu Yuanshen, the elder, became even more fervent.

Just then, a figure silently appeared beside them.

His murky eyes held a trace of strangeness.

For so many years, Xiao Wu's identity had remained undiscovered. Unexpectedly, it was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the top three sects, that first uncovered Xiao Wu's identity! If this situation was mishandled, Tang San and Xiao Wu would face the clan's pursuit the next day.

If things escalated, any minor power in the Douluo Continent would join the chase against Tang San and Xiao Wu.

This was a hundred-thousand-year transforming soul beast! Another aspect Tang Hao hadn't anticipated was that the child he had planned to discipline was actually the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

"Who is it!"

Yu Yuanshen bellowed, instantly shielding Kong behind him. Anyone capable of appearing so silently and unnoticed must be a formidable enemy!

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go outside!"

After saying this, Tang Hao ran towards the outskirts of Soto City, confident that the three would follow.

Yu Yuanshen did not immediately follow; his duty was to protect Kong's safety, prioritizing it above all else.

This was a direct order from Yu Yuanshen, and he felt the same way.

Although the hundred-thousand-year transforming soul beast was important, the fact that Yu Yuanshen did not capture it immediately showed how seriously he took this matter.

In the darkness, another figure appeared—it was another elder tasked with protecting Kong.

The two exchanged glances, unsure whether the newcomer was friend or foe.

"Let's go and see."

Kong then said.

Tang Hao, suffering from a hidden injury, could not exert more than 80% of his strength under normal circumstances.

Though not someone these two soul douluos could handle, Kong's trump card was never these two soul douluos!

Hearing this, the two nodded and followed Kong.

They had witnessed Kong's martial spirit awakening; his origins were certainly not simple...

Soon, the group reached the outskirts of Soto City.

The bright moonlight scattered over the earth, brightening the dark night.

Tang Hao stopped and pondered whether to keep all three here or to intimidate them into abandoning the idea of pursuing the hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit.

As for the unity of the top three sects, Tang Hao cared little about it!

That was more a concern for the weaker Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, who promoted the unity of the top three sects to bind the strongest, the Haotian Sect, to their cause.

In a real crisis, each sect would look out for itself, wishing the others would disappear and allow one to dominate.

Tang Hao, who feared neither the Spirit Hall nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, scoffed at the old dragon. Once he fell, who else in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect could stand?

"Who are you, really?"

Yu Yuanshen asked Tang Hao, his face grave.

Though Tang Hao appeared as a beggar without any semblance of a powerful figure, the pressure from his aura made Yu Yuanshen break out in a cold sweat.

Tang Hao did not verbally answer Yu Yuanshen's question; instead, he demonstrated who he was through his actions.

With a grasp of his right hand, a war hammer about 1.8 meters long materialized in Tang Hao's hand.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—nine soul rings slowly rose from beneath Tang Hao's feet.

"Titled Douluo!"

"The Haotian Hammer! Hundred-thousand-year soul rings!"

"You are Tang Hao?"

The reputation of a person, much like the shadow of a tree, was telling. Yu Yuanshen and another elder sweated profusely, feeling a chill run down their backs.

Tang Hao's fame had peaked twelve years ago when he broke through to become a Titled Douluo and severely injured the Pope Qianxun Ji, who died shortly after returning to the Spirit Hall.

The two had never imagined that they would encounter the legendary Titled Douluo, Tang Hao, in Soto City.

They knew their own strengths well; against an ordinary Titled Douluo, the two together might stand a chance, but facing Tang Hao...

There was no hope at all.

Yu Yuanshen gave the other elder a look, no words needed, but it conveyed that he might not make it back.

The other elder nodded. If a fight did break out, he would not hesitate to flee with Kong first.

Back at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the clan leader and deputy would seek vengeance for Yu Yuanshen!

That is, if Tang Hao were to strike.

"I can overlook today's events, as if they never happened."

At this moment, Tang Hao spoke.

Ultimately, he chose not to strike. The two soul douluos, one of whom was at the 87th level, could have been eliminated if they hadn't attempted to flee. But if one decided to stay behind while the other fled, Tang Hao wasn't completely sure he could keep all three.

As for Kong, the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Hao didn't consider him a threat at all.

At around the same age as Tang San, how strong could he be?

"That hundred-thousand-year transforming soul beast was discovered by me first; you cannot covet her!"

Tang Hao's gaze sharpened, and the formidable aura of a Titled Douluo erupted.

"This…"

Yu Yuanshen hesitated slightly; he had not expected that the hundred-thousand-year transforming soul beast they had so fortunately discovered was already claimed by Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect!

If the Haotian Sect obtained the soul ring and soul bone of this hundred-thousand-year soul beast, what chance would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have to ever rise above them?

Tang Hao already possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and it was impossible for them to believe he didn't have a hundred-thousand-year soul bone as well!

"What, you…"
