Chapter 246 Peeling off the Spirit Bones

On the other side, within the unknown forest.

"At this time, Xiao San should have already entered the Clan." Tang Hao, who was running away, couldn't help but look back, the Clear Sky Clan was located on the north side of the Sunset Forest, the northeast of the Heaven Dou Empire, while the valley he was rushing to was located in the southwest of the empire, the distance difference was so great that his child would have arrived at the destination much earlier than he did.

"I hope everything goes well," He murmured and turned back to continue his journey.

A few days later, he finally arrived at the familiar waterfall.

With a certain amount of excitement in his heart, he bounced and flew up onto the reef, swatted away the torrent with his palm and walked in.

Then he quickly came to the dark door, pressed the mechanism and dashed inside, took out the gemstone used for illumination from the spirit tool, and went through the passage to the stone room. Light shone down through the hole overhead, and as the line of sight went down, a slightly swaying blue and silver grass appeared in front of him.

"Yin..."

Murmuring softly, he quickly approached and crouched down.

Reaching out to gently caress the blades, he let out a low murmur, "Ah Yin, our child has grown up. He has successfully passed through the Hell Road, and his strength has broken through the Spirit Emperor level, which is enough to fend off at one side. Next, I will stay here and accompany you all the time."

Saying that, while taking out a blanket from his spirit tool and spreading it at the side, he narrated about Tang San's growth over the years.

After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head and glanced at the stone wall on the side, his gaze was firm.

Sitting cross-legged, he began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.

***

A few days later, Skywalker Academy.

Lin Manshan found Dugu Bo, ''Grandpa, the bird and beast I sent to Clear Sky Clan detected Tang San's soul aura, and he didn't come out for two days in a row, so I think he must have already settled in Clear Sky Clan for the time being. As for Tang Hao's side, I just got the news that he has returned to that waterfall."

"Tang Hao's internal hidden injuries were already quite heavy, and utilizing the Ring Explosion Technique twice caused his injuries to worsen, his body has long been overwhelmed, and it could flare up at any time in the next few moments."

"And to solve it, the simplest way is to discharge the stagnant blood through amputation."

"And severing a limb means stripping the spirit bone, so opening that box and putting the spirit bone into it becomes possible."

"Just in case, I think we'll have to set off early to check it out."

"Hmm, good." Dugu Bo nodded, "Although the poison we left in the box is fierce enough, it's uncertain whether Tang Hao would be able to run out of the cave forcibly after being poisoned. Not to mention that if his corpse falls down the waterfall, the poison will leak out and poison many spirit beasts downstream. If we go too late and the fallen spirit bones are washed away by the water or carried away by some spirit beasts, it would be a big loss."

"Moreover, with his current injuries and being alone, it shouldn't be difficult for us to kill him."

Lin Manshan nodded, "That's what I think as well."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's pack up and leave tonight." Dugu Bo hurriedly urged.

Thus, that night, the two packed up their travelling clothes and flew away from the academy in the darkness of the night.

After a few days of rushing, they finally arrived within another valley a few kilometres away from the waterfall. At this distance, as long as Tang Hao was poisoned to death or produced violent soul fluctuations, the birds and butterflies around the waterfall would be the first to sense it and then would fly into Lin Manshan's soul perception range. In this way, they would be able to ensure that they would not be discovered by Tang Hao, but also be able to arrive at the fastest speed.

After digging out a cave on the side of the mountain wall, and after a simple arrangement, the two of them officially stationed themselves.

It wasn't that Dugu Bo hadn't proposed to directly besiege Tang Hao, but he was stopped by Lin Manshan, who knew that Tang Hao would inevitably choose to strip off his spirit bone. A direct siege would inevitably break out into a big battle, causing damage to the surrounding terrain. In the future, Tang San would definitely be wary of seeing the devastated terrain and associate it with them or the Martial Spirit Hall, which would make him wary and would affect the follow-up plan.

He also wanted to take advantage of Tang San's meeting with Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming and take a video.

The previous siege action had been enough to prove that the Clear Sky Clan had conspired with Tang Hao to meddle in the affairs of the continent.

If it was revealed that Tang San was having a private meeting with 100,000-year-old spirit beasts and that humans were colluding with spirit beasts, this fact would be enough to serve as a reason for the Martial Spirit Hall to attack the Clear Sky Clan.

However, as of right now, Tang Hao's 100,000-year-old spirit ring still makes him wary.

Since they could kill him steadily, why would they need to gamble?

If it can be stabilized, then be stable, anyway, they don't have other things to be busy with now, no matter whether they cultivate here or cultivate at their place, it's still cultivation.   

Just like this, time passed day by day, and soon almost a month passed.

"What's the situation? A month has passed." Dugu Bo couldn't help but complain.

"It should be Tang Hao adjusting his physical state, his hidden injuries are too serious, and he has been affected during the time he went to the Killing City, so I believe that he hasn't been able to suppress it before completely. Chopping off the limbs will cause a lot of bleeding, and the body will definitely fall into extreme weakness with it, without adjusting well, the slightest carelessness may lead to a violent death, I think Tang Hao is also clear about this." Lin Manshan reassured him.

"The fact that Tang Hao basically hasn't left the cave these days is proof enough that he's preparing himself for it."

"Let's wait a little longer then." Dugu Bo nodded.

While the two of them chatted, on the other side, inside the cave behind the waterfall, Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

"It's almost time." While murmuring, he took out all sorts of props from his spirit tool, knives, bandages, and golden wound medicines all in one go.

Placing things in order, he reached out and sucked towards the top of the stone wall, and the lead box fell steadily into his hands, which he lightly placed in the empty space at the side.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath, stretched out his left foot, and then picked up a wide sharp blade.

Without hesitation, he dropped it.

"Pfft!" With a crunching sound, the left leg was broken at the root. Intense pain came, and Tang Hao couldn't help but frown tightly, his forehead veins also instantly protruded, and his face turned pale as far as the eye could see. However, the action in his hand was non-stop, quickly mobilizing his spirit power to drain the blood from the left side of his body towards the leg wound. At the same time, nine spirit rings appeared on the ground, and the hundred-year spirit ring on the innermost side slowly dissipated.

Using spirit power to expel the blood, part of the mobilized spirit power will also be sent out of the body, and naturally, this will be a sharp decrease in cultivation. This is also the cost of stripping the spirit bone, one's own spirit power is permanently lowered by ten levels, thus selectively discarding a spirit ring.

The one he chose to discard was precisely the hundred-year spirit ring with the lowest age.

Time passed little by little, and when the stagnant blood was almost eliminated, Tang Hao quickly controlled his spirit power to converge back, resisting the continuous loss of blood. Soon, seeing that the bleeding stopped, Tang Hao hurriedly picked up the kettle that had already been opened on the side and poured down clean water, starting to clean the wound.

When it was cleaned up, he picked up the golden wound medicine from his side and sprinkled it on, then began to wrap it with a bandage.

When the bandaging of the wound was finished, Tang Hao's face was already white, and he didn't clean it up, and immediately closed his eyes and started to regulate his breathing.

Right at this moment, outside the cave, "Kiki." A sparrow had taken to the sky and flew away.

The moment Tang Hao swung his sword and chopped off his thigh, the violent soul fluctuation brought about by the pain undoubtedly caught its attention. The subsequent successive soul fluctuations brought about by cleaning up the wound had completely touched off the reporting instruction it had been given by Lin Manshan.

Soon, within the valley on the other side, Lin Manshan jerked his head up, "It's begun!" Calling out softly, his body slowly stood up.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's hurry." Dugu Bo rose to his feet with a swish.

"Hm." Lin Manshan nodded and followed Dugu Bo as he quickly walked out of the cave, then flew towards the waterfall location under Dugu Bo's lead.

It was only a few kilometres away, the two quickly arrived and landed within the forest not far in front of the waterfall.

"Grandpa, let's wait here for now." Lin Manshan gave a slight nod, "At this distance, if he really opens the box and sees what's inside, the emotional fluctuations will be absolutely drastic, and I'll be the first to sense it."

"Let's just wait for him to leave."

"Well, let's save the trouble if we can. Tang Hao can't run away now anyway." Dugu Bo nodded and directly sat down in place.

Lin Manshan also walked to the meadow nearby and sat down.
