Chapter 4: Tang Hao
"F**k!" Bai Yuan looked at Luo San Pao in mid-air, pointing the cannon at him, and cursed.
"Master, don't worry, I'm here." Bai Yu suddenly appeared in front of Bai Yuan, pointing to the sky with her sword finger.
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. He saw a flash of cold light in the sky, and Luo San Pao was directly pierced, and his massive body exploded like a biochemical bomb in mid-air.
Disgusting odor spread, and Yu Xiaogang, who was closest to the explosion, was instantly affected. Bai Yuan was pulled away by Bai Yu with a light leap, retreating to a hundred meters away.
Bai Yuan was dumbfounded.
"Bai Yu, did you just use Sword Qi?"
Bai Yu's wine-red, pure, and clear eyes looked at Bai Yuan, slightly tilting her head and asked, "Master, what is Sword Qi?"
Bai Yuan indicated that he didn't want to talk.
Darn system!
Biased, biased, truly biased!
He cursed inwardly.
But thinking about the increase in the number of people he could bind, and his rapid cultivation progress, he gradually calmed down. He turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.
After Luo San Pao exploded this time, Yu Xiaogang was the closest, followed by Tang San. However, Yu Xiaogang was wearing a mask, which weakened the attack's power by about 80%, but he was still heavily injured as his martial soul was destroyed.
On the other hand, Tang San was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Bai Yuan looked at them and laughed, "Yu Xiaogang, how about that? This is the power of a cultivator. It's the strength of my disciple, and dealing with you is as simple as dealing with a dog."
Yu Xiaogang struggled to stand up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"A cultivator? Your disciple? That's just a joke! With your current strength, you think you can cultivate such a disciple in a few days? Do you take me for a fool? The finger just now was nothing more than a self-created soul skill, just like Little San's." Yu Xiaogang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Bai Yuan disdainfully snorted, "Believe it or not, I can only say, frogs at the bottom of the well, how can you know the vastness of the world? The vastness of the universe?"
Bai Yuan turned his gaze to Tang San, and a murderous intent flashed in his pitch-black eyes.
Just now, Tang San really wanted to kill him.
Tang San struggled to get up, facing Bai Yuan.
"Both of you will die today!"
Bai Yuan approached Tang San.
Both Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's expressions changed.
Suddenly, Bai Yuan's expression also changed drastically. He felt a tremendously powerful aura locking onto him.
This aura contained intense killing intent, and the owner's power was extremely strong. It seemed that as long as he took one more step forward, he would face merciless extermination.
Tang Hao!
The name of this person appeared subconsciously in Bai Yuan's mind.
He suddenly realized.
So Tang Hao had been secretly protecting him while Tang San was with Yu Xiaogang, but there was no opportunity for him to intervene under normal circumstances.
"Today, consider yourselves lucky!" Bai Yuan decisively retreated, taking Bai Yu's hand and running towards the nearby forest.
Tang San looked at his master, and Yu Xiaogang pondered.
On the other side, Bai Yuan ran with Bai Yu, but that terrifying aura still locked onto him, showing no signs of letting go.
"Damn it!" Bai Yuan cursed in his heart.
Bai Yu asked, "Master, they have lost their power, why are we running away?"
Bai Yuan didn't speak, but with an even faster pace, he still couldn't ease the unease in his heart. As time passed, the sense of crisis grew stronger.
As they ran, a tall figure suddenly appeared from the forest, blocking their path.
The person was dressed in a simple gray robe, with messy black hair falling on his shoulders. His face was full of age and experience, and his eyes were clouded as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
"Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao!" Bai Yuan called out the person's title and name with a serious expression.
Tang Hao's clouded eyes showed a trace of surprise, "Do you know me?"
Bai Yuan pretended to be calm and said, "The youngest Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent, Tang San's father. Naturally, I know."
"Oh? Since you know that I am Tang San's father, do you still dare to harm him?" Tang Hao's calm voice sounded in the forest.
Bai Yuan said, "I don't initiate conflicts, but if Tang San wants to kill me, am I supposed to just stand there and wait for death?"
Actually, if Bai Yuan knew that Tang Hao was secretly protecting him, he wouldn't have dared to act. But now that he had acted, he had no regrets.
Tang Hao's face stiffened with a smile, "You're right, but now I'm going to kill you. Do you choose to stand there and wait for death or resist in vain?"
Tang Hao took a step forward, and Bai Yuan felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on him, making him want to kneel.
"Tang Hao, you are too arrogant! Don't you care about fairness? It was Tang San who wanted to kill me first! Now that Tang San is not dead, let my disciple and me leave, and let this matter end!" Bai Yuan reluctantly spoke up.
Tang Hao snorted coldly, "Fairness? On the Douluo Continent, strength is the only fairness. Today, I want to see, after I kill you, who dares to come to me for fairness."
A horrifying aura of soul power burst out, and Bai Yuan felt that his body was about to shatter.
"I won't allow you to bully my master!"
Beside him, Bai Yu formed hand seals, and a blue lotus appeared in front of her. She moved her body to shield Bai Yuan, barely blocking some of the soul power's pressure.
Given Bai Yu's current cultivation, she had reached her limit to achieve this level.
"Alert! Detected someone attempting to humiliate the host in front of the host's disciple. Activating 'Master's Dignity Cannot Be Tarnished' hidden function..."
"Alert! 'Master's Dignity Cannot Be Tarnished' function activated successfully. When the host is humiliated in front of the disciple, the host's cultivation will temporarily surpass the one trying to humiliate the host."
"Alert! The host's cultivation has been raised to the Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection."
Bai Yuan heard the cold mechanical voice in his mind and suddenly felt a perfectly round Golden Core forming inside his body, brimming with tremendous power.
The soul power pressure from before seemed like nothing in front of the current Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan was delighted.
So, the system had this hidden function.
It seemed like the system wasn't biased after all!
Isn't this function equivalent to invincibility?
Wait, what
if the other person doesn't humiliate him and doesn't do it in front of his disciple? Bai Yuan would still be defeated instantly.
Bai Yu also felt the invisible pressure on her dissipating, and a tall figure stood in front of her.
"Master!" Bai Yu called out.
Bai Yuan smiled and said, "Bai Yu, it's okay now. Leave everything to your master."
"Okay." The little girl nodded obediently.
Bai Yuan turned his gaze to Tang Hao, only to see him raising his right hand, and a thick black light emerged from his palm, gradually condensing into a black hammer. Nine soul rings rose from beneath him: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red. A total of nine soul rings, including one red one, appeared under his feet.
Even so, Tang Hao's expression became extremely serious.
He felt a threat from Bai Yuan that he had never experienced before. Even when he was surrounded by Title Douluos, he didn't feel such a strong sense of crisis.
"Bai Yuan, let's stop here! Your attack earlier was justified, and you didn't cause any harm to Tang San. Let's end this matter here," Tang Hao said.
Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Why did these words sound so familiar?
