Chapter 11: Sacrifice

In no time I was able to get rid of the troops they brought, probably out of intimidation. Spirit Hall Whale ordered the other two Title Douluo to attack.

The waves of battle spread throughout the area, I could hear the voices of the Spirit Beasts panicking. But that's not important, I'm currently facing three Title Douluo at once.

The battle was extremely fierce, I was directly suppressed by the three of them. Even though Qian Xunji is a ruffian his strength is real!!!

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

The roaring sound of battle continued to be heard every time we clashed, the tide of battle was getting worse. I'm afraid that the powerful Spirit Beasts will also panic in fear and attack the residential areas.

I was pressed down, slowly I was pushed back. I've used my power, all my experience, and all my techniques. But I still lost the fight.

I continued to receive their attacks, the injuries on my body were quite severe. No, not bad enough but really bad, it can't be like this. I can't collapse until Ah Yin comes out, and I will take him to escape.

When my mind was diverted, suddenly a punch landed on my chest and sent me crashing into the ground.

*ouch* *ouch* *ouch*

I coughed up blood several times, this time the wound was really bad. I'm not sure I can survive this life and death battle.

But at the very least... At least Ah Yin and my son should manage to survive. I have to save them no matter what!!!

I steeled my resolve and stood up again, gripping the enormous Clear Sky Hammer. That's right, this battle won't end while I'm alive!!!

Suddenly I heard the sound of a door opening from behind me. I glanced back and saw Ah Yin walking over holding the baby.

Ah Yin looked very pale and limp, that's for sure. She just gave birth, must have needed a lot of strength. But that's no reason for him to leave!!!

"Ah Yin, what are you doing. It's dangerous here, come back!!!"

I screamed loudly, now I'm so frustrated. The feeling of not being able to protect the person I love was so piercing to my heart.

But Ah Yin ignored my shout and continued walking towards me. When he got to my side he turned to the bastard Pope and said in a low voice.

"I have an offer for you, Pope of Spirit Hall..."

"....."

Qian Xunji didn't answer, only silence signaled Ah Yin to continue with her bid.

"Don't you want the Spirit Ring to be 100,000 years old from me? But that's useless, because I have high regeneration ability."

Ah Yin continued his offer very calmly, but I don't like this. The direction this conversation was going in gave me a bad feeling.

" What do you mean? Say it directly, don't beat around the bush!!!"

It seemed the Spirit Hall Whale was not in a good mood.

" What I'm trying to say is, you can't kill me. No matter what you do, you still can't kill me unless I kill myself..."

As I expected, Ah Yin was planning on sacrificing himself. Can't!!! I swore to protect her!!!

"That's why I make this offer. I will turn myself in but you must let Tang Hao and my son go!!!"

This is the first time I heard Ah Yin speak in such a loud tone.

"Hahahaha, alright. I'll let him go, but you have to hand over your Spirit Ring."

I can't believe it, Spirit Hall's Whale is a jerk. There's no way he keeps his word, he must be lying!!!

When I wanted to warn Ah Yin, he handed the baby he was holding to me.

"Ah Yin, he must be lying, don't believe him!!!"

" I know..."

You know then why? We better run!!!

"That's why, Tang Hao. I want you to absorb my Spirit Ring. I don't want anyone else to absorb it."

Why? Why was he so persistent in sacrificing himself?

I'm currently at level 89 Spirit Douluo, I'm facing a Bottleneck. To break through level 90 I have to absorb Spirit Ring.

Then before I knew it... He had killed himself, with his last words.

"Tang Hao, I want you to be safe with our child... Please look after and take good care of him."

A red Spirit Ring, which signifies a 100,000 year old Spirit Ring. The number one thing that many Spirit Masters desire the most.

With a dejected feeling, I absorbed this red Spirit Ring. It's all my fault, if I was a little bit stronger. I might be able to protect him.

If I were stronger, I could protect him and he wouldn't have to make this kind of sacrifice.

With feelings of sadness, anger, and revenge. All this becomes hopelessness.

All the mixed emotions created a despair that made me lose control. While hugging my son and Ah Yin.

"Damn he tricked me, how dare he!!! Quickly attack him, before he finishes attacking that Spirit Ring!!!"

Qian Xunji gave a commanding shout With an angry feeling. But my anger is bigger than him, he has taken away the most important thing in my life.

Usually absorbing Spirit Rings takes a long time, but this time was a special case because I absorbed Spirit Rings that were voluntarily surrendered.

I managed to absorb Ah Yin's Spirit Ring in no time, it didn't take much effort.

When I opened my eyes, two Title Douluo were already in front of me. Prepared to attack, but faster than their attacks, I already attacked them.

Swinging my hammer, I pounded the two Title Douluo until they flew away crashing into several large trees.

I'm sure they were pretty badly injured.

After absorbing a 100,000 year old Spirit Ring, all of my injuries have recovered. Not only that, I've also gotten stronger!!!

It is said if one absorbs a 100,000 year old Spirit Ring to break through to become a level 90 Title Douluo. Their strength will soar up to level 95 Title Douluo.

And now that I've broken through to Title Douluo by absorbing a 100,000 year old Spirit Ring, my strength is now equivalent to level 95!!!

The second round had just started, though I couldn't control myself.

I was too angry that I lost control, I continued to attack the two Title Douluo without waiting for them to recover. Coupled with Spirit Hall's Pope joining the attack.

Even though my strength was raised to level 95, it didn't mean I could face three Title Douluo at once.

This is the hardest and fiercest fight in my life.

I kept attacking them, getting them hurt. But I also got hit by their attacks. I knew facing three Title Douluo opponents at once was extremely difficult.

The end of the battle was me who was heavily injured, I needed a long time to recover. In maybe five years I haven't even recovered.

I managed to kill one Title Douluo, and injured another. More appropriate than injuring would be me smashing his face but he still received heavy injuries.

And as for Spirit Hall's Whale himself, I can only cause him serious, very serious injuries. Perhaps out of fear that their Pope died, they decided to retreat.

But that's better, because I myself have also been so badly injured that I won't be able to continue that fight. If that continues then I will die.

Spirit Hall's troops escape with Qian Xunji, Spirit Hall's dying pope. Now he could even be killed by an ordinary person.

When they were out of sight, I fell to the ground and hugged my son.

Before Ah Yin sacrificed himself, he said that our child would be named Tang San.

Lying on the ground due to exhaustion and severe injuries. I can only hope for a short rest to recover a bit of strength.

After a few hours, I stood up and intended to leave. After this incident Spirit Hall will definitely have an extremely great grudge against me, though I also have it towards them.

Spirit Hall will definitely be intensively searching for me throughout the continent. Because of that I had to live in a remote village.

But before I go, I remember. In the moments of the fight before Ah Yin sacrificed himself. I remember there was a caravan that was attacked by Spirit Beasts. It must be the Spirit Beasts who are afraid of the fight between me and Spirit Hall.

I don't know if anyone has survived from the caravan, but I should at least check. The cause for them being attacked was me, in other words if they died then I had the right to take the blame.

When I got to the caravan, things were really sad. I saw corpses everywhere and Blood like floodwaters.

I used my spirit power to check if anyone was still alive, the result was that I found tiny signs of life from one carriage.

I checked and entered the train, there was nothing... I tried to search, until I opened the blanket. There lay a baby, maybe about two months old.

It's my fault, he lost his whole family because of me. There's nothing I can do about it, I'm not a god who can raise the dead.

So at least, to make amends for me. I will take care of this child together with Tang San. If you only increase one child will not be different from keeping one child.

Before leaving, I buried the bodies of those who died. One of them is a pair of lovers who died hugging each other. If possible I also wanted to die like this with Ah Yin at that time.

But now that I have a task, I have to take care of my son Tang San, and this kid I just met.

Somehow I felt that this couple was the parents of this child, so I gave him my respects and apologies.

After burying all the bodies, I left with the two children I brought with me. I want to hide in a remote village so Spirit Hall will have a hard time tracking me.
