Chapter 113: Running into Tang Hao's Wrath
"Nine Stars Palace!"
The furious Tang Hao stormed out of Shrek Academy and quickly made his way to Sunset Forest. Without wasting any time, he roared, summoning his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
His pitch-black seventh soul ring glowed, and in his fury, Tang Hao immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body. Intense black light surged out, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly expanded tenfold. The massive hammerhead crashed toward the walls of Nine Stars Palace.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, what seemed like an impenetrable wall crumbled into ruins under the attack of a Titled Douluo.
"Tang Hao, you're courting death!"
Yang Wudi, already frustrated from recent events, had no interest in refining pills. Adding to that, the memory of who had caused the near annihilation of the Breaking Clan was always on his mind. The moment he heard the voice of the culprit, he reacted with lightning speed—faster than even fellow Soul Douluo Balendine and Xilufei, let alone Dugu Bo, a fellow Titled Douluo.
"Yang Wudi!"
When Yang Wudi saw Tang Hao, his eyes blazed with hatred, and Tang Hao's eyes were equally bloodshot, brimming with murderous intent.
In Tang Hao's petty heart, Yang Wudi, who had joined Nine Stars Palace, was already a traitor to the Clear Sky Sect. Even more so because he had attacked Tang Hao's son. As his son had said, "Yang Wudi, you're walking the path to death."
Tang Hao refused to consider how his own actions had led to the Breaking Clan being targeted by the Spirit Hall, causing over half of its members to perish. Yang Wudi's younger brother had even been captured by the Spirit Hall, and his fate remained unknown.
Perhaps, in Tang Hao's mind, even if the Breaking Clan had been reduced to just Yang Wudi, he should have remained as loyal as Tai Tan.
Both men, harboring deep hatred for each other, wasted no words. As soon as they met, Tang Hao raised his Clear Sky Hammer and swung it directly at Yang Wudi.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
Although Yang Wudi despised Tang Hao's actions, he had to admit that Tang Hao was the second most powerful figure in Clear Sky Sect history, second only to Tang Chen. Despite knowing from Shura that Tang Hao had old wounds that severely weakened his strength, making him reluctant to fight at full power, Yang Wudi didn't dare underestimate him. He immediately activated his own Weapon Soul True Body.
His seventh soul ring flashed black, enveloping both Yang Wudi and his Broken Soul Spear. The jet-black color spread from the spear to his body, and though the spear's shape didn't change much, it was now surrounded by a layer of black flames as it collided with the descending Clear Sky Hammer.
Clang!
The clash of the two powerful Weapon Souls produced a deafening sound that could have made someone go deaf.
Despite his old injuries, Tang Hao was still a Titled Douluo with level 95 soul power and six complete soul bones. His Clear Sky Hammer also had a slight edge over Yang Wudi's Broken Soul Spear in terms of quality. In the end, Yang Wudi was no match for Tang Hao.
After holding on for a while, Yang Wudi was eventually smashed to the ground by Tang Hao's overwhelming strength.
"Yang Wudi, prepare to die!"
With a furious roar, Tang Hao raised his hammer again, preparing to strike the falling Yang Wudi.
"Tang Hao, how dare you!"
At that moment, another angry voice rang out. It was Dugu Bo, who had just arrived. Without a second thought, he activated his head soul bone's ability, Medusa's Gaze, sending a petrifying beam directly at Tang Hao.
"Dugu Bo, you're here just in time. You were part of the group that hurt my son!" Tang Hao snorted angrily. His hammer, which had been aimed at Yang Wudi, suddenly shifted direction, heading straight for Dugu Bo.
At the same time, Tang Hao's body and the Clear Sky Hammer were covered by a mysterious light—this was Clear Sky Guard, the defensive skill granted by his right arm soul bone.
Tang Hao's right arm soul bone was a Clear Sky Sect inheritance, nearly 79,000 years old, just a step away from 80,000 years. Meanwhile, Dugu Bo's Medusa soul bone had only recently reached 60,000 years.
The gap in soul bone ages made it impossible for the petrifying beam to penetrate Clear Sky Guard. Tang Hao easily shattered the attack, and his Clear Sky Hammer continued its powerful momentum, slamming into Dugu Bo and sending him crashing to the ground as well.
"Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, you both harmed my son. I'll take your lives as payment!"
From above, Tang Hao looked down coldly at the battered Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.
"What arrogance! Since when did Nine Stars Palace become a place for stray dogs to cause trouble?"
A cold voice echoed, and Radamantis appeared, stepping in front of Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.
Radamantis and Tang Hao arrived at Sunset Forest one after the other. However, Radamantis had taken the time to hide Xiao Wu first upon returning, which delayed him just enough to allow Tang Hao a brief moment to show off his arrogance.
"Who are you?" Tang Hao asked in a condescending tone, his attitude filled with disdain as he looked down from his high position.
Though Tang Hao was proud, Radamantis was even prouder. "You're not worthy of knowing my name. What you should be thinking about right now is how you plan to atone for your sins, and what kind of death you deserve."
"You're asking for death!"
Tang Hao was instantly enraged by Radamantis's dismissive attitude. His face contorted in fury, looking terrifying as his features twisted into a snarl.
With a roar, Tang Hao raised his colossal Clear Sky Hammer above his head and swung it down toward Radamantis.
"Let's see who's really asking for death!" Radamantis sneered, unleashing his own Martial Soul True Body. A majestic winged dragon soared toward Tang Hao.
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply. The soul power emanating from Radamantis clearly surpassed level 95, marking him as an opponent beyond the likes of Dugu Bo or Yang Wudi. Even at his peak, Tang Hao knew he would have to tread carefully against such a foe.
"Killing God Domain!"
Without any hesitation, Tang Hao activated his Killing God Domain. A surge of murderous intent erupted around him, so fierce that it felt like the very air was being shredded by his killing aura.
"Tang Hao, do you think you're the only one with a domain?" Radamantis laughed arrogantly as a brilliant light surrounded him. In an instant, a circular domain spread out, colliding violently with Tang Hao's Killing God Domain, vying for control over the surrounding space.
Radamantis, being the son of the God-King Zeus and Europa, naturally possessed divine blood within his martial soul. His martial soul was nearly god-tier, and he, too, possessed a domain—the Imperial Wing Domain—which clashed head-on with Tang Hao's Killing God Domain.
"He has a domain too!"
Radamantis's soul power was one rank higher than Tang Hao's. In such evenly matched conditions, his domain easily overwhelmed Tang Hao's. The Imperial Wing Domain suppressed the Killing God Domain, and Tang Hao's once-surging killing intent sharply plummeted.
Feeling the erosion of his soul power by the Imperial Wing Domain, Tang Hao's face darkened further, and the weight of the situation grew heavier in his eyes.
