Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Ah Yin

"Uncle Er Ming?"

Seeing Er Ming appear in front of him, Su Wulin was first delighted, then began to worry about Er Ming.

The figure in front of him, dressed in a cloak, was not someone to be trifled with.

Judging from his current stance, he intended to make a move against him.

Initially, he thought his savior had arrived.

But considering Er Ming's cultivation, Su Wulin gave up that idea.

Er Ming's current strength, although reaching a hundred thousand years, was still much inferior to Xiao Xu.

After all, Xiao Xu had various benefits given by Su Bai, while Er Ming could only rely on his own cultivation.

The cultivation of soul beasts is very slow.

He might not necessarily be a match for that cloaked figure!

Er Ming nodded slightly, then stared at the cloaked figure with a severe expression, saying sharply, "You're not allowed to harm Su Wulin."

Heh!

The cloaked figure sneered at his words.

A pair of blood-red eyes stared at Su Wulin behind Er Ming, and he said slowly, "When you were harming my son, did you think about the consequences?"

Hearing this, Su Wulin suddenly realized.

So, this person was the villain's father, who wanted to harm his mother.

Now, he's here to settle the score for his son.

Su Wulin's gaze was firm as he said, "If there's a next time, I'll still make a move against him."

Just because he promised his father to protect his mother.

Even if it means death, he would still do it.

"Haha, good, you've got guts!"

Tang Hao laughed heartily, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

But it still couldn't change his intention to make a move.

He approached Er Ming and Su Wulin step by step.

With each step, his momentum grew stronger.

Er Ming's gaze became serious as he said directly to Su Wulin, "Su Wulin, go find Su Bai! I'll hold him off."

"No, I won't leave Uncle Er Ming behind and escape."

Su Wulin shook his head firmly at his words.

Er Ming was like a guardian to him, and he couldn't bring himself to leave Er Ming behind and flee.

Ah!

Er Ming shook his head helplessly.

Su Wulin's temperament stood unwavering, a testament to his stubborn resolve.

Boss, where are you?

"Well said!"

Suddenly, a familiar praise came from afar.

Su Wulin and Er Ming were both overjoyed at the same time.

They were very familiar with that voice.

It was Su Bai's voice.

In an instant, the voice vanished, replaced by the looming presence of a colossal black dragon shadow overhead.

The enormous black shadow instantly enveloped them in darkness.

"Dad?"

Su Wulin stared blankly at the enormous dragon in the sky, murmuring to himself.

Since his birth, he had never seen Su Bai's true form.

Although he knew Su Bai's proper form was a dragon, seeing it with his eyes left him amazed by its majesty.

Dad! is so impressive!

Su Wulin's eyes sparkled with excitement as he gazed at Su Bai.

Su Bai nodded his massive head and then turned his attention to Tang Hao.

"So, the older one steps in when the younger one loses a fight?"

"You really have no shame. A Title Douluo attacking a Soul Elder? How could you stoop so low?"

Tang Hao remained silent.

In truth, ever since Su Bai's appearance, Tang Hao had been overwhelmed by Su Bai's imposing presence.

Ignoring Tang Hao's reaction, Su Bai continued, "Since you're so eager to fight, I'll gladly oblige!"

With that, Su Bai let out a thunderous roar.

The sheer force of it made Tang Hao's expression change, and he instantly felt the urge to retreat.

If it had been an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Tang Hao might have been confident.

But Su Bai was no ordinary soul beast.

His sheer presence alone was a hundred, no, a thousand times more powerful than any typical hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Before any blows were exchanged, Tang Hao could already foresee the outcome.

Without a word, Tang Hao turned to flee.

Seeing this, Su Bai sneered, "Do you think you can just walk away unscathed after trying to harm my son in the Star Dou Forest? What a delusion."

With that, Su Bai pursued Tang Hao.

At the same time, his Indestructible Azure Dragon Claw began to form in his hand.

In no time, the dragon claw struck out, its overwhelming and unstoppable force surging towards Tang Hao.

Tang Hao was shocked.

He hadn't anticipated such a powerful attack right off the bat.

"Ring Detonation!"

"Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Tang Hao was forced to use his ultimate techniques to defend himself.

But even his desperate struggle only slightly mitigated the outcome of being engulfed by the tremendous energy.

In an instant, Tang Hao was swallowed by the overwhelming force.

Splat!

When the energy dissipated, Tang Hao's battered body was revealed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he was a Title Douluo and had used Ring Detonation and the Great Sumeru Hammer to lessen the brunt of the attack.

Otherwise, he would have been killed instantly.

Tang Hao's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had always considered himself one of the strongest among the Title Douluo!

He was also the youngest Title Douluo in all Douluo Continent, and this was his pride!

But now...

He couldn't withstand even a single blow from this soul beast!

The sheer force of that strike was something only his grandfather Tang Chen or someone like Qian Daoliu could have withstood safely!

He knew he was defeated.

He had only come to settle the score for his son.

He had waited until Su Wulin left the core area, hoping to avoid Su Bai's detection.

But in the end, Su Bai found him.

Now, he regretted his actions.

Su Bai transformed into his human form.

Looking at Tang Hao with cold detachment, he said, "I heard you possess a Blue Silver Emperor seed. Hand it over, and I'll spare your life."

"Never!"

Tang Hao refused without hesitation.

That seed was tied to his wife; how could he agree to give it away?

"Refuse, and you will die!"

Su Bai wasted no time with further threats, ready to strike.

Tang Hao's expression changed several times.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "I agree, just ensure you keep your word."

Even in the face of death, his fear was palpable.

Su Bai scoffed, "Relax, if I truly wanted you dead, I wouldn't bother talking."

Father and son, both shameless in their ways, nearly identical in demeanor.

Tang Hao must be convincing himself that once he grows stronger, he will retrieve the seed and kill Su Bai.

But deep down, his fear of death was undeniable.

This was just an excuse he told himself to mask his fear.

Su Bai despised such people.

In the end, Tang Hao led Su Bai to a secluded valley, the location of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Ah Yin..."

Su Bai's heart leaped with joy upon obtaining the seed.

The Blue Silver Emperor!

He had coveted it for a long time, and now it was finally his.

Tang Hao pleaded with Su Bai to protect Ah Yin, stating she was his wife.

Su Bai chuckled at this, nodding in agreement.

Of course, he would protect Ah Yin...

Because soon, she would be his.

"Wow, Dad is so powerful!"

Watching Su Bai depart, Su Wulin exclaimed in admiration.

He had just witnessed his father defeat a Title Douluo in a single strike, showcasing incredible strength.

Er Ming laughed heartily, "Of course, that's our leader!"

Su Wulin's gaze was persistent, "I'll work hard to reach my father's level one day."

"Uh, Xiao Wulin! Maybe we should set a more achievable goal first? How about catching up with your Uncle Da Ming and me?"
