Chapter 113: Tang Hao Running Headfirst into the Barrel of a Gun

“Nine Star Hall!”

Furious, Tang Hao stormed out of Shrek Academy and soon arrived at Sunset Forest. Without wasting any words, he let out a fierce roar and summoned his Hao Tian Hammer spirit.

The seventh spirit ring gleamed darkly, and in his fury, Tang Hao immediately unleashed the true form of his spirit. A strong black radiance surged forth, and the Hao Tian Hammer in his hand suddenly expanded tenfold, its massive hammerhead smashing directly toward the walls of Nine Star Hall.

Boom!

With a tremendous crash, the seemingly sturdy wall crumbled into rubble under the assault of the titled Douluo.

“Tang Hao, you’re asking for death!”

Due to a series of recent events, Yang Wudi was in a foul mood and had no interest in refining pills. Moreover, he never forgot who was responsible for the heavy casualties suffered by the Broken One Clan in the past. Hearing the voice of the culprit now, his reaction was lightning fast. Even the titled Douluos Barendaine and Xilufei were no match for his speed, let alone the titled Douluo Dugu Bo.

“Yang Wudi!”

Seeing Tang Hao, Yang Wudi’s eyes burned with hatred like a sworn enemy. Tang Hao, in turn, glared back with bloodshot eyes brimming with killing intent.

In Tang Hao’s narrow mind, Yang Wudi, who had joined Nine Star Hall, was already a traitor to the Hao Tian Sect. What’s more, he had cruelly harmed Tang Hao’s son. As his son had said, “Yang Wudi, you are already on the path to death.”

He refused to consider that because of his own actions, the Broken One Clan had been ambushed by the Spirit Hall, losing more than half their people, and that Yang Wudi’s own younger brother had been captured by the Spirit Hall and his fate remained unknown.

Perhaps in his mind, even if the Broken One Clan was wiped out to the last man except for Yang Wudi, he should still be as loyal as Titan.

The two men, filled with deep hatred for each other, wasted no more words and immediately clashed. Tang Hao lifted his Hao Tian Hammer and brought it down hard toward Yang Wudi.

“Seventh Soul Skill, Spirit True Form!”

Though Yang Wudi despised Tang Hao’s behavior, he could not deny that Tang Hao was the second strongest in the Hao Tian Sect after Tang Chen. Though he had learned from Shura that Tang Hao carried a grievous old injury that severely limited his strength, and thus never fought at full power unless absolutely necessary, Yang Wudi still dared not underestimate him. Immediately, he activated his own Spirit Weapon True Form.

The black light from the seventh spirit ring instantly enveloped both man and spear. The pitch-black hue extended from the Broken Soul Spear to Yang Wudi himself. The spear’s form remained largely unchanged, still the same size as before, but a layer of black flames flickered around it as it met the descending Hao Tian Hammer.

Clang!

The two powerful spirit weapons collided with a deafening roar, nearly shattering ears.

Although Tang Hao did not fight at full strength due to his old injury, as a titled Douluo with level 95 soul power and six full soul bones, his Hao Tian Hammer was slightly superior in quality to the Broken Soul Spear. Ultimately, Yang Wudi could not withstand him.

After struggling to hold his ground for a while, Yang Wudi was slammed to the ground by Tang Hao.

“Yang Wudi, prepare to die!”

With a roar, Tang Hao swung the hammer again, smashing down toward the falling Yang Wudi.

“Tang Hao, how dare you!”

At that moment, another furious shout rang out. It was Dugu Bo arriving on the scene. Without hesitation, he used the soul bone skill in his head — Medusa’s Gaze — firing petrifying rays straight at Tang Hao.

“Dugu Bo, you’ve come at last. You’ll pay for hurting my son too!”

Tang Hao snorted angrily. The hammer he had raised to strike Yang Wudi suddenly changed direction and flew straight at Dugu Bo.

At the same time, Tang Hao’s body and the Hao Tian Hammer were cloaked in a mysterious light — the defensive soul skill granted by the Hao Tian Sect’s soul bone in his right arm: Hao Tian’s Protection.

Tang Hao’s right arm soul bone was a heritage of the Hao Tian Sect, with an age of over 79,000 years, just a step shy of 80,000. By comparison, Dugu Bo’s Medusa soul bone had barely surpassed 60,000 years.

This age disparity meant the petrifying rays could not pierce Hao Tian’s Protection, which Tang Hao easily shattered. The momentum of the Hao Tian Hammer was unstoppable, striking Dugu Bo heavily and sending him crashing to the ground.

“Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, you’ll pay with your lives for harming my son!”

From a superior position, Tang Hao looked down coldly at the battered Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo.

“What arrogance! Since when did Nine Star Hall become a place where anyone can come and cause trouble?”

A cold voice cut through the tension as Radamanthis stepped in front of Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.

Radamanthis had arrived at Sunset Forest shortly after Tang Hao, but after returning, he first hid Xiao Wu away, which delayed him just enough for Tang Hao to act arrogantly for a moment.

“Who are you?” Tang Hao demanded from his lofty position, his tone arrogant.

More arrogant than Tang Hao, Radamanthis sneered, “You don’t deserve to know my name. What you should be thinking about now is how you will die to atone for your sins!”

“You’re courting death!”

Tang Hao’s face twisted with rage at Radamanthis’s disdainful attitude, his features contorted into a fearsome grimace.
