Chapter 116

The soul power impact from the clash caused extremely severe damage to the surrounding buildings, especially Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, which is overbearing and its force is very strong.

It caused a certain degree of shock damage to everything around.

The lightning-formed tip of Yang Poxue's Ice Gallbladder Breaking Soul Spear further increased the Breaking Soul Spear's attack and penetration; the lightning gave it violent, rampaging power, making Tang Hao feel his arm go numb.

His eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, but Tang Hao's killing intent quickly grew deeper.

Even without being able to use soul skills, they could block my furious strike; although I didn't use my full strength, this was enough to make one's blood run cold.

How far will Yang Poxue's strength go in the future? After leaving Shalu Zhidu, Yang Poxue, who possesses the Slaughter God Domain, will surely undergo a qualitative leap in strength.

Whether in rank or combat power, they will become an obstacle for the Clear Sky Sect.

We must eliminate all dangers before this girl has fully grown.

Tang Hao stood in the void, holding the Clear Sky Hammer with one hand as its seventh soul ring lit up; he was clearly about to use his martial soul true form.

At that moment, a blood-colored figure slipped from afar onto the battlefield, blocking Yang Poxue and Tang Hao.

"Tang Hao, you cannot move her; take any grudges outside Shalu Zhidu. On my turf, if you want to break my rules, you know the consequences." The Slaughter King's blood-colored eyes flashed, and his words gave no ground.

Yang Yun's flames restrained the Asura God's divine power erosion and Tang Chen's own consciousness.

The blood-colored nine-headed bat king can now exert eighty percent of Tang Chen's strength, and besides, this is his home turf; if Tang Hao doesn't give him face.

The blood-colored nine-headed bat king can completely suppress it.

Offending Tang Hao is trivial, but Yang Yun could hoist the raging Tang Chen and hammer him.

He knows which is more important, the blood-colored nine-headed bat king.

Tang Hao was confronting the Slaughter King, but upon seeing the Slaughter King's face, Tang Hao chose to yield.

Nothing else, because the Slaughter King's face is none other than the grandfather I have been desperately searching for days—Tang Chen.

But now it seems my grandfather has lost himself; I don't know whether it's due to the killing aura of Shalu Zhidu or the divine trial of this region.

Now I cannot even recognize myself, nor my Clear Sky Hammer.

Yang Poxue stood firmly on the ground, holding her Ice Gallbladder Breaking Soul Spear, gazing at Tang Hao.

Even without soul skills, Yang Poxue still relied on her powerful breakthrough and strength to exchange a few blows with Tang Hao head-on.

Tang Hao was also slightly injured by her soul bone skill.

Unexpectedly to Yang Poxue, the Slaughter King stepped forward to block Tang Hao's move; this made Yang Poxue's admiration for Yang Yun rise another notch.

Yang Yun is truly unfathomable; having such a sect master means one need fear nothing wherever one goes.

The Slaughter King stared at Tang Hao: "If I catch you striking the Ice Spear Witch again, Shalu Zhidu will permanently blacklist you; eternal exile."

Tang Hao's face instantly darkened, becoming extremely unsightly; he could only put away his Clear Sky Hammer.

The Slaughter King usually pays no attention to affairs, let alone stopping a Slaughter God from slaughtering wicked intruders into Shalu Zhidu.

Today he actually broke his habit and stepped forward to stop me.

Is it because of Yang Yun?

No wonder the Slaughter King has become so tough; previously his attitude toward the Slaughter God was not this stern.

Tang Hao suddenly recalled that Yang Yun also possesses the Slaughter God Domain; meaning the other side can also enter Shalu Zhidu and use soul skills.

If Yang Poxue were killed here, Shalu Zhidu would likely have to face Yang Yun's wrath. Having figured this out, Tang Hao turned and left to check Yang Poxue's win count: seventy-three consecutive victories, astonishing speed.

Probably leaving Shalu Zhidu to become a Slaughter God would also take only a little over half a year.

It's not that Yang Poxue's strength needs half a year to win the remaining twenty-seven straight victories; rather, in the Hundred Battles to Godhood, the time required to gather ten people grows longer the further along one gets.

More than half a year is already the time Tang Hao calculated to come ahead for an ambush; the time spent lying in wait is included as well.

If luck is bad and we can't gather ten people, the final few matches might have to wait a month or more before a fight can occur.

Tang Hao looked at the blood-colored nine-headed bat king bearing his grandfather's face, recalled the Clear Sky Hammer; he silently thought: "I must quickly find a way to awaken my grandfather's consciousness, then no one will stop me from killing Yang Poxue."

"By then I could even help my grandfather complete the divine trial of Shalu Zhidu."

Although I have never witnessed the power of a god, but who is his grandfather? None other than the once invincible Tang Chen of the earth.

Years ago, after his grandfather went out to seek the god's inheritance, he vanished without a trace; now he appears in Shalu Zhidu and has become the Slaughter King.

It's not hard to imagine that his grandfather must have found Shalu Zhidu's inheritance and inherited part of the god's power.

But perhaps an accident occurred during the inheritance, leading to his grandfather's current situation.

Tang Hao couldn't think of an effective method for the moment; perhaps this could serve as an opportunity to return to the family.

Regarding the grandfather issue, the Clear Sky Sect currently lacks top-tier combat power; it certainly won't treat me as harshly as before.

Or rather, we might be able to strive for a better attitude.

Tang Hao is not unaware of what expressions the clan elders will show upon seeing him; likely the deaths of his father, elder brother, and elders will be blamed on him.

But for my grandfather's awakening, I can no longer afford to worry about that.

If my grandfather could return to the Clear Sky Sect, it would be like a shot of adrenaline pumped into the sect; the impact of my elder brother's death could also be lessened.

Having figured this out, Tang Hao's eyes turned cold and he turned and left.

The Slaughter King doesn't know Tang Hao's thoughts; since the other party left, there's no need for him to linger.

Moreover, he has no desire to waste words with Yang Poxue; each additional Slaughter God actually weakens his own strength.

And it threatens his own position.

But Yang Yun's threat is far greater than these, so the Slaughter King, against his will, steps in front of Tang Hao.

Yang Poxue likewise didn't linger, merely avoiding Tang Hao's departure direction; she still needs to stay in peak condition for the next match.

But with Tang Hao this unstable factor present, in future battles she will likely need to focus more on reducing soul power consumption.

Ensure that after leaving the duel arena, she will have sufficient soul power to resist Tang Hao, who might jump out at any moment to ambush her.

That recent impact directly shattered the ice armor of the Ice Spur Whirlwind Turtle; if the attack were stronger.

It would probably shatter outright.

High-intensity combat and pressure brought Yang Poxue a stronger oppression than when facing nine opponents.

If she weren't worried that a careless mistake would get her killed, she really would like to spar with Tang Hao again just to see.

Maybe she could break through her Title Douluo bottleneck.
