Chapter 280: The Chimera Head Bone of One Body with Two Bones

"Relying on your own strength?" Tang Hao swept a disdainful glance at Meng Yiran. "You think that just by yourself, without Long Gong's help, you could really beat my son? Do you think you are that Flying General? You are truly overestimating yourself; a little girl, yet so arrogant and conceited!"

Meng Yiran was moved to tears, filled with grievance. "Compared to the Flying General, I am indeed nothing, but I am not the kind of despicable person who cheats in a Spirit Fighting match. Do you have proof? In that battle, my level was higher than Tang San's, and at that time he only used the Blue Silver Grass, that trash martial soul, without using the Clear Sky Hammer. How could I not have beaten him?"

At this moment, even facing Tang Hao, Meng Yiran gathered her courage to argue her case. Even if she were to die in a moment, she wanted to die with a clean reputation, especially since she could not let her most respected grandfather be stained with an unjust accusation.

"Little girl, are you questioning me? Since I said you couldn't beat my son, what need is there for any proof?" Tang Hao said unhappily. Since when did a girl not even at the Soul Ancestor level dare to speak to him like this? It seemed he had truly been inactive on the continent for too long, causing the world to forget the majesty of the Clear Sky Douluo.

Tang Hao indeed could not produce evidence; after all, it was something that happened many years ago. But with his vision as a Title Douluo, could he really have judged wrong?

This Meng Yiran, let alone not being able to beat Tang San when they were both at the second ring, even if she were at the third ring against Tang San's second ring, her chances of winning would be slim.

His son's peculiar Self-created Soul Skills were things even he admired; how could they be countered by a little girl?

Aside from cheating, Meng Yiran had no possibility of victory.

It must be said that Tang Hao's judgment was quite accurate. Except for finding the wrong target, everything else was exactly as he thought. If Dugu Bo had not secretly intervened at the time, Meng Yiran would never have been able to beat Tang San.

It was just that Meng Yiran herself did not know it.

"Scoundrel! So you, this fellow, have no proof and are merely attacking my heart!" Long Gong was suddenly furious. He assumed Tang Hao had just made up an excuse to cause him trouble.

"Tang Hao, if you want to find trouble with this old man, just come. Why make up so many excuses? Today, this old man and my wife will accompany you to the end!"

Having said that, Long Gong's eight spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—emerged, his aura rising.

"Heh!" Seeing this, Tang Hao smiled disdainfully. A mere Spirit Douluo, who hadn't even reached the standard optimal spirit ring configuration, dared to clamor before him? He likewise revealed his spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—his powerful aura instantly suppressing Long Gong.

Long Gong felt as if a force of nearly ten thousand catties had suddenly pressed down on his shoulders; if not for his profound cultivation, he would likely have knelt by now.

For instance, Meng Yiran behind him was exactly like that. In the face of Tang Hao's Killing God Domain, she, a Soul Elder, could not even stand normally.

"I fear it will be difficult to end this well today," Long Gong said softly. "Old woman, in a moment we will join forces to execute the Dragon Snake Combined Attack to block Tang Hao. Yiran, run as far as you can, never look back, run toward the Gu Lei Kingdom, and seek the protection of the Profound Ice Crown."

Facing Tang Hao, Long Gong had not the slightest confidence, even though his and She Po's Dragon Snake Combined Attack was said to be able to fight a Title Douluo.

But not all Title Douluo were of equal strength. Their fusion skill might have a chance against an ordinary Title Douluo of level 91 or 92, but facing a Super Douluo like Tang Hao, holding out for two hammer strikes would be considered decent.

He could only find a way to secure a chance of life for his granddaughter.

"Long Gong, stop dreaming. In front of me, your granddaughter wanting to escape is wishful thinking." Tang Hao sensed Long Gong's intent and threatened coldly, "Long Gong, actually, I didn't intend to kill you all today. As long as you agree to one condition, I can let you go; otherwise, not even a chicken or dog will be left alive."

"Tang Hao, what exactly do you want? Just say it straight." Long Gong realized that Tang Hao's seeking revenge was a pretense; he might be using revenge as an excuse to demand something from him.

In fact, Tang Hao's goal was, of course, still soul bones.

In this world, there were undoubtedly three ways to obtain soul bones the fastest. The first two were mass-hunting Spirit Beasts and killing other people who possessed soul bones to make them drop.

He had already done both of these, obtaining three soul bones, and the harvest was quite good.

As for the last way, it was to obtain the collections of those great families. For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hid quite a few soul bones, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was said to have several ancestral soul bones, and the Spirit Hall had the most soul bones in the world.

But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the Sword and Bone Title Douluo, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had the Thunder Douluo, and the Spirit Hall had more Title Douluo than one could count on two hands.

He could only settle for the next best thing and choose those secondary families or sects.

It just so happened that the Dragon Snake Family had offended Tang Hao twice in the Star Dou Great Forest and the canyon. Using this as an excuse, he had a legitimate reason to choose to take the Dragon Snake Family as his target.

This point was exactly what Xun Yu had deduced, which was why he sent people to Gu Lei and Heaven Dou to report the news and ask for Title Douluo to help.

"Long Gong, I have heard a rumor that your ancestors had a fortuitous encounter. When he advanced to Spirit Douluo, he hunted a 50,000-year-old two-headed Chimera. At that time, he not only obtained a spirit ring, but also luckily produced a miracle among soul bones: one body with two bones. The Chimera's two heads each dropped a head bone containing the bloodlines of dragon and snake, right?" Although Tang Hao was asking, his tone was clearly a declarative sentence; he was obviously confident about this matter.

In the Douluo Shijie, the Chimera was a mysterious creature, said to be a "dragon and snake" hybrid created by ancient gods, and was a superior race among Spirit Beasts.

This kind of Spirit Beast was undoubtedly the most suitable for the Dragon Snake Family.

Furthermore, the situation of one Spirit Beast producing two soul bones could be said to be unique. Such an opportunity was something even Nan Feihuang and the original Tang San did not have.

Currently, it was known that only one person had enjoyed such treatment, and that was the Pope Bibi Dong.

Her left and right arm bones came from the same 100,000-year-old Death Spider Emperor. Soul bones formed in this way could be said to complement each other, and these two soul bones were also one of her greatest killing moves among her attack methods, with terrifying power.

It was just a pity that the two bones produced by this Chimera were both head bones, so they could not be absorbed at the same time.

But the Dragon Snake Family had always been one dragon and one snake; the husband and wife could just happen to inherit the dragon-type head bone and the snake-type head bone respectively, which could be called a perfect match, and they were the Dragon Snake Family's greatest heirloom.

Currently, these two head bones were not on the heads of Long Gong and She Po. Back then, when Long Gong's father reached the end of his life, his son had already been born, so Long Gong kept the two soul bones, preparing to leave them for his son and daughter-in-law.

Who would have known that both his son and daughter-in-law would die young, leaving him heartbroken.

But he still did not absorb them, instead keeping them, preparing to pass them on to his granddaughter and her future husband when she grew to be above a Soul King.
