Chapter 62: Is it because I caused you to lose a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?

Just then, in the sky, a figure in white robes slowly emerged. He wore a plain white robe, his long hair like a waterfall, his face as handsome as an immortal, and two faint wisps of Immortal Qi circled his body, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.

His appearance seemed to make the entire world go quiet. Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to him, and a sense of indescribable awe arose in their hearts.

Zhexian's gaze swept calmly over Tang Hao, his voice tranquil and distant: "Tang Hao, you seek me?"

Tang Hao's gaze was as sharp as a blade, staring fixedly at the white-robed figure in the sky, the fury in his heart erupting like a volcano.

His fists were clenched tight, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to its master's rage.

"Zhexian!" Tang Hao's voice boomed like thunder, filled with endless hatred and killing intent, "You finally dare to show yourself!"

Zhexian stood in the void, his expression indifferent, as if nothing in the world could shake his state of mind. He lowered his head slightly, looked calmly at Tang Hao, and said faintly: "Fellow Daoist, it has been many years; your temper has become increasingly irritable."

"Cut the crap!" Tang Hao roared, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer violently. The massive hammer shadow, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, headed straight for Zhexian. "Today, I will take your life to avenge the grudge of that year!"

Zhexian raised his hand lightly and flicked his fingertip, an invisible force instantly dissolving the Clear Sky Hammer's offensive into nothingness. His movement was casual, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust.

"Fellow Daoist is still as impulsive as you were back then."

"Impulsive?" Tang Hao sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "Back then, you snatched my wife A Yin, caused my family to be torn apart, and trapped me in that hellish place for years! If my elder brother hadn't accidentally broken in and we hadn't fought to escape, we would have long since been tortured to death by you! How can you expect me not to be impulsive?!"

Zhexian frowned slightly, seemingly having not considered this variable.

Originally, the Killing Array had relied only on the first Immortal Qi Embryo to be set up, so its full power had not been unleashed.

However, it had no impact.

Yet, the people below were instantly filled with shock upon hearing Tang Hao's words.

He had trapped His Excellency Clear Sky in a place several years ago?

Then just how strong was his power?

"Dad... he was trapped in some place for these past few years... it was all because of him!" Tang San clenched his fists, his gaze fixed firmly on the white-robed man in the sky.

"Third Brother..." Xiao Wu wanted to offer some comfort, but she remembered some things from the past.

She recognized this white-robed man.

Zhexian!

The bad guy who tricked her into eating rabbit meat several years ago!!!

Later, she searched through all the roast pork, but never tasted that flavor again... until she ate roast rabbit meat once more...

Zhexian stood in the void, his expression indifferent, as if nothing in the world could shake his state of mind. He lowered his head slightly, looked calmly at Tang Hao, and said faintly: "Fellow Daoist, do you wish to challenge me today?"

Tang Hao sneered, his eyes full of mockery and hatred: "Challenge? Today I am here to take your life!"

Tang Hao's eyes burned with raging fire, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand emitted a low hum, as if it felt its master's inner anger and killing intent.

He stomped on the void, his figure charging toward Zhexian like lightning, the Clear Sky Hammer held high, Soul Rings flashing, and the Seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Clear Sky True Body!"

The Clear Sky Hammer expanded instantly, transforming into a massive red giant hammer, lightning flickering across the hammer body, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Tang Hao's aura surged accordingly, his whole person seeming to merge with the Clear Sky Hammer, his momentum like a rainbow, bearing down on Zhexian.

Zhexian remained indifferent, lightly raising the Jade Flute in his hand and brushing his fingertip across it, the Jade Flute emitting a clear, resonant sound.

As the flute sound rang out, countless pink petals suddenly appeared around Zhexian, drifting down like rain and circling him to form a beautiful yet lethal barrier.

"Fellow Daoist, why be so persistent?" Zhexian's voice flowed like a clear spring, yet carried a hint of coldness.

"Cut the crap! Today I will kill you!" Tang Hao roared, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer down violently; the massive hammer shadow, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, headed straight for Zhexian.

Zhexian smiled slightly and waved the Jade Flute gently, the petals around him instantly condensing into a flower wall, blocking the path of the hammer shadow.

"Boom—!"

The hammer shadow collided with the flower wall, erupting with a deafening roar. The petals scattered and danced, yet were not completely shattered. Zhexian's figure remained motionless, still standing in the void, his expression indifferent.

"Heaven Horned Ant Precious Technique—Extreme of Strength!"

Zhexian whispered softly, and a golden phantom suddenly appeared around him; the phantom resembled a giant ant, yet it radiated a terrifying pressure.

The phantom merged with Zhexian, his strength instantly surging, and with a wave of the Jade Flute, the petals transformed into countless sharp blades, sweeping toward Tang Hao like a rainstorm.

Tang Hao's expression darkened, the Clear Sky Hammer spun violently, and the Eighth Soul Ring lit up.

"Eighth Soul Skill—Haotian Shield!"

The Clear Sky Hammer spun frantically, forming layers of shields to protect Tang Hao within.

However, Zhexian's attack far exceeded his expectations.

Those countless petal-blades each contained terrifying God Level power, as if they could tear through space and penetrate any defense.

"Sshh—!"

The petal-blades poured down like a rainstorm, and the moment the Haotian Shield touched the petals, it was torn apart as easily as thin paper.

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically; he felt an irresistible force, and a sense of death surged into his heart.

"Boom—!"

The Haotian Shield collapsed completely, Tang Hao's figure was struck by the petal-blades, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly wilting.

"Dad!" Tang San's eyes were about to split, wanting to rush up to rescue him, but he was grabbed by Xiao Wu.

"Third Brother, it's too dangerous, don't be impulsive!!" Xiao Wu's voice was filled with anxiety and fear.

Zhexian stood in the void, his expression still indifferent, as if everything just now had been done with a casual wave. He waved the Jade Flute lightly, and the petal-blades instantly dissipated, turning into specks of light that vanished between heaven and earth.

Tang Hao struggled to climb up from the ground, blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes still burned with an unyielding flame.

"Zhexian... don't you think... don't you think you can make me admit defeat!" Tang Hao's voice was hoarse and low, yet carried endless hatred and determination.

Zhexian shook his head slightly, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes: "Why be so persistent? The events of that year were merely one link in the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. That hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor had long since intended to sacrifice her life to repel the enemy, and my appearance saved you all."

"Her fate was already sealed; I saved you, yet you point your spear at the true enemy and return my kindness with enmity."

"Or is it, Fellow Daoist, that you are so furious because I caused you to lose a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?"

"Bullshit!" Tang Hao roared, raising the Clear Sky Hammer once more, the Ninth Soul Ring suddenly lighting up.
