Chapter 125: Innately Evil, Filthy Bloodline
Driven by the instinctual fear of the unknown, Tang Xiao wanted to flee.
But how could Jiang Li allow him to have his way?
If such a high-quality fated person were allowed to escape, he would regret it for a long time.
Just then, the Soul Body belonging to Tang Ba seized the opportune moment and struck Tang Xiao squarely on the back of his head with a hammer.
The scene was filled only with a loud 'Bang!" sound, and Tang Xiao no longer had the strength to offer any meaningful resistance.
He could only feel his consciousness being swallowed bit by bit by that strange Martial Soul, while his corpse gradually grew cold...
"Alas, my Human Emperor Banner has gained another fated person. This is truly perfect."
"Jie jie jie jie jie jie—"
Thinking this, as Jiang Li waved his left hand, the Soul Body belonging to Tang Ba transformed into a stream of black light and shadow, returning to the Human Emperor Banner. Simultaneously, Tang Xiao's Soul was completely absorbed into the Human Emperor Banner, awaiting refinement by time.
In the outside world, the earth-shattering explosion the crowd anticipated never occurred.
When the Blue Silver Grass, resembling giant cages, slowly peeled away, Jiang Li stood unharmed in place.
As for Tang Xiao, he had lost all signs of life, and his corpse plummeted from the high sky.
"Big Brother!!!"
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing ragged.
He rushed forward violently, catching his Big Brother's corpse, and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He was dead!
His Big Brother was dead!
Back then, because of Ah Yin's matter, he hadn't managed the situation well and'struck dead' the Pope Qian Xunji with one blow, ultimately causing the Clear Sky Sect to suffer unprecedented losses.
Because of that, he had infuriated his father, Tang Zhen, to death.
Now, because of his Son, or perhaps due to the sins he committed back then, his Big Brother, the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, had also perished because of him.
He, Tang Hao, was a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect!
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah—"
"Why, why did things turn out like this?"
...
In the distance, Qian Renxue, who had been constantly monitoring the situation here, felt a surge of satisfaction upon learning that Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect had been killed by Jiang Li.
After so many years, that accursed Clear Sky Sect had finally paid the price it deserved.
"Oh, Tang Hao, Tang Hao, I never thought you would have this day."
"This time, I must properly thank Mr. Jiang Li."
"I will personally seek revenge for my father's death. For now, let this be a small interest payment Mr. Jiang Li helped me collect!"
Qian Renxue thought this, then immediately went to her desk and began drafting a condemnation against the Clear Sky Sect, intending to send it out the moment matters concerning the Tang Clan were concluded.
...
On the Tang Clan side, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer rapidly shrank and disappeared back into his hand.
The current situation was clear: with his fighting strength, it was impossible for him to gain any advantage over Jiang Li and his group.
Never mind the risk of his hidden injuries erupting and backfiring at any moment, just the strength forcibly boosted by Ring Explosion could not sustain him in high-intensity combat for long.
His gaze towards Tang San became increasingly bloodshot. He desperately wanted to ask why his Son, upon whom he had placed high hopes, had chosen to recognize a thief as his father?
He also desperately wanted to ask that damned Jiang Li what grudge their Clear Sky Sect held against them that necessitated such extreme measures?
He even wanted to ask those Clan Servantss of Yang Wudi if they had forgotten the kindness the Tang Clan had shown them back then?
However, Tang Hao understood that now was not the time for him to be willful.
His Big Brother, the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, had fallen here. If he, the Clear Sky Douluo, did not return to the Sect to preside over the situation, the scenario they had worried about—a minor Sect replacing a major one—would surely happen!
Moreover, his Big Brother possessed a Legacy Soul Bone belonging to the Clear Sky Sect. This was a precious asset of the Sect and absolutely could not fall into the hands of outsiders!
And he, Tang Hao, as the direct descendant of the Tang Chen lineage of the Clear Sky Sect, if he also perished here—although he believed his grandfather Tang Chen, who was pursuing the path to godhood, had not died—what if there was a possibility?
If the worst came to pass and the Ring Explosion secret technique and the Great Sumeru Hammer were broken with him, he would truly become the Sect's greatest sinner!
"Little San, do not forget, I am your father!"
"The Clear Sky Sect's Bloodline flows through you; this is an undeniable fact!"
As he spoke, Tang Hao intentionally or unintentionally glanced towards Xiao Wu's direction.
He was determined to make that transformed Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast become the possession of his Tang Clan. Especially now that the Tang Sect had completely slipped out of his control, such an Opportunity had to be held in his own hands.
However, it was clear that taking her away this time was beyond his ability; he could only wait for the next chance.
Sensing the ill-intentioned gaze of this unfilial father, Tang San stepped forward and blocked Xiao Wu.
The moment he thought of his mother's identity as a Transformed Soul Beast, her ultimate fate, and the situation Xiao Wu currently faced, Tang San felt a chill run down his spine.
'This Innately Evil, Filthy Bloodline Tang Family member is still coveting Sister Xiao Wu's Soul Ring and Soul Bone even now. He is clearly seeking his own demise!"
Tang San thought this in his heart.
Perhaps the only thing that brought him relief was that he had met his great Master early on.
By learning and comprehending beside his Master, he could clearly feel the sinful Bloodline Power belonging to that group of Tang Family members within him undergoing sublimation!
Indeed, just like his Master, he was still so pure and untainted!
Borrowing the remaining power after his Ring Explosion, Tang Hao intended to flee from this place.
"Leave? Tang Hao, do you think our Tang Clan is some kind of wild chicken Sect like your Clear Sky Sect, where you can come and go as you please?"
"Esteemed Elders, Tang Xiao clearly exhibits Soul Power fluctuations, indicating he possessed a Soul Bone."
"According to our Tang Clan tradition, whoever obtains it first is the fated person for that Soul Bone!"
As Jiang Li finished speaking, Tang Hao's gaze towards him grew even more venomous.
He felt that not striking Jiang Li dead with one blow during their first meeting was the most erroneous decision of his life.
Dugu Bo and the others' eyes nearly popped out upon hearing Jiang Li's words.
As the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao's Soul Bone configuration certainly wouldn't be low-grade. Even if they didn't choose to absorb them, they would be a good option to leave for talented juniors in their own families.
This Grand Elder was reliable; he truly gave away Opportunities!
The scene was filled with several'swoosh' sounds, and even Bai He, the Soul Douluo, joined the fray of scrambling for Tang Xiao's corpse.
Although his own life might be over, his precious Granddaughter Bai Chenxiang was currently exceptionally talented. As a grandfather, he absolutely had to secure more good things for his Granddaughter.
