Chapter 74 Collecting Interest, Sons Paying for Father's Debts
Soul rings and soul skills cannot be used in the City of Slaughter, but the abilities of soul bones are not restricted.
Tang Hao had personally experienced the power of Su Mo's 100,000-year-old soul bone, and Su Mo also had an external soul bone, which was even more unpredictable.
Even though he was close to reaching the Soul Saint realm, his strength was already far beyond what it used to be.
Even though he had won 27 games in the past six months, was in high spirits and full of confidence.
But he knew very well that he was no match for Su Mo in this City of Slaughter.
If he were outside, he would still have a chance to use the Soul Ring Detonation Technique to try his luck, but in the City of Slaughter, Soul Rings cannot be used, so he had no rings to detonate and had one less trump card.
At this moment, he wanted to leave the hellish killing field immediately, get as far away from Su Mo as possible.
Several years ago at the Heaven Dou Arena, although the two sides never actually fought, a grudge had already been formed.
In this lawless, dog-eat-dog world of slaughter, if he were to die here, the Clear Sky Sect wouldn't even know who killed him; they would only assume he died at the hands of the Fallen, leaving them unable to avenge him.
Therefore, he dared not gamble on whether Su Mo would take action against him because of what happened back then.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
However, he could not leave now, because he had already registered and could only wait for the competition to begin; there was no way out.
The rules of the Hell Slaughter Arena are strict. If you leave the arena without permission after registering, it will be considered as challenging the King of Slaughter, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Even Tang Hao wouldn't dare to break this rule easily.
Time slowly passed, second by second.
Su Mo was not in a hurry to do anything to Tang Hao.
He sat quietly in the audience, his expression calm, as if he had everything under control.
Before long, Tang Hao began the competition with nine Fallen Ones.
It must be said that Tang Hao, who had mastered the Clear Sky Technique, was invincible and unstoppable in this Killing City where Spirit Rings cannot be used.
Even without the enhancement of soul skills, the Clear Sky Hammer's sheer weight was enough to crush any opponent.
Tang Hao wielded the Clear Sky Hammer with great force and imposing momentum.
Each hammer blow carried an irresistible force.
In the end, one by one, the opponents fell.
Tang Hao achieved his 28th consecutive victory.
After the match ended, Tang Hao didn't linger, not even pausing to catch his breath, and headed straight for the exit.
After leaving the hellish killing field, his soul power surged wildly as he rushed towards his residence.
His figure darted swiftly through the dark streets.
He walked through one dark alley after another, and over one building after another, without daring to stop for even a moment.
Before long, Tang Hao had run a considerable distance.
However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
The person who arrived was none other than Su Mo.
Damn it! Tang Hao cursed inwardly.
He didn't know why Su Mo was so fast.
He didn't even realize when Su Mo appeared; it was as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
"Brother Tang, how have you been?"
Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips.
His tone was as if he were greeting an old friend, without a trace of hostility.
But it was precisely this nonchalant attitude that intensified Tang Hao's unease.
It was like the calm before the storm.
Tang Hao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked in a deep voice, "Su Mo, what do you want to do?"
Su Mo's identity had become an open secret over the past few years due to the deliberate investigations by various powerful forces.
Therefore, Tang Hao knew Su Mo's real name and his identity as a disciple of the Pope.
Su Mo said calmly, "Brother Tang, why are you so nervous? It's rare to meet an old friend in this City of Slaughter. I've just come to catch up."
"Reminisce about the past?" Tang Hao said in a deep voice, "What past is there between us to reminisce about?"
"Of course, it was about the Heaven Dou Arena a few years ago. Brother Tang's father used intimidation to coerce me back then, and even said that I would never be able to leave the Heaven Dou Arena."
He remembered that posture and that tone very clearly.
Tang Hao's face darkened. "What do you want?"
"Of course, we should charge some interest. Brother Tang, how much interest do you think would be appropriate?"
Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat. "Su Mo, what happened back then was done by my father. If you want to collect interest, go find him at the Clear Sky Sect. What does it have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Su Mo chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "It's only natural that a son should pay for his father's debts. You must understand that, right?"
Therefore, this debt should naturally be placed on his shoulders.
And don't worry, he would definitely go to his father's place too.
"You—!" Tang Hao's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly.
He finally understood.
Su Mo came here today specifically to get rid of him. From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting him off the hook and would not give up no matter what.
Therefore, he quickly made a decision and decided to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.
His soul power surged, directly condensing into the Clear Sky Hammer.
"A strike that soars to the heavens!"
Tang Hao roared angrily, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly enlarged.
He raised the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands and smashed it down on Su Mo's head!
He poured all his strength into this strike, and even a Soul Saint realm expert would not be able to block it easily.
However, Su Mo didn't move an inch, remaining standing in the same spot without even a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
He simply watched the Clear Sky Hammer hurtling towards him.
Just as the hammerhead was three feet above Su Mo's head, a dark red light suddenly shone from his left leg.
He activated the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's left leg soul bone skill, Bat Wing Blood Shield.
A layer of blood-red shield instantly enveloped Su Mo, enveloping him completely.
Bang—
The massive Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the crimson shield with a deafening roar.
However, that seemingly thin shield completely blocked the Clear Sky Hammer's advance, keeping it outside.
Moreover, the surface of the shield showed no signs of breakage whatsoever; it was merely rippling with waves.
"That's impossible!"
Tang Hao was horrified, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He hadn't expected that Su Mo would possess a soul bone of considerable age.
Where did Su Mo get so many top-tier soul bones?
"What, is that all the strength Brother Tang has?" Su Mo said calmly. "I've already let you make the first move, so now it's my turn."
"Not good."
Tang Hao felt a chill run down his spine, and a strong sense of crisis instantly surged into his heart.
He stomped his feet on the ground and retreated rapidly.
However, at that moment, a chill suddenly enveloped his surroundings.
The chill seemed to surge from the deepest hell, penetrating straight into the depths of Tang Hao's soul.
That was Su Mo's Asura Domain.
Within the Domain, Tang Hao's strength was instantly suppressed by 20%.
This immediately filled Tang Hao with fear.
He was already no match for Su Mo, and now his strength was being suppressed. How could he fight back?
