Chapter 89 The Shift in Offense and Defense
Chapter 90 The Shift in Offense and Defense (4/5)
The back mountain of Shenghun Village.
The lake, formed by the immense force of the impact, had a deep, dark color.
On a crooked old tree, leaned a figure wrapped in a tattered black robe.
He used a rough tree branch as a crutch, barely managing to move a few steps with only one leg, before finally collapsing to the ground, powerless.
He was breathing heavily, and with one hand he pulled a worn-out wine jug from his waist, tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of the pungent, cheap wine.
My gaze involuntarily rose and fell upon the vast expanse of sky.
A blank, chaotic void filled my eyes.
"How did I end up in such a state?"
Looking back, as one of the two famous stars of Haotian, I was full of vigor and ambition, and I was always ready to settle scores.
Compared to the current state of dishevelment, destitution, and incompleteness, it feels like a lifetime ago, yet it is so real it's heart-wrenching.
In a daze, my memory flashed back to that unbearable day!
Hunted by the Spirit Hall, he was covered in wounds and his soul power was almost exhausted. He thought he had escaped by sheer luck, but his elder brother Tang Xiao personally stopped him.
There was no comfort, no shelter, not even a word of concern.
The only demand is the return of the sect's inherited soul bone!
"He's such a good older brother to me—"
Tang Hao's bloodshot eyes were filled with resentment and malice.
He still can't understand it. There were other options back then. Even if he had been secretly taken back to the sect's forbidden area and imprisoned, Tang Hao would still have been a powerful force capable of deterring external enemies!
However, Tang Xiao, under the influence of a few words from others, especially the Second Elder, said that the Spirit Hall would use this as an excuse to launch another attack, and that the Clear Sky Sect could not withstand a second blow.
He was easily persuaded to hand over the soul bone.
Just like before, he is indecisive and lacks the ability to make decisions. He can be swayed by a few words from others!
Even if one were to become the sect leader, it would be the same.
The same thing happened when they treated Gintoki!
Is it revenge born of resentment?
"An arm and a leg, in exchange for my departure—ha—! If you hadn't ignored me! If you hadn't disbelieved me! How could I have ended up in this state?! Three 100,000-year-old soul bones!!"
"snort--!"
Tang Hao felt a tightness in his chest, his eyes turning sinister. "Just you wait—with your talent for being a mistress, you—you'll all regret this!"
He was thinking, just about to tilt his head back and gulp down another mouthful of cheap wine, which he had bought with the gold soul coins he had given away as charity.
The reason is ridiculous.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the wine jug was already at his lips.
However, right in the corner of his eye's field of vision!
A figure suddenly appeared! Accompanied by that familiar, unforgettable pink light.
"Who?!"
Tang Hao's heart clenched instantly, and he jumped up in shock!
With a tremor of his hand, the wine spilled, and he whirled around on one leg, looking toward the source of the light.
As the light faded, a boy appeared—a boy so familiar he was almost unbearable to him, a boy he loathed, yet whose presence had changed everything—
No, young man!
It appeared clearly in front of him at that moment.
"It's you!"
Tang Hao instantly found an outlet for all his suffering and resentment. The bloodshot in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and he unleashed a ferocious light that seemed to devour people. The remaining aura around him also exploded out of control at this moment!
Dust was kicked up by the blast wave and swept past.
But Xiao Yan simply stood still, letting the oppressive aura wash over him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Oh, long time no see."
As for the oppressive aura that would suffocate an ordinary soul master, it felt like autumn leaves falling on him, without any real sensation.
weak!
too weak!
"And then, goodbye forever."
Xiao Yan's calm voice rang out, "Make your move."
The moment he finished speaking, the pink light reappeared, and Xiao Wu, filled with hatred, suddenly appeared! At the same time, under the infusion of soul power, the Azure Bull Python's body began to expand rapidly, restoring its enormous size!
They never intended to let their enemy live even a moment longer!
Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted again!
Without the slightest hesitation!
He pushed off the ground with one foot and darted backward!
The stripping of inherited soul bones always comes at the cost of severing a limb and permanently losing at least ten levels of soul power!
He was already suffering from severe injuries that were difficult to heal. After losing his soul bones one after another, he could barely maintain the soul power fluctuations at the Soul Saint level, but his actual combat strength was greatly reduced!
He's probably not even as good as a powerful Soul Emperor!
Even the pressure he had just released while holding on was completely ineffective against that kid!
The advantage is definitely not on his side!
We must escape!
Otherwise—everything will end here!
How did they find him? Damn it! Could it be that the Clear Sky Sect is really colluding with soul beasts?!
That was the only thought left in his mind.
The instinct for survival overwhelmed the overwhelming hatred.
He frantically poured his remaining soul power into his only remaining left leg! Each push sent a tearing pain through his shattered meridians.
But he dared not hesitate for a moment and tried to create distance!
However, a dark blue-green shadow, even faster than him, suddenly blocked his way!
Although the Azure Bull Python had not yet returned to its peak size, it was still enormous. Its bull-like eyes looked down at Tang Hao, and azure light gathered in its mouth.
There is no way out!
"Get out of here—!"
Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. With a roar, the dimly lit Clear Sky Hammer suddenly appeared! His remaining left arm muscles bulged and veins stood out as he slammed it down fiercely towards the Azure Bull Python blocking his way!
This hammer blow was devoid of any skill, relying solely on brute force!
"Thump—!!!"
A dull, deafening explosion erupted! The shockwave ripped out in a ring!
The Azure Bull Python was forced back, leaving a clear dent on its dark blue scales, its attack interrupted.
However, Tang Hao was not in good condition. He was blasted back by the force of the recoil and spat out a mouthful of foul blood mixed with fragments of internal organs!
He stumbled and fell on one foot, nearly falling again in the life-threatening moment when he lost his balance!
"Explosive Eight-Stage Throw!"
A sharp shout suddenly rang out beside him!
"not good!"
Tang Hao's pupils constricted sharply as he felt an irresistible force surge through his waist, lifting him into the air with a skillful twist! Then came the second, the third—
The relentless, heavy kicks landed like a storm, precisely striking his already battered body!
"Snap!" "Pfft!"
The sounds of bones cracking and flesh colliding mingled together!
Each blow made his vision go black, his internal organs shift, and blood mixed with shattered organs kept gushing from his mouth and nose!
Xiao Wu's pink eyes were cold. She brought out her strong physique and soft skills to the extreme. She executed the Eight-Stage Throw in one go, smashing him from mid-air to the ground and creating a big crater!
Tang Hao collapsed in the pit, barely having the strength to cough up blood!
My vision was completely blurred by a blood-red haze.
But the attacks didn't stop!
The ground suddenly shook, and several dark red, thick blue-silver vines, as thick as a child's arm, shot out and tightly wrapped around his remaining left arm and neck, the vines digging into his flesh!
A strange suction force came, mercilessly devouring the last bit of soul power and life force remaining in his body!
Xiao Yan appeared at the edge of the pit, his eyes indifferent!
With a firm grip, the vines tightened.
"Blue Silver! Strangulate!"
The Azure Ox let out a low growl, lowered its massive head, and focused the azure light gathered in its mouth onto the bottom of the pit, locking onto the pit with its aura.
With three sides surrounding them, the decisive victory is assured!
At that moment, Tang Hao clearly felt death!
It's not a distant concept, not a possibility of the future, but a cold and chilling reality that's right in front of us!
I—I really will die!
They will definitely die!!
"Heh ————·————"
He made a struggling sound in his throat, his eyes fixed on the three figures above him, boundless fear and deep-seated resentment exploding in his chest!
