Oh, What line?
🕑 Added 2022-02-21 20:23:25 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 257 ---
"Spirit Hall!"
"We are here to pay you back!"
The rumbling declaration echoed like a shockwave, and everyone immediately raised their gazes to the sky.
A group of people with a brave [Clear Sky Clan] character floated in the air. They have stern expressions plastered on their faces while staring at the spirit hall with disgust.
Yunlong glanced at these new guests and casually commented, "Wow, what an entrance."
A man firmly remained in front of the other, and he has some similarities to Tang Hao.
He's around two-meter tall, with broad shoulders and a towering build. This man possessed a calm yet unruly aura around him.
"Well, there is no other person besides Tang Hao's older brother," Yunlong said quietly.
"Tang Xiao, The Howling Sky Douluo."
Yunlong aroused his sharingan and prepared himself for the incoming attack.
"Scan." He commanded Neo.
[Initiating a scan]
[Scanning...]
[Name: Tang Xiao]
[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer(Unknown)]
[Power Level: Super Douluo, Spirit Rank 97.5]
Yunlong was skeptical because Tang Xiao's clear sky hammer had an unknown label on it, and he nearly broke through level 98.a
It was surprising for Yunlong because Tang Xiao became more powerful than he should have been.
"Ah, it's my fault." Yunlong slowly sighed while face-palming himself. "The butterfly effect is more significant than I expected."
However, Yunlong hadn't realized that before even he got birthed, this entire world swayed toward an unexpected path already.
In the first place, his well-being was already an enigma or rather an irregularity in the world order.
He only has to be in a random place to cause a butterfly effect, and even by the friction of a second, something must have changed.
Yunlong gradually closed his eyes and opened them back a few seconds later, showcasing his sharingan.
"It does not matter to me anymore, so just let it flow." He looked at Bibi Dong, who had an annoyed expression on her beautiful face.
He smiled and gently said, "I have something more special on my side."
"What an impudence, does Clear Sky Clan want to spark a war against the spirit hall." Bibi Dong walked off her throne and looked at Tang Xiao.
She moved her gaze to Tang Xiao and indifferently expressed, "Tang Xiao, is that what you wanted?"
"What war, huh?!!" A woman suddenly moved in front of Tang Xiao.
"You all spirit hall people are the ones who humiliated us first." She arrogantly said, which caused a bad mood around Bibi Dong.
This woman's words reminded Bibi Dong of the former supreme pontiff's fool move. He was greedy over a single spirit bone, which injured him gravely in the end.
'Well, thanks to that, I can kill him silently.' Bibi Dong thought while grasping something from her spatial ring.
As Bibi Dong didn't respond, the woman had thought she hit the nail perfectly and shouted, "14 years ago, one of our clear sky stars, Tang Hao, was chased by your supreme pontiff."
"Not only did you guys put a bounty over his head, but you also killed his wife because of your greedy nature."
Tang San, whose neck got choked by Kaguya, was shocked by this statement.
He immediately understood everything that his father never really explained in the past.
'Why did my father live in a small village and never directly teach me about the outside world?'
'Why did he never tell me anything about mother?'
"Why did he seem to oppose me becoming a soul master?'
'Why did he warn me not to show nor disclose my hammer martial soul.'
'Not to mention all of my father's blacksmith skills don't match with a small village level.'
Tang San released tears and muttered, "It all makes sense now."
"To protect me..."
Kaguya noticed that Tang San was struggling, which caused her to clench her hand a little bit harder.
Cough!
A blinding purple light suddenly burst out of Tang San's eyes. He finally reached the third stage of his purple demon eyes, the mustard seed.
"Release me." He coldly said while trying to attack Kaguya with spiritual shock.
It was ineffective against Kaguya because her spiritual force was simply powerful compared to Tang San, but that wasn't his real intention.
Tang San's hands quickly reached into his belts, spatial storage given by his teacher. A series of hidden weapons flowed like waterfalls and caught Kaguya off guard.
"Imbecile," Kaguya responded with an annoyed tone.
As Kaguya released her hand off Tang San's neck for a moment, she quickly reached his stomach with her other hand.
"Eight Trigrams, Vacuum Palm."
Tang San's intuition was greatly alerted, and after a breakthrough to the mustard seed level, everything around him became extremely clear.
He immediately activated his second martial soul to counter Kaguya's attack, but even the clear sky hammer couldn't disperse a single-point focused shockwave.
BOOM! CLANK!
A metal-clashing noise just exploded throughout the entire arena.
Tang Xiao quickly moved his gaze to Tang San and Kaguya. He was speechless for a moment because both of them reminded him of Tang Hao and Ah Yin.
However, He immediately was confused as they stood against each other for some reason.
Tang San fell to the floor with a pale complexion because Kaguya's vacuum palm damaged his internal organ.
He coughed a mouthful of blood, which caused Tang Xiao's eyes to widen in surprise.
Tang Xiao glanced at the little hammer on Tang San's hand, and his expression quickly became solemn.
He disappeared from everyone's gaze and appeared in front of Tang San. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"I can still handle this." Tang San nodded his head while breathing heavily.
Tang Xiao smiled and responded, "You're safe now."
Kaguya walked toward Tang San and tilted her head for a second because Tang Xiao triggered Ah Yin's memory.
"Tang Xiao?" She naturally spoke, which caused Tang Xiao's body to tremble weirdly.
Tang Xiao slowly turned his body around, and Kaguya's face entered his view.
A beautiful woman who Tang Xiao has never forgotten in his entire life.
Tang Xiao fell in love with her in the past but knew his younger brother loved the same woman. He decided not to pursue her, making him feel bitter in his heart.
"Why are you doing this to your son?" Tang Xiao sadly asked, which confused Kaguya.
"My son?" Kaguya responded with a weird expression.
She covered her face for a moment and briefly cried because a sad memory flashed in her mind.
"Hagoromo, Hamura, Zetsu." She murmured in sadness.
As Kaguya was about to fall more into her complicated memories, Yunlong's soothing voice calmed her down from inside.
'Calm down, if you want to, you could meet them again in the future.' Yunlong reassured while shaking his head.
"Well, that was unpleasant," Yunlong commented while patting Kaguya's head from behind.
'How did he arrive there without me noticing?' Tang Xiao looked at this young man, who possessed quite a striking appearance.
Yunlong naturally examined Tang Xiao and asked, "Are you Tang Hao's brother?"
Tang Xiao frowned when hearing Yunlong's statement, but as soon as he was about to respond, a dark-bluish bone abruptly fell from this young man's sleeve.
Clack!
The bone created a hard-falling noise, making a smirk briefly creep onto Yunlong's face.
"Ah, sorry. I picked some spirit bones by accident, and it's been quite hard to manage them lately." Yunlong nervously chuckled while picking the bone back.
However, Tang Xiao quickly reached Yunlong's arm and stared him dead in the eyes.
"Where did you get this..?" He coldly demanded an answer.
Yunlong pondered and answered, "Well, I killed a sick old man in a death fight by accident."
Tang Xiao's eyes widened in horror, and he released an intense pressure akin to a terrifying cold storm.
"Are you mocking my brother..." He quietly grunted like an angry beast.
"Of course not. It's not like this spirit bone has an owner, right?" Yunlong casually shrugged his shoulders.
Tang Xiao clenched his fist and stated, "Kid, you're crossing the line."
"Crossing the line, me?" He playfully commented. "Oh, what line?"
Clack!
Yunlong's smirk went up slightly because another spirit bone fell from his sleeve.
