Chapter 186: Tang Hao, Today You Must Die!
🕑 Added 2024-06-10 00:35:25 +0000 UTCTang Hao knew that the moment Su Wen spoke, he could no longer stay hidden.
He truly hadn't expected that Su Wen would dare to expose him in front of everyone.
Could it be that he really thought Tang Hao couldn't kill a mere Spirit King because of his injuries?
At this moment, Tang Hao looked at Su Wen with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
Previously, at the Imperial Hunting Grounds, after learning the truth, Tang Hao was willing to wait for Su Wen to grow stronger and give him a fair fight. If he lost and died, so be it.
But now, Su Wen had exposed him in front of everyone, which would undoubtedly have a particularly negative impact on Tang San.
Tang Hao once again harbored murderous intent.
Of course, his killing intent was already intense, especially here at the Spirit Hall, in front of the Pope's Palace. He wished he could destroy the Spirit Hall with his own hands.
"Tang Hao, don't be presumptuous in front of the Pope's Palace!" Bibi Dong said sternly.
Her Soul Power erupted.
At the same time, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with several Spirit Douluo from the Spirit Hall, all mobilized their Soul Power, locking onto Tang Hao.
It wasn't just the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters; on the plaza, many Titled Douluo from other factions, such as Poison Douluo and Sword Douluo, also locked onto Tang Hao.
Even Huyan Zhen of the Elephant Armored Clan had his sights firmly set on Tang Hao.
Feeling all these powerful presences locking onto him, Tang Hao felt a heavy burden in his heart.
However, he still didn't think he had no chance of escaping.
As many powerful individuals confronted Tang Hao, Su Wen finally spoke, "Everyone, this is a personal grudge between Tang Hao and me. I hope you won't interfere."
"Tang Hao is also a wanted criminal of our Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong said.
"But I was the one who brought him out," Su Wen said calmly.
Tang Hao squinted his eyes, his killing intent clear.
Were they really arguing over his ownership right in front of him?
"Your Holiness, I hope you'll give me some face."
Bibi Dong stared at Su Wen and said, "I hope you don't play yourself to death."
"Tang Hao, come on, kill me, or I'll kill you!" The Heavenly Book shone above Su Wen's head, with one yellow, two purple, and two black Spirit Rings rhythmically circling him.
"If you're seeking death, I'll grant it!"
Tang Hao knew that Su Wen was the key to breaking through today.
Since Su Wen established himself as a Theory master, using him as leverage might still allow Tang Hao to escape today.
A large black hammer appeared in Tang Hao's hand, with nine Spirit Rings manifesting one after another.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—
Red!
A red 100,000-year-old Spirit Ring!
As the blood-red Spirit Ring appeared, it seemed to cover Tang Hao in a layer of blood.
A surge of killing intent spread from him, extending to the surrounding area.
Even the other Titled Douluo felt an indescribable pressure.
Sword Douluo, standing in front of Ning Fengzhi, had a grim expression.
"As expected of the Clear Sky Douluo, this aura is truly intimidating."
Ning Fengzhi did frown as he watched Su Wen on the platform, but ultimately did not intervene.
The Upper Three Sects shared a common bond, but they were not completely united. When Tang Hao committed his crimes years ago, the Upper Three Sects could jointly resist the Spirit Hall, but the Clear Sky Sect remained silent and inactive. After being targeted by the Spirit Hall, they retreated into seclusion.
Without the strong support of the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had not fared well in recent years, often having to avoid conflicts with the Spirit Hall whenever possible.
The situation was completely different from more than a decade ago.
Even the few known details were speculations within the two major sects themselves.
When the Clear Sky Sect encountered trouble, they didn't even inform the others of the reason.
Now, with Tang Hao, the root cause of everything, appearing and Su Wen adopting a life-and-death stance against him, Ning Fengzhi would not intervene.
In fact, he was quite inclined to help Su Wen complete his revenge.
Su Wen activated The World in a Book Domain, and with the Phantom Eye activated, his mind was exceptionally clear.
Unaffected by Tang Hao's aura, Su Wen knew that Tang Hao was not in his best state.
He had to kill Tang Hao today.
This was not an empty claim.
Before Xie Yue and Hu Liena broke through level fifty, their Spirit Fusion Technique, Full Moon, had defeated a level sixty-eight Spirit Emperor.
After the siblings both broke through to Spirit King, their Full Moon technique reached the Spirit Saint level.
Su Wen's ability to defeat Full Moon indicated that his strength had already reached the Spirit Saint level.
And this was only with a single layer of Ning Rongrong's support.
Boom!
Outside Su Wen's body, his first Spirit Ring exploded.
His Spirit Rings were not yellow, purple, purple, black, black, but purple, black, black, black, black!
After the first Spirit Ring, the second ring quickly exploded.
A vast amount of Soul Power surged into Su Wen's body, causing his aura to continuously rise.
"This is Ring Explosion!"
An experienced Spirit Master exclaimed in shock.
However, Ring Explosion was a secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect.
How did Su Wen master it?
Tang Hao's pupils also contracted.
What shocked him was not that Su Wen mastered Ring Explosion, but that the proportion of Su Wen's aura increase after the Ring Explosion was noticeably abnormal.
Boom!
The third Spirit Ring exploded; it was a 20,000-year Spirit Ring.
If Su Wen without Ning Rongrong's support and before using Ring Explosion was considered a level 65 Spirit Emperor, then after the first and second rings exploded, his aura rose to the Spirit Saint level.
With the third ring's explosion, his aura was comparable to a mid-level Spirit Saint.
Boom!
The fourth ring, a 20,000-year Mirror Image Beast Spirit Ring.
Su Wen's aura was now approaching a high-level Spirit Saint.
Boom!
The fifth ring, a 45,000-year Void Silver Moon Tapir Spirit Ring.
At this moment, Su Wen's aura had reached the peak of a Spirit Saint.
Ning Rongrong, carried by Su Wen's book page, had already distanced herself from the platform but was now releasing her Spirit Skill from afar.
"Nine Treasures turn out with Glazed Light, Nine Treasures have names, First: Strength, Second: Speed, Third: Soul, Fourth: Defense!"
After Su Wen exploded five Spirit Rings, his aura reached its peak. Ning Rongrong's 50% boost successfully elevated Su Wen's aura to that of a Spirit Douluo.
Other Spirit Masters might struggle to control such a sudden increase, but Su Wen had no such worries.
His fusion level was already sufficient to wield Spirit Douluo-level power.
First Spirit Skill: Enhancement!
Source Soul Power, Enhancement!
With a double Enhancement, if Su Wen's aura previously only barely reached the Spirit Douluo level, it now firmly stabilized at that level.
At this moment, Su Wen's Soul Power fluctuations were incredibly strong.
Xiao Zhan gasped in shock.
Without realizing it, had Su Wen already reached this level?
Tang Hao, filled with killing intent, charged at Su Wen, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer.
He couldn't explode his rings now.
The Soul Power he could mobilize was only at the Spirit Douluo level.
But don't forget, he was still a Titled Douluo, and his Soul Power was solidified!
Su Wen entered the Fire Demon Flow State, suddenly charging out, with the power of wind and fire circulating in his right fist. The explosive flames seemed capable of destroying everything.
Boom!
The two finally collided.
At the point of their impact, air currents spread in all directions, and a deep pit appeared on the platform.
"Tang Hao, today you must die!"

AN : Explanation of Tang Hao's condition:
Ah Yin was stolen by Su Wen, causing him extreme agitation and worsening his injuries.
Although he had been with Tang San and receiving treatment from him, without the precious herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the treatment was merely keeping him alive. Tang Hao's injuries were fundamental, and being alive was already fortunate. Without miraculous Spirit Skills or powerful herbs, recovery wouldn't be quick.
As for using his power to regulate his condition, Tang San's Soul Power was too weak to accomplish that.
So, Tang Hao was currently at Xiao Zhan's level, being restricted in various ways.
Of course, he could still unleash a desperate burst of power, but he didn't dare to go all out just yet, at least not at the beginning of the fight.
