Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

Tie Xiong didn't give him a chance to speak. He suddenly changed the momentum of his heavy sword, from blocking to pressing down.

The sword's spine slammed into the head of the Haotian Hammer, and an overwhelming, unreasonable force traveled through the handle.

Tang Hao felt a violent tremor in his hand, his entire right arm went numb, and the Clear Sky Hammer almost flew out of his hand.

This old man's strength... how can he be so strong!

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, stomped his left foot hard on the ground, shattering the blue bricks and sending pebbles flying.

Using the force of the recoil, he forcibly created distance and swung the Haotian Hammer again.

This time it wasn't just brute force, but his signature move, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!

First hammer blow, second hammer blow, third hammer blow...

The hammer blows continued relentlessly, each strike heavier than the last. The dark red hammer shadows wove a dense, impenetrable net in the air, pressing down on Tie Xiong.

Tie Xiong remained unfazed and motionless, parrying and blocking with both sides, each strike precisely hitting the point where the Haotian Hammer was generating power.

Tang Hao's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had just reached its sixth strike when it was shattered by a sword strike, causing him to stagger backward and crash into the courtyard wall.

The courtyard wall remained intact; under Tie Xiong's protection, not even a single piece of plaster had fallen off.

Tang Hao's back was pressed against the cold brick wall, his chest heaving violently, and blood gushed from his mouth.

The old man on the other side didn't even dodge a breath!

"Level ninety-six..." Tang Hao squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, "Who exactly are you?!"

Tie Xiong pressed the sword against his heart again. "Haotian Douluo, I respect you as a man, but you shouldn't have set your sights on the Lord."

My lord?!

A storm raged in Tang Hao's heart!

Level 96 is a revered figure in any power on the continent!

If you go to the Spirit Hall, you'll be a big shot in the Hall of Worship; if you go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you'll be worshipped!

Is this person who idolizes youth insane, or is the world insane?

No, no, it must be that Ye Hua has an unfathomable family background that makes this old man serve him as his master!

But why is someone like him living in seclusion in Holy Soul Village? Was he also being hunted down?

Tang Hao's lips twitched. So this explains the martial soul mutation and surge in soul power that the master mentioned!

“Senior,” Tang Hao was forced to back down, “it was I who offended you tonight.”

"If you let me go, I, Tang Hao, swear in the name of Haotian Douluo that I will never cause trouble for your master again!"

"Let you go?" The iron-clad heavy sword remained firmly pressed against the other's heart. "Whether I let you go or not is up to my master."

Tang Hao's face fell completely.

He is Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo!

He never bowed his head before the Pope of the Spirit Hall back then!

It's bad enough that we're being beaten down by some unknown old man, but now we're having our life and death decided by a child?

Deceiving too much!

But with his heart threatened, he had no choice but to act recklessly!

Tie Xiong reached out with his left hand and placed his five fingers on Tang Hao's head.

An extremely domineering soul force poured into Tang Hao's body, rampaging along his meridians and completely sealing off the soul force in his dantian.

Tang Hao groaned, his level 95 soul power frozen solid, unable to be mobilized even a fraction.

Tie Xiong grabbed Tang Hao by the collar, pushed open the door, and threw him onto the living room floor.

Having received a tip from Tie Xiong, Ye Hua was already waiting there, and he also took the opportunity to set up a soundproof barrier for Xiao Wu's room.

Tang Hao struggled to lift his head and saw the child in front of him, who was not even as tall as his waist, holding a teacup and crossing his legs. His face twitched violently.

"Blacksmith," Ye Hua put down his teacup, "it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this title, Tang Hao wished he could cut off Ye Hua's head and throw it into the blood pool of the Slaughter City!

But circumstances forced him to submit, and in the end, he could only manage a smile that was more like a grimace. "Ye Hua... right?"

"Speaking of which, you and Xiao San are from the same village, so you're practically from the same hometown. For that reason alone..."

"Fellow townsman?" Ye Hua scoffed. "No, no, no, who would dare to be fellow townsman with you and your father!"

"The four affiliated sects are either dead or injured because you caused trouble and went into hiding."

"And let me not even mention you. Where were you when your son, Tang San, was stealing my enrollment spot in Holy Soul Village?"

"Where were you when your son forced me to give up my future, and everyone in the village thought it was perfectly reasonable?"

Tang Hao thought to himself, "Damn it."

You're someone who has a Super Douluo as your protector, what the hell are you doing attending a junior Soul Master Academy in Notting City!

If you can't get into this school with its ridiculously expensive and terrible cafeteria food, your future is ruined, right?

Go to hell! With your family background, even getting into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be a huge honor for them!

You pretended to be a fool to take advantage of my son, and now you're turning around and questioning me?

But he dared not say these words aloud, for his soul power was sealed and the heavy sword was pressed against his back!

"Tell me, what are you planning to do about tonight?" Seeing that Tang Hao didn't speak, Ye Hua smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip.

Tang Hao remained silent. What could he do?

Experience told him: Just do it!

"Not going to speak?" Ye Hua smiled faintly. "Elder Tie, he should have a soul bone, right?"

"Back then, the number one genius of the Haotian Sect couldn't have been without some good stuff on him, so let's take a soul bone!"

"You!" Tang Hao's forehead veins bulged.

"What, you're unwilling?" Ye Hua wasn't in a hurry. "Then I'll take your and your son's lives."

Tang Hao's angry curses stuck in his throat, and his eyes almost popped out!

Yes, he's dead. Who will protect Tang San now? That good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang?

If he dies here tonight, Tang San will be completely finished. Ye Hua will not let him off!

"Fine," Tang Hao gritted his teeth, "One soul bone in exchange for my life and Xiao San's!"

Ye Hua nodded.

Tie Xiong's heavy sword was removed from Tang Hao's back.

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, grabbed his left arm with his right hand, and twisted and pulled hard—

Click!

The cracking sound of bones breaking was particularly clear in the living room.

Tang Hao's face turned deathly pale instantly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he didn't even let out a scream.

Blood gushed from the severed wound on his left shoulder, staining half of his clothes red. Even his soul power plummeted, dropping directly to level ninety-two.

With trembling right hand, he handed out the severed arm, the hand still twitching slightly.

Tie Xiong took the severed arm, poured his soul power into it, and after a moment, he peeled a piece of arm bone that shone with a dark golden light from the severed arm.

The bone surface faintly showed patterns of soul power flowing around it, exuding a heavy and fierce aura. It was clearly the left arm bone of a 30,000-year-old Vajra Giant Ape.

Tie Xiong presented the soul bone to Ye Hua, who took it and casually put it into his jade bracelet.

But he never expected that getting a 30,000-year-old soul bone would bring him such an unexpected reward!

Chapter 20 Could it be that my brother is also a soul beast?

【Ding--】

[Xiao Wu's rescue rate +5%]

Current rescue status: 55%

[Detected that Tang Hao has suffered a severe arm injury and lost his soul bone. A key factor in Xiao Wu's sacrifice has disappeared, and Tang San's backing has been weakened. Special reward: One adaptive soul ring, soul ring growth function unlocked]

[System-generated items are always of high quality. This soul ring is a 5,000-year-old soul ring, absorbable without pain.]

[Spirit Ring Growth: By consuming useless spirit bones and spirit power, the age of spirit rings can be increased indefinitely]

[Consuming Soul Bones increases the age limit by 1:1. For example, consuming 3000-year Soul Bones will increase the selected Soul Ring age by 3000 years.]

Ye Hua's lips curled up in a smile, exuding an air of grandeur!

If it were an ordinary spirit ring, Ye Hua would hesitate, wondering if it would be too weak and hinder his later development.

But now that spirit rings can grow infinitely, there's absolutely no need to hesitate!

Even after getting the goods, Ye Hua never took advantage of them to the fullest extent.

After all, he had secretly let Tie Xiong sense that Tang Hao did not have the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone on him, which was the soul bone left behind after Ah Yin's sacrifice.
