The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 121 The Death of Tang Hao

At this moment, Xia Liang's imposing Azure Dragon Emperor, which he unleashed by possessing Dugu Bo through the spirit of the dead, was not a two-in-one fusion technique in the Fusion Ring state, but a true martial soul fusion technique.

After being possessed, the two not only became connected in spirit, but practically became one person.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill born under these conditions can be said to have a fusion rate of up to 100%.

Unfortunately, Dugu Bo's soul power is currently very weak; otherwise, the Mighty Azure Dragon Emperor would definitely have been able to kill a level 96 Title Douluo.

In mid-air, the area on the forehead of the majestic Azure Scale Dragon Emperor suddenly turned into a transparent diamond-shaped crystal, resembling a cockpit.

The person encased in this transparent rhomboid crystal was not Dugu Bo, but Xia Liang.

Tang Hao also saw Xia Liang's appearance through the transparent diamond-shaped crystal. Only then did he realize that this person was the black-haired youth who had shot him with a sneak attack earlier.

Could this black-haired youth be Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law?

Regardless of who the opponent was, Tang Hao clearly understood that anyone who could command such a massive black-purple dragon in battle was someone he, in his current weakened state, could not possibly defeat. Fighting to the death against such a powerful opponent was definitely not a wise move.

Tang Hao's gaze drifted towards the distant ruins, where he discovered that the unconscious Xiao Wu was buried under a huge rock. If he couldn't save this 100,000-year-old soul beast, he would have no choice but to escape. After all, leaving alive was the only way to ensure his son's safety.

Roar--

Just as Tang Hao was about to escape, Xia Liang controlled the Mighty Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor and let out a deafening roar. Emerald green light shone from inside the black-purple armor. Immediately afterward, the huge Mighty Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor used its spatial attributes to arrive behind Tang Hao.

Tang Hao felt a chill run down his spine. He found himself frozen in mid-air, unable to move, as if he had been petrified.

The majestic Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor raised its right claw, which was covered in blackish-purple bone armor, and suddenly swept it down towards Tang Hao's head.

Because both his soul and body were injured to varying degrees, even if Tang Hao reacted, he wouldn't have time to dodge. He could only release his head soul bone to strengthen his skull and withstand the blows from the giant dragon claw falling from the sky.

The moment the dragon claw struck Tang Hao's head, his head bone did not shatter, but his skull was cracked in several places, and his eyes, ears, nose, and other parts were bruised.

Suffering such a fierce blow, Tang Hao flew out like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground. His spine was severely injured, and he couldn't even scream. When he opened his mouth, he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

When facing an opponent who is clearly an enemy, Xia Liang's fighting philosophy is always to either lie low and not fight, or to kill the opponent in the most ruthless way. Even if the opponent escapes, he will never give them a chance to survive.

After Tang Hao was severely injured by the dragon claw, he summoned the Shiny Gastly.

Xia Liang controlled the Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor, which opened its jaws wide, and a huge black-purple sphere of light condensed in front of its jaws.

Propelled by terrifying jet force, the dark purple orb in front of the jaws instantly transformed into a raging Dragon Emperor Poison Mist Ray and shot out.

At the same time, the Odd-colored Ghost Stone floating above the head of the Mighty Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor also spat out a black poisonous mist ray.

Although the two rays were vastly different in size, when the black poison mist ray of the Odd-Colored Gastly merged with the black-purple poison mist ray of the Mighty Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor, the toxicity contained in each ray was fully unleashed, increasing their power to an extremely terrifying level.

The terrifying black-purple poisonous mist ray was aimed at Tang Hao, who was lying on the ground panting heavily.

As a dark purple beam of light with a diameter of over ten meters descended from the sky, Tang Hao endured all the excruciating pain in his body. Supported by his soul power, he gripped the Clear Sky Hammer with his right hand, attempting to use the Exploding Rings to gain even greater power.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao's already damaged body could no longer withstand the strain of the exploding ring. Instead, he suffered a backlash from the ring and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood again.

Just then, the dark purple poisonous mist ray of the majestic Azure Dragon Emperor descended upon him, and Tang Hao could only use his Haotian True Body to transform into a huge red phantom and forcefully raise the Haotian Hammer to block it.

The hammer, which was originally only the size of a bucket, swelled up in the wind when lifted, becoming a massive ten meters long.

The dark purple poisonous mist ray collided with the huge Haotian Hammer head. Tang Hao, who was in the Haotian True Form state, felt the bones in his right arm, which was holding the Haotian Hammer, suddenly break.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous illusory image of Haotian's true form, which was lying on the ground just like him, shattered like glass.

Along with it, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul itself shattered; the enormous Clear Sky Hammer actually exploded into powder in mid-air.

The destructive energy generated when the martial soul exploded shattered Tang Hao's entire right hand, with a piece of right arm bone flying out along with countless pieces of flesh and blood.

Previously infected by the light of the black-purple poisonous mist rays, the viruses and bacteria multiplied a thousandfold from the right shoulder where Tang Hao's arm had been severed, immediately causing him to scream in excruciating pain.

In mid-air, Xia Liang manipulated the Azure Scale Dragon Emperor in its armor to begin condensing a second black-purple poisonous mist ray.

Just then, three figures suddenly rose up and landed in front of Tang Hao. The newcomers were none other than Dean Flander and Vice Dean Liu Erlong, whom Tang San had found immediately after Xiao Wu was captured by Dugu Bo, along with his teacher Yu Xiaogang.

The battle between Tang Hao and Dugu Bo was so intense that any Soul Master lingering outside Heaven Dou City would have noticed it.

Therefore, Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong were able to arrive in time.

Standing at the front of the three were Flander and Liu Erlong, with Yu Xiaogang behind them. When the three of them landed in front of Tang Hao, they had already formed a triangular formation.

Looking at the majestic, forty-meter-long Azure Dragon Emperor in the sky, Flander shouted without hesitation, "The sun and moon shine, the golden dragon turns!"

He did not release his martial spirit, but a strong golden light shot up from his body and spread out from his feet.

The same golden light also appeared on Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong respectively. The golden light spread and instantly formed a golden triangle formation with the three of them at its apex.

At this moment, Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong were all covered in a layer of shimmering gold.

Flander and Liu Erlong closed their eyes, but the light in Yu Xiaogang's eyes became noticeably brighter, like two sharp swords staring at the majestic Azure Dragon Emperor in the sky.

"Luo Sanpao—"

Accompanied by Yu Xiaogang's low roar, which sounded like a dragon's cry, a beast spirit resembling both a pig and a dog emerged from the sky. It was Luo Sanpao, a spirit that had undergone a malignant mutation from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

After Luo Sanpao appeared, his chubby body landed in the circular pattern at the center of the golden triangular formation.

In an instant, Flander and the other two simultaneously unleashed their own spirit rings.

Yu Xiaogang had two, while Flander and Liu Erlong each had seven, for a total of sixteen spirit rings that floated out from their bodies and flew towards Luo Sanpao in the center of the golden halo.

Luo Sanpao, who previously looked like a pig or a dog, was enveloped in a layer of golden light after the fusion of sixteen soul rings. He looked up at the sky and let out a loud dragon roar.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Sanpao's body began to expand violently and slowly rose up with the light released from the Golden Triangle Formation.

Amidst the flashing golden light, the seemingly harmless Luo Sanpao transformed into a gigantic, thirty-meter-long golden holy dragon, its gaze radiant and its presence awe-inspiring.

The pressure emanating from the golden triangular pillar of light suddenly increased. Tang Hao, who was lying on the ground with a severed arm, was suddenly rescued by Tang San, who arrived at the scene, using his Blue Silver Vines.

Tang San didn't know why his father was there. He only knew that his father couldn't possibly be an ordinary blacksmith, since he could fight the black and purple armored dragon in the sky for so long.

After Tang Hao was carried several hundred meters away by Tang San, a powerful triangular pillar of light shot into the sky, centered on Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong. The Trinity Spirit Fusion Technique, Golden Sacred Dragon, was activated.

"Xiao Gang, you're in charge of this battle!"

After giving these instructions, Flander and Liu Erlong closed their eyes completely, handing over control of the Golden Sacred Dragon to Yu Xiaogang.

Tang Hao is not only Tang San's father, but also his idol. How could Yu Xiaogang sit idly by and watch his idol be beaten like this?

After gaining command of the Golden Sacred Dragon, his eyes immediately sharpened as he focused his mind on controlling the Golden Sacred Dragon floating on the golden triangle array to fight.

Roar--

The enormous golden holy dragon roared to the sky, its golden dragon eyes locking onto the location of the majestic Azure Scale Dragon Emperor, and it transformed into a golden lightning bolt, rushing straight towards him.

Xia Liang neither dodged nor evaded, but instead controlled the Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor to unleash the black-purple poisonous mist rays that had been condensed in front of its two jaws.

As the golden dragon soared upwards, it also emitted a golden beam of light from its two jaws.

The environment within a radius of 100 meters was instantly dyed blackish-purple and gold by the rays of the two giant dragons.

Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dark purple poisonous mist rays and the golden beam of light collided suddenly in the air. Although the destructive aura generated by the collision of the two energies was not as terrifying as the eighth and ninth soul skills of Dugu Bo and Tang Hao, it was enough to make the surrounding air tremble and the ruins within a radius of hundreds of meters were swept up.

Amidst the billowing dust, Tang San and his son Tang Hao were both blown away.

Tang San was alright; with his agile movements, he quickly regained his footing amidst the ruins.

Tang Hao was unable to move due to his severe injuries and crashed hard onto a boulder before falling to the ground.

Surprisingly, the boulder supported Tang Hao's back, allowing him to sit as if he were watching the battle between the majestic Azure Scaled Dragon Emperor and the Golden Sacred Dragon in the sky.

With his soul severely damaged, Tang Hao found himself unable to control his body. The more he tried to force his body to move, the stronger the feeling of his brain collapsing became.

Only then did Tang Hao realize that his skull was nearly shattered. If it weren't for the support of his head's soul bone, what would have flowed from his head wouldn't have been blood, but brain matter.

The mighty Haotian Douluo is about to die. And he's going to die at the hands of the weakest Title Douluo, Dugu Bo, and an unknown black-haired youth.

Gazing at the battle between the Golden Holy Dragon and the Mighty Azure Scale Dragon Emperor in the sky, Tang Hao only hoped that Flander and the others could kill Dugu Bo and the black-haired youth, so that he could have peace of mind even in the afterlife.

After the environment within a radius of 100 meters returned to normal, the violent energy ray confrontation finally stopped, and the battle ended with the Golden Holy Dragon being blasted away by the black-purple poisonous mist ray of the Azure Dragon Emperor.

However, the Golden Sacred Dragon did not disintegrate as a result. Instead, Xia Liang's mental energy was greatly depleted, and he could no longer maintain the majestic Azure Scale Dragon Emperor state.

In the sky, the forty-meter-long black-purple dragon turned into light and dissipated. Xia Liang activated the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone skill to fly, and slowly fell from the sky while holding onto Dugu Bo's collar with his right hand.

At this moment, Dugu Bo had completely exhausted his physical strength, soul power, and mental energy, and he fell into a deep coma.

Xia Liang was in no better shape. Apart from the physical strength and injuries that were quickly restored by the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone healing skill, his other stats, such as soul power and mental strength, were less than one-third of their full strength.

Tang Hao was stunned when he saw Xia Liang and Dugu Bo descending from the sky. He saw a blue-gold bone-like object full of life on Xia Liang's right foot. Wasn't that the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone that he had lost?

How did the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, left behind after his wife Ah Yin's death, end up on this black-haired youth?

After a moment of thought, Tang Hao finally understood that this person was the culprit who stole the Blue Silver Emperor seedling and the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone!

Anger, an endless anger, rose in Tang Hao's heart. He struggled to stand up, but his body was unable to move normally, and he could only kick his feet in place.

Just as Tang San was about to run to help Tang Hao up, he was drawn to a figure under a boulder in the ruins.

Rabbit ears, scorpion braids—isn't that my little sister, Xiao Wu?

Using Ghost Shadow Tracking to reach Xiao Wu's side, Tang San manipulated the Blue Silver Vines to help lift the boulder with his hands. Then, he activated the Human-Faced Demon Spider's torso bone, spitting out spider silk to drag the unconscious Xiao Wu out.

Just then, Xia Liang, who had fallen to the ground, put Dugu Bo aside and silently activated his spatial attribute to teleport to Tang Hao's side.

Tang Hao angrily tried to spring up with his back against the boulder, but Xia Liang stepped on his chest with his right leg, forcing him to stay on the boulder.

With his gaze fixed on the right leg that was pressing down on his chest, Tang Hao finally became certain that the blue-gold bone on the black-haired youth's right leg was definitely his wife A Yin's Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone!

"You, it was you all along—" Tang Hao stared at Xia Liang, his voice trembling, "I, I'll haunt you even as a ghost—"

"You think I'll let you go even if you become a ghost?"

As he spoke, Xia Liang grabbed Tang Hao's neck with his left black dragon claw and lifted him high into the air.

After the Azure Dragon Emperor disintegrated, he immediately rushed to Tang Hao, intending to destroy his corpse and annihilate his ghost, ensuring he would never be reincarnated.

The external left palm bone skill, Bone Dragon Thrust, is activated.

A sharp, black bone pierced out from Xia Liang's left palm.

There was a soft "plop" sound.

The sharp black bone pierced through Tang Hao's neck in an instant, and blood bloomed on the boulder like fireworks.

At this moment, Tang Hao was within the range of the undead domain. He died with his neck pierced, and his resentment was channeled into the undead, turning into a vengeful ghost that was about to attack Xia Liang. However, he was suddenly sucked into the mouth of the undead skeleton martial soul that appeared.

As the swallowing motion ended, the vengeful ghost that Tang Hao's spirit had transformed into was devoured by the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul.

No matter how powerful Tang Hao's undead spirit is, once it enters the belly of the undead skeleton martial soul, it will be devoured sooner or later.

Just as the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul retracted into his body, Tang Hao's corpse was corroded by the dark attribute of the Bone Dragon Spike. His entire skeleton and flesh rapidly collapsed, and he vanished into thin air in Xia Liang's left palm grasp.

At the same time, five soul bones fell to the ground. These were five-sixths of Tang Hao's complete set of soul bones.

With the telekinetic effect activated, Xia Liang grabbed the right arm bone that Tang Hao had previously dropped and, along with the five soul bones that had just fallen, absorbed them all into the alternate dimension using his external eye bone.

After Xia Liang cleaned up Tang Hao's body, spirit, and all his soul bones, Yu Xiao noticed the movement behind him. As soon as he turned around, the huge golden holy dragon floating above him also turned around.
