Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

"it's over!"

The extremely powerful soul force continuously tore apart the muscles in Tang Hao's arms.

Although the four ten-thousand-year spirit rings exploding at the same time were still not as powerful as the one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring in terms of rank, they were still more powerful.

His focus and energy were now completely locked onto Lu Mingfei, so this attack was absolutely certain to succeed.

He looked at the monster over there, but at this moment, there was not even a trace of fear on its face, only frenzied violence!

Lu Mingfei stared with eyes as fiery as molten metal at the massive hammer, hundreds of meters long and resembling a small mountain, that was being raised high.

He sheathed his longsword at his waist, and the next moment, the sword tore through the air. There was no roar, no howl, only deathly silence.

Ninth-tier instantaneous attack, 512x boost!

A childish laugh rang in Lu Mingfei's ears. Sparks flew from the alchemical domain on his longsword, and all the scales on his body opened, spewing out unimaginable high temperatures.

His figure vanished, melting into the moonlight, leaving only the dazzling golden arc of the blade, like a paintbrush slicing through the night sky.

If a mountain peak collapses, he will split it open; if the sky crumbles, he will cleave it apart. This strike is unavoidable, and there is nowhere to retreat.

The flash of the blade froze in front of Tang Hao's retina, and then he suddenly felt a lightness all over his body.

The Haotian Hammer, as large as a small mountain, began its free fall. The massive hammer of soul power exploded upon impact, creating a huge crater ten meters deep in the ground.

Lu Mingfei swung his long sword, Blood Vibration, behind Tang Hao.

Tang Xiao had already fled before the explosion occurred, according to Tang Hao's assessment. If Lu Mingfei escaped the blow, there would be no point in Tang Xiao staying here; it would be better to quickly take Tang San and Xiao Wu away from Tian Dou City to avoid disaster.

Tang Hao reluctantly turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei. The situation he had been afraid to face and the one he least wanted to see had finally appeared before him.

What Lu Mingfei displayed was not the power that a Soul Master could possess, but the power of a god!

They were completely wrong to use the so-called Soul Master level to measure each other from the beginning.

"Let the Haotian Sect go, they are innocent." Tang Hao's voice was weak and hoarse.

At this point, he didn't even consider pleading for his son Tang San. Given Tang San's personality, he would inevitably run into the other party sooner or later, leading to certain death. He only hoped that the bloodline of the Clear Sky Sect still had a sliver of a chance to continue.

However, Lu Mingfei simply looked at the moon in silence until Tang Hao's body completely lost its vitality and fell. Only then did he slowly lower his head, let out a long sigh, and land on the ground.

"Damn, I'm exhausted."

After landing, Lu Mingfei slumped against a huge rock, completely undignified. He hadn't been trying to pose; he was just wary of Tang Xiao, who was hiding on the horizon, suddenly launching a surprise attack.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tang Hao's Heavenly Hammer landed and then turned and left without lingering.

As for Tang Hao's suggestion to spare the Haotian Sect, he wasn't the kind of murderous maniac who insisted on eradicating everything.

Apart from Tang Xiao, he wouldn't bother with anyone else as long as they didn't cause him trouble.

It has to be said that Title Douluo are really hard to kill. If Tang Hao hadn't been seriously injured, he would have run away without saying a word.

However, when he finally killed the other party, he did feel a sense of relief. Did this guy think he, Lu, had no temper after disgusting him for so long?

He took a few breaths, ate something to replenish his energy, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to leave.

Such a commotion might attract some busybodies, and he has no interest in being watched.

"Oh right, I almost forgot." Lu Mingfei scratched his head. He quickly retrieved Tang Hao's severed arm and mangled body, and used a Lord's Flame to burn them to ashes.

This was something Bai Baoshan had taught him: whether hunting for spirit rings, killing spirit beasts, or fighting enemy spirit masters, remember to loot their corpses.

Because in this world, besides soul rings and storage soul tools, there is also a rare item called soul bone, with a drop rate of one in ten thousand.

He could dismember soul beasts, but skinning and dismembering soul masters was too much for Lu Mingfei, so he always burned everything to the ground.

Amidst the fierce flames, several translucent bones gradually became visible.

In terms of appearance, it looks like a miniature human skeleton model, crystal clear and almost like a gemstone.

"real or fake?"

Lu Mingfei counted them briefly and found six pieces. He had only been trying his luck, but he never expected that Tang Hao would actually possess a full set of soul bones. No wonder he could become the protagonist's father with such luck.

After tidying up the soul bones, Lu Mingfei casually buried the remaining ashes in the pit and quickly slipped away. Under the cover of night, he planned to sneak back to Tiandou City to take a look, at least to go back to the academy and say goodbye to the three education committee members, so that those three old men wouldn't worry about him.

--

The torrential rain over Tiandou City showed no signs of abating.

Most of the residents of Tiandou were unaware of what had happened, and the several explosions that had come from high above were drowned out by the thunderous roar.

Their topic of conversation was what terrible things the royal cemetery outside the city had done to be struck by lightning.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of Yuexuan, in the most bustling area of ​​Tiandou City, Tang San held Xiao Wu's hands and sat on the edge of the bed with Tang Yuehua, staring blankly out the window at the pouring rain.

An hour had passed since the explosion at the Royal Cemetery. During this time, the Min Clan's scouts had already brought back the seriously injured Titan, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi for treatment.

After all, this matter will put the Spirit Hall in the blame, and their identities must not be exposed.

"Brother," Xiao Wu said, holding Tang San's hand to offer her some comfort.

But Tang San's solemn expression remained unchanged.

He was aware of his father's chronic injuries, and the battle at Wuhun City had left him in a state beyond medical help. He had long been prepared that his father might not come back.

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, and Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes keenly detected something. Immediately afterward, a dark figure flew through the window and landed in their room.

"Big brother!"

"Uncle." Seeing that Tang Xiao had no obvious injuries, Tang San's first thought was that the plan had succeeded.

"Big brother, where's second brother? Why hasn't he come back!" Tang Yuehua immediately grabbed Tang Xiao's arm anxiously.

"Dad, what's wrong with him?" Tang San asked.

Tang Xiao looked at the two people in front of him and remained silent for a moment: "Brother Hao is not coming back. He and Lu Mingfei died together."

He wasn't lying through his teeth; this was one of the contingency plans he and Tang Hao had made in advance to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

If you fail, tell Tang San false information so he can regain his confidence, and then immediately take him away from Heaven Dou City to that place to cultivate.

--

Lu Mingfei came back to scout out the royal cemetery—no, wait, he came back to take a look.

He had finished the main course, but he almost forgot about the three little Camillas; if it came to it, he wouldn't mind finishing them off.

However, the old man didn't see it in the end, but he did see a group of royal knights surrounding the cemetery at the foot of the mountain, and Zhu Zhuqing trying to climb the cliff.

Chapter 203 Appearance

"Even joining in the fun doesn't have to be this intense, does it?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

It's pitch black and pouring rain. This little girl, doesn't she know she's afraid that Sadako might crawl out?

Zhu Zhuqing left the palace and rushed here as soon as the battle began, but the Royal Knights at the foot of the mountain immediately placed the area under martial law.

She went around in circles and finally managed to sneak in, but the main road up the mountain was blocked, so she had to climb the steep cliffs.

Actually, she didn't know what she could do after coming up here, but it was better than doing nothing.

"Cough, cough." Lu Mingfei coughed lightly as he descended from the sky. It was best not to scare people so late at night.

Zhu Zhuqing was climbing up the mountain when she suddenly stopped and turned around to see that familiar smile.

"What are you doing, stealing in the middle of the night?" Lu Mingfei joked, taking out an umbrella and handing it over as he spoke.

But as soon as he reached out, the damp yet warm touch sent a shiver down his spine.

What happened? This thought flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.

Zhu Zhuqing hugged the figure in front of her tightly with all her might, her face pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. She didn't speak, but suddenly started sobbing. Rainwater mixed with her tears slid down and soaked Lu Mingfei's clothes.

The girl's delicate body was surprisingly soft, like a piece of fruit candy, with a faint fragrance.

Lu Mingfei stood there, stunned. Thunder and rain raged in the sky, and rain pattered on the leaves on the ground. Suddenly, his mind went blank, and his throat became dry. He couldn't say a word.

Although he could sense the girl's affection and kindness towards him, he never associated that kindness with anything else. How should he deal with it?

The feeling of being a winner in life, as seen in teen idol dramas, made him inexplicably a little guilty.

Finally, at a loss, he could only open his umbrella and stand quietly. In the dark, rain-soaked world, something did seem to be conveyed.

--

It was already midnight, and the brightly lit imperial court had an eerie atmosphere.

This was supposed to be a high-profile celebration dinner, but at this moment, most people had no appetite to pick up their chopsticks.

Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi drank in silence, while Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo closed their eyes to rest.

The information sent back by the scouts earlier was concealed by Emperor Xueye, and all that others knew were some worthless traces of the battle.

As for the battle that took place in the sky later, no one knows. Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi are both waiting for the final outcome.

For Emperor Xueye, the assistance of the eight Title Douluos of the Haotian Sect was undoubtedly far more important than the loss of the world's number one genius.

Ning Fengzhi secretly hoped that the Haotian Sect would suffer a loss, since the Haotian Sect was so prosperous that it had already threatened the position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Lu Mingfei and the forces behind him could undoubtedly become a powerful tool to suppress the Haotian Sect.

Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, on the other hand, is able to navigate any situation with ease and remain invincible.

"Hehe, it's been so long and there's still no news. Lu Mingfei is definitely finished." Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the other Shrek Academy students, who were sitting in a corner, whispered among themselves.

Unlike most of the people present who were worried, tonight was definitely a wonderful night for Shrek Academy.

They won third place in the Soul Master Competition, received a reward from the Spirit Hall, and now they've also received a reward from the Heaven Dou Empire. They've gained both fame and fortune, enough for them to squander for several years.

More importantly, Lu Mingfei, whom they disliked, had a stroke of good luck as soon as he stepped out the door.

As Tang San's teammates, they could all guess that this matter had little to do with the Spirit Hall; it was probably Tang Hao, who had escaped that day, and another Clear Sky Hammer Spirit Master who had made the move.

That day, Tang Hao's hammer strike in Wuhun City was earth-shattering and unparalleled. The four Title Douluos that Wuhun Hall had arranged in advance almost perished. With the help of another Title Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer, how could Lu Mingfei possibly survive?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel their appetites whetted. Even Oscar kept glancing in the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, preparing to make a good impression and take advantage of the situation once the banquet was over.

"It's his own fault for being so attention-seeking." Dai Mubai couldn't help but clench his fist in agreement, having already made up his mind that even if Zhu Zhuqing knelt down and begged him, he would never soften his heart.

However, just as they were filled with joy, a palace attendant outside the palace gate quickly walked up to Emperor Xueye's ear.

Both Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, whose faces were usually calm, showed a hint of surprise. They were not surprised that Lu Mingfei was unharmed, but rather that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had been defeated so quickly!

Moreover, the fact that Lu Mingfei dares to appear here now means that the other side has definitely won a great victory.

A deep sense of regret welled up in their hearts at the same time. If they had known this would happen, they should never have believed Tang Xiao's nonsense.

Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi quickly stood up, and at the same time, Lu Mingfei strode in from outside the hall.

In fact, he originally planned to use this incident to leave Tiandou City directly, and at most go back to the academy to say goodbye to the three education committee members, including Yu Tianheng.

But Zhu Zhuqing's appearance reminded him that although he could leave without any trouble, there might be some changes, or even some bad accidents, in the matter he had asked Davis to show leniency.

So he changed his mind. He would leave openly and honestly. With his current strength, he could leave or stay as he pleased. Why leave behind those little troubles?

When he appeared, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, followed by cheers and commotion.

The three education committee members, Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and others, rushed forward to check if he was injured. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was unharmed.

As for Shrek and the others, they stared wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost. How could Lu Mingfei be completely unharmed when Haotian Douluo personally took action?

"Lu Mingfei, it's good that you're alright." Emperor Xueye showed a kind and loving smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It was just a few madmen from who-knows-where, but I've already dealt with them." Lu Mingfei said with a relaxed expression, as if he had only resolved a trivial matter.

He was unaware of the complex web of interests behind this matter, nor did he know whether Emperor Xueye played any role.

It's actually quite normal that no one came to help just now. Firstly, it was a battle at the Title Douluo level, and secondly, he has never explicitly joined any side. They have been very kind by remaining neutral and not causing him any trouble.

"Good, good!" Emperor Xueye felt a sense of loss. He knew that Lu Mingfei's kite had finally flown away.

The victory banquet continued, with laughter and singing echoing from the main hall, while three cries continued from a room on the top floor of the Moon Pavilion.

Chapter 204 Xiao Wu Leaves

The lights in the top-floor room of Yuexuan had been blown out by the fierce wind outside the window at some point, and in the darkness, only bloodshot eyes and the sound of sobbing could be heard.

“Dad, he…”

Tang San choked back tears, pounding his thigh as he cried. His father, for the sake of his future, had actually perished together with Lu Mingfei, exploding and scattering across the sky.

Tang Yuehua was devastated upon hearing the news of Tang Hao's death. Moreover, she recognized that this was the same line Tang Hao had first told her to use to deceive Tang San, which meant that Tang Hao's sacrifice might have been in vain.

“Xiao San, a real man doesn’t cry. You need to pull yourself together. Hao Di’s biggest wish was for you to become strong and one day return to the Haotian Sect. What you need to do now is to grow up as quickly as possible, so that Hao Di’s name can be put back into the family tree and his memorial tablet can be put back into the ancestral hall.”
