Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Self-Amputation (Seeking Subscriptions)_1
Tang Xiao wiped the corner of his moist eyes and said with a smile, "Good, very good!"
These were the children of Ah Yin and his younger brother, which were as good as his own son...
However, inappropriate jeers from several Elders suddenly rang out from beside him, "Still have the face to let your child acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan, Tang Hao? Do you have no shame?"
"I absolutely refuse to let him stay; who knows if the child of Tang Hao might bring disaster to the Hao Tian Clan!"
Not only did these Elders jeer, but even the Clear Sky Sect Disciples behind them looked at Tang Hao and his son with disdain.
Nobody in the Clear Sky Sect welcomed their arrival, yet they had the audacity to show their faces here!
Unable to hold back any longer, Tang Xiao suddenly turned around, his body erupting with the soul power fluctuations of a level 90 Hyper Douluo as he roared, "Shut up, all of you!!"
In an instant, the noisy Clear Sky Sect Disciples immediately fell silent...
A few Elders frowned, similarly emitting the terrifying aura of Title Douluo...
The Clear Sky Sect Disciples were afraid, but these Elders were not!
Moreover, other than Tang Xiao, there were six other Title Douluo in the Hao Tian Clan; even though Tang Xiao was the Sect Master, his authority was insufficient for such matters.
The Elders tossed their high hats at Tang Xiao one after another, "Tang Xiao, don't forget what the old Sect Master said, do you?"
"The old Sect Master said Tang Hao is forever banned from setting foot in the Hao Tian Clan! How can we possibly allow him to return!"
"Exactly! The Hao Tian Clan does not welcome such people. If you want your son to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan, sure, hand over the soul bones in your body and also cripple your own Soul Power!!"
Unexpectedly, these words gained the approval of the other Elders...
"Exactly, if you want to join the Hao Tian Clan then hand over the soul bones! Otherwise, don't even think about stepping into the Hao Tian Clan!"
"I want to see if you, Tang Hao, have the guts!"
Asking a Titled Douluo to remove his own soul bones not only meant crippling the associated body part but also, after the removal of the soul bones, the previous soul power rank would plummet wildly!
Tang Xiao glared at the group of Elders furiously, "Elders, you are going too far! Don't forget that I, Tang Xiao, am the current Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan!"
Tang Hao's turbid eyes sharpened, his voice calm as he said, "Is what you just said true?"
Tang Xiao grabbed Tang Hao's hands in haste, angrily exclaiming, "Second brother, don't do something foolish!! With your elder brother here, Tang San will definitely be acknowledged by the clan!"
Tang Hao slowly placed his hand on Tang Xiao's shoulder, "Enough, big brother, you have already done enough. These are all debts I owe the Hao Tian Clan..."
He knew all too well that although Tang Xiao was the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan, his authority had been fragmented by these six Elders...
Seeing the resolute look in Tang Hao's eyes, Tang Xiao, torn with anxiety, cried out, "Second brother!"
Suddenly, Tang Hao pushed Tang Xiao away, and then, feeling a tightness in his chest, he violently coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood...
"Second brother!"
"Dad!"
Tang Xiao and Tang San cried out in distress.
Tang Hao slowly extended his hand, signaling for them not to come closer...
Afterward, his bloodshot eyes once again turned towards the Elders of the Hao Tian Clan and asked, "Just now, was what you said true?"
Seeing that Tang Hao was clearly severely injured, a flicker of compassion flashed through the eyes of these Hao Tian Sect Elders, but it vanished in the next moment!
A few Elders looked at each other, "We mean what we say. If you hand over the soul bones in your body and willingly cripple your Soul Power, we will agree to Tang San acknowledging his ancestors and returning to the clan!!"
"Indeed!"
"I agree!"
Would Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, be willing to extract the soul bones from his body?
Don't joke around! For something like having his child acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan, even a fool knows it's impossible!
Tang Hao said coldly, "Fine! Today, I, Tang Hao, will return what I owe to the Hao Tian Clan, and I hope you won't forget what you just said!"
As these words were spoken, the pupils of the Hao Tian Sect Elders all shrank, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition...
Could this Tang Hao really intend to remove his own soul bone???
Tang Xiao, realizing Tang Hao's intentions, shouted angrily to stop him, "Second brother! Stop at once!"
But it was already too late. Tang Hao, using his palm as a blade and unleashing terrifying Soul Power, slashed at his own right arm...
With a "splat," a right arm drenched in scarlet liquid fell to the ground...
At the same time, Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and emotionlessly wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth with his left arm!
The only sound in the entire place was a sharp intake of breath, "Hiss..."
This Tang Hao, he had really severed his own right arm!!!
Tang San, with pupils reddened by fury, roared, "Dad!!"
He tried to rush over and stop him but was held back by Tang Xiao, who had tears running down from the corner of his eye...
Tang San, his eyes filled with murderous intent, turned to Tang Xiao, "Uncle, let me go!"
"Tang San, stop it... Once the second brother decides something, he never changes his mind for anyone,"
As his brother, he knew Tang Hao's character all too well. He could stop him once, maybe twice, but three times???
Tang San's tears uncontrollably began to fall, "But Dad, he..."
Meanwhile, Tang Hao slowly lowered his head to look at his left leg (right leg) and the next moment, without any hesitation, injected Soul Power into his hand and decisively chopped down again...
A "splat" as the right leg was instantly severed and hit the ground, yet Tang Hao still stood up, relying on strong willpower and his one remaining leg...
The Clear Sky Sect Disciples and Elders present watched in stunned silence...
This Tang Hao, he truly had the courage to cripple both of his limbs!!
The next moment, Tang Hao looked towards his chest, knowing he couldn't cripple his Soul Power...
Then, Tang Xiao rushed out to support the swaying Tang Hao, holding his back with one hand, his voice choking up, "Second brother, it's enough, it's already enough! You don't owe the Hao Tian Clan anything anymore!!"
Tang San also hurried over, looking at Tang Hao who had lost two limbs, feeling a surge of murderous rage that he could barely control!
If his father were to come to harm because of this, he swore!
Even if it cost him his life, he would use Yama's Invitation to take these people down!!
Tang Hao's eyelids grew heavier, and as he looked at the Hao Tian Sect Elders, a weak voice emerged, "Now, can Xiaosan... return to the clan and acknowledge his ancestors?"
Seeing the tragic state of Tang Hao, some moisture also appeared in the elders' eyes...
In their hearts, they were merely displeased with how the incident with Tang Hao had brought huge losses to the Hao Tian Sect without any recompense from him; they never truly wished for Tang Hao to take his own soul bone and waste his Soul Power!
An elder's voice trembled, "Enough, Tang Hao, you've repaid your debt to the Hao Tian Clan!!"
Actually, an elder shouted loudly, "From this day onward, Tang San is one of our Hao Tian Clan's kin!!"
The Clear Sky Sect Disciples behind him, eyes brimming with tears, also shouted, "Yes!!"
Tang Xiao, strainedly smiling, looked at Tang Hao and comforted, "Tang Hao, rest assured, from now on, Tang San is a member of our clan! With me, Tang Xiao here, no one will dare to touch him."
Tang Hao glanced at Tang San, who was crying, his eyes bloodshot as he called out, "Dad!"
Tang Hao gave a bitter smile, "A man... A true man, what's there to cry about! Hold it in..."
Before he could finish, his pupils dilated, and he collapsed, powerless, into Tang Xiao's arms...
