Chapter 150: "Kid, You're So Naive!"

Before Tang Hao developed killing intent, Kong truly had no idea which Titled Douluo had been following him. With his sharp senses, he was well aware someone was trailing him, and that it was a powerful Titled Douluo. However, the identity of that person remained unclear to him.

There were only a few Titled Douluos in all of Heaven Dou City.

She Long, Xue Bing, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and perhaps Tang Hao, who could be secretly protecting Tang San.

The moment Tang Hao's killing intent emerged, Kong suddenly realized who it was. That inexplicable sense of familiarity—it was none other than Tang Da Hammer!

Xue Bing and She Long had no reason to attack him, and Qian Renxue wouldn't issue such an order for now. As for Ning Fengzhi's group, they were even less likely to act; if they had wanted to, they would have done so six years ago.

This left only Spirit Hall or Tang Da Hammer—Tang Hao.

That familiar aura couldn't belong to a stranger. It had to be Tang Hao!

During their last encounter in the Star Dou Forest, Kong had spared Tang Hao's life and chose not to pursue him. He never expected Tang Hao to remain unrepentant, even planning another assassination!

This time, there was no way Kong would let Tang Hao walk away.

Kong let out a cold chuckle, his eyes filled with mockery, indifference, and a touch of carelessness.

The slight upward curve of his lips revealed that Kong's heart was anything but calm.

Upon hearing Kong's words, Tang Hao was momentarily taken aback. Kong's demeanor shouldn't have been this relaxed.

There were no powerful allies around Kong, so why wasn't he afraid that Tang Hao might strike and end him before he even had a chance to grow?

As the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a prodigy that hadn't appeared on the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years, Kong couldn't be this foolish.

Why?

It almost seemed as if Kong had been waiting for Tang Hao to reveal himself.

"Kid, no matter how much of a genius you are, you're still just a Soul Saint. How can you be so arrogant!"

To Tang Hao, Kong's attitude wasn't just arrogant—it was as if he didn't even regard Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, as a threat!

Moreover, his martial spirit was none other than the number one tool spirit in the world—the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Yes, I'm a Soul Saint, but are you the same as you were in your prime?"

Kong said mockingly.

In their last battle in the Star Dou Forest, Tang Hao's old injuries had flared up. He had also used Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Hammer technique. The fact that he hadn't died right there in the Star Dou Forest was a testament to his strong fortune.

How long has it been?

Kong was 100% certain that Tang Hao's current strength was less than half of what it had been at his peak, and it might even be lower than that.

As soon as Kong said this, Tang Hao's expression darkened. Kong was right; his current state and his prime were two entirely different concepts.

Right now, he couldn't fight at full strength. If his old injuries acted up again, he could very well die on the spot!

"Kid, even if I can't go all out, I'm still more than enough to deal with a mere Soul Saint like you!"

"Want to try?"

Kong replied dismissively.

Seeing Kong's attitude, Tang Hao's anger flared. When had he ever been provoked like this?

Even the former Pope Qian Xunji had tried to persuade him nicely when asking for the Blue Silver Emperor's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. No one had ever been so direct, let alone this Kong! How dare he provoke him like this?

Just because he was a Soul Saint at under thirteen years old?

"Fine, let's see who's the fool here!"

Tang Hao was far from afraid. He clenched his right hand, and a massive war hammer appeared in his grasp. Even in his wounded state, once he wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, his posture straightened, and his aura became terrifying.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit ring rose quickly, surrounding Tang Hao and amplifying his menacing presence.

Unlike ordinary Clear Sky Hammers, Tang Hao's was marked with white patterns—an effect of acquiring the Killing God Domain after passing through Hell Road.

Kong, who had been refining his body earlier, already had his martial spirit, Thunder Blade of the Harvest, in a released state, so there was no need to summon it again.

"Tang Hao, be honest with yourself. For the sake of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, you plotted against your wife, the Blue Silver Emperor. Do you really feel no guilt?"

Kong glanced at the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring on Tang Hao's body and spoke instinctively.

He didn't have any ulterior motives—he was simply curious whether Tang Hao truly felt guilty.

When the Blue Silver Emperor left the Blue Silver Forest, she had already reached the level of a Soul Saint, and even Titled Douluos couldn't see through her true form.

The only one who knew her true form was Tang Hao!

When Tang Hao was nearing level 90, Qian Xunji somehow learned about the Blue Silver Emperor, a transformed spirit beast, and pursued them relentlessly.

The Blue Silver Emperor possessed the Blue Silver Domain, making her nearly immortal within a forest, undying and indestructible. Yet, in an unfortunate twist of fate, the place where Tang Hao took her to escape had no forest, and very few plants...

Did Tang Hao not know about the Blue Silver Domain?

Impossible!

The Blue Silver Emperor had already told Tang Hao about her true identity as a spirit beast, so how could she not tell him about her Blue Silver Domain and its effects?

It was precisely because he knew that Tang Hao dared not take her into the forest!

Upon hearing Kong's words, Tang Hao's body trembled. His previously dazed eyes suddenly sharpened, filled with intense light. He stared hard at Kong, completely baffled as to how Kong knew about this!

Impossible. Not even his elder brother, Tang Xiao, knew about this. How could this kid possibly know?

Suddenly, Tang Hao chuckled. It didn't matter how Kong knew. As long as Kong was dead, there would be one less person who knew.

With that thought, Tang Hao laughed and said, "Kid, you ask if I feel guilty? What difference does it make if I do? For the sake of my clan, sacrificing the Blue Silver Emperor, or even sacrificing Tang San—so what?"

To Tang Hao, his clan always came first. Family ties were secondary—mere optional considerations.

If Tang San weren't a twin martial spirit user with the potential to reach the level of his grandfather Tang Chen, Tang Hao wouldn't care about his life or death.

"You really are cold-blooded," Kong remarked indifferently. Though he had already suspected this, he hadn't expected Tang Hao to shamelessly admit it so openly.

Then again, looking at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it made sense. Almost all of their direct descendants prioritized the clan's honor over personal feelings and family ties. Even Yu Yuanshen was no exception.

"Cold-blooded? Kid, you just haven't seen enough of the world yet!"

"In this world, only strength matters! If Qian Xunji hadn't died unexpectedly, I wouldn't still be unable to return to the Clear Sky Clan. With me leading the clan, it would be even stronger than it was back then!"

Tang Hao said, expressionless.

In this world of survival of the fittest, cold-bloodedness? That was far too naive!

Only strength is the eternal truth!

Why was Spirit Hall so powerful?

It was all because of Qian Daoliu, that level 99 peerless Douluo!

If Tang Chen had still been with the Clear Sky Clan, Tang Hao wouldn't have had to plot against the Blue Silver Emperor!

He needed a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring to strengthen himself and bring another powerful Titled Douluo to the Clear Sky Clan!
