Hearing the voice, how could Golden Crown not know who it was?
Tang Hao!
This former World-renowned twin star of the Clear Sky Sect.
After all, he had beaten this guy's son several times in a row.
With Tang Hao's temper, how could he possibly let it go?
He just thought the other party would at least choose a night or a more remote place to intercept him.
He didn't expect...
...that he would choose to appear directly in the middle of the road.
"Who are you?"
The repelled Ling Xi and Iron Sword quickly rushed forward to protect Golden Crown and Ye Lingling behind them.
They released their respective Martial Souls.
They looked very seriously at the Black-Robed Figure who had suddenly appeared.
"Hmph!"
"The likes of you two are not worthy of knowing my name."
"Get out of my way!"
Tang Hao shouted overbearingly.
A powerful aura was released.
He stretched out his right hand, and a large hammer shaped like a bamboo shoot appeared out of thin air in his palm!
Taking a step, with every stride, a Soul Ring fell from above.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
Nine Soul Rings of different colors shimmered with a dazzling light.
At the same time...
...an aura like Mount Tai pressing down bore down on Golden Crown and the others like a violent storm.
"Clear Sky Hammer! A 100,000-year spirit ring!!"
"You are Tang Hao?!!!"
As a veteran of the Elders Hall who had participated in the pursuit back then, the moment Rhino Douluo saw the Clear Sky Hammer...
...he instantly guessed the identity of this Black-Robed Figure.
He didn't expect to run into this Murderous Star today.
Rhino Douluo felt a sense of foreboding, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"What! He is the Clear Sky Douluo from back then!" Iron Sword said in disbelief.
Although he was just a Rogue Cultivator before...
...Tang Hao's reputation was like thunder in his ears.
But in his imagination, the famous Clear Sky Douluo should be a heroic and majestic figure.
What he didn't expect was...
...the opponent was actually just a middle-aged man with a face full of stubble and an incredibly scruffy appearance.
If not for the powerful aura emanating from him...
...he would have thought the person in front of him was a beggar.
Tang Hao's gaze sharpened as he glanced at Rhino Douluo: "Oh? I didn't expect someone to still know me."
"Since that's the case, get out of here quickly!"
"Today, I'm only here to find trouble with this kid!"
"In your dreams!"
"With the two of us here today, don't even think about hurting the Young Master."
Rhino Douluo flatly refused.
Iron Sword was also ready for battle at any moment.
Cold sweat couldn't help but break out on both of their foreheads.
There was no helping it.
Their opponent was Tang Hao, who possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring, had defeated the previous Supreme Pontiff, and even escaped the pursuit of the Level 99 Peerless Douluo Grand Consecrated Qian Daoliu.
Seeing the two of them so stubborn...
...Tang Hao stopped wasting words: "Since you insist on seeking death, then I will grant your wish!"
Having said that...
...he walked forward step by step, carrying the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Rhino and Iron Sword had also condensed their spirit power, preparing to fight.
However, at this moment...
...Golden Crown spoke up to stop them.
"You two, since this guy is here to find trouble with me..."
...then leave the fighting to me."
"Just protect Lingling."
Hearing this...
...Rhino and Iron Sword refused without even thinking about it.
They hurriedly spoke up to advise him.
"Young Master, the opponent is the Clear Sky Douluo, his strength is formidable; you are no match for him."
"If anything happens to you, how can we go back and face your Grandfather?"
"..."
Golden Crown raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't worry, you two, I know what I'm doing."
"It just so happens that I want to test how strong I am now, and using Tang Hao for practice is just right."
"And I'll take revenge while I'm at it."
"Step back, just protect Lingling."
"Leave the rest to me."
Without giving the two of them a chance to argue, Golden Crown turned and walked toward Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was somewhat surprised to see this kid actually wanting to fight him personally.
He couldn't help but be a little astonished.
In a slightly raspy voice, he said: "Commendable courage, to actually dare to fight me personally."
"I didn't expect the Clear Sky Douluo of back then to turn into such a scruffy state now; it's quite a surprise. That said, as a dignified Titled Douluo, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to specifically intercept and kill a junior like me halfway?" Golden Crown said in a flat tone.
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes and looked quietly at Golden Crown: "Two days ago, when you bullied two Spirit Grandmasters, weren't you quite impressive?"
"Since the little ones were beaten, the elder naturally has to stand up and speak."
"Isn't this the logic since ancient times?"
That's right.
Two days ago, when Tang San and Xiao Wu were beaten at the Rose Hotel...
...Tang Hao had also seen it.
Originally, he had planned to find trouble with Golden Crown that night.
But he didn't expect his old injuries to flare up again.
He could only find a place to suppress his injuries first.
"That's some bullshit logic."
"If they hadn't provoked me first, why would I have thrashed them?"
"Enough, it seems you are determined to stand up for those two today."
"In that case, let me see exactly how powerful the Clear Sky Douluo is."
Golden Crown chuckled, unhurriedly assuming a fighting stance.
But Tang Hao felt very strange in his heart right now.
The other party clearly knew his identity and should know he was a Titled Douluo.
Looking at his reaction, it didn't seem at all like the reaction of someone encountering a Titled Douluo.
Blustering?
It didn't feel like it.
Tang Hao sneered: "Although I don't know which power you come from, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
"This is a World where the strong prey on the weak; only the strong have the right to set the rules."
"The weak are only fit to follow the rules set by the strong!"
"Any clever tricks are futile in the face of absolute strength."
"You have targeted my son Tang San time and time again."
"To prevent you from becoming his inner demon and hindering his growth..."
...today, you must die!"
Tang Hao walked toward Golden Crown step by step as he spoke.
Golden Crown smiled indifferently: "Want to kill me? Then let's see if you have the ability!"
As his voice fell...
...surging spirit power erupted from within his body.
A tall and powerful phantom of a golden crocodile appeared behind him.
A top-tier Beast Spirit—the Golden Crocodile King!
But if one looked closely...
...purple lightning floated around the Golden Crocodile King.
It looked unusual.
Tang Hao looked at the Golden Crocodile King and suddenly felt that this Martial Soul was very familiar.
He seemed to have seen it somewhere but couldn't recall it for a moment.
But the next scene caused his eyes to widen in shock.
He saw that after Golden Crown released his Martial Soul...
Black, black, black, gold, red, red, red.
Seven Soul Rings, far exceeding the normal Soul Ring configuration of a Soul Master, landed at his feet.
Golden Crown looked at Tang Hao and said: "Show me whatever skills you have."
Iron Sword, seeing Golden Crown's Soul Ring configuration for the first time...
...rubbed his eyes.
He also gave himself a slap on the face...
...wanting to see if all of this was real.
At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaim: "No wonder the Young Master dares to challenge Tang Hao; it turns out he actually possesses such strength!"
Rhino Douluo patted Iron Sword and said: "Enough, put away that look of someone who hasn't seen the World."
"According to the Young Master's words, what was this called again?"
"Basic operation, don't be surprised!"
