NOVEL NEXT Chapter 352: Your Father Will Always Be Your Father
Hearing Tang San's cold yet pained words, Tang Hao's face turned red with embarrassment, unsure of how to respond.
Because, indeed, as Tang San had said, Tang Hao had failed to take proper care of him when he was young.
But could Tang Hao really be blamed for that?!
From a young age, Tang San had displayed wisdom and abilities far beyond those of an ordinary child. He had even managed to cultivate techniques and manuals that Tang Hao himself couldn't understand, all without a teacher.
At such a tender age, Tang San had been independent, disciplined, and capable of cultivating every day, waking up early without fail!
His behavior back then was nothing like that of a normal six-year-old child!
All these unusual signs had led Tang Hao to believe, before Tang San turned six, that he wasn't his son.
He thought Tang San was the illegitimate child of Ah Yin and another man, and that he had just happened to come across him.
At the time, out of love for Ah Yin and because she had sacrificed herself to give him a 100,000-year soul ring, Tang Hao hadn't abandoned Tang San. However, he also hadn't paid much attention to him, leaving him to fend for himself.
It wasn't until Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer spirits that Tang Hao finally confirmed Tang San was indeed his son.
Only then did Tang Hao begin to care for Tang San, protecting and helping him from the shadows.
Thus, when Tang San spoke to him in such a manner, Tang Hao felt immense pain and guilt.
He was also filled with regret for not having taken better care of Tang San back then.
Meanwhile, Tang San, seeing Tang Hao at a loss for words, continued in a cold tone.
"Father, no matter how you treated me in the past, I can accept it. I am your son, a new life created by you and Mother. Therefore, if you want to take my life, you can do so at any time. I, Tang San, will not have the slightest complaint.
However, the one thing you should never have done is take away my Xiao Wu!! Xiao Wu was the love of my life. You can kill me, but you cannot kill him.
Father, I'm sorry. Now that Xiao Wu is dead, I no longer have the patience to think about right or wrong. Today, either you kill me, and I join Xiao Wu in the afterlife, or I will seek justice for Xiao Wu!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Hao was so furious he couldn't even speak.
Looking at Tang San's blood-red, crazed eyes, Tang Hao pointed a trembling finger at him and said, "You... you... you ungrateful son! How dare you raise your hand against me?! For the sake of a man, you would attack your own father?! Do you really want to take my life in exchange for his?!"
"Father, Xiao Wu was the love of my life. If I cannot avenge him, then what meaning does my life have as a man? I'm sorry, Father..."
Tang San spoke in a cold tone.
His purple eyes began to cycle through three colors: purple, black, and blood-red.
At the same time, the overwhelming killing intent in his mind began to spread rapidly throughout his entire brain!
"You... you ungrateful son..."
Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Hao couldn't help but think of Ah Yin, who had sacrificed herself for him. Ah Yin had also been like this. The Spirit Hall had killed her, but Tang Hao hadn't even had the courage to seek revenge.
He had only hidden in Holy Spirit Village, cowering in fear.
In this regard, Tang Hao couldn't compare to Tang San.
"Yes, if I cannot avenge the person I love, then what kind of man am I..."
"Boom!!"
Tang Hao lowered his head slightly, about to vent his emotions.
But before he could finish speaking, a massive Clear Sky Hammer came crashing toward his face.
Tang Hao, who had been about to get sentimental, didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying.
Feeling the intense pain on his face, Tang Hao immediately sensed a warm liquid flowing from his nose.
"Good! Good!! Well done, well done!! Keep it up!"
The Slaughter King, watching Tang Hao being sent flying, was filled with excitement.
The grand show he had orchestrated was finally unfolding perfectly!!
Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who had been sent flying, was momentarily dazed.
He hadn't expected his son to sneak attack him.
He hadn't expected Tang San to actually attack him.
The next moment, after stabilizing himself and wiping the blood from his nose, Tang Hao instinctively tried to summon his Clear Sky Hammer to counterattack.
However, although Tang Hao managed to summon his Clear Sky Hammer, he couldn't activate his soul rings.
Seeing this, Tang Hao's expression froze, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Why was this happening? He had already become an Asura, so why were the effects of the City of Slaughter still affecting him?!
Before Tang Hao could react, Tang San's second, powerful Clear Sky Hammer came crashing toward him.
Seeing this, Tang Hao hastily countered, swinging his own Clear Sky Hammer, which was twice the size of Tang San's, and slammed it down with full force.
"Boom!!"
Instantly, the collision between the two Clear Sky Hammers produced a deafening crash.
A terrifying shockwave erupted from the point of impact, spreading outward.
The shockwave was felt by everyone in the inner city of the City of Slaughter.
Many curious people quickly rushed toward the source to see what was happening.
Meanwhile, others hurried toward the outer city.
After all, the last major battle had destroyed most of the inner city and killed many堕落者 (fallen ones). They didn't want to die here!
Thus, temporarily retreating to the outer city was the safest option.
At the center of the battlefield, after losing the element of surprise, Tang San was sent flying by Tang Hao's hammer.
Your father will always be your father!
Even though neither could use spirit skills, Tang Hao's Title Douluo-level Clear Sky Hammer was far superior to Tang San's Soul Emperor-level Clear Sky Hammer!
Tang San's body crashed into the room he had shared with Xiao Wu, collapsing it and burying Xiao Wu's body under the rubble!!
"Ah!!! My Xiao Wu!!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's body buried, Tang San couldn't hold back any longer. His expression grew even more frenzied as he charged toward Tang Hao.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao's expression grew increasingly grim.
From the moment he realized he couldn't activate his soul rings, he knew this was a conspiracy targeting him and Tang San.
And the one behind this conspiracy was undoubtedly the Slaughter King himself!!
Whether it was Xiao Wu dying before Tang Hao could act or his inability to use his soul rings now, it was all the Slaughter King's doing!
In the entire City of Slaughter, Tang Hao couldn't think of anyone else with the ability and audacity to target him like this.
