NOVEL NEXT Chapter 355: The Filial Son Strikes
Just the Slaughter King alone was enough to render Tang Hao helpless!
After all, in terms of duration, the explosion of a 100,000-year ninth soul ring was equivalent to the combined energy of the previous eight soul rings.
Thus, this meant that the Slaughter King had directly withstood the force of Tang Hao's eight-ring explosion!
Moreover, looking at the Slaughter King, who was only slightly out of breath and seemed largely unharmed, Tang Hao couldn't help but wonder if even a full nine-ring explosion would cause much damage to him.
Although the Slaughter King no longer held the sword in his hand, and it had only appeared for a moment, Tang Hao could still sense an aura from it that sent chills down his spine.
Was that the Slaughter King's spirit?
It seemed even more powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Slaughter King truly lived up to his name, his strength was indeed formidable!
Moreover, Tang Hao now realized that the Slaughter King had no intention of killing him. Instead, he was toying with him like a cat playing with a mouse.
This realization sent a shiver down Tang Hao's spine.
It meant that if the Slaughter King wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as a cat killing a mouse.
But now, there was no point in dwelling on it. Tang Hao had exhausted his Ring Explosion. All he could do now was pray that the Slaughter King truly had no intention of killing him and was merely toying with him.
Though it was humiliating, this might be the only way for him and Tang San to survive.
"Slaughter King, I admit defeat. Please let me go. I promise I will never set foot in the City of Slaughter again!"
Tang Hao looked at the Slaughter King, his voice tinged with pleading.
If the Slaughter King demanded that he kneel and kowtow, Tang Hao would do so without hesitation.
The Slaughter King looked at Tang Hao, whose face was ashen and pale, his aura weak, and at the young boy in his arms who had just awakened.
The Slaughter King's eyes lit up with excitement as he spoke in a lively tone.
"Fine, you can go. I won't stop you. After all, I've had my fun beating you up."
"..."
Tang Hao, who had been prepared to kneel and beg for mercy, was stunned by the Slaughter King's words.
The Slaughter King was letting him go so easily?!
What was going on?!
Had his earlier guess been correct? Was the Slaughter King truly toying with him like a cat with a mouse?
Before Tang Hao's mind could process this, the Slaughter King continued.
"Tang Hao, although I've had my fun, you've offended someone else who hasn't had his fill. Once the person in your arms has had his fill, I'll let you go!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao, whose mind was already struggling to keep up, was momentarily stunned.
He then looked down at the person in his arms in confusion.
The person in his arms was none other than his son, Tang San!
Let him have his fill? What did he have to be filled with? He was his son! What could he possibly have against his own father?
But the next moment, as Tang Hao looked down carefully, he saw his son, Tang San, holding a Zhuge Divine Crossbow aimed at his stomach.
Seeing this, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically.
Knowing the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Tang Hao instinctively released Tang San.
"Click!!"
"Bang, bang!!"
As soon as Tang Hao let go of Tang San, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was fired.
Since Tang San had just awakened, he didn't have much strength and could only aim and fire roughly.
He couldn't even use his Purple Demon Eyes or Jade Hands.
In an instant, as the Zhuge Divine Crossbow fired with a deafening roar, Tang Hao felt an intense pain shoot through his left thigh.
The excruciating pain overwhelmed Tang Hao's mind.
"Ah!!!"
No matter how much Tang Hao could endure, being ambushed by his own son and suffering what felt like a broken leg was too much. He let out a piercing scream!
"Little San!!!"
Tang Hao looked at his son, who was holding the Zhuge Divine Crossbow with a murderous expression, and at the Slaughter King, who had slowly approached Tang San.
In the end, Tang Hao had no choice but to flee the City of Slaughter alone.
After all, Tang San's sneak attack had truly chilled Tang Hao's heart.
The fatherly love in his eyes was gradually replaced by coldness.
With one last deep look at Tang San, Tang Hao flew out of the City of Slaughter as fast as he could, leaving behind all his earlier bravado!
"Slaughter King, I will remember this grudge! One day, I will destroy you and your entire family!"
As he fled, Tang Hao couldn't resist leaving behind a threatening message.
But the Slaughter King paid no attention to it.
He remained by Tang San's side, watching as Tang Hao, dragging a nearly severed leg, fled like a wounded dog.
Now, with his body severely injured and his physical condition worse than an ordinary person's, Tang Hao's left leg was almost completely severed, held together only by some muscle and shattered bone.
Most of the tissue had been torn apart by the weapon in Tang San's hands.
At this point, Tang Hao's left leg was nothing but a burden. The only option was to amputate it!
Keeping it was useless, but removing it would leave Tang Hao crippled.
The Slaughter King was quite curious about what choice Tang Hao would make!
"Tang Hao, Tang Hao, I'll be waiting for the day you come back for revenge. I hope you don't keep me waiting too long."
The Slaughter King murmured softly to himself.
Then, he turned his attention to Tang San, one of the protagonists of this drama.
The Slaughter King looked at Tang San, who was still somewhat weak.
As he used his soul power to nourish Tang San's body, he asked with genuine concern.
"How are you, little guy? Are you alright?"
Tang San looked at the Slaughter King, his eyes filled with confusion and complex emotions.
"Xiao Wu is dead, killed by my father. And I just severely injured my father. Slaughter King, do you think I'm alright?"
Hearing Tang San's words, the Slaughter King's expression froze.
Although this grand play had been his doing, as the person involved, Tang San, no matter how you looked at it, would find it hard to accept what had just happened.
Shaking off these thoughts, the Slaughter King looked at Tang San's bewildered eyes and smiled faintly.
"Haha, my apologies. But little guy, now is not the time to grieve. If you want revenge, you need to quickly improve your strength. After obtaining the Asura Domain, leave this place and seek your revenge! After all, without the Asura Domain, you can't leave the City of Slaughter!"
Hearing the Slaughter King's advice, Tang San snapped out of his daze and muttered with a fierce expression.
"Yes, you're right! I need to quickly achieve consecutive victories. I need to leave this hellhole as soon as possible. I need to avenge Xiao Wu!!"
