Chapter 95: Deep Father-Son Love, Tang San's Misfortune
"No, Xiao San, run!"
Seeing Tang San in danger, Tang Hao couldn't pretend to be dead anymore. He quickly grabbed Tang San's leg and flew out directly.
Looking back at Dugu Bo, who was chasing closely behind, Tang Hao felt a headache coming on. At this moment, he was cold all over and had no sensation at all. Feeling the temperature on Tang San's body, he became a little confused.
"This is Dugu Bo's cold poison!"
Tang Hao's eyes widened. He quickly used his soul power to suppress the cold poison in his body. His movements slowed, helpless.
"First Soul Skill, Coiling Serpent Chain."
Dugu Bo followed Tang Hao closely. Seeing Tang Hao slow down, he waved his Coiling Serpent Chain with malicious intent and shouted hurriedly.
"Run, why aren't you running anymore?"
If he stopped using the whip, Tang Hao's speed would slow down considerably. He wouldn't run without being whipped; only when the whip struck his body could Tang Hao's potential be unleashed.
"Damn Dugu Bo, how dare he humiliate me like this."
Tang Hao was furious at this point. He couldn't defeat Dugu Bo, and he couldn't even withstand a single move.
"Still daring to talk back? You deserve a beating!"
Dugu Bo seemed to be addicted to whipping. The Silver Serpent Chain Whip in his hand cracked loudly as he swung it. This feeling of wielding a whip made him feel like a beast tamer domesticating a wild beast.
"Run, don't stop!"
In a playful mood, the whip kept lashing Tang Hao's back, causing him to scream. The cold poison eroded his flesh and blood, making a hissing sound.
As for whether Tang Hao would be beaten to death, what did Dugu Bo care? The order was for Tang San to live, not for Tang Hao to live.
"Dugu Bo, don't think I, Tang Hao, am afraid of you."
Tang Hao's blood and qi doubled, his eyes turned red, and he panted heavily. His black, rough skin was slightly red, and he gritted his teeth, shouting angrily:
"Explode the nine rings! Explode all nine rings!"
Suddenly, Tang Hao, who had been low in spirit, erupted with bursts of black light. Nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared on the Clear Sky Hammer.
Crack!
As the nine rings split apart instantly, the formidable Clear Sky Hammer grew into a huge black hammer over ten meters long, causing Tang Hao's body to grow rapidly.
Lightning roared from the hammer, smashing directly at Dugu Bo.
Boom!
Dust flew everywhere, obscuring Dugu Bo's figure. His situation was indistinct.
But Tang Hao was incredibly confident. He was certain that no one could survive unharmed after his Clear Sky Hammer's Nine Rings Explode Simultaneously.
"Dad is so amazing."
Tang San watched as dust rose where the Clear Sky Hammer had struck. Trees within tens of meters around were all broken by the aftershock. It was impossible for Dugu Bo to come out alive.
"Xiao San, when you cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer later, you will be even more powerful than Dad."
Tang Hao patted Tang San's shoulder. His face was pale, and his body was covered with gray-blue veins. He spat out a mouthful of dark red blood onto the ground.
As the deep red blood touched the ground, it immediately sizzled and caused crackling erosion. The grass nearby withered instantly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?!"
Seeing Tang Hao's appearance, Tang San was greatly alarmed. He immediately understood that he had been poisoned by Dugu Bo's cold poison.
He was instantly enraged. This Dugu Bo, they only wanted some Immortal Herb, yet he attacked so fiercely. He truly deserved to die.
"Hehehe, Tang Hao, with just this much skill, you won't be able to escape."
As the smoke dissipated, Dugu Bo's intact figure was revealed. The loss made Tang Hao and Tang San—the useless father and son—feel depressed.
"What? If all nine rings explode at once, even a Titled Douluo at level 96 would have to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. How could you do that?"
Tang Hao was going crazy. Didn't Dugu Bo say he was only level 92?
Who's spreading false information?
"Quiet! Fifth soul skill—Wild Serpent Swing."
Dugu Bo used his Silver Serpent to coil around Tang Hao and Tang San. Tang Hao was poisoned by his snake venom; there was only one way to prolong his Life, and that depended on whether Tang San was willing to make a sacrifice.
As Tang San and Tang Hao were thrown out, they slowly landed near an uninhabited wilderness, where there was a small cave.
Tang San woke up quickly, as he had suffered no injuries. His head was still buzzing. Looking down, he saw Tang Hao unconscious and cold all over.
"Dad."
Looking at Tang Hao, who was lying unconscious and ice-cold, Tang San burst into tears. It hurt! It hurt so much!
His great Dad had fallen.
Carrying Tang Hao on his back, Tang San entered the cave.
He carried Tang Hao on his back and walked into the cave. Inside, he saw a family of Star Leopards eating a powerful rabbit, which immediately angered Tang San.
"Damn evil soul beast! Dare to eat meat? Justice must be served!"
He raised his hand and quickly ended the life of a thousand-year-old Star Leopard. There were hundreds of Star Leopards around. But at that moment, when the dark blue-silver grass touched the Star Leopard, a strange life force followed the grass violently into Tang San's body, causing a cool cry.
"Is this the real use of the Dark Blue Silver King?"
Tang San looked at the Star Leopard's corpse, now dried and drained, and felt his 39th-level soul power surge. If he continued to absorb, he could reach level 40.
Thinking of this, he didn't waste the remaining corpses of the hundreds of Star Leopards—he absorbed them into mummies.
"Level 40 soul power!"
Feeling the breakthrough, Tang San's lingering pain over Tang Hao's injuries was slightly alleviated.
"Just a thousand-year-level Soul Beast, what if it were a Title Douluo?"
He thought this, then looked at Tang Hao with some guilt, slapping himself in the face.
Tang San, oh Tang San, this is your father who raised you. How could you be so unfilial?
After some ideological struggle, Tang San carefully placed Tang Hao on a boulder in the cave. A purple halo flickered in his eyes.
He checked Tang Hao's condition and frowned. It was obvious that his father was seriously poisoned—invaded by cold poison, and his life was in danger.
He couldn't cure this natural cold poison. He had never seen such a poison before.
"Xiao San."
Tang Hao's eyes fluttered open weakly. His purple lips trembled, and his eyes gradually dilated. He stretched out a trembling hand and said, "Xiao San, Dad is dying. You must rely on yourself from now on."
"Dad, don't!"
Tang San cried, tears streaming down his face. He held Tang Hao's hand tightly, feeling like he was about to be orphaned again.
"Xiao… Ah Ah Ah!!"
Tang Hao was about to say something touching, but the cold poison in his body suddenly erupted, making him scream.
The pain drove him into madness. He looked at Tang San with eyes full of aggression.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Tang San also noticed that Tang Hao's gaze was strange. His heart skipped a beat, but he still asked with hope:
"Xiao San, help Dad. Dad doesn't want to die!"
Two lines of turbid tears left Tang Hao's eyes as he grabbed Tang San's shoulders.
"Dad, how can I help you?"
Tang San asked, but he was slightly scared by Tang Hao's strange eyes.
"Don't ask. Just pretend nothing happened for now."
Tang Hao pushed Tang San to the ground, absorbing the soul power from him to nourish himself and resist the cold poison.
"Dad, don't! I'm your son!"
Feeling his soul power constantly draining, Tang San's body suffered a severe attack. If this continued, his foundation would surely be damaged.
"Xiao San, quickly pass all your soul power to Dad."
Tang Hao panted heavily, seeming to regain vitality from the nourishment of Tang San's soul power, continuing to squeeze out the remaining energy.
"Dad, the soul power is gone!"
"Ahhh!!!"
As Tang San's screams echoed in the cave, they lasted until midnight before finally subsiding.
