Chapter 4: The Twin Stars of Haotian, Tang Hao Appears.
Lin Fan also noticed it; the flashing golden light in the air made him feel immense pressure.
Damn it…
Lin Fan panicked a little. Qian Xunji knew about the anti-armor's ability and activated his defense in advance. Even a casual strike from a Title Douluo wouldn't be enough for him.
Although he had the Famous Sword, it only granted him invincibility for five seconds, which was practically useless, mainly because he couldn't possibly harm a Title Douluo in his current state.
"Two elders, bring my disciple back. Today I will properly judge the person who harmed my disciple,"
Qian Xunji ordered. The two elders beside him immediately flew down and grabbed Bibi Dong's arms.
"Holy Maiden, please forgive me."
"Let me go…" Bibi Dong immediately tried to break free, but it was futile. These two elders were both Soul Douluo level, while she, at only eighteen years old, was only at the peak of Soul King. She was quickly taken to a safe place by the two elders.
Seeing this, Lin Fan was also enraged. Pointing at the sky, he cursed, "You shameless bastard, you still have the nerve to call her your disciple? I'll curse you, you immortal! If you have the guts, come down and fight me one-on-one! She's already my woman, and you can't change that no matter what you do!"
"Enough, you ant... My Angelic Defense can protect my body from any harm. Your counter-attacks can't hurt me anymore. Now I'm going to let you die slowly in agony."
Qian Xunji's face revealed a ferocious expression. The next moment, hundreds of spikes formed from holy light instantly pierced towards Lin Fan below. Lin Fan couldn't dodge this attack at all. He raised his Shadow Battle Axe to block some of them, but the rest had already pierced his body.
Although the armor weakened most of the damage, it still caused him unbearable pain, mainly because there were too many of them. It felt like hundreds of needles were piercing his skin. It seemed that Qian Xunji really wanted to torture him. It hurt too much...but none of them were fatal, and the Famous Blade hadn't been triggered yet.
Lin Fan endured the pain, silently pleading, "Draw a prize! Where's Ling'er?"
"Master, it's not time for the prize draw yet. You've already used up your previous chances. You'll only get more chances when you level up or complete special missions."
"Give me a damn thing! I'm almost dead and you're still spouting nonsense. Ling'er, this system is such a rip-off!" Lin Fan saw his health points rapidly decreasing in the system.
Health: 800
Health: 580
Health: 490
Using healing cards at this point is useless; save them for when you're low on health, otherwise it'll be a waste. Lin Fan looked up at Bibi Dong not far away.
Bibi Dong was also looking at him, seemingly distressed.
"Stop..." Suddenly, a loud crash echoed in the sky, and a figure descended from above, blocking Lin Fan's path. The holy light spikes attacking from all directions were all blocked by that person's soul power.
Lin Fan looked up and saw a tall, imposing man in a black robe standing in front of him, holding a strange black hammer in his hand.
This person… could it be…?
Qian Xunji, in mid-air, immediately withdrew his attack and said coldly, "Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, what are you doing here? This is a matter for my Spirit Hall…"
Was it really Tang Hao?
Lin Fan was shocked. He immediately used his healing card, and instantly, all his wounds healed, and his health was full again. This feeling was amazing; it didn't hurt at all.
At this moment, Tang Hao was clearly very young, but he still looked domineering and serious.
Lin Fan guessed that Tang Hao was currently only a little over level 80. Based on the timeline, Bibi Dong was now eighteen years old, and Tang San was born when Tang Hao fought the three Spirit Hall Douluos. That meant Tang San must have been born at least five years later.
Tang Hao was level 90 when he fought the three Douluos. He only became the youngest Title Douluo after Ah Yin's sacrifice. So, five years ago, Tang Hao should have had the strength of a Soul Douluo.
But perhaps his arrival would change the plot, and Tang San might be born earlier.
Tang Hao glanced back at the sharp Shadow Battle Axe in Lin Fan's hand, raised his head, and said coldly.
"I don't intend to be an enemy of the Spirit Hall, it's just that this child's spirit is too special, somewhat similar to the Clear Sky Hammer spirit of my sect. I need to take him back to the sect to confirm whether it's a mutated spirit related to my Clear Sky Sect."
"Don't even think about it, Tang Hao." Qian Xunji said coldly.
"His spirit is just a black axe, what does it have to do with your Clear Sky Hammer? You have no right to interfere with my Spirit Hall's disciples. He bullied the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, I will execute him according to the rules of the Spirit Hall."
Lin Fan stood up and shouted.
"Hey, don't be shameless, it's obvious you wanted to violate your disciple, I saved her, and now you're chasing after me. If you don't believe me, I'll ask her, did I violate her?"
Bibi Dong's eyes changed when she heard Lin Fan's words. Although she wasn't a kind person, her heart softened when she thought of Lin Fan carrying her out of the Papal Palace.
Looking at Lin Fan's handsome face and innocent eyes, Bibi Dong calmly said, "He saved me, not hurt me..."
After saying this, Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Xunji. She truly hadn't expected that her kind act of confiding in her teacher would be met with such cruelty, causing her to lose herself.
"Shut up! Even now, you're still siding with this good-for-nothing!"
Qian Xunji glared at Bibi Dong, his eyes filled with anger. He truly hadn't expected that Bibi Dong, ruined by that insignificant disciple, would still speak up for him.
Tang Hao said with a slight smile, "I never imagined that the renowned Pope of the Spirit Hall would treat his own disciple like this. I wonder if, if this were known to all the spirit masters in the world, they would still consider the Spirit Hall a holy land..."
Bibi Dong hadn't explicitly stated that Qian Xunji had hurt her, but Tang Hao had already guessed.
"Tang Hao, how dare you..."
Qian Xunji roared angrily, his Angel Spirit shining even brighter.
Seeing the black Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand, Qian Xunji gritted his teeth and refrained from attacking Tang Hao directly.
Qian Xunji knew that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were known as the Clear Sky Twin Stars in the entire Soul Master world. Although they were both Soul Douluo, their father, the old sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, was still alive. That old sect master was the son of the peerless Douluo Tang Chen, and was also a peak Douluo of level 95.
It should be noted that in this era, there were few among the seven elders of the Spirit Hall who were above level 95.
Qian Xunji knew that, apart from his father Qian Daoliu, probably no one in the Spirit Hall could match that old sect master.
Moreover, Qian Xunji knew that Tang Hao's combat power was extremely strong, and he also had the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, in his hand. His chest injury had not fully healed, and in a real fight, he might not be Tang Hao's match.
"If you want me to keep quiet, that's fine too. Just hand this child over to me."
Tang Hao looked at Lin Fan behind him.
Lin Fan hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving me, Senior."
Qian Xunji's expression was extremely gloomy. He knew, of course, that letting this mysterious youth go might give the Spirit Hall another incredibly powerful enemy in the future.
However, he dared not let any spirit masters in the world know about this. Given Tang Hao's character, who hated evil as if it were his enemy, he would definitely dare to make this public.
Everyone knew that Tang Hao was upright and honest, and coupled with the reputation of the Haotian Twin Stars, Tang Hao's words carried absolute weight in the spirit master world.
Qian Xunji remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a deep voice,
"Fine, Tang Hao, since you insist on intervening, then this Pope will spare this piece of trash's life today. However, I will remember this debt. Don't regret it later if you become an enemy of the Spirit Hall..."
Tang Hao didn't speak, but glanced at Lin Fan and said, "Let's go, child."
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Fan thanked Tang Hao again. At this moment, Tang Hao's aura and killing intent were extremely strong. Although he was only a Soul Douluo, the pressure he exerted was even greater than that of Qian Xunji.
Lin Fan then looked at Bibi Dong and said, "Sister Dong, why don't you... come with me? I'm worried that if you stay in the Spirit Hall, he will hurt you again."
"Shut up. Since someone saved you, get out of here." Bibi Dong said coldly, as if she didn't care about Lin Fan's life or death.
But Lin Fan knew that Bibi Dong still cared about him, otherwise she wouldn't have told Qian Xunji to stop earlier.
Qian Xunji feigned concern, saying, "My good disciple, don't worry, what happened today will never happen again. That brat hurt you. When you see him again, you must kill him."
Bibi Dong, however, looked coldly at Qian Xunji, her eyes filled with hatred, and said, "It was you! You made me ashamed to face Xiao Gang again! I can stay in the Spirit Hall, but if you hurt me again, I will die in the Spirit Hall..."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji's expression turned cold, but he was helpless. He couldn't bear to part with Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong possessed an astonishingly talented twin spirit, making her the only candidate to inherit the title of Pope, and possibly even the Rakshasa God.
"Don't worry, as long as you stay in the Spirit Hall, no one will be able to hurt you in the future."
After saying this, Qian Xunji glanced at Tang Hao and Lin Fan with some reluctance, then had the two elders take Bibi Dong away.
Watching Bibi Dong's departing figure, Lin Fan still felt a pang of reluctance. She was the first woman he had encountered since arriving in Douluo Continent.
Judging from Bibi Dong's words, Qian Xunji probably won't harm her again. Bibi Dong is strong-willed and always keeps her word.
Qian Xunji probably won't live much longer either. In that case, any child Bibi Dong gives birth to will be his child. It's just unknown whether the Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu will cause trouble for Bibi Dong after the child is born without the Angelic Martial Soul.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about that anymore. With this Invincible King of Glory System, as long as I have time, what can Qian Daoliu do?"
Lin Fan gripped his Shadow Battle Axe tightly, unafraid.
Tang Hao's gaze fell on the Shadow Battle Axe in Lin Fan's hand again, and he said in a deep voice, "Child, let me see your Martial Soul."
"Okay, Senior..." Lin Fan activated his soul power, and the Shadow Battle Axe in his hand became even larger.
The permanent version of the Shadow Battle Axe had indeed become almost like his own Martial Soul, and Lin Fan could freely control its size.
Tang Hao looked intently at the Shadow Battle Axe in Lin Fan's hand, and then immediately summoned his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
At this moment, eight spirit rings of various colors appeared on Tang Hao's body. Starting from the fifth spirit ring, they were all black ten-thousand-year spirit rings. The aura naturally emanating from Tang Hao made Lin Fan feel somewhat breathless.
Is this the Killing God Domain?
Seeing the red killing aura on Tang Hao that seemed to solidify, Lin Fan was secretly shocked again. Tang Hao's aura was indeed powerful. Although he felt pressured against Qian Xunji, he could still fight.
In front of Tang Hao, under the influence of that red killing aura, Lin Fan felt as if he couldn't even activate his spirit power.
Fortunately, Tang Hao withdrew that terrifying red killing aura in time and placed the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand on the Shadow Battle Axe in Lin Fan's hand.
Instantly, Lin Fan saw that both his Shadow Battle Axe and the Clear Sky Hammer trembled violently.
The two collided, emitting a hissing metallic sound.
Tang San becomes the protagonist's daughter, Qian Renxue becomes the protagonist's daughter, Tang San is the soul of the female protagonist's previous life, and was bullied by Bibi Dong. This book also includes Tang Yuehua, A Yin, Bibi Dong...
