"Boom!"
A world-shaking explosion rang out, as if the God of Thunder were beating war drums in the Nine Heavens.
The once peaceful Nuoding Academy was instantly shaken by the terrifying sonic boom.
The glass of the teaching buildings shattered into a mess on the ground, and countless students and teachers still in class turned pale with fright, rushing onto the playground in a panic.
Above Nuoding City, the once clear sky suddenly shifted with roiling clouds.
Though several terrifying figures could not be clearly seen, the overflowing ripples of Soul Power made the very air in the space turn viscous.
"Wow! Is that... are those people flying?"
Wang Sheng hid behind a pillar under the teaching building, his eyes wide and his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.
"When did experts like this appear in a small place like our Nuoding City?"
"Even the Dean wouldn't be able to walk on air like that, right?"
By now, the Dean of Nuoding Academy was already standing on the top floor of the office building.
He looked at those figures in the sky, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his eyes filled with terror.
"Flying through the air—that is the hallmark of a Titled Douluo!"
"And there's more than one!"
"Good heavens, are they going to tear Nuoding City apart?"
The Dean could only pray frantically in his heart that these masters wouldn't involve his shabby little academy in their fight... Meanwhile, among the crowd on the playground.
Compared to the panic of the others, Dante appeared exceptionally calm.
He looked up slightly, and within his eyes, the Double Pupils quietly activated.
The originally blurred high-altitude battlefield instantly became crystal clear in his vision.
"Heh, as expected, they've come."
A playful arc curled at the corner of Dante's mouth.
In the sky, the disheveled man in a black robe fluttering in the wind, holding a giant Clear Sky Hammer, was indeed Tang Hao.
Opposite him, it wasn't just the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos.
Besides those two figures—one effeminate and one ghostly—there was actually an additional old man holding a Ten-foot-eight-inch Snake Lance, radiating a sharp aura!
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo... those are Bibi Dong's people."
"As for the one with the lance..."
A sharp light flashed in Dante's eyes.
"Snake Lance Douluo, Snake Spear?"
"It seems not only is Bibi Dong anxious, but even that 'Xue Qinghe' Highness lurking in the Heaven Dou Crown Princes Mansion can no longer sit still."
At this moment, Dante felt completely at ease.
The appearance of the Snake Lance Douluo confirmed that Qian Renxue was also a holder of a Diary copy!
This was getting interesting.
This pair of mother and daughter, who shared a "love-hate" relationship, had actually sent people at the same time for the very same reason.
Just as Dante was analyzing the situation.
A pair of cold and soft little hands suddenly grabbed his arm tightly.
"Lin... Dante..."
Dante looked down to see Xiao Wu trembling as she hid behind him. Her normally pink little face was now deathly pale, devoid of its usual liveliness.
It was a shudder from the depths of her Soul.
Even with the Stealth Technique rewarded by the System to ensure she wouldn't be discovered.
As a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast, the instinctive fear rooted in her Bloodline could not be suppressed when facing the terrifying auras of four Titled Douluos erupting simultaneously.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Dante reached back and grasped those cold little hands.
Feeling the warmth and strength from his palm, Xiao Wu's panicked heart miraculously settled a bit.
She subconsciously leaned closer to Dante; only by his side did she feel a shred of security.
On the other side.
Tang San was also doing his best to circulate his Purple Demon Eye, trying to see the situation in the sky.
But his Purple Demon Eye was only at the entry level, so he could only see a few blurry black dots.
"The weapon in that black-robed man's hand..."
Tang San's brow furrowed as an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
"It looks like a hammer?"
As for the other three, they were shrouded in Ghost Douluo's black mist, and he couldn't even see their shadows... High in the sky.
The atmosphere was heavy to the extreme.
Tang Hao stood in mid-air, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand radiating a dark red light, looking like a Demon God descended to the world.
His cold gaze swept over the three people opposite him, finally landing on Chrysanthemum Douluo's flamboyant face.
"Heh..."
"A chrysanthemum, a little ghost."
"And a little snake that popped out of nowhere!"
"All of you are trash!"
Snake Lance Douluo Snake Spear's mouth twitched, the veins on the hand holding his Snake Lance Douluo bulging.
Trash?
He, a dignified Rank 92 Titled Douluo, was actually being called trash to his face?!
"Tang Hao! Do not be so arrogant!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Chrysanthemum Douluo pinched his fingers in an orchid gesture and shrieked in a high-pitched voice:
"Since we were able to find this place, we naturally came prepared!"
"Came prepared?"
Tang Hao gave a disdainful cold snort, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand jolted, causing the air to instantly explode.
"I don't know how you learned of my whereabouts."
"But did you think that with just the three of you, you could keep me here?"
"Have you forgotten how that old bastard Qian Xunji died back then!"
Boom!
Before his voice could fade, a red Domain filled with slaughter and coldness instantly erupted with Tang Hao as the center!
Slaughter God Domain!
Following that.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red!
Nine spirit rings slowly rhythmically pulsed under Tang Hao's feet. Especially that blood-red Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring, which emitted a terrifying pressure that directly shattered the surrounding clouds!
What terrified the trio of Chrysanthemum Douluo the most was the Soul Power fluctuation Tang Hao was currently displaying!
Rank 94!
"How is that possible?!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo screamed, his flamboyant face instantly twisting.
"It's only been six short years! How could your cultivation have improved so quickly?!"
One must know that in the battle back then, although Tang Hao was fierce, he was also heavily injured.
Logically, he should have been hiding in some dark corner nursing his wounds for these six years.
How could he have advanced instead of regressing, even soaring by two ranks?!
At the level of a Titled Douluo, every single rank of improvement was as difficult as reaching the heavens, let alone for someone with severe internal injuries.
"Could it be that his injuries are completely healed?!"
Ghost Douluo's raspy voice also carried a hint of trembling.
If Tang Hao was at his peak, the three of them combined might truly not be enough to withstand a single strike from his hammer!
"Chrysanthemum Douluo! Snake Spear! Don't let him intimidate you!"
Ghost Douluo urgently sent a sound transmission: "There's an academy below with many people. We must lure Tang Hao outside the city!"
"Even if his strength has recovered, the three of us aren't pushovers. Chrysanthemum Douluo and I still have our Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Tang Hao clearly had no intention of starting the battle here either.
After all, Tang San was still in the academy below.
If the shockwaves from a battle between Titled Douluos shook his own son to death, it would be a disaster.
Moreover, now was not the time to reveal his identity and let Tang San know.
"Want to go outside the city to die?"
"I'll grant your wish!"
Tang Hao sneered, his body turning into a streak of black and red light, instantly sweeping toward the outskirts of the city.
The three Titled Douluos looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and followed closely behind... As the four terrifying figures disappeared over the horizon.
The suffocating feeling that had been weighing on everyone's hearts finally slowly dissipated.
On the playground of Nuoding Academy, a sound of relieved sighs rang out.
Only Yu Xiaogang, standing in a corner of the crowd.
At this moment, his face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Because just now, at the moment Tang Hao left.
A bone-chilling Killing Intent had precisely locked onto him for a single second from a thousand meters in the air!
That was a warning!
And even more so, a suspicion!
"It's over..."
Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard, his heart filled with desolation.
"How could the people from Spirit Hall know Tang Hao was here?"
"I should be the only one who knows about Tang Hao being near Nuoding City. Now that three Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall have come knocking, Tang Hao must think I was the one who leaked the secret!"
Yu Xiaogang felt as if a massive scapegoat's pot had been slammed squarely onto his head, pressing down so hard he couldn't breathe.
What the hell is this?
I clearly didn't do anything; I was even thinking about how to help him train his son.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, I've been labeled a 'traitor'?
Wronged!
