I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 218 Chain Plan

"Yang Wudi!"

Tang Hao growled and barely raised the Clear Sky Hammer to block his chest.

"clang!"

The Soul-Breaking Spear collided with the Clear Sky Hammer, making a sharp metal collision sound.

Tang Hao was shocked by this force and retreated repeatedly. The injuries in his body worsened again and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yang Wudi sneered, approaching like a ghost, and thrust out the Soul-Breaking Spear again, pointing directly at Tang Hao's throat: "Tang Hao, you have come to this day!"

A hint of anger flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

He had never expected that his former subordinates would actually attack him. With great effort, he swung the Clear Sky Hammer violently, colliding with the Soul-Breaking Spear again.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, and Tang Hao's body was shaken and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.

"Yang Wudi, you actually joined the Xing Luo Empire!" Tang Hao said angrily, his breath a little weak.

Yang Wudi did not give him a chance to breathe, and thrust out the Soul-Breaking Spear again, with a cold light flashing on the tip of the spear: "Prepare to die, Tang Hao!"

"Humph, Xingluo Empire's lackeys. It seems that the Haotian Sect was right to abandon you!"

Tang Hao's eyes flashed, and his mental strength was concentrated to the extreme.

He is not in a good condition now. He has already used the ring explosion once. He does not have much soul power in his body and his meridians are already disordered.

However, how could he, a great Haotian Douluo, be defeated by a traitor?

"Ah!"

Tang Hao shouted loudly, and red lines emerged from the huge Clear Sky Hammer. The hundred thousand year soul ring on his body suddenly lit up, and the black hammer suddenly turned completely red.

"The one hiding in the dark should be Niu Gao. Don't hide anymore, let's come out and die together. Hahahaha..." With arrogant laughter, Tang Hao's right hand moved.

The huge hammer suddenly fell and smashed towards Yang Wudi in front of him.

"boom!"

A tall figure suddenly stood in front of Yang Wudi. Niu Gao opened his hands, his seventh soul ring lit up, and a thick soul power barrier appeared on his body.

However, the next moment, his martial spirit's true body began to crack inch by inch in front of the Clear Sky Hammer, and finally exploded with a loud bang.

"boom!"

The figures of Yang Wudi and Niu Gao flew backwards at the same time.

Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and his body was on the verge of falling.

"Haotian Douluo, you are worthy of being Haotian Douluo." Niu Gao propped himself up and said in a deep voice, "You are already seriously injured, and I can't even block a single move of yours."

Tang Hao snorted coldly, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Niu Gao, even you betrayed me?"

Niu Gao lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Tang Hao, the Haotian Sect abandoned us first. The old goat and I have made our own choices now, so it is naturally not considered a betrayal."

A trace of pain flashed across Tang Hao's eyes, which then turned into cold murderous intent: "Since you have chosen to be my enemy, don't blame me for being rude!"

He stood up suddenly, the soul power in his body burst out again, and the light on the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly lit up.

Even though he was seriously injured, his aura was still frightening.

Tang Hao roared angrily, and with the last of his soul power, he smashed down towards Niu Gao.

Niu Gao did not dodge, but crossed his arms, his eighth soul ring lit up, and took the blow head-on. His body was shaken back several steps, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still stood firmly in place.

"Tang Hao, please go." Niu Gao said in a low voice, "You saved my life before. The Haotian Sect is sorry for us, but I, the old Niu, cannot be ungrateful."

"Go away. From now on, we will be enemies." Niu Gao said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, a trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

If he had the chance, he really wanted to twist off the heads of these two traitors himself.

But he knew that he was no longer able to fight.

Tang Hao glanced coldly at Niu Gao and Yang Wudi, his voice hoarse and cold: "I, Tang Hao, will remember what happened today. One day, I will repay you a hundredfold!" After saying that, he turned around abruptly and rushed into the darkness.

"Hmph, Lao Niu, your acting skills are really good." Yang Wudi looked at Tang Hao's embarrassed back and snorted coldly.

Niu Gao scratched his head and said with a smile, "Old goat, you are wrongly accusing me. I am always an honest man."

Yang Wudi snorted coldly, put away the Soul-Breaking Spear, and looked at the direction where Tang Hao left with cold eyes.

"It's a pity. If the Third Prince hadn't told me to do so, I really hope to kill Tang Hao with my own hands."

Niu Gao did not answer, but just looked at Tang Hao's back silently, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Although it was a pre-rehearsed script, his words were sincere.

It was a dark night, outside of Xingluo City, in a dilapidated courtyard.

Tang Hao sat cross-legged on a simple wooden bed, his face as pale as paper.

His breathing was a little rapid, the soul power in his body was in disorder, and the injuries to his meridians made it feel like a knife cutting every time he circulated his soul power.

"I never thought that I, Tang Hao, would end up like this..." He whispered to himself, with a hint of self-mockery and unwillingness in his voice.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Tang Hao's ears moved slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He barely raised a trace of soul power, clenched the Haotian Hammer in his hand, and stared at the door.

"Who?" he asked coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his voice.

"Senior Tang, it's me." A clear voice came from outside the door, and then a young figure pushed the door open and walked in.

The moonlight poured in from outside the door, illuminating the man's face - it was Lu Feng.

A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Hao's eyes, but he immediately regained his stern expression: "It's you? Why are you here?"

Lu Feng smiled slightly and walked up to Tang Hao, his eyes showing a trace of concern: "Senior Tang, I happened to be in the Xingluo Empire. I saw you making a scene in the Xingluo Palace, so I came to see you."

Tang Hao sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Look at me? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Lu Feng shook his head and said seriously, "Senior Tang, I respect you as Haotian Douluo, and you were once a powerful figure on the continent. I have no ill intentions towards what happened today."

Tang Hao stared at Lu Feng. He was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Since you are here, just tell me. What do you want to do?"

Lu Feng took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Tang Hao: "This is a healing medicine I made myself. It has a miraculous effect on internal injuries. If Senior Tang doesn't mind, you can try it."

Tang Hao glanced at the vial and did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said coldly, "Why are you helping me? It seems that there is no friendship between us."

Lu Feng smiled and said calmly: "Senior Tang, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Xing Luo Empire is my enemy. And you are also their enemy."

Tang Hao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He stared at Lu Feng, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts: "What hatred do you have with the Xingluo Empire?"

Lu Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior, you should know about the succession to the throne of the Dai family, right? My girlfriend, Zhu Zhuqing, is the Crown Princess of the Xingluo Empire."

"We love each other, but we can't be together because of the engagement of the Xingluo royal family."

"I once swore that if I had the chance, I would cut Dai Mubai into pieces."

Tang Hao was silent for a moment, and finally reached out to take the small bottle from Lu Feng's hand. He opened the bottle cap, smelled the fragrance of the medicine, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This medicine... is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Feng smiled slightly: "If Senior Tang trusts me, you might as well give it a try."

Tang Hao didn't say anything more, poured out a pill and swallowed it. After a while, his complexion improved a little, and the soul power in his body gradually stabilized.

"This medicine... is indeed effective." Tang Hao said in a low voice with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

Lu Feng nodded and continued, "Senior Tang, your injuries are serious and you will need some time to recuperate. It is not advisable to stay here for long. I have a secret place where you can hide away from the limelight for a while."

A hint of vigilance flashed across Tang Hao's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded and said in a low voice: "Okay, I will trust you for now. However, if you dare to play any tricks, I, Tang Hao, will never let you go."

Lu Feng smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Senior Tang, I, Lu Feng, act according to my conscience and never betray my trust."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Tang Hao finally nodded: "Let's go."
