Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 123 Tang Hao wreaks havoc on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family

The autumn clouds churned eerily under the oppressive aura released by Tang Hao, as if the entire back mountain was being gripped by an invisible giant hand. Yu Yuanzhen slowly rose, leaning on his dragon-headed cane. The patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan had silver hair that moved without wind, and the dark dragon patterns on his robes appeared and disappeared amidst the surging soul power.

Nine blue-purple dragon shadows rose from his body, each wrapped in crackling lightning, electrifying the air within a hundred meters and filling it with a pungent, acrid smell.
"Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang has committed moral failings and betrayed his clan, which is a private matter of my Yu family. Don't think that you can interfere in other people's internal affairs just because you have a Clear Sky Hammer!"

Tang Hao took a half-step forward with his hands behind his back, and the ground instantly cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns. The dark red soul power swirling around him was almost tangible, condensing behind him into a hundred-meter-tall phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer, the flame patterns on the hammer turning the entire sky blood red.

As he slowly raised his hand, the soul power within a ten-mile radius began to gather wildly, and muffled thunder rumbled from the clouds: "The private matter you speak of, is it burying my son's mentor alive?"

His voice was deep and resonant, like magma surging underground, each word carrying a pressure capable of crushing mountains: "Tang San, go save your teacher."

Tang San, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, swooped down, the shockwave from his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique sending the Soul Emperor at the edge of the pit flying. Simultaneously, his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul bloomed, countless vines burrowing into the earth like serpents, gently yet powerfully lifting Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.

Yu Xiaogang's pale face was covered in mud, and the moment he saw Tang San, tears welled up in his cloudy eyes: "Little San..."

"Teacher, hold on!" Tang San untied his outer robe and wrapped it around the two of them. He activated his Blue Silver Domain at full power, continuously injecting healing energy into their bodies. He looked up at Tang Hao and Yu Yuanzhen, who were facing off. The eight spider spears on his back silently popped out, their tips gleaming with a scarlet cold light.

Seeing his clansmen easily repelled, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly manifested his dragon-shaped martial spirit form. A hundred-meter-long dragon coiled on the execution platform, its scales shimmering with blue-purple lightning, each flick of its whiskers accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound. A massive ball of lightning condensed in the dragon's mouth distorted the surrounding air into vortexes.

"Tang Hao, don't push your luck! The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has a history of ten thousand years, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Behind him, three hundred elders simultaneously formed hand seals, activating the family's secret technique, Ten Thousand Dragons Paying Homage to the Ancestor. The entire sky was obscured by blue-purple dragon shadows, and the earth and stones on the ground were lifted into the air by powerful soul force.

Tang Hao smiled dismissively, slowly raising his right hand, and the illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer instantly tripled in size.

His six spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and the terrifying power fluctuations caused the distant mountains to tremble: "So what? Back then, when a thousand spirit masters from the Spirit Hall surrounded and killed me, I still managed to make them bleed at Jialing Pass. Today, you, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs cowering in your ancestral hall!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung his hammer violently, and a blood-red beam of light, ten feet in diameter, tore through the sky, shattering space wherever it passed.

Yu Yuanzhen's dragon eyes widened, his massive mouth opened, and a thunderous roar erupted. Blue-purple lightning collided violently with the blood-red pillar of light, and the shockwave from the violent energy explosion leveled all the trees within a five-mile radius.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Tang Hao's figure appeared in mid-air like a ghost, and the second hammer fell with the force of splitting the heavens and earth. Yu Yuanzhen hastily swept his dragon tail, and the sparks from the collision between the scales and the Haotian Hammer fell like a meteor shower, the scorching embers burning countless deep pits into the ground.

"Patriarch, be careful!" The Third Elder and Fifth Elder rushed out simultaneously, joining forces to activate the family's secret technique, the "Nine Dragons Protecting the Heavens Formation." Nine luminous dragons circled above Yu Yuanzhen's head, barely managing to block this earth-shattering attack, but cracks instantly appeared in the formation, and the two elders were sent flying backward, bleeding from their seven orifices. They crashed into the dragon-patterned stone pillars of the execution platform, shattering the solid pillars into pieces.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Luomian launched a sneak attack from the side, her dragon claws gathering all her life's soul power as she aimed for Tang Hao's back. Tang San reacted swiftly, instantly shielding his father with his Blue Silver Cage while simultaneously unleashing his Eight Spider Lances to intercept the attack.

With a deafening roar, the Eight Spider Lances snapped in two. Tang San, however, used the recoil to slam his Clear Sky Hammer down on Yu Luomian. Yu Luomian dodged to the side, her dragon tail sweeping across, and the energy ripples from the collision with Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer carved several deep trenches, each a hundred meters deep, into the surrounding ground.

Tang Hao fought with increasing ferocity, and his seventh and eighth spirit rings lit up one after another.

"Ling Tian strikes!"

He roared and swung the Haotian Hammer, the huge hammer shadow carrying the power to tear space, crashing towards Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen roared to the sky, his scales glowing with an eerie purple light—a forbidden technique that burned the very essence of life. The dragon's body swelled to two hundred meters in length, and wherever its breath passed, the air began to distort, and the earth and rocks on the ground were directly evaporated into dust by the dragon's breath.

The ultimate clash between two unparalleled powerhouses unfolded on the execution ground.

Yu Yuanzhen's dragon body, burning its very essence, distorted space. Its dragon breath carried a blue-purple annihilation power, and wherever it went, even the air crackled with the sound of shattering glass.

At this moment, Tang Hao's Haotian True Body unleashed thousands of crimson-gold patterns. The energy flowing on the surface of the hammer was like boiling magma. The moment it crashed into the dragon's breath, a roar resounded between heaven and earth, as if Pangu had created the world.

Yellow soil slipped through Yu Xiaogang's trembling fingers, the suffocating feeling from being buried alive still lingering in his throat. As Tang Hao's dark red soul power surged like a tide over the back mountain, forcing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into a retreat, he leaned on Tang San's shoulder to barely stand up, a cold smile slowly creeping onto his mud-covered lips.

Liu Erlong's mottled, dragon-scale-covered arms immediately wrapped around his waist, and warm blood seeped into his skin through the tattered clothes, as if infused with scalding courage.

"See that?" Yu Xiaogang's voice was initially hoarse like a broken gong, but it grew louder and louder as Tang Hao and Yu Yuanzhen clashed. "These are the reinforcements that the worthless trash you call here have brought!"

He swayed and pushed away Tang San's support, staggering forward with his injured leg, the chains rattling and startling crows into flight. The clansmen who had once thrown stones at him now cowered below the execution platform. He walked straight to the Seventh Elder, looking down at the old man's face contorted with fear.

The scepter, inlaid with soul bones, clattered to the ground in the Seventh Elder's hand. His cloudy eyes reflected the hundred-meter-long phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer in the sky. "Didn't you say that my mutated martial soul was a disgrace to the family?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly coughed violently, spraying blood onto the other man's robe embroidered with dragon patterns. "Now let's see who should be ashamed of their shortsightedness!"

He suddenly ripped off the bronze shackles around his neck, the rusty chains crashing to the ground with a loud thud, startling those around him into instinctively backing away.

On the execution platform, Yu Yuanzhen's dragon body, burning with its very essence, collided with Tang Hao's Haotian True Body, creating a deafening roar. Yu Xiaogang, however, paid no heed, turning to face his entire clan, tearing open his blood-soaked robes to reveal the gruesome whip marks on his chest:
"You use clan rules as weapons, accusing me of being a traitor, a member of the clan, and a plagiarist!" His voice ripped through the clouds. "But my martial soul theory has already trained ten Soul Kings at Shrek Academy! Tang San's twin martial soul cultivation method is unprecedented!"

Gasps rose and fell from the crowd. Yu Xiaogang pointed at Tang San, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul behind the boy radiating a soft golden light: "He is not only the son of Haotian Douluo, but also the disciple I, Yu Xiaogang, personally taught! When you buried me alive, did you ever think that one day you would be trampled underfoot by the trash disciple you despised?"

His gaze swept over the Jade Crown—which was now crawling out of the rubble in a disheveled state, its dragon scales shattered and blood trickling from its mouth.

"Yu Luomian, you say I've tarnished the family's reputation?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with the exhilaration of ten years of humiliation finally being avenged. "If you hadn't thrown me into the mass grave back then, if you hadn't imprisoned Liu Erlong in the ancestral hall, how could we have ended up like this?" He grasped Liu Erlong's scarred hand, dragon blood dripping from their intertwined fingers, blooming into eerie flowers on the scorched earth.
"Look at your so-called glory, it's nothing but a cage woven from outdated rules!"

In the sky, Tang Hao smashed Yu Yuanzhen's dragon tail with a single blow, and countless blue-purple scales fell like blood rain.

Yu Xiaogang, however, opened his arms to face the rain of blood, letting the scales tear his skin: "You say I plagiarized the Spirit Hall's theories?"

As Yu Yuanzhen let out his final roar, his dragon body, burning with life, exploded.

In the instant the blast wave overturned the execution platform, Yu Xiaogang, shielded in Liu Erlong's arms, still peered out and shouted at the ruins:

"Yu Yuanzhen! You will never understand until your death that the one who truly brings shame to the family is not me, but you bunch of cowards who are afraid of change!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but laughed maniacally, "When Tang San becomes a Title Douluo, when my Martial Soul theory spreads throughout the continent, your names will be forever etched on the pillar of historical shame!"

Before the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, the broken dragon scales of the jade crown made a soft, rustling sound in the wind.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his bloodshot eyes burning with a frenzied flame as he stared intently at Yu Xiaogang. The earth-shattering duel between Tang Hao and Yu Yuanzhen had left him battered and bruised, but now, hatred had completely consumed his reason.

"You bastard!"

Yu Luomian's roar tore through the air, and her dragon-shaped martial spirit reappeared, with unstable purple arcs of electricity crackling from between her damaged dragon scales.

"You dare to spout nonsense here? The honor of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family cannot be trampled on by you!" He stomped his foot, and the ground cracked open. Several bolts of lightning shot out from the cracks, lunging at Yu Xiaogang like venomous snakes.

Liu Erlong's pupils shrank suddenly, and nine blue lightning dragon shadows instantly circled around her, trying to stop her, but she was entangled by Yu Luomian's two trusted Soul Emperors.

Tang San was about to step forward when he saw this, but Tang Hao stopped him.

"Let him face it himself," Tang Hao said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the battlefield like a hawk's. "Some debts should be settled personally."

Despite his injuries, Yu Xiaogang faced the oncoming thunder without retreating. Instead, he advanced, his hoarse voice filled with mockery: "Yu Luomian, is this all you've got left to do? The death of your father and the downfall of your family, have they made you furious?"

This statement thoroughly enraged Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was in a sorry state but still stubborn, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul trembled violently, and blinding lightning flashed from between his damaged dragon scales. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

"You damned fool!"

His voice was deep and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell, "Still dare to spout nonsense here? Today I'll let you know that a mutated martial soul will always be a disgrace to the family!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Luomian vanished like a ghost, appearing in front of Yu Xiaogang in the next second. His dragon claw, crackling with lightning power, slashed down fiercely. Yu Xiaogang had no time to react and could only instinctively raise his arm to block.

With a crisp "crack," Yu Xiaogang's arm instantly broke, and he was thrown away by the enormous force, crashing heavily into the stone pillar of the execution platform.

Luo Sanpao let out a terrified cry, poking half its body out of Yu Xiaogang's spirit space. Its pink body trembled violently as it tried to rush out to protect its master. But its feeble strength was utterly insignificant before Yu Luomian. Yu Luomian glanced at Luo Sanpao contemptuously, then casually shot out a bolt of lightning. Luo Sanpao screamed and was sent flying back into its spirit space.

"see it?"

Yu Luomian slowly walked towards Yu Xiaogang, who was struggling to get up. Each step felt like it was treading on his heart.
"This is the fate of mutated martial souls. You think you can change anything with a few twisted arguments? The glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, passed down for ten thousand years, is not something a piece of trash like you can question!"

He stomped on Yu Xiaogang's chest with such force that blood kept gushing from Yu Xiaogang's mouth.

Yu Xiaogang was almost breathless from being trampled, but his eyes remained defiant. "Glory?" he managed to squeeze out a few words. "Your so-called glory is nothing but the oppression of the weak! Just because my martial soul mutated, I'm to be thrown into a mass grave; just because I pursue the truth, I'm to be stripped of everything. Is this your glory?"

Enraged, Yu Luomian grabbed Yu Xiaogang's neck with his other hand: "Shut up! Your mother risked her life to give birth to you, and I spared your life—that's the greatest mercy I could show. But what about you? You cheated on your cousin, betrayed the family, and now you dare to try and shake the foundations of the family with those absurd theories! Today, I will put an end to your delusional fantasies!"

His dragon claws began to gather soul power, preparing to deliver the final blow to Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing this, Liu Erlong let out a desperate roar, and nine blue lightning dragon shadows frantically roamed around her, trying to break free from the restraints of the soul power chains.

"Let him go! Come at me if you dare!" Her voice was filled with pain and anger, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Tang San also wanted to rush forward, but Tang Hao stopped him.

"Don't rush," Tang Hao said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on Yu Luomian. "He has to face all of this himself."

Yu Xiaogang felt his consciousness gradually fading, but his inner obsession grew stronger. He recalled his years of wandering on the Douluo Continent, the moments he spent teaching students at Shrek Academy, and the awe-inspiring moment when Tang San first unleashed his twin martial souls. These images flashed through his mind, giving him strength.

"You think—" Yu Xiaogang suddenly laughed, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth—"You think you can kill my body and erase my thoughts? Wrong! My theories have already taken root at Shrek Academy, and my disciples will spread them throughout the entire continent. Even if I die here today, you cannot stop the progress of the times!"
