Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 196 The Asura Inheritance Delivered to Our Doorstep
With the death of the parasitic crimson nine-headed bat, the evil aura on the King of Slaughter completely disappeared, and his strength began to increase exponentially.

However, due to long-term parasitism and continuous electric shocks, Tang Chen's body is riddled with holes, and he has at most a year to live.

"who are you?"

Tang Chen, struggling to maintain his weakened state, looked at Lin Mu with a blank expression.

For some reason, he always felt weak and his limbs would twitch from time to time. Could it be that he had been parasitized by the blood-red nine-headed bat for too long and his body had been damaged to this extent?
"Who I am is not important; my disciple is your great-grandson."

Lin Mu did not introduce himself. If he wanted Tang Chen to hand over the Great Sumeru Hammer, he would definitely have to rely on blood relations. As long as Tang Chen witnessed Tang San's talent, he would naturally be willing to pass on the Great Sumeru Hammer.

"Great-grandson?"

After silently reciting the words, Tang Chen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to be saved by his great-grandson's teacher. It was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Thinking about all the years he had lost himself and missed out on so many things, Tang Chen sighed inwardly.

After a moment, he suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Thank you for waking me up this time. By the way, how did you come to be here? Is it to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain?"

"I came here to deal with the corrupters of the Killing City."

"what?"

Upon learning Lin Mu's purpose for coming here, Tang Chen was filled with disbelief. He had originally thought Lin Mu was here to obtain the Killing God Domain, but he never expected it was to destroy the Killing City.

As the successor of the Asura God, he could not ignore the fact that he had failed the test.

"Um, I still don't know how to address you, young man?"

"Lin Mu."

"Ahem, Brother Lin Mu."

Tang Chen coughed violently a few times, forcing his weak body to stand up, and said earnestly, "Although these fallen ones in the City of Slaughter are all deserving of death, you must not destroy the City of Slaughter. This is the place where the Asura God's legacy is passed down."

"God Shura?"

Lin Mu feigned ignorance. Of course he knew about the Asura God, but it was better to pretend he didn't for the time being.

At this moment, Tang Chen carefully examined Lin Mu, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny. He thought to himself, "This person's talent is quite good, even stronger than mine back then. He might be able to pass the Asura God's test."

Sensing Tang Chen's strange gaze, Lin Mu frowned slightly. What was this old guy plotting?
After a while, Tang Chen finally made up his mind, looked up at Lin Mu, and said, "Young brother, do you want the divine inheritance?"

"this."

Faced with the Asura God's inheritance offered to him, Lin Mu hesitated. Compared to the divine inheritance he had obtained before, the Asura God was obviously stronger, after all, he was one of the five great god kings.

But he wasn't really keen on accepting it.

On one hand, the Asura God had already set his sights on Xiao San, and even if he obtained the Asura God Sword, he might end up like Tang Chen.

On the other hand, he already planned to create his own godhood, and the Asura godhood was not compatible with him at all, unless he obtained the Asura Armor before becoming a god.

After some consideration, Lin Mu refused, saying, "I already have the inheritance of a god. If you want to pass on the inheritance to someone else, you might as well choose my disciple."

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen was taken aback at first, then immediately examined Lin Mu carefully and finally sensed a trace of divine sense on him, and it seemed that there was more than one.
Seeing that Lin Mu possessed a divine inheritance, Tang Chen didn't think much of it and sighed, "The Asura God Trial is not that easy; even I couldn't pass it."

“My disciple has twin martial souls. He cultivated to the Soul King level at the age of fourteen and should have already obtained the Killing God Domain. He is more suitable than me.”

"Twin martial souls? A fourteen-year-old Soul King?" Tang Chen's pupils dilated in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief. Was his great-grandson's talent really that amazing?
If that's the case, handing the Asura Divine Sword over to his great-grandson wouldn't be bad; it would be a way to make up for all the years of neglect.

"Where is he now?"

"Judging from the situation here, he has most likely already passed through the Hell Road."

After a pause, Lin Mu's eyes flashed, and he continued, "The matter here has been resolved. I'll take you to see him."

He went to great lengths for the Great Sumeru Hammer. As long as Tang Chen taught Xiao San the Great Sumeru Hammer, he wouldn't care whether Xiao San lived or died.

As for the Asura God test, he didn't care much at all. Anyway, the Asura God would eventually be delivered to Xiao San. He had even considered the scabbard of the Asura God Sword in advance, so it was basically a free gift.

In comparison, Tang Chen's situation was rather tragic. With his talent and strength, he might have passed the inheritance of other gods.

"Um--"

Tang Chen had little attachment to the City of Slaughter. Now that he had finally regained consciousness and knew that his days were numbered, he naturally wouldn't waste his remaining time there.

After meeting his great-grandson, whom he had never met before, he planned to set off for Poseidon Island.

Next, Lin Mu led Tang Chen away from the City of Slaughter.

He has already cleaned up most of the corrupt, and as long as the news doesn't leak out, there will definitely be more villains following in his footsteps. This will be a perfect prison.

Not long after, Lin Mu brought Tang Chen to find Tang San.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tang San pointed at Tang Chen and asked with a puzzled look, "Master, why did you bring the King of Slaughter out with you?"

Although Tang Chen was seriously injured, his aura as a Limit Douluo did not weaken, and he even stepped into the level of a demigod.

However, Tang Chen was already nearing the end of his life, and even if he reached the level of a demigod, he would still be no match for Lin Mu.

"He is your great-grandfather. As for why he is here, he will tell you himself."

Lin Mu said calmly.

Looking at the handsome young man before him, Tang Chen's eyes flashed with a complicated expression. In order to pursue love, he had indeed let down his family and sect.

After a moment, he said gently, "Child, let me see your martial spirit."

Upon hearing this, Tang San looked at Lin Mu and, after obtaining his master's permission, released his two martial souls.

The next moment, Tang Chen immediately grabbed Tang San's left hand, his eyes filled with excitement, and muttered to himself, "It really is a twin martial soul. This talent is indeed likely to pass the test."

"What kind of assessment?" Tang San asked, full of surprise.

Tang Chen did not directly explain this, but instead briefly recounted his experience, especially the process of entering the City of Slaughter to obtain the inheritance.

In short, although he initiated the Asura God Trial, he was influenced by the Rakshasa God and ultimately lost himself, becoming parasitized by the blood-red nine-headed bat and turning into the King of Slaughter.

After hearing his great-grandfather's complicated experiences, a strange light flashed in Tang San's eyes. No wonder Tang Hao turned out the way he did; everything had its reasons.

However, my great-grandfather was slightly better off. Although he abandoned his family and sect for love, he at least left behind a few unique skills.
