Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 345 Complimentary Wisdom

As if he had heard some unbelievable news, Tang San froze on the spot, staring blankly at Huo Yuhao.

Then, as if he had opened Pandora's box, he could no longer conceal the ferocity and murderous intent in his heart.

"Hmm...why do you seem a little unhappy to see me?"

Noticing Tang San's contorted expression, Huo Yuhao tilted his head in confusion: "I heard you descended to the mortal realm once while I was unconscious, thanks to Titan. I thought you were eager to see me..."

At this point, Huo Yuhao paused, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Compared to your mother Ah Yin being captured alive at the Golden Tree, and your brother-in-law Titan being beaten half to death by me at the Clear Sky Sect, is this trouble also so 'insignificant' to you?"

"You deserve to die..."

Whether provoked by Huo Yuhao's mocking expression or never expecting that his harsh words would one day become a sword piercing him, Tang San's handsome face became as ferocious and terrifying as a wild beast.

"Huo Yuhao, you're practically asking for death!!!"

This anger stemmed not only from the death of his companion, but also from what he was about to face.

Although she is only a second-level deity, Ning Rongrong's support abilities are undoubtedly powerful.

As his key reliance in fighting against the God of Destruction, Ning Rongrong has now been killed by Huo Yuhao. What will he use to fight against him now?

Please ask Ji Dong and Lie Yan to help revive me?

By using the pretext of selecting an heir to interfere in the mortal realm, Ning Rongrong will face a long period of imprisonment even if she is resurrected.

Furthermore, the God of Destruction knows about his relationship with Ning Rongrong and will definitely interfere, making it impossible for him to be released so easily.

It's not just Ning Rongrong; if this matter isn't handled properly, it could also create a rift between him and Oscar, the God of Cookery.

After all, someone's wife came to help you out of kindness, but not only did she lose her life, she also had to go back to jail even after she was resurrected. Who wouldn't be angry in that situation?

Of course, what he found most unacceptable was the punishment that the Divine Realm Committee would impose on him.

Given the circumstances surrounding Lieyan and Ji Dong's counterattack against the second-level deities of the God Realm, Ning Rongrong's death must have already attracted the full attention of the God Realm Committee.

As the person accompanying and supervising, I undoubtedly bear an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.

He narrowly escaped the Titan incident by using the excuse of protecting Xiao Qi. What should he do this time?

Without a doubt, the God of Destruction would not let go of this opportunity to damage his reputation.

After this battle, I'm afraid I've completely lost the right to compete with him, and he might even kick me while I'm down and trample on me.

And all of this was caused by this damned human in front of me!

He no longer wanted to think about whether Huo Yuhao's appearance in front of him was a trap set by the will of the plane. In any case, the situation was already extremely bad, and he no longer needed to worry about whether it would continue to deteriorate.

He would figure out what to do about the divine realm later; right now, all he wanted to do was make the guy in front of him pay the price before he returned to the divine realm!

"I must admit, the wisdom of the dimensional will and the Silver Dragon King standing behind you is truly commendable..."

The cold voice echoed slowly, causing ripples to gradually appear on the originally calm sea. Looking down indifferently at the white-haired youth who dared to challenge the majesty of the gods, Tang San's eyes flashed with astonishing killing intent.

"But they shouldn't be complacent because of a slight advantage, much less send you here to swagger in front of me before they have complete control of the situation!"

As he finished speaking, he finally stopped suppressing his spiritual aura, and his vast cultivation, which had already transcended the limits of this world, was revealed without reservation at this moment.

Peak of a Level Two God!

Even if it was just a wisp of his soul, Tang San's cultivation had already far surpassed that of Titan, whom Huo Yuhao had to fight so hard that he was seriously injured before he could barely defeat.

Unlike Ning Rongrong, who possessed the cultivation of a second-level deity but lacked any combat power and was at the mercy of others, his rich experience undoubtedly allowed him to unleash combat power far exceeding his cultivation level.

Even with the blessing of the divine artifact, the Golden Trident, he now possesses the potential to defeat a first-level deity using only his divine soul.

The waves on the sea grew larger and larger, until finally, without warning, terrifying giant waves, like a natural disaster, began to rise. From the deafening roar of the raging waves, the high and mighty deity made his judgment on the boy before him.

"After I kill you, I'll go and take care of that guy with the same name as me. The price for the arrogance of the person behind you will be paid with your life!"

Unexpectedly, however, he did not see a trace of fear or panic on Huo Yuhao's face; instead, he saw only a subtle expression that was difficult to describe.

It's like looking at an idiot.

No, I'm already standing right in front of him, and this guy still thinks he has someone backing him up?

What on earth has he been thinking about lately?

Huo Yuhao silently complained in his heart, but his gaze kept sweeping towards the golden trident in the other's hand.

We need to find a way to get this thing over here...

He pursed his lips, drew his Life Sword, and looked up at Tang San with a half-smile.

"Although I always advocate treating people with courtesy, if an actor is unwilling to cooperate, I don't mind taking some coercive measures. Of course, if there's anything too rough in the process..."

"That was on purpose."

Almost the instant the words fell, Huo Yuhao's face crossed space and appeared in front of Tang San.

Close at hand.

Then, he suddenly stretched his arm forward and thrust the emerald green short blade with dark pink patterns straight towards the other man's throat.

"With strength like this, how dare you stand before me!?"

As if provoked by an ant, Tang San roared, his trident slightly raised, easily deflecting the short blade before thrusting forward, aiming straight for Huo Yuhao's heart.

Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged. As his first spirit ring lit up, the twin swords in his left hand materialized, unleashing a scorching heat that could boil the seawater below.

Hyotei's Claw, Blazing Slash!

With that terrifying power, crimson flames surged forth like a tsunami, following the longsword's pull, and slashed down onto the trident's blade.

clang--

Amidst the piercing buzzing sound, Tang San felt a tremendous force strike him from the long handle. Caught off guard, he was forced forward by the force, and the trident in his hand sank uncontrollably downwards.

The next second, Huo Yuhao raised his foot and stomped heavily on the halberd blade, while at the same time, the short blade in his right hand stabbed towards Tang San who was coming towards him.

The whole process was seamless and smooth, looking as if Tang San had accidentally stepped into thin air and run into Huo Yuhao's attack.

However, Tang San was extremely experienced in combat. Faced with Huo Yuhao's attack, he did not choose to dodge or block. Instead, he used the force of his stomp to flip the trident in his hand and used the spike at the end of the long handle to stab Huo Yuhao's throat.

He wanted to force Huo Yuhao to defend himself by trading blows!

After all, compared to Huo Yuhao, who would lose his life if his vital points were hit, he was just a wisp of a soul. Even if his head was pierced, he would only be injured and it would not affect his actions.

Therefore, he was certain that his opponent would take the initiative to withdraw and defend, which would allow him to switch from passive defense to active offense and control the rhythm of the battle.

However, the result was destined to disappoint him. Huo Yuhao showed no intention of stopping, but instead chose to release the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings on his back.

boom--

Under Tang San's incredulous gaze, the enormous dragon wings ripped apart Huo Yuhao's shirt, whipping up two completely opposite gusts of wind.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the seawater beneath Huo Yuhao seemed to be split in two. On the left, large patches of frost spread out, while on the right, it appeared to be boiling, constantly spewing out scalding white steam.

Immediately afterwards, the ice dragon wing on the left extended towards Huo Yuhao in a very short time, accurately blocking the trident's attack route while not hindering the life sword thrust out by his right hand.

There was no time for Tang San to take any other countermeasures. As the Sword of Life pierced his forehead, the tip of the trident also pierced Huo Yuhao's Ice Dragon Wing with overwhelming force.

Although its strength has reached the standard of a divine artifact, the Ice and Fire Dragon Wings, as a soul bone formed from energy, are ultimately quite different from a divine artifact like the Trident, which has been refined with countless rare and precious materials.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Even though Huo Yuhao had been nurturing it with the power of faith, a few short years were not enough for it to close the gap with top-tier artifacts.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao didn't need it to completely block the trident's attack at this time. As long as it could buy him enough time to dodge, its mission was already mostly accomplished.

Seeing the golden spike piercing through the ice dragon's wings and heading straight for his throat, Huo Yuhao slightly turned his head, effortlessly dodging this potentially fatal blow. Then, he activated the original sin of jealousy hidden within the Sword of Life.

A bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped Tang San's body, and as dark pink lines began to spread from the wound on his forehead, he clearly felt an indescribable stagnation in the flow of his power.

How is that possible?!

Although he is currently only a wisp of divine soul, he still possesses the foundation of a god-king. Logically speaking, unless those original sin gods personally intervene, these abilities should not be able to affect him in the slightest.

But now, a human is actually able to seal his cultivation like the god of jealousy?

"You, you are... the source of original sin?"

"Hmm? You got it right."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It's a pity there's no reward."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's admission, Tang San stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me?!

He had previously thought that Huo Yuhao's abilities, which were considered to be of original sin, were secretly bestowed upon him by the subordinates of the God of Destruction, but now it seems that this was not the case at all.

This is tantamount to dispersing one's own cultivation and transferring power; what kind of good person would do such a thing?

Even if Huo Yuhao is truly being groomed as an heir, isn't this going a bit too far?

Having given them the most important thing, are those seven not planning to stay in the realm of gods?

And this doesn't add up!

Before he descended to the mortal realm, he paid special attention to the situation of several gods of original sin. Their energy and spirit were in excellent condition, showing no signs of self-sacrifice for the sake of others.

Even though he was full of questions, the urgent situation at the moment did not allow him to continue asking.

Just kidding, if this continues, his cultivation will probably be completely sealed away.

With golden light bursting from his trident, Tang San swung it horizontally with all his might, once again unleashing the second move of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, A Thousand Years of Empty Space!

In an instant, the tsunami surged forth. Even though Huo Yuhao had taken a defensive stance in advance and wrapped himself in dragon wings, he was still uncontrollably blown away by that vast force.

But unlike before, this time even though he took the hit head-on, he didn't suffer any obvious injuries.

Seeing this scene, which was completely opposite to the one where the dragon wing defense had been broken through by the trident just now, Tang San's face turned extremely ugly.

It was obvious that his strength had weakened.

In just two or three seconds, his power had already been weakened to this extent by the power of the source of jealousy!

While there are many reasons for all of this, such as the fact that he is not present in his true form, lacks resistance to the power of original sin, and the fact that the injury is to his head, a critical location, one thing is undeniable.

That is the source of original sin controlled by Huo Yuhao, whose potential is in no way inferior to the original sin gods of the God Realm.

Where the hell did this guy get this weird stuff?

Taking a deep breath, Tang San's eyes hardened again, and his expression became unusually calm.

He is the most powerful deity in the divine realm and one of the three enforcers who govern the divine realm!

Even if he is just a wisp of a soul at this moment, and even if some of his strength is sealed, he is still not someone that overestimates himself like Huo Yuhao can defeat!

His trident swinging motions were no longer grand and sweeping, but rather a light sway in the air, instantly creating golden halos that seemed to condense out of thin air.

The first move of the Golden Thirteen Halberds – Unpredictable Storms!

As his favorite skill, Unpredictable Storm is not only a combination of offense and defense, but also boasts the reputation of being the strongest controller in the divine realm.

If it were his true form that used it, once bound by that golden halo, even a god-king would be forcibly controlled for three seconds.

Most importantly, once this skill locks on, it is almost impossible to dodge, and there is no other solution except to use skills to counter it.

However, just as he was about to launch his attack, he suddenly saw the ice dragon wings on Huo Yuhao's back light up without warning.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

It was as if a segment of time or memory had been suddenly ripped away.

Huo Yuhao, who had been sent flying by him earlier, had silently returned to his side.

Then, before he could react, the Sword of Life was plunged into his forehead once more.

His jealousy kicked in again, quickly sealing his cultivation.

Seemingly noticing the confusion in Tang San's eyes, Huo Yuhao asked with a light laugh.

"How did it feel to have time frozen, even though it was only for two seconds?"
