Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 247 Xiao'er, I am your grandfather!

"Achoo, achoo!"

While rushing along, Tang Shenwang suddenly felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help but sneeze twice.

"What's wrong, mistress?"

Tang Xiao looked concerned. Tang San, whose father had died, regarded Tang Xiao as his new father, and Tang Xiao, a bachelor without a son, also loved Tang San as his own son.

"Uncle, I'm alright!"

Tang San gently shook his head: "Let's hurry and get going!"

Tang Xiao said no more, and the uncle and nephew continued on their way.

Tang Xiao had been to the City of Slaughter before, when he accompanied Tang Hao on a training trip.

As for why he didn't enter the Killing City, the reason is quite simple.

No sect would put all its eggs in one basket. The City of Slaughter is fraught with danger. Although Soul Masters who can pass the trials there will become the best among their peers, what if they can't make it out?

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were leading figures among the younger generation of the Haotian Sect. If both of them perished in the City of Slaughter, wouldn't the Haotian Sect's lineage be broken?

Therefore, only Tang Hao, who had the better talent, entered the City of Slaughter, while Tang Xiao stayed outside as a backup in case of emergency.

Relying on his past memories, Tang Xiao quickly led Tang San to the tavern that concealed the entrance to the City of Slaughter.

"We're going into Killing City!"

Unlike in the original story, Tang Xiao did not test Tang San like Tang Hao did, by making him drink the Bloody Mary made with human blood. Instead, he went straight to the counter and spoke to the waiter there.

Compared to Tang Hao, Tang Xiao doted on his nephew Tang San more, perhaps because Tang San was the only thing his brother and goddess left behind in the world.

"To enter the City of Slaughter, you must pass the tests it has set before you!"

The waiter didn't even lift an eyelid, waving his hand impatiently and saying, "Get in line at the back!"

"What if I don't!"

Although Tang Xiao did not enter the City of Slaughter, Tang Hao had told him the rules after returning from the City of Slaughter: there were no rules. If he obediently listened to the waiter and went to the back of the line, he could forget about ever entering the City of Slaughter in his lifetime.

"Damn it, this old bastard actually dared to cut in line!"

"I think those two guys are asking for trouble!"

Before the waiter could answer, the surrounding patrons had already stood up. These fallen men, who had been obediently listening to the waiter and waiting here for who knows how long, had been suppressing their feelings to the extreme. Now, as if they had found an outlet, they surrounded Tang Xiao and Tang San with ferocious expressions.

The waiter narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Kill these two rule-breakers!"

Upon hearing this, these Fallen Ones either released their Martial Souls or drew their weapons, grinning maliciously as they pounced on Tang Xiao and Tang San.

"court death!"

Tang Xiao let out a cold shout, and a surge of powerful soul energy erupted from his body. Nine soul rings, one yellow, one purple, one black ...

boom!

With a deafening roar, the entire tavern exploded instantly. The fallen ones who had surrounded the tavern didn't even have time to scream before Tang Xiao smashed them into dust with a terrifying hammer blow, leaving not even a single intact corpse behind.

Tang Xiao stood amidst a pile of ruins. Now, on this land, apart from his eldest nephew Tang San, only the waiter he had spoken to was still standing—no, he was kneeling.

"The Clear Sky Hammer, a Title Douluo, you...you are Tang Xiao!"

Although the City of Slaughter is located in a wild and desolate place, the person in charge of the City of Slaughter left outside has heard of the fame of Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the twin stars of Haotian, especially since one of them is the God of Slaughter who came from the City of Slaughter.

However, since the person in front of me does not have the Killing God Domain, it can only be Tang Xiao, the current sect master of Haotian Sect who has not entered the City of Slaughter.

"good!"

Tang Xiao readily admitted his identity, pointing at Tang San and saying, "This is my second brother, the son of Tang Hao, the God of Slaughter who emerged from the City of Slaughter over thirty years ago. He is the one who will be entering the City of Slaughter for training. Now, can you open the entrance to the City of Slaughter?"

deterrence!

The Nine Star Palace did not deliberately publicize Tang Hao's death, so Tang Xiao brought Tang Hao up at this time. A titled Douluo in the open plus a killing god hiding in the shadows, such a lineup is enough to intimidate the City of Slaughter. At least the City of Slaughter will not dare to do anything underhanded to Tang San in the open.

Tang San immediately understood Tang Xiao's intention and felt a warmth in his heart.

"Okay, okay!"

The waiter didn't dare say anything more and hurriedly went to the side to start operating the mechanism.

"Little Three, you can't use your soul skills inside the City of Slaughter, so your uncle can't go in to protect you. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself in the City of Slaughter!"

Tang Xiao said to Tang San, "Come back alive! Your uncle is waiting for you at the Clear Sky Sect the day you return with the God of Slaughter Domain!"

Tang San nodded emphatically: "I will, Uncle!"

Rumble~~~

Just as the uncle and nephew were talking, the mechanisms of the Slaughter City were activated, and a huge hole appeared in front of Tang Xiao and Tang San.

Just then, Saga made his move silently. Tang Xiao and Tang San only felt a blur before their eyes, and they found themselves in a completely dark space, with only a figure completely enveloped in blood-red light in front of them.

"Hey, mistress, come behind me!"

The energy fluctuations released by the blood-red light made Tang Xiao extremely wary. He immediately shouted and pulled Tang San behind him, releasing his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, with nine spirit rings appearing simultaneously.

"Haotian Hammer".

Hidden within the blood-red light, Xiao Yu deliberately lowered his voice, creating an air of profound old age: "You are a disciple of the Haotian Sect, who are you?"

Tang Xiao gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly and replied, "I am Tang Xiao!"

"Xiao'er, it's you, Xiao'er!"

Xiao Yu feigned excitement: "So many years have passed! Xiao'er, you've grown so much! If it weren't for your Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, I wouldn't even recognize you!"

"Senior, who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao already had a guess, and he suppressed his excitement and asked.

"Xiao'er, I am your grandfather!"

As Xiao Yu spoke, he flung the Haotian Token in his hand away: "I cannot escape this bloody light to meet you right now. This Haotian Token can prove my identity!"

"grandfather!"

Tang Xiao took the Haotian Token and examined it closely. Confirming it was genuine, he immediately knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "Grandfather, where have you been all these years? Xiao'er has missed you so much!"
