Douluo Continent: The Spirit A Yin, a Master of Both Bow and Sword

Chapter 173 Mutual Destruction

Tang Hao ignored her and walked forward without thinking. He opened his arms and embraced his wife with deep affection.

"Hao! Help me!"

"..."

Ah Yin's figure turned into specks of light and vanished like fireflies in the night, disappearing before Tang Hao's eyes.

"No! Gintoki! No!"

"do not leave Me!"

"do not leave Me!"

Tang Hao knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, his expression filled with immense pain. At that moment, being able to see his wife again was the greatest joy he could have ever experienced.

Ye Tianxing's sudden attack caused Tang Hao to lose the love of his life.

To this day, Ye Tianxing's whereabouts remain unknown. Tang Hao has searched the entire Douluo Continent but still cannot find any trace of Ye Tianxing.

Little did they know, Ye Ping'an, the mastermind behind all this, was lying in bed, secretly laughing.

"Last night, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun took a risk and made a move. Flander said he had to be on high alert tonight. I used a little trick to seduce Tang San, but I didn't expect that Tang Hao was also in the Royal Knights."

Tang Hao's appearance was indeed unexpected for Ye Tianxing. He had originally planned to use Ah Yin as bait to lure Tang San out and thus influence the latter's mentality.

As it turned out, Tang San's mentality fluctuated.

Tang San's eyes were shrouded in darkness, his neck was flushed, and he was breathing heavily, feeling both like crying and laughing. He asked, "Why? Your Majesty? Why is this happening?!"

Tang Hao suddenly woke up and chopped Tang San in the neck with a hand chop, thus preventing the situation from escalating.

"That damned Blue Silver King, he had to choose my son to die. While Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass has become slightly stronger, it's still far from the level of the Blue Silver Emperor. Now that the Blue Silver King is dead, Ah Yin has been kidnapped by Ye Tianxing, and the dormant Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Xiao San cannot awaken, what am I supposed to do?"

Tang Hao picked up Tang San and disappeared into the night.

The next day, at dawn.

As the soldiers rang the morning bell to signal the start of the new day, sleepy trainees emerged from the tents, still half-asleep. They were washing their faces, brushing their teeth, and getting ready for breakfast before the day's competition.

Ye Tianxing followed the flow of people, his gaze passing through the crowd, and saw Tang San, who had dark circles under his eyes, looked listless, and preoccupied.

"It seems Ah Yin really shocked Tang San last night. Let's see how Tang San performs today."

Ye Tianxing estimated that Tang San's performance today would be greatly reduced, and he would not be able to exert 100% of his original combat power.

Soon, the second round of the knockout stage began.

Today, Seven Leaf Star Academy's opponent is an old friend, Blazing Fire Academy.

"We've been assigned to Seven Leaf Star Academy for the second round. Hopefully, our luck will improve!"

Huo Wu scratched her fiery red short hair, looking quite helpless.

"As long as Ye Ping'an doesn't make a move, we are still confident," Huo Wushuang said calmly.

"Brother, what are you saying?!" Huo Wu exclaimed anxiously.

"I learned from Seven Leaf Star Academy that Ye Ping'an was scheduled to appear last. Their team only had seven people, one Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master and one Sharp-Tailed Swift Soul Master who were completely powerless in combat. Only five of them could actually hold their own."

"Therefore, I will fight with all my might in this battle. As long as we can fight until Ye Ping'an takes the stage, it doesn't matter if our Blazing Fire Academy loses."

Huo Wushuang slowly stood up and walked towards the arena.

On the other side, Seven Leaf Star Academy dispatched Yang Wumian to fight. His martial soul was the Soul-Breaking Spear, an extremely domineering weapon martial soul whose attack power was no less than that of the Seven Kill Sword.

On the arena, Huo Wushuang and Yang Wumian stared at each other, their eyes blazing with fierce fighting spirit.

"Yang Wumian from Seven Leaf Star Academy versus Huo Wushuang from Blazing Fire Academy, the battle begins!"

Huo Wushuang's four spirit rings lit up, he had a horn on his forehead, his hands were covered with flame scales, and he had a thick tail on his back. His body was covered with scales.

Yang Wumian was dressed in plain clothes and carried only a Soul-Breaking Spear.

At this moment, his eyes were resolute, and the Soul-Breaking Spear fired two scarlet spears. He himself held the spear and pierced through layers of flames, arriving in front of Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang's scaled hands gripped the spear tip tightly, making a clicking sound and sparks flying.

Both Huo Wushuang and Yang Wumian have reasons to win.

From the qualifiers to now, Blazing Fire Academy has never won against Ye Ping'an, not even once.

Huo Wushuang was planning to take this opportunity to win against Ye Ping'an's academy, even if it meant defeating just one of their members!

Ye Tianxing sat upright in the spectator seats, his gaze fixed on the battle unfolding on the arena below. He nodded and said, "Yang Wumian's clan, the Breaking Clan, wields the incomparably domineering Soul-Breaking Spear. He has strongly inherited his grandfather Yang Wudi's character—resolute and strong-willed. However, Huo Wushuang's combat power today is indeed beyond his usual level!"

Ye Tianxing raised an eyebrow. The battle on the arena below was still ongoing. He believed that with the combat strength of his team members, clearing the Blazing Fire Academy would be no problem at all.

The latest novel is first published here!

Naturally, Ye Tianxing glanced away and looked towards Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Flander, and the others looked serious. They would not let go of any opportunity to defeat Seven Leaf Star Academy. From the battle between Yang Wumian and Huo Wushuang, they were eager to learn more about their opponents.

The same applies to the other trainees on the field.

Tang San, however, remained out of sorts. The appearance of the strange woman last night, and his father's outburst at the time, were all deeply imprinted in Tang San's mind, lingering there.

The feeling of being connected by blood sent a shiver down Tang San's spine; he subconsciously thought that the woman was himself...

"Is it Mom? Is it?"

Tang San frowned, a guess forming in his mind. Sure enough, his father was hiding something from him.

Just as Tang San was guessing the odds, the battle between Huo Wushuang and Yang Wumian on the arena was about to be decided.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Break!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blazing Inferno!"

Yang Wumian held the Soul-Breaking Spear, its tip emitting a scarlet light. Using the explosive power of his right leg, he fearlessly thrust the spear forward.

Huo Wushuang was engulfed in flames, his hands covered in hard scales, and flames raged behind him, distorting the air itself.

One man, one gun; one man, one firearm; the two charged at each other with all their might.

When everyone's attention was focused on the arena, they saw that Yang Wumian's Soul-Breaking Spear had pierced Huo Wushuang's shoulder, and Huo Wushuang's right hand, covered with hard scales, had also deeply pierced Yang Wumian's chest.

A brief silence fell over the scene, followed by the two men collapsing to the ground simultaneously.

"Yang Wumian and Huo Wushuang, a draw."

This was an outcome no one had anticipated.

Then, Huo Wushuang and Yang Wumian were carried away.

Ye Tianxing nodded, and the Blazing Fire Academy was greatly encouraged, their morale soaring.
