Chapter 158. Your Breath Is Sin.
As her power grew, so did those pursuing her, eventually even Heaven-Shattering Douluo Tang Zha and Dragon Staff Douluo Qin John joined in.
With both of them exerting their combined might, Lin Mengtong risked her life along with them, severely wounding Qin John and escaping Tang Zha's clutches. However, Lin Mengtong herself was severely injured, one of her legs shattered by Tang Zha's Clear Sky Hammer.
Lin Mengtong once again hid in a cave, licking her wounds, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside.
Lin Mengtong was instantly alert.
"No need to hide. I know you're in there. I know you're in there, even across the entire Douluo Continent." This voice shattered Lin Mengtong's hopes.
She stepped out, leaning on her crutches, and saw a burly, imposing man standing outside the cave entrance, clutching a Clear Sky Hammer.
"Those bastards of the Clear Sky Sect," Lin Mengtong said through gritted teeth.
The next moment, a surge of overwhelming soul power pinned Lin Mengtong to the base of the wall.
The man declared, "The Haotian Sect is not something you can humiliate."
Lin Mengtong, overcome by this terrifying soul power, vomited blood.
"My name is Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo from twenty thousand years ago, the one you're looking for," Tang Hao declared.
"What? You—" Years of hatred washed over Lin Mengtong.
She glared at Tang Hao with resentment, then, without a word, unleashed her most powerful attack.
Ninth Soul Skill: Light of Death.
Lin Mengtong's evil eye locked onto Tang Hao, unleashing an unavoidable torrent of spiritual energy that annihilated him.
Tang Hao, observing this attack that even severely injured Qin John, let a scornful smile play on his face.
"An ant trying to shake a giant elephant?"
Even though Tang Hao wasn't adept at the spiritual realm, his god-level status was enough to crush even mortals.
His spiritual power countered Lin Mengtong's attack and retaliated.
Lin Mengtong's evil eye exploded, blood splattering everywhere. She absorbed the backlash, nearly collapsing mentally.
Then, another Clear Sky Hammer slammed down, crushing her body like a rag bag, smashing against the wall.
Dying, Lin Mengtong looked at Tang Hao approaching her and weakly said, "Before I die, can you tell me why?"
"Why?" Tang Hao looked at the girl before him and said, "Because your birth blocked my grandson's path, your birth was a mistake. Every breath you take is a sin!"
Hearing this, Lin Mengtong lost consciousness, filled with resentment and resentment.
Unbeknownst to her, she survived. At that moment, a ray of lifelight descended upon her, healing her.
"Brother Hao, you almost killed her! If you had, the situation would have been beyond our control," Ah Yin said.
Tang Hao said naively, "Ah Yin, I almost couldn't stop the hammer. Thanks to you."
Ah Yin looked at the unconscious Lin Mengtong, sighed, and said, "She's such a pitiful girl. If she weren't the Destined Child of this era..."
"She pities my grandson, doesn't she? From the moment she was born, she squeezed out my grandson's destiny as the Child of Fortune. Why? I, Tang Hao, guard the house for a mistress, and I will never tolerate such a person. In Douluo Continent, only my Tang family, only those of my Tang Hao lineage, can become gods." Tang Hao spoke as he lifted the healed Lin Mengtong and took her back.
When Lin Mengtong regained consciousness, she was splashed with a bowl of cold water.
"Evil Soul Master Lin Mengtong, do you admit your guilt?" the interrogator asked.
Lin Mengtong looked at the indictment before her, which included those she had killed, including Shrek, the Haotian Sect, and others.
"I killed those who were chasing me. Is there anything wrong with that? Should I wait to die in vain to satisfy you?" Lin Mengtong said self-deprecatingly.
The interrogator then presented a list of charges, saying, "You didn't just kill the heroes who were chasing you. Lin Mengtong, you massacred Xilin Village, didn't you? You also orchestrated the massacre of Wayne City, didn't you? And so on..."
The list of crimes laid bare the continent's heinous crimes, pinning them entirely on Lin Mengtong.
Lin Mengtong gained a clearer understanding of the sheer shamelessness of Shrek and its various factions.
"Alright, Lin Mengtong, do you plead guilty?"
Lin Mengtong replied, "I will admit to the crimes I committed, but not to those I didn't commit."
"Hmph, you're stubborn and rebellious. Punish me."
Just as some of the guards below were about to brand Lin Mengtong with branding irons, a voice stopped them.
"No need. Imprison him in the ice cell beneath Shrek's tower," Tang Hao suddenly appeared and said.
"As ordered," the interrogator said.
Just like that, Lin Mengtong was sunk into Shrek's ice prison, her lower body submerged in icy water, with only her head exposed.
Tang Hao stood outside the prison, watching Lin Mengtong and saying, "You won't die easily, Lin Mengtong. You'll remain trapped in this prison forever. Of course, our people will also provide you with three meals a day and ensure your survival until you are willing to confess."
"Tang Hao, you're dreaming—" Lin Mengtong's resentful voice echoed from within the prison.
"Brother Hao, what are we going to do if she dies in this prison?" Ah Yin asked.
"That's where your help is needed, Ah Yin. You're the life core. Just set up some formations around the prison to keep her alive at all times," Tang Hao said.
Ah Yin nodded and set up a formation around the ice prison. Then he asked, "What if she refuses to admit her fault?"
Tang Hao said, "That's easy. For the past forty years, we've only been trying to break her destiny as the Child of Destiny. When she used her evil spirit's characteristics to devour and increase her strength, the destiny of the Child of Destiny has already been broken." Tang Hao said, "The rest will be easy."
"Next, I'll set up a luck transfer formation here. Here, her luck will be continuously transferred to our Wu Lin. It won't take decades. Once the destiny of the Child of Destiny is condensed in Wu Lin, even if I kill her, it won't matter, because there can't be two Children of Destiny in the same era." Tang Hao said coldly.
Meanwhile, Ah Yin took a deep look at the ice prison. That poor girl, submerged in icy water from the head down, with only her head hanging there, unable to live or die, couldn't help but feel a surge of pity.
