Chapter 244: The True Identity of the Slaughter King Is... Forcing Bibi Dong to Retreat!
"This brat is Tang San? If the Spider Empress came here to hunt him down, then naturally, I have no problem handing him over to you. But what about that guy, the Hammer Emperor Tang Hao?"
Staring at Tang San, the Slaughter King's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He spoke viciously, but still couldn't help bringing up Tang Hao.
Hmm... this is very much like the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King!
Logically speaking, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King had taken over Tang Chen's body.
With the ability to summon the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and even having Tang Chen's soul ring configuration for it...
If the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King could fully utilize the power of this body, there would be no need to fear Tang Hao or Bibi Dong.
Even if both of them fought together, they might not be able to defeat it!
Unfortunately, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King clearly couldn't unleash that level of power.
Moreover, given how it absolutely didn't want any new Killing Gods to appear in the Slaughter City, there's a good chance it had already clashed with Tang Hao and Bibi Dong when they became Killing Gods.
But in the end, it likely didn't gain much from the encounter.
Thus, deep down, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King still greatly feared Tang Hao.
"Heh, you're talking about Tang Hao? He's already dead!"
In response to the Slaughter King's question, Bibi Dong casually delivered this piece of news.
"Dead?!"
Upon hearing Bibi Dong's answer and learning that Tang Hao was dead, the Slaughter King couldn't help but burst with joy inside.
As the ruler of Slaughter City, the Slaughter King always considered himself the uncrowned king of the city. Unfortunately, there were always two major threats hanging over his head.
One was Bibi Dong, the other was Tang Hao.
If there was only one of them, he felt he could handle it.
But if both teamed up to seize power from him, he might be driven out of Slaughter City—this was a long-standing source of anxiety for him.
Now, discovering that only one of the two Killing Gods remained, there was no longer a threat to his throne. And with a future threat standing right before him, he could remove it today. The Slaughter King was laughing wildly inside.
However, even as he laughed internally at Tang Hao's death, a surge of inexplicable sadness and fury suddenly overwhelmed the Slaughter King's heart.
"Not good!"
In an instant, the Slaughter King's expression changed drastically. He let out a shrill scream mid-air, clutching his head in agony and crying out in pain.
In his eagerness to ask about Tang Hao, he had forgotten—Tang Hao was the grandson of the body he had possessed!
Now, upon hearing of his grandson's death, the original consciousness inside the body began to resist and erupt.
Seeing the Slaughter King suddenly clutching his head and screaming mid-air, Bibi Dong's cold and beautiful face showed a trace of confusion. She didn't immediately react.
At the same time, on the ground, Tang San had given up on struggling. He was preparing to launch a final verbal retaliation against the Spirit Hall before accepting his fate.
"Spirit Hall! You actually dared to kill my father!"
"Even though I can't defeat you yet and can't take revenge, you may be able to kill me now—but if I survive, I will make your Spirit Hall pay!!"
Suddenly standing up from the ground with difficulty, Tang San glared at Bibi Dong in the sky with bloodshot eyes, panting furiously, his chest heaving like bellows, and roared toward the sky.
If an ordinary person died, they would really be dead.
But Tang San believed he might be different. In his previous life, even after dying, he retained his memories and was reincarnated. Maybe it could happen again.
If he were to be reborn on the Douluo Continent and could once again become strong, he would definitely take revenge on the Spirit Hall—for both his father Tang Hao and himself!
But upon hearing Tang San's harsh words, Bibi Dong simply sneered with disdain, not taking his threats seriously at all.
Because every year, when the Spirit Hall hunted down evil and fallen soul masters, countless of them had shouted similar threats.
And yet they were all killed, buried, and turned into nutrients for the Douluo Continent!
Meanwhile, in Heaven Dou Imperial City, just seconds later, Lin Yu—who was in the alchemy chamber refining pills—sensed Tang San's words and emotional fluctuations through a spiritual mark and couldn't help but sneer.
This little Tang San still expects to be reincarnated?
Reincarnated where? To the Fairy Continent and fight over pig's milk?
Even though Bibi Dong and Lin Yu both mocked Tang San's threats...
Hearing those words, the Slaughter King could no longer suppress the fury of Tang Chen's soul—enraged upon learning of his grandson Tang Hao's death.
In that instant, Tang Chen's soul broke through the control of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and regained his body.
"Ah!!! Spirit Hall! You dare kill my grandson—courting death!!"
Suddenly, in the midst of his shrieks, the Slaughter King's voice abruptly cut off. His expression and aura changed drastically, and he stood up with a furious roar, instantly summoning a giant Clear Sky Hammer wrapped in blood-red patterns, and charged straight at Bibi Dong.
"Seventh Soul Ring, Martial Soul True Body!"
"Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Detonation!"
Charging at Bibi Dong, Tang Chen—having regained control of the body in his rage—unleashed his seventh soul skill: Martial Soul True Body. He detonated his first six soul rings one after another, forcefully extracting their berserk soul power and pouring it all into the Clear Sky Hammer's true form.
In that moment, a violent surge of soul power erupted from Tang Chen's body. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand grew massively, its hammerhead radiating intense yellow, purple, and black light.
Seeing the Slaughter King suddenly change demeanor and summon the Clear Sky Hammer to strike her, Bibi Dong didn't immediately react.
However, she had always been cautious around the Slaughter King.
So although the sudden shift in his stance seemed strange, the moment he attacked—
Bibi Dong instantly activated the teleportation soul skill of her 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit right leg bone, vanishing to the side and dodging Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer strike.
Then, Bibi Dong summoned her Death Spider Emperor martial soul and used various control-type soul skills like her first skill Death Spider Silk Bind and third skill Death Spider Web Restraint to prevent the Slaughter King—now under Tang Chen's control—from getting close.
However, Tang Chen was still Tang Chen.
Learning that his grandson Tang Hao had been killed, and having temporarily broken free of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's soul suppression, Tang Chen had resolved to sacrifice himself to protect his great-grandson Tang San.
With a furious roar, Tang Chen unleashed the Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Detonation again, detonating all nine of his soul rings to severely injure Bibi Dong and force her out of Slaughter City.
Afterward, allowing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to enter Slaughter City, Tang Chen could no longer hold on. His conscious control of the body was once again seized by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
But this time, the expression on the Slaughter King's sinister face was extremely grim.
