Clap, clap, clap!
Bai Mu lightly clapped his hands as he stepped forward at an unhurried pace. A faint smile rested on his lips, his voice carrying a trace of admiration.
"As expected of the Clear Sky Douluo. Even while gravely injured, you still managed to wound my Yveltal."
Hearing that familiar voice, Tang Hao abruptly lifted his head.
When he clearly saw who had appeared, his pupils shrank violently, disbelief flooding his face.
"You… how could it be you?!"
Tang Hao was completely stunned.
During this entire time, he had imagined countless possibilities—who had taken Ah Yin, who had stolen Tang San's Spirit Bone, and who possessed an External Spirit even stronger than Bai Mu's Zygarde. He had suspected Spirit Hall, or perhaps a terrifying expert from some hidden sect.
But never, not even in his wildest imagination, had he considered Bai Mu.
The very "good brother" who had once gifted Tang San a Spirit Bone.
The man Tang Hao believed would become Tang San's greatest ally in taking revenge on Spirit Hall and restoring the Clear Sky Sect.
Twin spirits…?
The realization struck Tang Hao like a thunderbolt.
Then, when his gaze caught Xiao Wu standing in the distance, his mind went completely blank.
"How… how is this possible…"
He even forgot the pain of his injuries, staring at Bai Mu as though he were looking at a stranger.
"Well?"
"Surprised? Didn't expect it?"
Bai Mu looked at Tang Hao's expression, the smile on his lips growing ever more amused.
"Did you really never imagine that I was the one behind everything?"
"To deceive the legendary Clear Sky Douluo for so long—my acting wasn't bad, was it?"
"Bai Mu! You traitor!" Tang Hao roared, forcing down the shock and fury in his chest. "Tang San trusted you completely, yet you stole Ah Yin, took his Spirit Bone, and even had Xiao Wu captured! Are you even human?!"
"Not human?" Bai Mu sneered coldly.
"Uncle Tang, let me call you that for now. Though this is our first true meeting, it feels like we've known each other for a long time."
"Spirit Bones, hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts—tell me, what Spirit Master in this world could resist such temptation?"
"You're just trying to justify yourself!" Tang Hao bellowed. "You can make excuses for the Spirit Bone and Xiao Wu, but what about Ah Yin? What about the Blue Silver Emperor?! Why did you have to take her?!"
"So you still remember she's a blade of grass," Bai Mu said lightly, spreading his hands.
"I'll admit things weren't pleasant at first. But now, her fate no longer has anything to do with you."
At these words, Tang Hao's body trembled.
In less than a year…
Everything he had protected for decades had been taken from him.
"Enough talk," Bai Mu said calmly, his gaze turning icy. "Let me tell you one last truth."
"From the very beginning, Tang San was never your hope."
"The Spirit Bones I gave him have already sealed his path. His future, his choices—even his will—will all be influenced by me."
"Everything you struggled to protect, everything you believed in, was never beyond my control."
Each sentence struck Tang Hao like a hammer to the heart.
"Bastard… I'll kill you!" Tang Hao roared, blood spilling from his mouth as his aura erupted wildly.
Regret, rage, despair—every emotion burned together.
"Great Sumeru Hammer—Ring Explosion!"
The final two spirit rings beneath his feet shattered at the same time. An overwhelming power burst forth as Tang Hao leaped into the air, the Clear Sky Hammer expanding to an enormous size as it crashed down toward Bai Mu.
"The game ends here."
Bai Mu stopped speaking.
"Zygarde—Body Integration."
Brilliant light surged as Zygarde merged with him. A terrifying pressure descended upon the battlefield, far surpassing Tang Hao even at his peak.
A colossal figure stood upon the earth.
"Core Enforcer."
A blinding beam of destructive energy erupted from Zygarde's chest, blasting straight toward Tang Hao.
In that instant, Tang Hao felt true despair.
He swung his hammer with all his remaining strength—but before absolute power, resistance was meaningless.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the land.
Tang Hao's body was obliterated. The Clear Sky Hammer shattered, and his aura vanished completely.
With a single strike, Bai Mu ended the life of the Clear Sky Douluo, sending him to join the long-deceased Tang Chen.
Even in death, Tang Hao's eyes remained wide with disbelief and resentment.
He could not imagine—
When Tang San finally learned that the brother he trusted most was in fact his greatest enemy… just how devastating that truth would be.
