Diary—Chapter 202: Dugu Bo: "Tang Hao, I can make your Clear Sky Sect only have the Sect Master left!"
Seeing that he had been recognized, Tang Hao didn't hide anything. His hood fell with the wind, revealing his somewhat weathered face.
"I heard that your Royal Family monopolizes nearly seventy percent of the high-grade whale rubber on the continent. I need thirty percent for my Sect." As soon as Tang Hao said this, Dai Yutian's expression instantly changed.
"Your Excellency, the Clear Sky Sect, isn't this a bit too much? Your sect has already sealed its mountains, and there's no longer any cooperation with my Star Luo Royal Family! Furthermore, with your current status, even if you get this thirty percent of whale rubber, how will you send it in?"
Although he claimed to be cooperating with the Clear Sky Sect, in reality, their Royal Family was the exploited party.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect didn't possess vast wealth like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so they naturally had to find ways to obtain cultivation resources elsewhere.
Originally, Dai Yutian didn't want to speak so aggressively. After all, the other party was the Clear Sky Douluo, possessing many secret techniques of the sect.
Having disappeared for so many years, his current cultivation must have reached a higher level. Dugu Bo probably wasn't his opponent either.
However, he received a message from his son, telling him to be tougher—otherwise, the Royal Family would once again become a resource puppet for the Clear Sky Sect, which would severely affect the Empire's future plans.
As for whether this would anger Tang Hao, as long as he listened to him, they would be able to get through this!
Tang Hao frowned upon hearing this, his Titled Douluo aura and pressure fully unleashed: "Star Luo Emperor, I respect you as an Emperor, which is why I address you as such. Otherwise, as a Soul Douluo, what right do you have to be called that by me? Moreover, I'm not discussing this with you; I'm informing you!"
"You have two choices: hand over forty percent of the Royal Family's reserves of ten-thousand-year whale rubber, or experience the power of my Clear Sky Hammer! It's been a while since I stretched my limbs anyway!"
This was no longer a discussion; it was a blatant threat, and the amount he demanded had increased from thirty percent to forty percent. He was truly shameless!
Dai Yichen guessed why Tang Hao wanted so much. Besides giving it to his Sect, the rest was probably for his son.
The appearance of whale rubber made him want Tang San to quickly use his second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!
Heh heh, dream on!
The Empire had no restrictions on low-grade whale rubber. As long as one had money and status, one could still buy a good amount.
However, Tang Hao still chose to come to the Star Luo Royal Family to demand it. Wasn't this clearly looking down on his Star Luo Empire as easy to bully?
At this moment, Dugu Bo stood in front of Dai Yichen and the others, slowly speaking: "Tang Hao, if you want to touch them, have you asked me—this old monster?"
Ever since Dugu Bo recovered his cultivation, the smiles on his face had increased significantly. He looked unruly and roguish.
"Hmph, Dugu Bo, you old monster, you'd best not interfere in this matter. Your poison can't even get close to me!" Tang Hao was very calm.
Although Dugu Bo's poison was formidable, with his cultivation, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer and having the Clear Sky Aura protecting his body, the poisonous mist couldn't get close at all!
At this time, Tang Hao didn't know that Dugu Bo was no longer the same as before!
"Oh? Then come and try! If I'm not mistaken, you should still have old injuries from a few years ago. Can you use your full power?"
Six or seven years ago, Tang Hao was indeed formidable enough to break through from three Titled Douluo and a group of powerful experts, but Spirit Hall wasn't to be trifled with. Could he have had no injuries at all?
Dugu Bo was gambling!
And Dai Yichen knew that Dugu Bo had gambled correctly.
Tang Hao's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "I am indeed injured, but dealing with you? That's still no problem! Since that's the case, let's use our abilities! If I make a move, I won't just ask for forty percent—I'll take it all!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Clear Sky Avatar!"
"Death God Domain!"
The next moment, Tang Hao transformed into the Clear Sky Hammer, and a fierce aura swept toward the three of them.
Dai Yichen sent a telepathic message: "Old Monster, defend with all your might; I'll assist you!"
Dai Yichen knew that with Dugu Bo's strength, even if he could block the Clear Sky Avatar with full defense, he would still suffer considerable injuries.
Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer was different from Tang San's, which lacked imposing power. Even just the power of the Clear Sky Avatar was not something a level 94 Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo could withstand, as Dugu Bo did not specialize in defense but in poison control and area-of-effect attacks.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Serpent Avatar!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Serpent Emperor Sky Aura Shield!"
This was the only defensive Soul Skill Dugu Bo had, condensing a shield from his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison.
This kind of defensive method had limited effectiveness against high-burst martial souls like the Clear Sky Hammer.
After all, it was a shield condensed from poisonous mist, and its defensive power wasn't very high to begin with.
"Heh heh, a mere poison shield, yet you still dream of blocking my Clear Sky Avatar! Break for me!"
The immense killing intent swept over everyone present. When Dai Yichen first faced this killing intent, his face also turned somewhat pale.
There was nothing he could do; the gap between him and Tang Hao was too great now.
However, in Tang Hao's eyes, he was nothing significant at the moment. A faint golden light shimmered around Dai Yichen, supporting him and resisting the killing intent.
And on the green Serpent Emperor Sky Aura Shield, a layer of white-gold light shimmered.
Tianmeng Iceworm Life Origin, Life Reflection Shield!
"Ahhh!" Tang Hao roared, increasing his force!
But gradually, he found that his Clear Sky Hammer was unable to break through Dugu Bo's defense, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison on the shield had already begun to backfire on him.
Under the double-layered shield defense, even Tang Hao's high-burst attacks couldn't break through!
Tang Hao felt extremely strange in his heart and suddenly said, "Old man, you've hidden your cultivation! You're not level ninety-one!"
"Hahahaha! Tang Hao knows when to quit. If you continue to stalemate with me, your broken body probably won't be able to suppress my serpent poison later.
Furthermore, if you ever harass my Star Luo Royal Family again, or if I hear that some genius or high-ranking official of the Star Luo Empire was suddenly assassinated, I will assume you did it!"
"Oh? Even if I did kill them, so what?!" Tang Hao hadn't expected Dugu Bo to see through his subsequent plans.
Yes, if he fell out with the Star Luo Royal Family, he naturally wanted to use some means to force the Royal Family into submission.
"I can't do much, but I can make your Clear Sky Sect only have the Sect Master left! Oh, right — I am now level ninety-four, and my strength has greatly improved. Setting up a poison array near the Clear Sky Sect is no problem at all."
Then, Dugu Bo's wide mouth, flicking its snake-like tongue, chuckled sinisterly: "Your sect isn't completely airtight. There will always be poisonous mist that can seep in. Over time, what do you think will happen?"
"Oh, right, you also have a younger sister who is the owner of the Moon Pavilion at Heaven Dou City, don't you?"
