Dai Hao's punch signaled his complete break with Dai Huabin and his father.
The father and son, who had disliked each other for years, finally reached this point.
On the other side, Dai Luoli stared intently at Dai Huabin's image embedded in the wall, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Dai Huabin's words had offended not only Dai Hao and Huo Yuhao, but also him and his mother.
It was only because Dai Hao acted first that Dai Luoli was willing to fight him to the death. After all,
fratricide was a tradition passed down in the Dai family for tens of thousands of years.
Although this tradition had disappeared after the Xu family seized the Star Luo royal family's position, Dai Luoli didn't mind repeating it with Dai Huabin.
However, he also knew that he didn't need to lift a finger to deal with Dai Huabin.
Huo Yuhao, who held a high position in the Sun Moon Empire, would absolutely not tolerate Dai Huabin continuing to live after the war.
Thinking of this, Dai Luoli no longer glanced at Dai Huabin, whom he considered as dead as a corpse, and turned to Dai Hao, saying in a deep voice,
"Father, I will never forget your teachings. I will live well and ensure that the Dai family's lineage does not end!"
After all these years, Dai Luoli had long since seen through the true face of his once highly respected father.
Just as Dai Huabin had said.
If Dai Hao were truly as good as they had imagined, then even if Huo Yuhao, this illegitimate son, was an accident, Dai Luoli would never have been born into the same family, right?
He was merely trying to conceal his own mistakes, shifting all the blame onto Dai Huabin.
Because of this, Dai Hao, stripped of his idol status, was now only known as "Father" in Dai Luoli's eyes, devoid of any familial affection.
Although Dai Hao sensed this, having acted for most of his life, he still subconsciously continued the performance.
Dai Hao reached out and patted Dai Luoli's shoulder, speaking earnestly,
"Live well. Don't seek revenge for me. As long as you and your mother can live well, any sacrifice I've made will be worthwhile."
Dai Luoli pursed his lips, not replying. To this young boy, such a hypocritical father only increased his disgust.
Seeing this, Dai Hao didn't say anything more, letting Dai Luoli secretly leave the camp with his mother.
Actually, Dai Luoli had considered seeking refuge with Huo Yuhao, but after careful consideration, he ultimately abandoned the decision.
Unlike Huo Yuhao, he hadn't formally broken ties with Dai Hao and the Dai family.
If he went to the Sun Moon Empire, how would he face the Dai family, which was about to be completely wiped out?
Although Dai Luoli felt that Huo Yuhao would take him in out of old friendship, he ultimately decided not to trouble him.
To survive under such circumstances is already an extreme stroke of luck.
The departure of Dai Luoli and his mother seemed to signal that the war had entered its decisive phase.
Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult, under the steady yet powerful offensive of the Sun Moon Empire, were officially on the verge of annihilation.
While the high-ranking officials of the Haotian Empire hadn't directly participated in the war, they had been closely monitoring the situation.
Upon learning of the plight of Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult, they abandoned their plan to remain neutral and finally decided to engage the Sun Moon Empire in full force.
However, they hadn't anticipated that the Sun Moon Empire would be far more powerful than they had imagined.
Even with three ninth-level Soul Masters wielding four-word battle armor deployed against Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult,
and the added burden of fighting on two fronts against the Haotian Empire, the Sun Moon Empire showed no signs of weakness. Instead, upon sensing the Haotian Empire's advance, they immediately halted its offensive.
This meant that Mu En's original plan had been completely shattered.
Even with the Haotian Empire's involvement, the decline of Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult didn't improve.
Instead, the Sun Moon Empire's attacks intensified, determined to end the conflict quickly and then focus all their efforts on the Haotian Empire.
Under these circumstances, Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult suffered heavy casualties every day.
Even with powerful healing-type Soul Masters, Shrek Academy was completely helpless in this situation.
It could only be said that Huo Yuhao's move to take the Golden Ancient Tree was too ruthless, directly cutting off their lifeline and indirectly pushing Shrek Academy to the brink of collapse.
Under these circumstances, Mu En became even more furious than before.
He had never actually placed his hopes on the elders of the Clear Sky Sect from the beginning.
Mu En had always truly relied on Niu Tian and Titan, the two sect leaders of the Clear Sky Sect.
Even without having fought them, Mu En could clearly sense that their strength far surpassed his own as a Limit Douluo.
If the two of them personally participated in this war, even if the Sun Moon Empire possessed a level nine Soul Master with four-word Douluo armor, they would absolutely not gain any advantage, and might even be forced to retreat by the Clear Sky Empire.
However, according to the intelligence he had obtained, the Clear Sky Empire had only sent three elders with Limit Douluo-level strength to lead the Tang family members in resisting the Sun Moon Empire after the war began.
Niu Tian and Titan, on whom Mu En had placed high hopes, hadn't shown their faces yet.
"Damn it! Bastards! What are those guys from the Haotian Sect trying to do? Do they really want to die? Aren't they afraid we'll drag them down with us before we die?"
Mu En was no longer the calm and collected person he used to be; he was now completely insane, even more extreme than Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao.
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao exchanged a glance and couldn't help but turn back to comfort Mu En.
"What's wrong, Mu En? Isn't the war between the Haotian Empire and the Sun Moon Empire good news for us?"
"Even if they don't defeat the Sun Moon Empire, at least they've tied down some of their forces. If we can hold out longer, this war will eventually be more advantageous to us, right?"
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao couldn't understand why Mu En was so agitated.
In their view, the reason the Haotian Empire had remained inactive was probably because their strength was insufficient to deal with the Sun Moon Empire.
Just as Mu En was about to say something, Yan Shaozhe finally returned from the Haotian Empire.
