The Price of Heritage
"Youā¦ what are you trying to do?" Tang San gasped, his face bright red. "Are you planning to take my Spirit Bone? You're definitely courting death if you try!"
Hearing this, Tang San finally understood. He was panting like an angry ox, his hands gripping Dugu Bo's wrists tightly, and his Eight Spider Lances thrashed even more fiercely.
In the next moment, an incredibly cold spirit power pierced Tang San's body through his throat. Instantly, he felt his whole body go numb, unable to muster even a fraction of his own spirit power.
This icy energy spread through him, making him feel as if he had plunged into a frozen cellar. In front of a Titled Douluo, Tang San couldn't even twitch a finger, let alone resist.
However, just then, Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly boomed. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Dugu Bo! How dare you! If you harm Little San, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Iā¦ I am from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! My father is Yu Yuanzhen! If you dare to kill my disciple, then just wait to bear the wrath of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Hearing the boast, Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly, and the hand gripping Tang San's throat unconsciously loosened a bit. Linking this with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Yu Xiaogang and the other two had used earlier, he frowned and said, "Oh? I didn't expect you to be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Although I can't defeat the old dragon of your family, the problem is that your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have to face not just me, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Dugu Bo continued, turning his head to look at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo standing nearby.
"Didn't your disciple just claim that the life force would disappear after being poisoned by my granddaughter's snake venom? I'm simply verifying what he said."
He addressed Ning Fengzhi directly, "School Master Ning, do you think I'm right?"
"Hmm," Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, his hands clasped behind his back. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Tang San, a faint curve on his lips. "I'm also very eager to know if what Tang San said is true or false. However, I must ask Poison Douluo to spare his life. This person is still useful to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
In Ning Fengzhi's mind, regardless of the explanation Shrek Academy gave, he would take Tang San away and then force the manufacturing method of Hidden Weapons out of him.
Hearing this, the killing intent in Dugu Bo's eyes intensified. Hmph, spare his life? If I don't kill him, how can I seize the external Spirit Bone? he thought to himself. I just need to use a small amount of poison later to kill this guy. When that happens, I'll just push the responsibility onto the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
I don't believe that Yu Yuanzhen would really chase after me for an outsider, would he?
A cold sneer appeared on Dugu Bo's lips. Just as his killing intent surged and he was about to make his move, Tang Chen's voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Tang Chen was currently transmitting his voice through his spirit power: "Old Poison, you'd better not kill him! Otherwise, you might have to bear the wrath of a Titled Douluo!"
At the same time, Flender quickly stepped forward. "Dugu Bo, if you dare to touch Little San, you'll die without a burial place. I'm not afraid to tell you, Little San's father isn't someone you can afford to provoke. His existence is even more terrifying than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Dugu Bo instantly froze, an uncertain light flickering in his eyes. With a flick of his hand, he threw Tang San directly to the ground. The intense pain caused Tang San to lose consciousness.
"Oh?" Dugu Bo looked at Flender and the others with interest, while also giving Tang Chen a look from behind him. He muttered, "Could it be that this kid has some background? Someone even I can't provoke? There really aren't many in this world. Why don't you tell me, who is his father?"
Flender snorted coldly, his voice very low, yet everyone present heard it clearly.
"His surname is Tangā¦ and he's someone you can't provoke. Think about it yourself, on this Douluo Continent, which other power is there?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment.
Soon, he seemed to have realized something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically. "Surname Tang? Could it beā¦ No, this kid's Spirit is just Blue Silver Grass."
On the other side, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi's originally calm expressions also completely changed at that instant. The two exchanged glances, a hint of solemnity flashing in the depths of their eyes.
Just then, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stepped forward. At this moment, his eyes held an unprecedented pride, and he lowered his voice, saying, "Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you. Little San's father is Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, who once shook the world and killed the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall with one hammer!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice was very low, so only the few people in the immediate vicinity could hear it.
These words were like a sudden thunderclap booming in everyone's ears.
However, Yu Xiaogang did not stop. His chest heaved violently, and a sick mixture of fervor and pride appeared in his eyes. His voice trembled as he continued to shout, "And I am the son of the Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! If you dare to touch me and Little San today, that is equivalent to simultaneously offending two Sects among the Upper Three Sects!"
"Dare to provoke us, and when the time comes, just wait for your Sect to be destroyed!"
Just then, a low and aged voice suddenly came from not far away.
"You beast! You constantly claim that you've long since left the Sect and have no ties to it, yet at every critical moment of life and death, you bring out the Sect to excuse yourself.
"Each sentence of that voice was colder than the last, every word like a hammer striking the heart. "That's one thing, but in these past twenty-odd years, when have you ever gone back to see your father, who worried about you day after day!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble.
Liu Erlong's delicate body also trembled, her beautiful face completely losing its color.
The two almost subconsciously looked up and gazed forward, only to see the mist in the woods nearby slowly dispersing, and a majestic figure, stepping by step, walking towards them.
The person at the front had a head of silver hair, a solemn face, a heavy aura like a mountain, and eyes filled with barely suppressed anger. It was Yu Luomian! He was followed by several other strong individuals whose auras were not weak. At this moment, all their gazes were coldly fixed on Yu Xiaogang.
"Fatherā¦ why are you here?" Looking at that familiar yet majestic figure, Liu Erlong was completely stunned, her lips trembling lightly as she murmured.
As she spoke, she subconsciously took a step forward, using her body to shield Yu Xiaogang behind her, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes: "Father, I won't allow you to harm Xiaogang!"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian's footsteps paused, his cloudy eyes staring intently at Liu Erlong. His chest heaved violently, his voice heavy and mixed with disappointment, as he roared, "Erlong, oh Erlong, how can you be so foolish? It's been over twenty years, and you still can't forget this beast!"
"Back then, when you wanted to establish an Academy, I didn't stop you. I even overrode all objections and mobilized the Family's resources to help you establish it. I originally thought that with an Academy, you would settle down, gradually forget this beast, and live your own life again. Butā¦ but you've really disappointed me too much!"
As his voice fell, Liu Erlong's delicate body trembled. She lowered her head, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, her eyes welling up with tears. "Father, I didn't go looking for Xiaogangā¦ he came looking for meā¦"
"Ahā" Hearing this, Yu Luomian's eyes were bloodshot, his head throbbing with pain. His figure swayed, and he instantly appeared in front of Yu Xiaogang. Then, with a swing of his arm, he slapped down fiercely.
Only a loud bang was heard.
Yu Xiaogang was directly sent sprawling, spitting blood, his eyes splitting with rage!
This sudden scene also stunned Dugu Bo for a moment; he hadn't quite recovered. Immediately after, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Tang Chen, narrowing his eyes and asking in a low voice, "Your surname is also Tang, and you know who Tang San's father is? Could it be that you really areā¦ But why are both your and Tang San's Spirits Blue Silver Grass, and not Hao..."
