Chapter 151: The Frustrated Tang Hao

Chapter 151: The Frustrated Tang Hao

"You're seeking death!"

Su Mo let out a cold snort.

Faced with Tang Hao's attack, he did not back down.

Instead, he gripped his spear tightly and charged forward to meet Tang Hao head-on.

Did Tang Hao really think he could kill him without even using a soul skill?

Boom!

Su Mo unleashed the full force of his Overlord Spear Technique.

The top-tier spear in his hand merged with his Soul-Hunting Spear Soul Artifact, achieving complete unity between man and weapon.

With unstoppable momentum, he struck directly at Tang Hao.

Boom!

The moment Su Mo's spear collided with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, a massive shockwave erupted.

Bang!

Both figures were sent flying backward.

"How is this possible…?"

Tang Hao was utterly shocked.

He never expected his attack to be met head-on and even be forced back.

Though Su Mo had also been knocked back, Tang Hao had yet to use his full strength.

Even so, the sheer combat power Su Mo displayed was terrifying.

"So this is the power of soul artifact fusion?"

Tang Hao eyed Su Mo's spear, which had achieved complete fusion with his soul artifact, and his killing intent deepened.

Forget about integrating forging into one's soul.

Just this combat technique of merging soul artifacts was enough to threaten the Clear Sky Clan's reputation as the strongest weapon martial soul.

After all, the Clear Sky Hammer was already the most powerful weapon martial soul.

There were almost no weapons that could fully merge with it.

In contrast, other weapon-type martial souls could more easily find compatible weapons for fusion.

"Die, brat!"

Boom!

Having realized this, Tang Hao no longer held back.

He needed to kill Su Mo as quickly as possible to avoid displeasing the Slaughter King.

After all, this was the Slaughter King's territory.

killing God Domain!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Tang Hao as his domain enveloped Su Mo.

In an instant, Su Mo felt as if he had been trapped in a quagmire, his strength significantly suppressed.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao's power surged.

Su Mo immediately realized that Tang Hao was getting serious.

Swish!

Understanding this, Su Mo wasn't foolish enough to keep fighting him head-on.

In a flash, he teleported a short distance away, just beyond the range of Tang Hao's domain, and started running.

Rather than using long-distance teleportation, Su Mo deliberately kept Tang Hao on his tail.

His goal was to lure out the Slaughter King and turn this into a battle between Tang Hao and Tang Chen.

"How is this possible…?"

"That brat can still use soul skills? Is it a soul bone ability?"

Tang Hao was stunned when he saw Su Mo teleport away.

He never expected Su Mo to still be able to use soul skills.

His only explanation was that Su Mo had activated a soul bone ability.

Without a soul bone, it was impossible to use teleportation-type soul skills within the Slaughter City.

"Hmph!"

Tang Hao had no time to waste being surprised.

In an instant, he chased after Su Mo.

If Su Mo really had a teleportation soul bone, then that was even better.

After killing him, Tang Hao could give it to Tang San.

"Wait… that kid also won a soul bone from the Spirit Master Tournament…"

Tang Hao suddenly recalled that Su Mo had more than one soul bone.

Unfortunately, the external soul bone had already fused completely with Su Mo.

Otherwise, he would have taken it for Tang San as well.

While being pursued by Tang Hao, Su Mo continued his desperate escape.

Swish!

Each time Tang Hao got close, Su Mo would teleport again to widen the gap.

"Damn it!"

Tang Hao clenched his teeth in frustration.

Su Mo's ability was too troublesome.

But he wasn't worried—there was no way Su Mo could keep teleporting indefinitely.

Sooner or later, he would catch up.

And that was the truth.

Su Mo's spatial energy was limited, and he couldn't outlast Tang Hao in a battle of endurance.

This was precisely why he had worked so hard to develop long-range teleportation.

With it, he could escape for good with a single move, leaving Tang Hao completely unable to track him.

But instead of teleporting away entirely, Su Mo started ducking into nearby buildings.

Using the complex terrain, he prevented Tang Hao from taking full advantage of his speed.

"Damn it!"

Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky – Tremor Technique!

Boom!

After failing to catch Su Mo in two separate buildings, Tang Hao grew impatient.

He abandoned the chase and used a soul skill to destroy the entire structure instead.

Boom!

The massive explosion sent shockwaves through the area, drawing attention from bystanders who quickly fled in fear.

A battle of this magnitude was far beyond their ability to interfere with—staying alive was their only priority.

"Excellent!"

Meanwhile, Su Mo remained perfectly calm.

He had intentionally lured Tang Hao into attacking the structures in Slaughter City.

Now, it was only a matter of waiting for the Slaughter King to appear.

Tang Hao, having already started attacking the buildings, no longer held back.

All he wanted was to kill Su Mo as quickly as possible.

Still, his expression darkened further.

He never imagined that killing a mere boy would be this difficult.

And Su Mo was utterly lacking in warrior's spirit.

After only a single exchange, he had chosen to flee instead of fighting.

Was this really how someone so talented had grown so strong?

Such a waste of potential!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As Tang Hao continued to demolish buildings, Su Mo gradually made his way toward the center of Slaughter City—the Hell Slaughter Arena.

"Who is that?"

"That's terrifying…"

"Since when did Slaughter City have such a monster?"

"Is that the Clear Sky Hammer he's using?"

"Wait, the real question is—how is he using soul skills here?"

"And the one being chased… isn't that the Spear Demon?"

"No way! The Spear Demon can use soul skills too?"

The fallen spirit masters and dark soul cultivators watching from the sidelines were utterly stunned.

They were terrified by Tang Hao's strength and the fact that he could use soul skills.

But they were equally shocked to discover that Su Mo had been hiding his true power all along.

So his past displays of strength weren't even his full potential.

Boom!

Not long after, a terrifying presence descended.

The Slaughter King flapped his wings as he landed before Tang Hao, his gaze ice-cold.

The Slaughter King glared at Tang Hao in fury, addressing him by his former number—7424—rather than calling him the Killing God.

He didn't want others to know that a Killing God had returned.

The numbers assigned to soul masters entering Slaughter City were reused. When someone died, their number was reclaimed and given to another. That was why Tang Hao's number was even larger than Su Mo's.

"I'm here to kill someone," Tang Hao stated, frowning slightly at the Slaughter King's sudden appearance but still answering honestly.

"Who do you want to kill?"

The Slaughter King questioned him coldly.

A former Killing God causing such a commotion just to kill someone—was that necessary?

"The Spear Demon."

Tang Hao's voice was calm but resolute.

"The Spear Demon? You want to kill him?"

"Where is he now?"

The Slaughter King was momentarily surprised by Tang Hao's answer, then asked for confirmation.

If Tang Hao wanted to kill the Spear Demon, he saw no reason to interfere.

He didn't want Slaughter City to give birth to another Killing God.

However, bound by the city's rules, he couldn't outright kill participants in the Hell Slaughter Arena without cause.

Otherwise, he would have eliminated every potential Killing God himself.

Had Tang Hao been targeting Hu Liena, he wouldn't have stood by idly.

After all, Hu Liena was backed by that woman, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

If he offended Bibi Dong, Slaughter City might be cut off from fresh blood in the future.

But if Tang Hao wanted to kill Su Mo, the Spear Demon, the Slaughter King had no reason to stop him.

Tang Hao did not respond but instead glanced downward.

The Slaughter King turned his head and finally noticed Su Mo standing atop a building.

"So, you are the Slaughter King?"

"This man is recklessly destroying Slaughter City's buildings—are you just going to let that slide?"

Su Mo smirked as he locked eyes with the Slaughter King.

Despite the situation, he remained calm and composed, even managing to smile.

Tang Hao's eyes grew colder at the sight.

He set me up.

Tang Hao quickly realized Su Mo had deliberately lured him into destroying the city's structures.

That realization only made him feel even more frustrated.

He had actually been tricked by a mere brat.

"6018… you managed to survive being hunted by 7424?"

Instead of answering Su Mo's question, the Slaughter King studied him with surprise.

What astonished him even more was that Su Mo wasn't fleeing.

Instead, he stood there confidently, as if he had nothing to fear.

Did he not realize he was being hunted by a Killing God?

How had this kid survived until now?

The Slaughter King couldn't make sense of it.

A normal person being pursued by a Killing God should have been dead long ago.

"That's not something you need to worry about.

"I just want to know—are the buildings here allowed to be destroyed at will?"

Su Mo chuckled lightly.

Now that he had mastered long-range teleportation, he no longer feared Tang Hao, nor did he fear the Slaughter King.

Fighting them? That was impossible.

But running away? That was easy.

The Slaughter King's eyes flickered briefly before he finally responded.

"There are no rules in this city.

"But the buildings are not to be destroyed."

"7424—there will not be a next time."

With that final warning, the Slaughter King turned and flew away.

Clearly, he had no intention of dealing with Tang Hao but had still issued a warning.

Tang Hao had permission to act—but he needed to be mindful of his actions.

Tang Hao was mildly surprised by how easily the Slaughter King let him off.

"Brat, let's see where you run now!"

No longer concerned, Tang Hao turned back to Su Mo with a grin.

With the Slaughter King's tacit approval, he only needed to be a little more careful while killing Su Mo.

"That damn beast is trying to use Tang Hao to get rid of me."

Su Mo cursed internally.

It didn't take long for him to figure out the Slaughter King's true intention.

He had wanted to use the Slaughter King against Tang Hao.

Instead, the Slaughter King wanted to use Tang Hao against him.

"I'm curious—who exactly are you?

"What did I do to offend you enough that you want to kill me?"

Outwardly, Su Mo's confident demeanor faded, and he put on a serious expression as he looked up at Tang Hao.

"You brought this upon yourself.

"You discovered something you weren't meant to."

"Now die, brat!"

Tang Hao snorted coldly, refusing to reveal his identity.

With a swing of his Clear Sky Hammer, he charged at Su Mo once more.

Boom!

Now that he had the Slaughter King's approval, Tang Hao wasn't in a rush.

He just needed to keep pursuing Su Mo until he caught him.

"If you're too cowardly to even reveal your name, then I have no interest in playing with you."

"Clear Sky Clan scum—goodbye!"

As Tang Hao lunged toward him, Su Mo smirked again.

Mocking him one last time, Su Mo's figure blurred—and then disappeared completely.

Now that he was certain the Slaughter King wouldn't stop Tang Hao and instead wanted him dead, there was no reason to continue provoking the man.

"Where did he go?"

Tang Hao was stunned as Su Mo vanished into thin air.

After scanning his surroundings, his expression darkened further.

Su Mo was nowhere to be found—not even within his perception range.

"That damn brat—was he just toying with me the whole time?"

The more Tang Hao thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

His face turned an ugly shade of purple.

Now he finally understood why Su Mo had been so calm.

Su Mo had always had an escape route.

He had never been truly cornered—he had simply been playing with Tang Hao.

He had even tried to use the Slaughter King against him—his only mistake was that the plan hadn't worked.

Boom!

Enraged, Tang Hao slammed his Clear Sky Hammer into the ground, venting his frustration.

It took him a long while to calm down.

"That brat definitely has some kind of secret.

"His teleportation ability isn't a soul bone skill."

Tang Hao replayed the fight in his mind and realized something.

Whenever Su Mo teleported, there was no sign of soul bone activation.

"Could it be a self-created soul skill?"

"But how is that possible?

"Teleportation as a self-created skill? That shouldn't even be possible!"

If it wasn't a soul bone ability, nor a martial soul technique, then it could only be a self-created skill.

Realizing this left Tang Hao even more shaken.

That was something he could barely comprehend.

All of his own self-created techniques came from the Clear Sky Clan's inheritance.

But then again, Su Mo had already invented soul artifact fusion and forging integration.

Perhaps self-created teleportation wasn't entirely out of the question.

After all, his own son, Tang San, had developed an entire set of self-created techniques as well.

For a time, Tang Hao had even doubted whether Tang San was truly his son.

Now, it seemed Su Mo was just as much of a prodigy as Tang San.

"Who cares how much of a genius he is—once he's dead, it won't matter."

Tang Hao shook his head violently.

There was no point in dwelling on it.

His only goal now was to track Su Mo down and kill him.

But then he thought about Su Mo's teleportation ability—disappearing completely, vanishing without a trace.

Tang Hao clutched his head in frustration.

How was he supposed to deal with that?
