Chapter 240: Tang Chen_1
"Humph, if you want to recruit me, you’ll have to defeat me first!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth, than the eight exquisitely matched Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet—two yellow, two purple, four black. Almost immediately, a Decorated Broad Hatchet appeared in his hand, with which he struck directly at the group of evil Soul Masters!
Slaughter City, the ground!
Having escaped the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King, Tang Chen successfully flew out of Slaughter City and reached the surface, where the long-lost sunshine greeted him!
"How many years has it been, I, Tang Chen, finally see the light of day again!" Tang Chen looked at the gentle sunshine with a radiant smile.
Many years ago, Tang Chen, in order to fulfill his promise to Poseissi and seek the way to immortality, came to the inheritance site of the Asura God, Slaughter City!
Originally, he was but one step away from becoming the Asura God King, but first his mind was disturbed by the resentment of the Rakshasa Goddess, and then he was secretly possessed by the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King!
Since then, Tang Chen had been suppressed in spirit, remaining in Slaughter City!
"Poseissi, I wonder if you still remember me, I’m coming to find you now!" Tang Chen said, preparing to ascend to the sky.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he called out toward the direction behind him, "Who’s there, show yourself!"
However, the person hiding in the shadows seemed not to dare to appear. Seeing this, Tang Chen reached out with his hand and lightly grasped, pulling a blue figure from within a large tree dozens of meters away straight to him!
The blue figure stopped midair, one meter away from Tang Chen!
The figure, with blue hair, was none other than Tang San!
At that moment, Tang San wanted to resist, but no matter what he did, he could not break free from the constraints of Tang Chen, the Unparalleled Douluo!
"From the moment we were in Slaughter City, you’ve been following me. Who exactly are you!" Tang Chen asked with an eerie coldness upon seeing Tang San.
"Senior, please, don’t kill me, I mean you no harm!" Tang San replied in pain, bound by Tang Chen’s Soul Power.
"Humph, hmm!" Tang Chen let out a few cold laughs, "I, Haotian Douluo Tang Chen, have roamed the Soul Land for a century, never fearing death. Just with you, a mere fledgling, you dare say you mean me harm! To tell you the truth, I can crush you into dust with my very hands!"
"What did you just say?" Tang San asked, his pupils dilating.
"What, you think I’m joking?" Tang Chen scoffed, "Never mind, I would rather crush you now, I need to go to Sea God Island!"
"Wait, senior, did you say your title is Haotian Douluo?" Tang San asked in surprise. Haotian Douluo was a title exclusive to Hao Tian Clan. Only the strongest generation’s Titled Douluo from Hao Tian Clan could be addressed as Haotian Douluo!
"What about it?" Tang Chen said with an indifferent expression.
"Senior, do you recognize this!" Tang San said, and in his left hand, some blue lightning appeared. Amidst the lightning, a blue hammer covered with patterns materialized out of thin air!
"This is, the Hao Tian Hammer!" Tang Chen exclaimed in surprise, instantly appearing in front of Tang San, "What is your name?"
At the same time, Tang Chen released the constraint on Tang San.
"My name is Tang San!" Tang San replied.
"Tang San? Never heard of it... and who is your father?" Tang Chen pressed on.
"His name is Tang Hao!"
"What, Hao’er? You are Hao’er’s child!" Tang Chen exclaimed to the extreme.
"May I ask, senior, who are you?" Tang San inquired.
Tang Chen revealed a brilliant smile, "I, I am Tang Chen, Tang Hao’s grandfather!"
"Ah! You are the one from Soul Land, one of the Unparalleled Douluo, my great-grandfather Tang Chen!" Hearing this, Tang San immediately knelt down to Tang Chen.
However, Tang Chen helped him up before he could finish, showing a kind smile, "No, no, I never imagined that Hao’er’s child would be so grown up!"
"Child, how did you end up in Slaughter City?" Tang Chen asked.
"Great-grandfather, it’s a long story..." Tang San then gave Tang Chen an overview of his experiences.
"What, Hao’er was bullied by someone?" Tang Chen flew into a rage as he heard how Chu Qin had defeated Tang Hao and even taken away the latter’s wife.
"Who exactly is this Chu Qin?" Tang Chen pressed.
Upon hearing this, Tang San’s heart leaped with joy. It seemed his great-grandfather was going to seek justice for him and Tang Hao!
His great-grandfather was a powerful figure who even Qian Daoliu could not defeat, hailed as the number one in Soul Land! Now, Chu Qin’s good days were probably over, right?
"Great-grandfather, that Chu Qin is none other than the man who just broke out of the execution ground in Slaughter City!" Tang San replied.
"It’s him!" Tang Chen’s brows rose as he said, "This young man is quite capable, and his followers are very strong too!"
"Great-grandfather, you don’t mean that even you..." Tang San began, slightly startled.
"Hahaha, that’s impossible!" Tang Chen laughed confidently, "To tell you the truth, I was controlled by the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King, also known as the Slaughter King! Luckily, that lad used saint power to break the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King’s evil forces!"
"Great-grandfather, the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King was actually able to control you?" Tang San exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course not!" Tang Chen replied, "It’s just that during the final test of the Asura God Test, I fell for the Rakshasa witch’s scheme and this bat took advantage of it!"
"San’er, don’t worry! Even though Chu Qin saved me, offending our Hao Tian Clan is inexcusable under any circumstances!" Tang Chen’s gaze turned cold as he said, "I will help you settle this score!"
"Thank you, great-grandfather!" Excited and emotional, Tang San thanked him.
"By the way, where is Hao’er? Is he in the Hao Tian Clan?" Tang Chen continued.
"Great-grandfather, my father has severed ties with the Hao Tian Clan, no, it is more accurate to say that the Hao Tian Clan abandoned my father! My mother, she’s a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. She and my father were deeply in love, but Martial Soul Hall found out about this affair inadvertently. Thus, Pope Qian Xunji took advantage of my grandfather’s death and led the Martial Soul Hall to attack the Hao Tian Clan, eventually forcing my mother to sacrifice herself. Fearing Martial Soul Hall’s retribution, the Hao Tian Clan hid in the place where you had the final battle with Qian Daoliu and expelled my father from the Hao Tian Clan!" Tang San explained.
"What!" Tang Chen’s eyes burned with rage upon hearing this, "What a Martial Soul Hall, what a Qian Xunji, what a Qian Daoliu! Taking advantage of my absence, they dared to bully the Hao Tian Clan this way!"
"Great-grandfather, Qian Xunji is already dead! At the age of forty-four, because of my mother’s sacrifice, my father reached the Titled Douluo and just after advancing, he killed Qian Xunji and two other Titled Douluo of Martial Soul Hall!" Tang San said.
"Good! Truly worthy of the Hao Tian Clan, truly the descendant of Yun’er!" Tang Chen smiled proudly, "It seems that in a hundred years, this Soul Land has forgotten someone named Tang Chen! Well then, from now on, Tang Chen is back!"
