Chapter 227: The Shameless Tang Hao!
"You all go ahead, I can't leave like this!"
A pair of large fists clenched tightly. Looking around at the collapsed buildings and the clan members trapped under the rubble, Tai Tan turned to his three old comrades. His face, once full of authority, now showed exhaustion, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
"Old Gorilla, you..."
Hearing Tai Tan's words, Niu Gao wanted to say something.
But when he suddenly saw the clan members of Li Zhi Yi trapped under the collapsed buildings, heard the cries and screams coming from the rubble, and saw that Tang Hao was heading this way, Niu Gao immediately understood everything.
Tang Hao was not only trying to shift the blame but also knew that there were a large number of Li Zhi Yi clan members trapped here. He had calculated everything to manipulate Tai Tan!
"Dammit! This despicable Tang Hao!!"
In an instant, realizing everything, Niu Gao became furious. He stomped his foot hard on the ground and angrily shouted, his neck bulging with rage.
This despicable Tang Hao was just like that Haotian Sect and Tang San, such a shameless person, wasn't worthy of Tai Tan's loyalty!!
At the same time, seeing that Tang Hao was about to fly over from afar, Tai Tan could only shout angrily. He activated his Great Strength Gorilla True Body, transforming into a massive black-furred gorilla, pounding his chest in anger, and charged toward Tang Hao.
"Master, don't worry, old servant is here to help!!"
"Damn it!!"
Seeing Tai Tan charge forward, Niu Gao became even angrier.
He knew that Tai Tan's words earlier were to stabilize Tang Hao, but with such a despicable person like Tang Hao, to have his old friend say such words was incredibly infuriating!
"Old Gorilla, I'll help you!"
Although Niu Gao was filled with hatred for Tang Hao at this moment, he could only roar angrily and immediately activated his martial soul true body, transforming into a massive armored rhinoceros, charging after Tai Tan.
Seeing both Tai Tan and Niu Gao come to help, whether they were sincere or not, Tang Hao immediately felt a glimmer of hope to survive. He quickly descended and lowered his altitude.
As Tang Hao lowered his height, the Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall who didn't have long-range attack capabilities also had no choice but to lower their altitude as well.
Then, Tai Tan, with a roar and pounding of his chest, jumped high into the air and slammed his fist toward the Demon Bear Douluo, who had also activated his martial soul true body.
"Stupid bear, if you want to harm my master, you'll have to go through me first!"
On the other side, Niu Gao, transformed into a giant armored rhinoceros, also roared, "Aang!" and leaped at the Double-Headed Snake Polearm Douluo, who had turned into a purple-green, two-headed serpent. The two started to battle fiercely.
In the sky, Bibi Dong stood in the air, holding the Pope's Staff, watching everything unfold.
Seeing that Tang Hao was willing to sacrifice the lives of ordinary clan members of Li Zhi Yi to force Tai Tan, a Soul Douluo, to risk his life to hold off a Title Douluo, Bibi Dong couldn't help but sneer in disdain.
"Heh, Haotian Douluo?"
At the Li Zhi Yi clan's base, in the battlefield between Tang Hao and the Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall,
Although the pressure on Tang Hao was significantly reduced with the help of Tai Tan and Niu Gao, as each held off one Title Douluo,
He was still left facing the attacks of seven Title Douluos and couldn't handle it.
Tang Hao was barely holding his ground, relying entirely on the fusion of his Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, and even using a life-for-a-life approach, displaying a determination to drag down as many as he could, to keep the seven Title Douluos in check.
However, the reason Tang Hao was able to last for so long, fighting nine opponents, was because the enemy had an overwhelming advantage and didn't want to suffer unnecessary casualties.
They wanted to slowly wear him down, like boiling a frog in warm water, to eventually kill him.
If Tang Hao didn't make a move, even with his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, in a few minutes his soul power would be exhausted, and he would lose any chance to escape, ultimately dying here.
Now, Tang Hao's only hope to survive was to drag Yang Wudi and Bai He into the fight, having them each help hold off a Title Douluo.
That way, Tang Hao could use his ultimate trump card, the Great Sumi Hammer—Exploding Ring, as well as his long-hidden clone soul skill, and maybe, just maybe, he could escape with his son, Tang San.
However, at the Li Zhi Yi clan's base,
Tang Hao could threaten Tai Tan with the lives of Li Zhi Yi clan members to force him to intervene, and Niu Gao, because of his close friendship with Tai Tan, had no choice but to help.
But Yang Wudi and Bai He were both calm-headed and had no leverage that Tang Hao could use against them. Tang Hao couldn't think of any way to make them act.
Meanwhile, after Tang Hao moved the battlefield, Tang San, carrying his injured teacher Yu Xiaogang, had followed him and arrived at the current battlefield.
When Tang San saw that a massive gorilla and a giant rhinoceros were each holding off a Title Douluo, greatly reducing his father's pressure,
Tang San immediately had an idea, his heart racing with excitement: "Yes! If I can help Dad find reinforcements, maybe Dad can take us out of here!"
As Tang Hao struggled against the seven Title Douluos, Tang San looked around and finally spotted Bai He and Yang Wudi.
"That's... Uncle!!!"
Seeing Bai He, Tang San's heart skipped a beat as he recognized him from the livestream.
Although he felt a little ashamed because of the things he had done to the four major clans during the livestream,
Seeing his father about to die, Tang San had no choice but to swallow his pride. With the same attitude as always, he rushed toward Bai He, putting aside any past grievances.
Meanwhile, Bai He and Yang Wudi weren't paying attention to the battle. Instead, they were helping the members of the Li Zhi Yi clan who weren't trapped under the collapsed buildings, working together to rescue those stuck in the rubble.
Just as Tang Hao had suspected, Bai He and Yang Wudi were both clear-headed individuals.
They both believed that Tang Hao was certain to die in the battle with the Spirit Hall, and that Tai Tan had only gone to fight because of the clan, while Niu Gao was helping because of his close friendship with Tai Tan.
But they didn't share such a deep connection with Tai Tan.
They had their own families to protect. If they died, both the Po Zhi Yi and Mǐn Zhi Yi clans would suffer immensely.
Therefore, they were unwilling to help and were focusing on rescuing those trapped under the rubble from the collapsed buildings.
