Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 260: Tang Hao with Sensitive Skin
Chapter 260 - 260: Tang Hao with Sensitive Skin
Everyone else had already left, and the library quieted down once more.
Danheng shook his head slightly as he looked at the large hole in the distant wall, thinking to himself that it was entirely reasonable for Sea God Poseidon to have punished Tang Hao.
If Tang Hao had been allowed to continue his rampage, who knew what kind of trouble might have followed?
"Mr. Danheng, I didn't expect that Sea Witch could actually defeat Tang Hao. Even though Tang Hao was injured, his true combat power is not something an ordinary Titled Douluo could overcome."
Qian Daoliu suddenly appeared, smiling flatteringly.
Danheng shook his head slightly. "The Sea Witch has that potential, and she truly did it."
"Yes, yes..."
Qian Daoliu agreed with a smile, though he certainly didn't believe that.
Without Mr. Danheng's guidance, no matter how powerful the Sea Witch was, it would've been impossible for her to defeat Tang Hao.
The title of Clear Sky Douluo was not something just anyone could bear.
Qian Daoliu opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but suddenly looked outside the wall. His expression changed slightly. "Mr. Danheng... I, I'll take my leave first."
His voice was a little rushed as he quickly slipped into the darkness.
His movement was swift—borderline panicked.
Danheng raised an eyebrow slightly. Who could make Qian Daoliu so flustered?
Soon, a group of people exuding a distinct aura of the sea ascended the stairs and appeared in Danheng's line of sight.
Leading them was a stunning woman in a form-fitting palace gown that highlighted her curves. Her long silver hair flowed down her back.
In terms of beauty, she could rival the likes of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.
As for elegance, only Tang Yuehua could compare with her grace and refinement.
However, what made Danheng most awkward was the fact that she could be considered one of his "victims"!
The impact in the sky had nearly killed Bo Saixi outright.
Bo Saixi stepped onto this floor, and her eyes immediately fell upon Danheng—freezing for a moment.
Strangely, she felt a sense of familiarity with Danheng.
As if she had seen him somewhere before.
"That's him, big brother..."
The Sea Witch reminded her softly from Bo Saixi's side.
Bo Saixi walked up to Danheng, eyes still locked on his face.
"Have we met somewhere before?" she asked seriously, staring intently.
"..."
Danheng was silent. There was no way he would admit to it.
The Sea Witch and the other Holy Pillar Guardians were all dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Since arriving on the Douluo Continent, they were often hit on, and the most cliché pickup line they heard was, "Have we met before?"
Now Bo Saixi had actually said that to Danheng.
Could it be she had taken a liking to him?
The Sea Witch covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide.
Danheng replied coolly, "You must be mistaken. Are you here to read? If you're faculty or a parent from Blue Tyrant Academy, I can inform you..."
Bo Saixi looked at Danheng in confusion.
Even though he had denied it, that strange feeling of familiarity didn't go away.
Something felt off...
But now wasn't the time to talk about that.
"Mr. Danheng, thank you for guiding the Sea Witch. Without you, she wouldn't have been able to defeat Tang Hao."
Bo Saixi bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
The Sea Witch and others quickly followed suit.
Danheng thought for a moment and shook his head. "No need. It was her own skill, had nothing to do with me."
The Sea Witch shook her head vigorously. "That's not true! Without big brother, I wouldn't have dared to fight that bad guy Tang Hao!"
"..." Danheng was helpless. He had no resistance against the Sea Witch.
Bo Saixi glanced at the Sea Witch and said again, "Mr. Danheng, I won't beat around the bush. Actually, I am the High Priestess of Sea God Island..."
Bo Saixi then explained her reason for coming.
At the heart of it, it was like tadpoles looking for their mother—they were trying to find traces of Sea God Poseidon.
Danheng paused, then said, "I only passed on a message from someone who might be the Sea God to the Sea Witch. In that place... there might be traces of him..."
"!!!"
Bo Saixi's face lit up with joy.
As expected!
The one who guided the Sea Witch was Lord Sea God!
The other Holy Pillar Guardians looked at each other with excitement.
The Sea Witch puffed out her chest proudly like a smug little lamb, practically glowing with "praise me!" energy.
"You all underestimated me! So, who was it that first found clues to Lord Sea God?"
She strutted between the guardians with her arms crossed, making sure they all saw her.
"..."
The guardians couldn't help but laugh and started praising her.
After all, it was true—she had accomplished something they hadn't.
"But we visited Lord Sea God's residence not long ago and didn't find any trace of him," Bo Saixi said with a sigh, clearly worried.
Danheng reminded, "Perhaps you should start with the current owner of that estate. Beyond that, I can't offer any more meaningful help."
"That's already more than enough for us!"
Bo Saixi bowed slightly. After a moment's thought, she flipped her palm, revealing a blue conch shell.
"Mr. Danheng, you've done a great favor for Sea God Island. We owe you one. If you ever need us, you can blow this conch—but we'll be on Sea God Island most of the time..."
"Okay."
Danheng accepted it with a nod, saying nothing more. His attitude was clear.
Bo Saixi didn't press further and left the library with the Sea Witch and the others.
Shortly after they left, an irritated voice rang out.
"Danheng! That was way too much, don't you think? Repaying kindness with ingratitude! Is that how you treat your great benefactor?!"
Sea God Poseidon appeared, suddenly standing beside the front desk.
Who knew how long he had been there.
He stormed up angrily, confronting Danheng.
Danheng remained unmoved and said calmly, "You should meet your followers."
"What's so great about them? Boring as hell! I don't want to stay in that godforsaken Sea God Temple!"
Poseidon grabbed Danheng's shoulder, eyes blazing.
Danheng let him grab it—after all, he had indeed acted a bit ungratefully.
It was basically using someone and tossing them aside.
"So what now? You plan to just stay in Heaven Dou City forever?" Danheng asked.
Poseidon rolled his eyes. "Don't think I don't know—you just want me gone. I'm in the way of your happy life, is that it?"
"..."
Danheng stared at Poseidon in silence.
"!!!"
Poseidon's eyes widened. "So you're not even going to deny it now?"
He staggered back a few steps, clutching his chest, looking deeply wounded.
"I always knew you were heartless, but still... I didn't think it'd come to this..." freёnovelkiss.com
Poseidon whined melodramatically, voice sharp.
Danheng completely ignored him, letting him carry on.
Seeing this, Poseidon pouted, walked back over, and slapped the desk.
"You owe me a favor!"
"What favor?"
"Promise first! I'm your benefactor!" Poseidon insisted.
Danheng said nothing and flipped open a book.
Poseidon gritted his teeth. "Fine! Just you wait. When I think of something, I'll be back! Don't you dare play dumb then!"
A few days later.
At the residence of the Strength Clan.
The clan leaders of the four great single-attribute clans had spent several anxious days.
Seeing that Tang Hao hadn't come knocking, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder—was it really thanks to Tai Long?
In the main hall, Titan ordered someone to bring Tai Long back.
Tai Long hadn't returned in days, and only Bai Chenxiang had described their experience to everyone.
Everyone remained skeptical.
After about half a stick of incense, there was still no sign of Tai Long.
Tai Nuo couldn't sit still anymore. He slapped his thigh angrily. "That little brat thinks he's grown wings now, not coming home? I'll drag him back myself!"
Just as he took a few steps, a figure appeared at the door.
It was Tai Long.
"You little brat, you actually dared to come back? Where the hell have you been these past few days? I swear I'm going to beat some sense into you—"
Tai Nuo rolled up his sleeves, ready to charge forward.
"Stop, Tai Nuo. What are you doing? Tai Long, explain—what's going on?"
Titan asked gently, smiling.
Tai Long glanced smugly at Tai Nuo. "Vision! Vision, Dad. I'm telling you, you've still got a long way to go before you reach Grandpa's level!"
His wings really had grown.
But he also had the confidence to back it up!
No matter what, at a time when the entire clan was worrying about their survival—
He, Tai Long, with just one letter from his master, pulled the clan back from the shadow of death.
Oh, and not just the Strength Clan—the other three single-attribute clans as well.
Just for this alone, Tai Nuo should bow his head and thank him!
"You little bastard! If you've got something to say, say it! What's with that look in your eyes? Are you looking to die?"Tai Nuo scolded angrily.
Tai Long shrugged and said:
"Anyway, everything's been resolved. What more do you want to say? Do you really need to figure everything out? Just let it be! Give me some face."
Patting his chest, Tai Long looked completely relaxed and carefree.
There was a moment of silence in the main hall—then suddenly, a burst of laughter.
The patriarch of the Defense Clan, Niu Gao, laughed heartily:
"Old Gorilla, your grandson is hilarious!"
The patriarch of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi, said coldly:
"If we don't get a clear explanation, how could we dare to leave so easily? If Tang Hao comes back again, it'll be even worse."
At that moment—
A loud roar came from outside.
"You bunch of house slaves! Get out here and face me!"
!!!
Hearing that familiar voice, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Because—it was Tang Hao's voice!
Tang Hao had arrived!!!
Tai Long's face turned pale. Under the shocked and uneasy stares of the others, he started panicking.
Wasn't it supposed to be fine?
"Let's go take a look."Tai Tan said in a deep voice.
Everyone left the room and walked toward the courtyard.
In the courtyard, at the gate—
Tang Hao, wearing tattered clothes, stood blocking the way. He held the Clear Sky Hammer, resting it on the ground and stepping on it with his foot. His face was pale, but his eyes were blood-red.
He swept his gaze across the people approaching—like a wolf.
Everyone instinctively lowered their steps.
Even the usually unruly Yang Wudi felt a bit of fear facing Tang Hao.
"Master..."Tai Tan stood at the front, looking awkwardly at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao glared coldly at him and asked:
"I gave you three days—how dare you not go to the Clear Sky Sect and submit? Are you treating me like I'm nothing?!"
A violent aura erupted from Tang Hao.
A bloody red aura enveloped everyone's heads, creating overwhelming pressure.
Of course, given that Tang Hao had been seriously injured by the Sea God Poseidon, he clearly hadn't recovered—he was strong on the outside but weak inside.
But for the sake of his pride, even if it worsened his injuries, he couldn't show weakness!
"But Tang Yuehua clearly agreed..."Tai Long blurted out in shock.
Tang Hao shot him a sharp glare and stared him down.
Tai Tan quickly moved to block his gaze and fell to his knees.
"Master, ever since I pledged my loyalty to you, I've been ready to offer my life. But the Clear Sky Sect treated the Strength Clan unjustly, leaving us to die on our own... Now that you've returned, I, of course, will follow you once again.But please, Master, don't force the other three single-attribute clans... they..."
Tai Tan spoke sincerely, still acknowledging Tang Hao as his master.
"Shut up! I want all four single-attribute clans! No one can stop this! Right now, I'll give you two choices—submit, or—"
Tang Hao roared, but before he could finish—
Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao suddenly rushed in and quickly stopped him.
"Second Brother! You can't do this! The four single-attribute clans have already separated from the Clear Sky Sect! Don't force them!"Tang Yuehua pleaded.
Tang Xiao also chimed in, unable to even look at Tai Tan and the others.
He just couldn't do what Tang Hao did—treat the sacrifice of the clans as nothing.
Tang Hao frowned.
"This has nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect anymore—this is my personal decision!"
"Even so, it's not right, Second Brother. Listen to me—"Tang Yuehua tried to explain softly, clarifying the key point:
She laid out the facts—how the Clear Sky Sect had wronged the clans, and so on.
Tang Xiao spoke earnestly:
"Enough, Brother Hao. I know you want to restore the honor of the sect, but this isn't urgent. We can't act dishonorably..."
Tang Hao fell silent. His face darkened even further—then suddenly, he laughed.
But his smile was cold, his white teeth tinged with blood.
"I understand now. I really do. What you all mean is—you're blaming me, aren't you?I didn't expect... you're still resenting me in your hearts!"
Tang Hao laughed coldly.
"???"
Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua were dumbfounded.
Wait, are you really this sensitive?You seriously made it about yourself?
"Sister! I know—it's because of that Dan Heng, right? That pretty boy must've messed with your head, and now you're treating me like this!"
"Big Brother, you say I owe the Clear Sky Sect and the four single-attribute clans—fine.I know I'm not worthy of returning to the sect—so I'll return everything I owe you!!!"
Tang Hao roared.
Everyone present was shocked speechless.
Wait, what are you even thinking?!
Why can't we keep up with your train of thought?!
Even Qian Xunji, long dead, seemed to echo from beyond:
"I don't get it either! Back then I even tried giving him a way out—but he just wanted to fight!!"
"I'll return EVERYTHING to you!!!"
Tang Hao shouted.
Suddenly, his soul power erupted—especially around his arms and legs.
Tang Xiao suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.
"NO! Brother Hao!!!"
BOOM... BOOM...!!
Two loud explosions rang out—a cloud of blood mist filled the air.
Tang Hao had actually self-detonated his limbs!!!
