Tang Hao was swift, arriving at the poisonous miasma half a day later.

Placing the Clear Sky Hammer under his feet, he roared toward the mountain peak, "Dugu Bo, get out here!"

Tang Hao's voice, swirling with soul power, was heard clearly by everyone within a few kilometers.

"Dugu Bo? Did I hear correctly? Someone actually dared to challenge Poison Douluo?" A mercenary soul hunter nearby wondered curiously.

"Who knows? Perhaps it's another powerful one."

"Hey, hey, let's get going! Otherwise, a fight will start and sooner or later, it'll affect us."

For safety's sake, many soul-hunting teams within Sunset Forest retreated.

After Tang Hao's shouting, seeing no one appear, he frowned. "Is Dugu Bo trying to be a coward?"

As for the poisonous miasma before him, Tang Hao, for safety's sake, did not enter it lightly.

Little did they know, Dugu Bo wasn't within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire at the moment. He was cultivating his soul power in the Skyburn Soul Refining Tower.

Han Yu also caught Tang Hao's movements.

Tang Hao had once been severely injured by a fire lotus formed from the fusion of two different fires, and some of the fire's aura still lingered within him.

"Tang Hao, since you've shown up, let's have a fight!"

Han Yu immediately headed towards Sunset Forest.

He hadn't planned to tell Dugu Bo about this; he was more than capable of dealing with Tang Hao now.

...

After shouting for a while, Tang Hao saw no response. Naturally, his already fiery temper couldn't stand it anymore.

He scooped up the Clear Sky Hammer and charged into the poisonous miasma.

This miasma was completely immune to Titled Douluo.

Tang Hao's speed was so fast that he reached the mountaintop before the Netherworld Poison Fire could react.

"No Dugu Bo's presence?" Tang Hao frowned.

However, he had another mission: to find the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Gazing at the narrow cave entrance atop the mountain, Tang Hao recalled Tang San's words.

"The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire usually appears within valleys, and the entrances to these valleys are often incredibly narrow."

Gazing at the cave entrance before him, Tang Hao was certain this was it.

Leaping, he quickly landed within.

Soon, a distinct spring, one blue and one red, appeared before his eyes.

"Dugu Bo isn't here. This must be the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire that Xiao San mentioned!"

Tang Hao landed, his surroundings in full view.

He quickly scanned the area, searching for any trace of immortal herbs.

However, after searching extensively, he only found some common medicinal herbs.

These herbs were indeed growing better than those outside, but they were not immortal herbs.

Upon closer inspection, Tang Hao discovered some plants with rich spiritual energy, but they had only sprouted a few tender shoots, far from the standard of immortal herbs.

"Damn it! Did Dugu Bo harvest them?"

Furious, Tang Hao pulled away all the herbs Dugu Bo had planted. As for the newly sprouted immortal herbs, he didn't touch them.

This was already his Tang family's territory. When these immortal herbs fully matured, the Tang family's descendants would also enjoy their benefits.

...

Not far from the exit of Sunset Forest, Tang Hao saw a young man with wings on his back blocking his path.

"It's you! How dare you appear before me? Fine, fine!"

The person who came was Han Yu.

As for Tang Hao's grudge against him, it naturally stemmed from the other party's targeting of Tang San during their time at Notting Academy.

However, he was later injured by a mysterious individual's explosion, and by the time he recovered, Han Yu had long since vanished.

"Tang Hao, I see you haven't fully grasped the situation yet."

As he spoke, eight yellow, purple, and red spirit rings appeared beneath Han Yu's feet, revealing his 87th-level spirit power.

"How is this possible? How can you have so many 100,000-year spirit rings?" Tang Hao's right hand, clutching the Clear Sky Hammer, trembled slightly.

A 100,000-year spirit ring implies the emergence of a 100,000-year spirit bone. Han Yu possessed five 100,000-year spirit rings, and the spirit skills granted by the rings alone surpassed his own, not to mention the skills provided by the 100,000-year spirit bones.

But then he thought, the other party was only at the Soul Douluo level. If he could defeat Han Yu, wouldn't all the spirit bones be his?

Then, if Tang San absorbed the spirit bones, wouldn't he be able to soar on the spot?

"Given your difficult cultivation, if you offer me all your spirit bones and become a dog of the Tang family, I will spare your life," Tang Hao snorted coldly.

The Tang family is always self-righteous.

Han Yu smiled faintly and said, "My condition is, Tang Hao, kneel down and call me father, and I will spare your life today!"

"You're looking for death!" Humiliated like this, Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer and struck him with a powerful blow.

The Clear Sky Hammer's power was immense, and sonic booms echoed wherever it passed.

Han Yu remained calm. The Fire Cloud Staff materialized in his palms, and he swung his hands fiercely, colliding with the Clear Sky Hammer. The powerful shockwave uprooted the trees beneath their feet.

"It's you! Die! Thousand-pound force!"

The moment he saw Han Yu's spirit, Tang Hao recognized him as the culprit behind his severe injuries and Tang San's disfigurement.

As a black spirit ring lit up, Tang Hao's attack power surged, leaving Han Yu feeling overwhelmed.

With a single thrust of his staff, he forced Tang Hao back. Simultaneously, he employed his Divine Fire Seeking Flame technique to quickly distance himself.

"I'll skip the strange fire this time. Let's see if I can challenge Tang Hao."

With this resolve in mind, the fourth spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up. "Fourth spirit skill, Flying Sand and Piercing Flame!"

He hurled the Fire Cloud Staff in his hand. The image of a Fire Cloud Crane emerged from it, merging into a single entity, transforming into a flaming meteor that shot towards Tang Hao.

The powerful impact erupted upon the Clear Sky Hammer, triggering a violent explosion.

Tang Hao still had hidden injuries within him, so he hesitated to use the explosive ring. He could only barely withstand the blow from the hundred-thousand-year spirit skill.

But the powerful shockwave ruffled his hair and ripped his clothes, leaving him looking like a street beggar.

"How dare you! Since you refuse my request, then be prepared to die!"

Tang Hao shouted, and the blood-red soul ring under his feet lit up instantly.

"Ninth soul skill, Blue Silver Clear Sky Strike!"

"It's just right for me to use you to try out my self-created soul skill."

These days, Han Yu's training focus has all been on his self-created soul skills. To the extent that he even gave up soul power training. Of course, he was also very satisfied with the result, as he cultivated his self-created soul skills to perfection.

"One stick is boundless."

The aura in Han Yu's body suddenly surged, and the Fire Cloud Stick in his hand suddenly grew larger.

He held the stick in both hands and smashed it hard towards Tang Hao's position.

As soon as the stick came out, it was boundless, endless, and endless; like breaking through the clouds, carrying the momentum of the world and the sea.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

"Prepare to die!"
