Chapter 163 Huo Yuhao Stands Tall on the Earth
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face showed a thoughtful expression.
Dai Hao, did he run away?
Why did they rush to get approval from Xu Jiawei?
In my past life, even Cheng Gang dared to sneak into the Star Emperor Hotel and attack me.
What he showed on the competition stage would only put more pressure on Dai Hao. He originally thought that Dai Hao would make Xuanji Douluo fight desperately.
Deserting in the face of battle is not like Dai Hao's style.
Unless he finds a safer and more promising way to turn things around than taking a risk.
It was something that made him feel that as long as he endured for the time being, he would definitely be able to make a comeback in the future.
The only thing that could give him this confidence is that something serious has happened to the Star Luo royal family.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously picked up a pastry from the coffee table, took a small bite, and the slightly sweet taste made his somewhat groggy mind a little clearer.
He couldn't help but think of the elusive head of the Royal Household Department from his previous life, and asked, "Your Highness, where is the head of the Royal Household Department now?"
Upon hearing this seemingly unrelated question, Xu Jiujiu was visibly taken aback, but still answered truthfully:
"The sect leader began his seclusion more than a year ago, seeking a breakthrough in his cultivation level. He will not easily emerge from seclusion unless our Star Luo royal family faces annihilation."
Huo Yuhao's lips moved slightly, and he gave Gu Yuena a wink.
Gu Yuena, who was taking small bites of pastries, had a flash of platinum in her purple eyes. A few breaths later, her ethereal voice rang out calmly.
"She is dead."
Xu Jiujiu's expression grew even more puzzled. "Who died?"
After swallowing the pastry in her mouth, Gu Yuena picked up another piece and added, "Your head of the temple has been dead for about a few months now."
Even the slow-witted Xu Jiujiu realized what Gu Yuena meant. She suddenly stood up from the sofa, her expression becoming extremely serious.
"I need to go back immediately and confirm this with my brother, so I won't stay any longer."
Seeing Xu Jiujiu preparing to leave in a hurry, Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Please tell His Majesty that I actually hate trouble. If someone doesn't want to be dignified, then I'll help them be dignified."
Although Huo Yuhao's words were very calm, a chilling aura could still be heard in them after a long time.
She glanced instinctively at the silver-haired girl who had been eating pastries the whole time, then nodded, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "I will relay this to my brother truthfully."
……
As the sun sets in the west, the distant horizon is tinged with a desolate dark red.
The White Tiger Guards, clad in silver armor, lowered their heads slightly and reported their location to Dai Hao, who was riding on the magnificent White Tiger Steed.
"Marshal, once we cross the Mingdou Bridge ten miles ahead, we will officially enter the Mingdou Mountain Range. Do you think we should continue onward, or set up camp for the night?"
Even though these White Tiger Guards were all elites above the Soul Venerable level, they could not hide their fatigue after riding at high intensity for two whole days.
Dai Hao's gaze remained cold, and he did not answer immediately.
Two days had passed since they left Xingluo City, and the journey had been uneventful, quite unlike his expectations of being pursued.
But for some reason, the closer he got to the Mingdou Mountains and the sooner he would be within the control of the Western Army Group, the stronger the inexplicable sense of panic in his heart became.
Before he could think it through, a scout who had returned from exploring the front knelt down on one knee, a look of confusion on his face.
"Reporting, Marshal. There is a young man standing in front of Mingdou Bridge. He specifically asked to see you, Marshal."
"one person?"
Dai Hao's expression instantly turned ferocious, and a powerful aura of soul force burst out from his body uncontrollably. He had not expected his opponent to be so arrogant.
No, rather, what exactly does Huo Yuhao want to do?
Could it be that he really thinks he's a Limit Douluo and dares to disregard his status as the Empire's Marshal?
"Yes, Marshal. I only detected the presence of one person."
Faced with Dai Hao's sudden burst of terrifying aura, the scout lowered his head even further. "Marshal, do you think we should go around Mingdou Bridge, or..."
"Let's go. Do you think he won't be blocking our way if we go somewhere else?"
Dai Hao jerked the reins sharply, and the white steed beneath him let out a deep roar, then took the lead and galloped off ahead.
"You all remain where you are and keep a close watch on the carriage escorting the young master. Do not allow any mishaps; violators will be punished according to military law!"
"yes--"
The dozens of White Tiger guards standing around an exquisite carriage responded in unison.
Dust billowed up, and in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Dai Hao suddenly pulled his white tiger horse to a stop a hundred meters in front of the bridge.
He looked at the black-haired boy in front of the bridge, a strangely powerful golden spear casually stuck in the ground in front of him.
Although he didn't sense any oppressive aura from Huo Yuhao, his demeanor clearly indicated that he wasn't going to let him get through the day peacefully.
Dai Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a strong mental fluctuation spread from his body, probing his surroundings. But just as the scout had said, apart from Huo Yuhao, he could not sense any other person's presence.
"Your Grace, how have you been?"
Huo Yuhao pulled the Golden Dragon Spear from the ground, and the tip of the spear was pointed at Dai Hao on horseback.
"Why are you so nervous? This is a private matter between the two of us, and I certainly won't let others interfere."
"Yuhao, we are father and son after all, blood is thicker than water. Is there any hatred that cannot be resolved?"
Dai Hao forced a genuine look of heartache onto his face, his tone filled with regret.
"I will do my best to make up for the debts I have owed you and your son over the past ten years, as long as you give me a chance."
"You'd better stop with your hypocritical act."
Huo Yuhao walked slowly forward, the tip of his spear grazing the muddy ground, producing a metallic clang that made the air vibrate.
"I remember clearly that the Star Luo Empire always promoted the idea that the Duke was deeply devoted and had only one wife."
Even the Duke often taught others that a man who cannot control his desires for women will not achieve much.
As he continued, Huo Yuhao seemed amused by his own words and let out a soft chuckle.
"Or are you saying, Your Grace, that all of this has nothing to do with you, and that you don't actually love your Duchess at all?"
Dai Hao's expression became even more unpleasant, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
These words were naturally deliberately spread by him in his early years in order to consolidate his position in the Western Army Group and even the entire Star Luo Empire as soon as possible.
It should be noted that the army marshals of other empires are all titled Douluo.
His ability to secure this position with the cultivation level of a Contra Douluo is not only due to the legacy of the former White Tiger Duke, but also to the many admirable stories circulating within the empire.
"Does our relationship really have to deteriorate to this extent?"
"Then why don't you answer my question directly? Or does His Majesty the Duke simply not believe he has done anything wrong?"
Huo Yuhao's smile vanished completely, and his blue-gold eyes grew even calmer. "I almost forgot that back then, the Duke would rather give me another younger brother than care about my mother's affairs."
Dai Hao's face immediately showed deep regret, and his voice became hoarse.
"It was my wife who told me that Yun'er had already fallen ill and died while I was away on campaign, and that's when I..."
I only recently learned the truth. Ignorance is no excuse, but shouldn't I be given a chance to reform?
Hearing this answer, which was almost identical to that in his previous life, Huo Yuhao completely lost his patience and said coldly:
"You want a chance? Don't worry, you'll get one soon. Now, get down here."
The booming voice suddenly transformed into a soaring dragon roar, accompanied by a burst of dazzling golden light. A huge and ferocious dragon head phantom appeared behind Huo Yuhao, unleashing a terrifying dragon's might.
The white tiger steed beneath Dai Hao was startled by the sudden and terrifying dragon's might, letting out a mournful neigh and its front hooves uncontrollably rearing up high.
Even Dai Hao, who possessed the cultivation level of a Contra Douluo, was affected by the terrifying dragon's might. His soul trembled, and he experienced a momentary daze. He had no time to regain his balance and was thrown off his horse.
He scrambled to his feet, looking utterly disheveled, his face ashen.
As he watched Huo Yuhao slowly walk within twenty meters, the chill in his heart grew stronger.
"Huo Yuhao! Do you really have no regard for the bond between father and son? Aren't you afraid of killing me and being scorned by the world?"
Upon hearing Dai Hao's threat, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You dare to talk to me about fatherly love? But don't worry, there are plenty of people who want you dead, it's not my turn to do it myself. To me, your only value is kneeling down and apologizing to my mother."
Having experienced thousands of battles, large and small, Dai Hao could naturally sense from Huo Yuhao's tone that there was no turning back now.
He lowered his head, and the murderous intent hidden in his double white tiger eyes grew even stronger.
As Huo Yuhao drew ever closer, Dai Hao's breathing became almost inaudible, but the soul power within his body surged wildly at an astonishing speed. He spoke in a tone that suggested resignation:
"I can confess and apologize to your mother, and I will have no complaints even if you take my life."
But I only beg you to spare Yueheng's life. After all, he is your blood brother, and he has never oppressed you and your son.
Huo Yuhao stopped, his tone laced with sarcasm: "As a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute, what's the point of putting on an act in front of me?"
Feeling Huo Yuhao's gaze, which was as if he were looking at a clown, Dai Hao's pretense was finally torn apart.
He suddenly raised his head, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and his aura surged dramatically. Eight spirit rings rapidly rose from beneath his feet, and the intense pressure of his spirit power carried a strong aura of iron-blooded solemnity.
"Huo Yuhao, do you really think you have victory in your grasp? Since you're showing me so no mercy, then today I'll teach you that arrogance comes at a price!"
Even after inquiring with Xuanji Douluo about the referee that day and learning that the Frost Dragon was indeed the true form of a Martial Soul, Dai Hao still couldn't believe that a half-grown child could be a Soul Saint.
Even if he really is a Soul Saint, so what?
His rich combat experience, honed from thousands of battles, far surpasses that of these flowers nurtured in the academy.
In his view, his true strength was already almost the same as that of an ordinary Title Douluo. Could he really lose to this rebellious son?
Thinking of this, Dai Hao, having completely abandoned all pretense of civility, roared and charged forward, his third and fifth spirit rings lighting up simultaneously.
His body suddenly swelled, and his evil eyes flashed with light.
Its white fur turned golden, and the white tiger phantom behind it shone with golden light. Its immense soul power transformed into tangible waves of energy, and its aura surged at an unprecedented speed.
White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Demon God Transformation.
Two amplifying soul skills that can stack and enhance each other are the most representative soul skills for the White Tiger Martial Soul.
When unleashed by Dai Hao, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Douluo, the domineering aura was far more powerful than that of Dai Yueheng.
For Dai Hao now, a distance of more than ten meters is nothing more than a blink of an eye.
His incomparably sharp and enormous tiger claws swung straight toward Huo Yuhao's head, each claw blade unleashing a golden light blade over a foot long, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
But all Dai Hao saw was a pair of increasingly indifferent golden dragon eyes, and three golden halos that emerged from behind Huo Yuhao.
He didn't even have time to think about why Huo Yuhao's true cultivation level was only Soul Venerable, but his Soul Ring was a strange gold color.
The next moment, the tiger claw blade and the golden dragon spear collided violently.
A sharp, clanging explosion suddenly rang out, bursting into a series of dazzling sparks in the dim twilight.
At the moment of impact, Dai Hao felt an overwhelming force that he could not resist coming from the Golden Dragon Spear. The force was not only heavy, but also had a strange penetrating power, which instantly paralyzed his entire arm.
His burly figure staggered backward, but seeing Huo Yuhao regain his balance after only taking half a step back, his heart was filled with turmoil.
In a real clash of strength, how could I possibly lose to a Soul Master?
This doesn't make sense; there must be something wrong with that spear!
The experience honed through countless battles immediately spurred Dai Hao to make a decision. Without the slightest hesitation, a powerful white light erupted from his body, and countless points of light converged, forming a white tiger meteor shower that rained down on Huo Yuhao.
Amidst the roar of the platinum meteor shower, Dai Hao unhesitatingly unleashed his seventh soul skill, the White Tiger True Form.
