Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 261: Joker
Chapter 261 - 261: Joker
The blood mist dispersed, and Tang Hao's appearance was revealed before everyone.
It immediately left all those present dumbfounded.
At this moment, Tang Hao had only one arm and one leg left.
He had actually self-detonated!
In front of him floated two spirit bones—an arm bone and a leg bone—emitting a faint glow.
Tang Hao's aura instantly weakened. His spirit power dropped from Title Douluo level to that of a Spirit Sage.
His face was pale, yet his eyes were burning red.
He stared hard at Tang Xiao and said coldly, "Big Brother, are you satisfied now? What I owed the Clear Sky Sect—I've returned all of it to you!"
"Brother Hao...!"
Tang Xiao's tiger eyes brimmed with tears. He grabbed Tang Hao's shoulder, urgently transferring spirit power to seal the wounds.
He was utterly stunned.
Why did Tang Hao have to go this far?
Tang Yuehua covered her mouth. Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Her tears streamed uncontrollably. "Second Brother, how... how could you be so foolish? You..."
Seeing his family so heartbroken, Tang Hao suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.
"Now! Are you satisfied yet? I don't need to return to the sect anymore! What I owed the Clear Sky Sect—I've repaid it in full!"
"Yuehua! Second Brother is listening to you now, just let go of that pretty boy Dan Heng!"
"Big Brother! Why aren't you taking these two spirit bones?!"
Despite his severe injuries, Tang Hao showed no sign of pain—only an indescribable madness!
Yes, he was practically insane!
The representatives of the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans couldn't understand either—what was Tang Hao even thinking?
Even if you returned the spirit bones to the Clear Sky Sect, wasn't that something you were supposed to do anyway? Tang Xiao had only refrained from mentioning it out of consideration for brotherly ties. freewebnσvel.cøm
And the losses you brought to the sect—are they just erased now?
Now it's like, just because you're seriously injured, you automatically have the moral high ground!
Tang Hao continued coldly: "Let's part ways here. From now on, we walk separate paths under the same sky!"
He shook off Tang Xiao's hand and turned to leave.
Naturally, Tang Xiao couldn't accept this and held onto Tang Hao's only arm tightly, his face filled with pain.
"Hao, come back to the sect with me. You've already returned—no need for any further contributions..."
Tang Xiao's voice cracked, practically begging.
But Tang Hao ignored him entirely. With a cold snort, he shook his spirit power and threw Tang Xiao off. Then, with a flash, he leaped onto the courtyard wall.
Looking down on Tang Xiao, he said coldly:
"I said it before—from now on, we are no longer on the same path! Sect Master Tang, if you try to stop me again, then one of us must die!"
With that, he hopped away on one leg into the distance.
Tang Xiao raised his hand, powerless, watching Tang Hao's retreating figure.
"Big Brother, hurry and follow him. You don't have to bring him back—just at least find out where he's going..."
Tang Yuehua urged.
Tang Xiao nodded repeatedly and quickly vanished, chasing after Tang Hao.
Tang Yuehua wiped the tears from her face. After sobbing a little longer, she looked at the representatives of the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans with red eyes.
She bowed deeply and said softly:
"Apologies. My second brother has caused trouble for everyone..."
Tang Yuehua expressed the Clear Sky Sect's position—they would not force the Four Great Clans and would respect their decisions.
Moreover, the sect would provide future compensation and protection.
If any clan wished to return, the Clear Sky Sect would fully support them.
Their sincerity was evident.
"...If any of you are interested, you are welcome to visit Moon Pavilion or the Clear Sky Sect. We will always welcome you."
Tang Yuehua forced a smile and turned to leave.
The leaders of the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans remained silent for a while.
Staring at the bloodstains on the ground, they were all at a loss.
Tang Hao's actions were too extreme.
He actually self-detonated?
Tai Long muttered, "That guy must be crazy. No wonder he caused the Clear Sky Sect so much trouble. This is absurd!"
Titan glared at Tai Long and said, "Mind your manners!"
Tai Long shrank his neck. He didn't dare argue with Titan.
The other clan leaders said:
"Just as Tai Long said, the Clear Sky Sect seems to be giving us a genuine choice. That shows sincerity..."
"Sincerity, my ass! If it weren't for Tai Long's letter, the Clear Sky Sect would've pretended nothing happened! Old White Crane, you're related to the Clear Sky Sect by marriage—if you want to return, do it yourself. Don't talk nonsense!"
"I agree. If they betrayed us once, who's to say they won't do it again?"
"..."
Tai Long listened to their chatter and kept nodding.
"Exactly! If it weren't for me, would the Clear Sky Sect be this generous and let us go free? They're just a bunch of hypocrites!"
"By the way, that letter—where did it come from? Who gave it to you? Was it really that Dan Heng guy Tang Hao mentioned?"
Suddenly, Tai Nuo appeared next to Tai Long and threw an arm around his neck.
"!!!" Tai Long's face changed. He couldn't run now and began to panic.
"Dad, whatever you say is right..."
Tai Long gave a forced smile.
"Now you call me Dad?" Tai Nuo said with a fake smile, elbowing Tai Long in the forehead.
"Dan Heng...?"
Bai Chenxiang tilted her head in confusion.
She was full of curiosity about this person.
Elsewhere, the explosion caused by Tang Hao's self-detonation had long since drawn attention, especially from people with ulterior motives.
For instance, the Spirit Hall...
Inside Bibi Dong's room, the walls were covered with vivid portraits of Dan Heng, almost lifelike. There were also clothes belonging to Dan Heng, making it seem as if he actually lived there.
Bibi Dong hugged a piece of clothing, pressing her cheek to it and inhaling blissfully.
It was a 1:1 replica of Dan Heng's clothing.
The only flaw—it had never actually been worn by Dan Heng, so it lacked his scent.
But... she could imagine!
Knock knock knock...!
A series of urgent knocks echoed.
Bibi Dong quickly stashed the clothing and went to open the door.
It was Hu Liena. "Teacher, something outrageous has happened..."
Sitting together on the sofa, Hu Liena recounted Tang Hao's self-detonation.
When she mentioned that Tang Hao had cursed Dan Heng, a flicker of rage crossed Bibi Dong's flawless face.
"That bastard! How dare he?!"
Bibi Dong was furious.
At this point, her heart was completely filled with Dan Heng—he had entirely replaced Yu Xiaogang.
That deeper obsession not only enhanced her cultivation, but also intensified her desire for Dan Heng.
"Teacher...?" Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong in confusion.
Bibi Dong said coldly, "Qian Daoliu said not to move against the Clear Sky Sect. But now that Tang Hao has severed ties with them and is our enemy, we must teach him a lesson!"
Hu Liena froze slightly, puzzled by Bibi Dong's reasoning.
Just because Tang Hao insulted Mr. Dan Heng, she was willing to defy Qian Daoliu?
"Teacher, perhaps... reconsider?" Hu Liena gently suggested.
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "Reconsider what? Go!"
Hu Liena gave an awkward smile. She hadn't even warmed her seat yet!
At the Crown Prince's mansion.
Qian Renxue naturally also learned about Tang Hao's self-detonation.
When she heard that he insulted Dan Heng, she sneered, "Evil will be punished by Heaven! He harmed my father back then—now he's finally paying the price!"
The door opened.
Qian Daoliu entered. Seeing Qian Renxue's satisfied expression, he knew she had received the same news.
"I had already let Tang Hao go. Who knew the heavens would destroy him by first making him mad? Such foolishness."
Qian Daoliu shook his head lightly, clearly pleased.
Although Tang Hao didn't directly kill Qian Xunji, his grievous wounds made it possible for Bibi Dong to assassinate him.
"Grandfather, maybe we can use this chance to..." Qian Renxue looked at him expectantly.
Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly. "No need. Xue'er, you have more important things to do. You're awakening the divinity of the Angel God—how's that going?"
Qian Daoliu looked at her with deep concern. To him, helping her become a god far outweighed any vengeance or political gain.
Though he was learning from Dan Heng how to attain a peaceful mind, if Qian Renxue could directly become a god, it was even better.
Qian Renxue sat down with a troubled look, massaging her forehead and sighing:
"Grandfather, lately I've been having many dreams about Mr. Dan Heng... and I can feel our ancestor's emotions. If I can bring her peace, I should be able to fully awaken the divinity in my bloodline. But..."
She furrowed her brows. Though she had feelings for Dan Heng...
She knew he was deeply bonded with his wife. There was no way he'd just casually get involved with her.
Especially after Bibi Dong's example—there was no chance her plan would succeed!
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and turned away, not immediately offering a solution.
Truthfully, he had no answer either...
...
Inside a certain room.
A deep blue crystal reflected the interaction between Qian Jia and her grandfather.
Sea God Poseidon watched the scene and let out a long sigh.
"Yuhan, oh Yuhan... After all these years, you're still thinking about that cold-hearted guy Dan Heng, yet you still don't remember me."
A look of sorrow appeared on Poseidon's face.
The past was too painful to recall — those were the days of his lost youth!Back then, he had received countless "nice guy" rejections, always being treated like a big brother or a mentor. Love? Nowhere in sight.
With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the sea-blue crystal.
"But since she's your descendant, I still have to help. Dan Heng owes me a favor, so I'll help you one last time..."
Poseidon shook his head as he spoke.
At that moment—
There was a sudden knock at the door.
Several familiar auras approached.
Poseidon immediately knew that those outside were his followers.
"That bastard Dan Heng, always causing me trouble... If I let him off too easily, wouldn't that just be too boring?"
Poseidon narrowed his eyes as a mischievous idea popped into his mind.
Blue Tyrant Academy.
While training, Tang San suddenly felt mentally unsettled, spacing out several times.
Ma Hongjun, running alongside him with weights, noticed this and asked, "Tang San, are you feeling weak or something?"
"..."
Tang San glared at Ma Hongjun and clenched his fist.
In this version of events, the bond between the Shrek Seven Devils wasn't particularly deep.
They hadn't been through life-and-death situations together, and there were too many differences between them — overall, none of the relationships were truly strong.
Especially Ma Hongjun, whose big mouth constantly teased Dai Mubai and Tang San.
With a cold snort, Tang San ignored Ma Hongjun and sped up, trying to leave him behind.
But Ma Hongjun stuck to him like glue and caught up again.
"Xiao San, I think you've got a thing for Zhu Zhuqing, huh?"
Ma Hongjun grinned mischievously.
"!!" Tang San's heart skipped a beat — this was a secret he hadn't revealed to anyone!
"Your Brother Ma has sharp eyes — you've been sneaking glances at Zhu Zhuqing these past few days. Don't think I haven't noticed!"
Ma Hongjun raised his eyebrows proudly.
"What are you trying to say?" Tang San asked coldly.
Running side by side with him, Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai ahead of them and chuckled, "Xiao San, don't forget Zhu Zhuqing is Boss Dai's fiancée. It's not right to go after your brother's woman, y'know? As the saying goes, a brother's wife is off-limits..."
Tang San's face turned grim. He always held himself to the highest moral standards.
"Zhu Zhuqing already broke off the engagement with Mubai!"
"She realized he wasn't right for her, and she made that decision. That's something worthy of respect. Don't insult her with that kind of talk!"
Tang San snapped angrily.
Ma Hongjun's expression also turned cold. "Xiao San, spare me the speech. No matter what, Zhu Zhuqing was still Boss Dai's girl. You wouldn't want him to find out you're making a move on her, right?"
"How about this — take me up on a few visits to the brothel. Blow off some steam, lose your virginity, and broaden your horizons. I promise, you won't regret it! After that, we'll be real bros for life."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun reached out to throw his arm over Tang San's shoulders.
Tang San dodged him with a cold snort and said, "Nonsense! I, Tang San, don't need to explain myself to anyone. Yes, I do have feelings for Zhu Zhuqing. I'm not going to hide it. I'll go tell her right now — let everyone see clearly!"
Ma Hongjun's words had only made Tang San more determined.
He immediately caught up to Zhu Zhuqing and walked up beside her.
Fueled by emotion, he said in a low voice, "Zhu Zhuqing, I want to get to know you better. Can I stay by your side..."
"Scram."
Zhu Zhuqing cut him off irritably, not even bothering to look at him.
"!!!" Tang San froze on the spot, staring blankly at her retreating figure.
Ma Hongjun burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "Hahaha... Xiao San, you're such a clown!"
Ahead of them, Dai Mubai turned back and looked at Tang San's expression. His own face darkened.
That bastard actually wants to cuck me?
He should take a good look in the mirror — does he really think he's worthy?
Xiao Wu was also on the training ground. Seeing this unfold, whatever faint fantasy she once had in her heart completely shattered.
At that moment, the bonds of the Shrek Seven Devils were nothing but an empty name!
Tang San clenched his fists. Surrounded by laughter, his eyes turned red.
These people — each and every one of them — was asking for death!
"Tang San, what — you wanna throw hands now? You made your move, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Ma Hongjun laughed.
"..."
Tang San gritted his teeth so hard his palms bled from his nails digging in.
He turned and stormed off — to go find his father for backup!
