Xiao Wu Dies, Tang Hao is Crippled

Gu Qingshan's gaze followed the two figures in the sky above Shrek Academy, intertwining, colliding, separating, and colliding once more.

Every collision detonated a visible shockwave; wherever these waves passed, houses collapsed, the ground shattered, trees snapped, and the air itself was torn asunder.

This is what a battle at the Title Douluo level looks like.

Unlike himself, who fought silently and focused primarily on damage reflection, he really couldn't boast about his own visual effects.

Yue Guan's hands traced golden arcs in the air, each arc consisting of petals from a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which flew toward Tang Hao from every conceivable angle.

His ten golden threads wove into spiderwebs in the sky, layering one upon another to trap Tang Hao within a golden cage.

Nine spirit rings lit up in succession; first spirit skill, second spirit skill, third spirit skill... released one after another, the golden radiance dyeing half the sky in gold.

Tang Hao's method of response was simple: smash.

No matter what it was, he would shatter it with a single hammer blow.

The two fought from the ground to the sky, and from the sky back to the ground; the already dilapidated Shrek Academy was reduced to ruins in less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Flender stood on a distant hillside, watching the academy he had founded with his own hands turn into rubble, his mouth twitching repeatedly.

He took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions.

"Everyone, retreat further back!"

A moment later, Tang Hao realized he could not easily take down his opponent; Ju Huaguan's strength far exceeded what it had been in the past, and with his own lingering injuries, a prolonged battle was unfavorable!

"Clear Sky Avatar!"

"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand expanded instantly, transforming into a black-and-red giant hammer a hundred meters long.

The giant hammer paused for a heartbeat in the air before it began to rotate, hammer blow following hammer blow, ring linking to ring.

Before the power of the first strike was fully released, the power of the second had already been superimposed upon it.

Each strike was heavier than the last, each strike faster than the one before.

"Chrysanthemums wither, the ground is full of wounds, flowers fall and hearts break!"

Yue Guan could only barely defend himself; his defensive capabilities were not outstanding.

The final strike!

BOOM!

Yue Guan could no longer hold out; his body was sent flying backward, his chest struck by the shockwave of the Clear Sky Hammer, slamming into the plaza and creating a deep crater as dust billowed into the air.

Tang Hao did not fare well either; after all, his old wounds had not yet healed, and now his blood surged, leaving his face deathly pale.

A moment later, Yue Guan stood up from the deep crater and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Tang Hao, you truly live up to your reputation."

Tang Hao did not speak; he gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, standing in the center of the ruins, his breathing ragged, his chest heaving violently.

He looked at Ju Huaguan, the killing intent in his eyes growing instead of fading, and raised the giant hammer once more.

"Great Sumeru Hammer."

The Great Sumeru Hammer, the strongest ultimate technique of the Clear Sky Sect, uses the Sumeru to contain a mustard seed, condensing mountain-like power into a square inch, breaking through defenses with a single point and crushing finesse with sheer weight.

It was the supreme mystery, second only to detonating spirit rings.

Yue Guan watched the Clear Sky Hammer descending from the sky, knowing he could not dodge it, for the range covered by this strike was too vast.

The true essence of the Great Sumeru Hammer is "nowhere to hide"; no matter how you dodge, the hammer will land on your head.

He took a deep breath, pouring all his remaining spirit power into his spirit rings, preparing to stake his life on tanking this strike.

"Heroic Leap!"

Then, a black shadow leaped from behind him, arriving in front of Yue Guan.

It was the Holy Son.

"Copper Wall and Iron Bastion."

"Defensive Stance."

With his skills maxed out, he raised his Thorn Shield to meet the Clear Sky Hammer descending from the heavens.

Hammer and shield collided, producing a heaven-shaking roar.

"BOOM!"

At the center of the collision, a blinding white light exploded, swallowing everything until only that single color remained between heaven and earth.

The earth trembled.

The ground beneath Gu Qingshan's feet collapsed, and a deep crater with a diameter of over ten meters appeared.

Gu Qingshan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper; this injury was even heavier than the one he sustained against Chen Xin.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao was struck by the force of the damage reflection, his abdomen pierced through, leaving a horrific hole as he was sent flying away.

Gu Qingshan hurriedly released the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone spirit bone skill to heal himself.

"Wildfires cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life!"

His damaged internal organs began to repair rapidly, and his torn muscles healed in an instant.

Tang Hao, lying on the ground, saw this scene and the familiar blue light, his eyes splitting with rage: "You beast! It's... you, you stole my Ah Yin... ah!"

His eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and a beast-like roar erupted from his throat.

"I... f*ck your ances... tors!"

Unable to catch his breath, Tang Hao fainted.

"Dad!"

Tang San stood frozen like a wooden chicken. His father, Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo, a level ninety-five Title Douluo, the father who had been so domineering just moments ago, suppressing Chrysanthemum Douluo single-handedly.

He had been defeated by a youth, a youth who looked about the same age as him.

Xiao Wu stood by his side, watching his devastated state, her tears flowing even more fiercely.

"Brother San... Brother San..." she called his name over and over, but he showed no reaction.

On the battlefield, Gu Qingshan walked out of the deep pit, his footsteps crunching softly between the gaps of the rubble.

His breathing had returned to normal, his face was no longer pale, and the color had returned to his lips.

Tang San Hammer, your wife is truly succulent!

"Elder Chrysanthemum."

"This subordinate is here." Yue Guan, equally stunned, answered instinctively.

"Go and kill Tang Hao."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's pupils contracted slightly, but he did not hesitate, nodding as he walked toward the direction where Tang Hao had fallen.

Tang San, lost in his despair, finally had his brain reboot at this moment.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

He rushed toward Tang Hao with miraculous footwork, while a dozen poisoned hidden weapons appeared in his hands.

Gu Qingshan glanced at him and casually raised his Thorn Shield.

"Shield Slam."

A massive force exploded from the surface of the shield, slamming into Tang San like an invisible wall.

"Bang!"

Tang San's body made a series of cracking sounds as his bones and internal organs shattered simultaneously; the hidden weapons scattered from his hands, clattering onto the ground.

His body twitched a few times on the ground before going still.

Dead, with blood flowing from his seven orifices!

"No... Brother San!"

Xiao Wu's scream tore through the sky as she knelt on the ground, wailing.

The corners of Gu Qingshan's mouth curled slightly. Little rabbit, it's your turn now.

The next second.

"Heroic Leap."

He soared into the air, tracing an arc, and the moment he landed, his right foot stomped onto Xiao Wu's face.

"Thud!"

The back of Xiao Wu's head struck the hard ground with a dull impact.

Her skull creaked, and the immense force knocked her unconscious instantly.

Gu Qingshan crouched down, drew a short blade from his waist, and precisely stabbed it into her heart.

Xiao Wu died!
