Going Along with the Mistake (2)

At this point, Qian Ren Shuang paused, then added, "As for me? Just now I came over sitting on Growlmon's tail. I almost got thrown off."

Oscar: "..."

That reason really was plain and unadorned.

By now, Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape had also settled on a plan: Xiao Wu would have the Titan Giant Ape throw her upward at an angle.

What Xiao Wu had to do was use the time while she was thrown into the sky to quickly condense her third spirit ring—teleportation.

Then, when she was about to hit the ground, she would seize the chance to teleport onto a tree, using the branches to bleed off some of the force.

The Titan Giant Ape hesitated for less than half a second before nodding in agreement.

The Titan Giant Ape looked in the direction it had come from—over there, the trees were densest, making it the best place for Xiao Wu to find a foothold before landing.

Then it took a deep breath, its arm suddenly bursting with strength, and hurled Xiao Wu viciously upward at an angle!

Xiao Wu's body was like a javelin thrown by an Olympic athlete, soaring high into the air, tracing a parabola as she flew toward the depths of the forest.

"No—my Xiao Wu!"

When Tang San saw this, his mind exploded with a buzz.

As far as he was concerned, if a person was thrown out like that, they would definitely die when they hit the ground.

How could he know that Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape had already discussed a plan?

All he saw was Xiao Wu being thrown away by that ape like trash, on the verge of being smashed into a pulp.

Rage and panic struck his heart.

His eyes nearly split with fury.

Tang San's face turned deathly pale, yet his eyes were so red they looked ready to drip blood. His whole body trembled, and even his voice changed pitch. "You bastard—you already have a path to death!"

"Teacher Zhao!" Tang San abruptly turned his head, his voice so hoarse it barely sounded human. "Xiao Wu is my little sister! No matter what happens, I have to go find her!"

After throwing down those words, Tang San ignored everything else, turned, and ran, sprinting madly in the direction Xiao Wu had been thrown. His Blue Silver Grass dragged a long trail behind him, his back as resolute as if he were going to his death.

Zhao Wuji froze for a second.

Then his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Tang San—I CNMLGBD! You GZZ, are you fucking blind?! Can't you see which side is more urgent right now? I fucking hope you get cataracts soon!"

Zhao Wuji, who had originally been lying there playing dead, could not help cursing aloud in rage, his roar echoing through the entire Star Dou Forest.

He truly exploded with anger—over here, WarGrowlmon was still fighting for its life against the Titan Giant Ape, everyone was injured, and this was exactly when they needed to work together to deal with the situation. Yet you, Tang San, were great. With one line of "my little sister," you just ran off?

So your little sister's life was life, but the lives of the eight of us weren't lives?

Dai Mubai and the others had originally still been moved by the bond between Tang San and Xiao Wu—for the sake of his little sister, he could disregard everything, and that affection was indeed rare.

But after hearing Zhao Wuji curse like that, a different feeling inevitably rose in their hearts.

That was right. Xiao Wu's life was life, but what about us? All of us put together still weren't as important as Xiao Wu alone?

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Tang Hao, hidden in a tree nearby, frowned slightly. The look he gave Zhao Wuji was not very friendly, and he muttered inwardly, Looks like I'll have to find a time to pay this Zhao Wuji a visit in the future.

Tang Hao's gaze fell on Tang San's departing back, and he followed silently.

No matter what, his son mattered most.

At present, Tang Hao's view of Qian Ren Shuang was merely: an object he wanted to win over.

Before Qian Ren Shuang clearly displayed an attitude of opposition toward Spirit Hall, he absolutely would not step in to help.

After all, Tang Hao still carried old injuries that had yet to heal, so he was in a state of "if I can avoid making a move, I won't."

On the battlefield, without Xiao Wu as a concern, the Titan Giant Ape could finally let loose and deal with the situation before it.

The Titan Giant Ape's crimson eyes stared fixedly at WarGrowlmon pressing down on it, its muscles taut, power surging wildly through its body.

The next moment, the Titan Giant Ape stomped hard against WarGrowlmon's chest armor!

Boom—!

That kick was heavy and fierce, carrying the terrifying brute strength of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast. WarGrowlmon's massive body was actually sent sliding backward more than a dozen meters by the kick, leaving a deep footprint dent in its metal chest armor.

At the same time, Qian Ren Shuang, who had been watching the battle beside Oscar, suddenly clutched his chest, his face instantly turning deathly white, as if someone had punched him square in the chest.

"What's wrong?" Oscar quickly supported Qian Ren Shuang, his tone anxious. "Are you all right?"

"It's nothing serious..." Qian Ren Shuang clutched his chest, his voice trembling slightly. "Although this spirit skill of mine is strong, it links my senses with WarGrowlmon's. It was kicked away just now, so naturally I shared a bit of the force."

Of course, though that was what he said, Qian Ren Shuang was already thinking about "how to separate from everyone for post-battle maintenance."

After all, post-battle maintenance required using his second martial soul—Food Is Heaven. It was best if no one knew about this matter except himself and Guilmon.

The Titan Giant Ape clearly did not want to tangle with WarGrowlmon any longer.

"Titan Sky Cannon!"

This was the Titan Giant Ape's strongest skill, and the moment it made a move, it played its trump card.

Just as everyone thought the Titan Giant Ape had been enraged and was preparing to use its full strength to slaughter the WarGrowlmon before it, an abrupt scene occurred: after releasing that attack, the Titan Giant Ape actually turned and ran!

The Titan Giant Ape ran in the direction it had thrown Xiao Wu earlier, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished into the dense jungle.

From the very beginning, the Titan Giant Ape's only target had been Xiao Wu.

Since Xiao Wu had already been taken back to the Star Dou Forest, the Titan Giant Ape naturally had no need to fight to the death here with some demonic dragon of unknown origin.

But that Titan Sky Cannon had already left its hand, sweeping forward with a world-destroying momentum as it blasted toward everyone!

"Soul Skill Switch—Enhancement Core!"

The current situation was hardly suited for showing off, so Qian Ren Shuang skipped all those flashy movements and precisely sent his first soul ring into WarGrowlmon's body.

WarGrowlmon's spirits surged. Dark-red light frantically gathered inside the cannon barrels on both sides of his chest armor, and the temperature spiked sharply.

"Second innate skill—Atomic Blaster!"

WarGrowlmon's second innate ability was unleashed at full power in that instant.

It was worth mentioning that this skill had different names in different forms—when he was in Guilmon form, it was called Guilmon Cannon; in Growlmon form, it was called Demon Dragon Flame; and once he reached WarGrowlmon form, it upgraded into Atomic Blaster.

Two crimson beams erupted from the cannon barrels on WarGrowlmon's chest, carrying the might to burn everything to ash as they met the Titan Sky Cannon head-on.

However—

The gap in their soul power was ultimately too great.

The two forces collided in midair, but Atomic Blaster could only barely slow the Titan Sky Cannon's flight speed. It was utterly unable to cancel it out.
