The instant the yellow light exploded, the Clear Sky Hammer swelled violently. The gale whipped up by its head swept across the ground, sending even loose stones flying.
Gu Ling immediately retreated at the sight, his heart tightening. This is bad. That's Ring Detonation! Tang Hao really intends to fight to the death here!
Dugu Bo instantly raised his hand, emerald light rapidly gathering in his palm, but Gu Rong suddenly stopped him and shouted urgently:
"We're not fighting him. Let's go!"
Dugu Bo said in surprise:
"He's already right on top of us..."
"His son's become a cripple, and his wife sacrificed herself. Why should we risk our lives fighting a madman like him?" Gu Rong sneered, his Seventh Soul Ring lighting up.
Then stark white bones rapidly spread out. An enormous Bone Dragon shielded Gu Ling and Dugu Bo behind it, and as its claw swept through the air before them, a pitch-black rift opened.
At the sight, the killing intent in Tang Hao's eyes intensified. He roared, "You think you can leave?"
He shattered the rock beneath his feet with a vicious stomp, bringing the Clear Sky Hammer crashing down toward the Bone Dragon's head!
Yet Gu Rong never raised a claw to block. The Bone Dragon drew back, pulling Dugu Bo into the rift.
The enormous hammer's shadow followed close behind, but merely grazed the dissipating spatial ripples.
Boom!
The ground collapsed violently, sending shattered stones and broken tree roots hurtling into the air.
His hammer had struck nothing!
Tang Hao immediately turned and spotted Gu Ling still beneath a tree off to the side. Furious, he shouted, "You little bastard! You think you can run too?"
The Clear Sky Hammer swept sideways, snapping tree after tree in its path. Even the escape route behind them
