第15章 围杀唐昊

Upon hearing that they were going to the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were both somewhat surprised. Although they had the Mycelium Network to assist their cultivation, their soul power was increasing very fast.

Ning Rongrong had already reached level 28, and Zhu Zhuqing had also reached level 29. Yet neither had reached level 30, so they did not need to go hunting for soul rings yet.

Lan Yu did not explain to them. He simply brought them along and hurried to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Lan Yu spread out the Mycelium Network, forming a small mushroom domain.

You will cultivate right here and raise your soul power ranks to level 30 as quickly as possible.

Alright, what are you going to do?

I have more important things to do.

Afterward, Lan Yu walked through the Star Dou Great Forest while spreading out the Mycelium Network.

Soon, Lan Yu discovered a dead Crested Serpentsan.

It looks like this is the one that was supposed to become Oscar's soul ring. Because of the butterfly effect, it should have become Meng Yiran's soul ring instead.

Let's search and see if we can find that Man Faced Demon Spider. The Eight Spider Lances must not fall into Tang San's hands again.

While Lan Yu searched for the Man Faced Demon Spider, Flender led the team, and the Shrek Academy party also entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu had not spoken the entire time, but her heart was beating very fast. This was her only chance to break free from Tang San and his father, so it was hard for her not to be nervous.

Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?

N-nothing. It's gloomy here, making me feel very uncomfortable.

It's fine. No matter what happens, I will protect you.

The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth twitched, and she managed a forced smile.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed without any gains at all. When night fell, Flender had people set up a bonfire to rest.

Soul hunting was never easy. To find a suitable soul ring, spending ten days or half a month was completely normal.

Strange?

Dean, what's strange?

Don't you guys think it's too quiet? There are many soul beasts active out here on the periphery; it shouldn't be this quiet.

Could it be that excessive slaughter caused the peripheral soul beasts to decrease?

Impossible. Unless Spirit Hall gathered a large number of soul masters to purge them, relying solely on scattered soul masters hunting soul beasts wouldn't nearly reach the point of drastically reducing the peripheral soul beasts.

In short, the current situation is abnormal. All of you, snap out of it and stay alert.

Yes, Dean!

Only Xiao Wu knew the real reason. These peripheral soul beasts had all been scared off after sensing the aura of the Titan Giant Ape.

Over on Lan Yu's side, he had already found that Man Faced Demon Spider and managed to get his hands on the Eight Spider Lances.

After refining the Eight Spider Lances, Lan Yu wanted to transform them into wings. Combined with the Dance with the Wind ability, wings could greatly enhance his flight capability.

Right at that moment, Lan Yu sensed the Titan Giant Ape.

That rabbit has made her move as well. Let's go watch the show.

Back on Shrek Academy's side, a sudden gale blew up, and a huge black shadow leaped over their heads, blocking their escape route.

Flender saw the true form of the black shadow, and his face instantly turned pale.

Titan Giant Ape! H-how could it appear on the periphery?! Everyone, run!

The Titan Giant Ape slapped a palm toward Flender.

Seventh Soul Skill: Cat Owl True Form!

Flender summoned his Avatar, but he was still sent flying with a single slap from the Titan Giant Ape.

Immediately afterward, the Titan Giant Ape raised its hand and grabbed, snatching Xiao Wu right into its grasp.

At that moment, Xiao Wu said to the Titan Giant Ape, Run quickly!

The Titan Giant Ape was very obedient. It grabbed Xiao Wu and dashed deep into the forest.

Xiao Wu!

Seeing Xiao Wu being taken away by the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San yelled and moved to give chase.

Dai Mubai grabbed Tang San's shoulder. You can't save her back. If you chase after them, you're just throwing your life away. Don't be rash.

Let go! No matter what, I must save Xiao Wu back.

Tang San shook off Dai Mubai and bolted toward Deep Senluo, but Tang Hao directly manifested.

Dad?

Little San, you stay here. I'll go after them...

Dad, you...

Tang Hao did not waste words. He produced his martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and flashed nine soul rings: two yellows, two purples, four blacks, and one red.

Stumbling back in a disheveled state, Flender was also startled upon seeing this scene.

Clear Sky Hammer! You are His Eminence Clear Sky!

Mn, help me take good care of Little San.

No problem, Your Eminence Clear Sky. No wonder he is such a genius—turns out he's the son of His Eminence Clear Sky.

Flender's flattery skills were also top-notch.

Tang Hao did not waste any words. With a flash of his figure, he sped off toward Deep Senluo.

Observing from the shadows, Lan Yu also gave chase. Logically speaking, at Tang Hao's speed, if the Titan Giant Ape did not stop, he definitely would not catch up.

However, the Titan Giant Ape did stop after all, at Xiao Wu's request.

Erming had given Xiao Wu immense confidence; he wanted to teach Tang Hao a good lesson to avenge several years of lingering fear and trepidation.

Sensing Tang Hao approaching, the Titan Giant Ape let out a roar.

Erming, make your move!

Roar...

The Titan Giant Ape directly expanded its gravity domain, enveloping the charging Tang Hao within it.

Tang Hao's expression changed instantly. Death God Domain, open!

White killing intent spread out with Tang Hao at the center. It was precisely the Death God Domain that Tang Hao had acquired from the Capital of Slaughter.

As the domains clashed, neither side gained an advantage, and the Titan Giant Ape's fist was already smashing toward Tang Hao.

Clear Sky Nine Jue: Destruction Formula, unite posture with force, shatter with fierce velocity!

The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the Titan Giant Ape's fist. Tang Hao was sent flying backward, and the Titan Giant Ape also took a step back.

Puff! A mouthful of blood spewed from Tang Hao's mouth. His previous injuries had not yet fully healed, and now he had sustained injuries upon injuries.

Erming, kill him!

Roar...

At that moment, Tang Hao heard Xiao Wu's voice clearly, and his face turned even more ashen.

He only now understood that he had been exposed long ago. This entire time, the rabbit had been acting right in front of him, and he hadn't even realized it.

Although furious, Tang Hao had not lost his reason. He turned to flee, only to find that a Mycelium Swamp had actually appeared under his feet.

Damn it! How dare you trick me!

The reply Tang Hao received was the mushrooms continuously sprouting all around him, alongside the spores released by those mushrooms.

Upon seeing these mushrooms, Xiao Wu's face showed joy. Sage Lord of Fungi protect us, Erming, charge!

Although Erming was unclear why so many mushrooms had suddenly popped up, that didn't matter. As long as he obeyed Big Sister Xiao Wu's words, that was enough.

The Titan Giant Ape's fist smashed over once more, its power even greater than before.

Seventh Soul Skill: Clear Sky True Form!

Tang Hao summoned his Clear Sky True Form, swinging his hammer to block the Titan Giant Ape's fist.

Right at this moment, behind Tang Hao, the Jadeplume Terrorshroom was once again summoned by Lan Yu.

Roar...

The Jadeplume Terrorshroom whipped its tail, launching grass-element missiles toward Tang Hao that exploded upon his body.

Dividing his attention between withstanding the Titan Giant Ape and forcefully enduring the Jadeplume Terrorshroom's attacks, Tang Hao simply could not hold on for long.

As for the abruptly appearing Jadeplume Terrorshroom, the Titan Giant Ape was stunned for a moment. He had never seen such a soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest before.

Seizing this momentary opening, Tang Hao roared, Ring Detonation!

Tang Hao's first six soul rings instantly shattered, transforming into pure soul power that integrated into the Clear Sky Hammer.
