Tang Hao's current body could only withstand detonating six rings at most, but even with just six rings detonated, the Great Clear Sky Hammer had become incomparably massive.
At that moment, Bifulong's voice rang by Xiao Wu's ear. "Have you gone stupid? Hurry up and tell that big fool to run! Does he want to foolishly take another hammer strike?"
"Lord Sage! I understand. Erming, run!"
The Titan Giant Ape clearly looked confused.
"Don't ask so many questions. Just run!"
With the Titan Giant Ape's stubborn nature, he had very much wanted to test Tang Hao's Great Clear Sky Hammer, but he would not disobey Xiao Wu's orders.
He immediately turned and fled as fast as he could, leaving Tang Hao dumbfounded instead.
The Great Clear Sky Hammer had never been a locking skill, and its activation time was extremely slow.
The only reason this move had been praised so highly was because everyone struck by it had been a stubborn fool.
Whether it was Qian Daoliu or Qian Xunji, they could have completely left the Great Clear Sky Hammer's attack range while it was charging.
Now that the Titan Giant Ape had clearly run beyond the Great Clear Sky Hammer's range, Tang Hao could do nothing.
With no other choice, Tang Hao shifted his target to the Jadeplume Terrorshroom.
"Since that beast has run away, you can take this blow instead."
The Great Clear Sky Hammer descended and smashed the Jadeplume Terrorshroom flat.
Violent power spread in every direction, gouging an enormous crater into the ground. The terrifying might of the Great Clear Sky Hammer was plain to see.
However, Tang Hao had clearly failed to remember the lesson from before. Lightning element would only send the beast into a Catalyzed state.
The violent lightning elemental energy carried by Tang Hao's Great Clear Sky Hammer had also thoroughly catalyzed the Mycelium Network beneath this entire area.
Taking advantage of this, Lan Yu summoned the Catalyzed Jadeplume Terrorshroom. Seeing it reappear, Tang Hao was even more astonished.
"What exactly is this thing? Even the Great Clear Sky Hammer couldn't kill it!"
The Jadeplume Terrorshroom did not care what Tang Hao was thinking. Catalyzing Plumage! Countless Grass Element Missiles shot toward Tang Hao once again.
Having just used Ring Detonation and the Great Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao was in a weakened state. Faced with the Jadeplume Terrorshroom's attacks, he could only evade, using the Clear Sky Hammer to block what he could not dodge.
Catalyzing Unbridled Stride!
The Jadeplume Terrorshroom charged straight at Tang Hao with tremendous speed. Tang Hao could not dodge at all and could only watch helplessly as it slammed into him.
Pfft! He spat out another mouthful of blood. By now, Tang Hao's injuries had already damaged his foundation.
Tang Hao still tried to get up and flee, but the Jadeplume Terrorshroom's hooked beak pecked directly into his left leg. Its hooked beak was exceptionally hard, snapping Tang Hao's left leg clean off.
"Ah..."
The pain of losing a leg made Tang Hao cry out miserably. Lan Yu did not lower his guard and kept his eyes fixed on Tang Hao.
The Jadeplume Terrorshroom opened its beak again, this time pecking toward Tang Hao's head.
By all rights, Tang Hao should have had no chance of escape, yet Lan Yu had an instinct that Tang Hao would not die so easily.
And that was indeed the case. Just as the Jadeplume Terrorshroom was about to crack Tang Hao's skull open, a blood-red light covered his entire body and carried him away, leaving only a severed leg behind.
Just as expected. Tang Hao is the guardian the Asura God arranged for Tang San. There's no way he'd be allowed to die so easily. Having connections and backing really is nice!
"What do you mean by that? Aren't I your backing too? Am I not powerful enough?"
Bifulong popped out and said indignantly.
"Powerful enough, powerful enough. Then tell me, when will you be able to crush those God Kings of the Douluo World?"
"I don't even know how strong the God Kings you're talking about are. How am I supposed to compare? If they're as powerful as Ahmar..."
Among the Demon Gods of the Sumeru Desert, many called the Scarlet King Ahmar the God King.
Even Bifulong at his peak could not compare to Ahmar.
"Don't worry. The God Kings of the Douluo God Realm are far inferior to Demon Gods on Ahmar's level."
Lan Yu did not continue discussing the matter. Instead, he went to pick up Tang Hao's severed leg.
There was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone here. Lan Yu could not remember whether it was a Clear Sky Sect inherited Soul Bone, but that did not matter. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was precious enough on its own.
Then a rumbling sound came from nearby, and the ground trembled slightly once more.
Soon, the Titan Giant Ape's enormous body appeared not far from Lan Yu. He was observing Lan Yu, while Lan Yu was observing him.
Xiao Wu happily jumped down from the Titan Giant Ape's body and ran over to Lan Yu.
"Lan Yu, where's that bad guy?"
"He left behind a severed leg and ran away."
"Ah! You cut off one of his legs? That's amazing! Then I'm really free now. That's wonderful."
"Yes, you can be considered free now. Before you cultivate to the Maturity Period, it would be best not to leave the Star Dou Great Forest. Or better yet, wait until you have the strength of a Title Douluo before leaving."
"Lan Yu, perhaps you don't understand. If Spirit Beasts that have taken human form do not leave the forest and enter the human world, their cultivation cannot improve."
"You're now a believer of the Sage Lord of Fungi too. Do you think that will still be a problem?"
"Lord Sage really has a way for me to cultivate without leaving the forest?"
"Of course. But first, have your little brother put away his hostility toward me."
"Sorry! Erming, don't scare my friend."
The Titan Giant Ape looked at Xiao Wu, who stood with her hands on her hips, and revealed a wronged expression.
At that moment, Daming the Sky Azure Bull Python also arrived. His enormous bull head was indeed highly distinctive.
"Sister Xiao Wu, you cannot trust humans so easily. Humans have always coveted our Soul Rings and Soul Bones."
"Daming, that's not it. Um... I can't explain it clearly. Just trust me, okay?"
Lan Yu smiled. "There's nothing difficult to explain. I am a sage of the Sage Lord of Fungi, while your Sister Xiao Wu is a believer of the Sage Lord of Fungi.
"Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python, if you are willing, the Sage Lord of Fungi is also willing to accept your faith."
As Lan Yu spoke, mushrooms rapidly sprouted from the surrounding trees and the ground.
"Human, are you saying that there is a god behind you, and that you are expanding that god's faith?
"You want us Spirit Beasts to believe in a human god. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
"Daming, that's not it. The Sage Lord of Fungi isn't human. He's a big mushroom, and he's very cute..."
"Hey! You rabbit, don't use the word 'cute' to describe me. This Sage Lord is majestic and great."
Bifulong appeared and corrected Xiao Wu. Daming and Erming were not part of Bifulong's system, so they could not hear him.
"Sister Xiao Wu?"
"Ah, the Sage Lord of Fungi just spoke to me. Trust me. Would I lie to you?"
"Sister Xiao Wu, it's not that we don't trust you. We're afraid that this human has deceived you.
"Human, if you can let us see the god you speak of, we will believe you. We might even be willing to believe in the god behind you, just like Sister Xiao Wu."
"Good. It's a deal!"
