Chapter 48: Xiao Wu Rescued, Su Yun Awakens
Boom!
The night sky in the Star Dou Great Forest was no longer calm. The terrifying fluctuations intimidated the weaker soul beasts around the forest periphery, making them retreat into their nests, afraid to show themselves, fearing the impact of this terrifying pressure.
Only deep in the forest, some soul beasts that had reached the ten-thousand-year level dared to hide in the shadows, peeking at the two human Title Douluo who were mercilessly attacking each other in the sky, causing intense collisions of martial souls.
Tang Hao's martial soul, the renowned Clear Sky Hammer, was indeed the number one tool martial soul in the world. Coupled with Tang Hao's pure strength-oriented Clear Sky Hammer, his Martial Soul True Body, empowered by a full-force strike, was like a divine hammer.
Yue Guan's Martial Soul True Body was transformed from his plant-type martial soul, the Immortal Grass Martial Soul Chrysanthemum. It could be considered to have a hint of indestructibility, but facing Tang Hao's ruthless attacks, even Yue Guan's defense could only persist for a few minutes.
Under Tang Hao's unreasonable strength and domineering soul power, Yue Guan, carrying the unconscious Xiao Wu and Su Yun, was forcefully pushed back thousands of meters.
"Bang!"
With a thunderous roar, Yue Guan's Martial Soul True Body collapsed and shattered.
"Puff—"
Without the protection of the Martial Soul True Body, Yue Guan was affected by Tang Hao's astonishing force, and his body was sent flying again.
At the same time, he felt a sweet taste in his throat, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and a nauseating rust smell filled his mouth.
Before Yue Guan could react, the shadow of Tang Hao, who had been in front of him, suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Tang Hao had appeared behind Yue Guan, and at the same time, a faint laughter echoed, "I'll take this hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
"Boom!"
Tang Hao snatched Xiao Wu from Yue Guan's hand with one hand. At the same time, he punched Yue Guan's back. Fortunately, Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul True Body, appeared in time, blocking the punch, avoiding Yue Guan from being severely injured.
However, even with the protection of the Martial Soul, Yue Guan was still not lightly injured. He was once again sent flying hundreds of meters and came to a stop in mid-air, hunched over, panting continuously.
"Damn it! This Tang Hao, disappeared for seven years, and his soul power not only hasn't diminished but has increased. Didn't they say he was treated like a dog, running around in circles by the Spirit Hall? How can he still be so lively?" Yue Guan covered his chest, speculating about Tang Hao, but suddenly his gaze fell on Su Yun.
No, Tang Hao clearly had the opportunity to rescue his son just now. Why did he choose to take down the ten-thousand-year soul beast from his own hands?
"Tang Hao! Are you willing to sacrifice your son for a ten-thousand-year soul beast?!" Yue Guan "reprimanded."
"If I save my 'son,' your Martial Soul Hall will probably spare no effort to hunt us down," Tang Hao sneered. Holding Xiao Wu, he continued, "Compared to my son, I believe your Martial Soul Hall desires this ten-thousand-year soul beast more, right?"
Tang Hao's words were not wrong.
Given a hundred chances to choose between Tang Hao's son and the ten-thousand-year soul beast's spirit ring and soul bone, Martial Soul Hall would undoubtedly choose the latter a hundred times.
So, Tang Hao deliberately spoke those words earlier, expressing his "affection" for Su Yun, but in reality, he seized the opportunity to snatch Xiao Wu, this ten-thousand-year soul beast.
"You and I exchange, I return your son, and you give me that little girl. I can request from the Pope to pardon you and agree to let your Clear Sky Clan re-emerge," Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, Yue Guan, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
"We are both Title Douluo. If we really fight to the death, it will inevitably attract the attention of other soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"So now I give you two choices."
Tang Hao raised two fingers, "First, you take my 'son' and leave, take good care of him. When my 'son' grows up to become a Title Douluo, I will personally return the little girl to you."
"Second, I personally send you away and, by the way, snatch back my 'son.'"
Tang Hao's first condition was clearly intentional.
Waiting for his "son" to grow up to become a Title Douluo? That would take who knows how many years.
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Yue Guan's face became even colder. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill your son?"
"Hehe, if you kill my 'son,' do you think you can still get the hundred-thousand-year soul beast?" Tang Hao sneered.
With that, Tang Hao turned and walked towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
While Yue Guan watched Tang Hao's departing figure, he hesitated to make a move.
He thought it through clearly; Tang Hao was already a Title Douluo. If he killed the little girl now, the hundred-thousand-year soul ring on her body would undoubtedly be wasted. Tang Hao would never do such a senseless thing.
Presumably, he wanted to leave the soul beast for his son Su Yun.
Thinking about it, Yue Guan planned that after returning, he would first confine Su Yun and then have the Pope send people to hunt down Tang Hao.
This was currently the safest decision.
Just as Yue Guan was about to retreat to return to the Martial Soul Hall, a figure suddenly flew out from beside him. In an instant, this figure crashed through several towering trees in the Star Dou Great Forest, breaking dozens of them at the waist, before finally coming to a stop.
"Tang Hao?!"
Although it was only a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo still clearly saw the face of that figure!
What happened?!
"Human, this is not where you should be. Leave this place!"
Just as Yue Guan was puzzled, behind him, a huge shadow instantly appeared, as if covering the sky and blocking the brilliance of the moon and stars. The light from the moon and stars was all obscured by it.
Yue Guan turned around and saw a Titan Giant Ape, which could speak like a human. On its colossal fist, there was a trace of blood, giving it a fierce and ruthless appearance!
However, the owner of the voice was not the Titan Giant Ape.
Suddenly, behind the Titan Giant Ape, Yue Guan could see what seemed to be an enormous and extremely weird bullhead crouching on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
The two eyes of the bullhead were emitting endless fierceness, and it had a dual head, looking extremely eerie!
And at the top of the bullhead's head, Xiao Wu, who had been snatched away by Tang Hao, appeared.
"Human, today, I'll spare your life. Leave this place, or there will be no mercy!"
The bullhead spoke, making Yue Guan's eyes shrink. The owner of the voice just now was this bullhead.
"Speaking human language! A hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
"This hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape sensed the girl's aura, so it came to save her!"
Yue Guan's expression changed. Without any hesitation, he quickly grabbed the unconscious Su Yun and retreated!
While Yue Guan was retreating, he also saw Tang Hao's figure stumbling to his feet from the ground.
He gave a fierce glare in the direction of the Titan Giant Ape, then covered his chest and ran in another direction.
Sensing Tang Hao's abnormal weakness in front, Yue Guan finally reacted. Tang Hao's injuries hadn't fully healed.
In the battle just now, he completely relied on suppressing himself forcibly with a breath.
Watching Tang Hao's back, Yue Guan's mouth revealed a cold smile. He estimated that Tang Hao didn't expect that a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape would be waiting for him in the depths of the forest, giving him an unexpected heavy blow.
However, at this moment, Yue Guan was not in a hurry to track down Tang Hao. After all, a cornered dog would jump over the wall.
If he forced Tang Hao too much here, he might retaliate directly, mutually ensuring destruction. That wouldn't be worth it.
Moreover, the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape hadn't moved too far away. If he and Tang Hao fought fiercely here, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Titan Giant Ape.
"Let's bring this kid back first."
"Without the hundred-thousand-year soul beast and his son in my hands, I don't believe Tang Hao won't come to my Martial Soul Hall!" Yue Guan looked at Su Yun in his hands, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Enduring the injuries in his body, he flew towards the direction of the Martial Soul Hall at full speed.
...
Su Yun was not clear about how long he had been in a coma.
When he became conscious, he abruptly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a strange bedroom.
The surroundings of the bedroom were very simple, almost giving Su Yun the feeling of crossing again.
But before Su Yun could think too much, he suddenly remembered that before he fell unconscious, Xiao Wu had also fallen into the hands of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
He immediately called out in his mind, "Sister Yin, are you there? Do you know where Xiao Wu is now that she's been captured by Chrysanthemum Douluo?"
