At this moment, everyone in the Group Chat was completely stunned. Good heavens! As they thought about the situation, they found it quite amusing.
Given Su Yan's personality and his previous discussions in the Group Chat about how to deal with the Clear Sky Hammer and the Ring Explosion technique, they realized Su Yan really might have run away if the situation were different.
If Su Yan had run away, wouldn't Tang Hao become a total clown? Imagine using your very life to unleash an ultimate move only to have that move miss completely because your opponent left.
Yanzi is not a Swallow posted: Hahaha!! Su Yan, this is so fun! Did you see that? Hurry up and force Tang Hao to explode all nine rings so he misses his ultimate move!
Group Member Number Nine added: I am seriously going to die laughing.
Loves Eating Carrots joined in: Hahaha!!
Ah Yin wrote: Su Yan, do it quickly! Just like that, make Tang Hao so angry that he dies. Leave him unable to rest in peace.
I Am a Little Bird warned: You two should stop celebrating for now and hurry up and run away!
Loves Eating Carrots replied with several question marks. Xiao Wu and Ah Yin were visibly stunned for a second, but they reacted almost immediately.
Xiao Wu shouted to the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, hurry up! Let's run! We need to leave at maximum speed. The farther away we get from them, the better it will be for us.
The Titan Giant Ape was confused when he first heard Xiao Wu's words, but then he seemed to realize something important. He figured these two humans were probably about to fight to the death. He replied that Sister Xiao Wu was still the smartest. The Titan Giant Ape moved instantly, accelerating with all his might to escape the area. Ling Yuan also took the chance to flee quickly at that moment.
Liu Erlong posted: I am seriously going to die laughing. Little Bird, you are truly cunning!
Bibi Dong advised: Run far away first, then hide your aura and conceal yourselves.
Bo Saixi commented: You people are truly too wicked. According to what Su Yan said before, if Tang Hao explodes nine rings, he will likely die. A Titled Douluo would be exchanging his life for a single strike, yet you want him to miss his ultimate move?
At Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was feeling both amused and helpless. Although she felt this way, she couldn't help but think this group of people was truly unscrupulous.
Meanwhile, in the era of Soul Land 2 at Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao was incredibly curious. She wondered about exploding all nine rings and exchanging a life for one strike. She still hoped to see the two of them unleash a powerful spirit ability. After all, both sides were purely clashing with raw strength, and it was difficult to gauge their true power just from watching the video. It was estimated that only a few people in the Group Chat, like Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong, could really discern the tricks being used.
Su Yan posted: It does not matter. Below the level of the gods, I am invincible. Above the level of the gods, I trade one for one.
Everyone in the chat replied with question marks.
Tang Hao was now trapped in a desperate situation. Even after unleashing the complete Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, he was still beaten half to death by Su Yan. He was truly furious and felt a deep sense of despair. Today was a scenario of nine deaths and only one life. Tang Hao regretted in his heart that he had not killed Su Yan much earlier. But who could have imagined that a youth of this age could grow to such an extent in just a few short days?
He wondered if Su Yan was the reincarnation of a divinity. Tang Hao now felt that this was the only logical explanation. If that were the case, then the steps he had taken had only narrowed his own path. But he had no other choice.
There were only two paths before him now. He could fight desperately to trade his life for Su Yan's life, which would eliminate the threat for the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San. But could he actually kill Su Yan? To be honest, Tang Hao no longer had any confidence in his ability to do so.
The other path was to escape. He realized his true identity had not been exposed yet. If his appearance was revealed, Tang San would certainly suffer from the backlash and die. Since that was the case, Tang Hao hardened his heart. He slowly flew from the ground into the air. His surrounding spirit rings began to rise above his head one by one.
Seeing this scene, Su Yan silently counted them. He saw one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. He wondered why one was missing.
Tang Hao roared in fury that he would explode eight rings! The eight spirit rings above his head instantly exploded. A terrifying amount of spirit power began surging into his body.
Su Yan said he was slightly annoyed. He asked Tang Hao if he was still harboring wishful thinking at a time like this.
Tang Hao said grimly that he would let Su Yan witness the true power of the Clear Sky Hammer.
However, when Su Yan saw that Tang Hao only exploded eight rings, he did not plan on using his own ultimate move. He felt that Tang Hao exploding only eight rings was not worthy of it. Just as he was preparing to gather his strength and clash with Tang Hao, the man simply ran away. That is right! Tang Hao directly fled the scene.
After all eight rings exploded and the spirit power surged into his body, Tang Hao's feet seemed to be equipped with rocket boosters. He instantly transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.
Su Yan was left with question marks. The Little Monkey was also bewildered. He looked at Su Yan and blinked, seeming to convey that the man was messing with him. Su Yan was completely dumbfounded. He had thought Tang Hao was wicked and ruthless, but he truly had not expected Tang Hao to run away like that. He especially didn't expect him to explode eight rings just to escape. He wondered if the Ring Explosion technique was even supposed to be used in that way.
I Am a Little Bird posted: After exploding eight rings, Tang Hao probably... wait, what?
Loves Eating Carrots wrote: No way?
Ah Yin posted: Tang Hao is such a bastard!
Everyone in the chat was confused.
Bibi Dong asked: Tell us quickly! Does Tang Hao have a trump card that Su Yan does not know about?
Bo Saixi asked: Could it be that Su Yan brought out a trump card?
Liu Erlong shouted: Hurry up and tell us!
I Am a Little Bird posted a video that was one minute and thirty-two seconds long. Everyone in the Group Chat was full of curiosity and clicked on it to watch. In the video, the heavily injured Tang Hao slowly rose into the air.
He looked like he was about to fight desperately. The spirit rings rose above his head one by one until there were eight rings. Then came the Ring Explosion! Just as they realized the progress bar of the video seemed wrong, Tang Hao vanished in a flash.
He actually ran away! At this moment, everyone felt as if a flock of crows was flying over their heads.
Yanzi is not a Swallow asked: Is it what I think it is?
Nine Treasures Little Princess added: No way!
Liu Erlong said: That scoundrel Tang Hao! Is he a rat?
Bai Chenxiang commented: That is actually pretty awesome.
Ma Xiaotao posted: Hahaha!! I bet Su Yan's expression right now is hilarious!
Bibi Dong wrote: This was a miscalculation. With eight rings exploding at the same time and spirit power erupting, even I could not catch him.
Bo Saixi asked: How did he manage to run away?
I Am an Orphan asked: Wait, how was he able to escape?
Cat in the Shadows explained: It seems we all fell into a misconception. Why should Tang Hao fight Su Yan desperately? Why would he use his life to explode nine rings and choose mutual destruction?
Group Member Number Nine said: There really seems to be no reason for him to trade his life.
Liu Erlong added: Tang Hao wanted to kill Su Yan because Su Yan's talent was too great. Actually, there is no real grudge between them yet.
Bai Chenxiang noted: If you put it that way, it would be strange if Tang Hao did not run.
Hu Liena complained: I have not seen a cool scene from Su Yan yet. Why is Tang Hao so useless?
Ma Xiaotao laughed: Hahaha!! I am seriously going to die laughing. The Clear Sky Douluo truly lives up to his reputation. He managed to misguide all of you at once.
Tang Yuehua explained: In Tang Hao's eyes, Su Yan merely has good talent and strong power. Not only do they not have hatred, but they both come from Saint Spirit Village. I think if Su Yan had not shown strength that made him wary, Tang Hao would never have attacked him. The two sides had no enmity to begin with.
Therefore, Tang Hao's final choice to flee instead of trading his life is a very reasonable and normal action. It is just that everyone heard Su Yan talk about Tang Hao and developed hatred toward him. You mistakenly believed the two sides were enemies. In reality, aside from Spirit Hall, others are not enemies in Tang Hao's eyes.
Nine Treasures Little Princess said: To put it bluntly, maybe he is just afraid of death.
Bibi Dong agreed: Now that you mention it, I understand. Considering how Tang Hao did not dare to stand up for the Clear Sky Sect before, this guy is naturally afraid of death.
Ah Yin posted: I am seriously going to be so angry!
I Am a Little Bird said: Don't be angry. Tang Hao was already heavily injured by Su Yan. After exploding eight rings in that state, even if he ran, he will be half-crippled. I am seriously going to be so angry!
Loves Eating Carrots asked: What are you angry about now?
I Am a Little Bird replied: My greatest merit is gone.
Ma Xiaotao said: This is truly too fun. You old guys are getting more and more interesting. Just now you wanted Su Yan to run away and trick Tang Hao, but now all of you have been tricked by Tang Hao running away. Hahaha!!
Bibi Dong asked: Su Yan, you are still here, right?
Loves Eating Carrots posted an image of Su Yan and the Little Monkey scratching their heads awkwardly.
Bibi Dong said: It is good that you are here. Wait just a moment longer. I have a very important matter to discuss with you.
Everyone in the chat was curious.
Su Yan said: Just say it!
