Chapter 322: Tang San Wants to Run; If He Can't Escape, Then Let's Fight
Having transmigrated here, he brought many cultivation techniques with him; Jerry is also a transmigrator, so he should have them too. That is why he dropped out of school and held the Grandmaster in contempt; that is why he was able to develop Wuhun City so well—all of this comes from the experience of his past life.
Thinking of this, Tang San instantly understood many things. Even before, although he felt Jerry was very intelligent, he thought it was because of the massive backing of the Spirit Hall; now, he suddenly understood.
The Spirit Hall has always been there, and many people have had the backing of the Spirit Hall, but apart from Jerry, no one has been able to achieve what Jerry has.
Whether it is the management system, construction planning, or research and invention, it involves many industries and every aspect; this is not something one person could research, yet Jerry managed to do it.
To be able to do these things, the only explanation is that Jerry is a transmigrator who possesses the experience of a past life; this way, everything makes perfect sense.
Thinking of this, Tang San suddenly found that the Jerry in front of him, wearing a face full of smiles, was so terrifying—no, he should be even more terrifying now.
Why would Jerry tell him his identity? This means he never intended to let him go, which is why he told him everything, so that he could die knowing the truth.
Thinking of this, Tang San could not care about anything else; he instantly released his martial soul and launched an attack toward Jerry.
Seeing Tang San release the Clear Sky Hammer, Jerry realized he was preparing to resist. He chuckled, extended an index finger, and pressed it directly against the Clear Sky Hammer. The moment all the attacks of the Clear Sky Hammer touched Jerry's finger, they vanished completely.
"Tang San, are you in such a hurry? I still have a lot to say!"
Jerry said with a smile, while simultaneously hooking his thumb over his middle finger and flicking it lightly at the Clear Sky Hammer. It was a seemingly gentle flick, but when it made contact with the Clear Sky Hammer, the hammer seemed to turn into sand, instantly disintegrating into powder.
"Pfft!"
With his martial soul shattered, Tang San spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His hands were still trembling slightly; part of the power from the flick had traveled through the martial soul to Tang San's hands, shaking his arms until they were numb.
"The difference in strength is too great. Jerry is too terrifying. I cannot fight him head-on; I must find a way to leave," Tang San thought to himself.
Tang San took a few steps back, then shot straight up into the sky, crashing into the ceiling, and without stopping, he continued to charge upward.
This underground area had a layer of soil above it, and above the soil was a building, but Tang San could not worry about that now. He had to use the fastest method to escape, so Tang San chose to burst out directly from underground. This way, the underground space would inevitably collapse, which could delay Jerry for a moment.
Tang San thought it through well, but just as he was preparing to charge out from where he stood, Jerry had already guessed his intention and used Teleportation to exit through the entrance.
This move by Tang San directly caused a small-scale earthquake. Because the underground collapsed, the building on the surface also collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Having burst out, Tang San used all his soul power and flew toward the outskirts of Wuhun City.
Jerry, who was already outside, saw Tang San preparing to fly out of Wuhun City, which was exactly what he wanted. If they were inside the city, it would be hard to make a move; since Tang San was running out of the city himself, it played right into Jerry's hands.
Jerry was not in a hurry to chase Tang San; after all, no matter how fast Tang San was, he could not run out of the range of his Divine Power.
Tang San ran with all his might, not daring to look back. With Jerry's strength, he should be able to catch up quickly once he regained his focus. In this race against time, Tang San had no time to look back.
After running for several hours, he did not hear any sound behind him. Only then did Tang San look back; Jerry was nowhere to be seen, and he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Tang San looked around; he was in a desolate mountain wilderness. Due to the haste, he had just picked a direction and started running, and now Tang San himself did not know where he was.
Thinking of this, Tang San finally felt at ease. Even he did not know where he had run to, so it was simply impossible for Jerry to chase him. Moreover, Tang San's Spirit Power had been projected outward the whole time, and within the range of his Spirit Power's perception, there was no sign of Jerry.
Finding an open space, Tang San had just prepared to sit down and rest when a familiar voice came.
"Why aren't you running anymore?"
Tang San looked up, and Jerry's figure appeared in the air, looking at him with a smile.
Having caught up so quickly, Tang San no longer thought about how Jerry had managed it and instantly assumed a combat stance.
"Jerry, what exactly do you want? We are both gods; it won't be that easy to kill me."
Tang San stared at Jerry and said viciously.
"Is that so? Then let me try."
The Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, although an object-type martial soul, belongs to the Metal Attribute when categorized by attributes. With a thought of Jerry's Divine Power, the Metal Attribute within the surrounding area instantly departed, and then the gravity of the entire region began to increase.
Setting an array with a single thought—this was also a method Jerry used.
Actually, he could have done it directly using the Rule, but he discovered that Tang San did not know how to apply the Rule, so Jerry prepared to deal with him using a method he could understand.
The gravity of the entire space increased rapidly, instantly doubling. The base gravity of the Douluo Continent is currently one hundred; with the gravity doubled, the gravity within this space reached 200.
Tang San could still withstand 200 times gravity, but the surrounding soil, trees, and grass could not. Trees snapped and collapsed, the grass looked as if it had been crushed, and the soil in the space sank by more than a meter.
Tang San, who was at the center of the space, was still holding on.
"One time isn't enough; add another."
Jerry said from the sky. Tang San could no longer speak at this point, channeling all his soul power to resist the gravity.
"Still holding on? Continue!"
……
The gravity within the space was increased 20 times by the Space Array. According to the base, the gravity of this space was 2000 times.
Under the effect of 2000 times gravity, the collapsed trees were crushed into powder, the collapsed grass looked as if it had been juiced, flowing with much green liquid, and the entire ground was pressed down by more than thirty meters, looking from afar like a giant sinkhole.
Tang San at the bottom of the pit was now trembling in his legs, as if he would fall at any moment. Under this gravity, falling would result in injury.
Tang San was now covered in sweat, gritting his teeth and holding on. Furthermore, he discovered that after his soul power was consumed, he could not replenish it at all, as if half of the soul power between heaven and earth had vanished. Once the soul power in his body was exhausted, he would fall into Jerry's hands without any resistance.
Tang San saw that a Gravity Array had been set up around him by Jerry, so he had been trying to find a way to break the array.
However, at this moment, Tang San finally realized that he had overestimated his own array level and ignored the fact that Jerry was not only a Level 9 Array Master but also the God of Arrays, which had led him into such a predicament.
If he had taken advantage of the low gravity at the beginning to run away, he wouldn't be in this situation where he was pinned down by gravity and unable to move.
But it was too late for regrets now. Tang San's Brain was spinning rapidly, searching for any method that would allow him to escape this area.
Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he could not come up with any solution, and the gravity outside was still increasing, while his soul power consumption was also intensifying. It seemed he would not be able to hold on for much longer.
It seemed there was only this one move left. Tang San struggled to lift his head, used all his strength, and shouted loudly: "Jerry, if you have the ability, fight me fair and square!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Jerry became interested. He would play along with Tang San. Thinking of this, the gravity in the space instantly vanished, and the Metal Attribute soul power between heaven and earth appeared once again.
The gravity vanished instantly. Tang San had not reacted in time; he had been pressed into a half-crouch by the gravity, and after the gravity disappeared, he instantly sprang up.
However, Tang San quickly began to control his body, allowing himself to land steadily outside the pit.
At this moment, Jerry was still looking at him with a smile.
"I'll give you time to recover; let me see just how powerful you really are!"
After Jerry finished speaking, Tang San sat cross-legged to begin his recovery. He had also figured it out now: escape was simply impossible, so he would fight Jerry to the death.
Moreover, Tang San also thought about the upcoming battle; he would try to use his ultimate moves to create a large disturbance. When his companions from the Spirit Hall saw it, they would come to support him. Even if they couldn't beat Jerry, it would be possible for several god-level powerhouses to escape together.
Doing this was also equivalent to notifying Oscar and the others that he had been exposed, and that Oscar and Ma Hongjun had also been exposed. He had intended to notify them when he was running away earlier, but he never had the time. He would attract them over during the battle, and then everyone could escape together.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone; thinking of this, Tang San began to work hard on his Recovery.
He was not afraid of Jerry, who was opposite him, launching a sneak attack; the battle later was something he had provoked Jerry into, and if Jerry had wanted to capture him, he would have long since lost the ability to fight back, so he was not worried about a sneak attack at all.
Jerry watched as Tang San below was recovering a bit slowly, and with a wave of his hand, the Metal Attribute soul power between heaven and earth instantly surged toward Tang San.
Tang San suddenly felt that the soul power between heaven and earth had increased; although he did not know what was going on, this was a good thing, as it meant he could recover faster.
Two hours passed, and Tang San had fully recovered; even Tang San himself found it a bit strange, as previously, with his martial soul fractured, it would have been difficult to recover without several months of time, so he wondered why this recovery was so fast.
This was all because Jerry felt Tang San was recovering too slowly and had taken action, using Wood Attribute soul power and light attribute soul power to help Tang San recover, which was why Tang San could recover so quickly.
"Tang San, since you have recovered, let's begin; let me see what skills you actually have."
Hearing Jerry's words, Tang San instantly released his martial soul and Spirit Rings, and at the same time, Tang San slowly ascended into the air until he was at the same height as Jerry.
"Jerry, since you want to see so much, then I will let you see!"
"Seventh soul skill, Tool Spirit Avatar!"
Then, one could see Tang San's Spirit Rings flashing one after another, and a huge phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer appeared behind Tang San.
This huge phantom was amplified by Tang San's other soul skills; he had not expected that Tang San would also follow the Clear Sky Sect's method of adding Spirit Rings, choosing only amplification Spirit Rings.
After the huge phantom appeared, it did not immediately attack, but instead swung in the air.
"Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!"
Jerry recognized the skill Tang San was using, but he did not stop him; Jerry also wanted to see the power of it stacked up to eighty-one hammers.
Tang San saw that Jerry did not stop him from stacking the hammer technique and felt a little bit lucky; the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique feared being interrupted the most, as that would prevent it from unleashing its full power.
Since Jerry was not stopping him at this moment, was it because he did not know the power of the Clear Sky Sect's hammer technique?
If that was the case, Jerry, just wait to regret it!
Without Jerry's obstruction, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique successfully stacked up to eighty-one hammers.
"Hahaha, Jerry, take my hammer, Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique."
The huge Clear Sky Hammer in the sky reached its maximum power when stacked to eighty-one hammers, and the full-power Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique hammered directly toward Jerry.
Seeing the huge Clear Sky Hammer coming, Jerry did not panic; with a wave of his hand, a large sword wreathed in Fire Attribute appeared in his hand.
Flame Sword!
However, Jerry had added some changes, though the foundation was still designed according to the Flame Sword.
The reason he took out this sword was, of course, not to look cool; there was also the aspect of the Five Elements restraining each other, as Fire Attribute overcomes Metal Attribute.
Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer was of the Metal Attribute, and this attacking phantom was composed entirely of Metal Attribute soul power, so Jerry took out this sword of the Fire Attribute, which was also specially designed and entirely converted from Fire Attribute energy, capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures.
The temperature of the flames on it alone could melt any known metal in the Douluo World.
Jerry held the Flame Sword and injected Fire Attribute soul power; the flames on the Flame Sword instantly rose a bit, and the temperature also increased significantly.
He swung it at the Clear Sky Hammer smashing toward him, and a crescent-shaped flame instantly flew out, colliding directly with the Clear Sky Hammer.
Boom!
A huge sound spread in all directions, and many trees were shattered directly by the shock of this sound.
The moment the sound of the collision rang out, many flames flew out, instantly igniting the entire earth, and even the clouds in the sky were burned to a fiery red.
The crescent-shaped flame ultimately succeeded in blocking the full-power Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, though it was also shattered by the Clear Sky Hammer and fell apart.
Seeing the scattered flames, Jerry waved his hand, and these flames instantly extinguished.
The full-power Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was nothing more than this; his casual attack could withstand it.
Jerry thought this way, but Tang San did not; he felt the power of Jerry's previous attack and did not think at all that Jerry had only used a casual strike; instead, he felt that Jerry had used his full strength to block his attack.
The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was not his ultimate move; he had even more powerful ones.
Tang San reached out, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand; then, Tang San moved directly toward Jerry.
When he was still some distance away from Jerry, Tang San shouted loudly, "Jerry, your flaw has already been found by me; you have always relied on long-range attacks, so close combat is your flaw; let you taste our Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Jerry felt a moment of awkwardness; where did you see that my weakness is close combat?
To deal with you, it is a matter that can be settled with a thought of divine sense; is there any need for me to engage in close combat?
Is there a need?
