Chapter 102: Entangled Combat

After Bai Lang rushed out, he turned back and saw that the toad's wound was healing extremely quickly. "Is the damage I gave from grandpa not enough?" Bai Lang didn't care either way, after all he still had plenty of time. After the toad let out a croak, it directly opened its mouth wide and spewed out a light pillar formed from demonic qi. Bai Lang directly did a donkey roll... He directly faced this light cannon head-on, which is absolutely not something a normal person should do, even if he positions himself as a MT.

Moreover, the light cannon is poisonous—haven't you seen the city wall all rotted? It's hot and toxic; only an idiot would face it head-on. "I practice the Golden Bell Shield, not the Thorny Halo; even the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield doesn't have this kind of rebound ability." Bai Lang thought to himself. Long-range attacks really can't be reflected; beyond a certain distance you have no choice but to block. The toad's skin lumps are at least the size of a grinding wheel, though they're not slick—rather, they're quite dry. But they are extremely tough.

Furthermore, the flesh beneath the skin felt, after Bai Lang punched it, like hitting old cowhide; even if his fist went all the way to the shoulder, it still seemed painless and itchless to the toad's size. What's most hateful is that the demonic qi on the toad's body can even block the corrosive effect of his Golden Bell Shield's internal force; Tiger Claw can't tear through cowhide, and the internal force of the Golden Bell Shield can't penetrate the monster's meridians.

"Then it can only be used as an amplifier for external martial arts." Bai Lang felt he could only smash with the Golden Bell Shield and Tiger Claw, trading area for damage. As the main tank, Bai Lang also had to draw the toad's main attention so that Mu Ronghua and Qin Lianer could unleash their full output—mainly Qin Lianer.

Mu Ronghua, that good-for-nothing, just like Bai Lang, finds his weapon hard to use against this poisonous toad; he can only repeatedly attract the toad's attention with brilliant sword light like meteors, providing cover for Qin Lianer's output. Bai Lang resists Mu Ronghua's cover; the real output is Qin Lianer. Qin Lianer's offensive martial arts skill is inferior to Bai Lang's and Mu Ronghua's; her swordsmanship is not as good as Mu Ronghua's, her internal force not as strong as Bai Lang's, but as a member of the Medicine King Valley, she is naturally the nemesis of such poisonous monsters.

She combined her medicine powder and ointment, and under Qin Lianer's internal force control they formed a short sword; this short sword inflicted damage on the poisonous toad far greater than its appearance would suggest. Anyway, a single slash on the toad's skin would split open a large strip, deep and even festering. The toad's recovery is extremely slow, so Bai Lang took the opportunity to viciously strike those spots, causing pus and blood to fly everywhere, and he even ruined his own set of clothes.

The toad's strength is great, but after a few attempts Bai Lang felt he could withstand it; the Golden Bell Shield's technique truly counts as a divine skill in frontal combat. When the toad strikes Bai Lang with its developed forearms, the recoil force is enough to make the monster unwilling to try more. As for inhaling and swallowing Bai Lang? The mouth that just sprayed blood has already proven that impossible. Meanwhile Bai Lang turns himself into a copper bell, repeatedly striking the toad; even if the toad tries to shift its attack target to others, Bai Lang will proactively rush forward to block.

Bai Lang doesn't block the light cannon, but the other two are also very cunning; they never expose themselves in the toad's front hemisphere—under Bai Lang's cover, they always attack from the rear hemisphere. The toad is huge in size, and it commands many demonic beasts, but Qin Lianer is a large-scale lethal weapon; the medicine powder and ointment she scatters, even their scent, make those beasts feel intense disgust and even poison them. Moreover, the toad itself often lets out a 'puff' of toxic mist from its lumps, killing several of its minions, so those demonic beasts simply gave up and went off to make soy sauce.

Bai Lang held the anti-poison pill Qin Lianer gave him in his mouth, and he himself fiercely struck the giant toad. Previously there were demonic beasts that came to help, but those beasts were truly far less resistant to blows than the toad; Bai Lang easily crushed them. Not only did he crush them, they could also become Bai Lang's assistants. For example, a monster with a tiger's head, a pig's body, and a snake's tail—this guy is about the size of a small car, but after Bai Lang dodged a strike from the toad's forelimb, he turned and slapped the creature that had pounced on him, which had been dazed by the recoil of the Golden Bell Shield's internal force, right on its skull......

This directly shattered the skull and sprayed brain matter, but before it could die—such demonic beasts have tenacious vitality; smashing the skull and causing brain fluid to flow out doesn't necessarily mean certain death. However, Bai Lang seized the opportunity to grab the skin at the back of its neck—basically a death sentence. Because Bai Lang directly exerted force, treating this monster weighing at least over half a ton as a cannonball, he hurled it straight at the toad. And the toad lived up to expectations, taking the cannonball hit squarely, its body recoiling several steps, causing the ground to tremble.

To vent its anger, the toad swallowed the 'cannonball' whole. "Got it! Qin Lianer, what do you have that's suitable?" Taking advantage of a cover move, Bai Lang quietly told Mu Ronghua, who then relayed it to Qin Lianer. Next, Bai Lang received a fist-sized pill. "I feel that although this toad has thick skin and flesh and can even speak human words, why is it so stupid? Its temperament is also violent!"

After fighting for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, don't look at the toad being sliced by Qin Lianer all over with festering wounds; yet the monster's vital energy remains abundant, and besides Bai Lang, no one else dares to directly take its attacks—even Bai Lang must be careful not to be hit by the light cannon. Now that we have the pill, we need to find some meat—those damned demonic beasts have gone off to make soy sauce, so Bai Lang can only obtain meat by gradually luring the toad over.

This is difficult; the demonic beasts have already developed some intelligence, so they can't be called completely stupid—and even as wild animals, seeking profit and avoiding harm is their natural instinct; they know this giant toad is now fighting frenziedly, ignoring kin, who would willingly jump into the battlefield just to get killed? —several have already died up front. Bai Lang didn't care either, "It's not like only oral intake works!" This guy completely threw caution to the wind, and directly clawed viciously at a wound on the toad's back.

"If I can't ruin your skin, I can at least tear the meat!" Tiger Claw didn't mind the toad's outflowing toxic, corrosive blood and pus; it directly ripped with both claws, even hard-blocking the toad's forelimb strike—just like a hammer driving a nail, allowing Bai Lang to create deeper, larger wounds. Then Bai Lang proceeded to toss the pill into the wound. "No way!" Qin Lianer shouted from there.

"What? No way?" Bai Lang exerted force to shake open the toad's forelimb, "It'll explode!" Qin Lianer shouted.

"What? It'll explode?" Bai Lang glared; the temperature at the toad's wound spot rose rapidly, and it also glowed reddish and bright......
