We bear people have power

Nezha ran away without any loyalty, and also took Lingxiu and Gongsun Jing with him, leaving Guan Bo alone to face the Giant Spirit God.

There was a hostage nearby, but seeing how this great man berated him like a stray dog, it was clear that threatening him with a life was impossible.

The Giant Spirit God looked at Guan Bo. Although he didn't possess the abilities of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he could still discern Guan Bo's cultivation level upon first glance. Unless a monster possessed extraordinary talent like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, even several of them wouldn't be a match for the Giant Spirit God.

With this thought in mind, the Giant Spirit God drifted down to the ground without a care. He intended to capture this little demon alive, then torture him for days and nights, letting him know that divine treasures were not so easy to steal.

Guan Bo's first reaction was to channel all his demonic power into his robe, maximizing his defensive capabilities. Then he prepared his Wind-Riding Technique, ready to flee at any moment.

But when he saw the deity casually reach out and try to grab him, Guan Bo became furious. Although he was just a newly transformed demon, the Great Sage would still use his golden cudgel to fight him.

Who is this scoundrel, acting like I'm some kind of kitten or puppy, reaching out to grab me? Judging from that disdainful look, does it really think it can catch me with one hand?

Rising with anger, Guan Bo decided to give this guy a good beating first.

A golden light shone from his innate divine power, enveloping the giant spirit god in a halo. Guan Bo resorted to his old trick, taking out a sewing needle and pricking it into his finger. But as soon as the golden needle pierced his flesh, Guan Bo felt a sharp pain.

This innate divine ability failed to transmit the pain? Or rather, this deity is immune to the innate divine ability of Guan Bo?

At this moment, Nezha's voice rang in Guan Bo's ears. He said to Guan Bo, "Foolish panda, he walks the path of the gods. When he descended to the mortal world, he used a golden body formed by incense. How could he feel pain?"

Holy crap, how was I supposed to know this was a Buddhist statue if you hadn't told me?!

Guan Bo really wanted to grab Nezha and spray him in the face, but who knew that this golden, glittering deity wasn't the real Nezha?

In that brief moment of delay, the giant spirit's massive hand was already reaching for Guan Bo's head. At this time, Guan Bo was still in human form, while the giant spirit's golden statue was nearly ten zhang tall, majestic and imposing, its giant hand descending like the five fingers of Buddha.

Guan Bo had no choice but to reveal his true form.

The panda's true form, as large as a small mountain, appeared and blocked the enormous hand. As its size increased, it even forced the giant spirit god back half a step.

"Don't think that just because you're big and strong, the Bearmen are fearless!" Guan Bo shouted a slogan that only he could understand, and raised his bear paw to slap the Giant Spirit God.

At this moment, Guan Bo was several times larger than the Giant Spirit God, and the situation was reversed, with the Giant Spirit God instantly becoming the same character Guan Bo had been.

However, this celestial deity is a warrior. Don't be fooled by the fact that he couldn't even withstand two rounds from the Monkey King. He was also a fierce general during the time of Yu the Great's flood control efforts, capable of moving mountains, filling seas, and taming ferocious beasts.

Seeing Guan Bo's bear paw coming at him, the Giant Spirit God showed disdain and threw a punch in return, wanting to clash head-on with Guan Bo.

Guan Bo and the Giant Spirit God's fist and palm collided, producing a deafening roar. The resulting hurricane alone knocked down a small patch of trees on Black Wind Mountain.

Guan Bo felt an immense force surge through him, which he couldn't withstand at all. He staggered back several steps, leaving several huge panda footprints on Black Wind Mountain. His paws went numb, and he couldn't even lift them for a short time.

"What, you're already done for before I've even used my full strength?" the Giant Spirit God mocked.

Guan Bo completely ignored the mockery, but he was also anxious. This guy was much stronger than him, and he couldn't use the magic weapon he had just acquired. He didn't know how to deal with this hairy god.

Guan Bo deeply missed the days when Gongsun Jing was around. He would take charge of defense and containment, while Gongsun Jing would use her flying sword to kill enemies; their teamwork was flawless. Now that Guan Bo was all alone, his lack of offensive options became glaringly obvious.

The Giant Spirit had no patience to let Guan Bo come up with a plan. Knowing he was stronger than Guan Bo, he didn't hold back. With a flash of golden light, a large axe appeared in his hand, which he brought down on Guan Bo's head.

"Despicable! They actually used a weapon!" Guan Bo quickly rolled away to dodge and then shouted loudly.

"Haha, you can use your sewing needle too! Weren't you having a good time pricking yourself just now? I've seen countless battles, but this is the first time I've ever seen an enemy mutilate themselves. Try pricking me again. If you please me, I might take you as my mount and spare your life," the Giant Spirit God said smugly.

"Pah! Bearmen will never be slaves! And if I let you, that fat, shut-in-the-house type, ride on me, I'll be infected by your stupidity in no time," Guan Bo shouted.

Although the Giant Spirit God couldn't understand the meaning of these words, he could understand the words "obese and stupid".

"You audacious monster, how dare you insult this god! I'll see if your head is harder than your mouth!" The Giant Spirit God roared in anger, raising his Xuanhua Axe once more to strike Guan Bo.

This time, Guan Bo neither dodged nor evaded, but simply used his shoulder to withstand the axe blow. Guan Bo thought to himself, even the Great Sage's staff couldn't break through his defenses in one strike, this must be some kind of freakish deity, surely not stronger than the Great Sage.

This time, Guan Bo made the right bet.

The Xuanhua Great Axe landed on Guan Bo's shoulder, bursting into a dazzling golden light, but that was about it. The immense force was mostly blocked by Guan Bo's fur, and he simply brute-forced the remaining bit of power.

The giant spirit was not small, and was actually forced back two steps by Guan Bo's attack. Immediately afterwards, Guan Bo pressed his advantage, repeatedly slapping the giant spirit's body with his bear paws.

This time, the attack and defense were combined, and the move was incredibly swift. However, the Giant Spirit God's combat experience was not to be underestimated. Guan Bo only had time to slap him twice in the face before the Giant Spirit God swung his axe and sent him flying.

It was a simple sweep of an army, yet its power could split mountains and cleave rocks. After being knocked away, Guan Bo did not fight back tenaciously. Instead, he used his four paws to create wind and ran away in a flash. He had no recollection of who had just shouted, "The bear-man is fearless."

He wasn't a martial arts fanatic. Knowing he couldn't win, not running away would be asking for trouble. Although he was tough, he could only withstand a hundred or so axe blows, not necessarily a thousand or more. Besides himself, there were only mortals on Black Wind Mountain. This Mao God was probably a god after all, and he certainly wouldn't slaughter mortals. If he didn't run away, he'd be a fool.

But after flying only a few feet away, Nezha's voice rang out again: "Why are you running? How can you keep this treasure if you don't beat him?"

"I can't beat him at all, okay? Do you really think my Tathagata Bear Paw is invincible? I just slapped it right in his face, and it didn't even leave a scratch!"

After learning his innate supernatural power, Guan Bo also mastered the magic of telepathy without a teacher. Although he didn't know where Nezha was, he was still able to convey his meaning through that voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. Listen to me, and I guarantee you'll win!" Nezha's tone was full of confidence.
