"Serpentine Emerald Scale Avatar." Facing the overwhelming attacks, Dugu Bo remained unfazed. His seventh soul ring flashed, and a giant snake over thirty meters long instantly appeared behind him.
"Serpentine Emerald Scale Dark Water."
Seeing the attacks about to reach him, the giant snake suddenly spat out a jet of pitch-black water. With a swing of its head, it swept away all the incoming petal blades, then continued towards Chrysanthemum Douluo with undiminished force.
After consuming the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Pill, Dugu Bo underwent two changes: one was the black water formed by the fusion of Jade Phosphor Serpent venom and water attributes, and the other was his hardened physical body.
Compared to the original poison mist, the black water was easier to control and more stable. Moreover, when fighting in water, Dugu Bo's strength would increase by two levels.
"What's going on?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression suddenly changed. He had fought Dugu Bo many times and was very familiar with his abilities, but this sudden black water was something he had never seen before.
Knowing the terrifying nature of the Jade Phosphor Serpent venom, even if the poison mist had changed form, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't dare to confront it directly. He quickly dodged backward.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo laughed heartily, the hidden frustration in his heart dissipating somewhat: "Little chrysanthemum, where's that ability you showed earlier?"
"Old bastard!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was infuriated by these words, his teeth grinding audibly. Knowing that dodging like this wouldn't work, he surged his soul power, and his eighth soul ring flashed beneath his feet. Suddenly, large chrysanthemums materialized in the air.
These chrysanthemums shone with dazzling golden light, making it difficult to see clearly in the sky. Then, beams of energy shot out from the centers of the flowers, aiming directly at Dugu Bo.
Unlike when capturing Tai Tan of the Strength Clan, Chrysanthemum Douluo was now unleashing his full power.
"Time Freeze." Although Dugu Bo had been mocking him, he wasn't careless. Faced with the overwhelming energy beams, his eighth soul ring lit up beneath his feet. The surrounding space instantly solidified, even the originally dazzling golden light beams became like pillars, clearly visible.
However, this move couldn't restrain the enemy for long. Seizing this opportunity, Dugu Bo's ninth soul ring lit up, and two jet-black light beams shot out from the Serpentine Emerald Scale Snake's eyes: "Serpentine Emerald Scale Divine Light."
Seeing the attack coming, the restrained Chrysanthemum Douluo was terrified. He hurriedly mobilized his soul power to break free, fortunately, as they were both level 95 Title Douluo, the duration of Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill wasn't very long.
"Ninth soul skill, Falling Petals, Severed Heart!" Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out. The giant Marvelous Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum scattered into a sky full of petals, quickly converging to surround him, then began to spin.
Ding ding ding—
Blade after blade was deflected by the powerful energy, and a series of crisp sounds continuously spread outward.
"Medusa's Gaze." Seeing the stalemate, Dugu Bo grinned. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes, merging into the Serpentine Emerald Scale Divine Light.
When Dugu Bo consumed the Immortal Herb, neither his physical body nor his Martial Soul underwent much change. The only thing that seemed to have ascended was his soul power, manifesting as enhanced mental strength.
Boom—
As soon as the two pale beams joined, they had a devastating effect, directly piercing through the layers of chrysanthemum protection.
Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a miserable cry and was sent flying by the powerful energy impact.
The scenery rapidly receded in his vision. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chrysanthemum Douluo fell towards the ground in an arc.
He was very high up at this moment, but what worried him wasn't what would happen when he hit the ground. Because in this brief moment, his hands had already turned pitch black, and a part of his abdomen had turned to stone.
He had lost, and he was going to die!
This was the only thought left in Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind, and then his consciousness involuntarily began to recall his life.
"Haha."
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo was sinking into his life flashing before his eyes, a raucous laugh brought him back to reality. Then he felt the poison in his body being rapidly extracted.
Dugu Bo had briefly considered killing Chrysanthemum Douluo, but as soon as this thought appeared, he suppressed it.
He and his granddaughter Dugu Yan had been staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for almost ten years, and their feelings for the school were needless to say. Moreover, once his all-purpose panacea was ready, Li Xun might even become his grandson-in-law.
Naturally, Dugu Bo wouldn't drag everyone down at this point.
"Stop playing dead, your poison has been neutralized. The petrification on your body is minimal, it will recede in a few days." Looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo lying motionless on the ground, Dugu Bo felt all his past frustrations dissipate.
"I'm heading back now. If you want to get even in the future, I'm ready anytime. But don't worry, we're on the same side now, I won't kill you. Besides, even if you wanted to die, it wouldn't be easy."
After saying this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh heartily, then transformed into a streak of light and flew into Heavenly Dou City.
Chrysanthemum Douluo waited for a long time before slowly opening his eyes and struggling to sit up from the ground: "...Old bastard."
Although the poison in his body had been neutralized, the impact he received had injured his internal organs. He spat out another mouthful of stagnant blood before feeling some relief.
He struggled to stand up: "I really can't beat him alone now."
One month later, in the Pope's Hall of Spirit City.
"What exactly does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School want to do?" Bibi Dong looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo kneeling before her with an ashen face.
A mighty Title Douluo went out to carry out her orders, yet returned so severely injured that he had to ride in a carriage. Bibi Dong couldn't imagine anything more humiliating than this.
"Did Ning Fengzhi refuse my order?"
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's pale face, Bibi Dong softened her tone. The Chrysanthemum and Ghost duo had always been her loyal followers. If it wasn't their own mistake, she generally wouldn't pursue the matter.
"Your Excellency, Ning Fengzhi didn't exactly refuse, he just kept evading the issue, saying everything was done on the Young Master's orders." Chrysanthemum Douluo felt relieved and slowly lowered his head.
"If it wasn't for his tacit approval, how could Xiaoxue have the ability to defy me? It must be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School supporting her from behind." Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold, her chest heaving violently. "Do you have any evidence that Sword Douluo has broken through to level 98?"
"When I returned, I inquired about it. The reason Ning Fengzhi went out that day was to meet with Sword Douluo and announce this matter." Chrysanthemum Douluo said carefully.
"Three Super Douluos in one school, and one of them just a step away from reaching the limit of Title Douluo. Well, well, they're trying to turn the tables."
Bibi Dong was burning with anger. She forcefully struck her scepter on the ground. Taking a deep breath, she looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was cowering like a quail: "You go and rest well to recover."
"Yes." Chrysanthemum Douluo respectfully prepared to withdraw, but as he was leaving, he seemed to remember something: "Your Excellency, when I returned, I learned that there was an anomaly in the Star Dou Great Forest. Should we investigate?"
Bibi Dong was currently immersed in anger and waved her hand: "Once you've recovered, you can go take a look."
After a long while, as if her emotions had calmed somewhat, Bibi Dong began to ponder.
She was at a crucial moment now and couldn't mobilize too much power. It seemed she would have to pay a visit to Qiandao Liu.
That old fox Ning Fengzhi might have forgotten who the real power holder in Spirit Hall was. Did he think that just by holding onto her daughter, she would be too afraid to act?
What a joke.
Bibi Dong stood up abruptly and strode quickly towards the Hall of Offerings.
She was going to show Ning Fengzhi the true power of Spirit Hall right now.
