Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 107 Assassination
The ancient Sunset Forest was shrouded in mist, its towering branches intertwined into a dense web. A sudden clap of air startled a flock of jackdaws. Dozens of figures clad in silver-striped armor leaped through the treetops, and the Snow Owl flag of the Tiandou Imperial Family fluttered in the morning breeze.

"Chase!"

The sound of the white deer's hooves stepping on the moss was as shocking as the sound of drums. It leaped a hundred meters, and colorful rainbow light bloomed from its twisted antlers. The soul beasts startled along the way raised their iron hooves and guarded the colorful white deer.

Someone among the pursuers shot ice chains at the white deer, but they were torn into pieces by a large number of soul beasts.

The seven-colored white deer is 80,000 years old, but its combat power is only equivalent to that of an ordinary 50,000-year-old soul beast. Its strength lies in the seven-colored rainbow light emitted by its antlers, which can give the soul beast a strengthened state and has excellent healing ability.

Its powerful healing ability makes many soul beasts spontaneously protect it.

The Xue family's swan spirit can take two routes: the agile attack system and the auxiliary system. The latter does not have combat capabilities, but its potential is no worse than the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. After all, the swan spirit can be cultivated to the level of a nine-ring Titled Douluo.

Once Xue Ye breaks through to the auxiliary system Titled Douluo, his powerful auxiliary ability will allow the royal elders and military guards to increase their combat effectiveness by one level. Unless a dozen Titled Douluos raid, no one can assassinate him.

There has not been a Titled Douluo of the Auxiliary system born in the mainland so far. Only by breaking through level 90 in Oscar can the record be broken.

From this, we can see Emperor Xue Ye's talent for cultivation. If he hadn't had fewer opportunities, he wouldn't be much inferior to Oscar.

Dugu Bo stepped on the Green Phosphorus Snake King and floated in the air, and the dark green poisonous mist wrapped around his fingertips like a living thing.

When three 30,000-year-old golden-eyed black tigers broke through the defense line, he flicked his knuckles and the poisonous mist immediately turned into giant pythons that strangled the tigers' bodies.

There was a sizzling sound of corrosion, and the fur, which was harder than steel, was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. The beast's roar soon turned into a shrill wail.

"You are overestimating your own abilities." Dugu Bo commented calmly, earning the respectful gazes of the worshippers.

Xue Ye invited Dugu Bo to come in order to deal with the soul beast strengthened by the seven-colored white deer. Under the corrosive poison, the soul defense of a 50,000-year-old soul beast could not withstand it for ten seconds.

"Close the net!"

Following the order from the worshiper, eight black iron chains emerged from the ground first, followed by dense blue vines, which bound the white deer's limbs.

The formation formed by the control-type Soul Fighters is impenetrable. Ancient runes appear on the surface of the silver-white chains of the old man in the lead, which has extraordinary sealing capabilities.

The rainbow light of the seven-colored deer was suppressed, becoming flickering. The 80,000-year-old soul beast howled and charged at a person, but it was only struggling in its death throes.

More than fifty Soul Saints surrounded the White Deer and used their soul skills to consume it to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

For the ninth soul ring, Emperor Xue Ye put most of his family fortune at stake. He would not allow failure!
The colorful deer was quickly beaten to a low health level, and the control-type Soul Fighter bound it and took it away from the Sunset Forest.

The blue brick floor of Sunset City Lord's Mansion was stained with bloodstains. A colorful deer was locked in a cold iron cage with silver chains. Its rainbow light had become dim, but it was still tenaciously healing the wounds on its body that were so deep that the bones could be seen.

Emperor Xue Ye and his escort convoy arrived at Sunset City only one step slower than the Colorful Deer. The entire city was under control, and the army patrolled the streets, not letting even a fly in.

Xue Ye stroked the jeweled hilt of the sword at his waist, and suddenly turned to look at the shadow of the eaves: "Mr. Dugu, please protect me."

"No need to be polite. The Tiandou Empire protected me once, and I will return the favor."

Dugu Bo responded indifferently. If it weren't for the favor, he would not even look down on the "precious medicines" that Xue Ye gave him. They were not even a fraction of what he had in his other residence.

Emperor Xue Ye was familiar with Dugu Bo's strange personality, so he didn't take it to heart. He killed the seven-colored white deer and began to fuse the soul rings.

As the 80,000-year spirit ring emanated its spirit power, a golden-armored tiger guard on the street flashed his eyes. He was none other than the disguised Thorny Porpoise Douluo. He remembered Qian Renxue's instructions and decided to find a way to destroy Xue Ye, ideally to sever his hopes of a breakthrough.

"The most taboo thing about a fused soul ring is that it cannot be disturbed, let alone the ninth soul ring. If you are not careful, it will backfire. If the medicinal fragrance prepared by Yang Wushuang is used during this period, it will detonate the Myriad Purple and Red Poison in Xue Ye's body, and the soul ring will backfire. The poison will penetrate deep into the martial soul, and Xue Ye will have difficulty practicing in the future."

Thorny Porpoise Douluo reviewed the plan, making sure it was ready and calculating all the details.

His martial spirit restrains Dugu Bo. Other Titled Douluo need to use their soul power to dissolve the venom of the Green Phosphorus Snake. His porpoise martial spirit is also full of poison and can ignore most of Dugu Bo's toxins.

There are more than ten Soul Douluos and two Soul Saint teams hiding nearby, which is enough to delay him for a while and give him a chance to attack.

So, after a quarter of an hour of waiting for the soul power fluctuation to appear, Xue Ye had initially integrated the soul ring, and Thorny Porpoise Douluo no longer waited.

"action!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Thorny Pig Bone Spur!"

The Thorny Porpoise Douluo released his martial spirit, and the surface of the round Thorny Porpoise was covered with poisonous spines. In an instant, hundreds of bone spines shot out in a fan shape. The three Soul Saints closest to him didn't even have time to open their defenses before they were corroded into white bones.

The people in the Spirit Hall took precautions in advance and were not injured.

The other bodyguards were in a miserable state. Most of them were hit by the Titled Douluo's fifth soul skill, which contained the deadly poison of the Thorny Porpoise Martial Soul. A few Soul Emperors died instantly, half of the Soul Saints lost their combat effectiveness, and more than a dozen Soul Douluo priests flew into the sky.

"The thief is so outrageous!"

The Soul Douluo who was high above the eaves was the first to notice something was wrong and attacked the Thorny Porpoise Douluo, but was stopped by the Soul Douluo of the Spirit Hall who had hidden his face. The others went looking for their opponents one after another. Because the Thorny Porpoise attacked first, the Spirit Hall was outnumbered and actually suppressed the royal priests.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

In the yard, eight priests released their martial spirits at the same time. The shadows of the snow owl, ice bear, and black turtle intertwined into a barrier, blocking Xue Ye.

Thorny Porpoise Douluo simply disdained this. The strength gap between Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo was more than ten times. Eight Soul Douluos could not stop him.

"Hide your head and show your tail."

Dugu Bo flew up into the sky above the courtyard and looked at the nine spirit rings beneath Thorny Porpoise Douluo. "Who sent you? You're here to assassinate the King and kill him, aren't you afraid that the Heaven Dou Empire's army will surround and kill you?"

Thorny Porpoise Douluo sneered disdainfully. His martial soul needed poison needles to release the toxin, which was not as convenient as Dugu Bo's poison mist, but it could easily poison a large number of soldiers and was not afraid of siege at all.

"Xue Ye is very ambitious. If he breaks through, it will inevitably trigger a war on the continent. We are just enforcing justice and maintaining peace."

"nonsense."

Dugu Bo felt that the other party was taking him for a fool and was too lazy to waste words. The Green Phosphorus Snake King soared into the sky, and the emerald poisonous miasma enveloped the Thorny Porpoise Douluo.

Thorny Porpoise Douluo didn't waste his soul power on defense at all. The deadly poison came into contact with the Thorny Porpoise's martial soul. The blood-colored liquid and poisonous mist made a sound like boiling oil pouring on snow. The Green Phosphorus Snake King and the Thorny Porpoise's phantom tore at each other and entangled in the poisonous mist.

The sixth soul ring lit up, and the Thorny Porpoise Martial Soul began to grow. Secretly, the Thorny Porpoise Douluo crushed the medicinal incense made by Yang Wushuang.

"Blood essence accumulates energy!"
