Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 9 Breaking into the Military Camp
……

"You old poisoner! Prepare to die!"

After escaping using underhanded tactics, Dugu Bo's joy was short-lived, as the ghost quickly caught up with him.

Ghost is indeed a titled Douluo of the agility-based attack type, and his soul power level is also higher. In terms of speed, Dugu Bo is no match for him at all.

Although the ghost was wary of Dugu Bo's potent poison and couldn't take him down directly, it was more than enough to keep him occupied.

During this time, Yue Guan also caught up.

The poisoned Yue Guan attacked even more fiercely than before, clearly angered.

"Yue Guan! Are you out of your mind?!" Dugu Bo was also exasperated.

Yue Guan was caught off guard by that attack and was already poisoned by his snake venom!
Instead of taking the time to detox, why are you relentlessly pursuing him?
"Old poisoner, you think too highly of yourself!" Yue Guan said coldly.

"I'm a level 94 Title Douluo, that little bit of poison can't kill me!"

The reason they haven't been able to take down Dugu Bo is because they're worried about the deadly poison that would be released if the old poisoner were to explode, not because they're afraid of the little bit of poison he has.

"Damn it!"

Faced with the serious attack of two titled Douluo, Dugu Bo was no match at all. In addition, due to his injuries, he could barely suppress the backlash of the poison.

Seeing the seriously injured Dugu Bo, Yue Guan and the other man significantly reduced their attacks and deliberately kept their distance.

They were angry as they were, but if Dugu Bo went berserk and self-destructed, they couldn't handle it.

"Are you going to die?" Xuanming asked abruptly.

Dugu Bo grunted, "If I die, you won't be able to escape either!"

Just as Dugu Bo was about to unleash his eighth soul skill and gamble with Yue Guan and the other two, he seemed to sense something and accelerated once again, rushing into the depths of the dense forest.

Before long, the dense forest began to thin out, and bursts of firelight reappeared in front of us.

"A military camp?" Xuanming immediately spotted several military flags of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

This is the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Could this be the garrison of the Heaven Dou Empire's army?
Upon seeing the military camp, Dugu Bo not only did not slow down, but instead plunged straight in.

He no longer had the strength to continue fighting Chrysanthemum Demon. If they continued, he would be killed by the backlash of the poison before Yue Guan could deliver the fatal blow!
The only way to survive now is to use the Heavenly Dou Empire's military camp to entangle Yue Guan and his group.

"alert!!"

After Dugu Bo rushed in, the once quiet military camp instantly came to life, with soldiers densely packed together, and the firelight quickly illuminated the entire camp.

"what's the situation?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Prince Xuexing immediately summoned his generals from the central military camp, the most heavily guarded area.

"The Star Luo Army launched a sneak attack?"

"Your Highness, someone has spotted Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from the Spirit Hall," a soldier reported.

"They seem to be hunting someone down."

"Pursue?" Prince Xuexing frowned.

Who is someone worthy of being personally hunted down by two Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall?

"Your Highness, they are rampaging through our camp. If we don't stop them, the army will be thrown into chaos, and Xingluo might take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack," a general said.

Prince Xuexing thought for a moment, then led a group of generals out of the main tent.

"What brings you, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, to our camp?"

Xue Xing's voice, amplified by her soul power, quickly spread, and Dugu Bo, who was fleeing ahead, landed not far from the main tent.

"The Spirit Hall is apprehending a wanted criminal, and we hope for your cooperation!" Yue Guan announced loudly.

"A wanted criminal?" Prince Xuexing and his generals warily surrounded Dugu Bo's location.

The heavily injured Dugu Bo no longer had the strength to run and could only stand there, suppressing the backlash with all his might. "Poison Douluo?" Prince Xue Xing was stunned.

Why is Chrysanthemum Demon chasing after Dugu Bo?
"Prince Xuexing?" Dugu Bo was also somewhat surprised.

Before the two could say anything, Yue Guan and Gui Mei caught up with them.

"Old poisoner, you have nowhere to escape now."

Seeing that Dugu Bo was already at his limit, Yue Guan was no longer wasting time and was about to make a move.

Upon seeing this, Prince Xuexing raised his hand, and the generals surrounding him stepped forward to block Yue Guan.

The leading general was an eight-ring Soul Douluo, and the remaining generals were all seven-ring Soul Saints. Faced with this formation, Yue Guan had no choice but to stop.

"Prince Xuexing, what do you mean by this?" Yue Guan asked.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, please calm down." Prince Xuexing walked to Dugu Bo's side.

"I am an old acquaintance of Poison Douluo. I don't know what happened to cause you two to act like this, even if it means breaking into my camp?"

Dugu Bo remained silent. Although he knew Xue Xing, it was only because of his son who had died young from poison. Their relationship was not close.

He was very surprised that Xuexing stepped forward to help at this time.

"You don't need to worry about the Spirit Hall's affairs," Yue Guan said calmly.

If recruitment fails, resorting to assassination is not a respectable act.

“The affairs of the Spirit Hall are naturally beyond my control. However, this is the central military camp of my Heaven Dou Empire. Since Your Excellencies have forced your way here, I cannot ignore it,” said Prince Xue Xing.

"Moreover, Poison Douluo is a guest elder of the royal family of our Heaven Dou Empire. Since Your Majesty wants to kill him, there should be an explanation."

"Guest Elder?" Yue Guan was taken aback and turned to look at Gui Mei.

Ghost shook his head; he had never heard of such a thing.

Dugu Bo was busy suppressing the backlash from the poison and didn't have time to speak.

"Xue Xing, don't talk nonsense. I've never heard of Dugu Bo becoming a royal guest of your Tian Dou Empire," Yue Guan said.

“Chrysanthemum Douluo may not know this, but I was once friends with the son of Poison Douluo. This happened many years ago, before Poison Douluo was promoted to Title Douluo, so it didn’t get out,” said Prince Xuexing.

Yue Guan frowned deeply, "Even so, this matter..."

"Your Majesty, this is the military camp of 200,000 troops of my Heavenly Dou Empire!" Prince Xuexing reminded him.

"As highly respected titled Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall, surely Your Excellencies wouldn't act recklessly?"

"You!" Yue Guan's expression changed.

If a battle were to break out with an army of 200,000, he and Ghostly Demon might be able to escape, but they couldn't bear the responsibility of rashly engaging in battle with the Heavenly Dou army!

"Xue Xing, do you really intend to oppose the Spirit Hall?" Yue Guan asked coldly.

"Your Majesty is too kind. How could Xuexing dare to say such a thing?" Prince Xuexing bowed respectfully.

"Xue Xing has no intention of opposing the Spirit Hall. However, this is our army's camp. If Your Excellencies were to make a move here, our soldiers would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, I hope Your Excellencies will reconsider."

"..."

Yue Guan remained silent for a long time before turning back to look at the ghost.

The ghost simply shook its head.

Xue Xing clearly wanted to protect Dugu Bo. If the two of them continued to fight, they might have a chance to kill this old poisoner, but the trouble that would follow would be something they couldn't afford.

Since things have escalated to this point, the only option is to report the matter to the Elders' Hall for further discussion.
