Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 169 The Fall of Dugu Bo

As Chrysanthemum Douluo's petals transformed into countless sharp blades, they essentially enveloped Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo was immediately shocked. If the competition continued like this, the two sides would only be competing in terms of soul power. Moreover, Dugu Bo had always been somewhat behind Chrysanthemum Douluo in terms of soul power. After all, in his eyes, Chrysanthemum Douluo was as high as level 95, while he had always only been level 92.

However, in this competition, Dugu Bo clearly felt that Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to have become stronger than before, especially the great sword formed from chrysanthemums, which seemed to have become sharper and tougher than before.

Dugu Bo seemed to be very clear that if the two sides continued to fight to the death like this, he would suffer a great loss sooner or later. So he instantly activated his third soul skill: Azure Phosphorus Bewitching Array. Instantly, a green poisonous fog filled the entire battlefield. In this poisonous fog, everyone had to consume a certain amount of soul power to resist the fog.

Chrysanthemum Douluo wasn't too worried. Instead, he summoned even more chrysanthemum-shaped swords and attacked Dugu Bo with them all.

Dugu Bo was stunned. He hadn't expected Chrysanthemum Douluo to become so powerful. His Jade Phosphorus Bewitching Array couldn't harm him at all.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly dodged Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack. Then, the originally powerful Jade Phosphorus Serpent King actually spat out a green aura, which was the Jade Phosphorus Serpent King Poison, and also the Jade Phosphorus Serpent King Martial Soul's innate poison.

Chrysanthemum Douluo radiated endless light, and countless petals, like a meteor shower, swiftly attacked the green Jade Scale Serpent King Poison. This was Chrysanthemum Douluo's sixth soul skill: Golden Stamens Flowing Clouds.

Comparing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo, there is a huge difference in their soul power levels. However, Dugu Bo is a beast spirit, which seems to give him a stronger close-combat ability compared to Chrysanthemum Douluo's plant spirit.

The two fought continuously for several tens of minutes in the Sunset Forest. It was obvious that Chrysanthemum Douluo gradually gained the upper hand with his powerful soul power, while Dugu Bo seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

However, just as the battle was raging, Dugu Bo's enormous Azure Phosphorous Serpent King suddenly shot out a white light from its eyes, instantly enveloping Chrysanthemum Douluo. It was his soul bone skill, Medusa's Gaze.

Dugu Bo's Soul Bone skill is extremely powerful; it can petrify enemies and even freeze time, making it a top-tier Soul Skill. This is one of the reasons why he dared to challenge Chrysanthemum Douluo one-on-one.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had used his head soul bone skill, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not to be outdone. He directly summoned a giant Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. The stamen of the chrysanthemum emitted a dazzling light. This was Chrysanthemum Douluo's eighth soul skill: Flowing Light, which could completely rival Dugu Bo's head soul bone skill.

Seeing that his head soul bone skills were ineffective, Dugu Bo was well aware that there was still a gap between his strength and that of Chrysanthemum Douluo. He directly used his seventh soul skill: Martial Soul True Body, which transformed him into a giant Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, hoping to use his relatively strong physique to fight at close range.

Chrysanthemum Douluo also used his Martial Soul True Body, his whole body radiating endless light, his entire body as golden as gold, which was the effect of his seventh soul skill: Qirong Tongtian, Vajra Indestructible.

As Chrysanthemum Douluo used his Martial Soul True Body, he was able to forcefully suppress Dugu Bo's Martial Soul True Body. Dugu Bo knew in his heart that he was probably in trouble, so he quickly flew away into the distance.

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly caught up and shouted, "Old Poisoner, I'm giving you one last chance. If you surrender now and join my Spirit Hall, I might spare your life and even help you get rid of the poison in your spirit."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly: "Chrysanthemum Pass, although you are stronger than me, you are alone now. It's impossible for you to kill me. Once we reach Heavenly Dou City, what can you do to me?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but sigh: "Old Poisoner, I've never wanted to kill you. This is my last chance to give you, or you'll bear the consequences."

Dugu Bo ignored Chrysanthemum Douluo's words and flew away at high speed. He knew very well that he was no match for Chrysanthemum Douluo at the moment, but if he wanted to escape, Chrysanthemum Douluo simply did not have such overwhelming strength.

Just then, a strange change occurred in Sunset Forest. Countless ghostly hands appeared on the ground and grabbed at Dugu Bo. Moreover, these ghostly hands had a powerful suction ability and seemed to be filled with darkness.

Dugu Bo was immediately shocked. He knew very well that this should be Ghost Douluo who had chased him before. He did not expect that Ghost Douluo would also appear this time, and had been waiting for him in the dark. Obviously, he had great confidence in Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength, and Ghost Douluo just wanted to prevent him from escaping.

Dugu Bo quickly steadied himself and planned to fly in another direction.

But before he could turn around, two more figures appeared in the sky. One of them emitted endless flames, blocking his path, while the other blocked the other way.

Dugu Bo forced himself to calm down, his eyes filled with despair. Although he did not recognize the other two, he was very clear that they were definitely titled Douluo, otherwise they would not be able to compete with his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was forcibly surrounded in the center by four titled Douluo, almost blocking all his paths.

Dugu Bo couldn't help but swallow hard: "Chrysanthemum Pass, we only had a small conflict, I didn't expect you to mobilize such a large force today. It seems you really want to suppress me."

"Is your Spirit Hall so intolerant of me? Fine, I'll fight you to the death."

Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled slightly: "Old Poison, this time it wasn't the Spirit Hall that made the move, but I personally asked a few friends to help. Now you are doomed. If you want to live, I can give you one last chance, but you must swear allegiance to the Spirit Hall and leave behind something that can keep you in check."

Dugu Bo sneered: "Chrysanthemum Pass, don't make it sound so nice. Even if you joined the Spirit Hall, you only did some treacherous and cunning things. Even if I die, I will never be a lackey of the Spirit Hall."

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but sigh: "Fine, then go in peace."

Dugu Bo roared, "Even if I die, I'll take you all down with me!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo actually spat out a bright green poison pill from his mouth, clearly intending to fight to the death.

However, all four of them, including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, revealed their martial souls and soul rings. All four of them were at the Title Douluo level. Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with despair. Although he was able to desperately escape from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, this time Chrysanthemum Douluo had obviously planned ahead and even went so far as to send four Title Douluos. Moreover, they all seemed to be holding themselves very tightly.

Just as Dugu Bo had thought, Chrysanthemum Douluo had also made careful preparations this time. The Spirit Kite Douluo's martial soul, Flame Eagle, was extremely effective against poison-attribute soul masters and also very effective against snake-type soul masters. The Serpent Spear Douluo's martial soul, Serpent Spear, could transform into a strange snake and was completely unafraid of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's poison.

A quarter of an hour later, under the siege of the four, Dugu Bo had already collapsed to the ground, on the verge of death. Although he held a poison pill in his hand, the poison pill had no effect on these four people. At most, it could only kill some people and soul beasts below the title Douluo level, and it could not change the inevitable defeat situation.

Especially when Dugu Bo desperately tried to break through using his ninth soul skill, he was actually blocked by Chrysanthemum Douluo, which means that Chrysanthemum Douluo had probably been hiding some of his strength when he fought him earlier.

Dugu Bo spoke with a face full of resentment: "Chrysanthemum Pass, Ghostly Demon, you are too despicable! I didn't expect you to have hidden your strength, your soul power reaching level ninety-six. But I still want to ask, why were you so determined to kill me? Aren't you afraid of provoking a war between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled slightly: "Old Poisoner, I'll put your mind at ease before I die. I've set my sights on your family's herb garden, and you've always been working against the Heaven Dou Empire and our Spirit Hall. You should have expected this outcome long ago."

Dugu Bo's face showed a hint of doubt: "My herb garden? Were the people who infiltrated my herb garden last time your men? You had already dug up all the herbs, yet you still wanted to kill me."

Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't say anything more. He directly slashed down, and Dugu Bo's head was instantly separated from his body, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

With the fall of Dugu Bo, the guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire and the strongest poison soul master on the Douluo Continent, the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire will be greatly weakened. It should be noted that Dugu Bo was even stronger in terms of strategic significance, as he had restrained both the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire's army.

Yang Ping'an and Li Gui also arrived at the place where Dugu Bo died. This plan was initiated by Yang Ping'an, who observed the battle from a distance the whole time.

It must be said that battles at the Title Douluo level are indeed spectacular and have a wide impact. Even Dugu Bo, who is known as the bottom of the Title Douluo ranks, has very strong fighting power when he fights desperately, and his fighting awareness is also very strong. Indeed, in the world of Douluo I, those who can become Title Douluo are all top geniuses who are excellent in all aspects.
