Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 95 Dugu Bo: Your demeanor is quite impressive, but your strength is rather outrageous. (Together)

A few days later,

early morning,

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting its glow on the road leading from Soto City to Tiandou City.

The path that Ren and his companions took was winding and circuitous, and it also passed through a mysterious place in the Douluo Continent—the Sunset Forest.

The trees here are tall and ancient; it's a nice place.

In the Sunset Forest, there is a place that can be considered a miracle in the Douluo Continent—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

In the original story, this place was the holy land where Tang San took off and gained superpowers, and it was also the secret to the Shrek Seven Devils' rapid improvement in strength.

The legendary immortal herbs grow exceptionally lush here. They contain immense power, making them incredibly formidable to the locals. They can trigger mutations in martial spirits, temper talents, and make the strong even stronger.

However, someone who knows the truth would naturally not forget this place.

He then changed his itinerary and first went to the depths of the Sunset Forest.

For Ren, the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is no longer what he urgently needs.

Not to mention that he could buy these immortal herbs infinitely at a low price, his power had become unbelievably strong as he progressed past the halfway point of his character's development.

However, this kind of place has a very different meaning for the local residents of Douluo Continent!

These magical herbs, if they fall into the hands of someone who knows how to use them, will become the key to changing one's destiny.

In this world where martial spirits are revered, the value of these immortal herbs is immeasurable, and the power boost they can bring is something many people dream of.

Of course, this power is only limited to the world of floor tiles.

Blue Silver Emperor suggested that they take over this place and make it all Shrek's property.

In the future, if any outstanding individuals with excellent character and moral qualities emerge, they should be rewarded.

Ren naturally agreed, after all, according to his mission, he was here for someone else.

That's Dugu Bo.

This person is, after all, a guest advisor of Emperor Xue Ye of the Heavenly Dou Empire. If Qian Renxue wants to seize power without bloodshed, it would be much simpler if this person could be secretly controlled.

quickly,

In the forest at sunset!

The three then ventured deep into the heart of the Sunset Forest.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, dappling their bodies and adding an eerie touch to this mysterious and ancient forest.

Deep within the Sunset Forest, Blade quickly found the area where the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was hidden.

There is a strange aura in the air here, like a mysterious power surging from the depths of the earth.

Blade stood before a barrier made of green energy, his gaze indifferent and focused.

Before long, he gently drew the shattered sword from his bosom. The blade gleamed with a cold light, displaying the impending destruction.

Ren glanced at the green barrier, his arm muscles tensed instantly, and the fragmented sword drew a beautiful arc in the air, accompanied by a blood-red sword aura, as he fiercely slashed at the barrier set up by Dugu Bo.

The sword energy pierced through the green barrier like a hot knife through butter, producing a crisp cracking sound.

The blade's force was perfectly controlled, creating a small hole in the barrier, just big enough for the three of them to pass through, without causing further damage.

This barrier was originally set up by Dugu Bo to prevent outsiders and soul beasts from intruding.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not choose to completely shatter the entire barrier.

His goal was to enter the area of ​​the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, not to cause pointless destruction.

After the sword energy dissipated, the blade lightly leaped over the cave entrance, turned back and made a "follow" gesture to Lan Yinhuang and Zhu Zhuqing.

The three filed in, passed through the hole in the barrier, and entered the land shrouded in mysterious power.

Their figures gradually disappeared behind the green barrier, leaving only the regular hole in the barrier.

Following closely behind Blade, the Blue Silver Emperor slowly passed through the hole torn open by the sword energy, and suddenly said in a calm tone:

"Master, Qian Renxue sent word that Dugu Bo is not in the Heaven Dou Empire; he's probably here."

To this, Ren simply nodded:

"I know, just take him with you."

Zhu Zhuqing looked around. Now her perception was extremely strong, and she carefully sensed the atmosphere around her.

She said softly, "The Poison Douluo's strength should not be underestimated; his area-of-effect damage is undoubtedly devastating on the battlefield. Here, he might still be somewhat useful!"

If he could be put to use in the military, that would be a huge asset.

"It's time to take him down!"

"It will definitely save us trouble in future wars!"

Lan Yinhuang nodded, then shook her head slightly, her tone thoughtful: "Yes, it would be of great benefit to us to bring such a person under our command as soon as possible."

"However, we should still try to avoid war, because the suffering brought by war will ultimately fall on innocent ordinary people."

She turned to Zhu Zhuqing, smiled, and asked, "Life is such a wonderful thing, Zhuqing, don't you think?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head and replied shyly, "Oh, Sister Lanyin is right! Zhuqing has learned a lot!"

"Haha, I learned all of this from my master~" Blue Silver Emperor covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes revealing admiration for the blade.

She stole a glance at Ren's profile as he walked ahead, then winked at Zhu Zhuqing, as if sharing a little secret known only to the two of them.

Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly; she immediately understood Lan Yinhuang's meaning and hurriedly praised Yang Ren with joy:

"Yes, Master! You have such foresight! You unified the Douluo Continent without shedding a drop of blood!"

The voice was filled with respect and admiration.

Ren didn't care about this.

He seemed rather indifferent to the alternating flattery from Lan Yinhuang and Zhu Zhuqing.

Since they embarked on their journey, the two men's words have always unconsciously revealed their admiration for him, as if every sentence was subtly aimed at him, trying to draw him into the focus of the conversation.

It's become commonplace.

Ren let out a helpless sigh, his magnetic voice slowly emanating from him.

"Winning without bloodshed is difficult."

"Especially the Star Luo Empire."

"However, let's try our best."

As soon as Ren finished speaking,

Suddenly, his gaze changed from its previous indifferent and casual look to one as sharp as a knife.

The tone shifted abruptly, remaining cold yet carrying an undeniable seriousness:

Dugu Bo is getting closer.

At that moment, Ren's aura shifted slightly, his presence becoming exceptionally strong in the forest. Within the domain of the Spider Lily, he was the undisputed ruler of this forest!

Upon hearing this, Lan Yinhuang and Zhu Zhuqing immediately suppressed their relaxed and happy expressions, and their expressions became formal and focused.

My body tensed slightly, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.

However, there was no trace of tension in their eyes, only unconditional trust in the blade and anticipation for the upcoming challenge.

After all, as long as they have blades, they can face whatever awaits them ahead.

Sure enough, it happened very quickly!

Just as Blade had predicted, a sound suddenly came from the forest.

The voice was strong and powerful, and although it sounded somewhat weak, it still carried an unassailable air of authority.

"Who dares to trespass on my territory?! Can't you see my protective barrier?!"

"How audacious! Not only did they break in, but they also destroyed my barrier?!"

Dugu Bo's voice echoed through the forest, filled with anger and surprise, causing the trees to tremble and their leaves to rustle.

As the voice faded away, at that very moment, Dugu Bo's figure appeared like a ghost directly in front of the blade.

His appearance came without warning, as if he had stepped directly out of thin air, his clothes fluttering in the wind, accompanied by an invisible sense of oppression.

At the same time, a dark green poisonous mist silently spread out, quickly surrounding Blade, Blue Silver Emperor, and Zhu Zhuqing.

The poisonous fog emitted a nauseating odor that sent chills down one's spine, making one feel that once inhaled, one would be doomed.

With his hands behind his back and a cold, sharp gaze, Dugu Bo's figure appeared even more majestic and mysterious in the poisonous fog.

"Who are you? I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've encountered someone like you. Quickly state your name!"

.

His brows were furrowed, and his gaze swept over the three of them, as if searching for an answer.

Soon, he continued, his voice as cold as ice, pressing on:

"Furthermore, what exactly do you intend to do? Why have you broken the barrier and trespassed on my territory?"

Dugu Bo was wary and puzzled by these unknown guests. His aura seemed to freeze the surrounding air as he awaited their response.

Faced with Dugu Bo's questioning, Ren simply exhaled a breath without any expression, yet that breath contained boundless power.

In that very breath, a strange change occurred.

Spider lilies bloomed silently around the three of them, their blood-red petals standing out starkly against the dark green poisonous mist—a call from another world!

These spider lilies are not real flowers, but rather formed from the power of the blade. They emit a blood-red aura, forming an indestructible barrier that completely isolates Dugu Bo's poisonous mist.

This scene was both bizarre and shocking, causing Dugu Bo to feel a deep sense of apprehension about Ren's strength.

"My name is Blade."

Soon, Ren's voice was calm yet powerful, neither too loud nor too soft, yet carrying an undeniable pressure. His aura was almost tangible, giving people a sense of innate killing intent.

"I came here specifically to find you."

"And this land of yours too."

Blade's gaze swept across the surroundings, his voice simple and direct, without any unnecessary embellishment.

Moreover, as soon as the words fell, an overwhelming pressure emanating from the bountiful land instantly unfolded!

At that moment, Dugu Bo felt unprecedented pressure.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.

The person in front of him, who called himself "Blade," was clearly no ordinary person. The killing intent that he inadvertently revealed made Dugu Bo realize that the newcomer was not friendly.

Although this was his territory, Dugu Bo was confident enough that even if the people from the Spirit Hall came, he could at least ensure his own safe retreat.

But at this moment, faced with the sudden appearance of the blade and the suffocating sense of oppression, he had to suppress the unease rising in his heart, carefully examine his opponent, and prepare to deal with whatever might happen.

"Your Excellency, you're joking. Looking for me? Want my land?" Dugu Bo's tone was laced with sarcasm, and his eyes gleamed with scrutiny, as if assessing Ren's sincerity or madness.

"Hahaha, you're all far too arrogant!" Dugu Bo laughed loudly, his voice echoing through the forest, sounding particularly jarring.

His laughter was full of disdain; he clearly found Ren and the others' demands utterly absurd.

"Whether you have these or not depends on your capabilities!"

Soon, Dugu Bo's voice suddenly turned cold. His attitude was very clear: he regarded the arrival of Ren and the others as a provocation.

Dugu Bo had already assumed that Ren and the others were there to cause trouble, and that they might be envoys sent by the Spirit Hall. He had never had any goodwill towards the Spirit Hall, and was now even more wary.

He decided to swiftly defeat these three uninvited guests within the area he had meticulously prepared.

Moreover, in his opinion, of the three, only Blade, who stood in the middle, seemed like a formidable opponent, while the other two were not worth taking seriously at all.

A ruthless glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and he decided to strike first.

Almost instantly, Dugu Bo's figure shot towards the three of them like an arrow released from a bow.

The movement was so fast that no one could react in time. Before Blade and Blue Silver Emperor could even make any verbal explanation, Dugu Bo had already pounced on Blade!

His speed was so fast that it seemed to distort the air itself, and his fierce aura seemed to be able to crush the three of them in one fell swoop.

The corners of Ren's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a helpless smile. Even without deliberately displaying it, his killing intent was still so strong that it could not be ignored.

He knew that in this world, words were often less direct and effective than fists. Many times, only by making the other party feel fear could they sit down and talk calmly.

With precise control of his power, Ren slowly drew the Fragmented Sword. A faint red light flashed in his blood-red eyes, like two sparks, foreshadowing the fierce battle to come.

"hehe."

Ren chuckled lightly, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

immediately,

Blade gently raised his left hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together and bending the other three fingers naturally to form a sword-finger gesture. This was his habitual action before battle and also his unique understanding of swordsmanship.

As Dugu Bo lunged, Ren's body sprang up like a spring, his steps light and swift, each step precisely landing in the position that could best unleash his power.

He slightly turned his body to avoid Dugu Bo's direct attack, while the fragmented sword in his hand drew an elegant arc, bringing with it a string of blood-red sword light.

In the instant the sword flashed, the tip of the blade collided with Dugu Bo's attack, producing a crisp metallic clang.

With a nimble twist of his wrist, the blade instantly changed angle, carrying an invisible force as it directly met Dugu Bo's attack.

Another explosive sound rang out, and the battle between Ren and Dugu Bo instantly erupted with astonishing energy fluctuations.

The collision between the two actually dispersed much of the surrounding poisonous fog!

At this moment, the usually arrogant Dugu Bo suddenly felt powerless as he faced the blade.

Only then did he realize how wrong his previous judgment had been.

This is not just a formidable opponent, this is a terrifying enemy!!

An unprecedented sense of crisis welled up in Dugu Bo's heart.

What he didn't know was that...

Blade had actually been deliberately suppressing his strength.

After all, there was a great concern that if they went all out, they might accidentally kill the already weakened Dugu Bo.
