Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Dugu Bo stood to the side, looking on with suspicion.

"Could Chrysanthemum Pass really have such a kind intention?"

He muttered to himself, but who among those present couldn't hear him?

Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a dark face, "Old Poisoner, since you doubt me so much, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly.

He didn't want to ruin Qi Dao's fortune because of himself, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Chrysanthemum Pass, don't be so petty. I was wrong just now, and I apologize to you."

"Don't worry, I'm not as petty as you!"

"but..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted coldly, then looked at Qi Dao.

"Little one, helping you digest the medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtianju in your body is a delicate task, and it won't be better in less than three to five days."

"Before that, I need to settle things with this old poisoner."

"You should be able to wait this long, right?"

Qi Dao laughed and said, "Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's alluring face broke into a smile.

"Old poisoner, since you're so eager for torture, I'll give you a hand!"

"Don't worry, I won't use my ninth soul skill!"

Dugu Bo scoffed.

"Do I need you to give way to me?"

"I'll show you my true strength in a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's face showed a strange expression.

"Have you forgotten how you used to run away from me in the first place?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo felt he was losing face and his tone was somewhat annoyed.

"If it weren't for the hidden ailment that prevented me from making any progress in my strength back then, you would be the one who had to flee in disarray."

Of course, there's an element of boasting in that statement.

Dugu Bo's cultivation level has indeed remained at level 91 all these years due to the backlash from the toxins.

Even without the backlash from the poison, he could only raise his level to 95 at most, reaching the same level as Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Without condensing a soul core to enhance his endurance, Dugu Bo's chances of defeating Chrysanthemum Douluo in a battle of equal strength are no more than 30%.

In fact, 30% is considered a lot.

After all, Dugu Bo's one-on-one fighting ability is indeed weak.

"A hidden ailment?" Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Dugu Bo, then recalled his unusual behavior and confident demeanor, and a thought struck him.

Could it be that Dugu Bo's previous poor performance was really due to a hidden ailment?

Dugu Bo, however, did not want to continue discussing this topic.

He urged, "If you're going to fight, hurry up! I can't wait to beat you up!"

How could Chrysanthemum Douluo tolerate such an arrogant attitude?

"Old poisoner, you better pray your strength is as tough as your foul mouth!"

As he spoke, he turned to Ghost Douluo and said, "Old Ghost, keep an eye on this little guy and make sure he doesn't get caught in the aftermath of what happened between me and Old Poison."

Ghost Douluo replied, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this kid!"

He then looked at Qi Zhong and said, "Kid, it's too dangerous here. Let's find another place to watch!"

Qi Dao nodded, then mobilized his soul power, and his second soul ring lit up.

A flying sword suddenly materialized in front of him, about a foot above the ground.

Qi Dao lightly touched the ground with his toes, stepped onto his flying sword, and asked Ghost Douluo, "Senior, where shall we go to watch?"

Ghost Douluo stared at Qi Dao, who was suspended in mid-air, and was slightly taken aback.

Is this even possible?

This is clearly a clever trick that allows Qi Dao to fly even though he is neither a flying Soul Master nor a Title Douluo.

Beside him, Chrysanthemum Douluo also showed a look of surprise.

Soul Masters who can fly in the early stages naturally have a strong advantage.

A moment later, Ghost Douluo also slowly floated up.

"Since you can fly, we don't need to watch from too far away."

"Keep up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ghost Douluo's figure slowly rose, finally stopping at a height of about 80 or 90 meters above the ground.

Qi Dao followed behind him.

"Watch the battle between Yue Guan and the Old Poison Master right here!"

"A battle between Title Douluos is quite rare, so watch carefully."

"Experiencing the power of a Title Douluo beforehand will be of great benefit to you in the future!"

Ghost Douluo said to Qi Dao.

After listening, Qi Dao nodded in agreement.

And below.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo also distanced themselves, facing each other.

"Old poisoner, let me see what makes you so confident!"

"Chrysanthemum Pass, don't get scared later!"

"Hmph!" With a soft snort, Chrysanthemum Douluo raised his right palm, and golden light shone from his palm.

At the same time, a huge chrysanthemum phantom appeared behind him, with golden petals fluttering around him.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence!"

Without pausing for a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo lit up his fifth spirit ring and waved his right hand.

Around him, petals fluttered and shot towards Dugu Bo, forming a golden tornado.

At this moment, each petal seemed to transform into an incredibly sharp blade, tearing through the air and emitting a piercing, ear-piercing sound.

"Fifth Soul Skill!"

Dugu Bo also let out a long roar, and his fifth soul ring lit up at the same time.

In an instant, a burst of emerald green soul power erupted from his body, and then condensed into a serpentine barrier in front of him.

The golden tornadoes slammed into the serpentine barrier, but only managed to make it tremble violently.

Although there were constant ripples, it was all bark and no bite.

After condensing his soul core, Dugu Bo not only gained powerful endurance, but his soul power also became more refined, which enhanced his soul skills.

Petals, sharp as blades, were deflected by the serpentine barrier, leaving cracks of varying sizes in the ground and instantly severing trees in half.

The area within a radius of a hundred feet was a complete mess.

Dugu Bo laughed loudly, "Chrysanthemum Pass, are you trying to tickle me?"

Chrysanthemum Pass's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself, "No wonder the old poisoner was so confident this time; his strength has actually reached this level!"

"Could it be that he was unable to unleash his full potential before due to a hidden ailment?"

Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo was pondering, Dugu Bo's fourth spirit ring lit up.

Third Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorous Bewitching Array!

Dugu Bo clapped his hands, releasing a large amount of colorful poisonous mist.

The area covered by the poisonous fog can inflict a double blow on the opponent's vision and mental state.

He himself vanished from his spot in an instant and attacked Chrysanthemum Douluo from another direction.

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the colorful mist around him. When his vision was obstructed, he spread his perception to the maximum extent.

"These tricks are no match for me!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said calmly.

At the same time, the sixth spirit ring lit up.

Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Stamens Flowing with Rosy Clouds!

With a long roar, Chrysanthemum Douluo caused a giant golden chrysanthemum to rise beneath his feet, its countless petals fluttering and finally shooting out like a meteor shower toward the colorful poisonous mist.

Rumble!

In an instant, the ground was riddled with holes, cracks of all sizes, billowing smoke and dust, and gusts of air rose into the sky.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him and threw a punch. The force of the punch was like a ferocious green python tearing at him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's pupils dilated, and he hurriedly crossed his arms in front of him.

boom!

Chrysanthemum Douluo was forced to retreat more than ten feet under Dugu Bo's attack before he could stop.

In mid-air, Ghost Douluo, who was watching the battle with Qi Dao, showed a look of shock on his face.

In that brief exchange, Yue Guan was actually at a disadvantage!

When did the old poison master become so powerful?!

He used to be completely dominated by Yue Guan and couldn't fight back!
