Seeing Qian Daoliu's slightly disdainful expression, Bone Douluo curled his lips into a smirk.
Qian Daoliu, oh Qian Daoliu, I'm not Chen Xin.
He had only observed the combat techniques of Snow Empress and Di Tian through Tokisaki Kurumi's memories.
But Gu Rong was different.
What he had obtained were the Dark Devilgod Tiger's methods and insights into spatial and dark powers.
In terms of comprehension, his level surpassed that of Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
As his ninth soul skill, Bone Transformation Divine Dragon, charged toward Qian Daoliu at high speed, Bone Douluo utilized Split-Heart Control. Then, his ninth soul ring erupted with intense light once more.
"Ninth Soul Skill—Spatial Teleportation!"
Almost the moment Bone Douluo's voice fell, Sword Douluo's ninth soul skill, Divine Demon Twin Slash, and Bone Douluo's ninth soul skill, Bone Transformation Divine Dragon, vanished from Qian Daoliu's sight under the influence of the Dark Domain. Only a faint spatial tremor remained.
"What?!"
Qian Daoliu was abruptly startled.
By the time he realized it, it seemed a little too late.
Somehow, the two attacks had traversed the distance of space and appeared right in front of him, leaving him no time to mount a full defense.
The two ninth soul skill attacks, now point-blank, made Qian Daoliu feel as if needles were pricking his skin.
Qian Daoliu let out an angry laugh: "Good, good, good. I underestimated you. A 100,000-year soul ring grants two soul skills."
By now, Qian Daoliu had already figured it out—Gu Rong had used spatial abilities to perform a spatial jump with both his and Chen Xin's soul skills, shortening both the attack distance and time.
"Hmph, your coordination is indeed impressive, but…"
The Angelic Holy Sword in his hand burst into blazing flames.
"Angelic Holy Sword—Slash!"
The martial spirit behind Qian Daoliu erupted with dazzling radiance, and the sheer force of his soul power directly tore apart the combined domains of Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo.
A colossal angelic phantom swung down with a single strike.
A terrifying pressure erupted across the sky.
"Boom!"
The explosion's light engulfed Qian Daoliu's position. The sword energy he unleashed split the air in its path, creating a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the atmosphere.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were sent flying back by the terrifying sword energy, retreating dozens of meters before barely managing to stop. They slowly withdrew to Ning Fengzhi's side.
Bone Douluo wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed on the explosion's epicenter.
"How terrifying… It seems Qian Daoliu is still holding back a significant portion of his power."
"Uncle Bone, are you alright?" Ning Fengzhi asked with concern.
"No problem. It's not Qian Daoliu's attack that's the issue—it's the strain from teleporting Chen Xin's skill just now." Bone Douluo panted lightly.
Using two ninth soul skills in succession was no small drain.
The explosive energy continued to surge, its aftershocks spreading outward relentlessly.
Meanwhile, among the spectators watching from a distance—
Qian Renxue and the two Title Douluo.
"Chen Xin and Gu Rong… These two have actually reached such a level?" Qian Renxue's beautiful face showed clear astonishment.
Gu Rong might still be slightly weaker, but the impression Chen Xin gave her was that he might not be inferior to Golden Crocodile Grandpa or even that woman. Saying they were evenly matched wouldn't be an exaggeration.
With Ning Fengzhi's support, he's reached the peak of Rank 98?
As for Tang Hao—that guy was just plain unreasonable.
She Long and Ci Xue had already activated their soul power barriers to block the residual shockwaves surging toward them.
"Young Miss, to be honest, I don't think you can still subdue the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
Ci Xue wore a bitter smile as he watched the apocalyptic scene in the distance.
If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were already this strong, then what level must Tokisaki Kurumi—who even made Di Tian cough up blood—be at? No matter how prodigious Young Miss was, she was still only a Soul Sage!
"We'll take it one step at a time." Qian Renxue didn't get angry at his words, sighing instead. "I was too careless. Now, with the Clear Sky Clan preparing to re-emerge and all these powerful soul beasts appearing…"
"Grandfather came this time to ascertain the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's stance. Let's just observe for now."
"We may not necessarily be enemies with them. As for whether they know my identity… that remains to be seen."
"Ah… What a mess." She Long also let out a long sigh.
Not too far from Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong and Tokisaki Kurumi were secretly observing both Qian Renxue and the battle. Their auras were completely concealed by Tokisaki Kurumi's abilities.
Even the two Rank 92 Title Douluo beside Qian Renxue couldn't detect the slightest trace of them.
At the very least, as long as they didn't act, they wouldn't be discovered.
"Qian Daoliu's strength is greater than I expected." Ning Rongrong frowned slightly.
She had originally thought Qian Daoliu was only at the Demigod level, but it turned out he was at Quasi-God strength.
So-called Divine Servants were usually only at the Pseudo-God or Demigod level.
It was only due to divine blessings that they could reach Quasi-God under certain conditions.
For example, Qian Daoliu in his Angelic God Armor state possessed Quasi-God-level power.
As for whether he was at the peak of Quasi-God, Ning Rongrong wasn't entirely sure. Rumor had it that the Elder Hall still possessed an Angelic Holy Sword—perhaps combining it with the Angelic God Armor would make a difference, but that remained unclear.
Ning Rongrong could also tell that the Angelic Holy Sword Qian Daoliu was currently using was merely a soul power weapon condensed through his martial spirit.
It was similar to Sword Douluo's Myriad Swords Return to Origin, just far more solid and powerful.
"But a Quasi-God, huh…" Watching the gradually dissipating explosion, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a bit troubled. She turned to Tokisaki Kurumi, whose gaze was calm.
"Well? Confident?"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Tokisaki Kurumi first looked speechless, then rolled her eyes.
"It's not about whether I am confident—it's about whether you are." Tokisaki Kurumi said. "In his current state, Qian Daoliu still isn't a match for Di Tian."
"As for that so-called 'God Armor' you mentioned, I have no idea. Speaking of which, that God Armor—compared to Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi—grants divine power amplification."
The moment Bo Saixi was mentioned, Tokisaki Kurumi gritted her teeth.
Back when she had first arrived at Seagod Island, Bo Saixi had immediately charged at her in full God Armor, undoubtedly at the peak of Quasi-God strength.
Without even a moment's pause, she had thrust her trident down.
That scared the hell out of me!
Luckily, she had escaped quickly—otherwise, she'd have had to wait another eighteen years to be a cute girl again.
"By the way, Master, are you really sure about this?" Tokisaki Kurumi's tone carried a trace of worry. "Theoretically, it's feasible. The rules of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda belong to you, but in reality, a martial spirit is still a martial spirit. If you do this and something goes wrong…"
"Isn't part of the burden on you? I won't have any major issues."
"Uh…" Tokisaki Kurumi's face darkened.
Damn, you really don't treat me as human, do you? Worse than a slave.
Back when she was playing around, the strongest she encountered were just weak soul beasts.
Even among humans, the most she faced were Soul Sages or Soul Douluos, with the occasional Title Douluo being a rare occurrence.
But ever since meeting Ning Rongrong, not a single enemy had been simple—they were either on their way to Rank 99 or already at Rank 99 peak.
Not only was she an unpaid laborer, but she also had to worry about her employer's safety.
Ning Rongrong, you're a support-type soul master! Can't you just stay in the back and cheer?
Why do you have to go fight people head-on?
Ning Rongrong seemed to notice Tokisaki Kurumi's internal grumbling and smiled.
"Relax, I've got this. Besides, don't they still have that one move? Maybe they'll send Qian Daoliu running with his tail between his legs in one strike."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "…"
Do you even believe that yourself?
