"Zhuqing, go ahead and absorb your soul ring. With me here, you don't need to worry." Xu Yunhan transmitted telepathically to Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu. "Rongrong, Xiao Wu, you two guard Zhuqing while she absorbs her soul ring. It's just Dugu Bo; at worst, Rongrong's identity is here, and he wouldn't dare to truly act recklessly."
Ning Rongrong was about to reveal her background to make Dugu Bo wary, but Xu Yunhan's words made her hold back for now. She wanted to see if Xu Yunhan and Liu Erlong could handle Dugu Bo.
Moreover, who knew if the old monster would go crazy and kill them regardless, then destroy the bodies, so they might not be discovered, and he could get several soul bones.
"Tyrant Dragon Possession!"
"Dragon Arm!"
Liu Erlong also had a fiery temper. If Dugu Bo was being unreasonable, then they would fight. She immediately activated two defensive soul skills.
Visibly, Liu Erlong's entire body was covered in dragon scale armor.
"Oh, you've actually cultivated your dragon scales to cover your entire body, not bad." Dugu Bo's posture was arrogant, not really taking Liu Erlong seriously. "Come, let this old man witness your strength."
With that, Dugu Bo released his martial spirit. A phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor soared into the sky, carrying an overwhelming aura.
Although he underestimated Liu Erlong, Dugu Bo wouldn't fight a power-type Soul Douluo without using his martial spirit.
"Wrathful Thunder!"
Liu Erlong knew Dugu Bo's martial spirit, and that his strongest aspect was poison, so she didn't plan to get close, opting for long-range attacks.
Lightning and fire descended from the sky.
Dugu Bo's soul power formed an energy shield around him, blocking the falling lightning and fire. "Hmm, the power is decent."
"Bloodthirsty Blazing Flame!"
Liu Erlong used an even stronger soul skill, continuously probing Dugu Bo's strength.
Blood-red flames appeared beneath Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo stood motionless, simply defending with his soul power.
"A Titled Douluo's soul power is indeed formidable. But it won't be so easy to resist next."
"Fifth Soul Skill, Soaring Flames!"
A black soul ring flashed, and Liu Erlong activated her ten-thousand-year soul skill.
"Just a ten-thousand-year soul skill."
While he said this, Dugu Bo actually used more soul power to resist the surrounding Soaring Flames.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Bodyguard!"
After resisting for a while, Dugu Bo had no choice but to use a defensive soul skill, having underestimated Liu Erlong somewhat.
"Poison Douluo, is my soul skill not bad?"
Liu Erlong sneered, still continuously activating her soul skills.
"I didn't expect your fire attribute power to be quite strong!"
Dugu Bo frowned slightly. "But, this level shouldn't be able to harm this old man! Continue, let this old man see how strong your full power is!"
"Hmph!" Liu Erlong snorted coldly. "Eighth Soul Skill, Fire Dragon Descends!"
This was an eighty-thousand-year soul ring skill, with a soul ring year-limit similar to Dugu Bo's ninth soul ring.
A fire dragon appeared in the sky, letting out a dragon's roar towards Dugu Bo.
Feeling the pressure and fire attribute power from this fire dragon, Dugu Bo's frown deepened. "I did underestimate you somewhat."
Dugu Bo felt that Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Descends had power comparable to some Titled Douluo's ninth soul skills.
He believed Liu Erlong's eighth soul ring's year-limit was not low.
So, he began to get serious and pay close attention.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Dance!"
Dugu Bo finally used an offensive soul skill, and it was a ten-thousand-year one.
A massive emerald-green giant snake appeared in the air. The moment it emerged, it met the attacking fire dragon.
Suddenly, it escalated into a dragon-snake battle.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, the emperor among snakes, possessed immense soul power, and its might was on par with the fire dragon's.
Xu Yunhan, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu guarded Zhu Zhuqing, who was absorbing her soul ring, while simultaneously observing the battle.
Xu Yunhan was ready to assist Liu Erlong at any moment.
He didn't use his full mental power to attack Dugu Bo, partly because it wasn't the last moment yet, and partly because he wasn't sure if it could kill Dugu Bo or incapacitate him, so he needed to be cautious.
"Martial Spirit True Body!"
Liu Erlong used her seventh soul skill, instantly transforming into a fire dragon.
Then, she and the summoned fire dragon jointly dealt with Dugu Bo.
"Her martial spirit true body is actually in this state."
Dugu Bo suddenly felt a surge in pressure.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Time Solidification."
Dugu Bo's range for this soul skill could extend up to several thousand meters, but it consumed a huge amount of soul power. Here, he controlled the range, targeting only Liu Erlong, so the consumption wasn't as great.
Time Solidification was actually a type of poison that could rapidly "solidify" life within its range.
The fire dragon summoned by Liu Erlong resisted for a while before dissipating, mainly because it wasn't summoned while Liu Erlong was in her martial spirit true body state, so its strength was limited.
Liu Erlong, in her martial spirit true body state, managed to block "Time Solidification," dissolving it with her fire attribute power.
"Interesting."
Dugu Bo smiled. He wasn't planning to use his strongest ninth soul skill yet. Instead, he used his martial spirit true body: "Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"
A colossal Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor appeared, and Dugu Bo stood atop it, engaging in battle with Liu Erlong in her fire dragon state.
"A Soul Douluo's martial spirit true body can actually be almost on par with this old man's. You are truly impressive!"
Dugu Bo's expression changed. He felt that without using his ninth soul skill, it would be difficult to defeat Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong's combat power far exceeded Dugu Bo's imagination. "Eighth Soul Skill, Time Solidification!"
In his martial spirit true body state, Dugu Bo used his eighth soul skill again, its effect doubled.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor opened its mouth, spitting out a white light-like poison. The white light enveloped the fire dragon, continuously dissolving and suppressing its fire attribute power.
This time, Liu Erlong felt immense pressure.
She thought for a moment, then silently activated her soul bone skill, "Fire Dragon Transformation."
Instantly, Liu Erlong's strength and fire attribute power doubled.
The enhanced fire attribute power's effect was particularly noticeable, directly destroying the white light of "Time Solidification."
"Her fire attribute power suddenly doubled. Is this a soul bone skill?"
Dugu Bo was surprised. He hadn't expected Liu Erlong to have a soul bone. Coupled with the soul bone obtained from the soul beast they just killed, there were at least two soul bones here.
For a moment, Dugu Bo actually harbored killing intent. It was just that soul bones were too tempting.
There was no one else around. If he killed Liu Erlong and the others, then disposed of the bodies cleanly, it would be difficult for anyone to discover it was his doing.
No matter their background, as long as no one found out, their identities would be useless.
"He's harboring killing intent. He wants to kill us and steal the soul bones!"
Liu Erlong sneered, continuously attacking Dugu Bo.
"Courting death!"
At this moment, Liu Erlong's attack power was almost equal to Dugu Bo's. Dugu Bo felt she was already going all out, while he hadn't even used his ninth soul skill.
"Since you seek death, this old man shall grant it to you!"
"Ninth Soul Skill..."
Just as Dugu Bo was about to deliver a fatal blow.
Xu Yunhan made his move. A vertical eye appeared between his brows, then he condensed a mental attack and sent it towards Dugu Bo.
It was invisible and intangible.
Dugu Bo was fully engaged in battle with Liu Erlong, his mind concentrated, paying no attention to Xu Yunhan and the others.
Buzz!
Dugu Bo suddenly froze, then the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor in the air vanished, and his martial spirit true body state disappeared.
And he, directly fell to the ground, lifeless.
Xu Yunhan's full-power mental attack instantly killed the completely unprepared Dugu Bo, his spirit directly obliterated.
