Tang Xiao and Dugu Bo looked at the defeated Sword Douluo Chen Xin. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes. Their faces became pale at the same time. But before they could speak, Gold Crocodile Douluo looked at them and spoke with a cold laugh. What are you two looking at? Only the two of you can still stand and fight. Don't say this old man is bullying the young. You should just come at me together.
Sword Douluo was already hurt very badly and could not fight anymore. If Tang Xiao and Dugu Bo decided to run away now, every single person behind them would die. They had no choice. Only by fighting with everything they had could they hope to find a small chance to change this bad situation.
Tang Xiao wanted to clear his mind of all bad thoughts, so he let out a loud shout that sounded like thunder. Poison Douluo, you and I must work together now. Let us test the power of this Second Worshipful Elder of Spirit Hall. He knew very well that he could never win against Gold Crocodile Douluo alone. His only choice was to fight alongside Dugu Bo to keep the enemy busy.
Dugu Bo let out a dark and scary laugh when he heard those words. His green eyes flashed with a cold light. The green poison mist around his body began to bubble like boiling water. He did not wait and started the first attack. This was the start of a terrible battle.
Seventh Spirit Ability, Jade Phosphor Divine Dragon True Body.
Dugu Bo gave a low shout as his body began to twist and grow large. In just a second, he changed into a massive green dragon that was many meters long. His new body was covered with bright green scales that looked like real jewels.
The giant dragon flew up into the sky while the poison mist moved around like the waves of the sea. The dragon opened its mouth and blew a blast of dark green poison fire. This fire was very dense and had a strong poison that could destroy a person's soul. The green fire moved fast toward Gold Crocodile Douluo.
At the same time, Tang Xiao ran forward very fast like a giant rock shot from a weapon. He used the special skill of the Clear Sky Sect called the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method. But he knew that his enemy was too strong. The old man would not give him the time he needed to build up the power of his hammer. Tang Xiao became angry and determined, and his eighth spirit ring began to shine with bright light.
Eighth Spirit Ability, Clear Sky Collapse Strike.
In the next moment, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hands did not grow larger. Instead, the dark light around the hammer went inside it. It looked as if a large amount of spirit power was squeezed into a small space. Old red lines appeared on the head of the hammer.
Tang Xiao jumped high up into the air and put all his spirit power and desire to fight into this one attack. He swung the heavy hammer down toward the head of Gold Crocodile Douluo with the strength to break a mountain. This attack was made to break the strongest defense by using great power.
Gold Crocodile Douluo looked at the attacks coming from two sides and laughed with scorn. A look of hate appeared in his yellow eyes. You are just two funny clowns. Today, this old man will show you the real power of a ninety-eighth-level Titled Douluo.
He did not even use his ninth spirit skill to stop them. He only made his fifth and sixth spirit rings shine one after the other. His ninth spirit ring was red, which meant it was a very rare one-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
Fifth Spirit Skill, Crocodile God Armor.
A thick armor made of old golden energy covered his whole body. This armor had patterns that looked like ancient scales. The green poison fire hit the golden armor and made a loud sizzling sound. However, the poison fire could not melt the armor quickly.
Sixth Spirit Ability, Berserk Gold Crocodile.
Gold Crocodile Douluo used his sixth spirit skill, and the giant shadow of a golden crocodile tail behind him became solid. It looked like the tail of a real god crocodile. The tail moved with a sharp sound that seemed to cut the air. It swung sideways first to hit the poison fire that Dugu Bo sent.
The great force of the tail blew away most of the poison fire. The small amount of fire that was left was stopped by the Crocodile God Armor. The golden tail did not stop moving. It changed its direction from bottom to top in a strange way to meet the heavy hammer of Tang Xiao.
A sound that was louder and more scary than before filled the air. The red lines on the Clear Sky Hammer shone brightly because they wanted to destroy everything. But the shadow of the crocodile tail was too hard. Small black lines appeared in the air where they hit, and these lines spread out like a broken window.
Tang Xiao felt a huge power come from the handle of his hammer. The bones in his arms made a loud cracking sound, and he tasted blood in his mouth. The strong force threw his body up into the air, and the power of his hammer disappeared completely.
Gold Crocodile Douluo laughed again when he saw this. A mere ninety-sixth-level Titled Douluo wants to act brave in front of this old man. His body paused for a brief second before he jumped forward. He aimed his next attack straight at Tang Xiao, who was still in the air and could not move or defend himself.
Tang Xiao saw the old man coming toward him so fast. His face became dark, and he used his strength to turn his body in the air. Poison Douluo, help me now.
Head Spirit Bone Skill, Medusa's Gaze.
Dugu Bo heard the call for help. The giant green dragon opened its mouth wide. It did not spit fire this time. Instead, a bright white light shot out from its green eyes. This white light was very thick and looked solid. The light did not have any heat, but it could turn energy into solid stone. It shot toward the back of Gold Crocodile Douluo very fast, trying to make him stop his attack and defend himself.
Gold Crocodile Douluo did not even turn around to look. This is just a child's game. He moved his left hand backward and made a small shield out of golden scales. The white light hit the small shield and made a strange sound. The golden light on the shield moved up and down, and a small hole appeared on it. The hole turned to stone, but the white light could not pass through the shield.
At the same time, the right hand of Gold Crocodile Douluo moved with the sound of wind and thunder. His fist was right in front of Tang Xiao.
Seventh Spirit Ability, Clear Sky Avatar.
Tang Xiao had no place to run or hide. He did not hold back any of his power. His black seventh spirit ring became very bright. He used his Martial Soul True Body and changed into a giant person. He used his Clear Sky Hammer to block the attack.
The fist of the old man hit the giant hammer with a loud sound. The giant form of Tang Xiao shook violently. After only one second, Tang Xiao was thrown backward through the air with his hammer. The black light on his giant form became dark, and blood came out from his mouth.
Dugu Bo saw this and his face changed. This is bad, Titled Douluo Xiao.
Fifth Spirit Skill, Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart.
Dugu Bo moved his long dragon tail. Thousands of green poison needles that were as thin as hair shot toward the body of Gold Crocodile Douluo like a heavy rain.
But the Crocodile God Armor around Gold Crocodile Douluo shone with a bright golden light. Most of the thin needles fell off when they hit the armor. The few needles that went inside could not go deep enough to hurt him. The old man did not care about these small attacks. He moved like a shadow to chase Tang Xiao. His fifth spirit ring shone again, and his hands moved so fast that they looked like many hands in the sky.
Fourth Spirit Skill, Thousand-Fold Crocodile Wave Palm.
Each of his hand attacks was as heavy as a big mountain. The attacks came one after another without stopping, covering Tang Xiao completely.
Tang Xiao could only swing his Clear Sky Hammer very fast to create a wall of defense. He tried his best to stay alive. Every time he blocked a hit, he had to take a step back. The blood inside his body felt hot and wild.
Dugu Bo tried to help Tang Xiao by moving around the old man. He used his poison mist, poison fire, and needles to disturb Gold Crocodile Douluo. He even tried to catch the old man with his dragon body. But the power of Gold Crocodile Douluo was too great. The old man would break free with just a small movement of his body. He would hit Dugu Bo back with his hand or his tail.
The battle became a complete defeat for the two men. Gold Crocodile Douluo was fighting two strong enemies by himself, but he had the upper hand. He looked very relaxed while doing it. His way of fighting was simple and worked well. He used his great power and strong defense along with his spirit skills. This allowed him to stop the proud power of Tang Xiao and the bad poison of Dugu Bo.
Tang Xiao and Dugu Bo worked together well, but they could do nothing against a person who was much stronger than them. The attacks of Tang Xiao could not hurt the defense of the old man, and he kept receiving bad hits.
The poison of Dugu Bo needed more time to work, but he did not have that time. He had to spend all his energy jumping away from the attacks of Gold Crocodile Douluo.
A single normal hit from the old man could hurt him badly. The spirit power of the two men was running out very fast. They felt more afraid and helpless as the fight went on, and they were losing.
If things continued like this, it would not take long for them to lose completely. They would end up just like Sword Douluo, or they might even die much faster.
But at that moment, a cold energy appeared from the far side of the imperial palace. This energy carried the feeling of life and death, and it was moving fast toward the edge of the palace.
The battle did not stop, and the spirit power in the air looked like boiling water. As time passed, the giant green dragon form of Dugu Bo showed a small slow movement. This happened when he was trying to rest for a short second after spitting out his poison mist.
A normal Titled Douluo might not see this small mistake. But Gold Crocodile Douluo had fought in many battles throughout his long life. His instincts were perfect, so this small mistake was enough for him.
He took advantage of that short second. His big body moved with a scary speed that did not match his size. He became very close to Dugu Bo in an instant. The golden crocodile tail behind him moved like a part of his own body. He swung it hard without any extra movement. This time, the tail went straight for the weak side of Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo saw this and his eyes grew wide with fear. This is bad. He only had enough time to call back his poison mist to cover his body for protection.
A loud and heavy sound echoed through the area. It sounded like a giant hammer hitting hard leather. The golden tail hit the middle of the green dragon body directly. The force of the hit blew away the protective poison mist instantly. The hard green scales where the tail hit broke into pieces and went inward.
Dugu Bo let out a loud cry of pain. His giant dragon form was thrown away like a small fish hit by a big beast. He flew sideways and could not stop himself. His body became smaller in the air and changed back into his human form.
He fell hard onto the broken ground many meters away. A large cloud of dust and smoke rose into the air like a mushroom. The ground broke and formed a deep hole. Dugu Bo lay at the bottom of the hole. His face looked as yellow as paper, and the spirit power around his body was very weak and messy. He was hurt badly and could not stand up to fight anymore.
