...
While people on the ground were chatting idly, the epic dragon battle in the sky had already reached its climax.
"boom--!"
It was another intense head-on collision, with violent energy exploding in the clouds.
Yu Yuanzhen, in his blue thunder dragon form, steadied himself in mid-air, his enormous dragon eyes filled with barely concealed fear.
After this fierce battle, he was shocked to discover that although the Azure Dragon Emperor, the incarnation of the old poison master Dugu Bo, was slightly inferior to him in terms of burst speed, in terms of pure physical strength and soul power foundation, he was actually almost the same as him, a veteran level 95 peak Douluo!
"What kind of magic pills did that old poisoner take?!"
Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth, intending to mobilize all his soul power and unleash a more destructive thunder soul skill to suppress his opponent.
However, when his peripheral vision inadvertently swept down, his expression suddenly changed drastically!
During the intense collision, the emerald green poisonous mist that had been spreading around Dugu Bo was now like a thick cloud, uncontrollably sinking and spreading towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's base below!
That's the natal poison of a level 95 Poison Douluo! If this thing falls into a crowd, it will be an instant death for those ordinary sect disciples with low cultivation levels!
"Stop! Stop—!"
Yu Yuanzhen felt a chill run down his spine.
He no longer cared about the outcome of the sparring match and hurriedly forcibly gathered the lightning power that was about to erupt.
The huge dragon body suddenly stopped and retreated in mid-air.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stop, Dugu Bo, the enormous Azure Dragon Emperor, hovered in the clouds, a sly glint in his deep green vertical pupils.
He deliberately feigned ignorance, grumbling, "Why did you stop fighting?
I haven't had my fill yet. Is the mighty Thunder Douluo already so weak?"
"Bullshit!"
Enraged, Yu Yuanzhen cursed, transforming into human form and hovering in mid-air.
Pointing at the churning, sinking poisonous fog below, he roared, "You old poisoner, have you no shame?!
If you keep fighting, are you planning to slaughter all the thousands of people in my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with this sky full of poisonous fog?!"
Faced with Yu Yuanzhen's rage, Dugu Bo also deactivated his Martial Soul True Form, reverting to his original slender appearance.
He spread his hands and sighed innocently, "Sect Master Yu, you've misunderstood me.
I was forced into this situation! You are a level 95 Thunder Douluo who is renowned throughout the continent.
Your strength is terrifying. In order to fight you head-on with all my might, I naturally had to focus all my energy on the battle.
It's inevitable that I would neglect the precise control of the poison around my body."
Dugu Bo looked at Yu Yuanzhen with a smile, "If you have to blame someone, you can only blame your sect leader Yu for being too strong, forcing this old man to not be able to concentrate."
"you--!"
Hearing these shameless remarks of taking advantage and then acting innocent, Yu Yuanzhen's finger trembled as he pointed at Dugu Bo, feeling extremely aggrieved!
If this were any remote wilderness, Yu Yuanzhen would fight to the death to prove himself against this old poisoner!
He was absolutely confident that, with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus's unparalleled attack power, he would be the one to win in the end.
But this happens to be the headquarters of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!
If he continues to fight so recklessly, even if he eventually defeats Dugu Bo, all the descendants of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will probably be melted into a pool of blood by the poisonous gas released by this old poisoner!
Left with no other choice, even though Yu Yuanzhen was seething with anger, for the safety of the sect, he had to grit his teeth and swallow his pride, angrily withdrawing his Martial Soul True Body and ending the sparring match.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen stop, Dugu Bo also knew when to stop.
With a wave of his sleeve, he absorbed all the green phosphorus poison mist into his body and then floated back to the ground.
Yu Yuanzhen landed with a bang, his body radiating an uncontrollable, violent aura of thunder. Before he could even react, Ning Fengzhi, dressed in elegant white robes, greeted him with a gentle smile, cupping his hands in a polite greeting:
"Sect Master Yu, it's been a long time.
How have you been?"
Normally, Yu Yuanzhen would at least have considered the feelings of the three upper sects and exchanged a few polite words.
But at this moment, he was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent his anger at Dugu Bo's rogue fighting style, so he had no mind for politeness.
"Sect Leader Ning, stop with the pleasantries!" Yu Yuanzhen interrupted him coldly, his gaze sweeping over Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong with hostility.
"What exactly does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School want to do by making such a big show of itself here today?
Surely... you didn't come here specifically to sabotage my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's territory, did you?"
Ning Fengzhi remained unperturbed, maintaining his gentle and refined demeanor, and explained calmly, "Sect Master Yu has misunderstood.
Xuan Hao is just young and impetuous, and admires your sect's reputation as the number one beast martial spirit in the world.
He impulsively came to seek guidance.
If he has offended anyone, I hope Sect Master Yu will be magnanimous and not take offense."
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, also crossed his arms and chimed in sarcastically,
"That's right, Old Dragon Head.
He's just a kid in his teens at most. You're almost a hundred years old, half your body is in the ground.
You can't be so narrow-minded as to argue with a child, can you?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was so angry that his nose almost twisted out of shape.
He flung his sleeves and laughed angrily, "So it was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that got its gate blocked and its territory smashed up today!
My men were beaten, my face was trampled on, and now you're saying it's my fault?!"
"Sect Master Yu, you flatter me. It is certainly not your fault."
Ning Fengzhi remained calm and composed, speaking in the gentlest tone with the most cutting words, "However, since Xuan Hao is here to spar, this is simply a matter of youthful competitiveness.
As the head of a sect and an elder among elders, if you were to personally step into the fray and fight a teenager over such a trivial matter, it would indeed be beneath your dignity if word got out, wouldn't you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's facial muscles twitched violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
He almost couldn't help but point at Ning Fengzhi's nose and curse him on the spot.
Young people?!
Can this guy even be called a young person?!
"Ning Fengzhi, stop talking nonsense!"
Yu Yuan was furious and pointed at Xuan Hao, who was standing aside watching the show, and shouted, "He is a teenager, that's true!
If you let someone his age fight him, the teenagers of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are at most Soul Venerables of level 30!"
"But what about this little monster?!
He's already level 70!
How are those teenagers in my sect supposed to fight him?!
With their heads?!"
Gu Rong curled his lip and offered a suggestion with an air of matter-of-fact:
"Since you can't beat someone your own age, then match them according to their cultivation level.
He's level 70, so why don't you send out a level 70 Soul Saint from your sect to fight him?
Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is a large and powerful family, surely you can't even gather a few Soul Saints, right?"
"Gu Rong! Are you deliberately here to cause trouble?!"
Yu Yuanzhen could no longer hold back.
The level 88 Yu Luomian had just been blasted away by this kid with a single punch, and now Gu Rong was casually telling him to send a level 70 Soul Saint to fight him.
Is this supposed to be a friendly sparring match?
This is clearly sending Soul Saints from the sect to line up and die, to be this kid's punching bag to rack up his battle points!
