LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 60: chapter 60
"Old poison, your poison may work on me, but you're too naive to deal with this old ghost" Yue Guan mocked, seeing that his best friend, Ghost Douluo, had the upper hand. He then sat down to recover his soul power, hoping to expel the poison while continuing to taunt Dugu Bo.
Although Dugu Bo was enraged, he knew that Yue Guan was right. Ghost Douluo's speed was far too fast, and he could not focus his poison effectively. If he wanted to strike, it would have to be with area-effect poison. But, the spread-out poison wasn't concentrated enough to harm the Titled Douluo.
'ghost, chrysanthemum, if it were before, facing the two of you at the same time I might have had to surrender But now, I have the treasure given to me by the little monster' Dugu Bo growled. He was getting tired of being suppressed and decided it was time to use his trump card.
With a flip of his hand, Dugu Bo took a flower from his Ruyi Treasure Bag and used it as a vessel to spread his Green Scaled Snake King Poison in all directions.
"Is that the Snow Swan Kiss?" When Yue Guan saw the flower his heart sank and fear took over his expression. He instantly stopped recovering his soul power and shouted "Old ghost, retreat quickly! That thing is extremely dangerous!"
The Snow Swan Kiss was a flower of unimaginable danger Only a few people in the world, aside from Jun Tianlin and Tang San, could recognize it. One of them was Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the breaking Clan, known for his obsession with refining medicine. The other was Yue Guan, who, due to his immortal-grade martial soul, had researched other immortal-grade herbs.
"What?" Ghost Douluo asked startled by Yue Guan's reaction. Having fought alongside Yue Guan for many years and he had no reason to doubt him. He immediately halted his attack and withdrew from the poisonous area.
Once they retreated, it became clear to both of them that Dugu Bo's poison had spread far and wide. The concentration was just as strong, if not stronger, than when he had focused it solely on Yue Guan. Within seconds, the area within a hundred meters of Dugu Bo had turned into a wasteland. Had they been in that spot just moments ago, they would have been poisoned.
"Old poison, how did you get the Snow Swan Kiss?" Yue Guan demanded shocked that such a dangerous item had ended up in Dugu Bo's hands.
"The Snow Swan Kiss is useless to most people, but in my hands, it's like a divine weapon" Dugu Bo sneered
"Haha, chrysanthemum, you're scared, right? Today, I'll settle all our old and new grudges" Dugu Bo taunted as he raised the Snow Swan Kiss and prepared to unleash his most terrifying attack. "Ninth soul skill, Jade Scale Divine Light!"
With a flash, Dugu Bo launched his strongest skill, amplifying it with the Snow Swan Kiss. The power behind it was so overwhelming that it could destroy a city in an instant. Now, with the Snow Swan Kiss augmenting his attack, Dugu Bo was capable of annihilating everything in his path.
Dugu Bo had carefully chosen this desolate area as the battlefield to avoid causing unnecessary destruction to others. However, he had not unleashed the full medicinal power of the Snow Swan Kiss. He had only used a portion of it to increase his toxin's potency by five times, as he feared the consequences of unleashing its full power. The Snow Swan Kiss could potentially obliterate everything including himself and turn the entire Sunset Forest into a poisonous wasteland.
"Old ghost, attack together, or we won't stand a chance" Yue Guan shouted as he activated his ninth soul skill "Ninth spirit skill: The chrysanthemums are withered, the ground is full of wounds, and the fallen flowers are heartbroken!"
"Nine soul skill, Hell Monster!" Ghost Douluo added summoning numerous spirits for a deadly, suicidal attack.
The strongest moves from the two Titled Douluo collided with Dugu Bo's Jade Scale Divine Light, but the result was shocking. Despite their higher level, the two Titled Douluo were still overwhelmed by Dugu Bo's power.
"Yue Guan, what exactly is that flower? The Green Scale Divine Light doesn't have this kind of power," Ghost Douluo asked confused.
"There's no time to explain, old ghost!" Yue Guan replied blood beginning to seep from the corners of his mouth "Increase your soul power output, or we're all dead."
Yue Guan was already at his limit and with his soul power drained and his martial soul corroded He could barely hold on.
Dugu Bo realizing his advantage focused his poison on Yue Guan's already weakened martial soul. The corrosion accelerated and the once-glowing chrysanthemum was now withered its petals turning green, drained of life.
"Old ghost, I can't do this anymore. You better run away" Yue Guan said his voice weak "That old poison has the Snow Swan Kiss We can't win."
"Don't talk nonsense, we still have one final move" Ghost Douluo said determined. He refused to give up without a fight. But before they could act Dugu Bo's poison enveloped them both However, in that moment, the eighteen soul rings of Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo combined forming a barrier that stopped the poison in its tracks.
"Is this the martial soul fusion skill, the Forbidden Area of the Two Poles?" Dugu Bo scoffed watching the barrier "This move is powerful, but it can't last. Let's see how long you can hold out."
Dugu Bo continued to pour his soul power into the attack He was certain that eventually Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo would fall.
"Enough Dugu Bo!" Ghost Douluo shouted realizing the danger they were in "We lose this time. Stop now, or you'll be hunted by the entire Spirit Hall!"
"Haha, do you think I'm afraid of the Spirit Hall? With the Snow Swan Kiss in my hands, I fear nothing—not even the Pope herself!" Dugu Bo laughed maniacally oblivious to the dangers of underestimating Spirit Hall.
"You're not afraid of direct battles, but what about sneak attacks?" Ghost Douluo taunted striking at Dugu Bo's weakness "You're a control-type soul master If they send agile attack-type Titled Douluo to target you, what then? You won't have time to use the flower And don't forget you have a granddaughter."
Dugu Bo hesitated While he was unafraid of direct conflict the Spirit Hall's agility-type Titled Douluo could pose a real threat and not to mention, the consequences of attacking the Spirit Hall now might bring ruin upon his granddaughter.
"Alright," Dugu Bo said reluctantly conceding "I'll let you go, but in return, I want two soul bones. Give them to me, and all grudges between us will be wiped clean."
"Fine," Ghost Douluo and Yue Guan agreed without hesitation swearing to hand over the two soul bones within a month. They knew that no matter how precious a soul bone was, it couldn't compare to their lives.
Dugu Bo finally withdrew his poison Ghost Douluo and Yue Guan fled as fast as they could unwilling to risk Dugu Bo going back on his word.
As they ran Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh Finally after years of humiliation he had triumphed over Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo settling all old scores in one fell swoop.
