Chapter 562: If I Unleash My Full Power, You Will Die

"My position is the same as his? That's not right, is it?"

Qin Jian crossed his arms: "If I remember correctly, he was beaten by me twice, and last time at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, he lost face again... Where does this talk of a shared position come from?"

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Because you are the fiancé of Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you should logically be on the side of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Xue Beng deduced that the Sect Master Ning also has designs on the Heaven Dou Empire, so you have a common enemy, which is Xue Qinghe."

"My younger brother is truly clever to have been able to disguise himself for so long," Xue Qinghe said leisurely, arms crossed.

Dugu Bo continued: "Among the three parties vying to inherit the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe has the greatest influence. Only by getting rid of him will Xue Beng and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have a chance; that is his reasoning."

"Why would he think my influence is the greatest?"

Xue Qinghe smiled inscrutably: "Xue Beng has you behind him, and Ning Rongrong has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect behind her; I, on the other hand, look the most vulnerable. If Qin Jian weren't by my side right now, I might have already been assassinated."

Dugu Bo looked at her and said: "You have a mysterious Title Douluo protecting you from the shadows, and there is only one day each year when they are not around. And that Title Douluo's strength is clearly far greater than mine."

Xue Qinghe breathed a secret sigh of relief.

As long as Xue Beng and the others still didn't know his true identity, then the problem wasn't too big.

This year, as Emperor Xueye's illness worsened, the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire had become obscure and confusing, and even he found it hard to see all the changes clearly.

And Dugu Bo's appearance tonight meant that the daggers were finally being drawn; what followed would be a real battle with blades and spears, and those hiding beneath the water would all step onto the stage.

"Actually, isn't Qin Jian the one with the greatest power?"

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "He has many identities; he is not only the fiancé of Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but also the Chief Judge of the Spirit Hall. With his support, one has basically already won half the battle."

Dugu Bo nodded and said: "That's right. Xue Beng's argument is that even if you can't win Qin Jian over, you must try your best to secure his neutrality, even if it means threatening his life."

"Threatening my life?"

Qin Jian interjected: "Is Senior Dugu Bo really going to make a move against me?"

"No, this old man is not so ungrateful as to forget a kindness..."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back: "I also told Xue Beng that you have done me a favor, and I will not lay a hand on you, so he suggested that I use Xue Qinghe to threaten you."

He pointed to Xue Qinghe below and said: "Either I kill her, or you remain neutral and stop supporting anyone."

"You really do value me highly, to actually be willing to give up on killing Qinghe..."

Qin Jian said: "He is also worried that I will completely stand on the side of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and oppose him, right?"

"Not bad. In fact, he never expected this attack to actually finish off Xue Qinghe, because that wouldn't improve his situation. His greatest hope is to force you into neutrality," said Dugu Bo.

Xue Qinghe shook his head below and smiled: "My fourth brother actually thought of the same thing as me. In the current situation of Heaven Dou, whoever gets Qin Jian gets the world."

Qin Jian: "......"

"This is the first time I've realized I'm so important..."

He sighed with his hands on his hips: "It's a pity that Qinghe is still one step ahead. I have already promised her and made an agreement, so my position will not change again."

Dugu Bo frowned: "You firmly support Xue Qinghe? Then what about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Since it's time to lay our cards on the table, I won't hide it anymore. Let's be blunt..."

Qin Jian spread his hands: "I am neutral between Xue Qinghe and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I am in opposition to Xue Beng. So, Senior Dugu, you should go back and tell Xue Beng to prepare early; I will not stand with him."

Dugu Bo said helplessly: "Must you really oppose Xue Beng? This child may seem like a playboy, but he's actually not a bad person."

"This isn't a question of whether he's a good person or not. Many times, hostility is simply due to one's position."

Qin Jian also sighed helplessly: "Just like you and I, Senior Dugu, we clearly have no need to fight, but aren't we currently on opposite sides?"

"After all, I have been an Honorary Elder for so long and have received many benefits; I cannot retreat at this critical moment."

Dugu Bo signaled to Qin Jian: "Come, let us spar again. If you can still stop me from capturing Xue Qinghe, then I can consider that I've done my best."

You old man are holding back so much in a fight; Xue Beng choosing to make you an Honorary Elder is truly...

Qin Jian almost laughed out loud.

It was very obvious that Dugu Bo was just going through the motions and had no intention of risking his life to help Xue Beng fight for the throne.

"To be honest, Senior Dugu, if I unleash my full power, you will die." He spread his hands.

Fusing with Na'er to fight Qian Daoliu was very strenuous, but fighting Dugu Bo was simply bullying.

"Although you have many miraculous aspects, don't underestimate a Title Douluo too much..."

Being looked down upon like this at his age, one can imagine Dugu Bo's mood.

"Even if you can be immune to poison, you cannot block the crushing power of a Title Douluo himself!"

Before his voice had faded, his Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor martial soul soared into the sky, biting down toward Qin Jian like a giant dragon.

This was not the hasty strike from just a moment ago, but the full-force attack of a Title Douluo.

"Hum hum hum..."

Qin Jian's expression tightened; his soul rings fused together completely, and he pointed the Silver Dragon Spear toward the sky.

"Ring Fusion... My Body as a Sword!"

It had been a long time since he had unleashed his full Sword Qi. After obtaining his Seventh Spirit Ability, the Spirit Avatar, Qin Jian used this move once again.

"Boom!"

A majestic Sword Qi surged into the sky from the Silver Dragon Spear, and as Qin Jian slashed down, it suddenly struck the head of the Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor.

"Boom—!"

The violent impact nearly overturned the entire building, sending various stone fragments flying, forcing Xue Qinghe to dodge repeatedly while watching the sky with burning eyes.

With the full-force outburst of a level 77 Qin Jian, this strength exceeded his imagination.

Immune to Dugu Bo's poison, and with an explosive power capable of resisting a Title Douluo, Qin Jian was now able to trade blows with the weakest of Title Douluos.

After the impact, Dugu Bo's face was dark, feeling as if his old face had been slapped repeatedly.

Having lived for more than half a lifetime, to end up being fought to a draw by a 19-year-old junior, this matter was truly vexing...

"Kid, if you can block this move, I will retreat!"

Dugu Bo's head was suddenly covered by a soul bone, and the eyes of the Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor turned stone-gray: "Soul Bone Skill! Medusa's Gaze!"

"Qin Jian, be careful!" Xue Qinghe couldn't help but warn him.

Qin Jian almost cursed out loud.

This guy actually even used a soul bone; he is simply shameless...

"Na'er... Fusion!"

After finishing his one-wave burst of Ring Fusion, he had no choice but to fuse with Na'er.

And then...

"Boom!"

The spear radiance of the Silver Dragon Spear covered the sky and earth, devoid of any technique, directly slamming into the beam emitted by the Medusa's Gaze.

One force overcomes ten thousand techniques!

The spear radiance pierced through the gaze and smashed into Dugu Bo with the force of a bamboo being split.

"Whoosh..."

The weakest Title Douluo turned into a star on the horizon...
