Chapter 16: The Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Dugu Bo: Wait, who are you?

"Fine, it's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles; leave this Dugu Bo to me."

Jiangmo Douluo slowly stood up.

Dugu Bo had already arrived behind the two, his face cold and his tone icy as he said, "Do you two not know that this place is the territory of Poison Douluo?"

Jiangmo yawned and turned to face Dugu Bo with a lazy air: "Isn't this Sunset Forest a habitat for Soul Beasts? Since when did it become your territory, Dugu Bo?"

"Heh, it seems you two know full well this is my domain, yet you dare to trespass; you really are bold enough to defy the heavens!"

"Who do you take me, Dugu Bo, for!!"

"I! Am a Title Douluo!!"

As Dugu Bo roared, his aura surged, and a cold, sinister, massive green Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul appeared behind him, while nine rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—shimmered beneath his feet.

Dugu Bo was neither purely righteous nor evil; he was no saint, and his first reaction to anyone threatening him was to kill them.

His personality was as sinister and ruthless as a snake; he would not move, but once he did, he would go all out.

"You are tired of living to dare run wild on my turf!"

"Go to hell!"

Dugu Bo was full of bluster and domineering, instantly mobilizing his massive soul power to strike fiercely at Jiangmo Douluo, looking extremely badass and powerful.

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, revealed a look of admiration: "Grandpa! Finish them off!"

However, at this very moment.

The soul rings beneath Jiangmo Douluo's feet also appeared one by one: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—all nine rings emerged.

In his hand appeared a staff carved with dragon patterns.

This was the Panlong Staff, which sealed a Heaven Awakening Sacred Golden Dragon within it.

"What! A Title Douluo, such a powerful aura, who exactly is he..."

"This is bad!"

Dugu Bo was stunned, but it was already too late.

"A mere level 91 Title Douluo dares to act presumptuously before me, Jiangmo." Jiangmo Douluo smashed his staff down.

"Get lost!!"

Bang! Boom!

Pfft~!

"Ahhh~!"

The badass Dugu Bo was sent flying on the spot, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He was heavily injured by Jiangmo's staff and knocked to the ground!

"Grandpa, Grandpa!!!!" Dugu Yan was dumbfounded.

Dugu Bo:???????

What is going on?

I... I was heavily injured on the spot, unable to withstand a single blow?

I, a dignified Title Douluo, was heavily injured in one move?

Dugu Bo was also bewildered; he never imagined that the person before him would be this strong!

Wait, who are these two!

"Who exactly are you? I don't know how I, Dugu Bo, offended you two to warrant you coming here specifically to kill me." Dugu Bo knelt on one knee, his face pale and slightly fearful.

Jiangmo Douluo's eyes already held killing intent: "I am the Seventh Elder of the Spirit Hall, Jiangmo Douluo."

"You... you are Jiangmo Douluo!!"

Although these Offering Elders of the Spirit Hall had long since lived in seclusion.

But just because they were not in the world of martial arts did not mean there were no legends about them in the world.

Dugu Bo had heard of him and could feel Jiangmo Douluo's killing intent.

In an instant, the fear of death spread throughout his body; he wasn't too afraid of dying himself, but his granddaughter was still right there!

"Yan Yan! Run!!"

Dugu Bo's arrogant bluster vanished completely, his will to fight lost, and he immediately scrambled up from the ground, wanting to take Dugu Yan and flee.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy."

Jiangmo Douluo intercepted him.

Lin Yu did not yet know that a fight had broken out outside; at this moment, he had finished absorbing the Immortal Herb, and his body and constitution had received an unprecedented boost.

Under the effects of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, his soul power had also increased somewhat, reaching the peak of level 18. (Let me emphasize again, the Eight-Petaled and Ice and Fire herbs are for strengthening the constitution; they do not have the effect of consolidating the foundation or increasing soul power—this is the original setting.)

Lin Yu did not plan to leave just yet, but instead prepared to swim to the deepest part of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to investigate.

"The bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are buried beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; those were the nine great Dragon Kings of the God Realm back then!"

"If it is true that Ten Thousand Year Level Soul Beasts must yield a soul bone, then the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings are highly likely to produce a God-level Spirit Bone. If that is the case, absorbing it would surely be a great help before I become a god!"

Lin Yu dove five hundred meters deep in one breath; it was already pitch black all around.

It also seemed bottomless.

As he continued to swim downward, first, he was unable to withstand the intense pressure in the water.

Second, it was at this moment that Lin Yu discovered an energy layer blocking his path.

It prevented him from continuing to dive further.

"As expected, with my current strength, wanting to covet the bones of the divine dragons is ultimately too early. I shall wait until I am stronger before trying again."

Lin Yu temporarily abandoned the thought and quickly swam back to the surface.

Pfft~!

When he rushed out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he saw at a glance that Dugu Bo was being mercilessly beaten by Jiangmo Douluo.

Facing the peak level 96 Title Douluo Jiangmo, Dugu Bo, who only had level 91 soul power, was far from being his match no matter how hard he tried!

Every level of soul power in the Title Douluo realm has a huge difference, especially the gap between level 95 and level 96, which is an insurmountable chasm.

Dugu Bo was quickly beaten to a pulp, and with one strike of Jiangmo's staff, he was forced to his knees on the ground on the spot.

Bang!

Pfft~

"Urgh," fresh blood streamed from the corners of Dugu Bo's mouth as he knelt on the ground, looking up at Jiangmo, who was preparing to release his Fifth Soul Skill.

It felt like Mount Tai pressing down on his head, making him feel deeply desperate.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Jiangmo Panlong Strike!"

Dugu Yan cried out: "No! Don't! Grandfather!!"

"Is it possible that I, Dugu Bo, am going to die here so inexplicably today?" Looking at the overwhelmingly powerful Title Douluo Jiangmo in the sky, Dugu Bo also wore a look of despair.

Just as Dugu Bo was certain he would die.

A youthful voice rang out not far away.

"Wait!"

"Grandpa Jiangmo, please show mercy!"

Title Douluo Jiangmo, who was in the middle of attacking, immediately withdrew his power upon hearing the voice.

Lin Yu arrived in time and said to Title Douluo Jiangmo: "Grandpa Jiangmo, we don't necessarily have to kill Dugu Bo."

"Little Yu, if this person is not removed, he will surely be a hidden danger in the future!"

Lin Yu naturally knew that Dugu Bo was a big problem, even though he was known by people from Blue Star as the weakest Title Douluo.

But there was a saying about him: Dugu Bo couldn't beat a single Title Douluo, but he could poison the enemy until only Title Douluos were left.

Although it was a bit of an exaggeration.

However, in the original work, during the Battle of Jialing Pass.

Dugu Bo used his Eighth Soul Skill in conjunction with his Ninth Soul Skill to poison hundreds of thousands of soldiers within Jialing Pass in a short period, thereby becoming legendary in one battle.

Keeping such a character alive was indeed a hidden danger.

But!

Lin Yu said: "Grandpa Jiangmo, the way to resolve a hidden danger is not necessarily to kill him; it can also be to persuade him to surrender."

Qianjun and Jiangmo did not think highly of this move; in their view, Dugu Bo would not sincerely surrender to the Spirit Hall.

Qianjun shook his head and said: "Little Yu, even if we use forceful means to win Dugu Bo over, he will not sincerely serve our Spirit Hall, and he might even turn against us in the future."
