Chapter 81

"Ha, you think you can hurt someone in my hands with such a petty trick!?"

Gui Bao Douluo looked on with disdain, neutralizing all the ambushing attacks with his own strength alone.

The next second!

A large number of assassins surged out.

"Kill!!!"

All the assassins surrounded them from all directions—above, below, left, and right.

"Hmph! Seeking death!"

"Seventh Spirit Skill, Gui Bao True Body!"

"Roar!"

Gui Bao Douluo decisively activated his Martial Soul True Body state, intending to start a massacre.

"Die!"

Splat!

The Gui Bao killed two Spirit Emperors in one strike.

He protected the area around Lin Yu and Qian Renxue, killing every assassin Spirit Master that charged in.

"Attack!"

The two assassin leaders from Xingluo and Heaven Dou exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their Martial Souls and Martial Soul True Bodies.

"Oh? There are actually two Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses?" Gui Bao Douluo's expression tightened.

It wasn't that he couldn't protect them because of the Spirit Douluos, but it meant the severity of the situation had exceeded his expectations.

"It seems Lin Yu's premonition was indeed correct, but what exactly could have brought about an assassin group of this scale?"

Gui Bao Douluo once again used his formidable power to block the joint attack of the Spirit Douluos.

He fought fiercely against a large number of assassins above the Spirit King level while protecting the others.

"You rats! Do you dare to state your names!" As Gui Bao Douluo killed them, he tried to uncover the identities and backgrounds of these black-clad assassins.

But no matter how Gui Bao Douluo pressed them, these assassins did not reveal a single piece of information.

Soon, the number of assassins who died at Gui Bao Douluo's hands exceeded twenty; if he didn't have to simultaneously protect Lin Yu and Qian Renxue, he would have killed them even faster.

"Eighth Spirit Skill, Leopard Shadow Blood Claws!!!"

"Die!!!"

Splat! Splat! Splat!

"Ahhh~!"

Gui Bao Douluo killed over a dozen assassins in one strike again, while also wounding the two Spirit Douluo assassin leaders.

"Hehehe! Come on! I'll kill as many as you send!" Gui Bao Douluo was exceptionally fierce and intimidating.

Before long, more than half of this group of nearly a hundred assassins had been slaughtered by the Gui Bao.

"Damn it! With Gui Bao Douluo here, we can't kill him at all!"

"If we continue like this, we'll all be wiped out!"

"This assassination plan is declared a failure, everyone! Retreat!!!" At the assassin leader's command, all the surviving assassins fled.

"Do you think you can just come and go as you please! Daring to assassinate a genius of my Spirit Hall, I must capture you two and get to the bottom of this!"

Gui Bao did not intend to let them go; he decisively gave chase, wanting to capture the two Spirit Douluo leaders to investigate clearly.

After all, with Poison Douluo still secretly present, Gui Bao was not worried.

Lin Yu had the same thought at first, but he immediately felt something was wrong.

The enemy deployed an assassin team of this scale—could it be that they just ambushed, attacked head-on, and then ran away when they couldn't succeed?

Wasn't this layout a bit too simple?

"Elder Gui Bao, don't chase! It might be a lure-the-tiger-away-from-the-mountain tactic!!!"

But by the time Lin Yu realized it and went to warn him, Gui Bao Douluo had already chased them out of sight.

Sure enough, after Gui Bao Douluo left, the second wave of assassins soon attacked.

"Kill!!!"

The quality of this batch was clearly not as good as the previous one, but there were still two Spirit Sage powerhouses among them.

Swarming in, they were enough to kill Lin Yu, who was only a Spirit Ancestor.

"Tch, it really was a lure-the-tiger-away-from-the-mountain tactic." Lin Yu's expression was grave; although these people would be finished off by Dugu Bo, he always felt the real danger had yet to arrive.

"Kill him!"

The two Spirit Sages took the lead in the charge, killing toward Lin Yu.

But just at this moment, a gloomy green poisonous mist instantly spread over.

"Third Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Soul-Confusing Array!!!"

Swish!

Bang!

Splat! ~

"Ugh..."

The two Spirit Sages were instantly heavily wounded by Dugu Bo's punch and kick, and were sent crashing to the ground.

"Heh, seeking death." Dugu Bo sneered, arrogant across the field, as his nine rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared beneath his feet.

"Senior Dugu Bo!"

"What!!!"

"This kid actually has a Titled Douluo powerhouse protecting him behind the scenes, damn it! Our information was wrong!"

Meanwhile, in the distance.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the assassins of their side were watching from afar. Ning Fengzhi frowned and said, "Dugu Bo, Poison Douluo, he is actually here too."

Bone Douluo said with a gloomy expression, "Didn't this Dugu Bo have a grudge with the Spirit Hall back then? I don't know how he suddenly joined the Spirit Hall."

Sword Douluo said, "Didn't you notice? Poison Douluo's cultivation has improved a lot compared to before; perhaps his joining the Spirit Hall has something to do with this."

"Sect Master, at this point, I'm afraid it's difficult for the assassins from Xingluo and Heaven Dou to kill Lin Yu. Should our people make a move?" Bone Douluo was a bit anxious; he wished Lin Yu would die immediately.

Ning Fengzhi hesitated for two seconds, preparing to order their assassins to act.

At this moment, Sword Douluo suddenly sensed another force approaching: "Wait! Sect Master, another group of people is coming."

"Oh? Could it be people from the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi had guessed before that there might be people within the Spirit Hall who wanted to kill Lin Yu, so he hurriedly stopped the order: "Let's wait and see, let that group go first."

The force that appeared at this moment was exactly the assassins sent by Bibi Dong.

"After breaking in, use your strongest firepower to attack Poison Douluo. I will find an opportunity to trap him, and then you can kill Lin Yu!" the Spirit Douluo powerhouse arranged.

"Yes!"

Dugu Bo's existence completely exceeded the expectations of the assassins from Xingluo and Heaven Dou, but now they could only go all out for one wave.

"Fight! Kill!!!"

"Senior Dugu Bo, do not be careless!" Lin Yu reminded again, his mood becoming increasingly heavy.

"Leave it to this old man!"

"Die!"

Dugu Bo also started killing.

Although his current level 92 strength was far inferior to Gui Bao Douluo, his speed in killing and his ability to fight in group battles were not much less than Gui Bao Douluo's when facing mass attacks.

He, Dugu Bo, was famous throughout the world for his group attacks!

But good times didn't last long; except for the Spirit Douluo powerhouse who hadn't appeared, the rest of the assassins from Bibi Dong's side finally swarmed over together.

"Kill!!!"

"What's going on? There are actually so many people!?" Dugu Bo frowned, finally becoming serious.

As a woman, she was relatively more careful than men; Qian Renxue quickly discovered the difference in these people: "No! Lin Yu, something is wrong!"

"Although these people are all wearing black clothes and masks, their outfits are all different!"

"This batch of black-clad assassins that popped out doesn't seem to be the same group as them!"

Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "You mean, there are two groups of people who want to kill me?"

"No! It might be three groups!"

"Three groups?"
