Chapter 150: The Axiom Overpowers People

~8 min read 1,482 words

"Ghost has lost? How could this happen?" Ju Hua Guan looked at Guimei, whose arms had been crippled, still unable to believe this bloody truth even now.

Once upon a time, either one of them could have beaten Dugu Bo until he was battered and bruised, but now, both had entered the fray one after another, yet both were defeated by his hand; if this wasn't a dream, what was it?

"Hehe, if the two of you had attacked together, this old man would indeed not be your match. Unfortunately, this kind of wheel battle seems useless against the current me." Dugu Bo walked over triumphantly with his hands behind his back.

The help Wangchuan Qiushui Dew gave him was truly immense; it not only improved his eyesight and mental power but also promoted the evolution of his soul skill, Medusa Gaze. Its power was great while its consumption was low—the cost-effectiveness was simply off the charts.

Furthermore, the Taoist Heart Method taught to him by Nan Feihuang allowed his soul power to recover on its own much faster than ever before. If he could cultivate to a higher realm and reach the level of endless life, things like wheel battles would be completely meaningless to him.

It was true that his final move, Looking Through Autumn Waters, Gazing at Heaven and Earth, consumed a great deal, but weren't the results quite obvious? It helped him secure victory in one fell swoop.

In fact, Dugu Bo still had an even stronger trump card, which was another variation: Medusa's Despair. This was his true ace in the hole. Although its attack range was not as large as "Looking Through Autumn Waters, Gazing at Heaven and Earth," its power was several times greater.

It was just that the side effects of this move were very severe and might lower his mental power cap, never to recover, so Dugu Bo did not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"Old Poison, what exactly do you want today? Do you dare to kill us?" Ghost's hoarse voice rang out. Even if they were defeated, so what? Did Dugu Bo think they would yield to him?

With the Spirit Hall backing them, he did not believe Dugu Bo would dare to defy the world and kill them in cold blood.

Dugu Bo smiled slightly and pressed his hand onto Guimei's shoulder, a terrifyingly potent poison surging into his body.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Guimei, I truly cannot kill Ju Hua Guan because I challenged him to a duel openly and honestly, not a life-and-death battle, so defeating him is enough. But you are different; you barged in, launched an attack on me for no reason, and did so after I had defeated Ju Hua Guan and my soul power was not full. You have neither righteousness nor virtue, and there is no fairness in Spirit Fighting. You clearly wanted my life. In such a situation, it is only natural for me to kill you in self-defense. Guimei, your time is running out. Go back to the Spirit Hall and find your Pope to save you; if she can't cure you, don't blame me." Dugu Bo laughed and let go. "After all, there are plenty of witnesses here today."

Everyone looked at Ghost's expression, not daring to show any disdain, but even if it couldn't be seen on their faces, Ghost still knew that in their hearts, they looked down on his behavior.

Moreover, having fused it with some strange poisonous Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo was certain that once the toxin entered the body, no one in this world could cure it except for him.

Dugu Bo had deliberately made his challenge to Ju Hua Guan known to everyone and invited so many people to watch, likely just for this very moment.

Unlike with Ju Hua Guan just now, the poison he had used this time was indeed the most lethal snake venom.

As it happened, the forest was already surrounded by a large group of the continent's well-known Spirit Masters.

Although they had not approached earlier, given their cultivation, it did not mean they were unaware of what had just happened here.

Sure enough, Dugu Bo was heard saying loudly on purpose, "Ju Hua Guan, Ghost, I really didn't expect the Spirit Hall's Spirit Fighting to be so lacking in rules. You lost today, but this old man does not wish to haggle with you too much. Get lost."

Now that the crowd had gathered, Dugu Bo naturally would not continue to kill while having already won, but if Guimei were to die from the poison later, that couldn't be helped.

Isn't it normal for someone who engages in Spirit Fighting with him, Dugu Bo, to be poisoned?

"Old Poison, do you really want to be at odds with our Spirit Hall until one of us dies?" Yue Guan said sternly. He knew what Dugu Bo had just done to Ghost; now this guy's poison was terrifyingly strong. Without an antidote, Guimei might really not survive.

When it came to volume, Dugu Bo would not fear him; he would just continue speaking according to the script his little Flying General had given him.

"Hmph, as a mere free Spirit Master, how would I dare to offend the Spirit Hall? But no matter what, I am a Title Douluo, and I am not to be bullied by your Spirit Hall at will. Yue Guan, my duel with you was a fair and just Spirit Fighting. Ask your conscience: did I use any despicable means to defeat you? Yet that Ghost took advantage of my insufficient soul power to launch a sneak attack on me. In front of so many elite Spirit Masters of the continent, you must and should give an explanation for this. Otherwise, how can the Spirit Hall claim to be the leader of the continent's Spirit Masters?"

"Hehe, so this is the Spirit Hall. Not only do they play two-on-one in a fair duel, but the other one also takes advantage of someone's precarious position. I've truly learned something today!" A man with a gloomy expression said from the crowd. His status was extraordinary; he was the highest-ranking person among those Dugu Bo had invited to watch, and only he was qualified to speak at this moment.

Because he was also a Title Douluo, coming from the Star Luo Empire, with a Dark Crow martial soul—a flying Beast Spirit, Agility Attack System, level 92 Title Douluo, titled Black Crow Douluo.

The tension between Star Luo and the Spirit Hall was something everyone on the continent knew full well. After all, if the Spirit Hall hadn't interfered back then, Star Luo would have already unified the continent.

Therefore, he did not need to avoid suspicion. At a time like this, if this Title Douluo from the Star Luo Empire didn't come out to say a few words, it would seem rather hypocritical.

Yue Guan's expression was ugly. When did this old thing Dugu Bo grow so many schemes? The three Education Committee Members of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Black Crow Douluo of the Star Luo Empire had all been called here by him to watch the battle.

It was already impossible to hide today's events. Once it spread across the continent, the Spirit Hall would completely lose face.

Even if Dugu Bo killed Ghost, the Spirit Hall could not move against him openly, because Ghost had brought it upon himself. The man was having a fair duel, and you insisted on sticking your foot in; you did two-on-one and still lost, so who can you blame for being poisoned by the opponent?

Is your Spirit Hall really so unreasonable that only you can break the rules and kill people at will, while others aren't even allowed to resist?

Although this point was actually a fact—fairness lies in power—no matter the faction, they would never put this directly on the table. Everyone just tacitly understood it.

Even in the later stages of the original work, when Bibi Dong founded her empire, she still had to spout a bunch of democratic slogans, saying there were no nobles in the Spirit Empire, only subjects, and so on.

If the Spirit Hall were to put this behavior directly on the table, Star Luo and Heaven Dou would dare to use public opinion to attack them.

How many Title Douluo did Bibi Dong have in her hands, and she herself could not exert her full strength; she simply could not resist two such large forces and could not suppress them with sheer power.

The Offering Hall had enough strength, but Qian Daoliu still wanted faith.

The agent of the Angel God goes on a killing spree—doing things this way, are you a Holy Angel or a Fallen Angel?
