Chapter 50: Subduing Dugu Bo
Zhou Heng looked at Dugu Bo's trembling body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up; this guy was actually capable of fear.
Very quickly, the other three black-robed figures took off their black robes, revealing the faces of the three.
Zhou Heng's eyes widened: the Third Honorary Elder Qingluan Douluo, the Fourth Honorary Elder Xiongzhi Douluo, and the Fifth Honorary Elder Guangling Douluo—this time, the Offering Hall had dispatched four Honorary Elders directly.
Wasn't this guy Dugu Bo dead for sure?
Just as Zhou Heng was surprised by the four Honorary Elders appearing before him, Dugu Bo flew straight up and headed toward Heaven Dou City.
However, just as Dugu Bo had taken flight and was about to get away, two figures appeared above Dugu Bo at extreme speed.
Subsequently, a phantom of a massive long spear appeared in the hands of one of the figures; that figure stood above Dugu Bo and swung the illusory spear in their hand, smashing it heavily down toward Dugu Bo.
The other figure, however, rapidly expanded, transforming into a form covered in blood-red spikes with tiny scales covering the surface of their body.
The next moment, several blood-colored spikes flew out from the body of the Pufferfish Soul Beast and shot toward Dugu Bo's body.
Dugu Bo had just taken flight when he saw the illusory spear swinging at him and the several spikes shooting toward him, so he hurriedly dodged to the side.
At the same time, Dugu Bo's expression became even uglier; this time, not only had the four Honorary Elders of the Offering Hall come, but they had also brought the two Title Douluo, Shemao and Citun, along.
What exactly was the status of Zhou Heng, whom he had kidnapped, within the Spirit Hall? He was actually able to stir up two Title Douluo and four Super Douluo to come and cause him trouble.
Dugu Bo now understood that Zhou Heng's identity was definitely not a subordinate of the Taizi Fu, but someone from the Spirit Hall.
It was just that Dugu Bo could not understand why a Spirit Master with such outstanding natural talent would be sent by the Spirit Hall to the Taizi Fu to act as an undercover agent—what was the reason for that?
Dugu Bo had managed to discern a bit of Zhou Heng's talent, which was why he was puzzled; after all, a genius who reached level 39 soul power at twelve years old being placed in an enemy force as an undercover agent—if their identity were discovered, wouldn't that be sending one's own genius to be slaughtered in the hands of the opponent?
Or could it be that Zhou Heng was not valued within the Spirit Hall?
But that didn't seem right either; Zhou Heng had previously called Golden Crocodile Douluo "Master," so how could he not be valued? These things had already left Dugu Bo confused.
However, since they were currently in the middle of a battle, Dugu Bo could only suppress these thoughts in his heart and fight the two figures with all his might.
In the small pavilion, the four Honorary Elders looked at Zhou Heng with smiles; Qingluan Douluo spoke first: "Little Heng, your masters have come to save you. How about it, are you moved? Haha."
Before Zhou Heng could speak, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke up: "Qingluan, let's not mention these things for now. You and Guangling go help Shemao and Citun. Remember, finish this quickly; the commotion here is not small."
"We must hurry; otherwise, it might implicate Little Xue."
Upon hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qingluan Douluo put away the smile on his face, nodded with a solemn expression, and said: "I understand, but give me ten minutes, don't worry."
Qingluan Douluo stood up, transformed into a cyan light shadow, and flew into the battle circle, charging straight toward Dugu Bo's direction.
At the same time, Guangling Douluo, whose figure resembled that of a small child, stood up as well. The Guangling Divine Bow appeared in his hand, and subsequently, his fourth, fifth, and sixth soul rings shone, and three soul skills were released by Guangling Douluo.
On the ice-blue longbow in Guangling Douluo's hand, an ice-blue arrow appeared, and the next moment, an ice-blue cold light coiled around this arrow.
After taking a minute to confirm the target, Guangling Douluo released his grip.
That arrow transformed into an Ice Dragon and charged directly at Dugu Bo, who was fighting high in the sky.
The moment the Ice Dragon was shot out by Guangling Douluo, Dugu Bo had already sensed the existence of this Ice Dragon. Dugu Bo went all out, pushing away Shemao Douluo, who was currently locked in a struggle with him.
Subsequently, layers of poison gas behind him materialized, condensing into layers of shields that blocked in front of Dugu Bo.
The moment these layers of shields formed, the Ice Dragon arrived behind Dugu Bo. The Ice Dragon slammed fiercely into the shields Dugu Bo had spent countless amounts of poison gas to condense. In an instant, the Ice Dragon shattered these layers of shields, aiming straight for Dugu Bo's body hidden behind them.
It took the Ice Dragon only a second to shatter the shields Dugu Bo had condensed, and the next moment, the Ice Dragon shot toward Dugu Bo, who had lost his obstruction.
However, the shields Dugu Bo condensed were not entirely useless; with that one second of time, Dugu Bo dodged with all his might, avoiding the attack of this Ice Dragon.
But the head of the Ice Dragon was being controlled by Guangling Douluo, twisting toward the direction Dugu Bo was dodging to pursue him.
In the end, the Ice Dragon grazed Dugu Bo's left rib and shot into the sky.
Dugu Bo only felt a chill on the left side of his body, and he lost control over his left side. His body, which had been flying in the air, could no longer be controlled and began to descend toward the ground.
However, before Dugu Bo could fall to the ground, the Ice Dragon that had originally shot into the sky exploded in mid-air, transforming into shards of ice crystals that smashed down toward Dugu Bo below.
The moment these ice crystals landed on Dugu Bo, they transformed into strands of cold air that condensed on his body. Dugu Bo hurriedly summoned poison gas to resist the cold air condensing on him.
But the moment the poison gas touched the cold air, it began to freeze into dark green ice crystals.
In the end, the cold air transformed from the ice crystals froze Dugu Bo into a block of ice emitting cold air.
Shemao Douluo flew beneath the ice block that Dugu Bo had frozen into, lifted the ice block with one hand, and flew toward the small pavilion; Citun Douluo and Qingluan Douluo also flew toward the small pavilion.
Zhou Heng looked at the frozen Dugu Bo, a rich smile rising on his face, and he laughed out loud.
When everyone landed under the small pavilion, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded toward Guangling Douluo, signaling for him to step forward and release the ice block.
Guangling Douluo smiled, waved his hand, and the ice block freezing Dugu Bo transformed into a stream of water still emitting coldness, flowing from Dugu Bo's body onto the ground.
As soon as Dugu Bo was free from the ice block, he dodged to the side.
Dugu Bo did not dare to launch a sneak attack on Zhou Heng in front of these people; he understood that if he really dared to sneak attack Zhou Heng, he would likely be beaten into meat paste by the six Title Douluo.
Afterward, everyone in the Dugu Family in Heaven Dou City would be killed by the six Title Douluo, completely erasing the Dugu Family from the world.
Moreover, Zhou Heng would absolutely not be injured.
He was indeed rampant and arrogant, but he was not a fool; facing such an outcome, Dugu Bo did not dare to launch a sneak attack on Zhou Heng at all.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Dugu Bo, who was several meters away from them, shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly: "Dugu Bo, you previously said you wanted to marry Dugu Yan to our disciple?"
Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Heng in shock: So you are Golden Crocodile Douluo's disciple; you should have said so earlier. If you had said so earlier, how would I have gone to cause you trouble?
Dugu Bo immediately shook his head and firmly denied it: "No, I never said that at all. Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly; it is my fault, I will definitely change it next time."
Dugu Bo could be said to be extremely "submissive" now.
"No, you said it, you absolutely said it," Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a smile, the implication in his tone already expressed on the surface.
Dugu Bo looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo in shock: Could it be that Zhou Heng really took a fancy to his granddaughter?
Dugu Bo tentatively said: "I said it?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded with a smile and said: "That's right. Since you said it, does it still count?"
Dugu Bo said uncertainly: "It counts?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's smile became even more brilliant, and he said: "Good, good. Since it counts, then you are a person of our Offering Hall. I heard from Little Heng that you have a mutated Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison in your body?"
Dugu Bo had already determined that he should be fine this time, so he just needed to go along with what they said: "I am indeed poisoned."
Golden Crocodile Douluo continued to smile and said: "Zhou Heng is now helping you detoxify, and he is also marrying your granddaughter. Tell me, how should the relationship between you and the Spirit Hall be described?"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "In-laws?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily: "Good, in-laws, our relationship is that of in-laws. Then, I wonder if you, in-law, would tell outsiders about our relationship? Would you hinder our plan?"
Dugu Bo immediately understood what he should do: "We are one family, I will do my utmost to complete our plan!"
