Chapter 84 – Battle Against Ghost and Chrysanthemum!
"Yue Guan, what are you standing around for? Grab this brat first!"
"This kid is obviously closely related to that old poison freak. Cripple him, and I don't believe Dugu Bo won't show up!"
Ghost Douluo's voice echoed from the forest below.
In the next moment, he had already reappeared beside Chrysanthemum Douluo.
He had indeed been blasted away earlier—but that was only because he had been careless, not expecting such terrifying speed.
In reality, that punch hadn't caused him much damage at all.
Dusting himself off, Ghost Douluo said in a low voice,
"This kid isn't weak. Be careful—don't trip in the gutter."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded. He had indeed been startled when Ghost Douluo was sent flying with a single punch.
But he didn't take it too seriously.
After all, the two of them were Super Douluo. Going all out against a young man would be laughable if word got out.
While the two were still hesitating, Dugu Bo attacked first.
Facing two opponents, he needed to strike fast—before they fully understood his current strength.
Otherwise, if he got captured, that would be a joke.
And if he were taken before Bibi Dong… forget hiding his identity—he might not even keep his life.
A surge of black soul power erupted from Dugu Bo's body!
A terrifying aura spread outward as a pair of black wings tore through his clothes.
His skin instantly transformed into silver-white, covered in intricate demonic patterns—an awe-inspiring sight.
At the same time, a single deep-black soul ring slowly rose beneath him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's gazes locked onto him instantly.
Looking at Dugu Bo, who now resembled an ancient demonic god, both were stunned.
At that moment, they were certain—
This person might resemble Dugu Bo slightly, but he had nothing to do with him.
Because compared to appearance, martial souls spoke louder.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's sharp voice trembled with shock.
"This aura… this kid is probably a Titled Douluo!"
As for why he only had one soul ring?
That was nothing unusual to them.
After reaching the Titled Douluo level, Soul Masters gained deep control over their martial souls.
They could freely suppress or release their soul rings at will—even not showing them at all when summoning their martial soul.
Only when using soul skills would the rings appear.
Naturally, they didn't even consider the possibility of twin martial souls—Dugu Bo's drastic change in aura had thrown them off completely.
Before their words even settled—
A gust of foul wind rushed toward them.
Dugu Bo's figure appeared instantly before them.
Both fists shot out, smashing toward each of them.
The two reacted swiftly, immediately releasing their martial souls.
Ghost Douluo's body turned illusory.
A massive golden chrysanthemum bloomed in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Dugu Bo's right punch passed straight through Ghost Douluo as if hitting air.
But his left punch slammed into the golden chrysanthemum—
Boom!
The enormous flower was blasted backward, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo himself.
"Third Soul Skill — Soul Devouring Claw!"
Ghost Douluo's hand, filled with chilling energy, clawed viciously toward Dugu Bo's face.
Dugu Bo withdrew his fist and flapped his Evil God Wings, instantly retreating out of range.
The two hovered in the air, their expressions turning serious.
"Who exactly are you to Dugu Bo?"
They were now certain—
The soul ring of the Dark Devilgod Tiger had been absorbed by this person.
And he had even gained a wing-type external soul bone from it.
Damn it!
That soul ring was originally meant for Bibi Dong.
Now it was like someone had taken a weapon they prepared… and used it against them.
And worst of all—
It had been stolen.
Both Douluo felt extremely frustrated.
Dugu Bo's expression remained cold.
"Why don't you tell me first—why you're looking for him?"
He wasn't sure whether Qian Renxue had reported the matter of the immortal herbs…
Or if these two had simply come to settle their grudge from the Star Dou Forest.
Knowing their personalities, either was possible.
Perhaps due to lingering fear from the Dark Devilgod Tiger—or simply because they sensed how troublesome Dugu Bo was—
When he stopped attacking, Ghost Douluo inexplicably felt relieved.
He said,
"We have something to discuss with him. How about letting us in first?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at him, puzzled, but then remembered Bibi Dong's orders.
Their priority was to confirm the existence of the immortal herbs.
Not to engage in a full battle with an unknown Titled Douluo.
More importantly—
Dugu Bo himself hadn't shown up yet.
If he appeared as well, the two of them might not win.
That was why they changed their approach.
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes.
Did they really think he was stupid?
Just moments ago they were planning to capture him—now that they realized he was strong, they switched to a softer approach?
Without another word—
Dugu Bo moved.
His leg whipped out like a dragon's tail, sweeping toward both of them.
The air itself exploded from the sheer force.
Clearly, this strike carried terrifying power.
He had already guessed their purpose—
They had come for the immortal herbs.
In that case… there was no need to hold back.
The two dodged the sweeping kick, their expressions darkening.
Dugu Bo said coldly:
"Either get lost… or die."
Ghost Douluo's expression hardened.
"Then there's nothing more to say!"
His sixth soul ring lit up instantly.
"Old Chrysanthemum—attack together!"
"Sixth Soul Skill — Nether Roaring Howl!"
A massive ghostly figure appeared behind him, opening its mouth and unleashing a terrifying roar.
Invisible sound waves surged forward like a tidal wave toward Dugu Bo.
The attack was fast—and covered a massive area.
Seeing he couldn't dodge, black soul power burst from Dugu Bo's body, forming a protective barrier.
But the moment it formed—
The sound waves passed straight through it.
Damn—it's a soul attack!
Dugu Bo's pupils shrank.
Before he could react, he was struck and instantly fell into a dazed state.
Seizing the opportunity, both Douluo attacked simultaneously.
"Fifth Soul Skill — Golden Petal Flowing Radiance!"
"Fifth Soul Skill — Ghost Shadow Earth Grasp!"
Golden chrysanthemum petals condensed into a massive radiant blade, stabbing toward Dugu Bo.
At the same time, ghostly energy surged beneath him.
Though immobilized, Dugu Bo could clearly sense something about to erupt from the ground beneath his feet.
Just as Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack was about to land—
Dugu Bo snapped out of the daze.
A strange gray-black light spread from his body, instantly forming a gray spherical barrier around him.
The moment it formed—
The attacks arrived.
A massive ghost claw burst from the ground and slammed into the barrier.
BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—!
The collision sent violent winds roaring in all directions.
Waves of soul power surged outward like a storm from Dugu Bo's position.
Crack—! Crash—!
Within a hundred meters, towering trees collapsed one after another.
Dust and debris filled the sky.
The battle had truly begun.
