Chapter 97: Battle Against Qianjun and Jiangmo!
Within the forest, Qianjun and Jiangmo—the two Super Douluo—stood at the front, while Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo lingered at the side, eyeing Ning Fengzhi and the others like predators.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Suddenly, the falling leaves throughout the forest froze in midair.
"Attack!"
Qianjun and Jiangmo exchanged a glance with Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
In the next instant, the two transformed into streaks of light, charging straight toward Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo!
The dragon-patterned staffs in their hands swung down from afar.
In a flash, the staffs expanded with the wind—within just a few breaths, they became enormous, like pillars reaching the heavens.
Carrying the force of a thousand jun, they smashed down fiercely!
At that moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's hand suddenly released dazzling rainbow light.
As the seventh spirit ring lit up, the small pagoda that had been resting in his palm flew out.
Its body expanded in midair to nearly ten meters tall, and the spirit rings surrounding it grew massive as well.
At a glance, each ring had a diameter of five to six meters, radiating brilliant light.
Without pause, the moment he activated his Martial Soul True Body, the six surrounding spirit rings all shone simultaneously.
Six different amplification effects—strength, speed, soul power, defense, attack, and attributes—descended upon Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Their auras surged once again.
In an instant, they reached a level surpassing Rank 96.
Roar—!
A massive bone dragon, pale as death, suddenly rose into the air and lunged toward one of the descending staff shadows.
Beside it, the sword in Sword Douluo's hand expanded just like the staffs of Qianjun and Jiangmo, becoming a towering sword phantom that slashed toward the other attack with unmatched sharpness.
Boom—Clang—!
A heavy impact rang out alongside the cry of a sword.
From the point where their attacks collided, visible shockwaves spread outward. Violent gusts exploded from the center, and surging soul power swept through the forest.
Towering trees fell one after another. Leaves rustled wildly as dust filled the sky.
The two massive staff shadows were directly shattered by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Even though their soul power levels were one rank lower than Qianjun and Jiangmo, Ning Fengzhi's support had greatly enhanced all their attributes.
For a moment, the two Rank 96 Super Douluo—Qianjun and Jiangmo—were actually forced back.
Dugu Bo stood beside Ning Fengzhi, his gaze fixed firmly on Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
He didn't want those two troublemakers to suddenly sneak an attack on Ning Fengzhi—otherwise all his efforts would be for nothing.
But strangely, the two hadn't joined the battle.
Were they wary of him?
Or was their martial soul fusion technique already at its limit just controlling two Super Douluo?
With both him—an unknown Titled Douluo—and Ning Fengzhi present, perhaps they simply couldn't handle more?
Otherwise, if they used their fusion technique and let Qianjun and Jiangmo strike, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would likely fall quickly.
As for why Dugu Bo wasn't worried about their fusion technique—
It was because he possessed the Dark Demon Evil God Domain.
Back in the Star Dou Forest, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had moved freely within their fusion technique using that domain.
So naturally, he believed he could do the same.
There was no time for further thought.
The two Rank 96 Titled Douluo had already launched another assault.
Two Coiling Dragon Staffs struck—one from the left, one from the right; one high, one low.
Their movements were not only swift, but perfectly coordinated.
The third spirit ring on their staffs flared brightly, and the staffs expanded several times in size, their power terrifying.
As they swung, low dragon roars echoed, disrupting Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's spiritual perception.
Both Qianjun and Jiangmo were over one hundred twenty years old.
As the saying goes—when brothers are of one mind, they can cut through metal.
Two Rank 96 Titled Douluo working together, with decades of coordination—
Their synergy required no communication at all.
The two dragon staffs danced through the air, striking relentlessly.
Fortunately, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, though not brothers, had known each other for many years and worked together with equal understanding.
The dragon staffs clashed against Chen Xin's sword in showers of sparks, and collided with Bone Douluo's bone dragon in explosive bursts.
The battle between the four was overwhelming in scale.
Waves of soul power surged outward again and again, turning everything within a thousand-meter radius into chaos.
Crater after crater appeared from the aftershocks.
The forest was left in ruins—trees toppled, the once-lush greenery completely destroyed.
Dugu Bo stood beside Ning Fengzhi, leisurely watching the battle unfold.
He had no intention of jumping in and drawing attention to himself.
If he could avoid acting, all the better.
And even if he had to, he wouldn't reveal too much.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also remained on the sidelines, not joining rashly.
Because from the very beginning, Qianjun and Jiangmo had sent them a voice transmission.
Wait for the right moment—do not act yet.
Once Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi had exhausted most of their soul power, that would be their time to strike.
At full strength, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were already top-tier.
With Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo added in, controlling all of them at once would be extremely difficult.
Their soul power would likely be drained in moments.
So letting Qianjun and Jiangmo wear them down first was the best strategy.
Boom—Boom—!
After another violent clash, all four figures retreated simultaneously, creating distance between each other.
All of them were breathing slightly heavier—clearly, the intense battle had taken its toll.
Not far away, Ning Fengzhi—who had been supporting Sword and Bone Douluo—also looked pale.
Even for the number one support-type Spirit Master in the continent, assisting two Super Douluo was no easy task.
Qianjun and Jiangmo were no weaklings.
For Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to hold them to a draw was already extremely difficult.
This battle would not be decided quickly.
Dragging it out like this wasn't a solution.
They needed to find a chance to retreat.
If he left with the immortal herb, perhaps Qianjun, Jiangmo, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo would stop pursuing?
And if he withdrew, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo could focus solely on escaping—even four Titled Douluo might struggle to stop them.
Ning Fengzhi silently calculated—
If Dugu Bo helped him escape at the right moment… how feasible would it be?
