Chapter 99: The Great Battle Ends
Why was the martial soul fusion technique ineffective against him?
This question wasn't only in the minds of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—it echoed among everyone present, including the group from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even the level 96 Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo had been immobilized, yet Dugu Bo could still move freely.
Why?
Domain-type soul skills were already extremely rare. Moreover, Dugu Bo's domain only covered himself and did not spread outward.
His entire body was shrouded in darkness, making it seem as though he had merely activated a unique soul skill.
Behind him, the Evil God Wings suddenly unfolded. Black feathers radiated an intense dark glow.
One after another, round black energy spheres appeared around his body.
They were the Dark Demon Evil Thunder.
With a sudden flap of his wings, the condensed Dark Demon Evil Thunder shot forward at terrifying speed toward the golden-silver halo formed by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's fusion.
At that very moment, Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo were released from the control of the fusion technique.
The instant he regained freedom, Fifteen Ton Douluo flashed forward, blocking in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Meanwhile, Falling Devil Douluo raised his staff and smashed it toward Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amid the violent collisions, Dugu Bo's Dark Demon Evil Thunder was intercepted by Fifteen Ton Douluo.
And just as Falling Devil Douluo's staff was about to strike—
A sharp sound of wind and thunder rang out.
A black figure suddenly appeared in front of the massive staff shadow, stopping the attack.
Who else could it be but Dugu Bo?
Seeing the dark-cloaked figure before him, Falling Devil Douluo's expression darkened as he said coldly:
"Are you certain you want to interfere in the conflict between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall?"
Yet inwardly, he was shocked.
He had never heard of this Titled Douluo before, yet the man possessed such strength.
Even after fighting Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, though not at his peak, a level 96 Douluo's strike was not something below level 95 could block.
Could this unknown figure be a Super Douluo?
Dugu Bo remained calm, his expression indifferent as he curled his lips.
"They haven't paid me yet for the immortal herbs. If you kill them, are you going to pay me instead?"
Originally, he had intended to break the fusion of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo first, freeing Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
But he hadn't expected Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo to react so quickly—and so decisively.
The moment they broke free, one shielded Chrysanthemum and Ghost, while the other launched an attack.
Falling Devil Douluo said nothing more, his gaze turning hostile as his soul power surged.
Fifteen Ton Douluo also stepped forward, glancing coldly at the restrained members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"No need to waste words. Since he dares stand in our way, we'll kill him as well."
The martial soul fusion technique had instantly suppressed two Super Douluo and one Soul Sage. If not for Dugu Bo's domain from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he likely wouldn't have been able to move either.
Such overwhelming power came with immense consumption.
It wouldn't last long.
Before it ended, they had to deal with this mysterious Titled Douluo.
Otherwise, this mission would be a failure.
The two exchanged a glance.
With low, dragon-like roars, Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo suddenly erupted into action.
One above, one below—one left, one right—their dragon-patterned staffs crashed toward Dugu Bo with overwhelming force.
This was Dugu Bo's first time facing level 96 opponents.
In that instant, he clearly felt the gap between level 95 and 96.
Though the attack looked simple, it carried a special force field that locked the surrounding space, leaving him nowhere to evade.
Sizzle—
A fierce, foul wind swept forward—
And Dugu Bo vanished.
Boom! Boom!
The attacks struck empty air, exploding with terrifying force.
The destructive power was evident.
Not far away, Dugu Bo frowned slightly, watching them carefully.
That strike just now—if not for his Evil God Wings—would have severely injured him.
Of course, he still hadn't used his martial soul or soul skills.
Nor did he intend to.
He didn't want to expose his true strength.
If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo weren't being restrained, he wouldn't even bother fighting.
All he needed to do now… was stall.
Once Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo ran out of soul power and their fusion ended, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would be freed.
At that point, Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo would naturally retreat.
Afterward, the two Douluo launched several more attacks.
Dugu Bo never met them head-on.
From time to time, he even threw Dark Demon Evil Thunder toward Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, forcing the two level 96 Douluo into a flurry of defense.
As time passed, their anxiety grew.
The fusion technique was about to collapse.
Boom! Boom!
Another round of attacks struck empty air.
Their expressions turned extremely ugly.
Fifteen Ton Douluo glanced at Falling Devil Douluo.
"Let's withdraw. There's no point continuing."
Though unwilling, Falling Devil Douluo nodded.
Even if Ning Fengzhi's martial soul had evolved, Chen Xin and Gu Rong were still only level 95 Super Douluo.
They couldn't change the overall situation.
"End the fusion technique. We're leaving."
The two moved to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, casting cold looks at Dugu Bo.
If not for his interference, the immortal herbs would already be theirs.
Left with no choice, the two canceled their fusion technique.
In the sky, Gu Rong and Chen Xin—and Ning Fengzhi below—regained their freedom.
Roar—
The Bone Dragon roared in fury, ready to charge.
It was too humiliating.
Chen Xin, known as the pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had been completely suppressed.
If not for Dugu Bo, they might not have even survived.
Now freed, Bone Douluo burned with killing intent.
Chen Xin quickly transmitted his voice:
"Don't act recklessly. It's not time to completely fall out with Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Bone Douluo hesitated before withdrawing his martial soul, reverting to a black-robed elder and glaring at Spirit Hall.
"What exactly is Spirit Hall trying to do? Do you want full-scale war with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo ignored him.
Leaving only a single sentence—
"Sect Master Ning, until we meet again."
Before departing, they cast a deep glance at Dugu Bo.
Then they turned and left.
[T/N: for info btw none of them knew of dugu bo's real name, I don't know what the original author was smoking when he make it felt like that they knew his real name]
