Dugu Bo Appeared
Sand Sculpture Soul Douluo saw the arrival of the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, his pupils contracted and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
He stopped fighting Tang San and his group, took a few steps back, and stared intently at Dragon Duke Meng Shu, saying, "Meng Shu, you'd better not interfere in what's happening here."
Dragon Duke smiled calmly and said, "Shrek has helped us before, and I am not an ungrateful person. Now that they are in trouble, I cannot stand by and watch them die."
"Meng Shu, do you really want to go against us? Think about the consequences. This is not something you can get involved in." The Sand Sculpture Soul Douluo Contra sneered, his voice carrying a threat.
Upon hearing this, Dragon Duke's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his voice rose several octaves. "Do you think I'm easily intimidated? Lor Diarra, others may fear you, but I certainly don't."
Lor Diarra's lips twitched. The Dragon Duke and Snake Granny together could even contend with Titled Douluo, let alone him.
He took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and let out a sharp cry—a distress signal.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu's expression changed slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. "You have accomplices?"
Lor Diarra sneered, her tone laced with an air of confident composure. "Meng Shu, I advise you to take Snake Granny and leave here quickly. You'd better not get involved in this mess."
Dragon Duke fell silent. If he really offended the Spirit Hall, his future would be bleak.
He took a deep breath, already feeling a bit like he was about to back down.
Just as Dragon Duke hesitated, a soft, feminine voice came from afar. "Lor Diarra, you're really getting worse with age. You can't even handle such a simple situation?"
The sound wasn't loud, but the pressure it exerted was extremely terrifying.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure appeared from afar, stepping through the air – it was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
Level 95 Super Douluo.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu let out a muffled groan, his body involuntarily taking half a step back, his expression changing drastically.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze fell on Dragon Duke Meng Shu, and he let out an eerie laugh, "So it's an old friend. No wonder Lor Diarra couldn't handle it. Long time no see, the Peerless Dragon Snake couple."
He paused, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "You've got some nerve, forcing me to make my appearance."
"You actually came too." The Dragon Duke's expression turned extremely solemn.
Chrysanthemum Douluo said with utter disdain, "Now that you've seen me, get lost!"
"Alright." Without the slightest hesitation, Dragon Duke took Snake Granny's hand and turned to leave.
Meng Yiran was pulled along by her grandmother, staggering behind her. She turned around and glanced at Tang San, her eyes full of apology.
The couple, Peerless Dragon Snake and Meng Yiran, had already reached a distant place in just a few leaps.
Tang San looked in the direction they disappeared, without resentment.
Shrek Academy had only done a small favor; it wasn't anything of great kindness or virtue.
The Dragon Duke and Snake Granny have already done more than enough.
Faced with Super Douluo, anyone would make the same choice.
The battlefield fell silent for a moment.
Chrysanthemum Douluo withdrew his gaze, turned to Lor Diarra, and impatiently shouted, "Hurry up and deal with them, or do I have to do it myself?"
Lor Diarra trembled, bowed hastily, and stammered, "M-My lord, I... I..."
He glanced at the battlefield. Tang San stood there, their Soul Power mostly depleted, but their eyes remained resolute.
The three of them had also expended considerable energy and were still unable to subdue Tang San and his companions.
Although Lor Diarra was confident that he could eventually defeat his opponent, it wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time.
His lips twitched, but he couldn't speak.
Chrysanthemum Douluo followed his gaze to the battlefield, then sneered, "What a waste! They can't even handle a few Soul Kings."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure erupted from Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The oppressive aura was like a mountain descending from the sky, crushing down on Tang San and the others.
Tang San and the others immediately turned pale, while Qin Ming and Flender also turned ashen-faced, with veins bulging on their foreheads, as they struggled with all their might to resist the oppressive force.
Just when they were about to give up, an equally powerful aura rose from behind them, like an invisible barrier, blocking Chrysanthemum Douluo's oppressive aura.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, if you dare to harm a single hair on their heads, I'll blow your chrysanthemum to pieces!"
Dugu Bo's voice came from behind, full of energy, with a touch of roguishness and a touch of domineering.
He strode to Tang San's side, his Jade Phosphorous Earth Dragon Martial Soul Possession, its azure-gold scales gleaming with a cold luster in the sunlight.
Nine Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet—two yellow, two purple, and five black—unleashing the full power of a level 94 Titled Douluo.
Dugu Bo blocked Chrysanthemum Douluo's oppressive aura, and the pressure on Tang San and the others was immediately reduced by more than half.
Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eerie phoenix eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Dugu Bo, a hint of surprise and apprehension flashing in his eyes.
He sized up the illusory image of the Jade Phosphorous Earth Dragon behind Dugu Bo, his voice now colder. "Old Poisoner, when did you become this academy's lackey?"
Dugu Bo spat, his eyes filled with contempt. "You're the damn lackey! Are you blind? Didn't you see that's my granddaughter?"
He pointed at Dugu Yan, then at Tang San, "That Tang San is my grandson-in-law. You want to kill him? I'll blow your ass out first."
After speaking, the powerful aura of the Jade Phosphorous Earth Dragon surged out from its body, filling the air and colliding head-on with Chrysanthemum Douluo's oppressive aura.
Two auras at the Titled Douluo level clashed in mid-air, compressing the air and causing it to vibrate with a buzzing sound.
The immense pressure brought the battle of the thousands of people around them to a standstill; under this pressure, even breathing became difficult for them.
All eyes were focused on the two figures facing each other.
Chrysanthemum Douluo stared at Dugu Bo, a cold glint flashing in his bewitching phoenix eyes. "Since that's the case, let's see who's truly stronger. Let me see just how powerful your mutated Martial Soul really is."
As soon as he finished speaking, all nine of his Soul Rings lit up simultaneously, enveloping him in a dazzling golden light.
Dugu Bo retorted without backing down, "Chrysanthemum Guan, let's see how this old man will smash your chrysanthemum today!"
However, just as Dugu Bo was about to rush towards Chrysanthemum Douluo, a dark figure appeared like Gui Mei and blocked his way.
The dark figure arrived without warning, as if it had walked directly out of the void.
He was shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, obscuring his face.
He stood there, like an unreal shadow.
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, a level 95 Super Douluo.
"Old poisoner, your opponent is me."
The Gui Mei voice was deep and sinister.
Dugu Bo's expression instantly turned serious, and his pupils contracted sharply.
One Chrysanthemum Douluo was troublesome enough, and now there's Ghost Douluo too.
Ghost Douluo turned his head, glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo, and said in a calm tone, "Chrysanthemum Guan, you've wasted too much time. Hurry up and make your move. I'll hold off Old Poison, you kill the ones who need to be killed, and then we can go back and report."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, a hint of impatience flashing in his eerie eyes. "Understood."
Ghost Douluo said no more. With a flicker, he transformed into a black streak of light and pounced towards Dugu Bo.
His speed was unbelievable; even his afterimage was invisible, leaving only a blurry black line streaking across the air.
With both hands outstretched, thick black mist gathered between his fingers, transforming into two enormous ghostly claws that reached for Dugu Bo's chest.
