Dugu Bo, you wouldn't want to

The words were transmitted, but they were not meant for Wriothesley. They were meant for Dugu Bo.

"Duke, from the sound of it, it seems our visitor doesn't have the best intentions." Sigewinne took something that looked very much like a toy gun out of the "Melusine Integrated Portable Medical Equipment" and aimed it toward the source of the voice. "Dugu, shall we go together?"

Wriothesley also straightened his collar, looked into the distance, and waited for the other party to arrive.

"Hold on. You can all hear that?" Dugu Bo froze slightly, then looked suspiciously at the strange weapon in Sigewinne's hand.

It was not the first time he had seen Sigewinne's heart-shaped backpack, but that thing felt just like a storage Soul Tool. It clearly did not have much space, yet she could always pull all kinds of things out of it.

The main thing was that this object worked differently from a storage Soul Tool, and seemed to require no Soul Power to drive it at all.

Wriothesley glanced at the thing in Sigewinne's hand and nodded.

The things made by the people at the Fontaine Research Institute were not just pretty. Back when they were making something like this, he had heard they had nearly come to blows over it, and one even had to win a bid to obtain the manufacturing rights for this so-called "Melusine Integrated Portable Medical Equipment."

As for the thing that looked like a toy gun, it could not only drive Elemental Power inside it, but could also be loaded with anesthetic needles, and even musket rounds.

It was just that because Sigewinne disliked killing, it was basically filled with anesthetic needles.

"Yes. It feels so amazing!" Sigewinne aimed the muzzle into the distance, toward the source of the transmitted voice. "But judging from how hoarse the voice is, that gentleman seems to have some health problems too."

"You can tell that too?" Dugu Bo was somewhat shocked.

He knew Sigewinne's medical skills were very strong, but she could identify symptoms just by the sound of someone speaking?

However, Sigewinne's next words greatly surprised him.

"This voice should belong to a man. His voice is hoarse, so his vocal cords should be damaged. His breathing is a little hurried, as if he is rushing on the road. Judging by his voice, he should be close to forty-five years old. If I'm not mistaken, that gentleman probably doesn't pay attention to maintaining his health normally, should have quite a few old illnesses, and has recently suffered a bit of a shock, so his emotions are unstable."

"What else?" Dugu Bo found it hard to believe.

"What else..." Sigewinne glanced at Dugu Bo. "I can't hear anything else."

After saying that, she looked at Dugu Bo as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Uh." Black lines seemed to row across Dugu Bo's face as he awkwardly looked at Wriothesley.

Wriothesley tightened the bandages around his hands and coughed twice. "Looks like we'll be busy today."

It was already impressive that the Head Nurse could hear this much. Compared with a certain half-baked amateur, she was in an entirely different league.

After all, Sigewinne did have strength.

Although her strength might not rely on Soul Power, the existence of Elemental Power was no weaker than Soul Power.

On the contrary, even if Douluo Continent's Soul Power system chased after it for another thirty thousand years, it still would not catch up to Teyvat's Elemental Power system.

Seeing the grave expressions on the two men's faces, Sigewinne felt utterly puzzled.

She had already done her best with what she had said just now!

Outside Heaven Dou City, Tang Hao, dressed in a black robe, had already been waiting for a long time.

"And here I wondered who it was. So it's Clear Sky Douluo, the man who angered his own father to death." Dugu Bo glanced at the hammer-shaped Martial Soul in the black-robed man's hand and guessed who had come.

With such a unique hammer, if it was not a mutated Martial Soul, then there was only one possibility.

The Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one Tool Martial Soul under heaven.

And with the Clear Sky Sect in seclusion, while its only "external" member, Tang Yuehua, was a woman with Soul Power of only level 9, the answer was already very obvious.

"Dugu Bo, you!" Before Tang Hao could even start making trouble, Dugu Bo's words made him choke with anger first.

Dugu Bo glanced at Tang Hao. "What? Am I wrong?"

Tang Hao was furious when he heard this. As he thought of those events back then, his chest immediately felt stifled beyond measure.

What Dugu Bo said was not wrong. Although he had the achievement of hammering the previous pope of Spirit Hall to death, angering his own father to death was also a fact. Otherwise, how could he have fallen to his current state, with a home he could not return to?

"Hmph." Dugu Bo let out a cold snort.

However, a man's reputation was like a tree's shadow. Although Tang Hao had not appeared in the soul master world for more than ten years, his battle record was still there for all to see.

Even facing Tang Hao, Dugu Bo still did not lower his guard.

Although he had Wriothesley backing him up, it was hard to guarantee that Tang Hao would not be driven to desperate measures when the time came.

The main thing was, why had this Duke brought Sigewinne out?

Was it so Tang Hao could take someone hostage later?

Sigewinne's medical skills were indeed good, but he had never heard that she knew how to fight!

This was deadly...

"So what are you here for?" Dugu Bo said coldly.

Tang Hao had disappeared for more than ten years. Now that he had appeared again, the first person he sought out was Dugu Bo. How could he possibly have come to greet him?

"Dugu Bo, that rabbit was something I discovered first."

The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand was planted against the ground as he spoke without the slightest fluctuation in his tone.

A threat. A naked threat!

Dugu Bo's expression did not look good, but for the moment, they could not make a decision.

The rabbit beside that ordinary-looking boy today—he had only sensed something and had not been completely certain. But now that Tang Hao had appeared, it confirmed his guess.

There was no way around it. Tang Hao's reputation was far-reaching, and he was the Clear Sky Douluo. He could not be offended lightly.

The Clear Sky Sect had indeed struck Tang Hao's name from its rolls, but who didn't know that was only for outsiders to see?

Otherwise, after all these years, why had the Clear Sky Sect not reclaimed Tang Hao's title?

But even knowing that, what could he do?

"It was only a guess at first. I didn't expect it to really be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. But Tang Hao, don't tell me you think one sentence from you is enough to make me give up a supreme treasure of the soul master world?" Dugu Bo's tone was icy, his face expressionless.

Even a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was called a treasure bought with rivers of blood. Then what of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone plus a soul ring?

Speaking of which, back then Tang Hao had run into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast when he advanced to Title Douluo. Otherwise, with Tang Hao having just entered rank 91, how could he have defeated a rank 95 Title Douluo with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?

It would be a lie for Dugu Bo to say he was not envious.

Tang Hao's tone also turned cold. "Dugu Bo, do you think you have the right to choose?"

"Heh. You think I'm afraid of you?" Dugu Bo sneered.

What a joke. He had backing now. What the hell did Tang Hao have around him right now?

Did he have shit?

Not a single damn thing.

"Heh, Old Poison, don't think you're anything impressive just because you're rank 94 now," Tang Hao said flatly.

He was a rank 95 Super Douluo. Though he carried hidden injuries, his perception had not declined.

Dugu Bo froze, then snorted coldly and said, "Tang Hao, I know exactly what you're capable of. No need to threaten me here."

Tang Hao snorted coldly, and the Clear Sky Hammer slammed hard into the ground.

Boom!

The ground split open, cracks rapidly spreading in every direction.

"What about your granddaughter, then?" Tang Hao smiled disdainfully. "I admit killing you is impossible, but you can't stay by your granddaughter's side forever. Dugu Bo, you wouldn't want your granddaughter living in fear every day, would you?"
