The battle between the two reached a stalemate.

Sword light crisscrossed the official road, and golden petals danced wildly through the air.

On the other side.

"Kid, this old man won't bully the young. If you obediently come with me, I won't touch a single hair on your head. But if you resist..."

"Then don't blame this old man for not knowing his own strength."

Gu Qingshan looked at him and spat out the Blue Silver Leaf in his mouth.

"So much nonsense."

Gu Rong's expression darkened.

He did not want to wait any longer; this kid had a venomous tongue.

He spread his right hand, and five bone spurs grew from his fingertips, each half a foot long and sharp as knives.

He did not use a soul skill, as in his view, using one against a twelve-year-old child would be a waste.

His right hand reached toward Gu Qingshan's shoulder.

Gu Qingshan did not dodge.

"First Soul Skill: Copper Wall and Iron Bastion."

"Fifth Soul Skill: Defensive Stance."

The shield in his hand expanded rapidly, forming a layer of defensive light that completely blocked Gu Qingshan from view.

Gu Rong's right hand grabbed the light screen, which fluctuated violently before shattering after a single breath.

Passing through the screen, Gu Rong grabbed the Thorn Shield, but in the end, the Thorn Shield blocked his ordinary attack without a scratch.

As for Gu Rong, Gu Rong was sent flying.

His body flew backward for over thirty meters, slamming into the road and sending dust rising like a mushroom cloud.

Wah! Pfft!

Gu Rong spat out a large mouthful of blood, his right hand hanging limp and dripping with gore.

Lying on the ground, Gu Rong was stunned.

What just happened?

He had grabbed that kid once.

Just once, and he hadn't even broken the shield.

Yet his right hand was ruined, his internal organs were displaced, and he had sustained heavy injuries.

What kind of hellish thing was that kid's damage reflection?

He had been careless and hadn't dodged!

Gu Qingshan tilted his head to look at the Thorn Shield, finding it completely undamaged, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Is that it?"

Hearing this, Gu Rong's face turned bright red, then shifted to a sickly green, with veins throbbing at his temples.

Humiliation!

A dignified space-type and defense-type Bone Douluo, today he had been bounced back by a mere youth!

"Avatar of the Martial Soul!"

A layer of grayish-white bone armor instantly appeared on the surface of Gu Rong's body, covering every inch of his skin from head to toe in hard bone.

Behind him, the massive phantom of a Bone Dragon solidified completely, its wings spreading to blot out the sun.

This kid's damage reflection was bizarre.

He had to get serious!

Gu Rong climbed up from the ground, the earth beneath his feet cracking and sinking. His eyes turned grayish-white, filled with a killing intent that sought to destroy everything.

"Little beast, you are courting death."

Since he could not be captured, he would be killed.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Bone Transformation Divine Dragon."

The materialized Bone Dragon behind him instantly grew to a hundred meters in size, charging toward Gu Qingshan.

This was Gu Rong's strongest attack skill, and it carried the effect of spatial imprisonment.

Gu Qingshan looked at the figure blotting out the sky, still not dodging.

He was waiting.

Waiting for Gu Rong's attack to land on him.

"Defensive Stance."

BOOM!!!

Dust billowed, obscuring vision, while a massive crater vaguely appeared on the ground.

"Your Highness, Martial Soul Hall Holy Son!" Chrysanthemum Douluo used Myriad Rays of Flowing Light to break free from Chen Xin's entanglement, rushing toward Gu Qingshan at top speed.

As he passed Gu Rong's position, he discovered a headless corpse lying on the ground.

It was Gu Rong!

His head had been blown apart, and unidentifiable fluids were splattered everywhere.

Before death, Gu Rong had finally realized how monstrous Gu Qingshan's damage reflection was; even though he had diverted the attack through a Space Gate beforehand, it had been completely useless, leaving him to watch helplessly as the rebounded energy passed through the Space Gate and struck him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyelids twitched wildly. Gu Rong was dead?

There was no time to dwell on it; without a moment's hesitation, he dove straight into the crater.

Amidst the swirling dust, Gu Qingshan knelt on one knee, propping his shield against the ground, his breathing ragged.

"Your Highness, how are you?"

Gu Qingshan looked up at Yue Guan with an expressionless face: "Not a big problem."

"Third Spirit Ability: Indomitable Will."

He immediately activated the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone in his right leg to recover from his injuries.

In just three breaths, his wounds were nearly healed, and his health bar had returned to full.

"I'm fine now."

Yue Guan: "..."

Although Gu Rong was a defense-type spirit master, he was still a level 95 Title Douluo. Yet, their own level 70 Martial Soul Hall Holy Son had not only blown Gu Rong apart but also recovered from his injuries in the span of a few breaths.

His worry had been completely unnecessary!

What followed was joy; the Martial Soul Hall Holy Son was truly too monstrous, even more perverted than Bibi Dong, the possessor of Twin Martial Souls!

On the other side.

Chen Xin discovered Gu Rong's mangled corpse.

"No... Old Bone!"

Chen Xin's eyes turned red. He could hardly believe that the old companion he bickered with every day had just died like this, killed by a twelve-year-old boy.

"Gu... Qingshan!"

"Die!"

"Seven Kill Domain."

"Ninth Spirit Ability: God and Demon Dual Slash."

Giant black and white swords crossed, carrying world-destroying energy as they slashed down toward Gu Qingshan.

"Your Highness, watch out!"

"Chrysanthemum withers, the ground is full of wounds, flowers fall and hearts break."

Countless petals transformed into crescent blades, forming a massive golden tornado. In his haste, Yue Guan could only use his ninth spirit ability defensively to block Chen Xin's God and Demon Dual Slash.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

"Screech!"

As expected of Sword Douluo Chen Xin, coupled with the weakening effect of the Seven Kill Domain, Yue Guan's golden tornado was shredded to pieces.

The remaining power of the God and Demon Dual Slash struck Gu Qingshan's Thorn Shield.

"Bang!"

For the first time, the Thorn Shield was shattered, and Gu Qingshan was sent flying.

At the same time, a sword-shaped energy shot out, slashing toward Chen Xin.

Seeing this, Chen Xin's eyelids twitched violently.

"Spirit Sword Guard."

Countless sword qi formed a protective barrier, enveloping him.

However, it was completely useless!

"Screech!"

The sword-shaped energy passed through the protective barrier without any obstruction.

Chen Xin's right arm was severed at the shoulder, forcing him to live the life of a disabled person ahead of schedule!

"Ahhh!!!"

This Martial Soul Hall Holy Son was a monster!

Old Bone was already dead; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not afford to lose everyone here!

Suppressing the horror in his heart and ignoring his severed arm, Chen Xin turned and fled, soaring into the sky at top speed and disappearing above the main road.

"Cough, cough... cough."

Gu Qingshan struggled to his feet; this was the first time he had suffered such a severe injury, even his Thorn Shield had been shattered.

"Indomitable Will."

"Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone."

A moment later, Gu Qingshan recovered, his injuries no longer posing a major threat.

It had to be said, the healing ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Leg Bone was truly heaven-defying.

Yue Guan looked at the devastated imperial road, then at the severed arm and the corpse of Gu Rong on the ground, his mouth agape.

The two renowned Douluo of the continent, the Sword and Bone, had been left one dead and one crippled by the Holy Son. He, Elder Chrysanthemum of the Martial Soul Hall, had done nothing but watch from the sidelines the entire time.

If word of this got out, even Bibi Dong probably wouldn't believe it!

Gu Qingshan glanced at the carriage, which had miraculously remained completely unscathed.

"Elder Chrysanthemum."

"This subordinate is here."

"Depart, Shrek Academy."
