Duel! The Ownership of the Medicine Garden

The situation Ying Chengfeng feared most had come to pass.

Dugu Bo was truly proving to be an unsolvable problem at this moment.

The man could unleash his spirit power the very instant a thought crossed his mind.

For the Azure Luan Elder to block all of that spreading spirit power, he would need to expend several times the amount of his own.

In other words, if the Azure Luan Elder wanted to ensure that Ying Chengfeng and the other two remained unharmed, he could not unleash his full strength.

One could even say he couldn't even exert half of his combat power.

Ying Chengfeng looked at Dugu Bo with a grave expression.

He was certain that this guy was truly capable of killing children.

Dugu Bo was indeed a man who feared nothing.

Relying on his mastery of poison, he had become boundless in his arrogance.

However, did he really think Ying Chengfeng was a soft target?

At this moment, Ying Chengfeng pulled Qian Renxue and Yu Feiyan along with him.

He activated his Wind Domain to its full extent, instantly retreating four hundred meters away.

After Ying Chengfeng absorbed his second spirit ring, his Wind Domain had expanded to a radius of four hundred meters.

Following this, Ying Chengfeng said to the Azure Luan Elder, "Grandfather, don't worry about us, kill him!"

In that instant, the Azure Luan Elder immediately moved against Dugu Bo.

He had no choice but to act now.

His own grandson was already intent on killing the man.

Dugu Bo never expected that his own threats would only cause the other party to choose to attack sooner.

While parrying the Azure Luan Elder's strikes, he retreated in the direction Ying Chengfeng and the others had fled.

Those three children had already retreated eight hundred meters away.

Dugu Bo felt a sense of shock and panic in his heart.

He had not expected his opponent to be able to fight him while simultaneously sending the three children to safety.

Indeed, Dugu Bo mistakenly believed that the Azure Luan Elder had sent the three children away.

He had never once considered Ying Chengfeng's own strength.

Dugu Bo fought while retreating, heading toward the direction the three children had left.

The Azure Luan Elder saw through his intentions and let out a cold snort.

"Do you think I would let you pass to touch him? Die!"

As he spoke, the wings on the Azure Luan Elder's back gave a violent flap.

Instantly, countless cyan feathers shot toward Dugu Bo like arrows.

Dugu Bo activated his spirit power barrier to withstand the sky full of feathers.

But his spirit power was still far weaker than the Azure Luan Elder's; he was knocked back dozens of meters, crashing through several large trees.

Puff!

Dugu Bo could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his aura becoming withered.

Seeing the Azure Luan Elder's attack coming again, he gritted his teeth and fought on.

The Azure Luan Elder sensed something strange.

"You aren't running?"

This was completely different from what he had expected.

He was very curious: knowing he was outmatched, why didn't Dugu Bo flee?

This momentary hesitation gave Dugu Bo a chance to catch his breath.

Dugu Bo said in a somewhat weak voice, "You are here to forcibly seize my herb garden, aren't you? If you push me too hard, I don't mind destroying this garden with my own hands."

Hearing this, the Azure Luan Elder hesitated.

The Azure Luan Elder's expression was cold, with a hint of disdain, as he said, "First you used children as a threat, and now you've switched to threatening me with the herb garden?"

"Heh, Poison Douluo, I overestimated you before."

Humiliated so nakedly by the Azure Luan Elder, Dugu Bo ground his teeth until they clicked.

But seeing that the Azure Luan Elder did not press the attack, Dugu Bo felt a sense of relief and said:

"You really are here to plunder my herb garden. Such blatant robbery—is that not just the pot calling the kettle black?"

The Azure Luan Elder did not speak, instead observing his surroundings.

At this moment, a large patch of the surrounding trees had rotted away.

It was only because his own spirit power was profound that he had not been invaded by Dugu Bo's poisonous gas.

At this moment, Azure Luan Elder withdrew his gaze.

He looked back at Dugu Bo and said, "You could have easily destroyed this herb garden before fleeing, and I might not have been able to stop you."

"But since you have no intention of leaving, I suspect you must be held back by something."

Azure Luan Elder stared intently at Dugu Bo's face, not letting a single flicker of expression escape him.

He saw a hint of evasion in Dugu Bo's eyes.

"It seems I guessed correctly; you don't dare to destroy this herb garden, or perhaps, there is someone inside."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo could no longer hide his reaction.

"It seems that is the case." Azure Luan Elder smiled.

A look of helplessness and conflict flashed across Dugu Bo's face as he said, "Perhaps we can talk about this."

Azure Luan Elder did not reply immediately, instead calling out to Ying Chengfeng in the distance, "What do you say?"

Ying Chengfeng, currently standing on a treetop eight hundred meters away, replied, "If he agrees to let us borrow the herb garden for a time, then we can talk."

Having heard this, Azure Luan Elder looked back at Dugu Bo, remaining silent.

He was applying pressure to Dugu Bo.

Facing an Azure Luan Elder like this, Dugu Bo could not fathom the other party's intentions at all.

An unfathomable intent meant the unknown, and Dugu Bo could not seize the initiative.

But he could not afford to wait.

"What do you want, Your Excellency? State your terms." Dugu Bo sighed slightly.

He was destined to remain in a passive position for this negotiation.

Azure Luan Elder chuckled, "We already stated our conditions."

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, restraining his anger, and said, "There are countless rare herbs in this garden that I have painstakingly cultivated. Can you guarantee you won't touch them?"

Azure Luan Elder's eyes narrowed instantly, his tone turning cold, "I said we are borrowing the garden for a time; during this period, the garden belongs to us."

"Don't push me too far!" Dugu Bo raised his voice, "At worst, I'll destroy these treasures, and no one will have them."

At this, Ying Chengfeng spoke up, "We will take at most half."

"Half!?" Dugu Bo glared at Ying Chengfeng.

This child, who didn't look very old, had an appetite that was anything but small.

Ying Chengfeng shrugged, "Your granddaughter is nearby too, isn't she? Hidden in the herb garden, right?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's body shuddered violently.

At this moment, the sense of danger Ying Chengfeng gave him was even more intense than that of Azure Luan Elder.

Ying Chengfeng continued, "I don't particularly like threatening people. How about I have a match with your granddaughter?"

"You?" Dugu Bo frowned as he looked at Ying Chengfeng.

If it were before, he wouldn't have taken Ying Chengfeng seriously.

But now, the other party actually knew his granddaughter was here.

This was terrifying.

Did the other party sense it? Or did he use some ability he couldn't comprehend?

Even the mysterious Title Douluo he was fighting had only guessed that someone was here.

Yet this child could directly name exactly who it was.

After a moment, Dugu Bo said, "What happens if you win? And what if you lose?"

"If I win, this herb garden belongs to us," Ying Chengfeng said.

For a long time, Dugu Bo waited, but no further words came from Ying Chengfeng.

He asked anxiously, "And if you lose?"

"The herb garden belongs to us," Ying Chengfeng repeated.

Just as Dugu Bo was about to explode in anger, Ying Chengfeng added, "It is impossible for me to lose."

This was the first time Dugu Bo had seen such an arrogant junior.

The child looked to be only seven or eight years old; at most, he had obtained one soul ring, right?

How dare he claim he wouldn't lose?

Dugu Bo snorted, "My granddaughter is thirteen years old and a 24th-level Soul Grand Master. If you lose, I will give you a few rare herbs at most, and we shall consider this matter settled. How about that?"

For Dugu Bo to say this was already a massive concession.

"Fine," Ying Chengfeng curled his lips, "Then please have your granddaughter come out for a fight."
