"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The ground beneath the Golden Earth Dragon King churned violently.
Although Tuoba Xuan's attacks could not inflict damage upon it, they were enough to keep it firmly pinned down.
In particular, the soul skill Ten Thousand Jun Tremor caused the earth surrounding the Golden Earth Dragon King to shatter and fly upward, effectively carving out a massive, steep cavern.
Coupled with the pulling force exerted by Void Devour, the Golden Earth Dragon King's movements were now thoroughly obstructed.
After all, the Golden Earth Dragon King was a top-tier defensive soul beast.
Tuoba Xuan's soul power was too low, and Tuoba Xi was also a defense-type soul master.
The two of them could not deal significant damage to the Golden Earth Dragon King.
Therefore, the pressure of the main assault fell upon Dugu Bo.
Just as Dugu Bo's fingers brushed against the storage soul tool at his waist, he was stopped by Tuoba Xuan.
"Don't, Old Poison!"
One must know that Tuoba Xuan had given Dugu Bo a lethal weapon.
That was the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, which could amplify toxins several times over.
Although the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss could not be absorbed by soul masters, it was a supreme treasure for poison-attribute soul masters.
It was no exaggeration to say that with the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss in hand, Dugu Bo's strength could rival a level 97 Title Douluo who was not of the assault or defense type.
Dugu Bo's current soul power was at level 93, and his martial soul had evolved from the Jade Scale Snake Emperor into the Jade Scale Flood Dragon Emperor.
His toxins were already several times stronger than before, and with a treasure like the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss, he could slaughter an entire city in the blink of an eye.
However, the power of the Blood-Colored Swan Kiss was too great; if Dugu Bo used it now, he would likely leave the Sunset Forest a wasteland of death.
Thus, Tuoba Xuan stopped him immediately.
"Grandfather, you hold this beast down. Old Poison, unleash your poison at its mouth and nose."
Tuoba Xuan laid out the tactics in an instant.
Upon hearing Tuoba Xuan's voice, Tuoba Xi did not hesitate in the slightest.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Sacred Armor Binding!"
The Holy Armor Earth Dragon roared, and golden light instantly bound the Golden Earth Dragon King tightly.
"Watch this!"
Dugu Bo's soul power began to climb steadily.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Jade Scale Poison Kill! Fifth Soul Skill: Jade Scale Poison Array!"
Dugu Bo unleashed his two great killing moves.
The Golden Earth Dragon King began to go mad as well, struggling desperately and fearlessly in an attempt to escape.
"Heart of the Mountain Dragon Skill: Might of the Dragon King!"
Tuoba Xuan spread his dragon wings and took to the air, a massive phantom of the Mountain Dragon King crashing down like Mount Tai.
"Boom!"
Tuoba Xuan had pushed the pressure of the Might of the Dragon King to its absolute limit.
This soul-level pressure could bypass strength entirely and strike directly at the enemy's heart.
The Golden Earth Dragon King suddenly felt an irresistible pressure; this pure, superior dragon-kin aura was even more terrifying than the combined attacks of the two Title Douluos, Tuoba Xi and Dugu Bo.
The Golden Earth Dragon King's defenses faltered for a split second.
In an instant, Dugu Bo's attack arrived.
The Jade Scale Severe Poison had completely flooded into every limb and bone of the Golden Earth Dragon King.
"Now, Grandfather!"
Tuoba Xuan shouted a reminder.
"Coming!" Tuoba Xi let out a hearty laugh, his massive figure crashing down from the sky in an instant.
This impact shattered the Golden Earth Dragon King's scales.
Tuoba Xi's sharp claws pierced through the Golden Earth Dragon King's flesh.
A wound deep enough to reveal bone tore from the Golden Earth Dragon King's throat all the way down to its lower abdomen.
The Golden Earth Dragon King let out a single wail, and its life was extinguished completely.
"Grandfather, absorb it quickly!"
Tuoba Xuan warned, for he had just sensed the presence of other soul masters.
Given that the battle here had been so intense, the fact that those soul masters had not immediately fled the Sunset Forest meant that the newcomers were very strong—at the very least, they were Soul Douluo-level powerhouses.
Having just finished a great battle, his soul power was already depleted; if they were attacked now, it would be difficult to resist.
Dugu Bo also sensed the aura of the newcomers, and his expression instantly turned cold.
This was because he was very familiar with two of the soul power auras among them.
"Not good, we have trouble!"
Dugu Bo stopped Tuoba Xi from proceeding to absorb the soul ring.
Tuoba Xi's expression was equally grave, as he could clearly feel two auras among the newcomers that were stronger than his own.
"Brother Dugu, who is coming?"
Tuoba Xi had already prepared himself to fight another battle.
"Old friends have arrived."
Dugu Bo's face grew even gloomier.
"Old friends?" Upon hearing this, Tuoba Xuan seemed to understand the identity of the arrivals.
"It's Spirit Hall!"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Several figures arrived in the blink of an eye.
There were five people in total, one of whom Tuoba Xuan had even met before.
"Yo, Dugu Bo and company!"
The figure who spoke had a complexion of an unnatural, deathly white, wore golden robes, and had heavy eye makeup, looking rather flamboyant.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, what are you doing here?"
Dugu Bo's tone was filled with disdain.
Indeed, the arrivals were none other than Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, and behind him stood Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei.
Behind the two of them stood three others; one of them Tuoba Xuan had seen in Tianshui City—it was Spirit Hall's Saintess, Hu Liena.
As for the other two, Tuoba Xuan could roughly guess their identities; one had a tall, upright build and was filled with a violent aura.
Moreover, this man stood firmly in front of Hu Liena.
He looked every bit like a knight guarding a princess.
If there was no mistake, this man was Yan.
As for the last person, Tuoba Xuan did not recognize him.
He figured it must be a deacon of Spirit Hall.
"Yo, this earth dragon is here too?"
Ghost Douluo's body appeared somewhat illusory, like a shadow.
Tuoba Xi's throat bobbed. "I didn't expect to see Your Excellencies here, and Brother Chen is present as well."
The last man nodded; this person was named Chen Ming, possessing the Ghost Head Bee martial soul, an 82nd-level Soul Douluo.
The group had actually come to the Sunset Forest to hunt for the fifth soul rings for Hu Liena and Yan, who had just advanced to Soul Kings.
Originally, only Chen Ming was leading the team to bring Hu Liena and the others.
But on the way, they ran into Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo and decided to travel together.
"I really didn't expect you two to run into each other."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was extremely shrill.
Dugu Bo let out a cold snort, "Old Chrysanthemum, let's discuss our business another time. What is your purpose here today?"
As if he hadn't heard him, Chrysanthemum Douluo flicked his orchid finger and actually approached Tuoba Xuan.
"Oh my, what a handsome young man. Come, let big brother dote on you!"
Tuoba Xuan's forehead darkened; the scent of rouge on Chrysanthemum Guan was truly suffocating.
Tuoba Xuan pushed Chrysanthemum Guan away with great resistance.
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not feel offended in the slightest.
Tuoba Xuan secretly took a step back, hiding behind his grandfather.
Chrysanthemum Douluo tilted his head and let out a soft hum.
However, due to Chrysanthemum Douluo's recent actions, Hu Liena noticed Tuoba Xuan.
Hu Liena recognized at a glance that Tuoba Xuan was the person who had crashed their event in Tianshui City previously.
He was also the person Spirit Hall had posted notices about and had been searching for so desperately.
"Ghost Grandpa, the person opposite seems to be Long Xuan, the one Teacher is looking for."
Ghost Douluo's gaze instantly locked onto Tuoba Xuan.
"Kid, you really made us search hard for you!"
