Dugu Bo VS Qian Chen! Picking on Someone Younger?!

Dugu Bo stared at Qian Chen's feet.

For the first time, he doubted whether his understanding of a Soul Master's limits was correct.

The next moment.

The seventh Soul Ring rose.

Crimson light illuminated the entire street.

An immense pressure spread from the Soul Ring.

That patch of crimson even caused the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor behind Dugu Bo to freeze for a moment.

Shui Bing'er covered her red lips.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring..."

Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and the others were already speechless.

How powerful was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Even if a Titled Douluo personally took action, they might not be able to kill one.

Yet Qian Chen possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his seventh Soul Ring.

Xue Qinghe's heart jolted violently.

Spirit Hall had many Titled Douluo.

Yet those who truly possessed Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings could still be counted on one hand.

Qian Chen had gained such power before even reaching the Soul Douluo realm.

Dugu Yan shook her head repeatedly.

"Impossible."

"How could the seventh Soul Ring be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

Dugu Bo did not respond to his granddaughter.

He looked at Qian Chen, deep wariness now filling his eyes.

Such a Soul Ring configuration.

Such cultivation speed.

Other than Spirit Hall, he could not think of any force capable of nurturing someone like this.

"Who exactly are you?"

Qian Chen raised his eyes to look at him.

"You don't need to know."

Dugu Bo's expression immediately darkened.

"Fine."

"Then this old man will personally uncover your true identity!"

His third Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Hallucinogenic Poison Mist!"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor opened its massive jaws.

Dark green poison gas poured forth.

The poisonous mist blanketed the sky, rapidly forming an enormous toxic barrier.

The moment the stone steps touched the poison gas, vast patches of corrosion appeared across their surfaces.

The nearby grass and trees instantly withered.

Even the jade walls outside the auction house were stained dark green.

Shui Bing'er's scalp went numb.

The toxic barrier covered far too wide an area.

Once caught inside, ordinary Soul Masters would not last even a moment.

She instinctively stepped forward.

"Qian Chen, be careful!"

As Dugu Yan watched the poison mist spread in every direction, the anger on her face quickly turned to worry.

She had only wanted her grandfather to teach Qian Chen a lesson.

Why had Dugu Bo used Hallucinogenic Poison Mist the moment he attacked?

"Grandfather!"

"Don't really kill him!"

Soul Power rapidly circulated within Xue Qinghe's body.

She was already prepared to intervene by force.

Just as the toxic barrier was about to swallow Qian Chen, the temperature around them suddenly plunged.

Moisture condensed into white frost.

Everyone shivered.

Qian Chen's second Soul Ring bloomed with purple light.

"Second Soul Skill, Holy Blizzard!"

The Heavenly Snow Woman stepped out from behind him.

Her silver-white hair flew as a blizzard suddenly descended from the sky.

A fierce wind swept snowflakes into the toxic barrier.

Every snowflake carried the power of extreme cold.

The dark green poisonous mist froze one patch after another, turning into tiny ice pellets that fell to the ground.

The blizzard did not stop.

It tore through the toxic barrier and swept toward Dugu Bo with a chill capable of freezing all things.

Light returned to Shui Yue'er's eyes.

"He blocked it!"

"Qian Chen's Soul Skill counters the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison!"

Dugu Bo's expression changed.

His Hallucinogenic Poison Mist could not penetrate that storm of snow.

The cold was even spreading backward along the poison mist.

Dugu Bo immediately raised his hand.

His fifth Soul Ring lit up.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Serpent Python Heavenly Shield!"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled before him.

Layers of dark green scales closed together, forming an enormous snake-patterned shield of light.

The blizzard crashed against the shield.

Thick ice rapidly covered the snake-patterned shield.

The stone steps beneath Dugu Bo cracked backward.

He blocked the oncoming wind and snow, and his sixth Soul Ring immediately lit up after that.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Death Fang!"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor abruptly raised its head.

Dark green Soul Power gathered in midair, condensing into a poisonous snake dozens of meters long.

Its two fangs gleamed purple-black.

Venom dripped from their tips, corroding two deep pits into the stone slabs below before it even touched the ground.

The giant venomous snake shot forward in an instant.

Its jaws opened wide, biting directly toward Qian Chen's body.

It was so fast that Dugu Yan could see only a dark green afterimage.

The next moment.

Qian Chen vanished from where he stood.

Death Fang struck empty air.

The giant snake head crashed into the street, shattering dozens of bluestone slabs on the spot.

"Where is he?"

Dugu Yan swiftly looked around.

Shui Bing'er and the others had likewise failed to see how Qian Chen had left.

Xue Qinghe looked up into the air.

There was not a single figure there.

Qian Chen had simply vanished from everyone's sight.

Dugu Bo released his spiritual power, searching every trace of Soul Power nearby.

Yet he still could not find Qian Chen's location.

A patch of white frost silently appeared in midair.

Then came a second.

A third.

Frost continued to condense.

The sunlight above the auction house rapidly dimmed.

Tens of thousands of ice blades emerged in the air.

Every ice blade pointed at Dugu Bo.

Qian Chen appeared amid the frost filling the sky.

His third black Soul Ring bloomed with deep radiance.

"Third Soul Skill."

"Myriad Blades Ice Tribulation!"

The countless ice blades trembled at once.

The next moment.

Cold light poured down.

Countless ice blades tore through the sky, shooting toward Dugu Bo like a raging storm with piercing cold.

Every ice blade was condensed from the power of extreme cold.

Wherever they passed, the air froze in succession, leaving trails of white frost behind.

Dugu Bo looked up.

There was no longer the slightest gap within his field of vision.

Ice blades descended from every direction, sealing off all his paths of retreat.

"Serpent Python Heavenly Shield!"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor swiftly coiled up.

Layers of dark green scales stacked atop one another as the enormous snake-patterned shield stood before Dugu Bo.

The first ice blade struck the shield.

Bang!

Ice fragments scattered in every direction.

The second blade.

The third blade.

Thousands upon thousands of ice blades fell one after another.

The dense impacts made the entire long street shake violently.

The stone steps shattered layer by layer.

The jade walls outside the auction house were also carved with countless cracks by the shockwaves.

The Serpent Python Heavenly Shield was swiftly covered in frost.

Dark green Soul Power surged without end, yet it could not force back the cold invading it.

Dugu Bo's expression became solemn.

He poured Soul Power into the shield.

The scales on the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's body lit up one after another.

Yet Myriad Blades Ice Tribulation still did not stop.

An even larger ice blade emerged behind Qian Chen.

The Heavenly Snow Woman raised her jade-like hand.

The enormous ice blade stretched across dozens of meters as it slashed down toward the Serpent Python Heavenly Shield.

Boom!

The snake-patterned shield sank sharply.

The ground beneath Dugu Bo instantly collapsed.

Fine cracks appeared at the center of the shield's surface, spreading to every corner in the blink of an eye.

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted.

"Block it for this old man!"

Emerald Soul Power erupted in full.

The Serpent Python Heavenly Shield still could not hold on.

Crack!

The entire shield shattered with a thunderous blast.

Countless dark green fragments of light scattered down.

The remaining ice blades pierced through the shattered light and continued shooting toward Dugu Bo.

He swept his sleeve, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor spat out poisonous gas in rapid succession, finally shattering the ice blades closing in on him.

The last ice blade grazed his shoulder.

A gash was cut into his dark green robe.

A layer of white frost swiftly spread across the fabric.

Dugu Bo retreated several steps.

The entire street fell completely silent.

Shui Yue'er's eyes widened.

"The Poison Douluo's defensive soul skill was shattered head-on by Qian Chen?"

Xue Wu looked up at Qian Chen in midair.

That white figure stood amid ice crystals filling the sky.

The Heavenly Snow Woman floated behind him, her silver-white hair drifting with the snowflakes.

The third black soul ring still gleamed.

The remaining ice blades filled the sky.

Just one glance was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
