Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Strikes! Ferocious Beast Might! Dugu Bo Panics!

Yu Hairou took a light breath.

"Is this really the third soul skill?"

"Even a Soul Douluo's eighth soul skill might not possess such power."

Shui Bing'er said nothing.

Her aquamarine eyes remained fixed on Qian Chen.

At eighteen, Qian Chen was already capable of suppressing a Titled Douluo head-on.

The person who had once stood behind the Skywater Team and frozen the Imperial Fighting Team with a wave of his hand now stood before the strongest experts on the continent.

The fingers Xue Qinghe kept hidden inside her sleeve slowly tightened.

The power of Myriad Blades Ice Tribulation had already exceeded her expectations.

Even though Qian Chen had only seven soul rings, the battle prowess he displayed was far beyond that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

Dugu Bo lowered his head and glanced at his shoulder.

The frost was still spreading toward his chest.

He circulated his Soul Power, finally suppressing the bone-chilling force.

"What a Myriad Blades Ice Tribulation."

"I really did underestimate you."

The seventh soul ring beneath Dugu Bo's feet suddenly lit up.

"Seventh soul skill, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Avatar!"

A dark green pillar of light shot into the sky.

Dugu Bo's body rapidly merged into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Its enormous body continued expanding, soon surpassing a hundred meters.

The thick serpent body coiled before the auction house.

Every scale was the size of a millstone.

Jade-green poisonous mist poured from between the scales, quickly blackening the surrounding jade surfaces.

The enormous serpent head rose high.

Two dark-golden vertical pupils looked down at Qian Chen.

Each flick of its tongue stirred up great clouds of poisonous mist.

The pressure of a Titled Douluo descended in full force.

The light above the auction house was blocked by the serpent's body.

Shui Yue'er looked up, her face rapidly paling.

"Martial Soul Avatar..."

"Qian Chen actually forced Poison Douluo to this point."

Xue Wu and the others supported one another, barely managing not to stagger backward under the pressure.

Soul Power circulated within Shui Bing'er's body.

A layer of pale-blue ice armor covered her.

Yet she still felt a tightness in her chest.

The shock in Xue Qinghe's eyes could no longer be concealed.

Facing an eighteen-year-old soul master, Dugu Bo had actually used his Martial Soul Avatar immediately.

That alone proved that Qian Chen had made him feel a genuine threat.

Dugu Yan stood behind the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Looking at the enormous serpent body that blocked the entire street, she grew increasingly nervous.

At first, she had only wanted her grandfather to stand up for her.

But things had long since slipped beyond her control.

"Grandfather!"

"Why don't we just forget it?"

Dugu Yan glanced at Qian Chen in midair.

His white brocade robe fluttered lightly in the cold air.

That handsome face remained calm.

Thinking of how Qian Chen had just patted her hand, heat rose to her cheeks again.

"I don't seem to be that angry anymore."

Dugu Bo ignored her.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor looked down at Qian Chen.

"Being able to force me to use my Martial Soul Avatar means you are indeed impressive."

"At eighteen, you possess eightieth-level Soul Power and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Across the entire continent, I cannot find a second person who compares to you."

The enormous serpent head slowly drew closer.

"As long as you apologize to Yanyan now, I can let bygones be bygones."

Dugu Bo paused for a moment.

"Yanyan has reached the age when she should start discussing marriage."

"If you are willing, I can betroth her to you."

Dugu Yan stood frozen in place.

Her aquamarine eyes widened rapidly.

"Grandfather!"

"What are you talking about?"

The flush spread from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.

Dugu Yan instinctively looked toward Qian Chen.

The instant their eyes met, she immediately turned her face away.

Shui Yue'er stepped forward angrily.

"That's shameless!"

"You can't beat Qian Chen, so now you want to marry your granddaughter to him."

Xue Wu also frowned.

"Dugu Bo clearly took a fancy to Qian Chen's talent."

Yu Hairou looked toward Dugu Yan.

"She was just demanding an accounting from Qian Chen, and now she's going to marry him."

Shui Bing'er's slender fingers clenched the hem of her skirt.

She raised her eyes to Qian Chen, her heartbeat already thrown into disarray.

Dugu Yan was exceptionally beautiful.

She was tall, with long, slender legs.

She also had a Titled Douluo behind her.

With conditions like these, an ordinary soul master would never refuse.

"Qian Chen won't agree, will he..."

Shui Bing'er lightly bit her red lips.

Xue Qinghe's expression also darkened.

She cursed inwardly:

"This old bastard really knows how to scheme."

"Unable to beat him, he wants to send his granddaughter to Qian Chen's side."

"He certainly won't suffer any loss."

Anger flashed through Ice Empress's eyes.

She stepped forward.

Her dark green short skirt swayed lightly, while her aquamarine hair fell from behind her shoulders.

"What kind of ability is bullying someone weaker?"

"If you have the guts, fight me!"

Ice Empress raised her right hand.

Her slender, pale palm pressed casually toward the front.

Boom!

A surge of Soul Power far greater than before descended abruptly.

The entire street sank violently downward.

The stone steps outside the auction house instantly turned to dust, while aquamarine cold light covered a radius of a thousand meters.

The air froze completely.

Even Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Avatar paused under this force.

Shui Bing'er's breath caught.

She looked at Ice Empress standing before them, her eyes filled with shock.

For the past six years, Ice Empress had stayed by Qian Chen's side.

She rarely acted at the academy.

Everyone had assumed she was merely an attendant Qian Chen had brought back from the Far North.

No one had expected that this woman, whose appearance had not changed in six years, possessed strength no weaker than a Titled Douluo.

Shui Yue'er raised her head with difficulty.

"Ice Empress is actually this strong?"

Xue Wu could no longer speak.

Standing behind Ice Empress, they were still crushed by that pressure until they could barely breathe.

The golden radiance around Xue Qinghe's body fluctuated violently.

Looking at Ice Empress's petite back, she was secretly astonished.

"No wonder she has never feared anyone."

"Qian Chen has actually had a powerhouse like this beside him all along."

Dugu Yan hid behind the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

There was no trace of ease left on her face.

"Is this woman also a Titled Douluo?"

"No wonder Qian Chen has always been so fearless."

She looked up at her grandfather.

Facing the Soul Power released by Ice Empress, even the enormous Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor had failed to gain the upper hand.

For the first time, Dugu Yan felt uncertain.

She did not know whether her grandfather could defeat Ice Empress.

Dugu Bo's dark-golden vertical pupils contracted.

This power had already surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

With nothing more than a casual lift of her hand, she had suppressed his Martial Soul Avatar.

Dugu Bo was still unwilling to submit.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor suddenly raised its head, and the ninth black soul ring rose into the sky.

"Ninth soul skill, Jade Phosphorous Divine Light!"

The enormous Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor rapidly turned transparent.

Dugu Bo's body also transformed into translucent jade.

His flesh, bones, and meridians were all covered by aquamarine radiance.

Vast poisonous power surged from his body into the sky.

The entire sky was dyed a deep green.

Countless strands of Jade Phosphorous Divine Light wound around the serpent body, each ray corroding the ground into a pitch-black pit.

The hundred-meter serpent emperor coiled within the aquamarine light.

Its dark-golden vertical pupils fixed on the front.

Terrifying pressure once again suppressed the entire scene, while the Jade Phosphorous Divine Light illuminated the entire street.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor transformed from Dugu Bo coiled in midair, its enormous body blocking the light above the auction house.

All nine soul rings flashed simultaneously.

As that pressure descended, even the surrounding air began to twist.
