Qian Jun Douluo stepped in, and Chrysanthemum Douluo grew jumpy (1 / 2)

"Whoever you are, if you come to Spirit City playing mysterious tricks, you won't escape a crushing blow from my staff!"

Qian Jun Douluo gripped his Coiling Dragon Staff, his gaze sharp and his bearing fierce and imposing.

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a smile, "How imposing, Qian Jun Douluo! Let's find the little brat behind these sneak attacks and see who he really is!"

"Once we catch him, I'll skin him alive!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke in a shrill voice.

The repeated sneak attacks had left him burning with fury.

With Qian Jun Douluo's help, he felt certain they could force their opponent to reveal himself and capture him.

Even a Titled Douluo couldn't run wild in Spirit City!

Li Tianyuan hadn't expected Qian Jun Douluo to appear out of nowhere. If he remembered correctly, the man came from the Worship Hall and wasn't on good terms with Bibi Dong.

More precisely, he wouldn't obey Bibi Dong's orders.

His appearance meant the Worship Hall had also learned what was happening.

The matter between Bibi Dong and Li Tianyuan might already have been exposed.

Could Qian Daoliu have given some instructions?

Li Tianyuan pondered this.

He hasn't come here specifically to kill me, has he?

Something occurred to Li Tianyuan.

Otherwise, Qian Daoliu wouldn't casually dispatch a level 96 Titled Douluo.

Fortunately, Qian Jun Douluo still hadn't detected any trace of him.

Once he understood this, Li Tianyuan grew cautious.

Bibi Dong might still spare his life for the sake of their past affection.

But Qian Daoliu certainly wouldn't.

[Ding! Mission triggered: injure a Douluo to receive a system reward.]

Suddenly, the system's voice sounded again.

Injure a Douluo? Does it want me to fight these two Titled Douluos?

Li Tianyuan frowned.

But he had just tested Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength, and the man's abilities weren't all that impressive.

Since the system had issued a mission, he would have to squeeze the reward out of him.

As for Qian Jun Douluo, Li Tianyuan wouldn't let him off either if the opportunity arose. After all, he was connected to Qian Daoliu.

He immediately used the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Steps to approach Chrysanthemum Douluo, intending to make his nose bleed.

That should count as injuring a Douluo.

His soul skill wasn't suited to attacking, after all, and he wouldn't bring out the God-Slaying Spear unless he had absolutely no other choice.

Li Tianyuan raised his hand, preparing to deliver a vicious slap.

Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed to react. With a loud shout, he swept his enormous chrysanthemum outward, forcing Li Tianyuan to sidestep and keep looking for an opening.

"Who are you? Who dares attack a Titled Douluo?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted angrily, his voice shrill.

He had just sensed that he seemed to be about to come under attack again.

Fortunately, he had reacted in time.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's getting jumpy!

Li Tianyuan had intended to claim his reward through Chrysanthemum Douluo, but he hadn't expected the man to become so sensitive after being toyed with.

Now he could only wait a while or try Qian Jun Douluo instead!

Qian Jun Douluo was a big fellow, but as long as Li Tianyuan landed a slap on his nose, it should work.

Ignoring Chrysanthemum Douluo's shouting, Li Tianyuan turned and landed three steps away from Qian Jun Douluo.

First, he wanted to see whether the man could detect him at close range.

This was a level 96 Titled Douluo, someone considerably stronger than Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Qian Jun Douluo was surveying his surroundings with his Coiling Dragon Staff in hand and appeared unaware of Li Tianyuan's presence.

Perfect opportunity!

Using the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Steps, Li Tianyuan closed in on Qian Jun Douluo and swung a vicious slap at his nose.

Smack!

With a crisp crack, his palm struck Qian Jun Douluo's solid face hard.

But it hadn't hit his nose.

At the last instant, Qian Jun Douluo seemed to have reacted, sparing his nose from damage.

"You're courting death!"

Qian Jun Douluo flew into a rage and smashed his Coiling Dragon Staff straight ahead.

With a thunderous crash, the blow split the ground.

But after landing his strike, Li Tianyuan had already stepped away.

Chrysanthemum Douluo noticed the commotion and looked toward Qian Jun Douluo's face, where a conspicuous handprint stood out.

The slap looked painful.

He rather unkindly began to snicker.

Qian Jun Douluo glared at him. Seeing the smile spreading across Chrysanthemum Douluo's face, he roared, "Old Chrysanthemum, what are you laughing at?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly suppressed his smile and said sheepishly, "Qian Jun Douluo, what happened? Even you got hit!"

"Did you get a good look? What exactly was it?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at him.

"I don't know. That thing comes without a shadow and leaves without a trace. It must be an expert with a Space Martial Soul!"

"He's lurking in Spirit City, so he must have some ulterior motive!"

"We have to find him!"

Qian Jun Douluo clenched his fist and surveyed their surroundings, his voice cold.

"Even you couldn't see what it was?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was slightly startled. He knew the man was a Titled Douluo above level 95, considerably stronger than himself, yet even he hadn't managed to discern their opponent's identity.

The hidden figure seemed rather frightening.

He touched his cheek, wary of getting slapped himself.

"Whoever you are, offending two Titled Douluos won't bear sweet fruit for you!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted warily at their surroundings.

His tone carried both a threat and a warning.

This Old Chrysanthemum really has become jumpy. But since it's hard to squeeze a reward out of Qian Jun Douluo, I'll have to go after you!

Standing in a particular position, Li Tianyuan watched Chrysanthemum Douluo's cautious demeanor and decided to think of a way to make his nose bleed with a single blow.

"Old Chrysanthemum, I think that fellow is hiding somewhere nearby. Use your soul skill immediately, and I'll find him!"

At that moment, Qian Jun Douluo seemed to have found a way to deal with Li Tianyuan and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't call me Old Chrysanthemum. Call me Moonlight!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was displeased. He was the dignified Chrysanthemum Douluo, yet being called that name immediately stripped him of his stature.

"Stop wasting words and use your soul skill!"

Qian Jun Douluo snapped angrily.

"Fine!"

Without hesitation, Chrysanthemum Douluo swung the enormous Strange Towering Chrysanthemum in his hand. In an instant, countless petals burst from it, rapidly spreading like golden blades.

They seemed to fill the entire space!

Anyone within the petals' attack range would find it difficult to escape.

Anyone hiding would be forced to reveal himself.

Yet beneath the sky full of petals, nothing unusual appeared.

Using the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Steps, Li Tianyuan easily evaded the wave of attacks.

His soul skill drew upon not only space but also time.

With time and space reinforcing each other, it was mysterious and unpredictable.

No matter how carefully Qian Jun Douluo watched, he probably had no way to locate him.

Especially from farther away.

"Qian Jun Douluo, how did it go? Have you found him?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help asking, even as he continued looking around.

That last attack had consumed quite a bit of his soul power.

But there seemed to have been no unusual movement.
