Alarm bells blared in Dugu Bo's mind, and he activated his fifth Soul Skill almost instinctively.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Guardian!"
The second the jade-scaled shield formed, the Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Tianlin's hand came crashing down from above, wreathed in an aura of destruction.
Boom!
With a thunderous crash, the jade-scaled shield instantly shattered into fragments that filled the sky.
The Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer lost none of its force as it slammed into Dugu Bo's chest.
Dugu Bo felt the blood in his body seize up. He flew backward like a kite with its string cut and crashed hard into the cliff face, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it!"
Dugu Bo glanced down at his torn robes, his green eyes nearly spitting fire.
He, a mighty Titled Douluo, had actually been beaten until he coughed blood by a Soul Ancestor.
If word of this got out, wouldn't his reputation as the weakest Titled Douluo be cemented?!
"Boy, since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way!"
"Seventh Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"
Dugu Bo roared, and his Seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up, turning into boundless green light that swallowed him instantly.
The next moment, a gigantic jade-scaled python thirty to forty meters long soared into the sky.
Its coils rose like a mountain, its venomous tongue flickering amid swirling green mist. This was the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!
Looking at the enormous python that blotted out the sky and sun, Tang Tianlin's eyes flashed with disdain.
At the end of the day, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor was merely a Soul Beast that had evolved a trace of sub-dragon blood.
Even true dragons had to submit before him, let alone a gigantic python that did not even qualify as a sub-dragon.
"You lowly mongrel, you dare defy this king!"
As Tang Tianlin's words fell, a dragon's cry suddenly erupted, shaking heaven and earth.
Golden Dragon Roar activated instantly!
Golden dragon might slammed into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's enormous body like a solid wall.
The instant the dragon's cry reached his ears, Dugu Bo heard a buzzing sound, and his mind went blank.
Immediately afterward, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor within him began trembling violently beyond his control.
His newly formed Martial Soul Avatar actually crumbled inch by inch, dissolving into green light that scattered across the sky.
"This..."
Dugu Bo staggered back two steps as though struck by lightning, his face filled with horror.
His Martial Soul Avatar had been shattered by a single roar?!
"You dare let your mind wander while fighting me?"
Seizing the instant Dugu Bo was stunned, Tang Tianlin's right arm muscles bulged, his dragon scales expanded, and his five fingers drew together, transforming into a dragon claw covered in dark gold patterns.
It was one of the Golden Dragon King's strongest killing moves, Golden Dragon Claw!
In a flash, Tang Tianlin pushed off with his right foot, becoming a golden afterimage as he appeared before Dugu Bo in an instant.
The savage, fearsome Golden Dragon Claw rose high and smashed straight down toward Dugu Bo's face.
"What kind of ability is this?!"
Facing the dragon claw descending from above, Dugu Bo could only feel his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul trembling, shrinking back, and begging him to flee.
"Damn it! I'm a mighty Titled Douluo! Why should I fear some greenhorn brat?!"
Dugu Bo bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, forcibly suppressing the urge to kneel in submission as the Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up again.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze!"
At this moment of life and death, Dugu Bo immediately unleashed his strongest defensive Soul Skill.
The next second, an invisible spatial ripple spread from Dugu Bo's body, forcibly bringing everything within a hundred-meter radius to a standstill.
As his strongest lifesaving skill, Time Freeze possessed unparalleled temporal and spatial attributes, allowing him to seal time within a radius of several li in an instant.
But the price was an enormous expenditure of Soul Power, and it could only be used once within a given interval.
Against a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo could only flee after using this move.
After all, his physical strength was already at the very bottom among Titled Douluo, and even with all his strength, he could not kill his opponent in a short time.
But against a Soul Ancestor, his Titled Douluo physique amounted to an attack from a higher dimension.
Tang Tianlin felt the space around him suddenly solidify, forcibly fixing him in place with his claw still poised to strike.
With the danger averted, Dugu Bo raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had a feeling that if that claw had struck him, he would have been half crippled, if not dead.
"Boy, I admit you possess the most heaven-defying talent I've ever seen in my life."
"If you were allowed to grow for another few years, I wouldn't even have the courage to look at you."
"But unfortunately, I'm the one who won this battle!"
As his words fell, Dugu Bo abruptly drew a dark green dagger and stabbed viciously toward Tang Tianlin's heart.
At that critical instant, Tang Tianlin suddenly moved!
He abruptly raised his left hand, precisely catching the incoming blade between two dragon-scaled fingers and locking it firmly in midair.
"You... just what kind of monster are you?!"
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply, and the hand holding his dagger trembled slightly.
His Time Freeze could immobilize even Titled Douluo, so why couldn't it immobilize a Soul Ancestor?!
The corners of Tang Tianlin's mouth rose as he exerted a little force with his left hand.
With a crisp crack, the dark green dagger shattered inch by inch before Dugu Bo's horrified eyes.
"Your Soul Skill is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, dragons do not exist within time."
Earlier in the battle, Tang Tianlin had already used another of the Golden Dragon King's abilities, Golden Dragon Tyrant Body.
Once it was activated, Tang Tianlin became immune to all control effects, his defense tripled for a short time, and he could even absorb enemy attacks and convert them into his own blood energy.
This move could be called the nightmare of every control system Soul Master.
"Dragons do not exist within time..."
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, a glimmer of understanding flashing through his eyes.
"That's the second time you've let your mind wander."
The next second, the Golden Dragon Claw, wrapped in violent blood energy, slammed squarely into Dugu Bo's chest.
Dugu Bo's eyes became bloodshot as he felt an indescribably terrifying force explode in his chest.
He glanced down at his caved-in chest, then looked up at Tang Tianlin. His lips trembled for a long while before he finally squeezed out a single word.
"...Monster."
After saying this, Dugu Bo made no further sound, slumped over, and went to sleep.
A mighty Titled Douluo had fought with everything he had, yet could not win.
Just like that, Tang Tianlin had treated him as a speed bump and rolled right over him.
Of course, this battle had only been so easy thanks to the Golden Dragon King's suppression of beast Martial Souls, which had left Dugu Bo unable to use most of his abilities.
Off to the side, Tang San and Xiao Wu had stood rooted to the spot with their mouths wide open the entire time.
Less than a minute had passed from Tang Tianlin's first attack to Dugu Bo's collapse.
A mighty Titled Douluo had just been... knocked unconscious?
They knew Tang Tianlin was strong, but they had never expected him to be this strong.
A Titled Douluo, one of the continent's most powerful beings, had been handled as easily as a little chick in Tang Tianlin's hands.
It gave them the illusion that they could do it too.
At that moment, Tang San came back to his senses. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he reached Dugu Bo within a few breaths.
"Big Brother, should we kill him?"
A cold gleam flashed through Tang San's eyes as he drew a dagger with a reverse grip, its blade glinting coldly.
This man had just tried to kill Big Brother. He had already earned his death!
"Exactly! Someone like him deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!"
Xiao Wu fanned the flames from the side as well.
The emergence of a single Titled Douluo meant the deaths of countless Soul Beasts.
Although she had joined the Clear Sky Sect, she still subconsciously stood on the side of the Soul Beasts.
Killing a Titled Douluo would count as avenging those Soul Beasts.
