Bringing Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo Breaks Into a Cold Sweat
"What? You're telling me to get lost?"
Dugu Bo's face instantly turned livid.
He was a dignified Titled Douluo, yet someone dared tell him to get lost?
How many years had it been!
How many years had it been since anyone dared speak to him like that!
Killing intent surged from Dugu Bo. "You really are arrogant to the extreme! You trespass on my territory, intending to steal my herbs, and you dare tell me to get lost!!"
"I think you're tired of living!!"
"Hisss~"
The enormous Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul appeared behind Dugu Bo, wreathed in a dark presence. Beneath his feet, two yellow, yellow and purple, and five black rings all appeared.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm. "I advise you not to court death."
"Court death? Hahahaha! I'd like to see what abilities you have to dare act so wildly!!"
Dugu Bo charged at them, laughing wildly.
He would not act unless he meant to, but once he did, he would give it his all.
Dugu Bo was decisive. His eyes turned utterly vicious in that instant as he lunged at them. "Die!!"
"You really won't listen to advice." Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head and unleashed a violent punch.
"Facing me without even using your Martial Soul? You're courting death!" Dugu Bo smirked wickedly and, brimming with confidence, concentrated an enormous poisonous attack into his fist, meeting Golden Crocodile Douluo's punch head-on.
Bang!
And yet?
In an instant, the smile vanished from Dugu Bo's face.
The next second, Dugu Bo spewed blood on the spot and was sent flying by Golden Crocodile Douluo's punch.
"Gwaaah~"
Dugu Bo slammed hard into the ground, drenched in sweat and terrified. "How is that possible?! One punch without a Martial Soul... nearly injured me seriously!"
"You... who exactly are you?!"
"Who am I? You're barely qualified to know my name." Golden Crocodile Douluo released his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul. Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red ring rose beneath his feet.
A domineering voice rang out. "Listen well! I am Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Worship of Spirit Hall!"
"You... you're actually Golden Crocodile Douluo, who disappeared without a trace decades ago!"
Dugu Bo panicked.
He could sense from the presence Golden Crocodile Douluo emitted that he was no opponent for someone like him, a level 91 Titled Douluo.
If he fought an expert like this, he would surely die!
Run!
That was Dugu Bo's only thought now!
"Hmph! It's a little late to think of running now." Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, and his peak level 98 Soul Power instantly suppressed Dugu Bo.
Boom!
Dugu Bo's legs were welded firmly to the spot, and he could barely move. "I can't move!"
He lost his nerve.
Though Dugu Bo cherished these Immortal Herbs dearly, he did not know how to use them or what they did. Compared to the herbs, his life was more important.
"Senior Golden Crocodile, wait! I was blind just now. They're only some rare herbs. If you want them, take them. I have nothing to say!" Dugu Bo's expression was ugly.
"Only now do you know to back down? Too late! I gave you a chance!" Golden Crocodile Douluo was intent on killing him. "Someone like you would surely hold a grudge if we stripped this place bare of herbs today. In that case, I'll kill you to prevent future trouble."
"Damn it!"
"You want to kill me? It won't be that easy!"
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, a ruthless look returning to his face. "Seventh Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Avatar!"
Activating his Martial Soul Avatar allowed him to break free of Golden Crocodile's Soul Power suppression at once.
A piece of serpent bone on his forehead lit up. "Medusa Soul Bone Skill, Medusa's Gaze!"
Two petrifying beams shot out.
This move could petrify anything, even Soul Power.
"Oh?" Golden Crocodile Douluo dodged at once.
While Golden Crocodile Douluo was dodging, Dugu Bo decisively turned and ran.
However, he had only just turned around.
A chill ran through Dugu Bo's entire body, for Qian Daoliu was already blocking his path.
"So fast...! When did you...?!"
"Get down."
Expressionless, Qian Daoliu punched Dugu Bo in the face.
Whoosh!
Boom!
The ground shook violently.
Dugu Bo was gravely injured on the spot. He fell to the ground, his body convulsing wildly and foam spilling from his mouth.
Jin Yu swallowed. "How pitiful..."
Glancing at Dugu Bo in the distance, whom he had nearly beaten to death, Qian Daoliu asked, "Jin Yu, will this man be our enemy in the future?"
Jin Yu nodded. "Yes. In a crucial battle in the future, he used his powerful area poison ability to poison hundreds of thousands of Spirit Hall's soldiers to death, nearly wiping out our entire army."
"Then he deserves to die!" Qian Daoliu's eyes turned cold. "Golden Crocodile, kill him."
"However, if we could subdue Dugu Bo, he would be a great help to us."
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head. "Xiao Yu, someone like him is unlikely to submit sincerely."
Dugu Bo indeed responded to kindness rather than force and could be considered a tough nut to crack. But he had a weakness, and Jin Yu had a way to bring him into the fold.
Dugu Bo was quite useful, whether in helping Spirit Hall unite the continent in the Douluo I timeline,
or if Spirit Hall wanted to develop in the Douluo II timeline in the future. Dugu Bo posed an enormous threat to the four empires: Sun Moon, Star Luo, Heavenly Soul, and Dou Ling.
In the world ten thousand years later, the power of Soul Masters could no longer be the deciding factor in winning a war.
An army armed with all kinds of powerful Soul Tools could blast a group of powerful Soul Masters to death. There were even powerful Soul Tools capable of blasting a Titled Douluo to death.
Even a level 99 expert would struggle to fight an army!
But Dugu Bo could poison an army equipped with Soul Tools to the last man!
If they could bring such a person to their side, that would be best.
Jin Yu suggested, "Ancestor, we can capture him first and lock him in the imperial prison. Afterward, I'm seventy percent confident I can make him submit to Spirit Hall."
"All right, we'll do as Jin Yu says."
Qian Daoliu's figure flashed, and he appeared before Dugu Bo in an instant. "You should thank that child. Otherwise, you'd already be dead. Once we're done here, come with us obediently."
With that, Qian Daoliu sealed Dugu Bo's power with a finger, then knocked him unconscious.
"Golden Crocodile, I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to Heaven Dou City to bring Xiao Xue here."
"All right."
Qian Daoliu left first.
Jin Yu explained enthusiastically, "Did you know, Ancestor? The vast majority of the rare herbs here can strengthen the foundation and nourish vitality, improve innate talent, and greatly increase Soul Power. Some can also temper the flesh and strengthen the body."
"Every single one of them is worth a fortune."
"In a little while, I'll also choose one for you and each of the other worships and elders. Taking them might be a great help to you."
A kindly expression appeared on Golden Crocodile Douluo's face, and he patted Jin Yu on the shoulder. "Child, that's thoughtful of you."
"Uh, hehe, it's only right." Jin Yu scratched his head and smiled.
Golden Crocodile Douluo grew even more indulgent toward him. Though Jin Yu was his descendant from ten thousand years in the future, he regarded him almost as his own grandson. "All right, child, go claim your great opportunity."
"Mm!"
Jin Yu nodded and slowly walked toward the edge of the path above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
