Chapter 77 Hiring a bodyguard!

Xiao Yan's soul power was like a surging torrent, pouring out from the connection point of the ring on Huo Yuhao's hand, and rushing towards every part of Huo Yuhao's body.

The power carried a scorching temperature. Wherever it reached, the soul power in Huo Yuhao's body, which had been disordered by Dugu Bo's pressure, seemed to have found its backbone and began to quickly return to its place and flow in an orderly manner.

Huo Yuhao's body, which was originally trembling slightly due to the pressure, gradually stabilized under the support of this powerful soul power.

He stood up slowly, his feet firmly on the ground, every inch of his muscles tensed, as if he was accumulating amazing strength.

Then, under Dugu Bo's incredulous gaze, Huo Yuhao actually walked towards Dugu Bo step by step, facing the suffocatingly powerful pressure from Dugu Bo.

His steps were firm and steady. Every time Huo Yuhao took a step, a shallow footprint was left on the ground, raising a little dust.

Although the pressure from Dugu Bo's martial spirit's true form was like an invisible mountain, pressing down heavily on him and causing the surrounding air to distort, Huo Yuhao's eyes were extremely firm, as if this pressure was nothing more than a breeze on his face.

His eyes flashed with a strange light given by Xiao Yan's soul power.

Dugu Bo stared at Huo Yuhao with his eyes wide open, almost unable to believe the scene before him. Under the pressure of his unparalleled martial soul, Huo Yuhao not only did not retreat at all, but moved freely and even took the initiative to approach him.

This strange situation caused a storm in Dugu Bo's heart, and the surprise on his face became more and more intense, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

"How can this be!"

Dugu Bo couldn't help but blurt out, his voice full of shock and confusion.

"Boy, what on earth did you do? How did you improve your strength to such a terrifying level in such a short time!" Dugu Bo asked loudly, his voice whistling in the wind with unquestionable majesty.

As a Titled Douluo, he had been traveling across the Douluo Continent for many years and thought he knew all sorts of strange stories. However, the situation before him, Huo Yuhao, was completely beyond his comprehension.

However, facing Dugu Bo's questioning, Huo Yuhao did not answer.

Under the control of Xiao Yan's soul power, Huo Yuhao's eyes were cold, without a trace of extra emotion. He slowly stretched out his right hand and grasped the Xuanzhong ruler behind his back.

The Xuanzhong ruler had originally been hanging quietly behind Huo Yuhao, but at this moment it seemed to sense the fighting spirit of its owner, and it trembled slightly, emitting a low humming sound.

With a deep, muffled shout, Huo Yuhao grasped the Xuanzhong Ruler with both hands and yanked it from behind his back. Instantly, a powerful force, centered around him, rapidly spread outward.

The Xuanzhong ruler drew a black arc in the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and smashed towards Dugu Bo fiercely.

Xiao Yan controlled Huo Yuhao's body and launched an attack like a storm.

Huo Yuhao tightly grasped the Xuanzhong ruler in both hands. As the ruler danced, it left behind waves of black afterimages, tearing the air apart and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

With his first strike, Huo Yuhao leaped high, raising the Xuanzhong Ruler above his head. Using the force of his own falling weight, he launched himself towards Dugu Bo like a meteor. The force seemed to be enough to pound a massive crater into the earth, and the surrounding space was distorted by the impact.

Dugu Bo's eyes flashed upon seeing this, and he immediately responded. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and a dark green light surged around him, instantly condensing into a massive green phosphorus snake shield.

"boom!"

The Xuanzhong Ruler slammed heavily onto the snake shield, creating a deafening roar. The powerful impact caused visible ripples to form in the surrounding air. Cracks appeared on the snake shield's surface, and Dugu Bo's body was also shaken slightly by the force.

But Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo after all, and has extremely rich combat experience.

He took advantage of the moment when Huo Yuhao's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated. He waved his left hand, and several green phosphorus snakes flew out from his palm, wrapping around Huo Yuhao. These venomous snakes emitted a faint green light, and wherever they passed, the air was corroded and sizzled.

Xiao Yan controlled Huo Yuhao, his eyes as calm as a deep pool.

He tapped the ground with his toes and his body quickly dodged to the side like a black lightning.

At the same time, the Xuanzhong ruler danced rapidly in his hand, forming an impenetrable defense net that blocked all the attacking green phosphorus poisonous snakes. Every time a poisonous snake was blocked, a green poisonous mist would splash when the Xuanzhong ruler collided with the snake's body.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to launch a second round of attack.

He slammed the Xuanzhong ruler into the ground, and with the help of the reaction force, his body shot up like a cannonball and headed straight towards Dugu Bo. The moment he approached Dugu Bo, he clenched his right fist, and with the powerful soul power and Xiao Yan's soul power, he slammed it hard into Dugu Bo's chest.

"Baji collapse!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, crossing his arms over his chest. A thick, dark green soul shield instantly formed. Huo Yuhao's fist struck the shield with a dull thud, rippling its surface. However, it firmly blocked the blow.

In this way, the two sides fought back and forth for more than ten rounds in a short time.

Every confrontation was accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations. The entire rooftop was devastated by the aftermath of the battle, the ground was covered with deep cracks, and the surrounding buildings were shaken to the point of collapse.

After another fierce collision, Dugu Bo and Huo Yuhao each took several steps back.

Dugu Bo was breathing heavily, his eyes full of solemnity.

He looked at the young man whose strength had suddenly increased dramatically, thinking to himself. Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"No, this kid's strength increase is definitely not due to his own soul power, but an extremely huge soul force is controlling him from behind!"

Dugu Bo stared at Huo Yuhao with a piercing gaze, his expression solemn and a powerful aura emanating from him. He said, "Boy, my soul skills are extremely powerful. If I were to unleash them at full strength here, this prosperous Tiandou City would be reduced to ruins in an instant, and countless lives would be decimated. If you have the guts, would you dare to fight me somewhere else?"

"Where are we going to fight?" Under Xiao Yan's control, Huo Yuhao's eyes remained as calm as ice. He met Dugu Bo's gaze without fear and said.

"If you have the courage, come with me!" Dugu Bo said with a slightly sarcastic and provocative smile, raising the corners of his mouth slightly.

Before he finished speaking, the dark green light around him suddenly surged, like a burning green flame, enveloping him completely.

Immediately afterwards, the light condensed, and Dugu Bo turned into a dazzling green stream of light, like a green comet streaking across the sky, shooting towards the outside of Tiandou City at lightning speed.

The streak of light moved at an incredibly fast speed, leaving a long, emerald-like trail in the air. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a dark green halo in the air, indicating that he had just left.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao leaned forward slightly, his legs like a pair of taut springs. Under Xiao Yan's control, the soul force and spirit power within him instantly surged, exploding like a surging ocean wave. In an instant, he was lifted into the air, transforming into a sharp streak of black light, chasing Dugu Bo like a shadow. Behind him, the air was violently torn apart, emitting a sharp, piercing whistle, as if cheering for the fierce pursuit that was about to shift the battlefield.

Along the way, the buildings and trees on the street shook violently in the powerful aftermath caused by the two people flying at high speed, like weak willows in the wind, swaying and about to fall.

Passersby stopped in astonishment, their eyes wide open, looking up at the two figures that streaked across the sky like meteors, their faces filled with shock and awe.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, rushed towards the outside of Tiandou City.

A moment later, Dugu Bo was the first to arrive at a vast area. A rich green atmosphere hit him in the face. Below him was an extremely dense forest. The lush branches and leaves were intertwined with each other, and the ground was almost invisible. It was the famous Sunset Forest on the Douluo Continent.

Dugu Bo slowly stopped above the forest and hung in mid-air. The dark green light around him became more and more dazzling, as if it had merged with the mysterious atmosphere of the forest.

Huo Yuhao followed and stopped steadily opposite Dugu Bo.

He looked up and saw a thin layer of mist in the sunset forest. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming golden beams of light, like a dream.

From time to time, the low roars of various soul beasts could be heard in the forest.

Looking at Huo Yuhao coldly, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Boy, today I will let you see my true strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly rose, and the dark green light surged like a surging tide. In the blink of an eye, the huge Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor martial spirit's true form reappeared, hovering behind him, its snake body winding and circling like a towering dark green mountain.
Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

The eighth soul ring on his body shone brightly, and the brilliant dark green light instantly enveloped him.

"The eighth soul skill - Time Freezing!"

Dugu Bo shouted loudly, and as his voice fell, a suffocatingly powerful force quickly spread out from him.

The air around him seemed frozen by an invisible hand. The drifting clouds froze, and even the air currents behind Huo Yuhao, stirred by his high-speed flight, instantly stagnated. Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Huo Yuhao felt as if his body were mired in a thick, gelatinous substance. Every movement became extremely difficult, and even his thoughts began to slow.

Under the control of Xiao Yan's soul power, although Huo Yuhao's body was bound by Dugu Bo's powerful "time freezing" force and every inch of muscle seemed to be imprisoned, his eyes remained firm and he did not show any intention of retreating.

Taking a deep breath, the soul power in Huo Yuhao's body began to circulate wildly like a surging tide under Xiao Yan's guidance.

"In that case, let me show you my strength!"

Xiao Yan growled through Huo Yuhao's mouth.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's hands danced rapidly, and in his palms, golden flames quickly bloomed like a blooming lotus. The flames emitted scorching heat, and the surrounding air was burned and distorted.

As the flames continued to condense, a huge golden flame ruler slowly took shape. It was Xiao Yan's famous unique skill, the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler.

Holding the Xuanzhong Ruler in both hands, Huo Yuhao felt the powerful force contained in it and suddenly raised it high. He leaned back slightly and, with the help of the strength in his waist and abdomen, swung the Flame-Splitting Wave-Devouring Ruler with an unstoppable momentum and chopped it down towards Dugu Bo.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to have merged with the Xuan Zhong Ruler and became the master of the flames. The golden flames followed the trajectory of the ruler, forming a huge wave of flames, surging towards Dugu Bo with the force of a tidal wave.

Wherever the flames passed, the air frozen by time was broken through, making crackling sounds.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao could actually resist his soul skills, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with surprise, but more of it was solemnity.

He knew the power of this attack was not to be underestimated, and immediately mobilized all his soul power to intensify the effect of time freezing. The dark green light grew stronger, attempting to completely block Huo Yuhao's wave of flames.

However, under Xiao Yan's control, Huo Yuhao's attack contained immense power.

The waves of flames collided with the dark green light, emitting a deafening roar. For a moment, the entire sky above Sunset Forest was enveloped by these two powerful forces, and the light was so bright that it stung people's eyes.

The powerful energy fluctuations swept in all directions like a hurricane. In the forest below, trees were uprooted and branches and leaves were flying all over the sky.

In this fierce collision, Huo Yuhao's flame wave gradually gained the upper hand.

Cracks began to appear in the dark green light, and the effect of freezing time was gradually broken.

"boom--"

With the last loud bang, Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill was completely broken by Huo Yuhao's Flame-Splitting Wave Ruler, and the former was swept by the golden ruler and hit on the shoulder. A mouthful of dark green blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person was shaking in the sky.

Dugu Bo raised his head and looked straight at Huo Yuhao who was floating in the air. A complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise and unwillingness, but more of it was an acknowledgement of the outcome of the battle.

"I lost."

His voice was low and hoarse, tinged with loneliness, and echoed over the empty Sunset Forest. Saying this, for the always arrogant Titled Douluo Dugu Bo, undoubtedly required tremendous courage.

Under the control of Xiao Yan's soul power, Huo Yuhao slowly retracted the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler, and the golden flames gradually dissipated. He slowly landed in front of Dugu Bo, looking calmly at the injured warrior before him.

"If you hadn't been affected by your own poison, your strength would have been even greater."

Huo Yuhao spoke, his voice not containing the slightest hint of pride, but rather a hint of regret. He said, "If you agree to one condition of mine, I would consider detoxifying you."

When Dugu Bo heard this, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he fell into deep thought. He knew that he had been troubled by the toxins in his body for many years, and his strength was indeed greatly limited.

Now the young man in front of him actually offered to detoxify him, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

But at the same time, he was also curious about what the conditions Huo Yuhao was talking about were.

"What are the conditions?" Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, then raised his head, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, and asked with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

"Be my bodyguard for three years!"
