Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 130 Absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower: The Drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

In the flickering candlelight of the hall, Bibi Dong gently stroked two letters with her fingertips.

One letter came from the Martial Soul Temple of Heaven Dou City, and the other from Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao Gang is in Tiandou City. I imagine the letter from the Spirit Temple isn't as good as the one from Xiao Gang."

Without the slightest hesitation, she threw the letter from the Spirit Temple onto the ground.

"Let me see what Xiaogang's letter said!" Her fingertips trembled slightly, and her breathing became lighter as she unfolded the letter.

[Dong'er, Tianxia Wuzei left Tiandou City during the tournament. This is a golden opportunity; if we eliminate him, the Golden Generation's path to the championship will be unobstructed.]

This is the most important sentence in the letter; the rest is just Yu Xiaogang's deception of Bibi Dong.

The handwriting was slightly blurred in the candlelight, as if one could see the shadow of the person who wrote the letter.

Bibi Dong's lips unconsciously curled up, and when her jade fingers traced the words "Dong'er," the icy coldness in her eyes melted away.

"Indeed, only Xiaogang understands me in this world."

A gentle smile bloomed on her lips, and her usually stern eyes were now filled with tenderness.

She pressed the letter to her chest, as if she could feel the warmth of the writer.

“This is indeed a good opportunity.” Bibi Dong murmured to herself, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. “Even if we can’t kill him, as long as we can stop him from participating in the competition, Nana and the others will definitely win the championship.”

Bibi Dong walked slowly, her long dress trailing across the cold marble floor.

"Once the Rakshasa God's test is over," she said, gazing at the darkening sky outside the window, her voice as soft as a dream, "I will definitely be able to help Xiaogang break the level 30 curse."

Moonlight streamed through the stained glass, casting dappled shadows on her face.

At that moment, the Pope, who was awe-inspiring throughout the continent, had only aspirations for the future in his eyes.

"When the Spirit Hall is destroyed, Xiao Gang and I can finally live happily ever after."

Bibi Dong carefully folded Yu Xiaogang's letter and hid it in her sleeve.

The tenderness in her eyes faded, replaced by a layer of ageless frost.

"Moon Gate, Ghost, come in."

The palace doors opened silently, and two figures drifted in like ghosts.

"Your Holiness, what are your orders?!" The two knelt on one knee, their voices echoing in the empty hall.

Bibi Dong didn't speak, but with a wave of her hand, the envelope from the Spirit Temple flew into Yue Guan's hand.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei opened the book in perfect unison and read through all the contents.

"Find someone to interfere with Tianxia Wuzei's cultivation." Her voice was like ice. "If there's an opportunity, get rid of him. At the very least, make sure he doesn't make it to the finals."

Upon hearing the details of the mission, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's bodies trembled almost imperceptibly.

His expression was just like that of Benbo Ba, who was completely dumbfounded when his boss told him to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

“Your Holiness,” Yue Guan’s voice tightened, “What about the four archpatriarchs…”

“He stayed behind to guard Tiandou City, and Dugu Bo was the only one by Tianxia Wuzei’s side.” Bibi Dong tapped her scepter lightly with her fingertips, her tone icy. “If you can’t complete the mission against your former defeated opponents, you don’t need to come back.”

Upon hearing that it was only that old poisoner Dugu Bo, Yue Guan and Gui Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Bibi Dong's actions and words chilled them to the bone.

"Yes, Your Holiness. We'll do it right away!"

Bibi Dong waved her hand impatiently, "Go down."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei left the main hall and whispered to each other after they had walked a distance away.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, is His Holiness the Pope a simp?!" Ghost asked in a low voice.

Yue Guan sighed, looking at the detailed account of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's affair in the letter, and recalling Bibi Dong's appearance, he felt helpless.

"Perhaps. If His Holiness the Pope weren't a sycophant, how could he possibly have taken a liking to Yu Xiaogang, a piece of trash who could never break through level twenty-nine in his lifetime?!"

"Should we still obey her orders and attack the Holy Son?" Ghostly Demon was loyal to Bibi Dong, but even loyalty has its limits.

Moreover, Bibi Dong's actions chilled him to the bone.

Yue Guan felt the same way, but still thought Bibi Dong had greater potential.

Because over the years, he had clearly sensed the changes in Bibi Dong's strength.

It can be said that he is on par with the great master, Sendo-ryu.

"What else can we do? Let's keep going." A glint of light flashed in Yue Guan's eyes.

The ghostly figure stirred, responding in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?" "Just find a few scapegoats to harass them," Yue Guan said coldly. "When it really comes to action, we'll just put on a show. That way, we'll just be following orders, and even if the High Priest holds us accountable, His Holiness the Pope will still be there to protect us, won't he?"

The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

As elders, they also had their own inside information, knowing that the life-or-death battle between the villainous team and the golden generation this year would determine the next pope.

As things stand, the chances of a world without thieves are far greater than for Hu Liena.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei once betrayed Qian Xun Ji, and as a member of the "Head-Shaking Grass" team, they understand the importance of the team.

Therefore, they will not offend either side excessively, leaving themselves a way out.

……

The sunset forest, the eyes of ice and fire.

Tianxia Wuzei sat cross-legged in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, radiating intense heat that distorted the very space around him.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a violent surge of soul power swept out, stirring up ripples.

"Fire Dragon King, possess me!"

In an instant, a set of ferocious dragon-shaped armor covered his entire body.

The dragon-head shaped helmet revealed sharp fangs, the left arm transformed into a sharp dragon claw, and the right arm into a golden dragon head, while the purple cloak fluttered in the wind.

"What's going on?" Tianxia Wuzei frowned as he looked at the asymmetrical arms. "Could it be that the medicinal power of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower wasn't enough? It failed to upgrade the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul into a deep-fried version?!"

Given the current situation, this seems to be the only explanation.

Wu Zetian leaped up from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and landed heavily on the ground.

"Let me test the power of the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul!"

The golden dragon head on his right arm slowly rose, and a lava fireball condensed in his palm, radiating terrifying heat like a miniature sun.

"Exploding Fire Dragon Bullet!"

The fireball roared out and exploded in the distance.

Amidst the deafening explosion, a small mushroom cloud of lava rose up, and a wave of heat swept across the entire medicinal garden.

Dugu Bo, who was outside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, was stunned and staggered, staring in horror at the location of the explosion.

"What's that little monster doing? Why is it making such a racket! I must go in and find out!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of green light and rushed towards the center of the explosion.

The thief was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected the Fire Dragon King's attack power to be so strong.

It should be noted that the Fire Dragon King Martial Soul, without any attached Soul Rings, already possesses power comparable to derivative moves of the Overlord Chasing Wind Fist.

Upon sensing Dugu Bo's arrival, he quickly withdrew his Fire Dragon King Martial Soul.

"Little monster!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in confusion upon seeing the undamaged Tianxia Wuzei. "What happened here? Why did an explosion occur?!"

"It might be due to an energy imbalance in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire," said the thief in the world, offering a casual remark.

"Is that so?" Dugu Bo looked at him suspiciously, but did not press for details. "Then be careful, don't hurt yourself."

As the previous owner of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he knew perfectly well that these things would never happen.

I know that "No Thieves Under Heaven" is hiding something, and I don't want him to know.

But that doesn't matter, as long as there are no more thieves in the world and we become stronger.

The thief hadn't intended to use this excuse to fool Dugu Bo, but he guessed that Dugu Bo wouldn't pursue the matter further.

After he left, she fell into deep thought.

"Although the Spirit Hall's Twin Spirit Cultivation Method allows one to seamlessly switch between the Explosive King and the Fire Dragon King, it does not allow one to use both spirits simultaneously."

Seamless switching doesn't mean using them simultaneously.

In other words, it is not possible to summon both the Burst King's true form and the Fire Dragon King's true form at the same time.

Does this mean there's no way to combine and become the Demon King?!
"No, there must be another way that allows me to use two martial souls at the same time!"

The thief closed his eyes and began searching for a way to use twin martial souls simultaneously.

At the same time, a rustling sound came from the edge of the Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo stood on the treetop, coldly looking down at the several furtive figures.

"A bunch of ants, they're really courting death!"
