Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 104 The Backing Isn't Supporting Us

"Soul Bone!"

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing soul bone, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically.

This soul bone was one of the three 30,000-year soul bones that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan used to atone for their sins. It was produced by a kind of dragon soul beast and possessed the bloodline of both the dragon and snake clans. It was very suitable for Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan, so Xiao Yu sent it to Dugu Bo.

However, it is unknown whether Dugu Bo became arrogant after joining the Nine Star Palace and felt that a 30,000-year-old soul bone was not good enough for his precious granddaughter. He wanted to give her a set of soul bones that were all over 50,000 years old, so he absorbed this right arm bone himself.

"Soul Bone Skill, Azure Dragon Dawn!"

A powerful dragon breath erupted, roaring as it rushed toward the golden trio, crashing into the golden pillars of light surrounding them like a surging river.

"not good!"

Sensing that the protective pillar of light outside was about to crumble under the attack of the Soul Bone skill, Yu Xiaogang quickly used the most powerful strike of the Holy Dragon of Light, the Holy Dragon Dharma Form.

In an instant, the Holy Light Dragon shimmered with golden light, its scales burning like flames, and its roars grew louder and louder until it finally transformed into a giant fire dragon, heading straight for the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, the true form of Dugu Bo.

Yu Xiaogang's attack was a desperate gamble. Dugu Bo had already discovered the biggest flaw in the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Even if he could use the Holy Light Dragon to entangle Dugu Bo for a while, he couldn't hold him off forever. Dugu Bo would always find an opportunity to attack the three of them.

Since that's the case, the only option left is to fight with our backs against the wall, to decide the outcome with a single blow, for victory is victory and defeat is defeat.

But Dugu Bo isn't the kind of fool like Huyan Zhen who would bravely face the trident of Poseidon with his head. Why should Dugu Bo have to comply with Yu Xiaogang's wishes just because he wants to use his strongest attack?

The Holy Dragon of Light, burning its own body, was clearly operating beyond its limits, and the soul power it emitted was almost on par with that of a Title Douluo.

Although it was only a single strike, Dugu Bo could have blocked it. But why did he have to choose a more difficult option? Besides, who knew if the Holy Light Dragon had any backup plans? If it exploded after the collision, the energy of the explosion wouldn't hurt him, but there were still nearly a hundred sect disciples around.

"Medusa's gaze!"

The head soul bone skill was activated, and two pale white beams shot out from the eyes of the Azure Serpent King, heading straight for the body of the Golden Sacred Dragon.

The white, petrifying rays struck the Holy Light Dragon, which was already enveloped in flames, and its unstoppable charge came to an abrupt halt.

Dugu Bo didn't expect Medusa's gaze to petrify the Holy Light Dragon directly. This thing was already close to the level of a Title Douluo, so it wouldn't be that easy to deal with. However, he could still delay it for a while.

Just as the fire dragon and the petrifying ray were locked in a stalemate, Dugu Bo simultaneously increased the output of his right arm soul bone.

Click, click!

Under the relentless attack of dragon breath, the pillar of light shattered and dissipated into specks of golden light into the air.

Yu Xiaogang and his two companions were directly hit by the aftershock of the attack and were blasted away on the spot. Liu Erlong and Flander, the two Soul Saints, were somewhat better off, though their faces were a little pale. Yu Xiaogang, who was at level 29, was now lying on the ground like a lump of mud, unable to even stand up.

With the Martial Soul Fusion Technique broken, the once imposing Holy Dragon of Light vanished in an instant. The pig-like Luo Sanpao fell straight down from the sky. Because Yu Xiaogang's soul power had been exhausted, Luo Sanpao immediately disappeared into his body after landing.

With the threat of the Holy Dragon of Light gone, Dugu Bo no longer needed to maintain his Martial Soul True Body state, and with a flash of light, he returned to his human form.

"Tell me, how do you want to die!"

Dugu Bo's voice was cold as he looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

Behind the three pale-faced people was Xiao Wu, who was trying her best to conceal her aura. Because this place was inside the Sunset Forest, it was common for a few soul beasts to appear occasionally. The fight just now had attracted many powerful soul beasts. For the time being, Dugu Bo had not realized that among these many soul beast auras, there was an extremely strong one emanating from a human.

"Dugu Bo, don't get too cocky!"

Liu Erlong first took two steps forward and helped up Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's miserable appearance, her eyebrows furrowed and her almond eyes widened. She flipped her wrist, and a blue metal ball appeared in her hand. This was the token of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Liu Erlong said with considerable pride, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Xiao Gang and I both come from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. We are indeed no match for you, but if you kill us, aren't you afraid our family will come after you?"

"Erlong, shut up!"

Yu Xiaogang, who had been feigning death, had his old wounds reopened when Liu Erlong mentioned the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan. His expression instantly turned violent, fully displaying his "excellent virtue" of striking hard against his own people. He angrily rebuked Liu Erlong, saying, "I have long since severed all ties with the clan. You are not allowed to mention the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan in front of outsiders!"

Yu Xiaogang is a good-for-nothing who was expelled from his family, and Liu Erlong is an illegitimate daughter who was not even recorded in the family genealogy. Previously, several powerful members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were humiliated by the Nine Star Palace and lost three soul bones that were over 30,000 years old. Of course, they would not tell them about such a shameful thing. That's why Liu Erlong brought up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as a backer at this time.

Dugu Bo, Yang Wudi, and the other disciples of the Nine Stars Palace behind him burst into laughter when they heard Liu Erlong mention the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The bursts of laughter left Liu Erlong somewhat bewildered. With her fiery temper, she had offended countless people over the years, always managing to escape danger thanks to the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. She was almost used to the usual reaction of people meekly apologizing and admitting their mistakes when she revealed her identity, so she was completely stunned by the Nine Star Palace's reaction.

Dugu Bo smiled and raised his right arm, saying to Liu Erlong, "Disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, do you know how I got this right arm bone?"

Liu Erlong was still completely bewildered and couldn't understand why everyone in the Nine Star Palace laughed like crazy when she mentioned the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. After hearing Dugu Bo's words, she subconsciously shook her head.

"This is an apology gift from your clan leader Yu Yuanzhen for offending our Nine Star Palace. The young palace master saw that this soul bone was quite compatible with me, so he gave it to me."

Dugu Bo said smugly, "You actually dare to mention the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan in front of us? Do you want that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen to send over a few more soul bones as an apology?"

"How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was stunned and stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.

"Looks like your backing isn't strong enough. In that case, I'll have to send you on your way!"

Dugu Bo sneered, gathering soul power in his right hand as if preparing to unleash an attack.
