Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 143 The Battle for Titles (Part 2)

The battle between the ten Title Douluos was truly terrifying. The air seemed to be compressed, and the explosions caused by the collision of their soul skills were like thunder, creating a frightening spectacle.

The first to determine a winner was Aldebaran and Turtle Douluo.

Aldebaran's crimson 100,000-year spirit ring shone brightly, and a golden bull's horn flew out, pointing forward at superluminal speed as it rushed straight toward its opponent. This was his ninth spirit skill, Giant Horn, which possessed the power to destroy mountains and the earth.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Ocean Shield!"

Faced with Aldebaran's full-force attack, Turtle Douluo quickly used his ninth soul skill, a skill that enhanced his defense. Under the effect of the soul skill, the turtle shell on Turtle Douluo's body rapidly expanded, growing several times larger, before detaching from Turtle Douluo's body, flying into the air, and finally crashing down, blocking the path of the Bull Fighter.

boom! boom! boom!

The outcome was decided the moment their ninth soul skills clashed. The seemingly sturdy turtle shell of the Sea Turtle Douluo was as fragile as a piece of skin in front of the giant horn, and was instantly blasted into dust.

But that's understandable.

The Sea Turtle Douluo's soul power was only around level 91.5. After Dugu Bo solved the problem of the backlash from his innate poison and made successive breakthroughs, he became the new gatekeeper of the Title Douluo.

Moreover, his ninth spirit ring was only a little over 60,000 years old. With the same ninth spirit skill, Aldebaran could easily crush him in terms of both spirit power and spirit ring quality, so this result is not surprising.

The giant horn struck the Sea Turtle Douluo without missing a beat. The golden light engulfed the Sea Turtle Douluo's body. The Sea Turtle Douluo didn't even have time to scream before his massive body exploded, and blood rained down.

"Sea turtle!"

The fall of a Title Douluo, even if he is the weakest Title Douluo, is an unbearable loss for the Spirit Hall.

However, the other four elders of the Spirit Hall had no heart to grieve the death of the sea turtle, because their opponents were equally formidable, and they might follow in the same footsteps as the sea turtle if they were not careful.

Next, the battle between Shura and Ghost Leopard Douluo was decided. Ghost Leopard Douluo's soul power was close to level 94 at level 93, which is about 0.9 decimal points. Among the nine elders of the Spirit Hall, he ranked fourth, only after Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo with a soul power of level 94. He was the unlucky guy in the original work who was used as a meat shield by Xiao Wu to block Bibi Dong's killing move during the battle at Jialing Pass.

Although Ghost Leopard Douluo's soul power is slightly higher than Spirit Kite Douluo's, his opponent is also the strongest among the five Nine Star Palace Title Douluos present. Shura is the only one among the ten, oh no, now only nine Title Douluos remaining to break through the Super Douluo bottleneck and reach level ninety-six.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Pierce the Spirit!"

The Holy Sword shattered into tens of thousands of fragments, which transformed into countless starlight points around Shura. Under Shura's soul power, these starlight points began to condense into small Holy Swords, which then attacked Ghost Leopard Douluo.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—"

Countless swords rained down on Ghost Leopard Douluo, instantly shattering his defenses and engulfing him in the endless barrage of swords.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Shadow of the Void!"

In the critical moment, Ghost Leopard Douluo used his life-saving technique, forcibly summoning a substitute to withstand most of Shura's attacks and barely saving his life.

Even so, Ghost Leopard Douluo's face was extremely pale at this moment. Because of his own martial soul, his skin was dark, so it was even more obvious. His soul power was almost depleted. He was kneeling on the ground, supporting himself with one hand to keep from falling. He obviously had no strength left to fight.

In the shadows, Sword Douluo became even more eager to try, and the Seven Kill Sword Intent was released unintentionally.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shura's eyes, but he immediately released his own sword intent. The two sword intents merged and collided invisibly, and then quickly dissipated into nothingness.

This is a duel agreed upon by two sword masters using their sword intent.

"Chrysanthemum Pass!"

Seeing that two of his own men had already been defeated, Ghost Douluo roared and transformed into a black shadow, quickly approaching Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and Douluo have been working together for nearly sixty years, and they can understand the deeper meaning behind even a single glance.

At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo feigned an attack, abandoning his opponent, and quickly approached Ghost Douluo.

The speed of a Title Douluo is terrifying. In the blink of an eye, the two had already intertwined their fingers, and their nine spirit rings lit up at the same time. Their bodies merged together at this moment, and the eighteen spirit rings, which were flashing with different colors, instantly condensed into a huge gold and silver halo.

"A realm of bipolar stillness!"

The voices of Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo rang out simultaneously. At the same time, the huge halo flew into the air, transforming into a massive halo with a diameter of over a hundred meters, enveloping all five of them, including Shura.

"Ling Yuan, quickly take Ghost Leopard and leave!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's somewhat anxious voice rang out. Although the spirit fusion skill used by the two titled Douluos was indeed incredibly powerful, it was wishful thinking to think that they could trap five titled Douluos at the same time, all of whom had a spirit power of level 95 or above.

Being able to hold them back for a few seconds was already the limit for Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo. Their purpose in using this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not to win, but to buy time to retreat.

Ghost Leopard Douluo is in too poor a state to escape the pursuit of the opposing Title Douluo on his own. With Sea Turtle Douluo already dead, the Spirit Hall cannot afford to lose another Title Douluo, so they must withdraw him from the battlefield first.

Lingyuan Douluo finally came to his senses and immediately turned around. The huge Fiery Spirit Kite flew low overhead, picked up the Ghost Leopard Douluo who was kneeling on the ground, and flapped its wings to fly away at full speed into the distance.

Crack! Boom!

Just as Spirit Kite Douluo was disappearing into the distance, the enormous halo created by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's dual-level domains cracked further under the influence of the five Title Douluos' soul power, eventually exploding completely!

"Walk!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance. They still had some of their soul power reserved for their retreat.

Lingyuan Douluo had already left with Guibao Douluo. Without further hesitation, they retreated in the direction they had come from, while simultaneously sending a retreat signal to the sky.

Fireworks signaling the retreat exploded in the air, and the Spirit Hall subordinates who received the signal immediately retreated like a tide. As they left, they did not forget to take the bodies of their comrades with them, leaving not a single weapon behind.

They came fast and retreated even faster; in the blink of an eye, these men in black had disappeared on the other side of the hill.
