Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 48 Killing the Thunderous Hell Vine

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

"Alright, a mere Thunderous Hell Vine is nothing to me. I'd like to see just how much potential you have!"

"Let's go!"

Immediately, Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan and Ji Wuming, and they sped towards the center of the thunderstorm.

The closer you get to the center of the thunderstorm, the more frequent the lightning strikes become, and the sparse vegetation becomes increasingly scarce. The sparse giant trees are split into charcoal and collapse one after another, and no soul beasts linger here.

Before long, Dugu Bo stopped beneath a giant tree only 400 meters from the center of the thunderstorm. After observing it with his eyesight, he said with shock and disappointment,

"Young Ji, there is indeed a Thunderous Hell Vine at the center of the thunderstorm, 400 meters away. However, this soul beast is already 19,000 years old. It is estimated that under the cultivation of this lightning power, it may break through the 20,000-year mark at any time. It is too old. Let's choose another soul beast!"

This wasn't because Dugu Bo was afraid. He could absolutely kill the nearly 2-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine without any problem, and it wouldn't even take long.

But with his granddaughter here, his actions were inevitably somewhat hampered. What if Lei Ming and Yan Yuteng knew they couldn't beat him but still attacked Yan Yan?

As for Ji Wuming, he wasn't worried at all. As mentioned before, he had some resistance to lightning, and he had also witnessed the blood mist that erupted when Ji Wuming's martial soul evolved. Even if the Thunderous Hell Vine's attack power was domineering, Ji Wuming would definitely not be in any danger.

At this moment, with his current eyesight and aided by his immense mental power, Ji Wuming also saw the 2-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine in the distance.

Its entire body is dark purple, with many thick vines growing upwards, twisting and turning in turn, resembling a giant tree that is ten meters tall. It is also surrounded by blue arcs of electricity that were recently struck, which are explosive and powerful.

"Senior, please help me hunt down this Thunderous Hell Vine. I'm confident I can successfully absorb it!"

Seeing the somewhat worried look on Dugu Bo's face, Ji Wuming patted his chest and continued,

"Senior, with me by my side to protect my little sister, even if I get injured, I won't let her get hurt in the slightest!"

Ji Wuming bowed to Dugu Bo. He understood that the 20,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine in front of him was almost comparable to a 40,000-50,000-year-old soul beast, which had the strength of a Soul Saint.

Even if he used all his moves at level 40, he still couldn't defeat the Thunderous Hell Vine with 2 years of cultivation by himself, let alone with his current soul power, which was simply not enough to unleash all his moves.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with longing. If the Thunderous Hell Vine really chose to attack Dugu Yan when attacking it, he would not hesitate to use all his trump cards to ensure Dugu Yan's safety. This was by no means empty talk!

Dugu Yan was captivated by Ji Wuming's resolute demeanor, especially the unwavering determination in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm already a Soul Master, so I have some ability to protect myself. Besides, my third soul ring isn't weak either, so I can protect myself. Brother Ji is so obsessed with this Thunderous Hell Vine, so let's help him and make it his soul ring!"

"Alright!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Bo immediately activated his Martial Soul True Form and flew towards the Thunderous Hell Vine, 400 meters away. A black jade poison dragon appeared in the dim sky above Thunder Canyon, seemingly merging into the surrounding landscape.

The Thunderclap Hell Vine, which was awaiting the next lightning strike, suddenly sensed an extremely powerful fluctuation of soul energy. Its vine swayed, and countless purple lightning orbs condensed within its body before rapidly erupting forth.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo, who was already wielding the Ink Domain Poison Dragon Martial Soul, immediately used his sixth soul skill to test the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"Black Jade Poison Dragon Break!"

A massive black energy beam shot out from the mouth of the Jade Poison Dragon, blasting the oncoming purple lightning ball apart into countless tiny arcs of electricity that fell to the ground, leaving the trees scorched to varying degrees.

Seeing the black energy shooting straight towards it, the Thunderous Hell Vine reacted swiftly, unleashing countless purple arcs of electricity as thick as saplings and saplings, slashing down towards the ground.

A solid purple lightning net-like shield formed in front of it, and when Dugu Bo's sixth soul skill struck it, it was as if the force was deflected, and the black energy wave quickly dispersed and was absorbed and shrank.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo had no time to argue with it any longer.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Ink Domain Divine Light!"

Dugu Bo's eyes merged with the black jade dragon beneath his feet, from which two beams of dark green energy shot out.

"boom--"

Cracks began to appear in the Purple Lightning Net shield, which then shattered. Seeing this, the Thunderous Hell Vine quickly coiled two vines around the shield to block it, and summoned more lightning in an attempt to weaken the black energy.

However, this was still to no avail. After the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King evolved into the Ink Domain Poison Dragon, the power of all its soul skills doubled. The current Ink Domain Divine Light is now comparable to a 90,000-year soul skill.

All of the Thunderous Hell Vine's defenses failed, and the Dark Jade Divine Light pierced directly through one of its main vines, leaving a dark green wound. The poison was rapidly spreading to other parts of its body.

At this moment, all its vines were trembling, as if it were in a state of extreme pain.

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng was furious as he looked at the human in front of him who possessed the strength of a Title Douluo and was even stronger than him.

The uninjured main vines quickly generated a powerful dark purple lightning energy, preparing to forcibly and completely eliminate the toxins that had entered its body.

At this crucial moment, Dugu Bo could not afford to miss such a golden opportunity and quickly unleashed his eighth soul skill.

"Time stands still!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Time completely froze within a 100-meter radius centered on Dugu Bo, including the Thunderous Hell Vine. At this moment, Dugu Bo swiftly unleashed his third soul skill, the Corrosive Black Witch Serpent.

Three small, dark green energy snakes rushed towards the Thunderous Hell Vine, corroding its two remaining undamaged main vines.

With a snap of the fingers, the frozen state of time dissipated, and the ten-meter-long Thunderous Hell Vine collapsed with a deafening roar.

Dugu Bo stood before the head of the Ink Domain Poison Dragon, looking down at the Thunderous Hell Vine that had ceased its struggle, and said contemptuously,

"I thought you, a spirit beast, would have some cunning, but I didn't expect you to be so easily defeated!"

Immediately, a voice echoed back towards Ji Wuming and the others.

"Kids, Yan Yan, you can come over now!"

As the two rushed to the scene, they saw Dugu Bo standing on the thickest vine of the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"As expected of a level 95 Super Douluo, the senior killed Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng in less than a minute of the entire battle."

Dugu Bo was quite satisfied with the praise and urged,

"Young Ji, this Thunderous Hell Vine is already seriously injured. Hurry up and come up. If you miss the opportunity, I won't be responsible if the Thunderous Hell Vine dies from the poison."
