Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 53 Forget about floods and monsters, just do it!

"ah--"

"You dare—"

Seeing that Yu Tianheng was already injured, the four disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could no longer restrain themselves and were about to attack Ji Wuming. However, in the next second, Ji Wuming swiftly drew his spear, flashed, and struck Yu Tianheng in the waist.

"Boom——"

Yu Tianheng, whose hands had already lost all feeling, was sent flying, crashing into four Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples who were about to charge at him.

One of the men quickly caught him, while the other three men unleashed the pressure of Soul Kings, releasing their Martial Souls and continuing to charge towards Ji Wuming, their killing intent palpable.

"You've injured the young sect master of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; you won't leave Thunder Canyon alive today."

"presumptuous!"

Dugu Bo flashed to Ji Wuming's side and released the pressure of a Title Douluo. The martial souls of the three Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples who charged at him dissipated on the spot. The three of them squatted on the ground and could not get up. Beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads. They were almost crushed into mincemeat by the pressure of the soul power.

"Your Majesty Dugu, are you really going to make an enemy of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for this person?"

"If you insist on this, even if our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cannot kill you, your granddaughter..."

Upon hearing that a Soul King was threatening him, a Title Douluo, with Yan Yan's life, Dugu Bo's aura intensified once more, and the Soul King who had threatened him died on the spot.

"Your Majesty, please atone; we know we were wrong."

A high-level Soul King watched in extreme fear as his brother, who had angered Dugu Bo, was killed on the spot.

"That man deserves to die, but this lad is someone I value. I already consider him my grandson. Anyone who touches him is my enemy."

However, in the next moment, Yu Tianheng, who had been caught, spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"These...these are symptoms of poisoning?"

The man who caught Yu Tianheng pointed directly at Ji Wuming, speaking with extreme anger and fear.

"You're really cunning, kid. You actually poisoned your martial soul."

Seeing that Yu Tianheng's injuries had become even more serious, Dugu Bo frowned and stared at Ji Wuming, which made him tremble slightly and feel ashamed. Now, Ji Wuming had brought trouble to the Dugu family.

Dugu Bo turned around, quickly withdrew his soul pressure, and walked up to Yu Tianheng.

"Your Majesty, please don't be foolish. If you kill us, don't think that the three of you will escape punishment."

"So noisy!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Dugu Bo sent the man who had dared to threaten him and instruct him to do things crashing into a tree and dying.

Dugu Bo then ignored the remaining two men, used his soul power to quickly expel the blood poison from Yu Tianheng's body, and quickly bandaged his wounds with some herbs.

"Brother Ji, are you injured anywhere? Let me see!"

"Little sister, I'm fine. A little lightning won't hurt me."

At this moment, Dugu Yan ignored Ji Wuming's perfunctory words and pulled him to her side to carefully examine his injuries. Apart from a few charred spots caused by lightning, the rest of his body was intact.

"Little sister, I told you we're perfectly fine, why won't you believe me? Now we're the ones in trouble."

"So you knew it would be troublesome, huh! Why didn't you hold back when you made your move?"

Dugu Yan nudged Ji Wuming in the chest with her small elbow, staring ahead with a worried expression.

She wasn't worried about Yu Tianheng, but rather that because of this incident, Yu Tianheng's grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, would cause trouble for her grandfather, or even cripple this swindler who didn't know the consequences of his actions in the competition.

You should know that Yu Tianheng was directly designated by his grandfather as the next successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan half a year ago. If Yu Tianheng dies, Yu Yuanzhen will probably go crazy and kill the Dugu family and Ji Wuming.

As time ticked by, Yu Tianheng's injuries finally stabilized. Although the penetrating wound in his arm was severe, for a Soul Master with a top-tier beast spirit like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it wasn't considered a particularly serious injury.

At most, he would need one or two months of rest, and with the help of some medicinal herbs from their sect, he could be completely cured.

"This matter was due to my poor discipline. Now, Tianheng has been cured of the poison and his wounds have stopped bleeding completely. If that dragon comes looking for me, I will not be afraid."

"Ji boy, come over here right now and apologize to Yu Tianheng."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo call his name, Ji Wuming immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle in apology.

"Uncles and elders, injuries are inevitable in sparring. I, Ji Wuming, apologize to you all today. My behavior was not right to be so bad. I hurt my senior and made you solve my troubles. I am really sorry."

Dugu Bo looked at the two who had finally managed to stand up. Although they were still angry, he showed no politeness whatsoever, his tone filled with rage.

"Young Master Ji has apologized, and I personally treated Tianheng's injuries. Let's call this matter closed between our two families! Get out of here."

The two, already in a state of extreme panic, would be killed by Dugu Bo sooner or later if they didn't run away. The only reasons Dugu Bo didn't kill them were that Yu Tianheng needed someone to take care of him, and also because of Yu Yuanzhen's influence.

They turned their heads, glanced at their two dead brothers, and quickly carried the unconscious Yu Tianheng away from the place.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo looked at Ji Wuming beside him, feeling both surprised and somewhat saddened. Although he could see from Ji Wuming's words of trying his best to protect Dugu Yan that he valued his granddaughter, it was very bad that the fight was so prone to serious injury or even murder.

"You brat, next time you spar with someone, can you please refrain from hurting them, and definitely don't kill them? Peace should be the priority!"

Faced with Dugu Bo's reminder, Ji Wuming nodded repeatedly in agreement. In reality, he had already held back; he had already stopped using his full power during the third strike of his second soul skill.

But the situation was completely beyond his control. Yu Tianheng actually managed to block his attack with his bare hands. It was already a good thing that he didn't die.

"Senior, little sister, I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time."

"Boy, what's so troublesome about this? I am, after all, a Title Douluo. As long as you don't do anything extremely outrageous, I can still protect you!"

Dugu Bo spoke with utmost sincerity, as if he were Ji Wuming's own grandfather, but then abruptly changed the subject, saying...

"This is a favor you owe me. Now that you've driven away Yan Yan's strongest competitor, you'd better take good care of her from now on, or I won't let you off the hook!"

"Grandpa, what are you saying! Who wants him to take care of them?"

Dugu Yan stamped her foot shyly, and a blush rose on her face again.

"Forehead--"

At this moment, Ji Wuming was caught in a dilemma: agreeing or not agreeing was also problematic. After all, Shui Bing'er was still waiting for him. Given Dugu Yan's personality, wouldn't the two women start fighting as soon as they met, and in the end, he would be the one to suffer?

"What, you don't want to?"

Dugu Bo looked at him with a strange expression, while Dugu Yan stared intently at him.

"I do!"

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. We don't care about floods or ferocious beasts, we'll just do it.

(Wishing everyone a Happy New Year)
