The petals struck the protective shield, producing a dense and crisp sound.
Sparks flew everywhere, like metal being forged.
However, Dugu Bo's Serpent Heavenly Shield is only his sixth soul skill, and its power is limited.
Before long, countless fine cracks appeared on the protective shield, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.
Dugu Bo quickly resorted to other methods.
"Soul Bone Skill: Medusa's Gaze!"
The enormous head of the Azure Serpent King slowly turned from left to right, and time seemed to stand still wherever its gaze fell.
Two gray beams of light shot out from the eyes of the Azure Serpent King, hazy and carrying an eerie, deathly aura.
The petals touched by those two beams of gray light instantly lost their color, turned into stones, and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
A moment later, the second round of combat between Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo came to an end.
At this moment, the two unleashed several high-level soul skills in succession. Although they were both titled Douluo with profound soul power, after such an intense battle, they couldn't help but pant slightly and sweat appeared on their foreheads.
The two stared at each other across the poisonous fog, neither speaking; the air seemed to freeze.
"Dugu Bo, you're really something, managing to fight me to a draw?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was secretly surprised, and his gaze toward the depths of the poisonous fog became more solemn.
Chapter 363 The Spirit Hall in Action
"Old Chrysanthemum's attacks are still so powerful!"
Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, his blood and qi surging within him as he secretly regulated his breathing.
Immediately afterwards, both sides launched another attack simultaneously.
However, this time, the two sides used different tactics.
Not only did Dugu Bo unleash his most powerful, trump card move, but on Chrysanthemum Douluo's side, Ghost Douluo, who had been observing from the sidelines, also seized the opportunity to make his move.
"Soul Fusion Skill: Yin-Yang Stillness Domain!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had excellent teamwork. Having worked together for many years, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was formed almost instantly.
A huge Tai Chi symbol rapidly condensed in mid-air, slowly rotating, its black and white colors clearly distinguishable, covering an area of hundreds of meters in radius.
The domain descended from the sky, carrying an irresistible suppressive force.
As soon as the domain appeared, Dugu Bo immediately felt that the circulation of his soul power within his body had become much slower, as if he had sunk into a quagmire.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo reacted quickly enough, and his attack was launched before the domain completely enveloped him.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Azure Phosphorescent Light!"
The 30-meter-long Azure Serpent King raised its front half high, its enormous head looking down like an ancient demon god.
As the snake opened its mouth, a dazzling, multicolored beam of light shot out.
"laugh--"
As the light flew, the surrounding poisonous miasma was stirred up, as if it had been summoned by some force.
Countless purplish-black poisonous miasma surged wildly toward the Azure Phosphorescent Divine Light, only to be devoured and absorbed by it.
When the Azure Phosphorous Divine Light flew to Chrysanthemum Douluo and his companion, the energy it carried had multiplied several times, its thickness had increased several times, and it exuded an aura of world-destroying power.
The domain lands, covering an area of 100 meters around it, encompassing everything within it.
At the same time, the divine light had already shot towards Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other two, but it was blocked by the power of the domain.
Then, everything froze.
The divine light ceased to advance, and the domain ceased to rotate.
Clearly, the competition among the three has reached a stalemate, with none able to gain the upper hand.
Three breaths later, the three were still persevering, beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads.
Five breaths later, they were covered in sweat and their faces were pale.
Seven breaths later, the three of them were exhausted and their bodies began to tremble slightly.
Ten breaths later, a tremendous roar exploded in the poisonous miasma, deafeningly loud.
"boom!"
The powerful shockwave spread wildly in all directions, breaking trees and sending rocks and soil flying wherever it passed.
The three figures split into two directions and fled like the wind, instantly disappearing into the depths of the poisonous miasma.
After a stick of incense had burned, the aftershocks of the explosion finally dissipated, the poisonous miasma gathered again, and the area returned to its previous deathly still state.
However, a huge crater was left on the ground, its walls as smooth as a mirror, silently telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
In the poisonous miasma of the east, Dugu Bo stopped after flying for a distance.
"puff!"
He leaned against the tree trunk, bent over, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood droplets splattered onto the withered leaves, a shocking sight.
Although the previous duel appeared to be evenly matched, Dugu Bo was, after all, a single person.
Faced with the shockwave of the explosion, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could work together to neutralize it, but Dugu Bo, in order to escape the battlefield as soon as possible, had no choice but to bear most of the shockwave's force.
Therefore, Dugu Bo was seriously injured at this time.
Fortunately, the environment here is so special that ordinary people can't get in at all. The toxins everywhere actually help Dugu Bo recover from his injuries.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, glanced up in the direction he was looking, and then flew deeper into the poisonous miasma.
After flying for a while longer, Dugu Bo arrived at the deepest part of the poisonous miasma that he could reach at the moment.
The place was filled with toxins, but it was the best place for him to heal.
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his soul power to gradually recover from his injuries.
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo retreated from the ten-mile poisonous miasma, their clothes disheveled and in a sorry state.
"How to do?"
Ghost Douluo looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and asked, his tone tinged with resentment.
"What else can we do? Let's go."
Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced back at the poisonous miasma behind him, his gaze complex.
"Otherwise, could we stay and engage in a protracted war with Dugu Bo? How long would that take?"
Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo added, "Don't forget why we came to Heaven Dou City this time."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo came to Heaven Dou City on the orders of Pope Bibi Dong to intercept and kill those talented soul masters who were unwilling to submit to the Spirit Hall and had no powerful backing.
This is the real business. Wasting time with Dugu Bo here is just creating unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, given that Dugu Bo had already demonstrated considerable strength, the two realized that they couldn't defeat him in the short term, and continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction.
So the two of them went along with it and left.
The two figures gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only the gray-purple poisonous miasma behind them, silently churning in the moonlight.
At night, Tiandou City is brightly lit, and the streets are bustling with people.
Tonight, Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong were invited by Ning Fengzhi to attend a banquet hosted by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
The banquet was not large; there were only four guests: Wang Teng, Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo.
It could even be said that this banquet was specifically held for Ning Rongrong and Wang Teng of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At the banquet, Wang Teng saw Xue Qinghe at such close range for the first time.
Or rather, it is about observing the snow-capped peaks.
While Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi were talking, Wang Teng carefully observed Xue Qinghe's face and throat, places that were easy to expose his weaknesses.
He looked very carefully, but found no trace of anything amiss, no flaws in Qian Renxue's disguise.
His skin, Adam's apple, voice, and mannerisms were all flawless, so perfect that no one could find a single fault with them.
All I can say is that Qian Renxue disguised herself too well.
If one hadn't read the original novel and known the truth beforehand, no one would have guessed that the gentle and refined man in front of them was actually a woman in disguise.
"Wang Teng, what do you think?"
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi's words brought Wang Teng back to reality.
"what?"
Wang Teng was slightly taken aback. He had been secretly observing Xue Qinghe and hadn't heard what she said earlier.
"His Highness the Crown Prince just said that after this Soul Master Competition, he would like to invite you to be his guest advisor and help him train his soldiers."
Ning Rongrong quickly whispered a reminder from the side.
Upon hearing this, Wang Teng understood.
This was Xue Qinghe's attempt to win him over, and it wasn't just about winning him over; it was also a test of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's attitude.
Although Ning Fengzhi is already Xue Qinghe's teacher, Xue Qinghe's relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not actually that close.
Chapter 364 The Crown Prince's Approach
At least, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's personnel did not serve under Xue Qinghe.
This also shows that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not yet truly sided with Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Therefore, Xue Qinghe took this opportunity to both win over Wang Teng and test Ning Fengzhi's attitude.
“Wang Teng, my men are indeed out of practice and lack real combat experience.”
Xue Qinghe said with a smile, her gaze gently falling on Wang Teng.
"Your martial spirit is special, allowing you to attack from a distance and control multiple spinning tops simultaneously, making your tactics flexible and varied."
"So I think it's most suitable for you to train them, don't you think?"
