Relying on the Ghost Shadow Track and the Dark Gold Terror Claw, Fang Yuan quickly maneuvered his way out of the poisonous mist array.
The power in the sky grew even stronger. The two terrifying creatures, each over ten meters tall, continued their fierce battle with overwhelming momentum.
The Slaughter Knight lived up to his title as a Rank 95 Titled Douluo. Facing the relentless onslaught of Dugu Bo's full firepower, he clearly held the upper hand. The immense wings of the gigantic Dark Gold Blood Bat blotted out the sky, almost unilaterally suppressing the Jade Phosphorous Snake Emperor.
With its aerial advantage, the Dark Gold Blood Bat's wing flaps created sharp gusts of wind, as if a tempest had been unleashed.
These gusts relentlessly ravaged Dugu Bo's serpentine form, producing a harsh grating sound against his emerald-green scale armor, even sparking numerous flames.
"You damn bastard!"
Being suppressed by the Slaughter Knight to such an extent, Dugu Bo had long been infuriated. Not to mention his current wretched appearance, resembling a drowning dog, completely suppressed by the Slaughter Knight.
The clash between them produced deafening roars, attracting countless spectators from the surroundings. If they saw him in such a disadvantageous situation, how could he have some face in the future and gain a foothold in the world of soul masters?
Suddenly, the enormous tail of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, with a swift jerk, retracted into the mountain. The green poisonous mist surrounding its body was drawn back into it, the muscles below its head flattened, and half of its serpentine body stood upright. The once emerald-green serpent's eyes turned horrifyingly white, emitting a white halo around its head.
As the Sunset Forest was his territory, the two ultimate devastating soul skills were naturally forbidden.
However, Dugu Bo had been famous for a long time, with numerous secret techniques up his sleeve. Although his title was poison, he possessed more than just poison abilities.
Two beams of pale light shot out simultaneously from the white eyes of the now-white Serpent Emperor, aiming directly for the Dark Gold Blood Bat in the sky.
Seeing the white radiance, the Slaughter Knight frowned. He clearly sensed that this wasn't a skill from Dugu Bo's soul ring. The transformation of the serpent head was undeniable—this had to be an ability derived from his soul bone.
"A head soul bone skill, well done!"
The Slaughter Knight burst into laughter. The head soul bone was, besides the chest bone, one of the most important soul bones. It definitely had an extremely powerful soul skill.
But the Slaughter Knight didn't dodge. If Dugu Bo possessed such a powerful soul skill, how could the Slaughter Knight not have one?
"Eighth soul skill!"
The radiance of the eighth jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring on the colossal blood bat's body shimmered, and a blood-colored radiance bloomed forth. It rapidly expanded, instantly forming a spherical protective barrier around the Dark Gold Blood Bat.
This blood-red barrier seemed to emit a faint light, unceasingly replenishing itself. Dugu Bo, however, laughed heartily.
"Using defensive techniques to counter my Medusa's Gaze is simply asking for death!"
His head's soul bone originated from a top-tier snake-type soul beast, the Medusa, also known as the Queen of Serpents. Furthermore, it was a ten-thousand-year Medusa.
The petrification soul skill generated by the ten-thousand-year Medusa's soul bone was even capable of petrifying energy. To defend against it with a defensive technique was, in Dugu Bo's eyes, the same as trapping oneself.
The Slaughter Knight had dominated him throughout the fight, but now he was just one move away from victory.
This battle, I've won!
Dugu Bo burst into laughter, but the Slaughter Knight let out a cold snort.
"Naïve."
The pale light struck the blood-red barrier heavily, and the ensuing burst of radiance instantly transformed the entire blood-red barrier into a dazzling white.
Then, the surroundings of the blood-red barrier began to change. The barrier, which should have been composed of energy, unexpectedly transitioned from ethereal energy into solid matter, turning into stone!
But the next second Dugu Bo's expression laughing expression froze.
The constantly petrified blood barrier and the Dark Gold Blood Bat were not petrifying as he had expected.
The entire bloody barrier was like a water curtain, and the barrier began to overturn, and those parts that had been petrified were actually actively thrown out of the bloody barrier by the barrier.
As if raining, countless petrified energies peeled off from the blood-colored barrier. In just a few moments, the blood-red barrier stood still in mid-air, motionless and solid as ever.
Dugo Bo's expression turned gloomy, while the Slaughter Knight laughed heartily, "How about that, Poison Douluo? How do you like my Blood Curtain Skyswirl?"
"My eighth soul ring comes from a sixty-thousand-year Blood Beetle Worm. Blood armor and water patterns, specialized in defense. The hardness of its blood shell is such that even a Rank 90 assault-type Titled Douluo might not be able to break it in a short time, let alone you!"
"YOU!"
Dugu Bo was both frustrated and furious. He had initially believed he could easily defeat his opponent, but he hadn't expected that the Slaughter Knight would still have such a trick up his sleeve.
The transformed Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, controlled by Dugu Bo, madly assaulted the Blood Curtain Skyswirl with extreme ferocity. The shockwaves it emitted caused even the surrounding trees and plants to wither and wilt.
However, the Blood Curtain Skyswirl remained calm and steady, barely ruffled by the assault.
"Such a sturdy defense!"
"The Dark Gold Blood Bat is already adept at control and mass-destructive soul skills, and now it possesses such top-tier defensive abilities too. It seems that Poison Douluo is destined to lose this duel!"
"The battles of these Titled Douluo are truly grand. To be able to witness such a battle, you can die without regret!"
The onlookers were full of admiration and astonishment.
Fang Yuan, who had emerged from the poison mist array, also witnessed this scene.
"Captain's awesome, just as I said you would be!"
Fang Yuan grinned, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan scanning the surroundings.
As the commotion from the battle between the Slaughter Knight and Dugu Bo grew louder, more and more people gathered to watch. This situation might even attract the attention of members of the Martial Soul Hall, which was something they wanted to avoid.
Without hesitation, Fang Yuan used his soul power to establish a connection with the Slaughter Knight.
"Captain, you're amazing, completely dominating Dugu Bo. However, I've got what I need. It's not suitable to stay here any longer. Let's prepare to retreat!"
Amid the Blood Curtain Skyswirl's hearty laughter, the Slaughter Knight slightly hesitated, then locked onto Fang Yuan's hidden location.
Seeing Fang Yuan unharmed, the Slaughter Knight let out a sigh of relief.
He turned his gaze back to Dugu Bo, who was relentlessly launching attacks. With a cold smile, the Slaughter Knight sneered, "After fighting for so long, it's about time for this old man to go on the offensive."
Scarlet soul power gathered, and the ninth soul ring on the Slaughter Knight's body began to shimmer.
"What?!" Dugu Bo's heart trembled, and he instinctively moved away.
The ninth soul ring of a Titled Douluo had always been their ultimate technique. This was because the ninth soul ring was the one they absorbed with the highest age and the strongest soul power!
Once used, this kind of technique almost had the power to destroy the world. (Bruh, fantasy sewer)
For instance, Dugu Bo's ninth soul skill, the Jade Phosphor Divine Light, held the might to destroy cities and nations!
The Slaughter Knight before him was stronger than him in terms of both soul power and other aspects. The true power of his ninth soul skill was simply unimaginable.
Dugu Bo's expression turned extremely solemn, and he carefully readied himself, prepared to face the Slaughter Knight's thunderous assault.
However, the Dark Gold Blood Bat in front of him unexpectedly didn't launch an attack. Instead, it swung its wings behind it, grabbing a carriage and a young boy on the ground, then swiftly flew into the sky.
"Dugu Bo, right? This battle was enjoyable for me. Unfortunately, time is short, and I have important things to do. We'll fight another day."
"What?!"
Dugu Bo was left dumbfounded.
The Dark Gold Blood Bat already had the advantage of controlling the skies and the ability to fly. With a surge of soul power, the enormous Dark Gold Blood Bat disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention pursuing it, they couldn't even see it anymore.
For a moment, everyone was left stunned.
Did he... just leave like that?
