Chapter 71: Returning to Emperor Soul Village, Tang Hao's Traces?
"Yue Guan, you've lost!"
Dugu Bo looked down at Yue Guan from a high vantage point. In this battle, with the assistance of Dugu Bo and Chu Chen, Yue Guan had undoubtedly lost!
And it was a total defeat.
"Old Poison, your poison has actually been cured, and it has even become stronger. I underestimated you..."
Yue Guan sneered, "However, someone was actually helping you in the shadows. Dugu Bo, what a clever scheme!"
Dugu Bo retorted, "Many years ago, when you and Old Ghost were hunting me down, why didn't you mention schemes then? Yue Guan, today you can only consider yourself unlucky!"
Dugu Bo condensed his Soul Power, intending to strike again.
Yue Guan immediately panicked. Even though he was heavily injured, he still relied on his tenacious willpower. A violet-gold light bloomed, and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum descended from the sky, stirring up a dense radiance.
"Dugu Bo! Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!"
After leaving those words, Yue Guan quickly fled into the distance. The maximum speed of a Titled Douluo was not something that could be easily caught up with.
Dugu Bo did not continue to pursue him.
He had also consumed a significant amount of energy in the previous battle, so if he were to chase after him like this, he might end up at a disadvantage!
"Haha, Chu Chen, we finally defeated this guy!"
Dugu Bo was in high spirits as he called out to Chu Chen behind him.
However, he did not see Chu Chen appear. Dugu Bo was momentarily puzzled, but then he suddenly thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned into a blurry afterimage, rushing in the direction Yue Guan had fled.
...
"Damn Dugu Bo! If I had known, I would have brought Old Ghost along. You found a helper, and so will I!"
Yue Guan clutched his chest, which was still continuously seeping blood. He had been severely injured earlier, with his internal organs suffering various degrees of damage!
If he hadn't been proficient in plant knowledge, he would have likely already been corroded by the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison.
After employing some special methods to stop the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison from further corroding him, he wanted to leave this place quickly!
"Boom—!"
Suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air arrived. A Blue Silver Spear erupting with dark light pierced through, directly stabbing into Yue Guan's shoulder and passing straight through it.
"What is this?!"
Yue Guan's face was contorted. He directly shattered the black Blue Silver Spear and then fled forward frantically. Before long, he spotted a black figure rapidly approaching.
"Old Ghost!"
Upon sensing the newcomer, Yue Guan felt as if he had seen his lover, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Chu Chen, hidden in the shadows, also stopped his pursuit.
"Why did Gui Mei follow as well? Never mind, testing the current attack power of the Blue Silver Emperor is enough."
Chu Chen restrained his Soul Power and began to retreat.
Currently, Gui Mei was still at his peak, so killing Yue Guan would still be somewhat difficult. However, for Chu Chen, it wasn't a big problem.
Previously, he had used the Blue Silver Emperor's fourth Soul Skill: Life Enhancement!
After transforming into the Ink Jade Blue Silver Emperor, his own attack, toughness, and other attributes had undergone a qualitative Breakthrough. Under circumstances where Yue Guan was completely off guard, this strike was enough to pierce through a Titled Douluo's Physical Body!
"Yue Guan, what's going on with you?!"
Gui Mei was greatly shocked. Wasn't Yue Guan here to duel Dugu Bo? He had only followed behind out of concern; how on earth did he end up this badly injured?
"When did that old fellow Dugu Bo become so powerful?"
Gui Mei immediately took Yue Guan, wanting to return to Spirit City as quickly as possible for treatment.
"Going back this time, I'm afraid I'll be blamed by the Supreme Pontiff again..."
Yue Guan had a mournful look, his heart filled with immense sorrow. Not only had he failed to defeat Dugu Bo, but he was also nearly killed by him. This would be a very humiliating matter to speak of!
"That black spear just now, why did it feel like it was condensed from Blue Silver Grass? How is that possible... How could Blue Silver Grass possess such terrifying piercing attack power?"
Yue Guan said through gritted teeth, "No matter who it is! Next time I see you, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
...
"I say, kid, you're being too adventurous! You dared to hunt down a Titled Douluo like Yue Guan alone?!"
Dugu Bo questioned angrily. Fortunately, Yue Guan was heavily injured and hadn't expected an attack from the shadows at all, which was why he was caught off guard and had his shoulder pierced through.
"Don't get excited. Even if he discovered me, I have a way to get away," Chu Chen smiled, signaling Dugu Bo not to be so worked up.
Looking at the grinning Chu Chen, Dugu Bo felt helpless.
He suddenly realized that he felt very much like a worried old father; after all, Chu Chen's ideas were sometimes truly terrifying!
"Alright, now that this matter is resolved, let's head back,"
Dugu Bo said to Chu Chen, but Chu Chen shook his head, his gaze somewhat nostalgic as he said, "No rush, I want to go somewhere first."
"Where?" Dugu Bo asked casually.
"Emperor Soul Village."
Chu Chen had a smile on his lips. He had long since discovered that this Spirit Beast Forest was not far from Emperor Soul Village. Speaking of which, the last time he went back was a long time ago, and now he had the chance.
He wanted to go back and take a look.
In Douluo Continent, Emperor Soul Village might be considered his home; after all, he had lived in Emperor Soul Village ever since he transmigrated here.
And Tutu also treated him like his own grandson.
"What? Emperor Soul Village? What kind of place has such a domineering name?" Dugu Bo was hearing such a domineering name for the first time.
"Oh, it's just because a Soul Emperor came from the village."
"..."
...
Outside Emperor Soul Village.
"You're the kid who walked out of here?"
Dugu Bo looked at the small village before him, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes as he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This kid has no background, how on earth did he get to know people from Spirit Hall and possess such terrifying talent?"
"Yeah, this is also the place where I grew up."
Chu Chen wanted to walk into the village, but the Blue Silver Grass along the way suddenly conveyed some kind of information to him.
He stopped, quietly released his Blue Silver Domain, and simultaneously began to communicate with a stalk of Blue Silver Grass in front of him.
"..."
Chu Chen's gaze turned a few degrees colder. He stood up and said to Dugu Bo, "There's a situation. The Blue Silver Grass told me that Tang Hao came to the village not long ago, alone... It seems he wants to wait for me to walk into his trap."
"Tang Hao..."
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment; he could actually guess Tang Hao's thoughts.
"Right now, Tang Hao's internal injuries require rest, but he wants to kill you at every moment. So... he chose such an inconspicuous place to wait for your return."
Dugu Bo asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Chu Chen sneered. Since Tang Hao had come to Emperor Soul Village, he naturally had to show some hospitality and give him a big surprise.
"We'll act. It would be best if we can make him explode his rings again. He already did it once last time; if he does it a couple more times, he'll drop dead on the spot."
