Chapter 516 The Ultimate Battle: Dugu Bo vs. Tang Hao
As the Shrek Academy students moved away from the jungle, Dugu Bo did not stop them.
With Tang Hao blocking their way and Sword Douluo Chen Xin lurking in the shadows, even if he were to attack those little rats from Shrek Academy, he might not be able to kill them.
On the contrary, it would be easy to expose a flaw, giving Tang Hao and Sword Douluo Chen Xin the opportunity to attack him.
In that case, it's better to focus our energy on Tang Hao and Sword Douluo Chen Xin. As long as those little rats from Shrek Academy are still in Sunset Forest, they won't escape our grasp.
"Finally couldn't hold back anymore, huh? Heh." Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light as he looked at Tang Hao, who was dressed in a tattered black robe, and said coldly:
"Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao".
Tang Hao frowned:
Do you know me?
Dugu Bo raised his hand and pointed to the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand:
"I don't recognize it, but I'm not blind. I do recognize the Clear Sky Hammer in your hand."
"Your identity is not hard to guess. The Haotian Sect has now closed its gates and is shut out from the sect. Who else in the Haotian Sect who is still traveling on the continent besides you, a discarded son of the Haotian Sect?"
"I never expected that the mighty Haotian Douluo would be so slovenly. It seems that you haven't been doing so well these past few years since you disappeared."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo mock him as an "abandoned son of the Haotian Sect," Tang Hao was enraged, and his face instantly darkened.
How I am doing is none of your business.
He raised the Haotian Hammer high, pointing it at Dugu Bo who was floating in mid-air, and his words were full of threat:
"Dugu Bo, you were trying to harm my son Tang San just now, weren't you? You'd better give me an explanation. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die right here today."
Ignoring Tang Hao's threat, Dugu Bo casually flipped his right hand, fiddling with his green fingernails, and said nonchalantly:
"Oh? So that kid is your son."
"People from your Haotian Sect are all like this. You beat up the young ones, and then the older ones come out."
"But so what? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Anyone who dares to covet what belongs to Dugu Bo, I don't care who they are, I'll kill them all."
At this point, Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at Tang Hao indifferently:
"Speaking of which, those little rats from Shrek Academy were able to venture deep into Sunset Forest and get here, could it be that you were the one who secretly planned and instigated it?"
"Hmph—I'm already being lenient by not causing you any trouble, and you still want an explanation from me?"
Tang Hao was slightly surprised that Dugu Bo had seen through his thoughts, but he remained calm on the surface and instead said in a domineering tone:
"It's an honor for you that my son would like your things."
"Enough with the nonsense, Dugu Bo. Hand over the method for absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit that you possess. Also, hand over your herb garden as well. I think this place is quite nice; it's perfect for living in seclusion."
Since Dugu Bo had already seen through his plan, Tang Hao simply stopped pretending and revealed his purpose directly.
The secret to absorbing soul rings beyond the limit should be hidden on this mountain peak in front of him. The energy of heaven and earth contained here is extremely terrifying, and even he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.
Perhaps, as Xiao San said, there is a treasure trove here, nurturing a rare and precious herb called Immortal Herb, and the secret of the ultimate absorption of soul rings is closely related to it.
If that's the case, then we must get our hands on this treasure basin and the rare medicinal herbs inside.
"You bastard, you finally couldn't hide it anymore?"
Dugu Bo's expression instantly turned serious, and his aura became even colder:
"A method for absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit? And you want my herb garden? Dream on! Kill me if you dare. Otherwise, forget it."
Seeing that Dugu Bo was unyielding and refused so decisively, Tang Hao was already certain that it would be impossible to get what he wanted from Dugu Bo without paying a price.
Thinking of this, the soul power aura belonging to a level 95 Super Douluo suddenly erupted from his body:
"If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
If he could, he actually didn't want to fight Dugu Bo. If he did, his chronic injuries that hadn't healed for years would likely worsen, causing him even greater pain.
But now it seems that this is clearly not going to work.
Only by subduing or killing Dugu Bo can one obtain what one desires.
"What, are you going to make a move?"
Sensing the sudden burst of power emanating from Tang Hao, Dugu Bo remained unfazed and unmoved; in fact, he was somewhat excited.
"Great, come on, I'd like to stretch my arms and legs too."
"I heard that when you first became a Title Douluo, you were able to fight and kill Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall who was a level 95 Super Douluo."
"Let me see if your strength matches the rumors. Tang Hao, don't disappoint me."
Tang Hao snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph—how arrogant!"
"You, a mere ordinary Title Douluo, dare to compete with a Super Douluo?"
Without further hesitation, a terrifying and imposing pressure of soul power erupted from his body, rapidly enveloping Dugu Bo, who was flying in mid-air:
"Dugu Bo, from the moment you saw me, you should have chosen to run away. Now, you have no chance."
Dugu Bo was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing:
"Run away? Why should I run away? What a joke. You think you can beat me? It's like you're the only Super Douluo."
Tang Hao, who was trying to use his soul power to force Dugu Bo into submission, frowned and subconsciously asked:
"What do you mean?"
Despite enduring Tang Hao's overwhelming pressure as a Super Douluo, Dugu Bo seemed completely unaffected, instead offering a mysterious smile:
They say a day apart feels like three autumns, and I do look a bit like I used to.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's mind stirred slightly, and a soul power aura belonging to a level 95 Super Douluo burst out from his body, immediately isolating Tang Hao's Super Douluo pressure outside his body.
This aura was as deep and unfathomable as a prison, clearly indicating that it had reached the pinnacle of level ninety-five, and was in no way inferior to Tang Hao.
"You, you're already level 95?"
Tang Hao was dumbfounded when he sensed the Super Douluo aura emanating from Dugu Bo.
Not only Tang Hao, but also Sword Douluo, who was hiding in the shadows and watching this place closely, was dumbfounded and his face was full of disbelief.
According to their impressions and all the information they had, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had remained at level 91 since he reached the Title Douluo realm, making almost no further progress.
In terms of strength, Dugu Bo is arguably the weakest among all the titled Douluo.
This is one of the reasons why other titled Douluo don't really take him seriously.
Unexpectedly, Dugu Bo had quietly broken through to the level 95 Super Douluo realm, which was beyond their expectations.
Seeing Tang Hao's shocked expression, Dugu Bo's lips curled into a smug smile:
"Level 95 is nothing, it's a piece of cake, isn't it?"
Since practicing poison techniques and taking the celestial herb Snow Swan Kiss bestowed by His Highness the Holy Son, all the poisons in his body have been cured, his soul power has surged, and his subsequent cultivation has been smooth sailing.
If he hadn't devoted most of his energy to cultivating poison techniques and condensing poison pills, thus neglecting his soul power cultivation, his soul power level wouldn't have been only at the peak of level ninety-five; he probably would have broken through to level ninety-six long ago.
Tang Hao paused, his expression becoming solemn and serious, but his tone remained firm:
"Even if you are a level 95 Super Douluo like me, so what? You still have no chance of winning against my Clear Sky Hammer, the number one martial soul in the world."
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and couldn't help but sneer:
"The number one martial spirit in the world? You really have the nerve to say that."
"You probably haven't witnessed what the true number one martial spirit in the world is like. How could your mere Clear Sky Hammer possibly compare to such an existence?"
"If you've ever seen His Highness the Holy Son's martial soul, and you still dare to say that the Clear Sky Hammer is the number one martial soul in the world, then you're ashamed. If you write my name backwards, I'm a being with innate level 20 soul power." Dugu Bo added in his mind.
"Oh? You don't mean the little snake behind you?"
Tang Hao glanced up at the illusory green snake shadow behind Dugu Bo, his old face covered with a thick beard filled with disdain.
Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment, not wanting to say anything more to him:
"Enough talk, let's fight!"
After saying that, Dugu Bo shook his body, and his seventh spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, directly releasing his martial spirit true form.
With a piercing long howl, emerald green light burst forth from his body, and Dugu Bo's tall and slender body, as straight as a javelin, continued to expand within the green light.
In the blink of an eye, his human features disappeared, and he transformed into a giant, emerald-green snake.
The giant snake's body was as thick as a water vat, and its scales were diamond-shaped, with a clear emerald green color, like jade, with each scale layered on its body.
This is Dugu Bo's seventh soul skill - the True Form of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
Because Dugu Bo's cultivation had reached the peak of level 95 Super Douluo, the Martial Soul True Body that his body transformed into was a full 100 meters long, and he looked like a super soul beast of 100,000 years.
The Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's true form was enormous, with most of its body standing upright, enveloped in a thick, misty green fog that almost obscured half the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the moment his Martial Soul True Body was fully transformed, Dugu Bo made his move without the slightest hesitation.
With a half-turn of its massive body, the giant snake tail lashed out at Tang Hao, who was standing on the ground, with lightning speed.
Facing a master like Tang Hao, who is at the level of a Super Douluo, there is no point in using ordinary soul skills to test him. It would be better to start with the Martial Soul True Form and launch an attack directly in the strongest form.
Dugu Bo's attack was very sudden, and he immediately used a powerful move like the Martial Soul True Body, which startled Tang Hao.
However, despite his years of decline, his fighting instincts remained.
Tang Hao remained calm in the face of the giant snake tail that was lashing out at him.
Driven by his own will, the soul power within his body rapidly boiled like molten lava, then accelerated its circulation, flowing along the meridians to his right hand, and then through his palm into the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
The black hammer he held in his palm suddenly grew thicker and longer, expanding considerably in the wind. Although it wasn't as thick as Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor true form, it was sufficient to deal with the attack from the giant serpent's tail.
With a low shout, Tang Hao turned halfway around, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his two calves exposed outside his tattered trousers tensed instantly, and he looked like a tiger ready to pounce.
Immediately afterwards, he exerted force with his legs, turned his waist back, and the power burst out from his calves, carried by his waist and back, transmitted to his shoulders, then to his arms, and finally merged with the soul power of the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, transforming into a tremendous force.
Tang Hao used his blacksmithing technique—the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Clearly, they were treating Dugu Bo's giant snake tail, which he had attacked, as if it were iron.
The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is a forging hammer technique used to remove impurities from metal. It requires repeated stacking and increasing of power and is not very suitable for combat. However, it is very suitable for blocking Dugu Bo's snake tail attack at this moment.
Without anyone noticing, the Haotian Hammer had been brought back, and then it slammed down on the giant snake tail that was attacking.
boom--
The Haotian Hammer collided with the giant snake's tail. The black hammerhead and the emerald scales rubbed against each other, sparks flying everywhere. But what was produced was not the sound of metal clashing, but a thunderous roar.
The deafening roar was like divine punishment, causing the ground in the nearby forest to tremble. Terrifying soul power was released in all directions, and the violent shockwave snapped one large tree after another.
Centered on the battle site, within a radius of several dozen meters, the area was in complete disarray, with almost all vegetation destroyed.
This is the battle between Super Douluo. A simple exchange of blows, yet it possesses such terrifying power.
The effect was obvious; with a single, unrestrained hammer strike, Tang Hao successfully blocked Dugu Bo's attack.
After the Clear Sky Hammer collided with the giant snake tail, Dugu Bo's giant snake tail was knocked away and retreated, while Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer was also thrown high into the air due to the force of the impact.
However, Tang Hao used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, which allows for the stacking of power. The greater the recoil from the initial attack, the stronger his next attack would be.
However, how could Dugu Bo allow Tang Hao to continue his attacks as Tang Hao wished?
Dugu Bo had already obtained detailed information from Saint Ye Qifeng, and he was very familiar with Tang Hao's abilities.
The snake tail attack failed, which was expected, but Dugu Bo's real attack was yet to come.
Just as Tang Hao was about to swing the hammer, using the recoil to amplify the force and deliver the next blow.
The true form of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, which Dugu Bo's body had transformed into, suddenly opened its blood-red maw. Thick and powerful soul energy gathered at the serpent's mouth, instantly condensing into a dense ball of emerald green venom, which it then violently spat out, shooting towards Tang Hao like lightning.
Tang Hao felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a threat. He quickly abandoned the idea of continuing to stack the Chaotic Cloak's attack power, and dodged swiftly.
The emerald green venom, like a streak of green light, brushed past Tang Hao.
Although it failed to hit Tang Hao's body, after hitting the ground and scattering, a few drops splashed onto Tang Hao's tattered black robe and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
