"Hehe, what's wrong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, is this all you've got?" Seeing that he had the upper hand, Dugu Bo began to mock.
"Damn it, Old Poison, don't get too cocky, I haven't gotten serious yet, Third Spirit Skill, Holy Breath Barrier!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's Third Spirit Skill, Holy Breath Barrier, is a control skill that releases the petals of the Marvelous Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum to surround the opponent, rendering them unable to move.
This move doesn't have much effect on Dugu Bo, who has already reached the Titled Douluo realm, but it's enough to restrict him for a moment. Taking advantage of this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly retreated, widening the distance between the two.
Chrysanthemum Douluo is not a Titled Douluo who excels at close combat, and his Spirit Power is close to level ninety-five. Suppressing Dugu Bo with stronger Spirit Power is the most correct approach.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, you're using even such small tricks to deal with me, are you out of moves?" At this time, Dugu Bo was far from as flustered as he was in the original work.
In the original work, he was only just entering level ninety-two, while Yue Guan was between level ninety-four and ninety-five. He could even say to the outside world that he was a level ninety-five Titled Douluo without any problem. The difference in Spirit Power between the two sides was close to three levels, so he was naturally severely suppressed.
But now, Dugu Bo, through taking the Purple Gold Pill, plus the assistance of Tianlin's Holy Breath Barrier for the past six months, his Spirit Power has also reached the late stage of level ninety-three, and the actual level difference with Yue Guan is actually less than two levels.
Coupled with the strengthened Jade Scale Serpent Emperor poison, he is confident in fighting Yue Guan head-on.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, prepare to die, Seventh Spirit Skill, Jade Scale Serpent Emperor True Body!" Dugu Bo finally unleashed his Spirit True Body, and his entire body instantly transformed into a giant venomous snake covered in emerald green scales.
Wherever the venomous snake passed, all the grass and plants instantly withered, the potency of the poison was astonishing.
"Hmph, Spirit True Body, I have it too, Seventh Spirit Skill!" Seeing this, Yue Guan also activated his Spirit True Body. He belonged to the Tool Spirit, so his Spirit True Body did not change his main body, but directly acted on the Marvelous Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum.
In the sky, a large chrysanthemum covered the sky and sun, obscuring a large area of the forest.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Golden Stamen Overflowing Xia!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's Sixth Spirit Skill after activating his Spirit True Body, its power can be described as earth-shattering. If it directly hit the ground, it would probably raze the surrounding several miles to the ground.
"Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison!" Dugu Bo also circulated his entire body's Spirit Power to contend with Yue Guan's Sixth Spirit Skill. The two powerful forces stalemated in mid-air, and for a time it was difficult to determine the winner.
"Old Poison, you have indeed become stronger, but my level is always above you, take this!" Yue Guan roared, increasing his Spirit Power output.
The light of Golden Stamen Overflowing Xia continued to grow, gradually suppressing Dugu Bo's poison.
Dugu Bo didn't say much, seemingly struggling to support himself, but in reality, he was already confident of victory.
"How can this Old Poison be so calm? Eh, something's not right!" After a while, Yue Guan finally discovered the clue. He did seem to have the upper hand, but in reality, he hadn't really harmed Dugu Bo. On the contrary, his Spirit was actually constantly being contaminated with poison.
"My Spirit, it's actually being corroded, how is that possible?" Yue Guan said in disbelief.
"Hehe, finally discovered it? Chrysanthemum Douluo, your Spirit Power is indeed above mine, but you've overlooked a very important thing, and that is Spirit restraint. We poison Soul Masters innately restrain many plant Soul Masters, don't you know that?" Dugu Bo said with a sinister smile.
"Impossible, that's for ordinary plant-type Spirits, my Spirit is a celestial grade." Yue Guan roared.
That's right, as a celestial grade, the Marvelous Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum is not only powerful, but also resistant to poison. Therefore, when Yue Guan faces poison Soul Masters, he is not only not restrained, but can even restrain them in return.
It was by relying on this point that he had been able to suppress Dugu Bo all along.
But resistance is not immunity after all. When the poison resistance limit of the Marvelous Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum is broken through, the suppression of poison Soul Masters on plant Soul Masters appears, which is to gradually corrode the opponent's plant Spirit, thereby completely losing combat power.
Ever since Dugu Bo guided his poison into the Medusa Spirit Bone, combining the two, his Jade Scale Serpent Emperor poison had long reached a new realm. Coupled with the Spirit Power purification of the Purple Gold Pill, every attack of the current Dugu Bo contains the most intense and pure poison.
He deliberately guided this battle to a clash of powerful Spirit Skills between the two sides, just to continuously output Spirit Power, and gradually corrode Chrysanthemum Douluo's Marvelous Velvet Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum in the stalemate between the two sides.
"You Old Poison, you actually set a trap to harm me, you're really too despicable." As his Spirit was corroded, Chrysanthemum Douluo's power was gradually weakening. Finally understanding, he couldn't help but roar.
"All's fair in war, Chrysanthemum Douluo, today is your death date."
Dugu Bo continued to increase his Spirit Power output, the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor began to gain the upper hand, and the light of Golden Stamen Overflowing Xia was constantly being pushed back. If this continued, Chrysanthemum Douluo would undoubtedly die.
Just at this critical moment, suddenly, a gigantic Ghost Hand appeared between the two. The Ghost Hand formed a fist and punched the point where their spirit power clashed, sending both Yue Guan and Dugu Bo staggering back from the impact of this powerful blow.
This Ghost Hand was clearly on Yue Guan's side, because Dugu Bo had been gaining the upper hand. If it hadn't suddenly appeared to interrupt the battle, Yue Guan might have already been dead.
"Only seeing the Ghost Shadow but not the Spirit Rings, hmph, Old Ghost, I didn't expect you to come too." Dugu Bo snorted coldly, already guessing the identity of the newcomer.
The Ghost Shadow gradually solidified into a human form, standing beside Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Old Ghost, you've come too!" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the newcomer, his eyes full of surprise, even somewhat affectionate. These two guys, no matter how you look at it, have an unusual relationship.
"Chrysanthemum Guan, you're really useless, you can't even beat an Old Poison." The Ghost Shadow mocked.
From Ghost Douluo's words, one could sense that his strength was even greater than Yue Guan's.
"This Old Poison's Spirit counters me, otherwise, I could have killed him just by suppressing him with spirit power." Chrysanthemum Douluo said unwillingly.
"Hehe, his Spirit counters you, but it doesn't counter me. I'll take care of him. After killing him, we can go back to drink and eat meat." After Ghost Douluo finished speaking, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Dugu Bo.
His speed far surpassed Yue Guan's. Unlike the power-attack type Yue Guan, he was an agility-attack type. For a time, Dugu Bo was forced into a difficult position.
His attacks were simply too strange. Dugu Bo didn't even know where to unleash his poison.
Dugu Bo thought to himself, "Damn it, this Old Ghost is indeed powerful. If I continue to fight like this, I'm afraid I won't be a match for him. Once Chrysanthemum Douluo recovers and joins the battle, being besieged by two Titled Douluo, my life will be over. In that case, this old man has no choice but to..."
