Chapter 98: Sword Douluo vs. Dugu Bo
In the sky, a sword dragon spirals, its sword intent soaring into the heavens.
Everyone looked up, eager to witness the dramatic turn of events.
Dai Yao withdrew his soul power from Dugu Yan's body, taking a moment to adjust his breathing. He felt a surge of joy and let out a deep breath.
"Finally, they've come!" he thought excitedly.
Looking up, he saw the sword dragon dancing in the sky, with a seven-story pagoda atop it, radiating seven-colored light.
Dai Yao's eyes narrowed in surprise. "That's...?! Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?! Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master?"
"Why are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect people the first to arrive? Where are the Wuhun Hall people?"
With such a grand display from Sword Douluo, Dai Yao wasn't sure if they had come for him. If they had used Sword Douluo, a Super Douluo, to intervene, his debt to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be impossible to repay!
As Dai Yao's soul power gradually dissipated, Dugu Yan suddenly felt a chill on her back as Dai Yao's hands left her jade-like skin.
"What happened?"
She hesitated to open her eyes after the incredibly comfortable sensation. When she did, she felt disoriented and confused.
She carefully checked the poison in her body and was pleased to find that within such a short time, a tenth of the toxins had already been removed.
Just as she was about to celebrate, she sensed something and quickly raised her head. When she saw the sword energy filling the sky, she was stunned.
She immediately realized that she was bare-chested. She wanted to scream but suddenly felt a warmth on her back, as though a layer of clothing had been draped over her.
Looking back, she saw that Dai Yao had taken off his own shirt and covered her with it.
She froze for a moment, a warm feeling blossoming in her heart. Reflecting on her earlier attitude towards Dai Yao, she turned her head and softened her tone.
"Why did you cover me with your clothes?"
Dai Yao coldly looked at Dugu Yan and replied, "Everything you've done to me, I remember. It would be impossible for me not to hate you."
"But I won't take your clothes, and I won't retaliate by exposing you. That's too despicable; I'm not that low."
"The suffering I've endured in the past few days, I will make you all pay for it!"
Dai Yao's cold gaze sent a shiver through Dugu Yan. She bit her lip and was silent for a long time.
"Go find a place to change your clothes," Dai Yao glanced at her and said.
Dugu Yan stood up, gave him a deep look, and then quickly ran to find a secluded place to change.
Once she left, Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly moved to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, carefully scanning the sky.
Even if Sword Douluo had come to rescue him, it didn't guarantee his survival. To avoid Dugu Bo's desperate actions, Dai Yao stayed close to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. If anything went wrong, he was prepared to jump in.
The powerful poison from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye could at least delay a Title Douluo for a moment.
"Stay steady," Dai Yao thought.
As the sword dragon appeared, Dugu Bo, who had been standing by the stone pile at the mountain entrance, exploded with soul power, which surged like a tidal wave, slamming into the surrounding forest.
Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black.
Nine soul rings revolved around Dugu Bo, slowly rotating.
A terrifying aura spread out, causing the soul beasts of the Sunset Forest to lower their heads.
Dugu Bo's green eyes were filled with solemnity as he gazed at the sword dragon in the sky, vigilantly saying, "Sword Douluo Chenxin, Sect Master Ning, why have both of you come to my medicinal garden?"
Chenxin smiled faintly, humming lightly. His entire being was like a sword that could pierce the heavens, exuding an overwhelming sharpness. He said, "Dugu Bo, hand over Dai Yao, and today's matter will be over. Otherwise, my Seven Killing Sword will pay a visit to your Green-scaled Snake!"
Having fought with that bone dragon for so long, he was beginning to grow bored. He was eager for a new challenge.
Dugu Bo paused for a moment, his eyes flicking toward Dai Yao near the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. He thought to himself:
"Why would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect step in for Dai Yao? Could it be that he is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? But why would they send someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to that run-down academy in Oakland?"
"How did they even know that Dai Yao is here? Did his capture reveal any clues?"
However, Dai Yao was the key to curing the Green-scaled lineage's poison.
Even if he wasn't a match for Sword Douluo Chenxin, he had to try everything to keep Dai Yao from leaving.
"Two gentlemen, who exactly is Dai Yao to you? Why would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect go to such lengths, sending Sword Douluo to rescue him?" Dugu Bo asked.
Chenxin's companion, Ning Fengzhi, smiled gently and said, "Lord Green-scaled Snake, although Dai Yao has no relation to us, our determination to save him will not change."
His tone was gentle, but the words were firm.
Dugu Bo's heart sank further. It seemed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was determined to save Dai Yao, but he could not afford to let him go.
"With that kid's shrewd nature, he must have known that I wouldn't let him go. He was just stalling, waiting for someone to rescue him. If I let him go, he would definitely stop treating Yan Yan!"
"Given all this, I cannot let him go!"
Having made up his mind, even if Sword Douluo intervened, he would still take action!
"Two gentlemen! Please leave! I won't hand over Dai Yao!" Dugu Bo said hoarsely.
"It seems like you want to test the sharpness of my Seven Killing Sword?" Chenxin shook his head. A strand of white hair swayed gently on his forehead. In the next moment, his eyes snapped open, and they were so sharp that they seemed to cut through the air. He released a sword intent that, like lightning, shot toward Dugu Bo!
Dugu Bo's expression grew grim as he leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the sword intent.
The sword intent struck the mountain pass beneath Dugu Bo's feet, and with a tremendous roar, the sword intent cleaved a huge crack in the mountain pass!
Countless rocks flew into the sky, some falling outward, while others were sent crashing toward the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye!
As Dugu Bo soared high into the air, he looked back and his face instantly darkened. Below him were his precious medicinal garden and his granddaughter!
Just as he was about to dive down to intercept the falling rocks, Chenxin's sword energy, filling the sky, rushed toward him!
Dugu Bo's eyes instantly turned blood-red.
"Chenxin, you've gone too far!" he roared.
The seventh black soul ring glowed, and Dugu Bo's thin, tall body rapidly grew larger, swelling and rising into the air.
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo transformed into a thirty-meter-long Green-scaled Snake. His diamond-shaped emerald scales covered his entire body, making him resemble a giant emerald snake.
Most of the snake's body stood upright, its scales extended outward, and its bright green eyes locked onto the sword dragon above. Its forked tongue flicked in and out, and dense green mist swirled around it.
It was Dugu Bo's seventh soul skill!
The True Body of the Martial Soul—Green-scaled Snake Emperor!
Without dodging or evading, he faced the storm of sword energy head-on.
Far in the distance, Salas, riding his eagle, looked up and saw a terrifying sight.
A huge green serpent soared into the sky, while sword energy filled the heavens, forming a funnel that rushed toward the massive snake.
The entire world seemed to be divided into two colors: silver-green on the ground for the Green-scaled Snake Emperor, and silver in the sky for the sword energy.
Feeling the immense soul power fluctuations, Salas anxiously shouted, "Old Jin, hurry up!"
The eagle flapped its wings, and the fifth soul ring shimmered. With a cry from the eagle, its speed increased to lightning-fast!
