Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Cleverly Reversing Evil Enemies

Title Douluo said, "Dugu Bo and Li Qing left Heaven Dou City three days ago and went to Sunset Forest. We can make our move on their inevitable path."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, "Are we going to directly snatch it, or try to win them over?"

"Uh..."

Snake Spear Douluo and Title Douluo were speechless for a moment. What could they say? They couldn't possibly say that Li Qing had a grudge against your mother's paramour and couldn't be won over, could they?

Qian Renxue glanced at the two of them suspiciously.

Her intuition told her there was something fishy going on, but if the two of them weren't willing to talk about it, it must be something she wasn't supposed to know, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Then I'll trouble the two Seniors."

After Title Douluo and the other man indicated it was no trouble, they left. Qian Renxue, with a hint of curiosity, picked up Li Qing's intelligence report again and examined it carefully.

Li Qing's best choice should have been to join Spirit Hall, but he didn't do so.

Perhaps it was because his parents died in the line of duty and he held a grudge, but judging by the attitude of the two Seniors, that didn't seem likely. That left only one possibility.

Master.

Some things can't be hidden just by wanting to. Although everyone was trying their best to conceal it, Qian Renxue still found some clues.

Now, it was almost certain.

Li Qing transferred schools because of Master, and Master had a lot of contact with that crazy woman in Spirit City. Coupled with her current attitude towards Li Qing.

So... this waste is her white moonlight?

Qian Renxue was a little confused. That crazy woman held a grudge against her father, and even against herself, all because of such a waste who couldn't even find any redeeming qualities?

...

Dugu Bo and Li Qing came out of Sunset Forest and headed towards Heaven Dou City. However, not long after they left, they saw a middle-aged, moderately built old man walking slowly towards them.

"Be careful, it's a Title Douluo."

Dugu Bo didn't recognize the person, but he could sense the other party's strength, so he subconsciously shielded Li Qing behind him, staring intently at the other party.

Li Qing asked, "You don't know him?"

Dugu Bo said, "I don't know him, but it's precisely because I don't know him that he's dangerous, because Title Douluo I don't know are likely elders of Spirit Hall who don't show their faces much."

Li Qing nodded.

He looked about seventy or eighty years old, with a moderate build. This reminded Li Qing of Title Douluo, one of the Title Douluo beside Qian Renxue, but he wasn't entirely sure.

He scanned the surroundings.

Li Qing said, "If he's coming for me, there should be other Title Douluo in the dark. Spirit Hall shouldn't be stupid enough to send just one person to deal with you."

Dugu Bo said, "Don't worry, I won't be far from you."

Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He said this because he was afraid that Dugu Bo would fall for the other party's tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain. He was no match for a Title Douluo.

The old man stopped a hundred meters away.

"Poison Douluo, I have no intention of being your enemy. Hand Li Qing over to me and I'll leave immediately. I assume you've already mastered the method of Martial Soul evolution. It's not worth starting a war with my Spirit Hall for someone who has no value, don't you think?"

Dugu Bo sneered, "Just with you?"

The old man shook his head, "This time I came alone, but next time it might not be the case. You know the strength of my Spirit Hall, you can't protect him."

Dugu Bo said, "I might not be able to protect him, but I can still drag a few down with him."

"I can't say for those above Title Douluo, but I can wipe out everyone below Title Douluo for you, do you believe it? If you don't believe it, you can try it, or do you want to bet on my character?"

The old man's eyes gradually turned cold, "So, there's no room for negotiation?"

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and dots of green light emanated from his body. A brand new Martial Soul possession form appeared, and nine spirit rings slowly rose from his feet.

Seeing this, the old man's expression changed slightly.

Not only because of Dugu Bo's new form, but also because of his terrifying aura.

This aura was at least level ninety-five.

A level ninety-five Dugu Bo was different from a level ninety-two one. The other party had actually reached this level without a sound.

"Isn't it just the method of Martial Soul evolution? What's the big deal?"

Li Qing said helplessly. In the end, Dugu Bo was just one person. If Spirit Hall was determined to capture him, Dugu Bo alone really couldn't protect him.

"Li Qing!" Dugu Bo looked at him with some confusion.

Li Qing pretended to be helpless and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to pay such a heavy price for me. Besides, you can protect me for a while, but you can't protect me forever."

The old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. If he could, he really didn't want to fight with Dugu Bo.

Although his Martial Soul could restrain Dugu Bo's poison, the current Dugu Bo was no longer the same Dugu Bo as before. If they really fought, he might not gain any advantage.

Moreover, if Dugu Bo was provoked, Spirit Hall might not be able to bear the cost.

"Kid, you're sensible," the old man said with a smile.

Li Qing sneered, "Don't be happy too early. If you want me to give it away for free, I'd rather die. A month from now, I will auction the Martial Soul evolution method at the Heaven Dou Auction House."

"If you want it, you'll have to compete for it with your own abilities."

"Also, I don't want gold spirit coins, only spirit bones. And don't bring out those less than ten thousand years old to make a fool of yourselves. I only want those over ten thousand years old."

The old man frowned tightly.

This kid really dared to say it. Did he think ten thousand year old spirit bones were roadside weeds? My spirit bones aren't even complete yet, where would I get extra ten thousand year old spirit bones for him?

"Or you can try the hard way."

Li Qing took out a long sword and placed it against his neck, then looked at Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu Bo, as soon as he makes a move, I'll commit suicide immediately. At that time, please distribute a copy of the evolution method to the forces that have the ability to protect it."

"Hahaha..."

Dugu Bo understood and laughed heartily, "Okay, even if I have to risk my life at that time, I will make sure all Soul Masters below Title Douluo in Spirit Hall go down to be buried with you."

Li Qing looked at the old man and asked, "How about it, want to make a bet?"

The old man stared at him coldly.

This kid was truly remarkable. It was one thing that he wasn't afraid of two Title Douluo at such a young age, but he even played psychological games with them.

The key was that they really didn't dare to gamble.

It wasn't that he truly believed Li Qing dared to commit suicide, it was more because of Dugu Bo. The other party's personality was already eccentric, and if he was really provoked, he could do anything.

Of course, the most fundamental reason was that he didn't want to risk his life.

Because there were clearly better options, but Bi Bi Dong insisted on causing trouble for that waste. It was absolutely impossible for him to risk his life for Yu Xiaogang.

Bi Bi Dong caused this matter, let her worry about the spirit bones herself.

"Kid, you've got guts, but you'd better not be thinking of a delaying tactic, otherwise I will definitely let you know what it means to be better off dead."

After saying that, the old man turned around and left directly.
