Chapter 335: Dugu Bo and Tang Xiao Battle Gold Crocodile Douluo!
Looking at the already defeated Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Tang Xiao and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance, their expressions changing simultaneously. However, just then, Gold Crocodile Douluo suddenly spoke up: "What are you looking at? Now that only the two of you are left who can still fight, don't say this old man is bullying the young. Come at me together."
Sword Douluo was already heavily injured; if they retreated now, everyone behind them would be doomed.
Only by fighting to the death could they perhaps buy a glimmer of time for that slim chance of a turning point!
"Poison Douluo, today you and I shall join forces to test this Spirit Hall Second Worshipful Elder!"
Tang Xiao let out a thunderous shout, then suppressed all distracting thoughts in his heart. He knew well that he had no chance of winning in a one-on-one fight against Gold Crocodile Douluo; only by coordinating with Dugu Bo would there be a sliver of a chance to hold him off.
"Heh heh, this old man's poison has yet to be fed to a ninety-eighth-level crocodile!" Hearing this, Dugu Bo gave a sinister laugh. A cold light flickered in his emerald eyes, the poisonous mist around him suddenly boiled, and he launched the first attack!
The great battle was instantly ignited!
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Jade Phosphor Divine Dragon True Body!"
With a low shout, Dugu Bo's body instantly twisted and expanded, transforming into a green giant dragon dozens of meters long, its entire body covered in emerald-like scales!
The giant dragon soared into the air, poison mist surging like a tide. Opening its mouth, it spat out a breath of ink-green poison flame, condensed to the extreme, carrying a virulent poison capable of corroding the Soul, as it swept towards Gold Crocodile Douluo.
Meanwhile, Tang Xiao's figure shot out like a cannonball, once again starting with the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method. But he knew full well that against such a formidable enemy, there would likely be no time to stack up the power.
Immediately, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the eighth Soul Ring on his body lit up.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Clear Sky Collapse Strike!"
The next second, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand did not become exceptionally large; instead, its dark light retracted, as if a massive amount of energy had been compressed to its limit. Ancient dark red patterns emerged on the hammer head. Immediately after, he leaped high into the air, pouring all his Soul Power and Battle Intent into this single blow.
Then, with the force of an axe splitting Mount Hua, he smashed it down fiercely towards the top of Gold Crocodile Douluo's head!
This strike sought ultimate explosive power and defense-breaking capability, created specifically to shatter formidable defenses!
"Hmph, merely two clowns."
"Today, this old man will let you witness the true strength of a ninety-eighth-level Titled Douluo."
Facing the pincer attack from above and below, Gold Crocodile Douluo sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his vertical pupils. He did not even use his Ninth Spirit Skill, merely having his fifth and sixth Soul Rings light up in succession.
His outermost ninth Soul Ring was strikingly a red, one-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Crocodile God Armor!"
Instantly, a layer of thick, ancient dark golden energy armor, marked with primitive scale patterns, covered his entire body. The poison flame sprayed upon it, emitting a sizzling sound, but it struggled to corrode it quickly.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Berserk Gold Crocodile!"
Following the release of his Sixth Spirit Ability, the giant golden crocodile tail phantom behind Gold Crocodile Douluo solidified once more, like the tail swipe of a true divine crocodile. Then, accompanied by a shrill whistle that tore through space, it first unleashed a horizontal sweep, striking at the poison flame spat out by Dugu Bo!
"Boom—!"
The poison flame was largely dispersed by the sheer force, and the remaining portion was blocked by the Crocodile God Armor.
Immediately after, the crocodile tail did not pause, its trajectory twisting strangely from bottom to top, meeting Tang Xiao's descending, earth-shattering hammer!
"Clang—!!!"
A sound even more terrifying than before exploded in mid-air!
In an instant, the dark red cracks on the Clear Sky Hammer flared with light, attempting to shatter everything.
But that crocodile tail phantom was unimaginably sturdy. At the point of impact, fine black cracks appeared in space, then spread outwards in all directions!
Following this, Tang Xiao felt an irresistible force surge from the hammer handle. The bones in his arms emitted a teeth-grinding sound, a sweetness rose in his throat, and his entire body was sent flying upwards by the backlash of that power, the momentum of his Clear Sky Hammer instantly disintegrating!
"Hmph, a mere ninety-sixth-level Titled Douluo dares to act presumptuously before this old man!"
Seeing this, Gold Crocodile Douluo sneered again. His figure paused only slightly before pouncing forward again, aiming directly at Tang Xiao in the air, who had exhausted his old strength and had not yet generated new strength!
"Poison Douluo, help me!" Watching the suddenly pouncing Gold Crocodile Douluo, Tang Xiao's expression darkened. He forcibly twisted his body in mid-air and shouted sternly.
"Head Soul Bone Skill—Medusa's Gaze!"
Hearing this, the Jade Phosphor Divine Dragon True Body that Dugu Bo had transformed into suddenly opened its mouth, but instead of spitting poison flame, it shot out a pale white beam from its eyes, condensed to the extreme and almost materialized!
This pale white beam carried not a trace of heat, yet it could petrify even energy. At this moment, it shot towards Gold Crocodile Douluo's back at maximum speed, forcing him to turn back to defend!
"Child's play."
Gold Crocodile Douluo didn't even turn his head. He casually slapped his left palm backward, golden light condensing in his palm to form a small yet incredibly solid golden scale shield.
The pale white beam struck the scale shield, instantly emitting a strange sizzling sound. Immediately after, the golden light on the shield's surface fluctuated violently, and a small pit was corroded into it, which then petrified, but it ultimately failed to penetrate.
Meanwhile, Gold Crocodile Douluo's right fist, already carrying the momentum of wind and thunder, had slammed in front of Tang Xiao!
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Clear Sky Avatar!"
At this moment, Tang Xiao had nowhere left to dodge. Daring not to hold anything back, the black seventh Soul Ring on his body lit up, and he instantly unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a giant and blocking horizontally with the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Boom!"
Fist and hammer collided, and the Clear Sky Avatar shook violently.
Lasting only for a second, Tang Xiao was sent flying backward, hammer and all. The black light on the Avatar instantly dimmed, and blood poured continuously from the corner of his mouth.
"Not good, Titled Douluo Xiao!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Myriad Poisons Devouring Heart!"
Watching this scene, Dugu Bo's expression also changed slightly. His dragon tail swept across, and countless emerald poison needles, as fine as ox hair, shot towards Gold Crocodile Douluo's vital points like a rainstorm.
However, the Crocodile God Armor around Gold Crocodile Douluo flared with golden light. Most of the poison needles were deflected upon impact, and the few that pierced in struggled to penetrate deeply in time. He completely ignored these annoyances, his figure following like a shadow as he pursued the flying Tang Xiao. His fifth Soul Ring lit up, and his palms transformed into a sky full of palm shadows.
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Thousand-Fold Crocodile Wave Palm!"
Every one of his palms was as heavy as a mountain, continuous and unending, completely enveloping Tang Xiao.
Facing such a situation, Tang Xiao could only dance the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand until it was impenetrable, struggling to hold on. With every palm he blocked, he took a step back, his blood and Qi churning even more violently.
Although Dugu Bo had been maneuvering to support Tang Xiao, constantly harassing Gold Crocodile Douluo with poison mist, poison flames, and poison needles, and even attempting to bind him with his Jade Phosphor Divine Dragon True Body, Gold Crocodile Douluo's power was too terrifying. He would often break free with a single struggle, forcing Dugu Bo back with a backhanded palm or tail swipe.
At this moment, the battle situation had become a one-sided crushing defeat.
Gold Crocodile Douluo was fighting two alone, firmly holding the upper hand, and was even handling it with ease.
His fighting style was simple and efficient, centering on absolute power and defense, supplemented by the exquisite use of spirit skills, completely suppressing Tang Xiao's domineering ferocity and Dugu Bo's sinister ruthlessness.
Looking at Tang Xiao and Dugu Bo, although their coordination was tacit, they were constrained at every turn in the face of an absolute gap in strength. Tang Xiao's attacks could not shake the opponent's defense, while he himself constantly suffered heavy blows.
Dugu Bo's poison was also unable to take effect quickly; instead, he had to constantly dodge Gold Crocodile Douluo's counterattacks, which could heavily injure him with a casual strike. The two men's Soul Power was depleting rapidly. The more they fought, the more alarmed they became; the more they fought, the more powerless they felt, and soon, signs of defeat were already showing.
At this rate, it shouldn't take long.
The two would follow in Sword Douluo's footsteps, perhaps even meeting their demise faster!
However, at this moment, on the horizon in the distance from the imperial palace, that cold fluctuation containing the aura of life and death had already approached the outskirts of the imperial palace!
The battle raged on, the Soul Power in the sky surging like boiling water.
As time dragged on, the Jade Phosphor Divine Dragon True Body, into which Dugu Bo had transformed, showed a barely perceptible stagnation during a brief interval of recovery after spitting out poison mist.
For an ordinary Titled Douluo, this might not even be considered a flaw.
But for Gold Crocodile Douluo, whose combat instinct had reached the Transcendent realm, it was more than enough!
He seized that fleeting moment. His massive body displayed a ghostly speed completely inconsistent with his size, suddenly closing the distance. The golden crocodile tail behind him, which he commanded like an extension of his own arm, swung out again without any embellishment. This time, it struck directly at Dugu Bo's relatively weaker flank!
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's pupils constricted; he only had time to retract the surrounding poison mist to protect his body.
"Bang—!!!!!" The next second, a dull, extreme impact sound rang out, as if a heavy hammer had struck tough leather.
The golden crocodile tail lashed squarely onto the waist and abdomen of the Jade Phosphor Divine Dragon True Body!
Instantly, the protective poison mist on it was shaken away by the sheer force, and the hard emerald scales at the point of contact shattered piece by piece, caving inwards!
"Ah—!"
Dugu Bo let out a painful groan. His massive Martial Soul True Body, like a loach swatted away by an ancient giant beast, flew sideways uncontrollably, rapidly shrinking in mid-air and reverting to human form.
"Boom!"
The next second, he smashed heavily onto the ruined ground dozens of meters away, dust and smoke rising into the sky like a mushroom cloud. The ground was smashed into a deep pit. Dugu Bo lay at the bottom of the pit, his face pale as gold paper, the Soul Power fluctuation around his body weak and chaotic; he was already injured and had lost the ability to fight.
