The moment that desperate scream echoed down from the sky—
Everyone who had still been basking in the afterglow of watching the spectacle felt their hearts jolt violently.
Almost in unison, all heads snapped upward.
And in the next instant—
Everyone's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
High above the clear blue sky, a familiar azure stream of light was plummeting downward, spiraling wildly toward the Feng Ran Pavilion like a meteor that had lost control!
It was no longer majestic.
No longer calm.
Gone was the imposing presence it had displayed when it left earlier.
What remained was only chaos, panic, and the unmistakable posture of something on the verge of crashing!
"That's—Dugu Bo!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo cried out in shock, disbelief written all over his face.
How long had it even been?!
This old freak had just received an earth-shaking opportunity—his martial soul evolving into an Azure Dragon, his strength skyrocketing far beyond the so-called divine realm!
And now… he looked like this?!
Before anyone could process what was happening—
The azure light slammed into the ground at the entrance of the Feng Ran Pavilion with a piercing sonic boom!
Boom—!
The bluestone pavement shattered, forming a shallow crater as smoke and dust billowed outward.
When the dust finally settled, Dugu Bo's figure was revealed.
He knelt on one knee, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.
The handsome, rejuvenated face he had just regained was now pale, drenched in cold sweat, his eyes still carrying lingering terror that refused to fade.
Yet even in such a sorry state—
He never loosened his grip.
He held two girls tightly in his arms, shielding them as if his life depended on it.
One girl had long, dreamlike silver hair cascading down her back, a black veil covering her face. Her features were hidden, but her exposed eyes—clear and brilliant like the purest gemstones—were now filled with fear.
The other had bright purple hair and emerald-green pupils identical to Dugu Bo's earlier appearance.
It was his granddaughter.
Dugu Yan.
At this moment, both girls stared fixedly at the sky behind them, their faces drained of all color.
"Grandpa…"
Dugu Yan's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Dugu Bo didn't answer.
He only tightened his arms around them once more, then raised his head toward the restaurant with a hoarse, desperate roar that tore at the heart.
"Senior—save me!!!"
Before the last word could fully leave his mouth—
The sky itself seemed to darken.
A pitch-black stream of light, as though it could devour all brightness, ripped through the clouds like a falling star from the void!
It descended with unstoppable momentum, carrying an aura that was cold, domineering, and saturated with pure destruction!
Just the leaked pressure alone caused nearly every Titled Douluo present—save for a few exceptions—to feel their souls tremble violently!
"What terrifying aura!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed instantly, his face turning grave.
This wasn't just any super Douluo.
This power had completely surpassed ordinary limits!
And more importantly—
It was openly hostile!
At this critical moment—
"Hmph!"
Two cold snorts rang out almost simultaneously, shaking the air itself!
A dazzling golden radiance and a vast, boundless blue light shot skyward!
Qian Daoliu and Posey transformed into streaks of brilliance, charging forward without the slightest hesitation, intercepting the descending black torrent!
There was no fear in their eyes.
Only solemn resolve—
And burning anger.
What a joke!
Dignified super Douluo like them were working here as security guards!
And now, some unknown trash dared to attack someone right at Senior's doorstep?!
Who did he think he was?!
This wasn't just provocation—
This was threatening their livelihood!
Protecting Senior's shop was protecting their future!
This was—
Their duty as guards!
"This…"
At the side, Seahorse Douluo—newly appointed "apprentice security guard"—stared at the world-ending black stream of light, his scalp going numb, legs trembling uncontrollably.
Every instinct screamed at him to run.
But then—
A memory surfaced.
The egg fried rice he had eaten at noon.
That fragrance.
That warmth.
That flavor he would never forget for the rest of his life.
An unprecedented courage surged up from the depths of his heart!
He clenched his teeth hard, stomped his foot, and forced his shaking legs to obey him.
Even if his strength was weak—
He couldn't fail to repay Senior's kindness!
For the egg fried rice!
"I'll fight you!!!"
The Seahorse Douluo from Sea God Island actually activated his spirit power, preparing to charge forward alongside the two titans!
To be fair—
When trouble came, he really dared to step up.
Unfortunately…
He had barely risen less than half a meter off the ground—
An elbow, heavy as a battering ram, smashed into the side of his face with irresistible force!
"Hey! Don't be stupid, kid!"
Devil Bear Douluo's muffled voice sounded beside his ear.
"You'll just be a burden if you go up."
The problem was—
That "gentle" elbow strike…
Was a little too powerful.
Seahorse Douluo's vision instantly went black.
He didn't even have time to grunt.
His eyes rolled back, and his body dropped straight down from midair.
In short—
He crashed.
Devil Bear Douluo awkwardly caught him, scratching his massive head, his face full of innocent confusion.
"I just lightly elbowed him… why'd he faint?"
Everyone: "..."
You call that light?!
Meanwhile—
In the blink of an eye—
High in the sky, the two symbols of peak combat power violently collided with the terrifying black torrent!
BOOM—!!!
A deafening explosion tore through the heavens!
A shockwave like a raging tsunami swept outward, tearing clouds apart and clearing the sky in an instant!
The arrogant black light actually stalled midair under their combined assault!
But only for a heartbeat.
"Get out of the way!"
A cold, domineering roar echoed from within the darkness.
In the next moment—
An even more terrifying power erupted!
Bang! Bang!
Qian Daoliu and Posey both let out muffled groans, their bodies blasted backward dozens of meters before they barely stabilized themselves!
Shock flashed across both of their faces.
Too strong!
Far too strong!
The black light finally came to a halt, revealing its true form.
A man clad in ancient black robes.
Over two meters tall.
His face was shrouded in thick black mist, his features indistinguishable.
He floated calmly in midair, without visible spirit power fluctuations—yet he seemed fused with heaven and earth itself, exuding an oppressive presence that suffocated all beneath him.
He didn't even bother sparing Qian Daoliu and Posey a proper glance.
Instead, his gaze passed straight through them, landing on the ground—
On the disheveled Dugu Bo standing beside Lin Feng.
"This Venerable has no interest in dealing with you."
His voice was cold and impatient, as though swatting away two annoying flies.
"I only need that person."
"If you don't want to die—"
"Get out of the way."
