Chapter 96 Zhu Zhuqing: A Titled Douluo? Just average~
"Let this old man see, for a little thief like you—"
"Is the method to detoxify more important, or is your life more important?"
"Is your life tougher, or is your mouth tougher?"
The moment his words fell, Dugu Bo's body lit up.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul instantly possessed him, emerald scales covering his entire body.
Then his figure flashed into view, appearing before Zhu Zhuqing like a ghost.
"Whoosh~!"
That withered hand, like an eagle's claw, carried a tearing gale as it went straight for her throat!
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be frightened silly, standing frozen in place, watching that claw strike toward her.
'In the end, she's just a little girl, scared out of her wits!'
Dugu Bo sneered inwardly. His palm was only an inch away from her neck, the force already fully gathered.
Puff!
The instant the claw fell, Zhu Zhuqing's body split like a shadow and turned into nothingness.
It was actually a fake body!
"Not good!"
Dugu Bo's heart jolted, and he immediately sensed spatial fluctuations appearing behind him.
Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a crushing pressure like a towering pavilion descend upon him.
His body suddenly sank, and his movements slowed.
"Shua!"
"Gravity Force Pressure!"
"Dark Gold Terror Claw!"
The girl appeared like a fleeting shadow and, without a word, directly unleashed killing moves.
Both hands were coated in dark golden light, striking out with a force capable of destroying everything.
The dark gold left hand suppressed, and the Dark Gold Terror Claw erupted!
Whoosh—!
The wind howled, roaring violently!
Facing that aura of death rushing toward him, Dugu Bo did not dare be careless in the slightest.
The eighth soul ring beneath him suddenly lit up—
"Time Freeze!"
Buzz~
A peculiar fluctuation of soul power spread instantly across the entire field, and the time within the valley seemed to stop at that moment.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure halted abruptly. The Dark Gold Terror Claw stopped less than half an inch from Dugu Bo's face, and even the wind at its tip froze in place.
"Jade Phosphor Violet Poison!"
Seizing the opportunity, Dugu Bo dodged while throwing a punch.
His fist carried dense purple toxic mist, blasting straight toward Zhu Zhuqing's body.
"Boom—!"
A loud explosion rang out as Zhu Zhuqing was blasted away.
The violet poison enveloped her as she crashed heavily, not far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
However, what Dugu Bo did not notice was that the girl's shadow beneath her remained in place, unmoving in the slightest.
The effect of Time Freeze vanished in an instant.
"Hell Shadow Assault! Hell Rush Stab!"
Zhu Zhuqing's true body burst out from the shadows; the speed of the Hell Spirit Cat was pushed to the extreme.
Dark golden light flashed violently, and those claws gleamed with cold light as they struck straight toward Dugu Bo's chest!
"What?!"
Dugu Bo did not even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before his heart leapt into his throat.
It happened too suddenly, and he had no time to dodge at all.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Break!"
His fifth soul ring lit up as he hastily threw a punch to block.
A phantom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor appeared behind him, both hands carrying immense force as they struck like venomous snakes lunging at Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time, toxic mist condensed around him into protective qi, blocking it in front of him.
Clang—!
Claws and serpent force collided violently, terrifying power erupting instantly.
"This strength!"
Dugu Bo felt a tremendous force surge toward him, sending his body flying like a kite with a broken string.
If he had not desperately stabilized himself with soul power, he would have crashed heavily to the ground.
His hands trembled, several deep wounds exposing bone carved across them.
Meanwhile, the girl did not take a single step back.
"Not bad."
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist, sensing the power.
If not for the additional amplification from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she really could not have suppressed Dugu Bo so easily in terms of strength.
"Soul King?!"
Across from her, Dugu Bo had just stabilized his hands with soul power when his gaze locked onto the five soul rings beneath Zhu Zhuqing—
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
Although the hundred-thousand-year soul ring had changed color, the shock it brought him was not reduced in the slightest.
"What kind of background is this?"
A Soul King.
A Soul King who could suppress a Titled Douluo in both speed and strength?
This completely overturned his understanding!
What shocked him even more was that the one he had blasted away earlier was actually Zhu Zhuqing's clone!
Tap, tap~
At this moment, the clone expressionlessly climbed up from the ground.
Ignoring the toxic mist, she returned to the girl's side.
"Senior, thank you for going easy."
Before her words even finished, both the true body and the clone turned into afterimages and shot out.
So fast that the naked eye could barely catch them.
"Jade Phosphor Enchanted Formation!"
The soul rings beneath Dugu Bo suddenly lit up.
A poisonous mist that could confuse the mind and weaken perception swept across the entire field.
His figure flickered as he immediately retreated far away.
"Jade Phosphor Poison…"
Just as he was preparing a killing move, familiar spatial fluctuations appeared once again.
Two Zhu Zhuqings, one in front and one behind, blocked him tightly!
"What kind of soul skill is this?"
Dugu Bo's heart trembled as his eighth soul ring lit up again:
"Time Freeze!"
This divine skill, which consumed enormous soul power, erupted once more, freezing everything around instantly.
"Little thief, die!"
Dugu Bo's figure flickered as he escaped the pincer attack.
A cold light surged in his eyes as his trump card, skull soul skill, erupted with full force—
"Medusa's Gaze!"
Two petrifying beams shot out, blasting toward the two Zhu Zhuqings, respectively.
The soul power consumed in that instant was enough for him to unleash all his other soul skills once over!
With such an outburst, even other Titled Douluo unfamiliar with his abilities would suffer greatly on the spot.
However, what he did not expect was…
Shua!
As the petrifying light fell, one figure was instantly petrified, while the other collapsed like a bubble.
"Another fake body?"
Dugu Bo's pupils shrank sharply.
He frantically scanned the surroundings but could not find any trace of Zhu Zhuqing.
Even her aura was faint and nearly impossible to locate.
Until the moment Time Freeze dissipated, that fatal sense of danger descended once more.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"
Dugu Bo did not dare hesitate in the slightest as his seventh soul ring shone brilliantly.
Green light surged into the sky as the massive Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor appeared, soaring upward.
"Boom!"
At that very moment, the shadow beneath the serpent suddenly exploded.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure burst forth from the shadow.
This time, her speed far exceeded that of before.
"Dark Gold Terror Claw!"
On her cat claws, dark gold edges extended wildly.
With enough soul power gathered, the claw light tore through the sky, shooting toward the ascending Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!
"How is she here?!"
The Dugu Bo was shaken to the core. Unable to dodge, his fourth soul ring flashed wildly—
"Venom Fang Barrier!"
A layer of green toxic mist solidified into a barrier, protecting the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
Shua—!
However, the Dark Gold Terror Claw was unstoppable.
Crack!
The barrier shattered instantly, and the attack landed fiercely on the serpent's body.
The claw light swept past, and a several-meter-long serpent tail was severed, turning into light particles and dispersing!
"Ah—!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor let out a miserable scream.
Enduring the intense pain, he unleashed his ninth soul skill with all his might—
"Jade Phosphor Divine Light!"
A brilliant green divine light burst from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's body, terrifying energy sweeping across the entire valley.
Corroding everything, indiscriminately covering the whole area!
This kind of attack was impossible for Zhu Zhuqing to dodge.
But she never intended to.
"Invincible Golden Body!"
Zhu Zhuqing's body flashed with golden light. She stepped through the shadow and, like a streak of brilliance, instantly appeared above the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
Shua!
Eight Spider Lances spread out behind her, while both cat claws shone with dark golden light.
"Hell Rush Stab! Hell Shadow Assault!"
Shadows clung to her as cold light exploded!
Eight lances and two claws erupted simultaneously!
Puchi—!
Emerald scales shattered and scattered. Dugu Bo could no longer maintain his martial soul true body and crashed heavily from the sky.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.
Several bone-deep wounds pierced through his body. He was already severely injured.
This battle had already been decided.
"A Titled Douluo, nothing more than this!"
Zhu Zhuqing landed steadily, a slight smile curling at her lips.
At this moment, her confidence reached its peak.
She, Zhu Zhuqing, with the body of a Soul King, had defeated a Titled Douluo!
