Chapter 100: Retreat
Dugu Bo's figure flickered, and he silently approached the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was currently enjoying its meal.
It seemed that this Titled Douluo was still going to use his specialty: poison!
When the distance was sufficient, a ghostly light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and he raised his hand for a sharp killing move.
A dark green serpent shadow made of poisonous mist opened its mouth wide and bit ferociously toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's neck.
Bang!
When the venomous snake touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's fur, it actually only left a shallow trace of corrosion.
"Hmm?"
A look of astonishment clearly flashed across Dugu Bo's face.
Although he hadn't used the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison just now, it wasn't weak either. To think he couldn't even break through this bear's fur?
This is the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear for you!
Hiding in the shadows, Lin Yang let out a soft sigh. Powerful offense and defense, along with a super-strong Physical Body, created this highly lethal mountain of a tank.
At this moment, Dugu Bo seemed somewhat shamed and angry.
As a dignified Titled Douluo, his poison couldn't even break through the fur of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
If word of this got out, wouldn't his reputation as the 'weakest' Titled Douluo be set in stone?
By now, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had already discovered Dugu Bo, who had attacked it.
It didn't hesitate—or rather, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear never knew the meaning of hesitation, even when facing a Titled Douluo.
Its massive body charged over like a heavy tank.
It appeared clumsy and slow, but its speed was actually extremely fast.
With every step it took, the ground felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and cracked patterns spread frantically in all directions.
"Vile beast, do you really think this old man is made of clay?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, and the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
Dark green poisonous mist spread out from his body; wherever it went, the vegetation withered instantly, emitting a foul, fishy stench.
The poisonous mist condensed into a three-meter-long venomous snake, biting toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's eyes.
Roar!
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a furious roar, and a physical sound wave suddenly expanded outward.
It raised its right claw high and swung it fiercely. The sharp claws rubbed rapidly against the air, producing a sharp, ear-piercing screech.
Not only did it instantly slice the venomous snake into several segments, but its momentum remained undiminished.
An incoming sensation of extreme sharpness made Dugu Bo's scalp tingle, and he didn't dare to take it head-on.
His body twisted sharply, turning into a dark green shadow as he retreated violently toward the side and rear.
Swish—!
The sharp claw wind landed in the woods behind him.
Trees and rocks within a range of over ten meters in front of him were sliced clean through at the middle, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.
"Old Poison, I've come to help you!"
Ye Xuanyin's voice came from the side.
A fiery red lotus floated before him, and beneath him, eight Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—shone brightly.
"Good!"
Dugu Bo did not refuse.
He had the pride of a Titled Douluo, but he wasn't a fool.
He had now also discovered the terrifying nature of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
With high attack, high defense, and high resistance, ordinary toxins probably couldn't even break its fur.
Perhaps only his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison would have a chance.
"Sixth Soul skills, Red Lotus Karmic Fire Array!"
A massive phantom of a lotus suddenly appeared beneath the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, trapping it inside. The crimson flames spewing from the center of the lotus instantly submerged it.
This was a Soul skills that combined control and attack.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a long roar toward the sky, a faint layer of dark golden light actually emerged on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's fur.
It was precisely this light that blocked most of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
At the same time, it raised its giant paw and slammed it fiercely against the ground.
Bang!
The ground split open.
Ye Xuanyin's Soul skills was broken.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear ignored Ye Xuanyin entirely and turned its head to look at Dugu Bo, who had the strongest aura.
Dugu Bo quickly shouted, "Old Man Ye, buy me some time."
"Alright!"
Ye Xuanyin controlled his Overlord Scarlet Flame Lotus Martial Soul, continuously shooting out flames of terrifying temperature.
Despite the layer of light blocking them, it still left the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear looking battered and exhausted.
But Ye Xuanyin's goal wasn't to kill, but to stall and buy time for Dugu Bo.
At this time, the seventh Soul Ring beneath Dugu Bo's feet instantly lit up, and a touch of jade green suddenly enveloped his entire body, like a giant snake egg.
Crack—!
The "snake egg" split open, and Dugu Bo's figure had vanished, replaced by a massive Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor that flew out from within.
It was over ten zhang long, with jade-green scales tightly arranged like a layer of emeralds embedded in its body.
The snake's tongue flickered in its mouth, and thick green mist swirled around its body.
This was the Titled Douluo-level Martial Soul True Form—the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor that Dugu Bo had transformed into made a sudden dive toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. With a swing of its massive tail, it actually knocked the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear back over ten meters.
This wasn't over yet; a cloud of dark green poisonous mist sprayed from the snake's mouth, instantly submerging the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
This was Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison. Ordinary Soul Masters would instantly turn into a pool of liquid upon contact, and even a Titled Douluo would not dare to face it head-on.
And just then, Lin Yang suddenly emerged from his hiding place and shouted loudly, "Elder Poison, watch out!"
The moment he spoke, Dugu Bo had already sensed an extreme danger.
Roar!
At this moment, under the cover of the dark green poisonous mist, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right claw actually swelled to three times its size. The already terrifying claws flickered with dark golden light.
With one strike, faint black lines actually appeared in the space at the tips of the claws.
Under the lethal threat, Dugu Bo, whose scalp was tingling, didn't have time to think. He immediately twisted his snake body and retreated violently.
However, the dark golden light on the giant claw actually detached from the claw itself, condensing into a physical claw-beam that flew rapidly toward Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo's scalp felt numb; for a moment, he was actually unable to dodge in time.
"Fifth Soul skills, Overlord Lotus Petal Shield."
A massive lotus shield blocked the way in front of Dugu Bo.
But in the end, it was only a fifth Soul skills. The moment it collided with the claw-beam, it was torn apart like a hot knife through butter.
But it also bought Dugu Bo a breath's worth of time.
The eyes of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor he had transformed into turned deathly pale, and a pale light shot out from its pupils.
Soul Bone Skill: Medusa's Gaze!
That dark golden claw-beam was instantly turned into a piece of stone and fell from the sky.
It hit the ground with a booming sound.
At this time, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear charged out from the poisonous mist. Every strand of fur on its body stood on end like steel needles, shimmering with a dark golden glow.
This layer of glow, which acted like a protective shield, was extremely difficult to deal with.
Any attack that landed on the glow would first be weakened by thirty percent. Combined with its incredibly powerful body, it was simply an unsolvable existence.
Of course, Dugu Bo's Origin serpent poison was not without results.
Beneath the glow, it was clearly visible that a layer of fur had been completely corroded away, and the flesh underneath was torn and bloody.
The wound was being continuously corroded by the toxin, but given the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive body, it would probably be extremely difficult to poison it to death.
"Kid, we should retreat!"
Dugu Bo's voice carried a sense of solemnity. He had to admit that he and Old Man Ye together were not a match for this giant bear.
It wasn't that Dugu Bo was too cowardly, but that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear simply countered him too much.
It was very difficult for his toxins to take effect in a short amount of time.
If they fought a war of attrition, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear might not be worn down before their Soul Power was exhausted first.
