Chapter 518 Sword Douluo Takes Action, Two Against One?
Beyond the mountain peaks, amidst the dense forest.
The fight between Dugu Bo and Tang Hao was as fast as lightning, making it difficult to catch their movements.
The two would sometimes leap into the air and sometimes land on the ground, dodging and weaving, leaving the dense forest in ruins as a result of their battle.
Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been secretly watching the battle, dared not get too close, lest he be caught in the crossfire.
At the same time, Sword Douluo was also secretly surprised. He never expected that Dugu Bo had hidden himself so well that he had already cultivated to the level of a level 95 Super Douluo, and his combat power was comparable to that of Tang Hao.
Ah, I really want to have a go at him, to try and cut him with my sword.
At this moment, a fighting spirit suddenly arose in Sword Douluo's heart, but after thinking about it again, it seemed a bit inappropriate to intervene rashly at this time.
Moreover, he also had to start considering one thing: given Dugu Bo's immense strength, was it really worth it for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to offend him?
…………
At this moment.
In a forest in complete disarray.
Dugu Bo and Tang Hao continued to exchange blows and clash.
"You should feel honored, Dugu Bo, for forcing me to use my Haotian True Form!"
Tang Hao swung his hundred-meter-long Clear Sky Hammer as he spoke in a domineering and arrogant tone.
Dugu Bo, however, remained unfazed, laughing heartily and retorting sarcastically:
"Haha—, this is nothing! The real show is yet to come. A mere Martial Soul True Body dares to be so arrogant? Watch my Dragon Tail Swing!"
Another hammer blow landed, and Tang Hao took the opportunity to retort with two sarcastic remarks:
"A mere little snake dares to call itself a dragon? I'll smash your dog's head in one blow."
However, Dugu Bo was someone who wouldn't yield to either soft or hard tactics, so this kind of mockery was meaningless to him.
"Heh, you think you can anger me like this? You're going to be disappointed. Show me what you've got. If that's all you've got, you can't hurt me."
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo opened his scarlet mouth, which was covered in sharp fangs, and spat out a large mouthful of phlegm, or rather, venom, at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao dared not be careless, nor did he dare to fight head-on; he could only dodge at lightning speed.
Damn it! How come that old poisoner Dugu Bo is so troublesome? His deadly poisons are really too annoying.
Speaking of which, when did he become so strong? What happened to being the weakest Title Douluo? Could it be that this old poison master was just pretending to be weak all along?
I was forced to use even the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, but I still couldn't defeat him. Should I use the Great Sumeru Hammer to finish him off?
Tang Hao is not a Soul Master known for his Soul Skills. His true strength comes from the secret techniques he has mastered, namely the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques—the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky and the Great Sumeru Hammer.
Compared to the somewhat lackluster Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, the Haotian Nine Absolutes and the Great Sumeru Hammer are the true ultimate techniques of the Haotian Sect, powerful abilities that can be truly applied in actual combat.
The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian are nine unique power-generating techniques of the Haotian Hammer, each with its own distinctive characteristics.
The Great Sumeru Hammer is the exclusive cultivation method of Haotian Douluo, a divine skill that only gods can perfectly wield.
The ultimate technique of exploding rings is unique in the entire Douluo Continent; it is a desperate skill of the Great Sumeru Hammer.
Tang Hao, who mastered the two secret techniques of Haotian Nine Absolutes and Great Sumeru Hammer, also took a somewhat extreme path.
Whether it's a spirit ring or a spirit bone, they both grant strength-based or amplification skills, following a pure strength-based approach that relies on sheer power to overcome all other abilities.
Therefore, even if his opponent's soul power is higher than his, he can still overpower his opponent with his strength.
This is what makes Tang Hao so powerful.
Of course, in addition to the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and the Great Sumeru Hammer, Tang Hao also possesses a powerful domain-type skill—the Killing God Domain.
The Killing God Domain is a martial soul talent domain formed by the killing intent of a soul master. It is a reward obtained after passing through the Hell Road in the Trial Grounds—the City of Slaughter—where the Asura God selects his successor.
The Killing God Domain is extremely powerful, amplifying one's own strength while weakening the enemy's, and it also increases in power as one's killing intent grows stronger.
Tang Hao rarely uses the three abilities: Haotian Nine Absolutes, Great Sumeru Hammer, and Killing God Domain.
Especially the Great Sumeru Hammer and the God of Slaughter Domain.
The Great Sumeru Hammer is a desperate killing move. After unleashing a burst of power, the user will be exhausted. If the opponent doesn't die, the user will have to escape; otherwise, the user will be the one who dies.
The Killing God Domain, on the other hand, requires the use of killing intent to trigger its eruption, and also requires a strong mind to master and control it; otherwise, it is easy to be affected by one's own killing intent.
In this way, releasing the Killing God Domain will inevitably affect one's mind, and then the hidden injuries in the body that have not healed for many years will be impossible to suppress.
Whether it's the Great Sumeru Hammer or the Killing God Domain, using them will only worsen the hidden injuries within one's body, making it truly a losing proposition.
Therefore, in order to avoid aggravating his own hidden injuries, Tang Hao only used the nine unique hammer techniques of the Haotian Nine Absolutes to deal with Dugu Bo in this battle.
Tang Hao's physique is not as good as Dugu Bo's, who has transformed into a beast soul body, but in terms of domineering, strength and explosive power, he is not to be underestimated and may even be stronger than Dugu Bo.
Even so, even though Tang Hao used the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, he still failed to defeat Dugu Bo.
After all, in terms of sustained combat capability, Dugu Bo is far stronger and more skilled than Tang Hao.
Even though his strength and explosive power couldn't match Tang Hao's, his deadly poison was something Tang Hao dared not touch. It was perfect for harassing and controlling Tang Hao, making him extremely annoyed but helpless.
Furthermore, Dugu Bo's martial soul is a snake-type martial soul like the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, which is swift and incredibly slippery, making it difficult for Tang Hao to injure him.
As time passed, Tang Hao gradually grew anxious and impatient, and even began to consider whether to directly use the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Killing God Domain to kill Dugu Bo in one fell swoop.
However, this thought only flashed through Tang Hao's mind for a moment before he quickly dismissed it.
No, no rush, I have helpers, there's no need to fight him to the death.
Hmm? Wait, why hasn't that old bastard Chen Xin made a move yet?
Are you perhaps planning to sit back and watch the tigers fight, then reap the benefits? Heh, don't even think about it. Since you don't want to come out, then I'll force you to.
Tang Hao's expression darkened. He forced Dugu Bo back with a hammer blow, then immediately transmitted his voice as a line of sound towards the hiding place of the Sword Douluo, using his soul power:
"Sword Douluo, if you don't make a move now, when will you? Quickly join me in taking down this old poisoner."
"Oh? They're starting to call for people?"
Dugu Bo smiled calmly. Since the soul power was transmitted to him right in front of him, he could naturally sense it.
However, I don't really care.
Anyway, he had known about Sword Douluo Chen Xin's existence for a long time and had been on guard against it.
Upon hearing Tang Hao's telepathic message, Sword Douluo frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied via telepathic message:
"Haotian Douluo, it's not that I don't want to take action, but the intelligence was wrong. Dugu Bo is clearly not just an ordinary Title Douluo, but a powerhouse on the same level as you and me. This has far exceeded our expectations."
"Excuse my bluntness, but our cooperation was based on the premise that we could capture Dugu Bo. But now that premise can no longer be guaranteed. Even if I take action, I may not be able to keep Dugu Bo here."
"This is extremely disadvantageous for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"I think it's better to take a long-term view."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao immediately flew into a rage, "You, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, are going to break the contract?"
Sword Douluo coughed lightly in the soul power transmission:
"Well, that's not the case. Since I'm here, I will naturally fulfill the agreement to cooperate."
The swordsman fears no one and dares to draw his sword against anyone. However, as the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he must weigh the pros and cons before acting and consider the interests and safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Then why didn't you make a move?"
Tang Hao was furious, but he suppressed his anger and transmitted his voice:
"You must have heard what my son Tang San said to Dugu Bo earlier. Dugu Bo's herb garden contains things that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs."
Sword Douluo hesitated for a moment, but continued to transmit his voice:
"As agreed, our ultimate goal is what Dugu Bo possesses. We just need to get it; it doesn't necessarily have to involve fighting and killing."
"Furthermore, our sect leader has instructed that we do not wish to antagonize Dugu Bo unless absolutely necessary. If possible, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to pay a price in exchange for what we need."
Hearing this, Tang Hao couldn't hold back any longer:
"Sword Douluo, even now, do you think your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can still stand aside?"
"Since Dugu Bo possesses the same cultivation level as us, he must have discovered us long ago."
"Do you think, given Dugu Bo's temperament, he would still be willing to make a deal with your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo frowned once again.
Tang Hao's words were not without reason. His presence here was a provocation and a disrespect to Dugu Bo, which could be considered an offense.
Given Dugu Bo's temperament, if you want to get something from him, you'd have to offer something that matches it and interests him in exchange, or use force.
But if you offend him, there is absolutely no chance.
Thinking of this, Sword Douluo sighed, and then, with a flicker, he appeared directly on the battlefield where Dugu Bo and Tang Hao were fighting.
Sword Douluo is straightforward and upright by nature. He disdains sneak attacks and will always draw his sword openly and honestly if he is to make a move.
Besides, he didn't intend to take action directly.
"Sword Dao Chenxin, you've finally come to let go."
Seeing the sudden appearance of Sword Douluo, Dugu Bo was not surprised. Instead, he chuckled and said sarcastically:
"I never expected that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would get involved with Tang Hao, that stray dog."
The words he uttered struck a nerve with Tang Hao once again.
"It's just a temporary collaboration."
The Sword Douluo, dressed in a bright white robe, his figure as swift as a sword, nodded slightly to Dugu Bo.
"I'm sorry, Poison Douluo. In my heart, I have no intention of being your enemy, but the sect leader has given me an order, and I must obey."
"You possess something that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School desires. If possible, we hope you can part with it and give it to us. Whatever the cost, as long as our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can afford it, we will pay it."
Dugu Bo glanced at him in surprise:
"Oh? What do you want from me?"
Sword Douluo did not hesitate and spoke the truth:
"A method for absorbing soul rings at the ultimate limit, and a celestial herb called 'Qiluo Tulip'."
Dugu Bo shook his head to indicate his refusal:
"impossible."
Sword Douluo frowned and asked:
"Is there absolutely no room for compromise?"
Dugu Bo chuckled coldly:
"Ever since you and that bastard Tang Hao showed up at my herb garden, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been my enemy. You still want something from me? Don't even think about it. Unless I'm dead!"
Tang Hao, who had been watching the two talk coldly from the side, finally broke his silence and said to Sword Douluo:
Why waste words with him?
"If we can just take him down, everything he has—whether it's the method for absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit, the so-called immortal herbs, or even his herb garden—will all be ours, right?"
Sword Douluo sighed in disappointment, feeling helpless:
"In that case, I have no choice but to offend you. Please try my sword and see how sharp it is."
Dugu Bo was fearless:
"Enough talk, let's fight!"
He originally intended to obtain what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted from Dugu Bo in a peaceful manner.
But it seems impossible now, as Dugu Bo already considers them enemies.
Sword Douluo no longer held any hope. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a simple, ancient greatsword, about two meters long and half a foot wide, suddenly appeared out of thin air in his right palm.
It was his martial spirit, the Seven Kill Sword.
The moment the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul appeared, sword energy surged across the field, fierce winds blew continuously, and the sharp sword intent pierced people's hearts and skin.
At the same time, rings of spirit rings slowly emerged from beneath Sword Douluo's feet. The colors of the spirit rings were the same as Dugu Bo's nine spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black.
"Seven Killings True Form!"
Sword Douluo held his sword with both hands, the sword tips pointing downwards, and slammed it into the ground. The seventh soul ring that had just risen suddenly shone brightly, and he directly unleashed his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body.
In an instant, Sword Douluo's true form was enveloped by a layer of bluish-white sword light, transforming into a Martial Soul True Form that was a hundred meters tall and looked exactly like his original form.
The Seven Kill Sword in his hand also swelled into a giant sword a hundred meters long and landed in his true form's hands.
Sword Douluo witnessed the entire battle between Dugu Bo and Tang Hao and knew that both of them were extremely powerful. Since they had already used their Martial Soul True Forms, he naturally could not fall behind.
Sword Douluo swung his greatsword, the tip pointing directly at Dugu Bo, and spoke to Tang Hao:
"I'd like to have a good match with Poison Douluo. Haotian Douluo, why don't you rest over there for a while?"
Sword Douluo was an extremely proud person and was unwilling from the bottom of his heart to do something as unethical as fighting two against one, as it made him feel very ashamed.
However, Tang Hao disagreed, shaking his head to indicate his disagreement.
"No, you can't take him down by yourself. Let's attack together and finish this quickly to avoid causing any more trouble."
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of danger, as if something unfavorable was about to happen to him.
