Chapter 320: Azure Dragon vs. Golden Holy Dragon
"No! Tianheng! Dugu Yan, you bitch—how dare you?!"
Not far away, a certain "Grandmaster" roared in rage as he watched his blood-related nephew perish on the spot.
"I'll kill you!"
Compared to the Grandmaster who only dared curse from a distance, the passionately devoted Liu Erlong was far more decisive. Her seventh soul ring lit up as she transformed into a fire dragon about ten meters long, lunging straight toward Dugu Yan.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Dugu Yan snorted coldly. Twisting her body, the iron tail of the golden flood dragon behind her lashed out, instantly sending Liu Erlong flying, hurling her straight in the direction of the Grandmaster. The furious fire in the Grandmaster's eyes was instantly replaced with sheer terror.
At the critical moment, the elder love warrior Flender arrived flapping his black wings, stepping in to catch Liu Erlong mid-air and thus saving the Grandmaster from being smashed to death by his spiritual wife and cousin.
Liu Erlong coughed up blood and struggled out of Flender's arms. Her face twisted in rage as she shouted, "Boss Flender! Xiao Gang! Let's go together!"
"Sun and Moon Radiance—Golden Transformation!"
Flender and Yu Xiaogang each took a step to the side, forming an equilateral triangle with Liu Erlong. Intense golden light burst from all three of them, soaring into the sky.
"Luo Sanpao!"
With a loud shout from Yu Xiaogang, a pig-like creature with light-purple fur appeared in the center of the formation, grinning menacingly at Dugu Yan.
At the same time, a total of eighteen soul rings rose from the three and poured into Luo Sanpao's body.
With power from two Soul Douluo and one mostly negligible Grandmaster, Luo Sanpao's body began to swell rapidly. The light-purple fur faded, replaced by a radiant golden glow enveloping his entire being.
Roar!
With a majestic dragon cry, Luo Sanpao revealed his true form—Golden Holy Dragon.
A powerful and awe-inspiring aura surged from the Golden Holy Dragon's body. A chill ran down Dugu Yan's spine, and she instinctively took a few steps back.
Even among dragon-type martial souls, the Golden Holy Dragon was a high-rank existence, whereas Dugu Yan's Golden Flood Dragon was merely a lower-rank martial soul within the dragon lineage. This massive difference in bloodline instantly suppressed Dugu Yan's power.
"Dugu Yan, die!"
From within the Golden Holy Dragon came Yu Xiaogang's furious roar. Although Flender and Liu Erlong far outclassed Yu Xiaogang in strength, Luo Sanpao—being his martial soul—meant that in their fusion skill, the weakest member ended up taking the lead.
Having just witnessed his nephew's death, Yu Xiaogang opened with a killing blow. The dragon's massive jaws parted, unleashing a golden breath of divine flame aimed straight at Dugu Yan.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Divine Golden Floodlight!"
Dugu Yan's eighth soul ring lit up, and a dazzling golden beam shot from the mouth of her flood dragon.
The two beams collided head-on. In an instant, the violent clash of energies swept across the battlefield, flinging ordinary soldiers and lower-ranked soul masters into the air.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Turn to Glass—Seven Treasures, first is Strength, third is Spirit, fifth is Attack, sixth is Amplify."
While Dugu Yan and the Golden Holy Dragon were locked in a stalemate, Ning Fengzhi made his move. From his brilliant tower, four colorful beams of light descended onto the Golden Holy Dragon, amplifying its strength, soul power, attack, and attributes—all by 80%.
With both Liu Erlong and Flender now at the Soul Douluo level, and the Grandmaster still negligible, their martial soul fusion skill could temporarily rival a Title Douluo. With Ning Fengzhi's buffs, their strength soared toward the threshold of Rank 95.
Dugu Yan, with only Rank 92 soul power, and her martial soul suppressed by the superior dragon bloodline, was instantly overwhelmed under the interference of Ning Fengzhi. The mighty breath of the Holy Dragon shattered her attack and surged toward her.
"Sixth Soul Skill—Azure Dragon Shield!"
At that moment, countless streaks of azure light shot through the night sky like meteors, brushing past Dugu Yan's body and converging before her into a greenish-blue shield.
With a resonant hum, the golden dragon breath was instantly dissipated, yet the azure shield stood firm and unshaken.
Zilong, clad in flowing green robes, flashed forward and positioned himself in front of Dugu Yan.
"Miss Dugu," he said calmly, "this Golden Holy Dragon counters your martial soul too strongly. Leave him to me."
Dugu Yan nodded. With Ning Fengzhi's support, the Golden Holy Dragon was indeed more than she could handle. Without hesitation, she directed her Golden Flood Dragon to engage elsewhere on the battlefield.
"A martial soul fusion technique infused with a trace of Bright Holy Dragon bloodline? Interesting. Allow me to test it myself."
Battle intent burned in Zilong's eyes. With a shout, his seventh soul ring lit up as he activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming instantly into a massive azure dragon, even more robust than the Golden Holy Dragon. Facing the golden behemoth head-on, Zilong's enormous dragon eyes glared unwaveringly at his opponent.
Zilong's martial soul was born from his own constellation, not part of the dragon lineage native to the Douluo Continent. Even if the Dragon God were to resurrect, it couldn't exert any bloodline suppression on him—let alone a fusion skill that merely contained a trace of Bright Holy Dragon blood.
With his Martial Soul True Body fully active, the aura unique to a Super Douluo erupted without restraint, and the oppressive force now reversed—the Golden Holy Dragon was being suppressed instead.
Feeling suffocated under the pressure, Yu Xiaogang lost his composure and charged the Golden Holy Dragon straight at Zilong.
The Holy Dragon let out a thunderous roar, its massive wings flapping as it lunged forward. Razor-sharp claws swung downward, aiming fiercely at the azure dragon with a strike so powerful the very air seemed to tremble.
The azure dragon—Zilong—also raised his colossal claw and slashed forward like a bolt of lightning cutting through the sky.
Where his claw passed, the force unleashed was far beyond what the Golden Holy Dragon could match. The energy wave was so terrifying it tore the surrounding space itself, and the walls of nearby palace buildings cracked with massive fractures.
Boom!
The two claws collided with a deafening crash.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Holy Dragon's attack collapsed entirely.
The azure claw paused only for a moment before pushing forward again.
A streak of blood burst forth as the claw slashed across the Golden Holy Dragon's chest. Countless golden scales scattered and fluttered to the ground, where they turned into particles of light and slowly vanished.
Pffft!
As the ones controlling the martial soul fusion technique, Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang experienced it all firsthand. When the azure dragon's claw tore through the Golden Holy Dragon's chest, all three felt an agonizing pain in their own chests and simultaneously coughed up blood. The weakest of the three, Yu Xiaogang, even staggered, barely able to stay on his feet.
