Dugu Bo sat up and recovered from the shock soon.
He was shocked because he couldn't even see who attacked him.
He was very wary and looked around for the hidden master.
Just when he was alert, a childish voice with a casual tone resounded.
"My mother is a very anxious and worrying person. So, do me a favor and don't flaunt your aura like that, you third-rate poisoner."
Dugu Bo turned his gaze to the young Rayne with a displeased look.
Especially the term 'third-rate poisoner'. Dugu Bo was very upset at hearing this.
His poison skills are his pride, even though he himself is aware of some of his own flaws. Dugu Bo believes that there is no one in the continent that can compare with him in poison skills.
But he couldn't be bothered to deal with a child seriously.
So, he used his soul power pressure a bit, intending to silence the arrogant white haired boy.
He didn't hold back at all since he has already decided to kill everyone here the moment they saw this treasured land.
Seeing this,
"Rayne!!!" Shui Xin'er called out in deep worry and was about to rush to Rayne.
"…"
Dugu Bo and Rayne stared at each other. Soon, the old man's eyes widened in disbelief.
From his perspective, this white haired unreasonably handsome boy seems to be oblivious to his soul power pressure.
"You can withstand my pressure, even if just a bit… I suppose you have some sort of special soul tool? It doesn't matter! It'll be mine soon!"
Dugu Bo could physically take action to kill Rayne. But his dignity as a 'Legendary' Titled Douluo didn't allow him to personally take physical action against a 'powerless mortal', much less a six year old child.
Dugu Bo increased his soul power pressure a bit more.
It's just that…
Dugu Bo felt no response from Rayne.
Now… even Dugu Bo felt something very abnormal.
'Is there really a hidden master around? Or…'
Dugu Bo looked Rayne with uncertainty.
Seeing the boy's calm and indifferent look, he started to feel very uneasy.
He caught a glimpse of Ah Yin looking at Rayne with admiration. And unlike the other two, Ah Yin hasn't shown any hint of worry or fear.
This only made Dugu Bo feel more uneasy.
From his perception, Ah Yin personally obviously doesn't have the means to deal with him or get away from him unscathed.
And from the way she looked at Rayne, it was unsettlingly obvious where her sense of security comes from.
Seeing Dugu Bo's uncertain look, Rayne said in a bored tone.
"Don't look so hesitant like a coward. Don't worry, other than us four and you, there isn't anyone here."
Dugu Bo was startled by Rayne's sudden words, then glared at the cocky white haired boy who spoke to him so casually.
'This boy… there's something odd about him…? No! That's impossible! Just how powerful could a child possibly be?!'
Dugu Bo became a bit panicked at his own unbelievable observations.
He subconsciously increase his soul power pressure to his limit.
Boom—
A horrifying, cold and eerie dark green aura erupted from Dugu Bo like raging flames! The surrounding air distorted and an incomparably heavy pressure fell on Rayne's group.
Shui Xin'er and the other two turned pale with fright at feeling this power. Their legs felt shaky.
Xiao Wu, in particular, was horrified! She even started shedding tears in fright.
"Such a bad luck!! Damn Rayne!! If I die here, I'll haunt you forever!"
She regretted following Rayne.
She closed her eyes unwillingly, but the expected impact didn't come.
She opened her eyes, wondering if Dugu Bo suddenly became kind and decided to spare them.
They could still feel the terrifying soul power pressure of a titled Douluo.
But surprisingly, other than that, they didn't feel the soul power pressure causing them any harm.
Because, a gauze of silver energy had suddenly covered them, protecting them from any harm.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo had an expression of disbelief and shock.
What really made him upset was…
Rayne stared at Dugu Bo with an innocent smile. He even winked at him rather teasingly.
"How dare you break into my medicine garden and still have the nerve to provoke me like this?! You puny brat, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
To this, Rayne spread out his hands, seemingly 'helpless' and said in sarcasm, "I didn't mean to look down on you. It's just… you're so weak, I pity you."
Dugu Bo: "You…!!"
Looking at the abnormal intruder in front of him, a hint of viciousness and murderous intent flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Martial soul possession!"
Regardless of his inner shame of having to attack a child, he instantly possessed his martial soul. Nine soul rings of two yellow, two purple and five black appeared around him.
Dugu Bo took on a terrifying and chilling dark green serpentine form.
Then, his figure flashed by quickly, and as soon as he made a move, it was with extreme viciousness.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this scene, Rayne narrowed his vibrant blue eyes slightly, and then under the gaze of the three women behind him, she simply stretched out her right hand.
His Kāma seal glowed with a red-gold light for a moment. Then, the black tattoo-like marking covered the right side of his arm, extending to his face.
"Since you like to use your soul power pressure to suppress others, then I'll do the same." Rayne muttered under his breath.
Boom—
The next moment, an incomparably powerful pressure suddenly appeared, directly suppressing the aggressive Dugu Bo to the ground, making him unable to move.
He was knocked out of his martial soul possession and was smashed to the ground with tremendous force, causing a small crater around him.
Dugu Bo spat out a few mouthful of blood and had a look of disbelief on his face.
"You, who are you… No… what are you?!"
Dugu Bo, kneeling on the ground, looked at the white haired boy in front of him with fear and shock.
He couldn't understand what was going on here at all?
He is a Titled Douluo after all. Although his cultivation is at the bottom among these titles, he is at least genuine.
His experience is quite vast. But even with that, he couldn't quite comprehend what is going on now.
Is he dreaming?
Why is he, a Titled Douluo, being suppressed by a child without any room for resistance?!
Even now, he was thinking of a surprise attack and escaping from here. But to Dugu Bo's shock, he couldn't move at all. And that's not all!
His martial soul was out of his control and completely suppressed under the terrifying aura.
Dugu Bo understood that, the white haired boy most likely had an unbelievably superior dragon-type martial soul or maybe just the bloodline. Even if the other party isn't releasing the dragon aura, the presence alone is enough to suppress his martial soul.
You know, his martial soul is Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, a powerful martial soul even among the top martial souls.
But now, he's been suppressed without any chance of resistance. And this frightened Dugu Bo.
Rayne took a few steps and came in front of the kneeling Dugu Bo.
"You're lucky that I know you. Otherwise a good punching bag like you wouldn't be just suppressed."
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and scoffed.
"At least I'm better than you, an old veteran disguising himself as a child and showing off! You disgusting freak!"
Dugu Bo spat in disdain.
Rayne raised an eye brow at this. But he didn't take Dugu Bo's words seriously.
"I'm only six years old physically, though not mentally. So, I suppose you're half correct!" Rayne nodded, somewhat agreeing.
Then continued.
"Leaving aside this insignificant matter, let's talk about some serious matters."
Dugu Bo: "Hmph! I have nothing to say to a thief like you who invaded my medicine garden! Kill me if you want! I'll never surrender to you!"
"Your medicinal garden? I believe this treasure land is mine though?" Rayne said in a puzzled tone.
"Yours?! If you want to take away my medicine garden, just say so! Such a hypocrite!" Dugu Bo snarled at him.
Rayne didn't respond to him, but looked around. He saw a particularly insconpicious place, like a big ball of floating green poison.
He waved his hand and a burst of wind erupted from him. This powerful wind struck at the poison fog, blowing it away.
"Stop! Don't!"
Seeing this, Dugu Bo was infuriated, yet panicked.
What was left was a brown-gold stone slab with some writings on it.
The writings, or the letters seemed to have a powerful intent on them, even though the meaning of the sentence engraved on the stone slab was very simple and was more of an introduction.
What is written is...
"Greetings to whoever you are, and congratulations on encountering this blessed land. I'm Rayne, but you may know me as God of Contracts or Meteor God Douluo! I'm the owner of this place! If you encounter a treasure you can recognize, you may take only one item. But be warned! Do not cause destruction to this place, or you'll be punished!"
Seeing this, the other three women were shocked.
Ah Yin, in particular, looked at Dugu Bo in shock.
"You! You dare to claim the possession of God of Contracts as your own?! Do you not know the consequences of this?! If those crazy believers in City of Contracts hear about this, death will be your best choice!"
Dugu Bo turned gloomy. Of course he knew the terrible consequences.
City of Contracts, the city that houses the most powerful and devout believers of God of Contracts. Among them are five level 99 Titled Douluo with Blue Silver Grass martial soul, who are said to have directly received blessings and training from God of Contracts himself.
There are also rumors about God of Contracts' two parents still living in the city of contracts. When they were last seen, they were also level 99 Demi Gods.
Not to mention many others powerful believers. There are even rumors that the Titled Douluo in city of contracts are more than three dozen in number.
This city is not under the control of any empire or forces, and maintains neutrality. It is more of a pilgrimage and doesn't interfere with the matters of empires and big forces. It simply focuses on spreading the faith of God of Contracts throughout the continent.
Even so, not a single force or empire in the continent dares to provoke it.
Is Dugu Bo scared of this city? Of course he is!
But the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is his only hope of survival, and thus he chose to secretly possess it despite the risks.
He had tried to destroy that stone slab before. But unfortunately, it's indestructible durability made him recognize the unsurmountable gap between mortals and gods.
Rayne pointed at the stone slab and said to Dugu Bo.
"You see there! That's the proof that this place belongs to me."
Dugu Bo: "What?"
Dugu Bo had a confused look. So did Ah Yin and Xiao Wu.
Suddenly Ah Yin seemed to realize something, especially the similar, or rather, the same name.
Rayne turned around and smiled.
"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?"
"My name is Rayne Ashburn! You can just call me Rayne!"
