Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Earth Rank Dou Technique Showdown!

"Miteer Family? What a coincidence. I have a good relationship with Miss Ya Fei from the Miteer Family," Yun Tianming replied seriously.

"Hmph! I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense!" Hai Bo Dong retorted.

"This mysterious map was obtained through great effort and hardship. Although I can't fully understand its secrets yet, I know there must be huge secrets hidden within it."

Hai Bo Dong grunted heavily, "Last warning. Hand over the map, or die!"

His released Dou Qi soared steadily until it reached 5-Star Dou Spirit. Suddenly, a powerful pink-purple Dou Qi surged from within his body. A faint snake-like pattern appeared on his neck, firmly locking his Dou Qi at the Dou Spirit stage, unable to progress further.

'Damn it! This cursed seal!'

Yun Tianming, seeing the situation, knew exactly what was happening. A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth. "I suggest you don't bluff, Hai Bo Dong. It only exposes your weakness."

"Arrogant!"

"Even if my strength has declined, I can still handle a 1-Star Dou Grandmaster like you!"

Hai Bo Dong summoned an icy halberd, his figure turning into an afterimage as he swiftly charged towards Yun Tianming. Yun Tianming infused his weapon with emerald green Dou Qi and met the opponent head-on.

"Clang!"

Hai Bo Dong furrowed his brow, thinking to himself, 'This Wood Attribute Dou Qi's strength is comparable to that of a 9-Star Dou Grandmaster? It seems this kid's Qi Method cultivation is not low!'

"Deep Forest Assassination!"

Yun Tianming clenched his fist, causing numerous wooden spikes to grow from his staff and thrust towards Hai Bo Dong.

"Condensed Ice Mirror!"

Hai Bo Dong struck out with his left palm, creating a high-intensity frost shield that also had the effect of rebounding physical damage.

Crack, crack, crack!

The wooden spikes were shattered, and the tremendous recoil sent Yun Tianming flying backward, followed by sharp ice spikes. Yun Tianming spun his staff to shatter the incoming ice spikes one by one, but soon his hand felt a chill, and his weapon was frozen. He decisively abandoned the frozen staff and retrieved a long sword obtained from killing a 4th-rank Alchemist from his Spatial Ring.

"Fire Barrier!"

The long sword drew an arc, forming a flame barrier in front of him. The scorching flames evaporated all the nearby ice spikes.

"A Fire Attribute Dou Technique?"

"You actually possess both Wood and Fire attributes?"

Hai Bo Dong was suddenly amazed. On the Dou Qi Continent, the vast majority of cultivators only had one attribute, and those with two were extremely rare. If one happened to have the Wood and Fire attributes, they could become respected Alchemists.

"Good lad, it seems I underestimated you."

"But since you know my true name, then you should understand the meaning of the title Ice Emperor!"

Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong, one of the top ten experts in the Jia Ma Empire, known for his aloof and arrogant nature. Once, in a fit of anger, he froze an entire city. However, in the face of Hai Bo Dong's threatening words, Yun Tianming remained unmoved, calmly saying, "Old Hai, use whatever skills you have. If I don't defeat you today, this matter won't end."

Yun Tianming raised his long sword high, and the fiery energy between heaven and earth began to converge frantically.

"This Dou Technique..."

Hai Bo Dong's face changed, instinctively urging the icy Dou Qi in his body to its maximum, summoning a surging snowstorm!

"Mysterious Ice Dance!"

Black Rank High-Level Dou Technique!

Facing the incoming snowstorm, Yun Tianming held his long sword, and pillars of blazing flames rose into the sky, forming countless flame sword qi that shot down like a torrential rain!

"Raging Fire Sword Rain!"

Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique!

In an instant, the surroundings turned into a terrifying purgatory of ice and fire.

Affected by the clash of Dou Techniques, the Ancient Map Shop behind them collapsed and was destroyed on the spot. However, at this moment, Hai Bo Dong paid no attention to the condition of his own shop being destroyed, exerting all his Dou Qi to maintain the snowstorm.

Similarly, Yun Tianming was not willing to show weakness. The Nourishing Divine Wood Qi Method in his body ran at an accelerated rate, continuously outputting Dou Qi to sustain the output of Raging Fire Sword Rain.

The two of them did not give in, continuously outputting Dou Qi to sustain their Dou Techniques in a fierce contest!

After about five minutes, at the center of the ice and fire entanglement, the energy became overly saturated, ultimately triggering a massive explosion!

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion.

Hai Bo Dong was hit by the intense flames, and Yun Tianming was blown away by the snowstorm.

"Cough~"

A trace of blood spilled from Hai Bo Dong's mouth, but he endured the pain in his body, stepping forward to attack the airborne Yun Tianming.

However, at this moment, a set of dark feather wings unfolded behind Yun Tianming, swiftly flying to evade Hai Bo Dong's attack.

"Dou Qi Wings? How is this possible!"

Hai Bo Dong's eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with incredulity.

"No, this aura... Could it be the legendary Flying Dou Technique?"

"This kid is full of treasures!"

Hai Bo Dong, whose strength was sealed and unable to use Dou Qi Wings, had greatly reduced aerial maneuverability.

"Swoosh~"

The dark feather wings flashed, their sharp wings brushing past Hai Bo Dong, leaving a fresh red gash!

"Swoosh~"

"Swoosh~"

"Swoosh~"

The dark feather wings flew swiftly, each pass by Hai Bo Dong's side splattering blood, leaving him covered in wounds.

"Cough cough~ I never expected that today, I would be pushed to the brink by a young junior."

Hai Bo Dong, with blood in his mouth, became weary. Sealed for over a decade, not only had his Dou Qi strength declined, but his body's functions had also withered, giving him an aging appearance.

"Hai Bo Dong, there's no need to feel ashamed. I am not an ordinary person; losing to me is not disgraceful."

Yun Tianming stopped his Flying Dou Technique attack with a flutter of his dark feather wings. With the advantage of an Earth Rank Qi Method + Earth Rank Dou Technique, he was able to bridge the power gap between Dou Grandmaster and Dou Spirit!

"I haven't admitted defeat yet!"

Hai Bo Dong shouted angrily, using up the last remnants of his Dou Qi and channeling all of it into creating a massive ice dragon by condensing the moisture in the atmosphere.

"Mysterious Ice Dragon!"

This was Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong's self-created Black Rank High-level Dou Technique, also his signature move with power rivaling an Earth Rank Dou Technique!

In his prime, Hai Bo Dong could summon five ice dragons simultaneously. Now, with his strength greatly diminished, he could barely summon one ice dragon.

"Don't push yourself too hard, Hai Bo Dong."

"With your current physical condition, overusing Dou Qi could shorten your lifespan."

Yun Tianming looked calmly at the surging ice dragon in front of him.

"Hmph! Wait until you take this move from me!"

Hai Bo Dong's face turned pale. He clenched his trembling hands tightly and forcibly drove the ice dragon toward Yun Tianming.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~"

Yun Tianming flapped his dark feather wings, flying up, down, left, and right to dodge the ice dragon's attacks. At the same time, he took a deep breath, held his breath, clenched his fists, and gathered a large amount of Dou Qi above his chest.

Above Yun Tianming's head, an illusionary lion shape appeared, accompanied by forms of various wild beasts like jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, and bears.

As Yun Tianming opened his mouth, a thunderous roar of a hundred beasts erupted, unleashing deafening sonic waves!

"Roar of a Hundred Beasts!"
