Chapter 265: The Ambush Ends, Dugu Bo Arrives

At this moment, Su Ming coldly stared at Yu Yuanzhen and said sternly, "Clan Leader Yu, since you're using your strength to bully the weak, don't blame me for what happens next."

"Aaaah!"

Everyone turned toward the sound, realizing it came from Yu Tianheng. Su Ming had already released him, but not before breaking all four of his limbs.

Su Ming then turned toward Dugu Yan and the rest of the Heaven Dou Battle Team. "You all won't mind if I cripple your captain, will you?"

The team members remained silent, casting complicated glances at their fallen captain, who was groaning in pain on the ground, and then at Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan shook her head and said, "No, after what's happened today, he's no longer our captain. What captain would put his own teammates in danger?"

Su Ming smirked. "I could tell you used to have feelings for him. What about now?"

Dugu Yan responded, "After what he did, how could I still have feelings for him? Back at the academy, he was the strongest among us of the same age, with a good background. Liking him was natural."

Seeing Su Ming's actions, Yu Yuanzhen roared in fury, "Su Ming, I'll kill you!"

At that moment, Gu Rong, who had been hiding in the shadows, seized the opportunity. As Yu Yuanzhen prepared to strike, Gu Rong used his seventh spirit skill, Bone Dragon True Form, and teleported behind Yu Yuanzhen, launching a devastating dragon claw strike at his back.

Sensing danger, Yu Yuanzhen reacted instinctively, quickly transforming his body partially into a dragon. However, it was too late to fully defend himself, and Gu Rong's attack sent him flying.

Seeing her grandfather, Ning Rongrong's heart soared with relief. "Grandpa Gu! You've been here all along?"

Gu Rong smiled gently at her before coldly watching Yu Yuanzhen's direction.

"Gu Rong! You shameless old man, how dare you ambush me!" Yu Yuanzhen shouted angrily as he flew back, his face twisted with rage.

Gu Rong, unbothered, sneered. "So what? Aren't you even more shameless, bringing the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to ambush a group of children?"

He continued, "Now what? Want to fight me? Just know that if we fight, your men will be wiped out in the crossfire."

As Yu Yuanzhen weighed his options, a figure swiftly approached from the distance. It was an elderly man with white hair and dressed in green—another Title Douluo.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up with excitement. "Grandpa, over here!"

Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened upon recognizing Dugu Bo. With him here, there was no need to hesitate. "We're leaving!" he ordered.

Dugu Bo, relieved to see his granddaughter safe, finally relaxed. He had spent the past few days dealing with a toxin outbreak, suppressing it in the Sunset Forest.

When he returned this morning, he found someone frantically searching for him outside the city. After learning that his granddaughter had urgently sent him a message, he didn't hesitate.

Fortunately, Dugu Yan had paid a hefty price to arrange the message, and Dugu Bo owed a favor to the one who waited for him outside the city.

Reading the note, Dugu Bo discovered that Dugu Yan had learned of the Biphos Snake's martial spirit side effects and mentioned someone who could help cure their poison. Though skeptical—after all, who could be more skilled in poison than him—he hurried to intercept her journey back from Soto City.

Realizing his granddaughter was returning without a supervising teacher and knowing that Su Ming's secret technique had likely been exposed, he became anxious, fearing they'd encounter danger along the way.

By the time Dugu Bo arrived, Yu Yuanzhen and his forces were retreating, leaving only their backs visible. Dugu Bo made a mental note of this for future retribution.

His attention was soon drawn to the enormous blue figure surrounding Su Ming and the others. Shocked by this unfamiliar and powerful technique, Dugu Bo marveled at its brilliance.

Su Ming, exhausted from maintaining Susanoo, finally dismissed it. Though drained, his spiritual power held up just enough.

Dugu Yan quickly approached her grandfather and whispered, "Grandpa, this is Su Ming. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have survived. You should thank him properly. He might also be able to help with our poison issue."

Dugu Bo, having pieced together the situation from his granddaughter's words, understood that Su Ming had saved her. Knowing Gu Rong had his hands full dealing with Yu Yuanzhen, it was clear Su Ming had played a major role in protecting his granddaughter.

Approaching Su Ming, Dugu Bo bowed his head slightly in gratitude. "You must be Su Ming. I've heard all about what you did. Thank you for protecting my granddaughter."

He added solemnly, "I, Dugu Bo, owe you a favor. Should you ever need anything, just ask, and I will not refuse."

Gu Rong joined them, his tone lighthearted. "Oh, so you finally made it, old poison. What took you so long? Didn't want to be any slower?"

Dugu Bo snorted, refusing to bicker with Gu Rong. There was no point fighting someone he couldn't defeat anyway.
