Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 164 Heavenly Rank Battle TechniquesThe most conspicuous features of this massive great hall were the dozen or so Puppets atop the stone platform, and the Dou Sheng skeleton behind them.

The Puppets stood there, motionless, yet they exuded an imposing aura. No one dared to break in to examine that Dou Sheng skeleton.

The current situation was like many moths watching the flames from the outside; they felt fear in their hearts and didn’t dare to move, yet they thought themselves clever, waiting for the first ’suicide squad’ to step forward.

After all, there was a Seal visible to the naked eye of the experts on that stone platform. They suspected this was a Seal set by the Dou Sheng to protect his own skeleton. Without a doubt, it had to be incredibly strong!

Gu He gave a light smile, the corners of his lips curling upward.

He placed his hand on his waist, and a beautiful waistband suddenly appeared there.

He gave Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian a look, then with a smile, he bypassed the motionless Puppets and stepped onto the stone platform.

He was completely fine!

Everyone else was stunned: Was it really that simple and easy?

No attack, not even a defense?

“This is a Dou Sheng’s remains! Is he the son of the ruin’s master or something?”

“Holy crap, that’s impressive! I remember at the entrance, this guy was exceptionally smart, waiting for others to test the path before leisurely entering. Now he’s gone straight across, which means the Seal up there probably isn’t much!”

“Could it be... the Seal has expired!?”

The words of this last person gained the approval of the majority.

None of them saw that when Gu He stepped onto the stone platform, the tiny gems on his beautiful blue waistband flickered, emitting a faint glow like the tail of a firefly.

Gu He had used this reward issued by the System—a waistband that could withstand the power of Dou Sheng techniques countless times—combined with his high-intensity Physical Body and Dou Qi to break through the Seal.

Currently, as long as no one took the initiative to attack him, he was equivalent to a Dou Sheng Expert.

Furthermore, should anything unusual happen, he would summon his trump card, his Heavenly Flame, the ’Cloud-Breaking Ember’.

And at this moment,

Excitement appeared in the eyes of many experts. Flames ignited within their black pupils like predators.

Next, a blue figure and a teal figure attempted to fly onto the stone platform.

There wasn’t just a Dou Sheng skeleton up there; there was also a Heaven Rank Dou Skill!! How could they let a black-robed man they’d never seen before seize a Heaven Rank Dou Skill??

On the platform, a golden light flickered faintly. Gu He grabbed the light source, his flame coating his fingers to provide a layer of protection. Immediately after, the scroll within the light cluster appeared bare in his hand!

Heaven Rank Dou Skill, Seal broken!

The Low-Level Heaven Rank Dou Skill, Great Creation Palm, fell into Gu He’s hands.

The Dou Sheng pressure attached to that Dou Skill scroll struck directly at Gu He like a waterfall from above, but it was blocked one by one by the azure waistband he wore, and a portion was even absorbed by it.

The waistband emitted a faint light.

At that moment, those experts who had flown and pounced forward, despite being shrouded in Dou Qi, were instantly turned into a bloody mist the moment they touched the Dou Sheng-level protective barrier of the Seal.

The crowd was instantly dumbfounded.

Why could Gu He walk into the Seal unscathed and obtain the Heaven Rank Dou Skill?? This was unfair!

And those who had turned into bloody mist never understood why, even in death.

The others looked at the mist of blood that almost filled the air. Although their Dou Qi protected their bodies and kept the blood mist from staining them, the deaths of experts of the same Rank still caused cowardice to bloom in most people’s hearts.

Yet they were still unwilling to let go.

This was a Heaven Rank Dou Skill! Even in a place like the Central Plains, where winds and clouds surged and there were many treasures, a Heaven Rank Dou Skill appearing right before one’s eyes was a rare occurrence.

Unwilling to give up, the crowd swarmed forward. So what if they couldn’t go in? They could stop Gu He! Then they could snatch the Dou Skill away.

To this end, they were even willing to form a brief alliance.

“Leave the Heaven Rank Dou Skill, and we will let you go! Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving this ruin!!”

“Even if you leave, I will chase you to the ends of the earth!”

“We have so many Dou Zuns and Dou Zongs here, you’d better be sensible!!”

If Gu He were a Dou Sheng, they wouldn’t dare to stop him. But after their combined probe of Gu He’s aura, they guessed he was around a Five-Star Dou Zun.

What was there to fear! There were so many of them!

Of course, some people noticed something unusual; a few had seen the Heavenly Flame covering Gu He’s hand on the stone platform.

This indicated that Gu He was an Alchemist, and his Soul Power was definitely not ordinary.

That flame emitted specks of golden light and did not look like an ordinary Beast Fire.

This segment of keen-eyed individuals had already retreated from the main hall, intending to look for treasures and opportunities elsewhere.

After all, who liked to get into trouble for no reason?

Most of the remaining experts surrounded Gu He. To an outsider, the scene looked as if a group of johns had encountered a very attractive courtesan.

Their greed and desire were terrifying!

A Two-Star Dou Zun spoke up: “I don’t know what secret method you used to enter and exit the Seal safely, but as long as you hand over the Dou Skill, we will spare your life.”

“Daring to barge into a Secret Realm alone, you’re courting death!”

He looked askance at Gu He, his eyes filled with a hint of disdain.

However, in the next second, Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin stood beside Gu He.

A cold sneer curled on Yun Yun’s lips, like a frigid wind sweeping through, or a snow lotus blooming: “You still have us to deal with.”

In the next moment, she and Xiao Yi Xian worked together, launching two moves towards the man in purple.

“Boom—”

Poisonous rain corroded and solidified his Dou Qi, while a wind sword, sharp as a blade and bright as light, pierced straight toward his heart and vital points.

Gu He was worried they couldn’t handle it, and the flame on his finger was just about to shoot out when the purple-robed man with the disdainful gaze clutched his chest and crashed to the ground.

Gu He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Yun Yun moved closer to Gu He and said indifferently, “I haven’t been idle either. This move is something Xian’er and I researched together.”

“She Seals the lifelines, and I strike the heart.”

“We call this move: Enshrined Poison.”

Gu He observed for a moment; that purple-robed man’s face was indeed a greenish-purple, his eyes were rolled back, and his skin color was changing with time, looking almost like his clothes.

“Very impressive!” Gu He praised without hesitation.

Qing Lin had also summoned her strongest contracted snake beast. She knew her abilities were small, but whether she showed them or not was another matter.

She wanted Lord Gu He to know that she was getting stronger! She also wanted to protect Lord Gu He, just as Gu He protected her!

Thump!!

The others in the hall only felt their hearts leap violently, as if they too were heavily poisoned like the purple-robed man, dying in an instant with their eyes wide open.

“You... you all...!”

Does an exchange between true experts require many rounds? It does not! A true expert can crush an opponent in an instant, even across Ranks!

This was exactly the shock they felt in their hearts right now!

Not only was this black-robed man strong himself, but the teammates he brought were each extraordinary!
