Dugu Bo's Choice

The sky was getting dark.

Dugu Bo slowly woke up from his coma.

"Grandpa, Grandpa!"

"You're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

Su Mu heard Dugu Yan's shouts from inside the cave and stood up.

Ling Yuan, who was originally sitting with Su Mu, made a move to get up as well.

Su Mu raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, gently shaking his head.

That old guy inside, covered in poison, is probably terrified right now.

If a Titled Douluo were to appear now, and that guy were to pull out a poison pill, my hand might tremble.

That would be a losing proposition.

Upon entering the cave, Dugu Bo, supported by Dugu Yan, had already sat up.

Upon seeing Su Mu, Dugu Bo quickly raised his hand to protect Dugu Yan behind him, watching him warily.

"Didn't you tell your grandfather?"

Seeing this, Su Mu looked at Dugu Yan and said.

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Dugu Bo glanced slightly at Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan met his questioning gaze and nodded slightly.

"So it's someone Yanyan knows."

"Excuse me."

Dugu Bo lowered his raised arm and revealed a kind smile.

He looked at Su Mu and said.

Su Mu didn't pay any attention.

I continued walking forward, wanting to see how badly this guy was injured.

Just then, a green wisp flew out from Dugu Bo's body.

They went straight for Su Mu's face.

Su Mu reacted quickly, and a layer of black dragon scales enveloped his palm.

He slapped the green thing with his palm.

"Smack!"

The green hue was slapped to the ground by Su Mu.

After twisting a few times, it stopped moving.

Su Mu looked at the small, emerald-green snake on the ground with a hint of regret.

Then Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade appeared in his hand, and he plunged it into the Nine-Section Jade corpse twice more.

"Senior Dugu, I'm sorry."

"I've been afraid of this thing since I was a child."

After doing all this, Su Mu looked up at Dugu Bo apologetically.

Dugu Bo laughed when he saw this.

"It's alright! These are all the things I have in this valley."

"It's good that I didn't scare you!"

Dugu Yan glared angrily at Su Mu, unaware of her grandfather's fondness for the Nine-Section Jade.

"Young man, I'm sorry, my granddaughter is like this."

"Yanyan, stop fooling around!"

"Why do you still act like you've never grown up!"

After Dugu Bo finished speaking with a smile, he turned around and began to reprimand Dugu Yan with a stern face.

Dugu Bo had only one thought in his mind: this young man in front of him was very dangerous, extremely dangerous.

"Alright, Senior Dugu."

"Stop acting."

"If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't survive."

"That Black-Robed Monster is dead. I wasn't with him."

Su Mu didn't want to continue this endless, rambling, and probing exchange with the old man.

He said it directly.

Hearing Su Mu's words, Dugu Bo smiled.

Then the smile on his face disappeared.

He spat out a green bead from his mouth.

"Young man."

"Yanyan has already told me everything."

"This is my natal poison pill."

"I don't care what you want? If you dare to hurt her..."

"Let's die together."

Dugu Bo held the green bead tightly in his hand and looked at Su Mu, saying...

I just woke up and heard Dugu Yan talk about a person's Soul Rings: four black and three red.

He simply didn't believe it.

Moreover, the Soul Saint killing Titled Douluo sounds like a fantasy.

However, when he actually faced Su Mu, Dugu Bo felt no fighting spirit whatsoever.

Even if he weren't seriously injured right now.

Even at their peak, they couldn't gain any advantage.

You'd better keep this thing safe!

"Don't let your hands shake!"

Seeing Dugu Bo's actions, Su Mu quickly tried to dissuade him.

It's not that I'm afraid of poison; I'm currently enveloped in a fragrant silk robe.

It's such a pity that someone we managed to save died like this.

Just then...

Dugu Bo coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His complexion, which had been somewhat normal, was now ashen, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Su Mu quickly went forward to check on the situation.

What's wrong with my grandfather?

"Wasn't everything fine just now?"

"Please save my grandfather, I beg you."

Dugu Yan was at a loss, her expression bewildered, and she grabbed Su Mu's hand pleadingly.

Su Mu ignored Dugu Yan.

He understood the reason for Dugu Bo's current situation.

Originally, the poison in Dugu Bo's body was suppressed by his Soul Power.

The previous serious injury, coupled with the current weakness.

He could no longer suppress it.

If the poison hadn't originated from his Martial Soul, he probably would have poisoned himself to death long ago.

The only solution right now is to use Soul Power to help him suppress it.

"Senior, I'll use my Soul Power to help you suppress it now."

"Once you've recovered a bit, I have something to tell you."

After speaking, Su Mu began to slowly transfer his Soul Power into Dugu Bo's body.

With the intervention of Su Mu's Soul Power.

Dugu Bo's complexion gradually improved.

"Okay. Thank you!"

About half an hour later, Dugu Bo exhaled and looked at Su Mu with a complicated expression.

He hadn't thought much about the meaning behind Su Mu's words because he wasn't feeling well earlier.

He only recovered after the poison in his body was suppressed.

The young man in front of me knew that he had poison in his body.

"If you hadn't been injured, the poison in your body could have been suppressed, and you could have lived for a few more years."

"But now, I'm afraid you only have a few years left to live."

Your granddaughter's situation isn't much better than yours.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had recovered somewhat, Su Mu didn't waste any time and spoke directly.

After hearing Su Mu's words.

Dugu Bo remained silent.

Dugu Yan, standing to the side, looked at Dugu Bo with a questioning gaze.

Dugu Bo nodded slightly at her.

"But I have a way."

"It can protect you and your granddaughter from the poison of the Blue-Scale Snake Emperor."

Hearing Su Mu's words.

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with eyes full of guilt.

He had long suspected that his son's death might be related to his Martial Soul.

I just never wanted to believe it.

Now that someone has pointed it out, his last hope has been dashed.

His son, granddaughter, and he himself all died because of his Martial Soul.

"If you can save my granddaughter, my life is yours from now on."

"If you can."

Dugu Bo seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Su Mu carried a hint of pleading.

"Good!"

That's exactly what Su Mu was waiting for.

"There are only two ways to save you now."

As he spoke, Divine-Grade Delicate Silk Immortal appeared in Su Mu's hand.

"I don't know if this herb is effective against your poisons."

"If you choose this method, even if this herb is useless, I have other herbs."

"We can definitely neutralize the venom of your Blue-Scale Snake Emperor."

"But the price is that your Soul Power will disappear along with the poison."

"I can no longer continue cultivating."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both masters of poison.

After the Divine-Grade Delicate Silk Immortal appeared in Su Mu's hand, they sensed that the residual poison gas around them had disappeared.

Su Mu didn't rush to suggest the second method.

Looking at the silent Dugu Bo.

After a long pause, Dugu Bo raised his head and asked, "What about the second method?"

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Su Mu smiled.

They put away this Divine-Grade Delicate Silk Immortal plant.
