Su Xiao flashed forward, placing himself between Dugu Bo's attack and the charging black shadow.
Roar—
A familiar cry rang out behind Su Xiao.
It was Xiao Bai. It had come to save him.
Though Su Xiao was moved, Dugu Bo's attack was right before him. If he did not react, he would very likely be seriously injured.
Dragon God Claw
Su Xiao swung his left hand, and the friction against the air actually produced a dragon's roar.
A faint, pale golden dragon claw directly shattered Dugu Bo's attack, and the remaining force ebbed away like receding tides.
The ancient trees around them crashed down, while the remaining clearing took the shape of a massive dragon claw.
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes as he studied Su Xiao. Although the Dragon God Claw Su Xiao had just used could not threaten him, the aura contained within it had actually startled him, a Titled Douluo.
It seemed that the Dragon God Claw concealed a pressure. If Su Xiao could release it, Dugu Bo would have no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy.
Could it be an aftereffect of Rule the World?
"Xiao Bai, sorry for making you worry. Aren't I fine?" Su Xiao said soothingly, stroking Xiao Bai.
"I saw this dragon at the Education Committee. Is it something you raised, Su Xiao?" Dugu Bo asked.
Su Xiao nodded. "But Xiao Bai isn't a pet. He's my partner. In my heart, he holds the same place as Xiao San."
Dugu Bo scoffed at Su Xiao's words. "Take it back to the Herb Garden. Don't let it eat whatever it wants. If it gets poisoned to death, I won't be able to do anything about it."
"Old Poison, you should worry about yourself first," Su Xiao retorted. "Xiao San can cure the poison in you and Dugu Yan. Don't forget the three conditions you promised us."
"We'll talk when I see Tang San."
Su Xiao brought Xiao Bai and Dugu Bo back to the Herb Garden, where they happened to see Tang San emerging from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Old Poison, look. Xiao San is already fine. Hand over your Herb Garden to us, and we guarantee Dugu Yan will live to a ripe old age," Su Xiao said arrogantly.
Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill through his body once, then looked at Dugu Bo with confidence.
Dugu Bo refused. "Arrogant. You want to lay claim to my Herb Garden? Dream on!"
Su Xiao and Tang San exchanged a smile. Now it was Tang San's turn to provoke Dugu Bo.
"Old Poison, your attainments in poison are far too lacking. Giving this Herb Garden to you would be a waste. Why don't we make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?" Dugu Bo took the bait.
"Three chances. As long as your poison doesn't knock me down, we'll share this Herb Garden from now on," Tang San said.
After a brief consideration, Dugu Bo said, "I agree. If you lose, Su Xiao will undo Rule the World."
As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo felt an urge to submit, along with a sense of helplessness, every time he saw Su Xiao. It made him extremely unhappy.
The corners of Su Xiao's lips curved up slightly. "Old Poison, I can't undo Rule the World. How about this? If Xiao San loses, he'll serve you as a slave for thirty years."
Tang San gave a helpless smile. "A Xiao, you really are a great brother."
Su Xiao slung an arm around Tang San's shoulder and said without restraint, "Old Poison can't beat you anyway."
"That's true."
Dugu Bo's expression darkened. He had earned his title through poison, yet now two twelve-year-old boys were mocking him like this—and worse, they had him completely figured out.
"Enough nonsense. I don't need that many poisons to deal with you!"
Poisonous Corrosive Foul Witch Snake
A gigantic purple serpent formed from poison lunged toward Tang San.
Tang San merely took a slight step back, and a pale pink barrier formed before him, instantly blocking off the Corrosive Foul Witch Snake.
Dugu Bo's first poison was broken.
"Old Poison, you only have two chances left," Su Xiao said sarcastically from the side.
Both Su Xiao and Tang San wore wicked smiles. The reason Dugu Bo's poison had been so easily neutralized was because an Aromatic Silk Beauty stood behind Tang San.
Although the Aromatic Silk Beauty could not cure poison, it could block all poisonous gases within ten steps.
Dugu Bo snorted unwillingly. A small emerald-green snake crawled out from his sleeve, its scarlet tongue flicking as it looked exceptionally sinister.
"One bite from it, and you'll bleed." Dugu Bo commanded the little snake to crawl toward Tang San.
Tang San recognized it at a glance. This was the finest among Bamboo Leaf Greens, the Nine-Section Jadeite. Its poison was incredibly potent. Once it entered the bloodstream, even the Aromatic Silk Beauty could not block it.
"What, don't dare?" Dugu Bo asked mockingly.
Tang San shook his head. "If I'm fine after it bites me, then you'll give it to me!"
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth in fury, thinking, How could the mighty Clear Sky have raised such a bandit for a son?
The Nine-Section Jadeite opened its venomous fangs and bit into Tang San's veins. Blood immediately began to flow.
The blackish-purple color of poisoning had barely appeared on Tang San's arm before it vanished, while the Nine-Section Jadeite dizzily collapsed into Tang San's hand.
"How is that possible?" Dugu Bo's jaw nearly dropped.
Tang San looked at the Nine-Section Jadeite, then glanced at Xiao Bai. "From now on, I'll call you Xiao Qing."
Dugu Bo was hopping mad. He had never imagined that the Nine-Section Jadeite he had painstakingly raised would be taken away by Tang San just like that. Tang San had even given it a name.
"Old Poison, you have one last chance. You'd better make good use of it," Su Xiao said as he watched the show.
Dugu Bo gradually calmed down. "Tang San, I'm warning you. Even I can't control the poison I'm using next. It's not too late to regret this. Those three conditions still stand."
Faced with Dugu Bo's threats and inducements, Tang San had yet to consider his answer when Su Xiao cut in first.
"Old Poison, all you have left is the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison. Hurry up."
Dugu Bo was mocked by Su Xiao once again. He could not take it anymore and directly sent the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison into Tang San's heart.
The poisonous energy instantly entered his heart. Tang San immediately sat cross-legged and released his Soul Power to begin neutralizing the poison.
Dugu Bo was also somewhat worried now. The Jade Scale Serpent Emperor Poison had plagued him for decades. For Tang San to try to cure it was no different from seeking death.
If Tang San really dies...
Su Xiao should be a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Tang San is merely one of his disciples' descendants.
But if Tang San really is Tang Hao's son, then I can only flee with Yan Yan.
Is it really necessary to take those few people's words seriously?
At that moment, Su Xiao saw Dugu Bo's complicated expression and guessed that he was most likely wary of Xiao San's identity.
My Uncle Hao? He was the badass who smashed the Pope to death with a single hammer!
Su Xiao walked to Dugu Bo's side and whispered furtively, "Old Poison, you don't need to be afraid. Xiao San will soon cure your poison. My Uncle Hao won't come looking for trouble with you."
"Heh. Do you think I'd believe you?"
"Keep your voice down. Xiao San still doesn't know. You know Xiao San's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, but what if he has Twin Martial Souls?"
Dugu Bo was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
At the same time, the Tang San who was neutralizing the poison summoned martial souls in both hands. In his left hand was unmistakably the strongest assault-type weapon martial soul in the world.
Clear Sky Hammer!
"He really is Tang Hao's son."
