Bang!
His answer was a slap!
Dugu Bo swung his hand heavily, sending Fang Xuan flying sideways.
"Boy, threatening a Titled Douluo is truly an unwise thing to do." Poison Douluo stared coldly at Fang Xuan, sprawled on the ground, his snake-like eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Just as Fang Xuan had expected, trying to fool a shrewd and calculating Titled Douluo was clearly no easy task!
If things went wrong, he might be killed by this eccentric old monster!
Fang Xuan calmly rose from the ground, dusted the dirt off himself, and swept his gaze over Dugu Bo without the slightest panic. "As expected of Poison Douluo, whose poison reigns supreme under heaven. Truly terrifying. Before your Deadly Poison, not only juniors like me, but even Titled Douluo renowned throughout the world would be utterly terrified!"
"Hmph, it's good that you know." Dugu Bo proudly raised his head. Clearly, Fang Xuan's flattery pleased him greatly.
However, before he could bask in it for long, Fang Xuan's next words instantly changed his expression.
"Unfortunately, you have not only poisoned others—you have poisoned yourself as well!" A mocking curve rose on Fang Xuan's lips.
"Brat, what nonsense are you talking about? My poison would poison me? I have roamed the Douluo Continent for decades. I have only ever poisoned others. Who could poison me?!" Dugu Bo's expression instantly turned cold.
Without blinking, Fang Xuan stared at Dugu Bo and spoke calmly and methodically. "Whenever the sky turns overcast or it rains, do your ribs feel numb and itchy? It flares up once at noon and once at midnight, each episode lasting as long as two hours. And during those two hours, the numbness and itching gradually worsen!
"Also, every night around the third watch, your scalp and the soles of your feet suffer needle-like, excruciating pain. Your entire body convulses for half an hour. I doubt I need to describe that agonizing process in any further detail.
"If it isn't poisoning, then why would you suffer these symptoms?!"
"You... how do you know?!"
Even Dugu Bo, cunning and deeply scheming as he was, could not help revealing a shocked expression when Fang Xuan ruthlessly exposed the secret hidden deepest within his heart.
This was his greatest secret. Even his beloved granddaughter did not know it. How had this wet-behind-the-ears brat learned of it?!
Moreover, Fang Xuan's description was flawless, as if he had personally witnessed one of Dugu Bo's attacks.
How could Dugu Bo not be shocked!
"Your poison is nothing but trash..."
Recalling the plot of Douluo, Fang Xuan spoke the most pretentious line Tang San had uttered in his life.
"Boy, watch your words. Otherwise, I would not mind letting you watch your entire body rot and fester before you die. Believe me, that is something this old man can do with a wave of his hand."
Enraged, Dugu Bo erupted with Killing Intent so dense it became tangible. Like a wild beast, it slammed into Fang Xuan's body and forcibly drove him back nine steps.
"Pfft... cough, cough!"
A thread of bright blood seeped from Fang Xuan's lips. He plunged his long blade into the ground and activated the power of ice to dispel that terrifying Fierce Aura.
"Heh heh, the boy really does have some skill. Even a Soul Elder would have struggled to withstand that just now. Yet you, a Soul Grandmaster barely above level twenty, actually managed to resist my Killing Intent. Interesting!"
Dugu Bo first nodded, then gave a sinister smile. "However, since you have angered this old man, you still have to die!"
"Hehe, it does not matter if I die. Even if an old fossil like you, already seventy or eighty years old, dies, it does not matter either. But... tsk tsk, what a pity!" Fang Xuan muttered meaningfully.
"What is a pity?!" Dugu Bo furrowed his brows, unable to tell what scheme this little bastard was plotting again.
"It is a pity that your young and beautiful granddaughter probably will not last much longer!" Fang Xuan stared coldly at Dugu Bo.
"Bastard! What did you say?!"
Dugu Bo flew into a rage. He suddenly raised his right hand, and a powerful suction force erupted from his palm, dragging Fang Xuan from ten meters away straight into his grasp.
He seized Fang Xuan by the throat and glared at him with murderous intent.
Having gradually found Dugu Bo's weak spot, Fang Xuan felt no fear at all. He said calmly, "Let me tell you the truth. Not only are you poisoned, but the poison has already seeped into your bones and marrow. If you do not treat it soon, you probably will not have many years left to live!
"And more importantly, your granddaughter, Dugu Yan. She probably cannot hold on as long as you have. First, she is far too weak. Second, the poison in her runs too deep, because she was afflicted by it in her mother's womb. When it erupts, it will definitely be even more violent and painful than yours. I dare say that if this drags on for another two years, Dugu Yan will undoubtedly die!"
Dugu Bo shuddered all over. His expression gradually twisted, and his eyes filled with pain. He understood the terrifying agony of a Deadly Poison outbreak. Even he, a Titled Douluo, could barely endure it. How could his delicate granddaughter possibly bear it?!
In this world, the person Dugu Bo loved most was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. He had already lived to such an old age; even if he only had a few years left, it did not matter.
But he absolutely could not stand by and watch Dugu Yan walk his path of no return, meeting the same fate of dying when her poison erupted.
"Heh heh, old monster, do not make such a terrifying expression..."
As Dugu Bo struggled in pain, Fang Xuan gradually revealed a mysterious smile. Staring intently at Dugu Bo, he said seriously, "Your poison is not without a cure..."
"What?! Boy, you have a way to cure the poison in my body?!"
Suddenly, Dugu Bo grabbed Fang Xuan's shoulders with all his strength. He stared at him in wild joy and wary suspicion, both excited and doubtful of whether his words were true.
"Of course!!"
Fang Xuan smiled proudly, knowing that Dugu Bo had taken the bait.
If I did not have a solution, why would I have talked nonsense to you for so long?!
Do you think I'm Huang Shaotian?!
After grumbling inwardly, Fang Xuan's lips curled into a smug arc.
As long as he followed Tang San's safe route, Dugu Bo standing before him would no longer be that terrifying Poison Douluo, but a massive surprise gift pack:
Dragon-Slaying Saber! Paralysis Ring! Max-Level Level Up Card! Xixi Cheat! Seven-Colored Abyss Pillar! Great Dragon BUFF!
