Sun Eclipse, Pure Poison!

Luo Li did not possess Tang San's memories, nor did he know how to refine any antidotes.

Nor did he intend to use some temporary method of forcing the poison into the soul bones.

He had his own methods.

Luo Li raised a hand.

Brilliant golden warm light flickered in his palm.

A longsword appeared in his hand.

The blade was a soft, nearly translucent pale gold, like the radiance cast when the rising sun pierced through thin clouds.

Pure life energy, like liquid sunlight, flowed within it. Its glow was warm and gentle, never harsh on the eyes.

The blade's lines were smooth and elegant, its surface polished like a mirror.

At the crossguard, an exquisitely carved sun disk stood vividly embossed.

The Sun Eclipse Sword!

The other sword of Luo Li's twin-sword martial soul!

At the sight of this familiar sword, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted.

This was the very sword Luo Li had used when the two of them fought that day!

The golden sword scar outside Heaven Dou City, revered by countless Sword Cultivators, had also been left by this sword.

Moon Devourer represented the yin aspect of the twin swords, while the Sun Eclipse Sword represented their supremely yang aspect.

Its power was blazing and sacred, born of the fierce sun in the heavens—the nemesis of all poison, delusion, and evil.

In terms of cultivation, Luo Li, a Soul Douluo, was not truly far behind Dugu Bo, who stood near the bottom among Titled Douluo.

Indeed, Luo Li likely far surpassed him in total Soul Power.

For him, using the ultimate sacred power within the Sun Eclipse Sword to purify the accumulated Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison in Dugu Bo's body was not difficult.

So long as he controlled the degree properly and helped establish a cyclical training pathway, it would not affect Dugu Bo's Poisonous cultivation.

Seeing the dazzling sword wreathed in flowing golden light, Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly shrank.

He recalled that battle.

The Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison he had been so proud of had been utterly helpless before that scorching, dazzling sacred sword radiance!

The fearsome Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor had melted away like ice and snow upon touching that brilliant sword light, radiant as the blazing sun, without even the slightest ability to resist!

Standing atop the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor's head, he could only watch as that holy sword of heaven fell like a mountain.

It pinned both him and his martial soul helplessly to the ground, while scales scattered in every direction like leaves torn from forest trees by a storm.

He seemed to understand the method Luo Li had mentioned.

"My martial soul, the Sun Eclipse Sword, contains the sacred radiance of the blazing sun—the most righteous power between heaven and earth."

"I presume I need not explain its restraining effect on the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison. Poison Douluo should know it well enough."

Dugu Bo nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Being beaten down by a Soul Saint junior was hardly something to be proud of.

But compared to that, there was something else Dugu Bo cared about far more.

"King Frost Extreme's power is indeed extraordinary. Could it be that you intend to..."

Dugu Bo's voice trembled.

Though he was a figure at the level of a Titled Douluo, he was completely unable to control his emotions at this moment.

"That's right. I believe I may be able to purify the poison within your bodies through this method."

"Though it has never been proven, the theoretical possibility is high."

"Is Poison Douluo willing to give it a try?"

Luo Li did not overstate things.

Though he believed there should be no problem, he had never attempted it before.

Luo Li had never liked to speak too confidently about matters he was not completely certain of.

"Of course!" Dugu Bo agreed immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

Over the years, he had already made far too many efforts for this.

He had traveled across the continent, yet never found even the slightest clue.

He had exhausted every means and had even begun to despair.

Now, a sliver of hope had appeared before him.

Dugu Bo was like a drowning man struggling in the water, on the verge of losing strength, suddenly catching sight of driftwood.

How could he possibly give up?

"I ask that you take action, my lord!"

"No, not now." Luo Li shook his head slightly.

"This is no suitable place."

Luo Li could not be certain what would happen if he helped Dugu Bo in this way.

If a large-scale outbreak of toxins occurred, it would be troublesome.

While treating him, Luo Li might not be able to spare a hand to contain the toxic outbreak.

At most, he would only be able to protect some of the people.

They were currently in Heaven Dou City. If such a situation arose, it would inevitably lead to devastation and countless deaths!

Luo Li's Moon Devourer Sword grew stronger by absorbing life force, but he had never deliberately caused large-scale slaughter of innocents.

If he did, how would he be any different from those evil Soul Masters whom everyone cursed, like rats crossing the street?

Everything he did followed the desires of his heart.

For nothing else but peace of mind.

"Indeed, indeed!"

"This old man was too rash."

Coming back to his senses, Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly.

"How about this? My Herb Garden would be suitable."

"Fine." Luo Li nodded.

He needed to make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well anyway, to bring back some Immortal Herbs.

Unable to wait any longer, Dugu Bo abruptly rose to his feet and prepared to leave.

Though Luo Li understood his urgency, he still shook his head helplessly.

After leaving the teahouse and arriving outside Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo transformed into a streak of green light and shot into the sky.

This old man was leaving without even caring about his granddaughter?

Luo Li sighed inwardly and raised a hand slightly. Two longswords flew out from his sleeve.

The swords rapidly enlarged before their eyes and hovered in the air.

Since he clearly had two swords, Luo Li disdained taking advantage by bringing out only one and riding it together.

"Miss Dugu, come up."

Stepping onto the Sun Eclipse Sword, he turned and spoke to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan nodded slightly.

However, it was her first time traveling this way, so her movements were rather cautious.

She gently placed a hand on the icy blade of the Moon Devourer Sword, borrowed its support to leap up, and sat sideways atop the sword.

Luo Li had deliberately disabled the Moon Devourer Sword's properties. Otherwise, given Dugu Yan's cultivation, the moment she touched its blade, her life force would likely wither away in an instant.

Soul Power formed a simple protective barrier, preventing Dugu Yan from losing her balance in the rushing air during high-speed flight.

"Dean Luo, I'm ready," Dugu Yan said softly.

"Mm." Luo Li nodded faintly. With a thought, the Sun Eclipse Sword beneath his feet and the Moon Devourer Sword beneath Dugu Yan rose into the sky.

The sudden sensation of soaring upward made Dugu Yan cry out instinctively.

Yet in the blink of an eye, the two had already reached an altitude of a thousand meters.

Everything below became tiny, like minuscule grains of sand in a desert.

But the Soul Power barrier around her eased her nervousness somewhat.

It was not as though Dugu Yan had never flown before.

Although she lacked the ability to fly, she had a grandfather at the level of a Titled Douluo.

Still, this was her first experience with sword flight.

It was an entirely different sensation.

Like streams of light, the swords streaked across the heavens.

When Dugu Bo, who was flying with Soul Power, saw the two streaks of sword light pass overhead and race away, even his flight faltered for a moment.

He was carrying someone and was still faster than a Titled Douluo like him?

This truly made an old senior like him feel utterly ashamed...

With a bitter smile, Dugu Bo raised his Soul Power once more and gave chase.

He was an old senior, after all. He could not fall too far behind.

A short while later, The Soul Power within Dugu Bo quietly settled.

Looking at the two people who had already vanished from sight, he silently chose to give up.

He was tired. So be it if he lost face—after all, it was not the first time.
