Dugu Bo's Killing Intent Rises Again, Yu Mingfei Threatens to Destroy His Soul Bone

Although his grand escape plan had been disrupted.

His Soul Power had surged again. First, he had absorbed the nearly seven-hundred-year Crimson Flame Beast soul ring; then, he had converted all of Dugu Yan's poison into Soul Power. At the same time, the energy in the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone had yet to be fully drained and could continue to fuse with him.

Yu Mingfei's Soul Power Level was now estimated to be at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Judging by Dugu Yan's reaction, at the very least, this grandfather and granddaughter would no longer hunt him down.

His Soul Power had greatly improved again, and the problem of being hunted by a Titled Douluo had been resolved. These two joys overlapped, and that double joy brought him even more joy.

He should have attained a dreamlike moment of happiness, so why had things turned out this way?

Why was Yu Mingfei unhappy?

All he could say was that the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid truly deserved its reputation as a sacred antidote. While dispelling the enormous amount of poison within him, it had also removed the poison inherently carried by the Eight Spider Lances.

This precious External Soul Bone, one with growth potential, had gone crooked before it could even begin to develop, veering away from its intended path.

Yu Mingfei had originally planned to combine the Eight Spider Lances' spider venom with Word Spirit: Deep Blood to develop a set of highly toxic combat techniques.

With the Eight Spider Lances' potential for growth, threatening a Titled Douluo in the future would not have been a dream.

But fate toyed with him. The Eight Spider Lances countered the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, while the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid countered the Eight Spider Lances.

Thanks to Dugu Yan's good intentions, Yu Mingfei's plan had fallen through.

Twice!

After seeing Yu Mingfei open his eyes without saying a word, still lying across Dugu Yan's legs.

Dugu Bo's anger immediately flared. He reached out and grabbed him.

"Kid, this time you can count it as a blessing in disguise!"

Dugu Bo huffed into his beard and glared. "Yanyan's poison backlash was something the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect should have taken responsibility for in the first place. Although you were expelled from the sect, you bear part of the responsibility too!"

After catching his breath, he continued, "Now that Yanyan is out of danger, and you have eaten the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid, not only has the deadly poison been removed, but you have gained quite a few benefits as well.

"Old Man isn't an unreasonable person. If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect still gives you trouble, just give them my name!"

Yu Mingfei rolled his eyes. He truly did not want to see this unreasonable old bastard, Dugu Bo, ever again.

But Dugu Yan's problem had not been completely resolved.

The poison backlash was only one issue.

Her damaged Martial Soul was the second.

Although her cultivation foundation had been preserved for now, the damage to her Martial Soul remained unresolved. At most, Dugu Yan had merely taken one step back from the cliff's edge; she had not fully escaped danger.

With her Soul Bone leaking and her poison out of control, Dugu Yan had forcibly used Martial Soul Possession to suppress the poison.

She had maintained that state for a full half month.

The poison that had exceeded her control had already damaged the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's ability to store poison.

If the poison could lose control once, it could lose control a second time.

As long as she continued practicing the Poison Arts, this would happen again and again.

This situation could not be concealed. As long as this grandfather and granddaughter carefully examined her, they would discover it.

When that time came, Dugu Bo would probably go on another rampage everywhere.

This old bastard might sound nice now, but whenever it involved his Granddaughter, his words were no better than farting.

Since that was the case, Yu Mingfei might as well entangle their karma even more deeply!

He looked at Dugu Bo and said calmly, "Do you really think Dugu Yan is fine now?"

Dugu Bo's expression changed. He instantly remembered something, immediately seized Dugu Yan's restored left leg, and probed deeply. Every problem was exposed without exception.

His expression turned incomparably ugly.

He glared at Yu Mingfei, not knowing what to say.

What could he say? What was there for him to say?

Yu Mingfei solving the problem of the uncontrolled poison consuming her body had already exceeded his expectations.

Could Yu Mingfei also repair the leaking Soul Bone and damaged Martial Soul?

Just as Dugu Yan had said, this matter had never really been Yu Mingfei's fault.

Yu Mingfei watched Dugu Bo's face turn green, then red, shifting back and forth without him saying a word.

He could not help letting out a soft chuckle.

Dugu Yan had originally relaxed, but upon hearing Yu Mingfei's words, she became nervous again.

She still did not understand what consequences a damaged Martial Soul would bring.

She was still immersed in the joy of retaining her Poison Arts and being freed from the pain.

Seeing Dugu Yan's conflicted expression, Ye Lingling could not help speaking.

"Yu Mingfei, you've known Yanyan for some time now. You understand her personality too. She has never blamed you.

"This time, Senior Dugu only dragged you into it because he was desperate.

"From the very beginning, you were the one who kept caring about Yanyan's health. Later, Yu Tianheng suddenly claimed he could resolve Yanyan's problem, and we all found it strange.

"We don't understand the affairs of great sects either.

"But Yanyan is innocent. If you have a way, please help her."

Hearing those words, Yu Mingfei could not help feeling a ripple in his heart.

At first, he had deliberately befriended Dugu Yan only because he wanted the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At most, he had liked her appearance a little.

To say that he had genuine feelings for her would have been nonsense.

But...

Just now, Dugu Yan had fed him the Nine-Petal Golden Orchid without the slightest hesitation.

That action left his thoughts somewhat confused.

The sect he had trusted had stolen his credit, forced him to take the blame, and expelled him.

Yet the person he had used as a tool had been willing to spend a sacred antidote to save his life.

Before he could speak.

Dugu Bo could no longer restrain himself.

He had always been unreasonable and did not believe Yu Mingfei possessed a way to repair a damaged Martial Soul.

But he had his own idea.

Dugu Bo grabbed Yu Mingfei and pressed his hand against Yu Mingfei's back.

The instant he made contact, his spirits lifted.

As expected, this kid has a Soul Bone! And one of the two most important Soul Bones, a Torso Bone!

Judging from what he showed earlier, this Soul Bone probably has the ability to control poison!

Yanyan's leaking Soul Bone caused her poison to lose control. Wouldn't absorbing another Soul Bone solve that?

As for the damaged Martial Soul, we can slowly find another solution!

After the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, had been absorbed by Yu Mingfei's unusual body, an unknown change had occurred during its subjugation.

Rather than fusing with his Ribs, it had instead attached itself tightly to his Spine.

This caused Dugu Bo to misjudge it as a Torso Soul Bone.

Dugu Bo did not reveal his thoughts to his Granddaughter, afraid that she would not have the heart to accept it.

But to him, his son and daughter-in-law had long since passed away. His Granddaughter was his entire life.

The matter of the Soul Bone had already filled him with endless regret. Now that there was a chance to remedy it, he could not allow even the slightest mistake!

Dugu Bo clenched his five fingers and was about to kill Yu Mingfei and extract his Soul Bone.

"Grandfather? What are you doing? Stop!"

Although Dugu Yan was nervous, her eyes had remained on Yu Mingfei. The moment Dugu Bo moved, she noticed.

"Yanyan, Grandfather has a way to solve your problem. Just wait peacefully!"

Dugu Bo did not want to explain too much, nor did he intend to let his Granddaughter stop him.

Every Soul Bone had a different degree of completeness. He needed to investigate the details of the Torso Bone within Yu Mingfei and preserve it as intact as possible.

But Dugu Yan rushed over and tightly gripped his hand, making it impossible for him to continue.

"Grandfather!"

Dugu Bo was interrupted, yet he could not blast his Granddaughter away.

He could only withdraw his Soul Power while trying to persuade Dugu Yan.

"Yanyan, he has a Torso Soul Bone, and it's one that controls poison! Once you absorb it, you will be able to contain poison and never suffer from it losing control again!

"As for the damaged Martial Soul, Grandfather will find a solution!"

Yu Mingfei finally had a chance to catch his breath. He turned toward the grandfather and granddaughter, then sneered.

"You want to dig out my Spine and put it in your Granddaughter? Too late!

"The Nine-Petal Golden Orchid has already removed the Soul Bone's poison! Its poison-control ability is gone.

"Do you think I'll leave you an intact Soul Bone before I die?"
