One Punch Knocks Out Dugu Bo, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai: Boss, Didn't We Agree to Win People Over with Virtue?
Ye Wen was nearly driven mad by all the dancing. If he kept dancing, he was starting to wonder whether he would turn into some freak.
"Let's go, Xiao Bai, Evil Tiger."
"Alright, Boss!"
"Move out!"
The three quickly left the academy.
Ye Wen said, "Skywater Academy has one break every year, lasting two and a half months. This time, we'll try to settle both the Immortal Herbs and Slaughter City."
"Will we have enough time?" Xiao Bai asked.
"More or less."
Before long, the three left Skywater City and headed straight for Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Immortal Herbs were a crucial factor in Tang San's growth, but they were equally crucial for Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai to increase their strength in human form.
Immortal Herbs could not only drastically boost Soul Power, but also greatly help with the speed of future Soul Power cultivation.
Therefore, Ye Wen was determined to obtain them this time.
As for where the Immortal Herbs were located, it was in a place called Sunset Forest.
Sunset Forest was also a gathering place for Soul Beasts. It belonged neither to Spirit Hall nor to the Empire. It was an extremely dangerous land, and hardly any Soul Masters entered it to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings.
That was because Sunset Forest was filled with dense green poisonous mist. Even Soul Masters at the Soul Sage level could be poisoned to death by it.
The Poison Mist Forest was filled with all kinds of venomous Soul Beasts, every one of them at least at the Thousand Year level.
At the same time, one person lived here: the level 92 Titled Douluo renowned throughout the land for his poison, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Thus, practically no one dared to come here to hunt Soul Beasts.
Those Immortal Herbs grew in the core region of Sunset Forest, where there was a spring known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was also Poison Douluo's private residence, the place where he usually cultivated his poison arts.
At this moment, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had yet to realize that three uninvited guests were about to come and take away all his Immortal Herbs. He was admiring the herbs that radiated mysterious auras.
Most of these Immortal Herbs were highly poisonous. Dugu Bo barely recognized any of them and did not dare eat or use them carelessly. The people of this world knew very little about Immortal Herbs, and no one would dare consume something they did not understand. Dugu Bo was afraid of poisoning himself to death as well.
Although he did not dare eat or use them, he knew these Immortal Herbs were anything but ordinary. Every day, he would admire these rare and exotic plants, keeping them as treasured collectibles.
After several days of travel, Ye Wen and the other two finally arrived at Sunset Forest. Looking at the enormous poison mist forest before them, wicked smiles appeared on their faces.
"Hehe, Boss, just as you said, if every Immortal Herb in there is worth a fortune, then if we snatch them all away, will Dugu Bo be so furious that he coughs up blood?" Evil Tiger asked with a mischievous grin.
"I don't know whether he'll cough up blood, but those Immortal Herbs would be wasted if they stayed here. That old fellow wouldn't know how to use them anyway!"
"Xiao Bai, Evil Tiger, once we go in, let's try to persuade them with virtue," Ye Wen said.
"Persuade them with virtue? Got it, Boss!"
"Let's go!"
All three shifted into their Semi-human Forms and draped themselves in black cloaks to conceal their bodies before charging into the poisonous mist.
This poisonous mist could not stop experts at the Titled Douluo level, much less the Thousand Year Soul Beasts within. Nothing could block Ye Wen and the other two's path.
They charged straight inward, and before long, they arrived outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well resembled a massive crater created by a giant meteorite. Stone walls surrounded it on all sides, with only one entrance leading inside.
At this moment, Ye Wen and the other two stood outside that entrance.
"Immortal Herbs, we're here!"
The three swaggered right inside.
At this moment, besides Dugu Bo, his granddaughter Dugu Yan was also there.
Dugu Yan was roughly six years older than Tang San, meaning she was already fourteen years old.
Dugu Yan would occasionally come here to cultivate her poison arts with Dugu Bo. Cultivating poison here was twice as effective with half the effort.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! I feel like my poison arts have improved quite a bit again!" Dugu Yan said happily, tugging on Dugu Bo's arm.
"Hahaha, my granddaughter is the best." Dugu Bo laughed fondly as he stroked her.
The grandfather and granddaughter shared a harmonious moment, but Ye Wen and the other two's arrival shattered that harmony.
"Hmm?"
Dugu Bo immediately sensed that someone had intruded. His expression instantly turned sinister.
Noticing that something was wrong with Dugu Bo's expression, Dugu Yan hurriedly asked, "What is it, Grandpa?"
"Someone has broken in." Dugu Bo's gaze instantly turned as cold as a snake's. The only people who could come here were himself and his granddaughter—there could be no third person!
"What? Who could it be?"
"Hmph. Whoever they are, anyone who dares intrude upon the forbidden ground where I, Dugu Bo, cultivate is dead." Killing intent flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.
Very soon, Ye Wen and the other two appeared before Dugu Bo.
"Oh, that girl... could she be Dugu Yan?" Ye Wen was somewhat surprised as he carefully examined the girl standing beside Dugu Bo.
She was very beautiful, with short dark-purple hair and a valiant air about her. She could not be called breathtakingly gorgeous, but she possessed a bewitching charm unlike that of any other woman—something truly unique.
"Heh, where did these ignorant fools come from? You dare trespass into my, Dugu Bo's, private residence? Are you looking to die?" Dugu Bo said coldly.
Evil Tiger said, "Dugu Bo, right? Don't get worked up. We're only here to take a few of your rare herbs. We'll leave once we have them."
"Hahahaha!" Dugu Bo burst into laughter, saying with utter arrogance, madness, and disdain, "You want to take my things? Do you think I'd give them to you? Hm?"
Killing intent instantly surged from Dugu Bo's body. He was a man who killed without blinking. Aside from himself and Dugu Yan, anyone else who entered this place was already dead in his eyes.
Sensing that Dugu Bo was about to attack, Xiao Bai tried to persuade him as well, since Ye Wen had said they should win people over with virtue. "Wait! Dugu Bo, don't attack yet! Let's talk this out properly!"
"Talk my ass! Die!!!" Dugu Bo shot into the air, poisonous power gathering around his fist as he threw a punch. Its force was overwhelming, its killing intent fierce, and it looked utterly terrifying.
At that moment, Ye Wen's body shot upward as well. At a horrifying speed, he appeared before Dugu Bo in midair and slammed him viciously down with a single punch.
"Wuaaaahhh!"
Bang!
Dugu Bo let out a miserable scream as he was smashed hard into the ground.
"??????" Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. "How is that possible..."
His body blasted a huge crater into the ground. He was already covered in blood, and before long, he lay there with his eyes rolled back and foam spilling from his mouth, unconscious.
Seeing Dugu Bo in such a miserable state, Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai were both stunned, their mouths twitching uncontrollably. "B-Boss, didn't you say we were supposed to win people over with virtue?"
