In the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Bo and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stood facing each other, locked in a standoff.

Chen Lang hid in the distance. This was not a battle he could take part in.

However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stopped thirty meters away from Dugu Bo. It no longer roared, and its icy blood-red eyes looked terrifyingly calm.

Its pair of golden eyes stared fixedly at Dugu Bo, then glanced at Chen Lang in the distance. It did not attack in haste.

This beast is as clever as it was in the original story...

Seeing this, Chen Lang could not help sighing inwardly.

But when he sensed that the help he had called for had arrived, the tension in his heart finally eased.

Yet the very next second, Chen Lang felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp prickle, as though Death itself had fixed its gaze upon him. He immediately realized...

This beast was using him as a breakthrough point!

"Watch out!"

Watching the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger charge at Chen Lang, Poison Douluo's gaze sharpened as he immediately moved to block its path.

But the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ferocious pounce came to an abrupt halt in midair. At the same time, it twisted its enormous body and turned to pounce upon the charging Poison Douluo, utterly defying inertia and gravity!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger moved as swiftly as Ghostly. Having just halted its charge in midair, it twisted around and left behind a black-red afterimage.

Cunning and cruelty flashed in its scarlet eyes. Clearly, it had never truly intended to attack Chen Lang from the start—it was merely feinting east to strike west!

Poison Douluo only felt a foul wind rushing toward him, carrying an aura of darkness and evil that made his skin crawl.

Before he could fully steady his footing, he hastily activated the true form of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which covered his entire body—dark green scales bulged from beneath his skin in an instant, and his body expanded to ten meters long. Nine diamond-shaped vertebrae rose high along his back, each flowing with the sheen of deadly poison.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Purple Mist!"

Poison Douluo roared and spewed out a vast cloud of deep violet mist. Wherever the mist touched the ground, even hard rock began to dissolve with a hiss, while a suffocating stench filled the air.

This was the wide-area poisonous soul skill that had made his name. An ordinary Titled Douluo would collapse upon touching it, and even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would have to keep its distance.

Yet the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger charged straight into the purple mist as if it were completely immune to the poison. The black character for "king" on its forehead suddenly lit up, and a layer of gray-black airflow swirled around its body—it was Evil God's Protection!

When the purple mist collided with that layer of airflow, it vanished without a trace like mud sinking into the sea. It had no effect at all!

"Is this gray airflow even stronger than my poison?!" Poison Douluo's eyes narrowed.

But before he could react, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger let out a deafening roar from within the mist. The Evil God's Hook on its tail suddenly extended, stabbing toward Poison Douluo's vulnerable spot with a piercing shriek.

A ghostly gleam flickered from the barb, as though it could tear through space itself. Even the scales of Poison Douluo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor throbbed with pain.

"Old man, you're too slow!"

A childish yet sinister voice came from the tiger's mouth. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was actually speaking.

Clearly, it had long seen through the weakness of Poison Douluo's true form. This strike was precise and vicious, nothing like a beast's instinctive attack. Instead, it carried the tactical calculation of a human.

Poison Douluo's pupils contracted sharply. The snake tail behind him swept out with tremendous force, lashing at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's flank as he forcibly twisted his body aside to avoid the vital blow.

With a crisp clang, the snake tail collided with the Evil God's Hook, sending sparks flying. Poison Douluo felt an icy force seep up from his tail, making his blood and energy churn violently.

Using the force of the clash, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger spun through the air along a bizarre arc, evading Poison Douluo's counterattack. At the same time, black-red energy gathered in its mouth—several wind blades mixed with lightning shot toward the Poison Douluo, who had only just regained his footing, like a torrential downpour.

The wind blades slammed into Poison Douluo with deafening explosions. He was blasted back again and again, spiderweb cracks spreading across the ground beneath his feet. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, leaving him looking rather battered.

Looking into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's mocking eyes, Poison Douluo finally understood why this soul beast was called the "Evil God"—it not only possessed strength that crushed others of the same rank, but also intelligence and wickedness far beyond imagination.

At that moment, Poison Douluo panicked somewhat. He knew he was no match for it.

He turned to Chen Lang and asked, "Little Chen, where's your helper? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

"He has. He got here ages ago. But seeing how confident Grandpa Poison was just now, I thought I'd let you show off a little." Chen Lang scratched his head.

"..."

Poison Douluo's mouth twitched. "Show off my ass!"

"If you don't call your helper now, we'll both die here. This beast's strength truly rivals that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"Got it."

Chen Lang smiled. "Grandpa Bone, please make your move."

"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd asked me to act sooner?"

Bone Douluo's voice rang out. He then appeared in front of Chen Lang and said, "Little Poison, you're still too young."

"..."

Dugu Bo's face darkened.

No wonder Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo got along so well. Both of them had equally venomous tongues.

"There are actually two Titled Douluo!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger turned and fled at once, with no intention of continuing the fight.

"You hit me and think you can just run?"

Seeing Bone Douluo appear, Poison Douluo immediately unleashed a soul skill to block its path.

"Beast, you dared to ambush my god-grandson just now. You'll stay here today!" Bone Douluo also revealed his Soul Rings and Martial Soul, and the aura of a rank-95 Titled Douluo instantly locked onto the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes suddenly changed from blood red to a deep blue. Its earlier fatigue vanished completely, and the gray airflow turned entirely black, carrying its body toward Poison Douluo like a dark cloud.

It did not seem particularly fast, but the instant it pounced, its long tail, whose Evil God's Hook had transformed into the Evil God's Sting, had already swung into motion. A dot of black light instantly appeared midway between it and Poison Douluo.

An intense black light erupted at once, turning into a massive black hole three meters in diameter.

"What is that?"

Poison Douluo froze. He felt a powerful suction coming from the black hole, as if it were about to drag him inside.

At that instant, he sensed a fatal threat. His instincts told him that if he were sucked in, his life would end there.

"Grandpa Bone, throw me over there, now!"

Seeing this, Chen Lang immediately spoke to Bone Douluo beside him.

"But..."

"No buts! Can you be more of a man? I don't have time to explain!"

"Damn it, if something happens to you, that old Sword guy will be chopping me up!"

Bone Douluo cursed under his breath, but when he saw the determination in Chen Lang's eyes, he cursed again. "Damn it, I should've known better than to come!"

Then he grabbed Chen Lang and threw him over.

At that very moment, the black hole's suction reached its peak, and Chen Lang happened to block the way in front of Poison Douluo.

But with the Veil of Divine Blessing, he was completely immune to the suction. Poison Douluo beside him, however, was not, and his whole body was about to be sucked in.

Chen Lang was dumbfounded.

At that critical moment, Chen Lang shouted:

"Don't you dare hurt Grandpa Poison!"

Then he voluntarily took Poison Douluo's place and plunged into the black hole.
