Giving an Immortal Herb, Encountering Liu Erlong Again

Therefore, Xia Yang did not hesitate to use his defensive and amplification Soul Skill to maximize his defensive capabilities.

A flash of purple light appeared on Xia Yang's body.

Then, a set of Purple Armor shaped like ribs instantly covered him and Tang Yuehua.

At the same time, gray patterns appeared on the armor.

These patterns covered the surface of the armor, and the shimmering gray light greatly enhanced the protective capabilities of this defensive Soul Skill.

Third Soul Skill: Dark Demon Evil God Transformation!

Xia Yang's third Soul Skill is a Soul Skill that amplifies all attributes.

However, at this moment, Xia Yang did not use this Soul Skill to strengthen himself, but instead added the power of the Soul Skill to his second Soul Skill.

The Rib Cage Armor, which originally only covered a range of two or three meters around the body, suddenly expanded several times, covering an area of ten meters around it.

At this moment, Xia Yang was ready.

"Bang!"

The hundred-meter-long Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor crashed heavily into the massive Rib Cage Armor Xia Yang's body.

The impact was so powerful that it even dispersed the dense purple miasma surrounding the area, creating a clean space.

However, the surrounding poisonous miasma was so dense that it quickly filled the newly formed space again.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yang was sent flying backward by the impact.

"Snap!"

As Xia Yang flew backward, the armor around him kept making cracking sounds.

Finally, Xia Yang's back slammed heavily against a large tree.

With a "bang," Xia Yang landed safely.

At this moment, his rib-shaped armor was covered with cracks, but it was not completely broken after all.

"Cough cough!"

Xia Yang bent over and coughed a few times; Dugu Bo's attack had left him feeling tightness in his chest.

"How is that possible?"

"How could a Level Forty Soul Ancestor like you possibly withstand one of my attacks without getting hurt?"

Not far away, Dugu Bo, who had transformed into the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor, looked at the unharmed Xia Yang and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ah--"

"Puff!"

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo spat out a mouthful of green blood, and the hundred-meter-long true form of the Serpent King collapsed heavily to the ground.

It turned out that when Dugu Bo discovered Xia Yang and his companion earlier, he was already at his last gasp.

He unleashed his full power solely out of a burning rage within him.

However, Dugu Bo did not expect that his attack as Titled Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar would fail to harm Xia Yang in the slightest.

Overwhelmed by rage, and compounded by the toxins escalating from his prolonged stay in the poisonous miasma, Dugu Bo finally succumbed to his injuries and fell unconscious.

"Brother Xia, are you alright?"

Tang Yuehua asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just feel a little tightness in my chest."

Xia Yang comforted him.

At this moment, Xia Yang gently touched his chest while suppressing his previous defensive abilities.

He hadn't expected that he could actually withstand Dugu Bo's attack.

"It must have been the two Immortal Herb from before. After Ice-Fire Body Tempering, my current body and Martial Soul have astonishing defensive capabilities."

Xia Yang pondered to himself.

"Was that giant snake the Martial Soul Avatar of Poison Douluo's martial soul?"

Just then, Tang Yuehua's question pulled Xia Yang back to reality.

"It should be."

"It seems that this Secret Realm we found was previously occupied by Dugu Bo."

Xia Yang said, feigning analysis.

"So what do we do now? Leave immediately? Or...?"

As Tang Yuehua spoke, she made a throat-slitting gesture towards Xia Yang.

"Hiss--"

Seeing Tang Yuehua's actions, Xia Yang couldn't help but gasp.

He originally had no intention of killing Dugu Bo, but he never expected Tang Yuehua to have such a thought.

As expected of someone from a major sect, their first thought in this situation was to kill and silence the witnesses.

"Forget it, we have no grudge against him after all, and I still find it hard to bring myself to kill him directly."

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yang shook his head and said.

Although more than twenty years have passed since he traveled through time, Xia Yang is ultimately different from the locals like Tang Yuehua.

He did not intend to take the opportunity to kill Dugu Bo, provided there was no conflict of interest.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yang took out a Immortal Herb from his Storage Soul Tool.

Strictly speaking, this Immortal Herb herb doesn't resemble a grass at all; its shape is more like a golden pumpkin, round and plump, about the size of a fist.

"This is?"

Tang Yuehua asked curiously.

"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon; this Immortal Herb should be able to help Dugu Bo."

Xia Yang explained.

After saying that, Xia Yang casually tossed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon into the mouth of the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor, which was transformed from Dugu Bo.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon was pierced by the snake's sharp teeth, and the golden juice immediately flowed into Dugu Bo's throat.

"Gulp!"

Dugu Bo unconsciously began to swallow.

After a few breaths, Xia Yang noticed that the abnormal color on Dugu Bo's body was slowly fading.

This is clearly because the toxins in his body are being gradually suppressed.

"Let's go, Yuehua!"

After seeing that Dugu Bo was alright, Xia Yang turned and left with Tang Yuehua.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the dense poisonous miasma.

Seven days later, on the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

A young couple walked side by side out of the dense forest and arrived at the Soul Hunting Town, located on the edge of the forest.

These two were Xia Yang and Tang Yuehua, who were preparing to return to Heaven Dou City to rest.

"Finally out!"

Tang Yuehua stretched out her arms and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the forest.

"I feel much more relaxed all over."

Seeing her cheerful expression, Xia Yang smiled and asked, "Would you like to rest here for the night, or head straight back to Heaven Dou City?"

Tang Yuehua looked around.

The town was quite simple, with wooden houses everywhere you looked. Only a few slightly more refined restaurants were scattered around the town center. Otherwise, it was no different from an ordinary village.

So Tang Yuehua gently shook her head, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "Forget it, let's hurry on our way."

"I want to get back to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible; I don't want to spend the night here."

"Alright."

Xia Yang nodded in agreement, reached out and took Tang Yuehua, preparing to leave this Soul Hunting Town.

"Yuehua, Mister Xia, you're back?"

Just as the two turned around, a familiar voice came from behind them.

Xia Yang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall woman dressed in a red outfit walking quickly toward them with a joyful smile on her face.

"Erlong Jie!"

Tang Yuehua exclaimed in surprise, "You haven't left yet?"

The person who arrived was none other than Liu Erlong, whom they had parted ways with several months ago.

I never expected that she would still be staying in this small town.

Tang Yuehua skipped over excitedly and embraced Liu Erlong warmly.

"Yuehua, you're finally back!"

Liu Erlong was equally delighted to see his old friend.

"Have you been working as mercenaries for the past four months?"

"Erlong Jie, you still haven't answered me."

Tang Yuehua subtly changed the subject, saying, "Have you been staying here for the past four months?"
