Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter

Damn it, Bibi Dong, you can shut up now!

One beam of orange-red Light of Judgment after another fell upon the poisonous fog surrounding the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.

The glowing green rings shrank layer by layer, and the poisonous fog spreading in every direction slowed considerably.

Yan had used a Throne Projection, but Qian Renyu was the true master of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter.

The Light of Judgment unleashed by the projection, which could only wield thirty percent of his power, was on an entirely different level from the Light of Judgment he could unleash at full strength.

Qian Renyu stood unmoving.

The Light of Judgment mercilessly pounded the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.

Its body kept bending, and its raised head gradually drooped lower.

Dugu Bo stood atop the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's head.

His expression was unbearably grim. The pressure bearing down on the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor was naturally reflected back onto him.

His once-straight back began to hunch again, and beads of sweat rolled from his forehead.

He panted like an old ox, unable to maintain his usual composure.

"Old monster, can you still hold on?"

Seeing that Dugu Bo was in trouble, Tang San couldn't help asking.

Dugu Bo managed a faint smile and took a deep breath, forcing his voice to sound low and powerful.

"Little Monster, I'll admit that I'm not as skilled at using poison as you!"

"Since you're better than me at using poison, and you've experienced my skills firsthand, you should know there aren't many people in this world who can withstand my poison!"

"Qian Renyu is indeed powerful. If it came down to a fight to the death, I wouldn't be his match, but no matter what—"

"I'm still a Titled Douluo!"

Dugu Bo's voice rang out in a low growl.

His hunched back straightened completely.

His full power erupted in an instant.

The imposing presence befitting a Titled Douluo was fully revealed.

Once his aura had settled, Dugu Bo made the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor raise its head again. His gaze fixed on Qian Renyu, now more resolute.

"Qian Renyu, since you don't care about the safety of the common people in Spirit City, then let's see just how far you're willing to go!"

"I may be your senior, but even if strength is respected in the Soul Master World, seniors still deserve respect!"

"I've been a Titled Douluo for many years. I'm not someone a junior like you can simply push around!"

Boom—

As his voice fell, the green rings of poisonous fog visibly spread outward.

Even with the Light of Judgment blocking and dissolving it, the remaining poison still ran rampant.

In the blink of an eye, it engulfed a vast area beyond the competition grounds, covering the entire rest area in green fog.

The many Soul Masters resting there immediately braced themselves. Seeing the poison rolling toward them, they circulated their Soul Power.

Every one of them was on guard, daring not to let their vigilance slip for even a moment.

Even those who had never personally experienced Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's reputation had heard of it.

If Dugu Bo truly went berserk and used his poison to slaughter all of Spirit City, one could only imagine how terrifyingly potent it would be.

"Dugu Bo's really gone mad!"

"When gods fight, mortals suffer! There's no way spectators like us can withstand the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison!"

"What is the new Pope Qian Renyu thinking? Is he really so cold-blooded?"

Whispers rose throughout the rest area, where many Soul Masters complained.

They had only come to watch the finals of the Spirit Master Tournament, yet now they were caught in the crossfire of a battle between Qian Renyu and Dugu Bo.

It was enough to make anyone weep!

One after another, Spirit City's soldiers collapsed. Even some who were Soul Masters went limp and fell.

Their faces, which had been ruddy with health, turned deathly pale. In an instant, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison had invaded their internal organs.

It hadn't yet fully taken their lives, but the poison had already made them feel as though they'd rather be dead.

Dugu Bo might have been far from impressive in a one-on-one fight, but when it came to poison, there truly weren't many in the world who could compare to him!

Qian Renyu watched it all indifferently as Dugu Bo unleashed the full force of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison.

His expression didn't change in the slightest, as though he hadn't seen any of it.

On the high platform.

Bibi Dong hadn't come down with Qian Renyu.

Watching him seated on the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, doing nothing but directing beam after beam of Light of Judgment to dissolve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poisonous fog, she let a glimmer of light flash through her eyes.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity for me!"

"Qian Renyu doesn't care about the people's safety. If I intervene now, my prestige will soar!"

"And given the situation, if Dugu Bo dies here, Tang San and Xiao Gang won't be able to leave either."

"No. I can't let Xiao Gang come to harm in Spirit City!"

Bibi Dong considered the matter in silence.

Having settled on a course of action, she suddenly shot into the air.

She couldn't get close to the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, but she still hovered in the area around it.

Her cool gaze fixed on Qian Renyu, and her face took on a hint of compassion.

"Qian Renyu, let them all go!"

"Ordinary people can't withstand Dugu Bo's poison!"

"Do you care at all about the foundations of Spirit Hall, or the common people of Spirit City?"

Bibi Dong snapped.

With a single sentence, she placed herself on a lofty moral pedestal.

Qian Renyu gave a scornful laugh and glanced at Bibi Dong. "Bibi Dong, are you sure you're saying this for the sake of Spirit City's people?"

"If you truly cared about them, you already have the perfect solution. You can go kill Dugu Bo yourself."

"The rest of this won't cripple Spirit City. But will you kill Dugu Bo?"

"I know exactly what you're plotting. Don't make me rip away your last shred of decency!"

"Now, you'd better keep quiet!"

Bibi Dong's expression changed abruptly.

Qian Renyu's words had been utterly merciless.

Her face flushed red, then went pale.

Her whole plan depended on Dugu Bo taking Yu Xiaogang away.

Did she think he should kill Dugu Bo himself and destroy the last hope of Yu Xiaogang ever getting out of here alive?

What a joke!

Bibi Dong roared inwardly.

She glared darkly at Qian Renyu. "Then I'll see how you explain this to all the people of Spirit City!"

Qian Renyu paid no attention to Bibi Dong's posturing.

He knew all about her little schemes and had no interest in wasting time arguing with her.

Spending his time on Bibi Dong would hardly be 'respectful' to the grand act of slaughter Dugu Bo was trying to carry out.

His calm gaze settled on Dugu Bo, standing atop the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's head.

"So I'm a junior, and therefore I have to respect my elders?"

"To borrow something Tang Hao will say in the future: 'The determined don't need to be old, and the aimless can live a hundred years in vain.'"

"Dugu Bo, your time is up!"
