Slaying Dugu Bo, System Update

Qin Chuan, Bibi Dong, and the other two left Notting City but did not return to Martial Soul Hall immediately. After rendezvousing with two other Title Douluo who had also completed their missions, Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo, they headed for the Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City.

The forest at dusk was draped in a golden veil of mystery, with endless trees stretching deep into the woods.

Sunset Forest.

Qin Chuan and Bibi Dong's group had a clear target: the central area of the Sunset Forest, the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was also Dugu Bo's residence.

Earlier, in the image projected by the Angel Holy Sword, Bibi Dong had seen Dugu Bo unleashing his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison during the war, causing heavy casualties among the Martial Soul Empire's army, leaving corpses strewn across the battlefield and poisoning countless lives.

Such a person, who would later befriend Tang San, was better off killed to eliminate future trouble.

Soon, with the overwhelming strength of Bibi Dong plus four Title Douluo, the soul beasts along the way dared not disturb them and fled in all directions.

"You're saying the medicinal herbs at Dugu Bo's place can greatly enhance a soul master's soul power, with no side effects at all, and can even improve their physique? If such herbs really exist, why didn't Dugu Bo use them himself, only to let Tang San reap the benefits in the end?"

"Dugu Bo sat on a treasure mountain without recognizing the treasure. If someone else took his fortune, who could he blame?"

"We're here."

Blocking the group's path was a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. A faint mix of fishy and fragrant scents drifted in the air. The poison formation Dugu Bo had set up effectively kept soul beasts and soul masters from entering.

Bibi Dong stepped forward and waved her hand, releasing wisps of dark purple poisonous mist.

Wherever the Death Spider Emperor poison passed, the poison formation Dugu Bo had laid retreated like a snake avoiding a scorpion, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

Overcoming poison with poison!

Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison was not the best in the world.

As they cleared the path ahead, a sinister and terrifying old voice suddenly rang out from within the mountain.

"Who dares to court death without watching where they're going, provoking me of all people!"

Dugu Bo's voice came through.

Following the source of Dugu Bo's voice, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the other two shot into the sky, and soon a fierce battle erupted within the mountain.

Bibi Dong, holding Qin Chuan's small hand, walked forward as the Death Spider Emperor poison before them dispersed on its own.

Mother and son walked through the narrow mountain path, and the view suddenly opened up before them.

The valley before them was not large, but the most striking feature was two distinctly different lakes—one ice-white and one fiery red, each emitting extreme cold and extreme heat. The valley floor was covered in medicinal herbs, a dazzling array. Even Bibi Dong, as a Pope accustomed to heavenly treasures, couldn't help but be captivated by the unique scenery.

"Let me go!"

Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo forced Dugu Bo to his knees. When he saw Bibi Dong approaching, his expression shifted dramatically.

"I was wondering who it was. So it's Her Holiness the Pope paying a visit. Last time, Her Holiness sent Chrysanthemum Guan and Old Ghost to hunt me down without success. Now that you've come in person, I'm truly honored."

Faced with Dugu Bo's sarcasm, Bibi Dong remained unfazed.

Yue Guan, however, upon visiting this place, lost the composure he had cultivated over decades as a Title Douluo. He was as delighted as a child, wandering through Dugu Bo's back garden, even forgetting that Bibi Dong was present.

"It seems Elder Ju is quite happy. Every herb here is a heavenly treasure. Take this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, for example."

Qin Chuan walked up to a golden chrysanthemum and smiled slightly at Dugu Bo. "Senior Dugu, you've dealt with Yue Guan your whole life. You should know this is his martial soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"So what?" Dugu Bo said coldly, his eyes as icy as frost, staring at Qin Chuan's every move like a venomous snake.

Qin Chuan said calmly, "Consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum opens the qi and blood in the limbs, connects the eight meridians, and can train the body to be indestructible."

Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly. Qin Chuan continued, "Every herb here is comparable to a celestial grade. Especially one called the Aromatic Silk Beauty—it can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the legendary strongest auxiliary tool martial soul, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"If you were to gift the Aromatic Silk Beauty to Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you would become an honored guest of the sect. The top three sects would owe you a great favor. Would you still need to fear Martial Soul Hall?"

At that moment, Dugu Bo's eyes turned green. He knew that now that he was captured, these celestial herbs were as good as lost to him.

"Kid! Have you had your eyes on my celestial herbs all along!" Dugu Bo turned into a beast ready to bite, lunging to kill Qin Chuan.

But Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo's hands firmly clamped down on Dugu Bo's shoulders. Even so, Dugu Bo kept his eyes locked on Qin Chuan, blood streaming from his arms, murderous intent surging in his gaze.

"You're right. I've set my sights not only on your celestial herbs but also on your life."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo sneered, "Arrogant nonsense! Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue..."

Before he could finish, Bibi Dong's right arm transformed into a purple scythe—the Death Spider Emperor Right Arm Bone.

Dugu Bo's throat was slit. Blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying continuously. Only a thin strip of skin and flesh connected his head to his neck.

Qin Chuan understood immediately. A yellow soul ring lit up beneath his feet as he aimed at the spot where Dugu Bo's throat was barely attached.

"First Soul Skill, Demon Spider Surge."

Small Death Spider Emperors surged up from the ground, swarming over and devouring Dugu Bo's blood-soaked body.

Dugu Bo's eyes bulged wide. He, the Poison Douluo who had dominated his era, whose Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison was unmatched in the world, was now dying at the hands of a junior.

Unwilling! Unwilling! I am unwilling!

"By the way, your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison is truly garbage."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo stared with hatred in his eyes and then completely perished.

"His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison really is garbage." Bibi Dong was qualified to say this. After all, when her Death Spider Emperor poison was unleashed, even the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape would die a slow death if infected.

"Ding-dong. System update complete..."

"Detected host's first kill of a Title Douluo. Assessment complete. Successful kill of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, a close associate of Tang San. Reward: 30,000 Snow Hatred Value."

"Current Snow Hatred Value: 31,000/100."

Qin Chuan looked at the transparent panel before him and nodded in satisfaction. "Finally, a big catch. Killing Yu Xiaogang only gave me a thousand. That just shows how useless that guy is."

"Ding-dong. System update complete. New store page added. Host can consume Snow Hatred Value to exchange for items. Host can also recycle key items belonging to Shrek Academy members, such as soul bones, to the system. The system will grant corresponding Snow Hatred Value based on the item's worth."

"Open the store." Qin Chuan silently commanded in his mind.
