The Nine Nether Beast's Blood! Bibi Dong Evolves!

Lin Yuan stood not far behind Bibi Dong, his gaze fixed intently on the direction where Dugu Bo was hiding.

As soon as these words were spoken.

Dugu Bo, who had been preparing to leave, froze in his tracks.

He whipped his head around, staring fixedly at the six-year-old child.

A brilliance never seen before erupted from those green eyes.

Snake venom!

It was the vicious nightmare that had plagued the Dugu family for generations!

He himself had to endure the agony of ten thousand snakes gnawing at his heart every time it rained, a pain worse than death.

And his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had already shown early signs of the poison; her purple hair was the best proof of that.

This was the greatest burden of his life, and his only weakness.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, suppressing the raging storm in his heart, and projected his voice using soul power.

"Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want."

"You don't even know who I am, so on what grounds do you claim you can cure this congenital poison?"

Lin Yuan stood in the gale, his posture upright; though his clothes were tattered, his presence was extraordinarily imposing.

Facing the interrogation of a Title Douluo, he did not show the slightest hint of fear.

"The toxins in your body have already seeped into your bone marrow; every time it flares up, your ribs feel as if they are being pricked by needles, and you even cough up blood."

"Although the toxins in Dugu Yan are currently still in her blood, if left untreated, she will not live past thirty."

"Is there even half a word of error in what I have said?"

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted.

He was spot on!

Even the specific locations and symptoms during a flare-up were described without a single mistake!

Lin Yuan watched Dugu Bo's shocked expression and continued to throw down his chips.

"My martial soul can devour all things, and it can refine the most potent poisons in the world."

"I treat the ten-thousand-year miasma of this Dark Swamp as nothing, let alone your Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom."

"In this world, besides me, no one can save you and your granddaughter."

Lin Yuan's gaze was like a torch, his tone extremely certain.

He was not afraid that Dugu Bo would refuse.

This was the most lethal of open schemes.

Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, Dugu Bo would never dare to gamble with his own granddaughter's life.

Sure enough.

The hesitation in Dugu Bo's eyes lasted less than two breaths.

He gritted his teeth hard, and a ghastly green poisonous aura erupted from his body, shooting straight into the sky.

"Kid, if you dare to deceive me, I will not let you go even as a ghost!"

As the words fell, Dugu Bo leaped down from the tree canopy.

Nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared around him.

A massive phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled behind him, flicking its scarlet tongue.

Dugu Bo held nothing back; he went all out from the very first move.

Large swathes of ghastly green poisonous mist transformed into countless venomous snakes, sweeping toward Tang Hao like a tidal wave.

"Bibi Dong, I have come to lend you a hand!"

Dugu Bo shouted, landing on the clearing and forming a pincer attack with Bibi Dong from the left and right.

With Dugu Bo's arrival, the pressure on Bibi Dong decreased sharply.

She endured the pain in the web of her hand and mobilized her soul power once more.

The purple-black venomous spider web and the ghastly green Jade Phosphorous snake mist converged in the air.

The two extreme toxins combined, completely sealing off the surrounding space.

Tang Hao stood in the middle of the two Title Douluos, yet his expression held not a shred of fear.

He swept a cold glance at Dugu Bo, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Old Poisonous Thing, to think you would dare to wade into these muddy waters for a brat from Martial Soul Hall."

"Since you want to die, then I shall grant your wish!"

Tang Hao gripped the long handle of the Clear Sky Hammer tightly with both hands.

"Even if the two of you come at me together, it will be of no use!"

The aura surrounding Tang Hao surged once more, his black robes billowing violently.

The radiance of that hundred-thousand-year red spirit ring dyed half the sky the color of blood.

Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!

Tang Hao's figure instantly transformed into a black whirlwind.

The Clear Sky Hammer carved trajectories of profound mystery through the air.

Void Art, Quake Art, and Shatter Art were unleashed in rapid succession.

Hammer blow followed hammer blow, continuous and unending.

The accumulation of power grew increasingly terrifying, the surrounding air shrieking with sonic booms from the sheer force of the impacts.

Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Poison Mist had barely approached before it was scattered into nothingness by the violent gale carried by the Clear Sky Hammer.

The overbearing force even backlashed onto Dugu Bo himself.

It forced him to retreat repeatedly, his blood and qi churning within his chest.

Every time Bibi Dong's spider legs collided with the giant hammer, they emitted a groan of unbearable strain.

Even with the two of them joining forces, they remained suppressed and unable to lift their heads in the face of Tang Hao's unreasonable, absolute strength.

Dugu Bo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cursed loudly.

This madman's strength is too freakish.

His hammer technique grows heavier with every strike; there is no holding out against a direct confrontation.

Bibi Dong bit her lip tightly, the carapace on her body already fractured in multiple places.

Yet, she remained standing firmly in front of Lin Yuan, not retreating a single inch.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with a resolve that stared death in the face.

Lin Yuan watched the battle clearly.

He knew they could not continue to drag this out.

Dugu Bo's poison was effective against ordinary spirit masters, but it struggled to get close in the face of Tang Hao's violent, raging aura.

Although Bibi Dong was formidable and possessed the gifted talent of Twin Martial Souls, she had not yet fully grown to her peak.

Facing a Tang Hao who was in a berserk state and hell-bent on killing, she could not hold on for much longer.

He had to break this balance.

A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He raised his right hand to his mouth and bit down hard on the tip of his index finger.

Bright red blood surged out instantly.

But the blood he shed carried an exceptionally dense, dark luster.

That was the pure essence blood of the Nine Nether Beast.

Lin Yuan rapidly channeled the four-thousand-year Flood Dragon spirit ring he had just absorbed.

His first spirit ring erupted with purple light, a profound violet radiance enveloping his entire body.

First spirit skill, Ancient Dragon Soul, activate!

This skill was extremely overbearing; not only could it strengthen himself, but it could also imbue others with power.

Lin Yuan did not cast this skill upon himself.

His current cultivation realm was too low; even if his strength were multiplied several times over, he could not intervene in a life-or-death battle between Title Douluo.

He locked his target firmly onto Bibi Dong ahead.

Lin Yuan took a step forward, his finger rapidly tracing a complex blood-colored rune in the air.

"Mother, catch this!"

Following Lin Yuan's shout.

That beam of crimson light, fused with the essence blood of the Nine Nether Beast and the power of the Ancient Dragon Soul, shot forth like an arrow from a bow, instantly sinking into Bibi Dong's back.

The moment the beam entered her body.

Bibi Dong's entire frame stiffened violently.

A force, violent to the extreme and ancient to the extreme, exploded wildly within her like molten lava.

This power completely ignored the original boundaries of her martial soul, directly and crudely performing an all-encompassing transformation of her body and spirit.

"Ah!!!"

The sound was filled with extreme pain, yet it was also brimming with endless power.

Her Death Spider Emperor martial soul underwent a heaven-shaking mutation at this very moment.

On her originally purple-black spider legs, eerie blood-colored patterns began to emerge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

These patterns pulsed like living blood vessels across the surface of her carapace, radiating a heart-stopping red light.

The eight dark spider eyes atop her head all transformed into a scarlet hue, like blood-red moons.

A dark aura, more than ten times denser than before, erupted from within her.
