Poison! The Sinister Dugu Bo!

Taking advantage of the brief window while Sword Douluo forced Gui Mei back, Bone Douluo Gu Rong brought Ning Fengzhi along, covering the distance to Cuihua in a few leaps.

A refined, gentle smile—one that felt like a spring breeze—hung on Ning Fengzhi's face. He bowed slightly and said kindly, "Miss Cuihua, I am Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi's voice was gentle, but he spoke with rapid speed, immediately laying his offer on the table.

"Whatever Spirit Hall can give you, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will double it!"

"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the wealthiest sect on the entire continent. When it comes to cultivation resources and heavenly treasures, we have far more than Spirit Hall!"

"As long as you are willing to come with me, the entire sect will spare no effort to provide you with any cultivation resources you require."

Cuihua was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi assumed she was still unsatisfied, so he immediately added, "Furthermore, I am willing to appoint you as an honorary elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Your status will be completely equal to that of our two Title Douluo patrons and myself, the Sect Master!"

Such a generous offer caused the soul masters hiding in the shadows to gasp in unison.

The wealthiest sect on the continent was opening its treasury wide!

The magnitude of such wealth was simply unimaginable.

Cuihua, meanwhile, fell into deep thought.

Equal status to the Sect Master?

Free access to the entire sect's wealth?

For a poor girl who had once struggled just to have enough to eat, this was a temptation truly hard to refuse. She frowned slightly, beginning to weigh the pros and cons between Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Seeing Cuihua hesitate, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, standing behind Ning Fengzhi, instantly lost his patience.

A flash of impatience crossed Gu Rong's skeletal face.

His spiritual perception was extremely keen; he could clearly sense two cold, sinister auras hidden in the surrounding darkness, neither of which was any weaker than a Title Douluo.

Every moment of delay brought more danger.

Delays lead to complications!

"Fengzhi, stop wasting your breath on her. The longer we drag this out, the more dangerous it becomes!"

Gu Rong lowered his voice, his figure suddenly lunging forward as his withered, branch-like hand reached directly for the back of Cuihua's neck.

He intended to subdue her by force and take her away immediately.

Once she was on the territory of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there would be plenty of time to negotiate terms.

However, Gu Rong had greatly underestimated the vigilance of a Spirit Master.

The immense spiritual power of a Spirit Master allowed for absolute control over the surrounding environment and spiritual fluctuations. Furthermore, Cuihua was currently in the state of a startled bird, highly alert to her surroundings.

The moment Gu Rong extended his hand, Cuihua instantly sensed the intense malice radiating from the Bone Douluo.

This was a physical instinct honed from fighting monsters in the Wilderness Zone!

Before the Bone Douluo's hand could touch her, Cuihua's eyes narrowed sharply, and her vast spiritual telepathic energy poured out like a bursting dam.

"Go!"

The two fine-steel flying knives hovering at her sides instantly transformed into two silver bolts of lightning, too fast for the naked eye to track.

The distance was too close, and the speed was too great!

Bone Douluo Gu Rong had never expected a young girl without even a shred of soul power to counterattack so fiercely.

Caught off guard, he didn't even have time to summon his Bone Dragon spirit for defensive possession.

Puchi! Puchi!

Two sickening sounds of blades piercing flesh rang out.

The two flying knives, carrying thousands of pounds of force and formidable spiritual penetration, pierced directly through Gu Rong's right shoulder, spraying two bursts of crimson blood into the air.

"Urgh!"

Gu Rong let out a muffled groan, stumbling backward while clutching his bleeding shoulder, his eyes filled with disbelief.

A dignified level-95 Title Douluo had actually been wounded by a teenage girl!

"Uncle Gu!"

Ning Fengzhi was horrified, his composure vanishing in an instant.

Without hesitation, he raised his right hand, and a shimmering seven-story pagoda instantly appeared.

"Seven Treasures turn, glazed light! The sixth: Increase!"

A gentle, rich light of healing shot out from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, quickly enveloping the Bone Douluo's wound.

However, just as Ning Fengzhi was fully focused on healing the Bone Douluo, and while the Bone Douluo was still reeling from the shock of his injury, Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, who had been hiding in the shadows on the second floor of the tavern, finally seized their chance.

"Attack!"

Two figures shot out like arrows from a bow, instantly shattering the tavern windows and launching their assault!

Snake Spear Douluo She Long held a strange, cyan-purple double-headed spear. His true spirit form activated instantly, transforming him into a massive, two-headed giant snake that lunged at the injured Bone Douluo with a foul stench.

Pufferfish Douluo Ci Xue's body suddenly swelled into a giant sphere covered in spikes, radiating a toxic red glow as he smashed down like a falling mountain.

Although Bone Douluo's cultivation had reached level ninety-five, firmly suppressing these two level ninety-two Douluo, his shoulder was currently pierced by a flying blade, obstructing the circulation of his soul power. Furthermore, the opponents had planned this ambush with full intent, catching him completely off guard.

"BOOM!"

A dull, thunderous roar erupted.

In his haste, Bone Douluo activated his martial soul and his Avatar simultaneously, shifting his massive frame to block directly in front of Ning Fengzhi!

The blade of the Snake Spear grazed his ribs, while the toxic spikes of the Pufferfish slammed viciously into his back.

Gu Rong spat out a large mouthful of black blood, his massive body sent crashing into the ruins of a residential building, leaving him severely wounded in an instant.

Having succeeded with their strike, Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo did not pause for a second, their gazes shifting simultaneously toward the now-unprotected Ning Fengzhi.

Cruel killing intent flickered in their eyes.

While taking Cuihua was their mission, if they could seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to finish off the defenseless Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it would undoubtedly remove a major thorn in the side of Spirit Hall!

"Ning Fengzhi, die!"

Snake Spear Douluo sneered, the spear in his hand transforming into a lethal beam of toxic light, thrusting straight toward Ning Fengzhi's heart.

Ning Fengzhi's face turned deathly pale; as a support-type soul master, he had no way to evade the killing blow of two Title Douluo.

Just as the spear was about to pierce through Ning Fengzhi's chest, the movements of Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo suddenly stiffened.

A wave of intense dizziness surged into their minds without warning.

They felt the soul power within their bodies suddenly solidify, their vision began to blur with double images, and breathing became difficult.

"What is happening? We've been poisoned?!"

Pufferfish Douluo was an expert in toxins himself, and he reacted immediately. His face turned a sickly shade of green as a violent poison erupted within him!

Nearby, on the rooftop, a cloud of ghastly green toxic mist slowly dissipated.

Dressed in a dark green robe with long, pale green hair, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo with a mocking expression.

"Hahaha! Since you've been struck by my Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, you'd better just lie there and behave!"
