Corridor of Heart Prison

"Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorus Bewitching Array!"

Dugu Bo had lost track of how many years it had been since he last used this move. Against an opponent at the Titled Douluo level, his first four soul skills, merely hundred- and thousand-year skills, were simply not very effective.

Using it again now, Dugu Bo only intended to obscure the Six-Winged Fallen Angel's vision.

The jade-green poisonous mist continuously darkened into deep green. Dugu Bo was steadily channeling Soul Power, intensifying the poison gas.

"Why is he completely unaffected?" Dugu Bo watched the Six-Winged Fallen Angel move recklessly through his Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison mist.

"This space is my eye. You cannot obstruct my sight." Its voice came from all directions and reached Dugu Bo's ears.

"Burning Heaven!"

A calm voice rang out. Black feathers rose upright one after another; some swiftly ignited the surrounding Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison, while others shot toward Dugu Bo.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Snake Python Heavenly Steel Shield!"

Dugu Bo shouted coldly as the phantom of a Jade Phosphorous Serpent coiled around his body.

The fiery feathers struck the Jade Phosphorous Serpent phantom in a rapid crackle, and black flames abruptly erupted.

"This black fire is burning my Soul Power!" Dugu Bo was greatly alarmed and hurriedly extinguished the flames.

"Kid, I admit your Martial Soul Fusion Skill has some strength. Perhaps it can even contend with a Soul Douluo." Dugu Bo spoke to it.

"Only some strength?" A bland voice came from its mouth. "I shall grant you judgment. Holy Sword Judgment."

It sat upon the Obsidian Throne, the Angel Demon Sword in its hand thrusting straight toward the heavens as it gradually enlarged. In the end, it became a hundred-meter giant sword, black from hilt to tip.

The hundred-meter giant sword poked its head out from the clouds. It did not fall directly, but instead let out a deep hum, like the sigh of a demon from hell. Countless demonic hands from hell stretched out from the blade and waved incessantly through the air.

Dugu Bo stared fixedly at the Angel Demon Sword. Such power was no weaker than the eighth soul skill unleashed by a Titled Douluo.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Avatar!"

Dugu Bo's entire body instantly transformed into a jade-green Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor opened its enormous jaws and fired a green beam containing the most extreme poison at the Angel Demon Sword.

This was his ninth soul skill, Jade Phosphorus Divine Light!

This strike alone was enough to destroy an entire city.

"Boom—!"

Jade Phosphorus Divine Light and the Angel Demon Sword collided violently in midair. Under the impact of Jade Phosphorus Divine Light, the Angel Demon Sword paused slightly, while the demonic tentacles on its blade were completely corroded by the poison.

The black patterns flickered faintly. Moments later, the patterns completely went dark, and the Angel Demon Sword was gradually pushed back into the clouds by Jade Phosphorus Divine Light.

This was already the Six-Winged Fallen Angel's strongest physical attack, and it consumed an enormous amount of power. Di Lintian could vaguely feel that the Soul Power within his body was nearing exhaustion.

In truth, he still had one move he had not used: the domain he had deployed at the very beginning, the Corridor of Heart Prison.

The Corridor of Heart Prison possessed three abilities:

First: within this domain, it could appear anywhere at will.

Second: within this space, it could not be injured. All damage it received would be borne by the domain until the domain could no longer sustain itself and shattered.

Third: the origin of this domain's name. Through the Corridor of Heart Prison, it could twist an enemy's memories and make them witness what they least wished to happen.

After all, Dugu Bo was not an enemy. He himself had intruded into Dugu Bo's herb garden, and he himself had attacked without a word. Besides, Dugu Bo was Dugu Yan's grandfather.

Di Lintian did not use this move on him. Otherwise, with the spiritual power he had retained from his hundred-thousand-year transformation, he could have made Dugu Bo sink forever into the illusion he was most unwilling to face.

If it had been Tang San and the others, or Spirit Hall, Di Lintian would have used this move. No... Spirit Hall would not do anymore. He had to call it Pope Palace.

Perhaps in a few years, even Pope Palace would no longer do.

"Crack—!"

The sound of shattering glass rang out as the mirrored space broke apart.

Di Lintian and Qian Renxue landed on the ground beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Both were pale, clearly having consumed too much Soul Power.

Dugu Bo also released his Martial Soul Possession. Having just used his Martial Soul Avatar and ninth soul skill, he had expended a great deal as well, but that was not the key reason he released his Martial Soul Possession.

"Come out, all of you. Don't make this old man invite you." Dugu Bo spoke toward the sky.

In truth, Dugu Bo had not noticed anyone hiding in the shadows at all. But he had remembered who Lin Tian was. Wasn't he the captain of the Imperial Dou Team, the young master of Sky Dragon Pavilion whom Yan Yan was always talking about?

The Red Fire and Mystic Water teachers Yan Yan had mentioned must surely be hiding nearby.

"He found us?" Snake Lance pointed at Dugu Bo and asked uncertainly.

"Probably. No matter how weak this old poisoner is, he is still a Titled Douluo. It's possible that he noticed you." Red Fire nodded.

"What do you mean by that?" Pufferfish Douluo glared furiously.

"Nothing. I'm just saying you're too weak." Mystic Water spread his hands indifferently.

"Good! Good! Good!" Snake Lance Douluo's Martial Soul appeared in his hand. "Do you want to fight?"

"Sure." The aura of a Super Douluo erupted from Mystic Water's body.

"Calm down. We got carried away just now." Pufferfish smiled awkwardly, finally recognizing the gap in their strength.

The next moment, the four of them flashed and appeared before Dugu Bo.

"?"

Dugu Bo looked at the four people who had suddenly appeared. Was his herb garden really this popular? Why had both Sky Dragon Pavilion and Spirit Hall come knocking?

His herb garden probably could not be kept safe today. What would Yan Yan do in the future?

At this thought, Dugu Bo made up his mind. Even if he had to throw away this old life of his, he would protect the herb garden.

"Rein in your auras. What if you damage my Immortal Herbs?" Di Lintian pressed both hands downward. "Also, who told you to come out?"

The four of them simultaneously extended a finger and pointed at Dugu Bo.

"Th-this..."

Dugu Bo suffered inwardly, truly suffered. Why did he have to put on that act? He regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself.

"Alright, alright, disperse." Di Lintian waved his hand.

Red Fire and Mystic Water vanished instantly. Snake Lance and Pufferfish glanced at Qian Renxue, and after seeing her nod, they too returned to the shadows.

Only after the four Titled Douluo disappeared did Dugu Bo let out a long breath. Then he remembered that during the battle, Di Lintian seemed to have mentioned his poisoning.

"Senior Dugu, you are Dugu Yan's grandfather, and I do not wish to become enemies with you. But this treasured land is too important, so let us make a deal." Di Lintian spoke slowly. "I will give you a method to delay the outbreak of your poison, and I will help Dugu Yan completely remove the poison from her body. This treasured land will belong to me."

"What do you say?"

In truth, the price Di Lintian was offering was only to help Dugu Bo delay the poison's outbreak. He would even use Tang San's method: transferring the poison into his soul bones.

The Nine Abysses Dao Treasury also contained records of this, though they concerned transferring Chill poison. Still, it could likewise be used to transfer the poison within Dugu Bo's body.

As for Dugu Yan, Di Lintian had long planned to give her an Immortal Herb and help her Martial Soul evolve.

"As long as you can cure Dugu Yan's poison, this old man will give you this herb garden."

Dugu Bo did not hesitate in the slightest. If Di Lintian could delay the poison's outbreak and let him watch Dugu Yan grow stronger without being troubled by poison, then even in death, he could rest in peace.
