The Scarlet Poison Filled the Sky

Xiahou Mang's childhood echoed through his mind. He had also grown up innocent, carefree, and without a worry in the world.

That was until he accidentally obtained a Soul Bone while absorbing a Spirit Ring.

From then on, he had embarked on the path to becoming a powerhouse.

Time passed so quickly. Even his family had been destroyed.

A cold glint flickered in his eyes.

As long as he captured this child, he definitely would not die here. He still had to cultivate to the Soul Douluo level, then to the Titled Douluo level, and rebuild his family.

Xiahou Mang's expression twisted viciously as he was about to seize the child.

But the child actually stood up.

He grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. "One!"

Xiahou Mang froze. What was he doing?

"Two!"

Was he counting?

"Three. Fall!"

Xiahou Mang suddenly felt the strength draining from his body. His right hand, which held the great saber, drooped limply.

His mind grew unbearably drowsy. Black blood streamed from his seven orifices, refusing to stop.

At the same time, his entire body was suffused with purple-green light.

The red saber radiance blooming from his body vanished instantly.

His entire body plunged headfirst into the earth.

Then, visible to the naked eye, his skin and bones turned into smoke and dust. Everything returned to dust, and earth returned to earth.

Dugu Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

He knew Old Snake's poison was powerful, but he had never expected it to be this powerful.

The reason he had laughed earlier was naturally because Old Snake had already told him that Xiahou Mang would definitely be poisoned to death within three steps.

The surrounding area had been filled with Jade Phosphor Purple Poison by Old Snake.

Otherwise, how could Old Snake have felt confident about Dugu Feng's safety?

Xiahou Mang was laughable. He thought he had everything under control and wanted to capture Dugu Feng.

But seeing Xiahou Mang's miserable state still left Dugu Feng shaken by the power of the Jade Phosphor Purple Poison.

Before his death, Xia Hongmang had not even known how he had died. From sensing that he had been poisoned to his death, only three breaths had passed.

Dugu Feng sighed softly, then leaped down from the giant tree and arrived at the place where Xiahou Mang had died.

A ball of multicolored light floated there.

Without needing to think, this was Xiahou Mang's Soul Bone.

This was Dugu Feng's first time coming into contact with a Soul Bone. He examined it carefully. It was a miniature skull, roughly circular, about three inches in diameter, and shimmering with multicolored light.

It was extremely alluring.

This was the Soul Bone that the Huyan Family and the Tuoba Family had pursued relentlessly.

Dugu Feng picked it up and placed it in his Storage Belt.

Not far away.

The White Armored Holy Dragon Spirit Master and Hu Yanlie were both stunned.

Xiahou Mang had actually died without making a sound.

"A member of the Dugu Family?" Hu Yanlie exclaimed in shock.

"I am Tuoba Lan of the Holy Dragon Sect. Jade Phosphor Crown, if we have disturbed you, Senior, we hope you will forgive us. We will leave at once!" Beside him, the White Armored Holy Dragon Spirit Saint bowed without hesitation.

His first reaction was that Dugu Bo was here.

Considering Xiahou Mang's death and Dugu Feng's green hair and green eyes, the first person he thought of was Dugu Bo, who had become a Titled Douluo two years ago. He must be nearby.

This was also the greatest event in the Spirit Master World since the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion.

Even Dugu Bo as a Soul Douluo had already given countless people a headache, let alone Dugu Bo at the Titled Douluo level.

Tuoba Lan cursed inwardly. How did we run into this Old Poison here? Old Poison was moody and unpredictable, accustomed to eliminating every last trace of his enemies. He never showed mercy when killing people.

The Soul Master beside Tuoba Lan and Hu Yanlie both wore terrified expressions. They bowed deeply. "We hope Jade Phosphor Crown will forgive us. We will surely visit your residence and offer our thanks another day."

Even now, Tuoba Lan and Hu Yanlie still could not sense where their enemy was.

They could only see Dugu Feng, yet could not detect Old Snake.

But clearly, the person who had killed Xiahou Mang was definitely not Dugu Feng.

Dugu Feng was somewhat speechless. Could the Dugu Family only make them think of Dugu Bo?

The Poison Cultivator Branch and the Cultivating Serpent Branch had a deep feud. How could the other families possibly know the details so clearly?

Therefore, they regarded Dugu Bo and Dugu Shuo as one and the same. It was not surprising that they had suddenly thought of Dugu Bo.

"You're far too naive. Now that you've seen the Soul Bone fall into our hands, you still dream of leaving?"

Dugu Feng stood there with a smile, looking at the people in the distance.

Old Snake had already made his move from the shadows. Now that they had obtained the Soul Bone, whether to avenge Old Scorpion or to keep the news from spreading—

They could not let a single person escape.

"You arrogant brat! If this really were Jade Phosphor Crown, why would he hide his head and show only his tail? Since Jade Phosphor Crown isn't here, today will be your death day!"

Tuoba Lan suddenly roared. His entire body transformed into a Giant White Earth Dragon.

The transformation brought about by the Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul Avatar, was extraordinarily thorough.

He directly became a gigantic earth dragon, its body stretching several dozen meters long.

Its entire body was covered in basin-sized white scales.

Its enormous dragon head swayed two long whiskers, radiating an air of utter supremacy.

The dragon opened its huge maw, and a White Breath carrying powerful waves of light shot toward Dugu Feng.

Purple light flashed across the battlefield, and Old Snake appeared.

He seized Dugu Feng and, with a single flicker, vanished into the treetops.

"Tuoba Lan, your Holy Dragon Sect has pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall, and you've grown accustomed to acting arrogantly and tyrannically. You've probably forgotten why my Dugu Family can rank among the Seven Great Powers that control the Great Soul Arena!" Old Snake gave a sinister chuckle.

His voice seemed to come from every direction.

No one could determine his location.

The only thing visible was that the two Soul Emperors behind Tuoba Lan were convulsing. Enveloped in purple light, they had already melted into puddles of pus in a short while.

Hu Yanlie, standing to the side, wore a terrified expression. Although he was certain that the person hidden in the darkness was not Dugu Bo—

He was definitely an expert from the Dugu Family.

The deaths of Xiahou Mang and the two Soul Emperors had already proven how terrifying this poisonous attack was.

The Elephant Armor Sect and the Dugu Family were both in the Heaven Dou Empire. They had even cooperated before to deal with the Xiahou Family.

Naturally, they knew how powerful people like Dugu Shuo from the Dugu Family were.

Looking at Tuoba Lan standing at the front,

Hu Yanlie's eyes shifted, and he fled backward.

The Diamond Mammoth, which was as bulky as a tank, actually became somewhat more agile!

The Elephant Armor Sect had indeed been courted by Spirit Hall, and Sect Master Hu Yan Zhen also intended to submit to Spirit Hall. This operation was a collaboration between both sides.

They had not expected to run into people from the Dugu Family.

"Scarlet Poison Sky!"

A cold shout rang out.

The entire forest began to glow faintly red. The crimson radiance was like an endless temptation, making people lose themselves in confusion.

Hu Yanlie's expression turned cold. A layer of intense Yellow Earth Light rose from his body, enveloping him completely.

The Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul was absolutely one of the finest defensive Martial Souls. In terms of defense, even though he was only a Soul Sage, some Soul Douluos could not compare to him.

"Young Master, watch carefully. The Jade Phosphor Scarlet Poison's most profound state is an attack on an enemy's Spiritual Power. As long as he exposes his Five Senses, the poison will invade him, gradually poisoning him until he loses his reason!"

Old Snake was teaching Dugu Feng from the darkness.

What he was displaying was precisely the advanced poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent—the Jade Phosphor Scarlet Poison.

Dugu Feng watched nervously. Old Snake's Fifth Spirit Ability, Scarlet Poison Sky, was an area-of-effect poison attack.

It had already enveloped the entire forest.
