Spoils of War—Whale Dragon

Of course, as Soul Sages themselves, Tuoba Lan and Hu Yanlie also possessed extremely strong defenses.

They were simply better at resisting Soul Power attacks.

Now that they were facing the Jade Phosphor Scarlet Poison, which targeted Spiritual Power,

the first one unable to hold out was Hu Yanlie, who was focused solely on fleeing.

His mind was being eroded by the poison, and his steps had become disordered.

"Hu Yanlie's death by poison is only a matter of time. As for Tuoba Lan, he truly lives up to his White Armored Holy Dragon Martial Soul. His will is firm, and his strength is formidable!"

Old Snake set Dugu Feng down.

His figure flashed, transforming into a Ghostly Shadow.

He actually approached the massive White Armored Holy Dragon alone.

Tuoba Lan began to panic.

He hated this kind of enemy the most.

The key was that he could not find his opponent.

His entire body was also covered by Poison Fog that resembled a domain.

Boom! Boom!

Streams of White Breath exploded aimlessly throughout the forest. Then he locked onto a direction and braced both claws against the ground.

The earth trembled, and two enormous cracks appeared. Tuoba Lan soared into the air.

He refused to believe that his speed could not carry him out of the poison's range.

This was his opponent's home ground. The longer this continued, the greater the chance of being poisoned. He had to leap out of the Poison Fog's range.

Based on his judgment, an attack spreading Poison Fog over such a vast area would consume a great deal of Soul Power.

His opponent could not possibly use it countless times.

As he soared through the sky, the red poison was indeed much thinner here.

This made Tuoba Lan breathe a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, a figure suddenly enlarged within his Dragon Eyes.

The figure was a dwarf.

Compared with the several-dozen-meter-long body of his White Armored Earth Dragon, it was practically an ant beside an elephant.

The dwarf appeared diagonally above his head.

"Exploding Poison!"

A purple-and-red energy sphere exploded directly, blasting into the White Armored Holy Dragon's head.

"You White Armored Holy Dragon, just stay down there obediently and wait until your mind becomes muddled before quietly dying. It won't be painful.

"Look at Hu Yanlie below. Look at him.

"His arms and legs have already been corroded.

"He isn't dead yet, but his Spiritual Power has no idea that he's already been poisoned. He's still running, believing he can escape.

"He'll believe he can escape until the moment he dies.

"And you? You just had to run out. How does it feel now? Bear the pain—the pain of regretting ever coming into this world."

Old Snake the Chatterbox was truly capable of driving people to despair.

As his voice faded, he had already reached a treetop and vanished into it.

Meanwhile, black light spread across the entire head of the enormous White Armored Holy Dragon.

Just as Little Snake had said, once the poison entered an enemy's body, all they had to do was wait for the enemy to die.

What Old Snake had just used was his Sixth Soul Skill, Exploding Poison, formed by condensing Jade Phosphor Purple Poison and Jade Phosphor Scarlet Poison. It rapidly exploded upon making contact with the enemy.

It was used to break through defenses.

The poison itself possessed powerful corrosive properties. After exploding, as long as it caused even the slightest injury, all the poison could seep in along the wound.

Tuoba Lan was now in precisely this situation.

Although his entire body was covered in White Scales and his defenses were extremely strong,

his Facial Features and similar areas were weak points.

The poison gradually seeped inside.

"Aaaah!"

Just as Old Snake had said, the pain descended.

It was the same pain as when the poison attacked, and Tuoba Lan could not endure it at all.

His body thrashed continuously.

The enormous body of the White Armored Earth Dragon went berserk, smashing everything around him to pieces.

After only a few breaths, he could no longer maintain his Martial Soul Avatar.

He crashed to the ground.

Another short while later, his entire body began to rot. He gradually reverted to human form, then turned into black water.

Hu Yanlie died earlier than Tuoba Lan—and without realizing it.

He had indeed suffered less pain than Tuoba Lan.

The forest fell silent.

After quite some time, Old Snake and Dugu Feng appeared. The two of them were still cautiously concealed within a treetop.

But their four eyes glowed with a faint green light, as if admiring the results of this battle.

There was a hint of smugness on Old Snake's face.

"Young Master, this is why my Dugu Family can rank among the Seven Great Families and control the Great Soul Arena.

"No family is willing to go against my Dugu Family. Unless they are certain they can exterminate every member of our family, they will face endless death!

"Killing people is our profession!" Old Snake drew a deep breath, like some enlightened master, his tone filled with pride.

"Stop spouting nonsense. There is a Titled Douluo in the Sunset Forest. Hurry up, clean up the battlefield, and leave!" Dugu Feng was speechless. Dugu Bo was very likely in the Sunset Forest.

The commotion from the battle just now had been considerable. He did not want to stay here for another moment.

Old Snake shook his head regretfully and began walking around the battlefield.

Powerful poison spread out, turning all traces of blood and the corpses into ash.

Naturally, Old Snake also retracted the poison he had left behind.

He knew very well that the people who had died were experts from the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, with Spirit Hall involved behind them.

As for Xiahou Mang, he had once been an affiliate of the Clear Sky Sect. Although the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion, its strength could not be underestimated.

This matter had to be handled without leaving a trace.

A moment later, the two of them vanished from the Sunset Forest.

On the way back to the city, Old Snake did not choose to ride in a carriage.

Instead, he carried Dugu Feng and sped along like the wind.

Having obtained the Soul Bone without immediately returning to the estate would have been foolish.

Dugu Feng held a Ring and a Pendant, directly channeling his Soul Power into them.

He sensed the space within.

These were the Storage Soul Tools of Tuoba Lan and Hu Yanlie.

"Hmm? What's this?"

Dugu Feng looked for a long time but found nothing particularly useful, although there were plenty of valuable items.

Healing Herbs, Gold Soul Coins, rare metals, and weapons that were clearly made by a Grandmaster Craftsman.

However, none of them were of much use to him.

At last, he finally discovered something useful.

In Tuoba Lan's Storage Soul Tool, he found a golden-yellow crystal. It was the size of a palm, clear and translucent, like a golden crystal.

He recognized it at a glance. It was Whale Rubber.

Dragons were lustful, and Tuoba Lan certainly had some unusual tastes.

Judging by the color of this piece of Whale Rubber, it was at least three thousand years old.

With a motion of Dugu Feng's Soul Power, the Whale Rubber appeared in his hand.

Old Snake quickly sensed it and immediately revealed an expression that said they both understood each other. "Young Master, this piece of Whale Rubber is very high quality. Save half for Little Snake. He's reached the age where he needs to continue the family line.

"You don't know this, but I began taking wives at the age of twelve and worked at it for twenty years before I had Little Snake.

"The hardships involved were nothing but tears of bitterness!"

When Dugu Feng thought of that cold-blooded killer, Little Snake, having to work hard to marry and have children, he was instantly speechless.

But he also knew this was a tradition of the Dugu Family.

On the first day after he transmigrated, Dugu Shuo had told him in the Ancestral Hall that he had only managed to have him after marrying eight wives.

His mother, whom he had never met, had also been poisoned to death.

Every member of the Dugu Family who came into this world had defeated thousands upon thousands of competitors, emerging as the final victor.
