A Battle with Dugu Bo Seems Unavoidable

"Fuck, what else could this be besides that old poisoner Dugu Bo's private herb garden, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"That powerful ice-element energy Little White sensed wasn't some ice-type soul beast at all—it was an immortal-grade herb, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!"

She Xian slapped his forehead hard, an utterly helpless, wry smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Heavens, what kind of cosmic joke was this?

Not long ago,

he had secretly been planning how, once he became strong enough or found the right opportunity, he could rack his brains to claim Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

And how he could pluck away those peerless immortal herbs capable of defying fate and completely remaking a person.

Yet here he was!

He had only come out to find a suitable second soul ring.

But Little White had led him straight to Dugu Bo's doorstep!

At this rate, even if they did not want a conflict, one was inevitable.

This development... was downright dramatic!

"Xian'er, are you sure the ice-element soul beast your martial soul sensed is truly inside this poisonous barrier?"

Qian Renxue turned her head, her expression somewhat grave.

"Teacher, there's absolutely no mistake!"

After hearing She Xian's confirmation, Qian Renxue did not spare even a moment for further thought.

A cold glint flashed through her clear eyes as she swept her sleeve and commanded sharply:

"She Long, Ci Xue, Elders, attack! Tear open this poison barrier by force!"

"The young mistress has given the order! We obey!"

She Long's rough roar shook the mountains and forest.

A Violet-Cyan Serpent Spear glowing in dark green and violet-gold appeared in his grasp.

The surging Soul Power of a level ninety-two Titled Douluo howled forth like a tidal wave!

On the other side, Ci Xue Douluo also let out a furious shout.

A massive Pufferfish phantom rose from the ground, and its powerful shockwave instantly pulverized the surrounding ancient trees!

As the two Titled Douluo unleashed their pressure at once, the heavens and earth changed color.

But before She Long's serpent spear could strike the poison barrier—

"Bastards! Who dares cause trouble in this old man's territory?"

An incomparably sinister, hoarse roar, like countless venomous snakes flicking their tongues, exploded from the depths of the toxic mist!

"Boom!"

The sickly green poisonous mist churned violently, forming an enormous vortex.

A giant venomous serpent phantom dozens of meters long, its entire body gleaming like emerald jade, charged out in fury.

Its scarlet, blood-red snake eyes fixed tightly on the two figures hovering in midair as boundless poison qi turned into green rain that poured from the sky.

"That old poisoner? Dugu Bo?!"

She Long's pupils constricted slightly. He instantly drew back his spear and held it crosswise before him, smashing apart the splashing venom by force.

Ci Xue Douluo also revealed a look of surprise. Retreating half a step, he sneered, "I was wondering who had such an impressive presence. So it's the Jade Phosphorous Douluo—the weakest in a fight and the best at running away!"

Dugu Bo slowly emerged atop the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's head.

His gaunt, skeletal face, which carried an eerie green glow, was filled with rage.

"She Long? Ci Xue?"

"How did people from Spirit Hall find their way into this old man's private forbidden grounds?"

Dugu Bo flicked out his forked tongue. Though furious, he remained cautious.

Against two Titled Douluo, he was absolutely no match.

But he would not lose in terms of presence.

"Leave at once if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, this old man will turn every last one of you into bloody pus!"

She Long lowered his serpent spear and retreated to Qian Renxue's side, saying gravely, "Young Mistress, this is likely the old poisoner's cultivation grounds."

"If we wish to enter, we will likely have to fight him today."

"Young Mistress, what should we do?"

Qian Renxue, wearing a mask, furrowed her brows almost imperceptibly.

Dugu Bo was a lone Titled Douluo, beyond Spirit Hall's control.

Rashly fighting him did not suit her patient plan of disguising herself as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince.

But when she lowered her head and saw She Xian beside her,

the last trace of hesitation in Qian Renxue's heart vanished instantly!

As long as it was something Xian'er needed, let alone Dugu Bo's herb garden—

even if it belonged to the Heavenly King himself, she would forcibly tear off a piece!

"Attack!"

Qian Renxue spoke coldly, her tone leaving no room for doubt:

"Force him to yield!"

"We obey the young mistress's command!"

She Long burst into hearty laughter as golden light erupted from his body. "Good!"

"Young Mistress, take Xian'er back!"

"This old poisoner's toxic mist spreads quickly. Don't let it hurt Xian'er!"

Before She Xian could react, he felt his waist tighten.

Qian Renxue had already stretched out her slender jade-like hand and pulled his entire body into her embrace!

The wind howled past his ears as Qian Renxue held him and rapidly retreated.

Rumble!

After they had withdrawn several miles, earth-shaking thunderous blasts erupted.

Violet-cyan spear shadows pierced the clouds.

The Pufferfish's deadly poison collided violently with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's sea of venom.

The entire Sunset Forest trembled!

It seemed their battle had already begun.

Pressed tightly against Qian Renxue's chest, She Xian's lips occasionally brushed against his beautiful teacher's fair, jade-like neck, making Qian Renxue's body stiffen almost imperceptibly.

But She Xian had no time to savor this thrillingly intimate contact.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he ranted inwardly, Fuck, Teacher, you spoil me way too much!

She Xian had not expected Qian Renxue to truly send his grandfather and Ci Xue Douluo to gang up on Dugu Bo.

This was a group battle between Titled Douluo!

This domineering indulgence, worthy of an exalted young prince, moved him deeply.

But entertaining as the spectacle was,

She Xian's mood gradually grew heavy.

His mind raced as he considered how to handle this unexpected battle between Titled Douluo.

This has gotten out of hand.

That old poisoner Dugu Bo was famously sinister, cunning, and vindictive.

Once Grandfather pinned him down and gave him a thorough beating today, this grudge would be set in stone.

It was not thieves that were frightening, but thieves who kept watching you.

If that old bastard went mad in secret later and found an opportunity to ambush them or cause trouble, that would be a major headache.

That old poisoner was capable of even such acts against heaven's will as slaughtering an entire city. He really could do something like that.

Since they had already made a move, they absolutely could not let him go.

Either kill him outright!

Or subdue him completely!

But killing a Titled Douluo would come at too great a cost.

Subduing Dugu Bo was indeed the option that maximized their gains.

There was only one thing that old bastard Dugu Bo cared about most.

She Xian stroked his chin, a sly and calculating gleam flashing through his eyes.

The backlash of his poison cultivation!

Both he and his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, suffered torment from their poison cultivation.

In the original Douluo Continent story, Tang San had subdued Dugu Bo by offering to cure Dugu Bo and his granddaughter of their poison.

Judging from the current situation, Dugu Bo should be no match for She Long and Ci Xue together.

She Xian wondered whether, after his grandfather and Ci Xue defeated Dugu Bo, he should use this to subdue him.

But how exactly was he supposed to say it? She Xian had a headache.

I'm just a weakling who hasn't even obtained his second soul ring yet.

How am I supposed to bluff a level ninety-one old poisoner?

She Xian rubbed his temples in frustration.

He chose to lie in Qian Renxue's fragrant embrace and conduct a round of brainstorming.
