Facing Dugu Bo

After Su Changqing finished speaking, Dugu Bo's figure appeared before him.

Su Changqing slowly opened his eyes. Facing the Title Douluo who was famous across the continent, he showed no fear. Instead, a look of understanding, as if he had expected this, appeared on his face.

"Junior Su Changqing greets Senior Poison Douluo."

He stood up and bowed respectfully, neither arrogant nor servile.

"You have good courage. To be able to act like this, knowing it's me," Dugu Bo said calmly.

At the same time, a powerful spiritual power swept over Su Changqing's body like a tide, as if probing for something.

"Hm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

He could feel that the power contained within the other party was by no means something a Soul Elder could possess! The degree of refinement even made him feel a sense of alarm.

"A Soul King at level fifty-something hiding their cultivation to fight in the Great Soul Arena, no wonder Yan Yan was defeated by you!"

As Dugu Bo's words fell, he seemed to understand everything.

He didn't want to know the reason why the other party was hiding their cultivation in the Great Soul Arena. He only knew that Su Changqing had made his granddaughter unhappy, and therefore, he had to die!

The pressure of a Title Douluo erupted, crushing down on Su Changqing like a mountain!

Immediately after, a green poisonous light shot silently towards Su Changqing's forehead.

A Soul King could be instantly killed with a single casual strike!

However, in the next moment, his eyes widened slightly!

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded. The green poisonous light should have spread outwards, corroding everything in the room, but the expected scene did not occur!

Instead, at the center of the explosion, dazzling golden light shot up into the sky, instantly dispelling and purifying the cold, poisonous gas in the room!

Following that, five Soul Rings appeared: purple, purple, black, black, black!

"What?!"

The indifference and killing intent on Dugu Bo's face were replaced by intense shock!

Such an outrageous configuration of Exceeding Spirit Rings, how was this possible?

Not even a hundred-year Soul Ring???

In the moment of his shock, Su Changqing moved.

"Self-Created Soul Skill, Blazing Heavenly Light Fist!"

"Buzz—"

Terrifying Light Element erupted, and the materialized giant fist shot directly towards Dugu Bo!

"Boom—"

A loud noise sounded. Dugu Bo raised his hand and blocked Su Changqing's attack.

"Sizzle—"

"Sizzle—"

Just as Dugu Bo thought he had blocked the attack, his hand suddenly felt excruciating pain, and his flesh and skin peeled off in an instant!

Dugu Bo exerted force and repelled Su Changqing.

"Such terrifying Light attribute, it naturally suppresses my snake venom. No wonder Yan Yan was defeated by you!"

Dugu Bo's expression was grim, and the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger!

"Boy, I can't let you live!"

Dugu Bo grunted, no longer holding back.

This Martial Soul that completely suppressed him had to die!

His Seventh Spirit Ring suddenly lit up, "Seventh Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body!"

Dark green light surged, and Dugu Bo's body instantly expanded, transforming into an incomparably huge, ferocious, and terrifying Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!

The terrifying pressure made the entire hotel tremble. If Dugu Bo hadn't deliberately controlled his domain, the entire building would have already turned into a poisonous wasteland.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body opened its mouth, and a green poisonous mist, a hundred times more potent than before, surged towards Su Changqing like a tsunami. This was a terrifyingly potent poison that could even corrode Soul Bones!

Facing a Title Douluo attacking with full force, Su Changqing also felt unprecedented pressure.

He dared not be negligent. The Light Soul Power within his body circulated at full strength, and golden light radiated from him, like a miniature sun.

"Fourth Spirit Ability, Holy Light Armor!"

"Fifth Spirit Ability, Phantom Light Divine Hammer!"

As the armor appeared, golden light condensed in Su Changqing's hand, forming a giant light hammer.

He swung the hammer!

"Rumble!"

The collision between the light hammer and the Serpent Emperor erupted with a world-shattering roar, unleashing an energy storm that instantly reduced the furniture and decorations in the room to dust!

Dugu Bo was horrified to discover that his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor True Body felt a stinging pain from the light hammer's attack, which was imbued with the ultimate Light Element. Even his protective poison barrier showed signs of being purified!

"What a powerful Martial Soul. Could this kid be the descendant of some reclusive great family?"

Dugu Bo's killing intent subsided somewhat at this thought.

The two engaged in a fierce battle within the confined space, golden light and poisonous mist clashing and interweaving with continuous roars.

Su Changqing pushed his Soul Power and the ultimate Light Element to their limits. Although at a disadvantage, he defended flawlessly, and his occasional counterattacks made Dugu Bo quite uncomfortable.

"Kid, I admit you are a rare genius, but the gap between a Soul King and a Title Douluo is definitely not something talent can bridge!"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's aura surged, causing Su Changqing's body to stiffen. The Holy Light Armor on him began to crack!

"Tell me where you come from."

"Poison Douluo senior, are you afraid?"

"Hah! I, Dugu Bo, have walked the world for years, and I've never learned what the word 'fear' means."

"Oh, then are you afraid of your granddaughter being poisoned to death?"

"What?!"

The moment these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in Dugu Bo's mind!

His enormous serpent eyes stared intently at Su Changqing within the golden light, filled with disbelief and uncertainty.

"What did you say?!"

Dugu Bo's voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling.

The poison backlash within Dugu Yan, inherited from her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, was his greatest hidden pain and worry, and one of the reasons for his increasingly erratic temper.

He had spent his entire life trying to solve this problem, but to no avail.

Su Changqing dispersed the light hammer in his hand, and the golden light around him slightly receded, but his vigilance did not relax.

He spoke, "To be frank, junior understands some herbs and can concoct an antidote to cure your family's Martial Soul defects."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's body trembled slightly, revealing his intense inner turmoil.

He stared fixedly at Su Changqing, trying to find any trace of deception in his eyes.

But Su Changqing's gaze was clear and candid, carrying an undeniable confidence.

The killing intent receded like a tide.

He slowly retracted his Martial Soul and landed before Su Changqing, looking at him with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Who... exactly are you? Why do you know Yan Yan's condition? And how can you say you can save her?"

Dugu Bo's voice was still hoarse, but it held less killing intent and more urgent inquiry.

"Also, I just wanted to kill you, yet you wish to help my family. What is your purpose? State your conditions."

Dugu Bo's expression calmed considerably. Having lived for so many years, he naturally knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

This person before him must be a prodigy from some reclusive family out for training, and approaching him must have a purpose.

Everything was too coincidental after Su Changqing claimed he could cure his entire family!
