Immortal Herb Redemption Code

Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. Unable to dodge in time, he was pierced by Yang Wudi's spear.

Blood sprayed out. Dugu Bo grunted in pain and retreated rapidly.

"Damn it! Why has my poison lost its effect?!"

Dugu Bo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his vertical pupils filled with shock.

"Wonderful! Keep going, keep going!"

Yang Wudi did not care about any of that. He simply raised his spear and continued attacking.

"Do you really think this old man is a pushover?!"

The seventh black Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Jade-Scaled True Body!"

Behind him, the phantom of the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor suddenly solidified, and Dugu Bo's aura surged wildly.

The massive serpent tail lashed toward Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi's eyes were filled with excitement. Completely unconcerned about whether he would be injured, the tip of his Soul-Breaking Spear flashed as the fifth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Break!"

Black flames ignited around Yang Wudi, greatly increasing his attack power.

The spear tip collided with the scales on the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor's tail, erupting in a shower of fierce sparks.

This time, Yang Wudi was sent flying by the Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor. After all, Dugu Bo was still a Titled Douluo, and he remained extremely powerful after activating his martial soul true body.

Yang Wudi was blasted away and embedded in a tree.

He tore himself free from the tree, and all else had vanished from his eyes, leaving only a thirst for battle.

"Wonderful! Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

He used his seventh Soul Skill as well.

Black flames blazed across the Soul-Breaking Spear, and his aura soared sharply.

Yang Wudi roared and charged Dugu Bo head-on.

Dugu Bo was now suffering miserably.

His poison was ineffective against Yang Wudi, and he could not match his opponent in raw attack power.

Yang Wudi fought like a madman willing to risk his life, attacking without defending and forcing Dugu Bo back step by step.

By now, Dugu Bo had already suffered considerable injuries.

This was the first time he had been beaten into such a miserable state by an eighty-first-rank Soul Douluo despite his cultivation as a Titled Douluo.

Gritting his teeth, he began circulating his soul power and activating his eighth Soul Ring.

Bing Yekong noticed this.

"Not good. We can't let him unleash his eighth Soul Skill!"

Dugu Bo's eighth Soul Skill was Time Freeze. If he managed to use it, things would become troublesome.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bing Yekong summoned his martial soul.

As the Heavenly Frost Sword appeared, Bing Yekong desperately drew upon the origin soul power of the Ice Dragon King martial soul.

The two streams of soul power gradually merged, and an intense wave of soul power erupted from Bing Yekong's body.

Sword energy crisscrossed around him, mixed with sword intent.

An ice dragon gradually took shape.

After practicing for so long, although Bing Yekong had yet to develop Profound Ice Dragon Soar into a martial soul fusion skill, its power was already not to be underestimated.

More importantly, this ice dragon carried the dragon might of the Ice Dragon King.

"Go, Profound Ice Dragon Soar!"

Accompanied by a majestic dragon's roar, the ice dragon suddenly flew toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo was fighting Yang Wudi when, the instant he heard the dragon's roar, his Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor martial soul actually froze for a moment.

It was suppression from the level of martial souls and the source of bloodlines.

The Ice Dragon King possessed a Dragon King-level bloodline. The snake-type Jade-Scaled Serpent Emperor martial soul was bound to suffer immense suppression.

If Dugu Bo's soul power rank had not been so much higher than Bing Yekong's, it would not have merely frozen for an instant.

Yet that instant was enough for Yang Wudi to seize the opportunity and pierce Dugu Bo with his spear.

Dugu Bo's eighth Soul Skill was interrupted as well. His face darkened as he looked at Yang Wudi and Bing Yekong.

He clutched the wound on his abdomen and glared grimly at the two of them.

"This old man seems to bear no grudge against you. Why are you attacking me?"

"Bullshit! You old bastard attacked us first, and now you're blaming us?!"

Dugu Bo was left speechless by Yang Wudi's retort.

Bing Yekong stepped forward at this moment.

"Senior Dugu, we did indeed come to find you, but we did not come to cause you trouble. You attacked before hearing us out. We were forced to defend ourselves, and had no other choice."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly. "This old man does not know you. Why have you come looking for me?!"

Bing Yekong did not answer. Instead, he looked at Yang Wudi.

It was time to enter the Immortal Herb Redemption Code.

"Senior Yang, can you see his problem?"

At Bing Yekong's words, Yang Wudi instinctively looked toward Dugu Bo.

Yang Wudi had dealt with poisons for many years. Upon closer inspection, he indeed noticed something wrong.

The blood flowing from Dugu Bo's abdominal wound was red tinged with dark green.

Moreover, when the blood dripped onto the ground, it even corroded the soil.

This was a sign that the poison had seeped into his very bones and had begun affecting his blood.

"This guy is poisoned?"

Bing Yekong nodded.

Yang Wudi had not deliberately lowered his voice, so Dugu Bo naturally heard what he said.

The moment he heard someone claim he was poisoned, Dugu Bo immediately became anxious.

"W-What are you saying?! This old man is the Poison Douluo, yet you say I'm poisoned?! How ridiculous!"

Bing Yekong looked at the flicker of panic in Dugu Bo's eyes and smiled faintly. "Senior Dugu, Senior Yang and I both study medicine. You need not keep denying it. Besides, we can cure your poison."

Unlike Tang San in the original story, he did not reveal Dugu Bo's symptoms to gain his trust, because there was no need.

He only needed to appear calm and in control, and Dugu Bo's mental defenses would collapse without being attacked.

Sure enough, after hearing that they could cure him, Dugu Bo stopped arguing and fell silent.

He looked at Bing Yekong, at this young man, his green vertical pupils attempting to see through his heart.

Unfortunately, he could not.

Bing Yekong's eyes were like ice, and Dugu Bo could not sense the slightest warmth from them.

"If my information is correct, you still have a granddaughter. She is at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. We can cure her poison as well."

Dugu Bo was not afraid of death. What he could not let go of most was Dugu Yan, his granddaughter and his only remaining family in this world.

"Y-You can truly cure the poison in this old man and Yan Yan?"

Dugu Bo's attitude had already softened, and his tone was full of hope.

Bing Yekong nodded. "Of course."

"What do you want? This old man himself, or something else?"

Dugu Bo knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. If they were willing to help him, they surely had an ulterior motive.

"I like talking to straightforward people like you, Senior Dugu. But my request is not demanding. I only need you to become a guest elder in my faction, holding an idle post. Your freedom will not be restricted, and I will see to your retirement."

Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised. He had thought they would make use of his cultivation as a Titled Douluo for some difficult task, but he had not expected them to merely ask him to take an idle position.

"That's all?"

Bing Yekong nodded. "Of course. I only want to make a friend of you, Senior."

Then he glanced toward the depths of the poisonous mist. "If there is anything else, I would like to take a look in there. Is that alright?"

Dugu Bo nodded. "Follow this old man."

He had long known that they had discovered the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, so he simply stopped hiding it.
