Crushing Victory!! The Blue Silver Emperor's Terrifying Power!

"Your poison wasn't strong enough."

Tang Feng curled his five fingers inward.

Dozens of Dark Blue Vines surged across the ground toward Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan immediately dodged to the side.

She had barely taken two steps when another mass of vines burst from the ground ahead of her.

To the left.

To the right.

Behind her.

Dark Blue Grass leaves rapidly spread across the courtyard.

Dugu Yan's second Spirit Ring lit up beneath her feet.

"Second Soul Skill!"

"Jade Phosphor Blue Poison!"

Blue-green poisonous mist suddenly spread outward.

Several incoming vines were enveloped by the toxic mist, and their growth immediately slowed.

Seizing the chance, Dugu Yan slipped through the gap between two vines.

She did not charge toward Tang Feng.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul possessed powerful venom, but it was not suited for prolonged close-range combat.

As long as she expanded the poisonous mist, Tang Feng would be affected sooner or later.

A vast amount of blue-green mist spread in all directions.

Visibility in the courtyard was quickly obscured.

Tang Feng was also engulfed by the serpent venom.

Dugu Yan retreated to Ye Lingling's side.

"Lingling, prepare to heal."

Ye Lingling nodded lightly.

The first Spirit Ring of the Nine-Hearted Begonia lit up.

White light fell upon Dugu Yan, rapidly restoring the stamina she had expended earlier.

Tang Feng stood in the center of the poisonous mist.

The Ruination Blue Silver Emperor coiled around him, continuously devouring the serpent venom that approached his body.

Dark-purple patterns repeatedly collided with the emerald poison light.

The power of ruination could break down toxins.

Yet the amount of serpent venom continued to increase.

Dugu Yan watched the figure within the poisonous mist.

"Your Blue Silver Grass can devour serpent venom, but you're only level twenty-two."

"I'd like to see how long you can last."

Tang Feng did not answer.

Blue-gold light suddenly shone from within his right leg.

A pure aura of life surged from the Spirit Bone.

The instant that aura appeared, the blue-green poisonous mist retreated slightly in all directions.

Tang Feng's body slowly rose from the ground.

One foot.

Three feet.

Ten feet.

He used neither vines nor any object beneath his feet.

He rose directly into the air.

Blue-gold light flowed upward from his right leg, completely isolating the poisonous mist around him.

Dugu Yan abruptly raised her head.

"A Spirit Bone?!"

Ye Lingling likewise looked into the air.

Ordinary Spirit Bones could not allow a Spirit Master to fly.

Unless that Spirit Bone itself came from a flying soul beast, or possessed an extremely high age.

Tang Feng's right leg Spirit Bone radiated a dense aura of life.

The pressure from that Spirit Bone far surpassed any Spirit Bone they had ever seen.

Dugu Yan recalled the knowledge of Spirit Bones her grandfather had once mentioned.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone could only grant one fixed ability.

Only after reaching a higher age could a Spirit Bone possibly possess both recovery and flight abilities.

She stared at that blue-gold radiance.

A judgment that prevented her from remaining calm surfaced in her mind.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Tang Feng hovered above the courtyard.

The blue-green serpent venom could only spread along the ground and could not touch him at all.

Dugu Yan immediately raised her hand.

An emerald snake phantom condensed from poisonous mist shot into the air.

Tang Feng pressed both hands downward.

The yellow Spirit Ring and black Spirit Ring beneath his feet rose one after another.

The instant the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared, black light covered the entire courtyard.

Ye Lingling's Nine-Hearted Begonia swayed gently.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent phantom behind Dugu Yan was also suppressed by the pressure, its movements briefly halting.

"A Ten Thousand Year second Spirit Ring?"

Dugu Yan finally understood why Tang Feng had never taken her challenge seriously.

Nine years old.

Level twenty-two.

Yet his second Spirit Ring had already reached ten thousand years.

The black Spirit Ring beneath Tang Feng's feet suddenly lit up.

Boom!

The ground around the courtyard split open at the same time.

Nine thick Destruction Vines surged into the sky from nine directions.

Every vine was far thicker than before.

Dark-purple star patterns rapidly flowed along the grass leaves and vine bodies.

Between the nine main vines, countless thinner vines split off.

Above.

On the ground.

Front, back, left, and right.

The entire courtyard was completely sealed by Dark Blue Vines.

Dugu Yan immediately moved closer to Ye Lingling.

She pushed her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul to its limit.

Dense blue-green poisonous mist condensed into a ring and continuously slammed into the surrounding vines.

Serpent venom fell onto the vines.

Hissing sounds rang out in succession.

Large patches of corrosion appeared across the surfaces of the main vines.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up.

"It worked!"

All the Soul Power in her body poured into her second Spirit Ring.

The corrosive power of Jade Phosphor Blue Poison rose once again.

Several thin vines could not withstand the poison's corrosion and snapped in the middle.

Yet the broken ends did not wither.

More thin Dark Blue Vines grew from the severed points.

One became three.

The three intertwined.

The gaps corroded by the poisonous mist were filled by new vines in the blink of an eye.

Dugu Yan's expression changed.

"How are there more the more I burn?"

The Ruination Blue Silver Emperor itself possessed the attributes of corrosion, devouring, and ruination.

Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom could damage ordinary plant Martial Souls, but it could not destroy its foundation.

Every wisp of serpent venom devoured by the vines would be transformed into power that sustained their growth.

The Soul Power Tang Feng had expended was also rapidly recovering.

[Vampiric Habit triggered!]

The Dark Blue Vines grew even more densely.

Tang Feng looked down at the two trapped in the center.

"It's over."

He clenched his five fingers at once.

[Jeweled Gauntlet triggered!]

[Fivefold Soul Skill critical hit!]

The dark-purple star patterns on the nine main vines suddenly blossomed.

The entire sealed area instantly contracted.

Dugu Yan still wanted to release poisonous mist.

But one thin vine had already wrapped around her right hand.

A second vine coiled around her waist.

A third and fourth vine locked down her legs respectively.

The remaining vines closed in from all directions.

Dugu Yan activated her Soul Power, attempting to blast apart the restraints.

The dark-purple corrosive power seeped into her meridians first.

The Soul Power she had just gathered within her body was forcibly scattered.

Her arms were pulled to either side.

Her long legs were likewise pressed together and fixed by the vines.

Dugu Yan lost her balance, her body falling backward.

A main vine supported her from behind the waist, pinning her in place.

Her emerald hair spilled between the vines.

Her academy uniform clung tightly to her waist, its hem pressed down by Dark Blue Grass leaves.

She tried to move her wrists.

The vines immediately tightened slightly.

"Tang Feng!"

"Don't struggle."

Tang Feng did not continue increasing his strength.

"If you move again, your wrists will leave marks."

Dugu Yan lowered her head for a glance.

The places wrapped by the Dark Blue Vines were exactly where they had touched during her treatment three days ago.

The difference was that the vines had merely supported her wrists before.

Now, all four of her limbs were completely restrained by Star-Binding Annihilation.

Dugu Yan pressed her lips together.

At last, she stopped struggling.

On the other side.

Ye Lingling raised the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

The moment its first Spirit Ring lit up, several Dark Blue Vines rose from the ground.

The vines did not touch her body.

Their tips stopped half a foot in front of the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

One vine aimed at her wrist.

Two others stopped beside her shoulder and neck, and her waist respectively.

As long as Tang Feng continued activating his Soul Skill, Ye Lingling would likewise be restrained.

Ye Lingling looked at the vines before her.

The healing light of the Nine-Hearted Begonia gradually faded.

She took back her Martial Soul.

"I lost."

Tang Feng descended from midair.

The blue-gold glow around his right leg retreated into his body.

The black Spirit Ring vanished as well.

He raised a hand and dismissed the vines in front of Ye Lingling.

However, the Dark Blue Grass leaves wrapped around Dugu Yan's limbs and waist did not immediately loosen.

Dugu Yan raised her eyes.

"She already admitted defeat. Why are you still not letting me go?"

"Did you admit defeat?"

"It was two against one, and you still tied me up like this. What else could I say?"

"Then you haven't admitted defeat."
