Dugu Yan's Plea for Help, Dugu Bo's Life-or-Death Gamble

After the pillar of light vanished, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel had already been razed to the ground.

Even several nearby blocks had been completely destroyed.

Qian Renxue, who had reverted to Xue Qinghe's appearance, hid behind Shui Wuyou and trembled uncontrollably.

That was fucking terrifying!

Just the leaked aftershock had flattened several blocks. Fortunately, Shui Wuyou had placed a Divine Power barrier around her, allowing this weak, pitiful, helpless little rookie to survive.

"Is this the strength of a God King?"

"Just a trace of leaked aura and pressure, without even being deliberately aimed at me, nearly killed me!"

Xue Qinghe's face was deathly pale, and her entire body shook beyond her control.

When she looked at Shui Wuyou, her eyes were filled with awe and yearning.

She was in awe of Shui Wuyou's strength as a God King.

She yearned for the day when she could inherit the Angel Godhood and possess power of this level herself.

"Tsk! I still couldn't control it properly?"

Seeing the mess he had caused, Shui Wuyou shook his head helplessly.

In the end, he had underestimated the power of a God King and overestimated his current strength.

Though he had caused quite a commotion, fortunately there had been no casualties. He had also personally experienced the might of a God King, making this an exceptionally valuable experience.

At the very least, he now understood the insurmountable gulf between a First-Level God and a God King. Even a First-Level God wielding a Super Divine Artifact was likely no match for a God King.

No wonder that, in the original story, even the Sea God, despite wielding a Super Divine Artifact, had been so deferential when facing the God of Asura, a God King.

In the distance, the person in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel muttered under his breath.

"How terrifying! Is this the strength of a God King?"

"Just a trace of leaked aura and pressure directly destroyed several areas. Even the two Supreme Elders probably couldn't withstand it, could they?"

As a direct-line senior member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had personally witnessed the destructive power unleashed by the Sword and Bone Douluos when they went all out.

Even with Sect Master Ning Fengzhi's full support, the Sword and Bone Douluos working together probably could not easily destroy several blocks without harming anyone.

Compared to Lord Shui Wuyou, the Sword and Bone Douluos were nothing but roadside strays!

However, at that moment, Dugu Yan, dressed in a purple cheongsam dress with swollen red eyes that made it obvious she had cried her heart out, suddenly appeared before Shui Wuyou.

--Thud--

Dugu Yan dropped to her knees and slammed her forehead hard against the ground!

"Wuwuwu!"

"My lord, please save my grandfather!"

This sudden turn of events left everyone present slightly stunned!

Save Dugu Yan's grandfather?

Wasn't that Old Poison, Dugu Bo?

Could it be that Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo known as the one whose poison dominated the world, had met with trouble?

"Hiss..."

At the thought of that possibility, everyone could not help but suck in a breath, making an outstanding contribution to warming the Far North.

"Could Old Poison Dugu Bo have gone to the Frozen Forest too?"

Xue Qinghe stroked her chin, deep in thought.

The only possibility for someone to silently cripple Old Poison was the Ice Empress's earlier eruption of Divine Power in the Frozen Forest, which had frozen the Heaven Dou Mountain Range for thousands of miles.

Clearly, Dugu Bo had gone to the Frozen Forest. He had been lucky enough to survive, but he had also been severely wounded by Divine Power and was perhaps on the verge of death.

It had to be said that Qian Renxue, without having her intelligence reduced, was quite clever. She immediately guessed the whole sequence of events.

Shui Wuyou looked behind Dugu Yan and smiled meaningfully. "Old Poison, your granddaughter is begging me to save you!"

"I wonder what price you intend to pay for me to remove the Ice God's Divine Power from your body?"

Behind Dugu Yan stood a hunched, aged figure. It was none other than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, who had appeared only now!

Dugu Bo looked utterly wretched. His face was pale as paper, frost covered his entire body, and the bone-chilling Ice God's Divine Power relentlessly froze and eroded his meridians. A thin veil of cold mist constantly swirled around his body.

"I, Dugu Bo, pay respects to Your Excellency, Deity!"

Dugu Bo endured the agonizing pain of his meridians feeling as though they were splitting from frost. He staggered forward, and with every step, a layer of white frost formed on the ground beneath his feet.

Though he had been unfortunate enough to be severely wounded by the Ice God's Divine Power and had nearly died in the Frozen Forest, a blessing could arise from a misfortune.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom in his body, which had constantly threatened his life, was now firmly suppressed by the Ice God's Divine Power.

At least, he would no longer have to worry about the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom within his body!

But correspondingly, the Ice God's Divine Power had now taken its place in tormenting him!

At that thought, Dugu Bo did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Grandfather!"

Dugu Yan turned back. Seeing her grandfather in such a miserable state, her eyes reddened once more.

"Silly girl! Get up."

"Your grandfather is a Titled Douluo, after all. I won't die just yet!"

Dugu Bo endured the pain wracking his body and directly helped Dugu Yan to her feet, putting on a calm expression.

Shui Wuyou tilted his head. "Enough, Old Poison. You grandfather and granddaughter should stop acting like you're on the verge of death. Since you once took such good care of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I'll point out two ways for you to survive..."

"The first is to offer terms that satisfy me and ask me to remove the Ice God's Divine Power from your body. However, once that Divine Power is removed, a body as riddled with damage as yours will not last much longer."

"The second is to see whether your life is tough enough! If you can survive the torment of the Ice God's Divine Power, you will receive an unimaginable opportunity. Forget becoming a god at level one hundred—reaching Level 99 Peerless Douluo will at least not be a problem."

Only Dugu Bo could still be alive. Had it been anyone else who had never come into contact with Ice and Fire Spring Water, they would likely have already been killed by the Ice Empress's ice Divine Power.

It could only be said that Dugu Bo, who had relied on Ice and Fire Spring Water for years to suppress the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom, had an exceptionally tenacious life. He possessed a certain resistance to Divine Power of ice and fire attributes, which was why he had endured until now.

Dugu Bo fell silent.

He looked at the Sky Screen, then at Dugu Yan. Only after confirming that he would not die for the time being did he grit his teeth and speak.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency Deity!"

"However, I possess nothing of value at present and truly cannot offer a gift that would satisfy you!"

Although he was a Titled Douluo and the Dugu Family could be considered wealthy, they absolutely could not produce anything that would satisfy a Deity like Shui Wuyou.

The most precious treasure of the Dugu Family was undoubtedly his only granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

But as her grandfather, how could he use his granddaughter's future and happiness as bargaining chips in a transaction?

In any case, he had long endured the day-and-night backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom. Now, it had merely been replaced by the Ice God's Divine Power tormenting him.

Since the first path was impossible, he might as well gamble on the second!

He would gamble that his old life was tough enough to withstand the erosion of the Ice God's Divine Power and seize the opportunity to break through to Level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Beyond that, he would also gamble that he could resolve his current predicament through the Sky Screen.
