Since that was the case, he had to eliminate all future trouble!

And now, the only way was to make Dugu Bo disappear forever!

But how could he make a Titled Douluo disappear?

Dai Mubai furrowed his brows, but he quickly came up with a plan.

He reached his right hand into his Storage Soul Tool, and a snow-white Immortal Herb appeared in his palm.

Its leaves were crystalline and translucent, each one seeming ready to drip with water. Long and curved, they resembled a swan's neck.

It was the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss!

Dai Mubai knew that the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss was not poison itself, but it could amplify the toxicity of any poison a hundredfold!

"Dugu Bo, aren't you severely poisoned, relying on the icefire energy of the Icefire Yin Yang Well year-round to suppress the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison?"

Dai Mubai stared at the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss in his palm, a trace of ruthlessness flashing through his eyes.

"Then I'll add a little something and see whether you can still suppress it!"

Dai Mubai sneered, put away the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, left the stone cave, and strode toward Heaven Dou City.

When Dai Mubai arrived at Heaven Dou City, it was just noon.

Before long, Dai Mubai learned that Prince Xue Xing's birthday banquet was tonight.

Only two days had passed since Dugu Bo left the Icefire Yin Yang Well the day before yesterday.

Dugu Bo would definitely attend the banquet at Prince Xue Xing's Residence tonight.

It was certainly impractical to plant the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss at Dugu Manor, but Prince Xue Xing's Residence was crowded and chaotic right now, making it the perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Dai Mubai immediately began making preparations.

Prince Xue Xing's Residence needed to purchase a large quantity of fresh meat today. Dai Mubai disguised himself, then bribed the meat vendor delivering goods to the residence and successfully slipped into the rear courtyard.

Using the breaks between moving goods, he figured out the locations of the wine room and the food preparation room.

Taking advantage of a moment when no one was watching, Dai Mubai poured one-third of the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, already ground into powder, into the wine and water supply.

Especially the water supply. Water was indispensable for both washing vegetables and cooking, so every dish would inevitably be tainted with Snow-Colored Swan Kiss powder.

The Snow-Colored Swan Kiss itself was harmless, so no one could possibly detect it.

After finishing everything, Dai Mubai left the prince's residence through the back gate.

He then immediately left Heaven Dou City and lay in wait along the only route from Sunset Forest to Heaven Dou City, silently waiting for his prey.

Night fell, and Prince Xue Xing's Residence was brilliantly lit as the evening banquet began.

The residence's servants carried in fine food and wine. Only after passing layers of taste-testers and being confirmed poison-free were they served at the banquet.

The banquet hall's long tables were covered in delicacies. The nobles and ministers of the Heaven Dou Empire raised cups and traded toasts.

Dugu Bo sat in the seat of honor to Prince Xue Xing's right, dressed in a dark green robe. His sinister face seemed utterly out of place amid the lively atmosphere.

This Poison Douluo had always been temperamental and radiated an aura that warned strangers to stay away, so no one dared approach him for conversation.

Dugu Bo was happy to enjoy the peace. He drank by himself and occasionally picked up a few bites of food.

At first, nothing seemed unusual.

But gradually, as the effects of the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss intensified, Dugu Bo's brows knitted slightly. He felt the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison within his body suddenly erupt into a frenzied rampage!

Before leaving that treasured place, Dugu Bo had confirmed that the poison was well suppressed. There should not have been any major problems for at least a month.

Yet now, the poison seemed to have been amplified hundreds or thousands of times in an instant, savagely tearing through his meridians and surging from his internal organs toward every limb and bone!

Dugu Bo's face instantly turned as white as paper!

He had to return to that treasured place immediately, or his life and death would be uncertain!

Dugu Bo did not even have time to bid Prince Xue Xing farewell. He rushed out of the hall, turning into a streak of light as he sped toward Sunset Forest!

He left behind only a hall full of dumbfounded guests and a thoroughly bewildered Prince Xue Xing.

In the night sky, Dugu Bo's figure moved at extreme speed, but the condition within his body had already deteriorated to the limit.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison had been amplified a hundredfold, crazily corroding his body and Soul Power.

Dugu Bo had no choice but to use all his Soul Power to suppress the poison. His strength as a Titled Douluo was likely less than one-tenth of its usual level now.

Hidden within the dense forest, Dai Mubai's Icefire Spirit Eyes soon sensed a terrifying aura streaking across the sky.

That aura was extremely chaotic, and its owner was clearly in a desperate hurry!

"He's here!"

Dai Mubai did not act immediately. He moved stealthily through the treetops, pursuing that streak of light from afar.

Perhaps Dugu Bo had noticed him, but Dai Mubai knew that Dugu Bo surely had no time to deal with a minor character like him right now.

At the Icefire Yin Yang Well, within the poisonous miasma.

Dugu Bo's figure fell from the sky and crashed onto the edge of the mountain hollow.

He struggled to rise, but vomited a huge mouthful of dark green poisonous blood.

Dugu Bo's eyes were bloodshot. Dark green blood began flowing from all seven of his orifices, while dense Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison mist uncontrollably spilled from his body.

He had never imagined that after playing with poison his entire life, he would ultimately be driven into such a desperate situation by his own poison!

Clinging to his last shred of clarity, Dugu Bo crawled unsteadily toward the valley.

However, the poison completely erupted.

Dugu Bo screamed and fell onto his back. His limbs convulsed as he struggled in agony, dark green poisonous mist roiling wildly around him.

A moment later, Dai Mubai silently landed more than ten meters behind Dugu Bo, holding two Pistols.

He soon saw Dugu Bo sprawled on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and giving off terrifying dark green poison gas. If Dai Mubai had not just completed Icefire Body Refinement and become immune to all poisons, he would likely have melted into pus the instant he approached that poisonous gas.

The nearly dead Dugu Bo seemed to sense something. He used his last bit of strength to open his eyes, and through his blurred vision, he saw a blond man watching him coldly.

A flash of resentment and unwillingness crossed Dugu Bo's eyes. He desperately circulated the last trace of Soul Power in his body, wanting to raise a hand and crush this ant taking advantage of his weakness!

Even with only one breath left, an attack from a Titled Douluo was enough to crush a Soul Ancestor to death!

Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply. He immediately raised his Pistols at Dugu Bo and pulled the triggers.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

Dai Mubai remained expressionless as he fired the two Pistols alternately, emptying both magazines and all thirty rounds!

Dugu Bo's entire body shuddered violently as clusters of blood burst across him. Forehead, throat, heart...

The bullets struck every one of his vital points with perfect accuracy!

The Poison Douluo who had once terrified the entire Soul Master world widened his eyes, as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

His head tilted to the side, and he breathed his last.

It was only because Dugu Bo was suppressing the poison, causing his strength to plummet and leaving him unable to use Soul Power for defense, while his body had also been riddled with damage from the poison. Otherwise, the Pistols might not have been effective at all.

Dai Mubai stood where he was, holding the Pistols in both hands as wisps of smoke still rose from their muzzles.

He waited quietly for a while, confirming that Dugu Bo was truly dead.

Looking at Dugu Bo's miserable corpse, Dai Mubai sighed softly.

If they had not belonged to different camps, and if he had not needed to keep the Icefire Yin Yang Well secret, Dai Mubai would not have wanted to take such a great risk.

Although he had lost a potential Titled Douluo ally against Spirit Hall, there was a greater chance that Dugu Bo would become an enemy.

Dai Mubai quickly put aside that trace of complicated emotion.

If he wanted to gain a foothold in this world, he had to kill decisively. What was done was done.
