A Titled Douluo switched sides? A slap sent Xue Xing flying!

In the past, whenever the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul was released, the flowers and plants within several feet around it would inevitably be tainted with a foul, black aura, and even the whites of the Soul Master's eyes would be covered with a sickly green haze.

However, the Soul Power emanating from Dugu Yan's body was not rotten at all. Instead, it carried a blazing and magnificent vitality like a furnace. The purple crystal luster flowing between the scales was exceptionally noble. The two slightly raised and majestic dragon horns on the top of her head faintly revealed a true Dragon Might's pressure that surpassed all the scales!

"This... this is..."

Dugu Bo's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he appeared in front of Dugu Yan in an instant, like a dark green ghost.

"Grandfather!"

Dugu Yan didn't flinch at all. Instead, she raised her right hand and said, "That old thief Xue Xing just accused the captain of using evil techniques to control me. Now take your own pulse and see! See if the snake venom that has been lurking in my Meridians for over ten years has been planted with a restriction, or if the captain has completely eradicated it!"

Dugu Bo's withered, claw-like fingers trembled slightly as he grasped Dugu Yan's pulse.

A wisp of pure Titled Douluo Soul Power probed into his fingertip.

The next moment, Dugu Bo stood there dumbfounded!

In his perception, his granddaughter's Meridians, which had been riddled with holes by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, were now not only free of any stagnation of venomous blood, but had actually widened by nearly twice their original size!

The domineering pure yang energy that he had felt uneasy about when he investigated yesterday has now completely merged with Dugu Yan's Origin Soul Power, transforming into a warm and blazing red-gold Core Flame that firmly protects her heart meridian and the area around her Baihui Acupoint.

As for the backlash of the bloodline venom that had tormented three generations of the Dugu Family and even driven him to despair and resignation, it actually dissipated completely under the refining and reshaping effect of this Pure Yang Dragon Qi!

"Completely cleared... Meridians reshaped, bloodline transformed, poison penetrated to the source without harming the body... It really was completely cleared?!"

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, and the moment he loosened his grip, the eyes of this level 91 Titled Douluo, who had roamed the continent for decades and killed without blinking an eye, instantly became bloodshot with horror.

He knew better than anyone the domineering and vicious nature of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison. His lineage's Martial Soul relied on potent poison for its very existence; poison was the Martial Soul, and the Martial Soul was poison. To completely remove the backlash toxins that had seeped into the bone marrow and Meridians without destroying the Martial Soul was nothing short of a pipe dream! Not to mention that after removing the poison, he could also allow the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to shed its sinister and deathly aura and leap towards becoming a true dragon of a higher rank!

This is hardly some evil soul-controlling technique! This is clearly an unparalleled creation that defies the heavens and changes one's fate!

Dugu Bo suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Su Chen.

Just now, he still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that this kid's ability to pinpoint his fatal illness might be due to some kind of aura-reading technique he had learned from some ancient or unorthodox book.

But now that he had personally felt his granddaughter's pulse, Dugu Bo completely lost his composure!

This kid isn't bluffing! He really does possess extraordinary abilities to completely eradicate the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison!

"Mr. Dugu! Why aren't you making a move?"

At the bottom of the steps, Xue Xing, her face bruised and swollen, panicked when she saw Dugu Bo standing there silently after taking her pulse.

He pointed at the headless corpse and cried out in a shrill voice, "Xue Beng died right before your eyes! This little beast brutally murdered a prince in the street, he deserves to die a thousand deaths! Quickly twist off his head, and I will go to the palace to ask His Majesty for a decree to bestow all the thousand-year-old elixirs in the Imperial Family treasury upon Yan'er to suppress her evil magic!!"

"Shut your stinking mouth!!"

Dugu Bo suddenly turned around, his emerald green snake eyes flashing with ferocity, and he slapped out from a distance with his backhand!

Snap!!

A powerful gust of wind lashed out at Xue Xing's old face, knocking out seven or eight of his teeth!

Xue Xing's 200-pound obese body spun twice on the spot before crashing into the group of imperial guards with a thud, completely stunned.

"Mr... Mr. Dugu? You hit me?!" Prince Xue Xing covered his bleeding, leaky mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

"Hit you? The fact that I didn't slap you to death is already repaying the favor I did you to save my life back then!"

Dugu Bo gazed at Xue Xing lying in the mud, his hoarse voice carrying a chilling coldness, "That little beast Xue Beng was blind to his own fault for insulting my granddaughter and my young friend Su Chen; he deserved to die! And you dare to spew filth and incite me to kill my Dugu Family's great benefactor?!"

At this point, Dugu Bo waved his sleeve, and his terrifying aura of level ninety-one pressed down on the inner side of the mountain gate like an iron curtain. "Listen up, all of you! From this day forward, I have absolutely no connection with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Immediately take the corpses of Xue Beng and get down this mountain! Anyone who dares to remain within a hundred feet of this mountain gate within ten breaths, I will turn them into a puddle of thick water!!"

Boom!

Under the terrifying aura of Titled Douluo, the three hundred armored guards, already terrified, dared not linger.

Several deputy commanders scrambled to their feet. Two of them carried Prince Xue Xing, whose face was covered in blood and who was trembling all over. The others hurriedly lifted the Xue Beng corpse and the unconscious Zhao Lie, and fled in a sorry state towards the Imperial City at the foot of the mountain.

As for Osler, Yu Feng, and the Shi Brothers, who were limp as mud, they didn't dare utter a sound. They scurried into the bushes behind the academy gate and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The vast White Jade mountain gate square was completely cleared away in just a few breaths, leaving only broken stone slabs and broken iron crossbows scattered on the ground.

Standing atop the steps, Su Chen witnessed Dugu Bo's swift and decisive turn of events, and inwardly felt a sense of satisfaction.

Although this old poisoner was violent and eccentric, he was clearer-headed than anyone else when it came to survival and protecting his own.

Xue Xing's attempt to use a favor from decades ago to blackmail a dying Titled Douluo is pure wishful thinking.

After thoroughly driving away all the bystanders, Dugu Bo turned around.

Facing this boy who was only twelve years old and Soul Power was only level forty, the Poison Douluo, who usually didn't even take Xue Ye seriously, no longer showed any of the ferocity and arrogance he had shown before.

He took a deep breath, and surprisingly straightened his dark green robes. He then solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to Su Chen.

"Just now, I was blind and misled by a villain's instigation, almost causing a disaster. I will forever remember the kindness of my daughter Yanyan in being saved by you, young friend Su Chen! There are many eyes and ears here. Would you do me the honor of following me to the secret chamber in the back mountain for a chat?"

Standing behind Su Chen, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with pride.

Ye Lingling's cold eyes gleamed with a strange light. First, she slapped the Fourth Prince to death, and then, with just a few words, she made the infamous Poison Douluo betray her and apologize in public. How many people on the entire continent could match her power to turn the tide so easily?

"Senior Dugu, you're too kind. Since you've invited me, let's go sit in the back mountain."

Su Chen calmly agreed, then turned to Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the other women beside him and instructed, "You all wait outside the secret room. I need to speak with Senior Dugu alone."

"Grandpa, if the captain loses even a single hair, I'll never acknowledge you again!" Dugu Yan glared at her grandfather and pouted.

Dugu Bo's old face twitched, and he waved his hands repeatedly with a wry smile, "You brat, I'm begging young friend Su Chen right now, how dare I lay a finger on him? Come with me!"
