Dugu Bo! Entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Dai Fei ventured deeper into the Sunset Forest, where the scenery gradually grew sinister and eerie.

Towering trees blotted out the sky and sun, their thick canopy letting almost no sunlight through. A deep layer of humus covered the ground, and a faint, foul stench hung in the air.

Dai Fei advanced cautiously, his mental power focused to the utmost as he stayed alert for any movement around him.

He knew that the depths of the Sunset Forest were not only home to powerful Soul Beasts, but also concealed many unknown dangers.

Days passed. Dai Fei traveled through the forest for a full half month, yet he still had not found the legendary land of deadly poison.

His food and water were nearly gone, and his strength was gradually running out, but he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and pressed on.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I will find you!" Dai Fei murmured, determination flashing in his eyes.

At last, on the evening of the seventeenth day, Dai Fei caught a pungent, foul stench in the air.

He followed the smell and soon saw an area shrouded in thick fog. White bones lay scattered all around it, some human and some belonging to Soul Beasts.

It was clear that many people had found this place before Tang San arrived, but they had all undoubtedly died. Not one had made it out alive, which was why no one outside knew about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The fog was an eerie dark green, as though it contained endless poison, and the sight sent a chill down his spine.

Dai Fei's heart leaped with joy. He knew he had finally found his goal.

He did not rush in, however. Instead, he hid behind a large tree and carefully observed his surroundings.

Before long, he saw a figure emerge from the thick fog.

It was an old man in a dark green robe, with a sinister face and eyes as cold as a venomous snake's. A presence that made the heart tremble radiated from him.

Dugu Bo! Startled, Dai Fei circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art to reduce his presence and any trace of himself to a minimum. He immediately held his breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Dugu Bo stood at the edge of the fog and swept his gaze around. Then he gave a cold snort, and his figure flashed as he vanished into the depths of the forest.

Dai Fei breathed a sigh of relief, silently glad he had not acted rashly.

He knew that Dugu Bo was a nine-ring Titled Douluo whose strength was unfathomable. He was no match for him at all.

I have to wait until he leaves before I act, Dai Fei thought. He remained hidden in the shadows, carefully observing Dugu Bo's comings and goings.

After several days of observation, Dai Fei discovered that Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every evening and did not return until early the next morning.

My chance is here! A sharp gleam flashed in Dai Fei's eyes. He had already worked out a plan.

The next evening, Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as usual.

Dai Fei waited a while. Once he had confirmed that Dugu Bo was far away, he quickly emerged from his hiding place and headed toward the fog-shrouded area.

As soon as he approached the fog, a pungent stench hit him in the face, as though it would corrode his airways.

He swiftly circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art. The power of Geng Metal and the power of Heavenly Fiend surged within him, forming a faint golden film over his body that kept the poisonous fog out.

It works! Delighted, Dai Fei stepped into the fog without hesitation.

Visibility was extremely poor inside the fog, and Dai Fei could only rely on his mental power to sense his surroundings.

He advanced carefully. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound, as though something were approaching.

Dai Fei's heart tightened. The Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up instantly as he prepared to attack at any moment.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

A giant python as thick as a bucket shot out of the fog, opened its bloody maw, and lunged at Dai Fei.

The python had scarlet eyes, exposed fangs, and purple-black scales covering its body. It was clearly a highly venomous Soul Beast.

Inside the poisonous fog, its combat strength was greater than it was outside!

"Courting death!" Dai Fei snorted coldly. His fifth Soul Ring rose beneath his feet, and his fifth Soul Skill, White Tiger Geng Metal Transformation, activated instantly.

A layer of golden armor covered his entire body, and his attack and defense instantly rose to their peak.

Dai Fei's figure flashed as he dodged the python's lunge, then he struck out fiercely with a claw.

"Puchi!"

His sharp tiger claw pierced straight through the python's body, and blood instantly gushed out.

The python let out a shrill, anguished hiss, then crashed heavily to the ground.

Before Dai Fei could breathe a sigh of relief, however, more rustling came from all around him.

He looked up to see dozens of giant pythons darting out of the fog, surrounding him completely.

"Hmph, a pack of beasts dares to stand in my way!" A chill flashed in Dai Fei's eyes, and the Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up again.

"Geng Metal Sacred Art: White Tiger Slaughter! White Tiger Geng Metal Transformation!"

Dai Fei gave a low shout. The golden armor covering his body grew even more dazzling, and his attack and defense rose once more.

He moved like lightning, weaving through the pythons, each swipe of his claws taking one of their lives.

"Puchi! Puchi!"

Blood splashed, python corpses fell one after another, and the thick fog filled with the heavy smell of blood.

Dai Fei grew fiercer the longer he fought. The power of Geng Metal surged wildly within him, seemingly without end.

His attacks grew increasingly fierce and his speed ever faster. The pythons could not resist him at all.

A short while later, Dai Fei killed the last python.

He let out a long breath. The Soul Rings beneath his feet slowly dissipated, and his golden armor gradually vanished.

Dai Fei looked down at the python corpses covering the ground, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Those beasts did help me get more familiar with my fifth Soul Skill," Dai Fei murmured, then continued deeper into the fog.

As he went farther in, the poisonous fog grew thicker and thicker, even beginning to corrode the power of Geng Metal covering his body.

Startled, Dai Fei quickly circulated the Geng Metal Sacred Art and raised the power of Geng Metal within him to its limit. Only then did he barely manage to withstand the poisonous fog's corrosion.

At last, after passing through a dense bank of poisonous fog, Dai Fei saw the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It was a vast valley divided into two halves. One half was filled with scorching lava, while the other held a freezing spring.

Two utterly opposite forces intertwined in the valley, creating a strange sight.

Joy flashed in Dai Fei's eyes. He knew he had finally found his goal.

He quickly entered the valley and began searching for the Immortal Herbs he needed.

Just as he was about to pick an Immortal Herb, however, he suddenly sensed a powerful presence approaching from afar.

His heart tightening, Dai Fei quickly hid behind a massive boulder and held his breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.

A moment later, Dugu Bo appeared at the entrance to the valley.

He swept his cold gaze around, then snorted, turned, and left the valley.

Dai Fei breathed a sigh of relief, silently glad he had not acted rashly.

"Good thing I had the Geng Metal Sacred Art. That fellow Dugu Bo didn't notice I was here. Otherwise, I might very well have died here today."

Cold sweat poured down Dai Fei's face.

Although he possessed the Sacred Beast White Tiger, it was not the real body, just a phantom.

His Soul Power was only at the Soul King level too. If he really fought Dugu Bo, his chances of winning were not very high.

Such a dangerous venture did not suit his cautious nature.

If he could avoid a fight, it was naturally better not to fight.
