"I can save you, but—uh…"
Tang San's "charitable" words were cut off.
Dugu Bo grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, his icy eyes filled with killing intent.
"Brat, I don't know where you got your information,"
"but if you think you can use that to threaten me, you're not qualified."
"You say you can cure my poison?"
"Then prove that your ability with poison surpasses mine. Otherwise—die!"
The killing intent, completely undisguised, drenched Tang San's clothes in cold sweat in an instant!
—What kind of person doesn't play by logic?!
He's your only hope of survival right now, yet you're threatening him?
You deserve to poison yourself to death!
"What, too scared to remember your lines?" Dugu Bo said coldly. "Then go die."
"Wait!" Tang San shouted, "I don't have anything on me right now—how am I supposed to prove that my poison skills surpass yours?"
"That's simple." Dugu Bo's voice was icy. "And you lot—follow quietly. If I see even a hint of anyone trying to escape… heh."
He flung Tang San aside and turned to leave.
None of them dared hesitate for even a breath; they quickly circulated soul power and followed.
Tang San, relying on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, barely managed to keep up.
But poor Oscar was suffering.
Fortunately, Li Yusong had a sharp eye and pulled Oscar along—otherwise, even if Dugu Bo didn't strike, a food-type spirit master in the center of the Sunset Forest would have absolutely no chance of survival.
This made Oscar's resentment toward Tang San reach its peak.
Delaying the group's progress was bad enough—but acting on his own and dragging everyone down with him?!
If he had the strength, he'd really like to punch Tang San's head in!
He tried to take out the Wave Communication Soul Guide, ready to contact Zhuge Lan for help—after all, a little Poison Douluo like Dugu Bo was nothing before his Brother Lan.
But—
Tang San caught his little movement, and his gaze instantly sharpened!
He was confident he could heal Dugu Bo, and even more confident that his skills in poison surpassed him.
The benefits were within reach.
He couldn't let Oscar's cowardice ruin everything!
"Oscar," Tang San hissed, "I suggest you don't move around. If Senior Dugu notices, we'll all die!"
Oscar: "!!!"
He hurriedly looked up front—Dugu Bo had turned his head toward them.
Oscar instantly tucked away the Wave Communication Soul Guide.
Dugu Bo's gaze swept over them, finding nothing amiss, and said nothing more.
But his speed suddenly increased again, forcing Li Yusong to pull Oscar along even harder.
They had to call over Lu Qibin—one on the left, one on the right—to carry Oscar forward.
Oscar's face was dark as night.
Tang San—what the hell are you?
He was just trying to take a chance, not get them all killed!
But as things stood, he didn't dare move rashly.
If he really angered Dugu Bo, they'd all die first.
Seeing Oscar finally submit, Tang San's lips curled slightly.
Whether others lived or died had nothing to do with him—
as long as they didn't ruin his plan.
They sped forward at full pace.
Passing through poison barriers and canyons, they arrived at that valley.
When Tang San saw the scene he'd only read about in books, excitement surged in his chest!
Yes!
This was it!
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—the medicine treasure basin of legends!
So many immortal herbs!
Lovesick Heartbroken Tear!
Fiery Apricot!
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
And—Zhuge Lan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong—
Wait?!
Dugu Bo barked coldly, "You people—hm?"
"Zhuge Lan?!" Tang San cried out shrilly. "Why are you all here?!"
Dugu Bo: "???"
You people know each other?!
Zhuge Lan stood up from beside the Fragrant Silk Beauty Immortal, looking in surprise at Dugu Bo and his group at the valley's entrance.
He was also a bit surprised.
"How did you guys end up together?"
"Eh, never mind. Doesn't matter."
"Dugu Bo, right? Not bad, this medicine garden of yours. I'll be taking it."
"You got a problem with that?"
Dugu Bo's green hair practically stood on end in rage!
Did he have a problem?!
He had plenty!
But with Zhuge Lan standing among the immortal herbs—especially next to the one that could neutralize his snake poison—Dugu Bo couldn't just strike rashly.
He could only reply coldly, "If you don't want to die, get out!"
Zhuge Lan sighed helplessly.
"People these days—so full of anger."
"If you can't be reasoned with, then we'll have to fight."
"Ancestor, with so many immortal herbs here, surely it's worth your time to act once?"
Dugu Bo's expression shifted, eyes wary as he looked around.
But Tang San and the others were all staring at Zhuge Lan.
In the next instant—
A white-haired elder drifted out from between Zhuge Lan's brows, forming into a phantom behind him. A medicinal fragrance far richer than that of the surrounding immortal herbs filled the air, refreshing and invigorating everyone who breathed it.
[One wisp of divine thought: +500,000 Emotion Points!]
[Immortal Herb Essence Aroma: +100 Emotion Points!]
The display of prestige was overwhelming!
Oscar and the others felt their spirits tremble!
A new divine sense?!
Another ancestor-level deity?!
[Emotion Points +66,666]
[Emotion Points +66,666]
Dugu Bo's heart pounded violently as he stared at the white-haired phantom!
What was this?
Why did it give him such a vivid sense—
of impending death?!
[Emotion Points +190,000]
As expected of a Titled Douluo—so generous with Emotion Points.
The white-haired phantom casually glanced at Dugu Bo and spoke lightly—
"Kneel."
The two words landed like a mountain. Dugu Bo's ears buzzed painfully, the words echoing endlessly in his mind.
He clutched his head in agony, unable to suppress the pain—
until he finally crashed to his knees. Only then did the torturous sound fade away.
[Emotion Points +190,000]
Dugu Bo looked up in shock at the white-haired phantom. What kind of power was this?!
Even the likes of Sword Douluo couldn't suppress him like this!
Then came a surge of fury!
Whoever this was—
How dare you?!
"If I don't take revenge for this, how could I face myself?!"
"If I can't beat you, I'll kill your whole family instead!"
[Emotion Points +141,444]
Shao Xin and the others looked on with smug satisfaction. Finally—this was payback!
Go on, keep being arrogant!
Now look who's kneeling obediently!
Only Tang San was seething with anger.
Just moments ago—
He'd been forced to kneel by Dugu Bo in almost the same way!
That was fine—
he was used to kneeling by now.
But how could Dugu Bo kneel to Zhuge Lan?!
Wasn't that breaking the hierarchy?!
[Emotion Points +44,444]
No one paid him any attention.
Zhuge Lan, having established authority, now offered a "sweet date" to follow the stick.
Controlling the white-haired phantom, he spoke evenly—
"I am the Medicine God."
"This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and your treasured land have been defiled by you. Today, I grant you the Five Poison Divine Palm to resolve your plight."
"If you're wise, leave immediately."
"Otherwise…"
"Die."
The white-haired phantom raised a finger toward Dugu Bo.
[Remote Transmission of Technique: 100,000 Emotion Points per person]
—Sure, handing out a written manual would be cheaper, but that wouldn't be godly enough!
The first stage of the Five Poison Divine Palm was infused directly into Dugu Bo's mind.
Cultivating through poison, controlling poison with internal power, merging the five poisons—becoming invincible to both gods and ghosts!
Though it was only the first stage,
it was enough for Dugu Bo to merge his own snake venom into his soul power without harming his meridians.
Detoxify?
No need!
The poison itself would now make him stronger!
The shame of his title?
Once he refined the snake venom in his body, he'd even dare to fight above his rank!
[Emotion Points +210,000]
[Emotion Points +290,000]
Dugu Bo gave the white-haired phantom a deep look.
Now it was his turn to decide.
Fight?
