Deep within the Sunset Forest, the extraordinary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well pulsed with energy. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged, and the forces of Yin and Yang converged.
Currents of clashing red and blue energy, representing the extreme auras of hot and cold, intertwined, seemingly splitting the entire landscape in half.
Staring at the red figure standing behind the girl, Xiao, Dugu Bo's face turned incredibly grim, a profound sense of dread flashing in his eyes. Despite the fear, this was his home, a unique medicinal garden he had meticulously cultivated for decades. He wouldn't give it up easily.
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Bo forced down the anger boiling in his heart. He stepped forward, bowed, and spoke in a low, controlled voice, "Your Excellency, I am Dugu Bo, and my Titled Douluo title is Poison.
This medicinal garden is the result of many years of my hard work. If you have any needs, feel free to pick anything you want; I won't stop you. I only ask that after you've finished, you leave this place. Please grant me this one request."
As Dugu Bo finished speaking, the red figure slowly raised his head. Beneath the moonlight, his red eyes were sharp as blades, and a mocking smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth. His voice was hoarse and heavy with power.
"A request? Hahahaha…" The Red King burst into laughter. He took a step forward, and the flames on his body instantly swept through the air, causing a rumbling tremor. He sneered, "You, a mere Level 92 Titled Douluo, dare to speak of granting a request with this King?"
"How ridiculous!" he continued. "What my Young Miss fancies is hers! Dugu Bo? Never heard of him. What are you, anyway? Get lost, or I'll beat you senseless!"
"You—" Hearing this, Dugu Bo was instantly enraged. He was a Titled Douluo; even the continent's strongest power, Spirit Hall, had to show him a certain degree of respect. But now, this Red King was treating him with utter contempt. This was beyond what he could endure.
With a furious roar, Dugu Bo's spirit power surged from his body, and a vivid green light immediately condensed behind him. A colossal serpent phantom, entirely green with chilling scales, instantly materialized. It was his Spirit, the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Immediately after, Dugu Bo's tall, thin body stepped onto the serpent's head and soared upward. Half of the serpent's immense body stood erect, ready to confront the Red King.
Seeing this display, the Red King's lips curled into a sneer. He calmly twisted his neck, and a series of crisp cracking sounds echoed. Then, he slowly raised his hand and made a blatant gesture of provocation toward Dugu Bo.
"Arrogant!" Gazing at the scene, Dugu Bo roared in anger. He seemed to have been completely provoked. He immediately drove his Spirit, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, to charge at the Red King. As his spirit power surged, the Jade Phosphor Serpent's massive tail swept out fiercely with a whistling sound.
However, facing this savage attack, the Red King didn't move an inch. He simply raised his arm, fingers spread, as if intending to forcibly grab the enormous serpent tail.
Dugu Bo sneered in his heart, You're too arrogant, aren't you? Even if your spirit power is higher than mine, if you don't even release your Spirit, I'll make you suffer a great loss!
However, Dugu Bo didn't know the truth. The Red King was not a human, and therefore, he had no Spirit. As a result, the one who would ultimately suffer could only be Dugu Bo.
Just as the huge serpent tail swept over, the Red King reached out and forcibly grabbed it. In the next instant, he exerted force with his arm, the veins bulging, and he actually lifted the massive Jade Phosphor Serpent, swinging it around like a giant whip. Immediately after, he raised his other hand and fiercely slapped it.
With a loud bang, the Jade Phosphor Serpent was sent flying like a broken kite by the Red King's slap.
It let out a miserable groan and crashed directly into the nearby rock wall. Amidst the thunderous roar, the rock wall instantly cracked open, large chunks of debris fell, and a thick cloud of dust billowed, instantly engulfing Dugu Bo's figure.
A moment later, the swirling dust gradually settled. Dugu Bo's figure slowly rose from the rubble. His clothes were tattered, a faint trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and a brilliant green light shone in his eyes. His expression was extremely gloomy; he had clearly been pushed past his limit.
"Are you truly looking for death? I may not be able to defeat you, but I can certainly kill her!" With an angry roar, a green light suddenly lit up on Dugu Bo's forehead.
"Head Spirit Bone Ability—Medusa's Gaze!"
Immediately, the Jade Phosphor Serpent behind him flashed violently, and in the next second, it spewed out two pure white beams of light, shooting straight towards the Red King.
"Hmph, mere child's play!" The Red King snorted coldly, roared, and then suddenly opened his mouth, spewing out a scorching red flame directly to meet the two white lights. The two forces collided violently in mid-air, and a heaven-shaking roar was expected.
But a strange scene occurred; no explosion sound was emitted. Instead, the red flame was continuously tainted by the white light after the collision, eventually turning completely pure white.
What was even more astonishing was that the dyed flame underwent a complete qualitative change! The originally scorching, formless energy flame instantly transformed into a hard, solid entity, then turned into chunks of white stone, falling from the sky.
"What? It can actually petrify energy?" This sight even caused the Red King's expression to change slightly. In the next second, he flashed, twisting his body to dodge the subsequent white light.
Seizing this critical opportunity, Dugu Bo's black eighth spirit ring lit up. Immediately after, the Jade Phosphor Serpent spat a jade-green bead from its mouth, which fell into his hand. He roared, "Eighth Spirit Ability, Time Solidification!"
In an instant, a wave of green light spread out from Dugu Bo's location. Everything around them froze in their current positions; even fallen leaves blown by the wind remained suspended in mid-air. When this green light fell upon the Red King, it only managed to trap him for a mere second before he forcibly broke free.
"Heh heh, a mere eighth Spirit Ability, and you think you can trap me? That's simply wishful thinking!" The Red King looked at Dugu Bo in the distance and laughed uproariously.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's lips also curled into a cold sneer, and he said, "Why don't you look behind you first? I can't kill you, but I can certainly kill her!"
"What did you say?" The Red King's face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head.
Xiao was trapped in place, completely unable to move. At this moment, her eyes flashed with panic, and countless small green snakes, formed from energy, were frantically rushing toward her from all directions.
The Red King's pupils constricted, revealing anxiety and anger for the first time. His figure transformed into a red light and shot away, the temperature of the entire area rising with him. However, Dugu Bo's sinister voice rang in his ears:
"Hmph, you can't protect her. This Spirit Ability is called Myriad Snakes Devouring Heart. Unless you can destroy all those energy snakes in an instant, she will surely die!"
"While I can't defeat many Titled Douluo, I can make this world only have Titled Douluo! If you promise to withdraw from the medicinal garden now, I can let..."
Dugu Bo's words were cut short. A blue-gold light suddenly lit up beneath Xiao's feet. Immediately, countless strands of Blue Silver Grass, as if summoned by some mysterious power, grew wildly around her, winding and extending, ultimately protecting her within their embrace.
As these Blue Silver Grass continuously condensed and wound together, they slowly began to merge, eventually forming a huge blue-gold vertical eye in front of Xiao.
That eye seemed to have transcended time and space, exuding a domineering pressure that looked down on all things. Its mere existence caused the energy between Heaven and Earth to stagnate.
In the next second, a powerful blue-gold light suddenly burst forth from the center of the vertical eye. Wherever the light passed, the countless small energy snakes unleashed by Dugu Bo suddenly paused, like puppets that had lost control.
They began to dart about erratically in place, completely losing their direction. Immediately after, they began to strangely bite each other—a horrifying sight.
"What kind of Spirit Ability is this?" Dugu Bo's originally sinister smile instantly froze on his face. At this moment, his breathing was rapid, and an indescribable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
"Why do I feel like I've seen this Blue Silver Grass somewhere before?"
