"What exactly is this technique of yours!!"
Dugu Bo's pupils widened, the Azure Lined Serpent Emperor's phantom reflected in his eyes as he struggled in panic. His face, etched with wrinkles, was filled with disbelief. His frantic scream echoed across Eagle's Beak Cliff, completely devoid of the composure expected of a master.
"Don't!"
Ignoring the panicked cries, Luo Yu remained unmoved. After the Blazing Demon Banner absorbed the Azure Lined Serpent Emperor's phantom, it seemed to flutter slightly before disappearing into his body.
With his martial soul taken, Dugu Bo's swelling aura rapidly deflated, like a punctured balloon. His already aged appearance seemed to dim further. If the foundation of a Title Douluo hadn't been supporting him, he likely would have collapsed.
Dugu Bo's trembling finger pointed at Luo Yu, his voice filled with shock and suspicion. "What kind of technique is this? My martial soul, which I cultivated for decades, was actually taken by you?"
Luo Yu's throat twitched subtly. He secretly suppressed the churning blood in his body, barely managing to force the stagnant blood back down.
It's not easy to activate the Night Watch Censor lineage's unique skills; the cost is naturally high. It requires not only the activation of the original bloodline power but also the cooperation of three spiritual artifacts: the Soul-鎮 Hammer, the Frightening Soul Gong, and the Blazing Demon Banner.
He also took advantage of Dugu Bo's relaxed vigilance, calculating the timing to achieve the ultimate success in one fell swoop. 'Binding Spirits, Sending Generals' is a powerful weapon against spirit bodies. In his previous life, Luo Yu had used this to subdue countless nocturnal ghosts.
Golden Waves Ripple Souls, Spirit Talisman Captures Souls, and the Blazing Demon Banner collecting souls, all in one go. The profound power of this technique is, of course, far more than this, but Luo Yu's physical condition had already paid a considerable price to activate it to this extent. If it weren't for caution, he wouldn't have started with such a big move.
Luo Yu slowly approached Dugu Bo, seemingly casual but actually vigilant. Heaven only knows what hidden methods the Title Douluo of the Douluo Continent have. If he were to capsize in the gutter, it would be a tragedy.
"Alright, stop pretending. Even if a Title Douluo can't use their martial soul, their physical strength is still enough to crush a Soul Sage," Luo Yu said.
Dugu Bo straightened up, his pair of emerald green pupils staring fixedly at the young man in front of him, with a deep fear hidden within.
"Who are you? How can there be such a young strong person on the Douluo Continent? And what kind of method is that?"
Dugu Bo didn't ask why the other party had ambushed him. In the world of martial artists, the winner is king. He had been blinded by greed and caught in a trap. Could he blame others for being despicable?
Luo Yu spread his hands and said, "There's no need to panic, sir. Who I am isn't important. You just need to know that I'm here to do business with you. I have no interest in your life."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "What kind of business is conducted like this?"
Luo Yu chuckled, "I'm a man of my word, but I'm also very cautious. To avoid any accidents during the transaction, I had to subdue you first. That's the only way I could feel at ease."
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. "Then how can I believe what you say?"
"Do you have a choice?" Luo Yu said, looking at his ashen face. "Don't worry. Take me to your treasure trove, and I'll return your martial soul to you. I can also teach you the method of detoxification."
Dugu Bo's eyes swirled, and his fists clenched tightly. Seeing that the other party had him completely under control, he was extremely displeased but helpless. He took the lead.
The two of them moved quickly through the Sunset Forest, one in front and one behind. Luo Yu had taken his martial soul and was offering benefits as a threat, so naturally, he wasn't worried about him being dishonest.
Dugu Bo was also probing Luo Yu's intentions along the way, trying to find out where he came from. He found that although the other party looked young, he was tight-lipped and exuded an aura of authority.
"Could it be a hidden expert secretly cultivated by the Martial Soul Hall?" Dugu Bo was covered in goosebumps. If that was the case, the Martial Soul Hall's hidden strength was truly terrifying.
After several detours and casually driving away soul beasts along the way, they passed through a dense forest. Luo Yu saw a conical depression in the ground ahead. Dense heat rose from the depression, and it was very obvious, vaguely mixed with the smell of sulfur.
Looking at the suddenly appearing, mysterious water pool, with milky white and crimson springs flowing in distinct streams, Luo Yu knew without being told that they had arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Dugu Bo pointed at the calm, mirror-like dual-colored water and said seriously, "This pool of water is extremely rare. It contains divine power. Entering it for cleansing and absorption can transform one's body and increase soul power."
Luo Yu looked at Dugu Bo's pained and reluctant expression and couldn't help but roll his eyes. If it weren't for my cheat, I almost would have believed you.
Intrigued, Luo Yu stared at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and clicked his tongue in wonder, "A good place, it does look good. Is it really as magical as you say?"
"Of course!" Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly, a hidden look of joy in his eyes.
"Oh? Since it's such a good treasure, why don't I send you down to try it first?" Luo Yu said jokingly.
Dugu Bo's mouth suddenly tasted bitter, "With these old bones of mine, how can I enjoy such treatment?"
Luo Yu snorted coldly, saying nothing, and pointed a finger behind Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was puzzled and instinctively turned his head to look. The valley was quiet and secluded, with nothing but medicinal herbs.
"Not good!"
The instant he turned back, Dugu Bo saw a dark gold-patterned hammer smash into his face.
"Dong."
With a muffled sound, Dugu Bo's eyes were unfocused, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The Soul-鎮 Hammer, the Soul-鎮 of the soul.
Luo Yu put away the dim Soul-鎮 Hammer, raised his hand, and probed the other party's breath. He shook his head, utterly uninterested. This guy had no memory of being beaten; he had already said that this young master liked to be absolutely foolproof. How could he let him watch?
His skills didn't seem to have dulled. That hammer strike should keep him asleep until he finished his business.
Luo Yu didn't intend to waste time. He scanned the mist-shrouded valley. Relying on his memory, his eyes quickly landed on several distinctive spirit herbs among the myriad plants.
First, he went to the bank and dug up a pale pink flower. It had no leaves, a neck three feet long, and each petal was crystal clear. As the flower swayed, a pink hue spread out, turning the area within a ten-meter radius pink, as if forming an inverted pink light shield.
A supreme treasure: Aromatic Silk Beauty, the bane of all poisons, capable of neutralizing all toxins.
With the Aromatic Silk Beauty in hand, Luo Yu felt at ease approaching Dugu Bo.
Without this, he wouldn't have dared to touch the old poison master's body. He reached out and took a plain blue leather pouch from the old man's waist.
Opening the pouch, a colorful winged poisonous insect immediately flew out, spewing green poisonous mist from its ferocious mouth.
However, the Aromatic Silk Beauty in Luo Yu's hand swayed gently, and all the poisonous mist instantly melted away within the pink domain. The poisonous insect fell limply to the ground.
The Ruyi Treasure Pouch had a vast capacity, and most importantly, it could hold living things, including medicinal herbs.
"Old Poison, these things wouldn't be of much use to you anyway. In the end, that little Third Bro would probably get them. If I take them, I won't treat you badly, buddy. After all, us Chinese people are known for being civilized and polite."
Luo Yu, holding the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, went to another pool of water and rinsed it several times. Returning, he looked at the ground covered in medicinal herbs and gave a friendly smile.
