.
Swish!
Lin Jie, wielding the Blood Asura Sword, shattered Dugu Bo's attack with a single blow, charging towards him with unstoppable force.
"Soul Skill: Snake Python Heavenly Shield."
Seeing how easily the boy had shattered his attack, Dugu Bo was forced to unleash his soul skills in resistance.
A green energy shield formed, enveloping Dugu Bo.
Having just managed to resist the backlash of the poison, he could only defend himself.
Boom!
The Blood Asura Sword slashed down, sending a storm of energy surging.
Seeing that his initial strike had failed to pierce the green energy shield, Lin Jie increased his force again, his soul power surging uninterruptedly.
"Slash!"
Bang!
Bang!
Dugu Bo's face darkened as he watched the shield nearly shatter. He felt like a fallen tiger, bullied by a dog.
"Boy, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
"Seventh Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorus Snake King True Form."
A giant green python emerged, wrapping itself around Dugu Bo.
This was the most powerful attack he could unleash right now, but he was confident he could dispatch the brat in an instant.
"Hmph, finally something powerful? Then let me see how powerful your Spirit Avatar is."
Facing the ferocious snake before him, Lin Jie remained calm.
If Dugu Bo had used his full power, he would have been somewhat intimidated. Right now, he couldn't even use his own poisons, his poison skills unavailable, and his spirit power reduced to a mere tenth. In this state, using his Spirit Avatar, Lin Jie truly had no fear.
"Dugu Bo, don't die later."
With that, Lin Jie's Shura Blood Sword hovered in front of him, unleashing electromagnetic force and forming a unique magnetic field. Immediately, the Shura Blood Sword spun rapidly in front of him, like a whirlwind of electricity.
This was an application of electromagnetic force, similar to a super-electromagnetic cannon.
Any metal could be controlled by electromagnetic force. While the Shura Blood Sword's material was unknown, it was still metal, naturally capable of electromagnetic control.
Now, the Shura Blood Sword was a powerful projectile, and one that was indestructible.
Zizizizi!
Blood-red arcs of electricity appeared on the Shura Blood Sword's blade.
Rotating at breakneck speed, a terrifying storm formed.
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan, hiding nearby, called out with a look of worry.
Dugu Bo gave her a reassuring look, then shifted his gaze to Lin Jie coldly.
Who was he, Dugu Bo? The ruthless Poison Douluo. Though weakened, he was still a Titled Douluo, and possessed his own pride.
Now challenged by a mere Soul Emperor, even a Soul Emperor with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring would find it difficult to quell his inner rage without slaying him.
"Green-Scaled Snake King, go!"
echoed the forest's voice, and a massive green serpent lashed out at Jiang Liu.
Seeing this, Lin Jie sneered, "Haha, Dugu Bo, let's see if you can withstand this
...blood-red storm."
[Crack.]
Zizizizi! !
A blood-red electric drill energy storm roared up, a massive howl of wind, then transformed into a crimson aurora, hurtling straight towards the giant green snake.
BANG!!!
The green snake collided with the red storm, a massive surge of energy unleashed, a deafening blast echoing through the heavens.
The blood-red storm instantly ripped through the giant snake, leaving the green energy snake struggling to hold on. Dugu Bo's face was grim, and he continuously increased his soul power output.
"How is this possible? How could his attack be so powerful?"
"Ah!!"
A furious cry echoed, and Dugu Bo desperately channeled his soul power to maintain his martial spirit form.
But at this point, he was already exhausted from fending off the backlash of the deadly poison and helping his granddaughter Dugu Yan suppress her poison.
A crack... a snap...
a shattering sound echoed, and the giant green energy snake, unable to withstand the blood-red storm's powerful attack, shattered.
The unstoppable blood-red storm rushed towards Dugu Bo again, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
"Am I going to die here? I won't accept this!" Bloodshot eyes bulged, and a fearful, furious voice wailed from Dugu Bo's mouth.
"Don't kill my grandfather... Don't!"
Lin Jie heard Dugu Yan's cries, and his thoughts raced. He still needed to find Dugu Bo to learn about the poison pill. For now, he wouldn't kill him; severely injuring him would suffice.
"Magnetic!"
he murmured, controlling the blood-red storm to avoid Dugu Bo's vitals.
Sizzle!
The storm descended upon Dugu Bo, instantly opening countless wounds and sending blood splattering.
The energy storm dissipated, and with a thud, the dying Dugu Bo fell to the ground.
"Return."
At Lin Jie's call, the Blood Sword of Asura flew back into his hands.
"Not bad, very good." Seeing the Blood Sword intact, Lin Jie was pleased.
The Blood Sword in his control center had just avoided Dugu Bo, otherwise he would have been pierced through the heart and died by now.
"Grandpa... Grandpa, are you okay?" Dugu Yan cried out, and quickly ran to Dugu Bo.
"Ahem... It's... It's okay... Yanyan, go." Dugu Bo said weakly.
"No... I'm not going..." Dugu Yan stood resolutely, staring coldly at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie saw this, unconcerned. In his eyes, Dugu Yan was just an ordinary person.
He took a step forward and walked towards Dugu Bo. He wanted to see how arrogant Dugu Bo was now.
"If you want to kill my grandfather, kill me first." Dugu Yan reached out to stop Lin Jie, her voice trembling. Even her grandfather was no match for Lin Jie. She knew she couldn't possibly be his opponent. But to protect her grandfather, she wasn't afraid.
"Haha, Miss Dugu Yan, do you think you can stop me?" Lin Jie said angrily, seeing Dugu Yan standing in front of him.
"I know I can't stop you, but if you want to kill my grandfather, I... I... just kill me first."
At this moment, Lin Jie found Dugu Yan quite adorable, a silly, adorable person.
If he really wanted to kill Dugu Bo, he could have killed him with a single blow long ago. Why wait now?
But toying with Dugu Yan seemed pleasant. Hmm, why did she feel like a villain?
Lin Jie walked up to Dugu Yan, lifted her chin with one hand, leaned in close, and whispered, "I don't need you to kill your grandfather, but you have to give me a reason not to. Do you have one?"
Dugu Yan's face hardened at Lin Jie's expression, and she suppressed her anger.
"Is he like other men, even greedy for me? " But I already have someone I like. But if I don't obey him, what will happen to Grandpa? Tianheng, I'm sorry. I have to do this for Grandpa.
Dugu Yan made up her mind. "Whatever you want, I'll grant it to you as long as you let Grandpa go."
Lin Jie chuckled, "Haha, whatever I want. Whatever you have, I need."
"My body, I can give it to you," Dugu Yan said unwillingly.
"Uh! So intense? I was just trying to tease you, why are you acting like the bad guy?"
"With your chubby figure, I'm not interested." After saying this, Lin Jie didn't forget to measure the flesh on Dugu Yan's chest.
"You...you..." Dugu Yan was furious but couldn't speak.
"Ahem...boy, if you dare to touch a hair on my Yanyan, I will never let you go." Dugu Bo, enduring the pain, tried to climb up.
"Wow, you're still so stubborn even when facing death. You're truly worthy of being the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo." Lin Jie pushed Dugu Yan aside, walked up to him, and looked down at him.
"Lin Jie, don't..."
"Yan Yan, don't beg him. He won't kill me."
Dugu Bo's words made Dugu Yan pause.
"Dugu Bo, you're so confident."
"Ahem... I never thought a Soul Emperor like you could be so powerful. Spirit Hall, you're truly worthy of being that man's disciple. If that attack had hit me just now, I'd be a corpse by now. You deliberately avoided my vital points, didn't you?" Dugu Bo said weakly.
Lin Jie smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so understanding. Yes, I don't want to kill you right now. But I don't know what will happen later."
"What's your purpose here?"
Lin Jie didn't answer him. "Dugu Bo, I heard you once poisoned an entire city to experiment with poisons. Is that true?"
Dugu Bo was speechless. He had indeed poisoned an entire city, and his reputation was greatly enhanced by it.
Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Lin Jie knew it was true.
"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. A poison-using Poison Douluo has been poisoned by his own poison, and even his own granddaughter is about to be poisoned to death. Dugu Bo, do you think this is retribution?" Lin Jie taunted. "
How did you know?" Dugu Bo said with a cold, shocked expression.
"Don't worry about how I know. I'll give you two choices. One: Submit to me, and I can teach you how to remove the poison from you and Dugu Yan, so that you won't suffer the backlash of the poison. Two: I'll kill you and put an end to it once and for all."
"You can remove the poison from Yanyan and me." Dugu Bo's face was filled with disbelief, but when he thought about how this brat dared to ask him to submit, his face suddenly turned cold. Who was he, Dugu Bo? He killed people without blinking an eye, so how could he possibly surrender to someone else?
"Don't you believe it?" Lin Jie also saw Dugu Bo's expression. "Dugu Bo, what do you think of my strength? I'm seventeen years old, a level sixty-six Soul Emperor, and have reached the sixth ring of the 100,000-year mark. What do you think I'll achieve in the future?"
"How could you possibly?" Dugu Bo looked at Lin Jie in horror.
"Now, I'm giving you a chance to choose. Submit to me, and I'll teach you how to control the poison in your body. That way, you won't die, but you can live safely, and your granddaughter won't be tortured to death by the poison. I'll give you three minutes to consider; my patience is limited." With that, Lin Jie turned to the stunned Dugu Yan.
If Dugu Bo truly wanted to die, he wouldn't mind giving him a ride. As for Dugu Yan, perhaps he would consider it differently.
Lin Jie wanted to subdue Dugu Bo not only because he could use poison, but also because he was a Titled Douluo. Now he needed to recruit followers. Moreover, if Dugu Bo submitted to him, wouldn't the news of the poison pill come out?
