Deep within Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Here, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged, Yin and Yang converged, and red and blue currents clashed continuously, with two extreme auras of hot and cold intertwining, as if dividing the entire World in half.
Gazing at the red figure standing behind Xiao Ruier, Dugu Bo's Face turned extremely grim, a strong sense of dread flashing in his eyes.
But this was, after all, his lair, a medicinal garden he had painstakingly cultivated for decades.
How could he easily give way?
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Bo forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stepped forward, bowed, and said in a low, restrained voice:
"Your Excellency, I am Dugu Bo, my Titled Douluo is Poison. This medicinal garden is the fruit of my many years of effort. If you have any needs, feel free to pick them yourself, I will not stop you. I only hope that after you have finished picking, you will leave this place. Please give me some Face."
As Dugu Bo's words fell.
The red figure slowly raised his head. Under the moonlight, his red eyes were as sharp as knives, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. His voice was hoarse and full of pressure:
"Face? Hahahaha…"
The Red King burst into laughter, stepped forward, and the flames on his body instantly swept through the Void Realm, causing a thunderous tremor. He sneered:
"You, a mere Level 92 Titled Douluo, dare to speak of Face with this King?"
"How ridiculous!"
"What my Young Miss fancies, that is hers! Dugu Bo? Never heard of him. What are you? Get lost, or I'll beat you!"
"You—"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was instantly enraged. He was, after all, a Titled Douluo; even the strongest Spirit Hall on the continent had to show him some Face.
But now, this Red King was practically riding on his head and shitting.
This was beyond endurance.
With a furious roar, Dugu Bo's Soul Power surged out from his body, and a green light instantly condensed behind him. A colossal serpent phantom, entirely green with cold scales, instantly appeared.
It was his Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Immediately after, Dugu Bo's tall and thin body stepped directly onto the serpent's head, then soared upwards. Half of the serpent's body stood erect, confronting the Red King.
Seeing this, the Red King's lips curled into a sneer. He lightly twisted his neck, emitting a series of crisp cracking sounds.
Then, he slowly raised his hand and made a blatant gesture of provocation towards Dugu Bo.
"Arrogant!"
Gazing at the scene before him, Dugu Bo roared in anger. He seemed to have been completely provoked. He immediately drove his Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, to charge towards the Red King. As his Soul Power surged, the Jade Phosphor Serpent's massive tail, with a whistling sound, swept out fiercely.
However, facing this fierce attack, the Red King did not retreat an inch.
He simply raised his arm, fingers spread.
As if intending to forcibly grab the enormous serpent tail.
Dugu Bo, seeing this, sneered in his heart, "You're too arrogant, aren't you? Even if your Soul Power is above mine, if you don't even release your Martial Soul, then I'll make you suffer a great loss!"
However, Dugu Bo did not know.
The Red King was not a human at all, so naturally, he had no Martial Soul.
Therefore, the one who would suffer in the end could only be Dugu Bo.
Just as the huge serpent tail swept over, the Red King directly reached out and forcibly grabbed the serpent tail. In the next instant, he exerted force with his arm, veins bulging, and actually lifted the massive Jade Phosphor Serpent, swinging it like a giant whip.
Immediately after, he raised his other hand and fiercely slapped it out.
With a loud bang, the Jade Phosphor Serpent was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by the Red King's slap, then 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 dust billowed.
In an instant, Dugu Bo's figure was engulfed within it.
A moment later, the sky-high dust gradually settled.
Dugu Bo's figure slowly rose from the rubble.
At this moment, 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 Face looked extremely gloomy, clearly having been completely enraged.
"Are you really looking for death? I can't beat you, but can't I kill her?!"
With an angry roar, a green light suddenly lit up on Dugu Bo's forehead.
"Head Soul Bone Ability—Medusa's Gaze!"
Immediately, the Jade Phosphor Serpent behind him flashed violently, and then 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 meeting the two white lights.
The two forces collided violently in mid-air, and it was expected to cause a heaven-shaking roar.
But a strange scene occurred; no explosion sound was emitted.
Instead, the red flame was continuously dyed by the white light after the collision.
Finally, it was stained pure white.
What was even more astonishing was that the dyed flame underwent a complete qualitative change!
The originally scorching, formless energy flame actually 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 scene also 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 opportunity, Dugu Bo's black eighth spirit ring lit up.
Immediately after, the Jade Phosphor Serpent spat out a jade-green bead from its mouth, which fell into his hand. He roared, "Eighth Soul Skill, Time Solidification!"
In an instant, a green light spread out from Dugu Bo's location.
In the blink of an eye, 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 trapped him for a second, and in the next moment, he forcibly broke free.
"Heh heh, a mere eighth Soul Skill, and you want to 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, saying, "Why don't you look behind you first? I can't kill you, but can't I kill her?"
"What did you say?" The Red King's Face changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head.
Xiao Ruier 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 towards 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 World rising with him.
However, Dugu Bo's sinister voice rang in his ears:
"Hmph, you can't protect her. This Soul Skill is called Myriad Snakes Devouring Heart. Unless you can destroy all the energy snakes in an instant, she will surely die!"
"Although 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 had not fully fallen.
A blue-gold light suddenly lit up beneath Xiao Ruier's feet.
Immediately, countless Blue Silver Grass, as if summoned by some mysterious power, grew wildly around her, Binding and extending, finally protecting her within them.
As these Blue Silver Grass continuously condensed and bound, they actually began to slowly merge, eventually forming a huge blue-gold vertical eye in front of Xiao Ruier.
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 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, beginning to dart about erratically in place, completely losing their direction.
Immediately after, they strangely began to bite each other, a horrifying sight.
"What kind of Soul Skill 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, saying:
"Why do I feel like I've seen this Blue Silver Grass somewhere before?"
