Douluo Continent: Blue Overlord

Chapter 10 Pressure Negotiation

Yu Yuanzhen's beard and hair stood on end, and lightning crackled all around him, sounding like muffled thunder.

"Dugu Bo, Sunset Forest is vast and unclaimed. How can you claim 'trespassing'? Do you think you can declare yourself king of this land?"

"Hmph!" A cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's emerald eyes, and the poisonous mist around him surged even more violently.

"Old Dragon, stop with your words! This medicinal garden is the culmination of my life's work; how can I allow others to covet it?"

"You'd better get out of here now! Otherwise... don't blame me for using my poison without mercy!"

After speaking, the poisonous mist surrounding Dugu Bo enveloped everyone.

His cold gaze swept over Yu Xiaohong and Wang Zhi, finally landing on Yu Tiancheng, who was being protected in the middle. Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Because he saw the child picking a strange flower, and he knew a little about the flower's uses;

The light shield surrounding this flower not only neutralizes the extreme heat and cold of this place, but also renders the toxins it emits ineffective.

Dugu Bo's mind raced, but he remained outwardly calm, controlling the slowly advancing poisonous fog to quietly stop, eventually solidifying it completely in mid-air, forming a sinister and terrifying barrier of poisonous fog.

"You dare!"

Yu Yuanzhen was unaware of the other party's sudden change of heart; he only felt it was a blatant provocation.

He immediately roared in anger, and his violent thunderous soul power soared into the sky, transforming into a majestic phantom of a thunder dragon that circled and roared above his head, standing shoulder to shoulder with the solidified poisonous mist.

"Hahaha..." Dugu Bo burst into wild laughter, but his eyes remained remarkably calm.

He judged in his heart that the old dragon probably didn't know the purpose of that big flower.

Therefore, he spoke even more forcefully: "Old Long! I heard you have a very precious grandson, is this the kid?"

I advise you to leave immediately. Is it worth sacrificing three juniors for a few herbs?

Dugu Bo's words were full of threats, clearly indicating that he had figured out the other party's weakness.

Yu Yuanzhen's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly; he was still unaware of the situation here.

He only thought this was Poison Douluo's home turf, and he wasn't entirely confident that he could protect the others.

Although his grandson said that the strange flower could protect him from all poisons, would he dare to gamble?

He obviously doesn't dare!

After all, the opponent is a Title Douluo who uses poison. Who would dare to gamble their entire fortune on a flower they don't even know?

But he was unwilling to leave just like that!

This place is full of rare and exotic plants. The few he recognizes are already priceless. Even without a precious medicine that can help him advance further, he doesn't want to give up easily.

But he couldn't afford the price!

Dugu Bo keenly sensed the other party's struggle, calmed himself down, and stopped applying further pressure. He used the poisonous fog and his gaze to create a silent deterrent, waiting for the other party to weigh the pros and cons and retreat on their own.

Just as the stalemate was at its peak, a few faint hissing sounds broke the silence.

Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yu Tiancheng being closely guarded by his parents on either side.

Holding the fragrant Qiluo Fairy Flower, which radiated a pale pink glow, steadily in her hands, she took more than a dozen steps forward.

The moment the soft glow emanating from the flowers came into contact with the pervasive poisonous fog, it erupted with a dense hissing sound.

The thick, ink-like poisonous fog, enough to terrify anyone below the Title Douluo level, melted and dissipated rapidly at the edge of the halo, just like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, unable to penetrate even a fraction of its depth!

Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted sharply, followed by a surge of joy.

My grandson's words were true; this flower could indeed counteract Dugu Bo's deadly poison.

With the old poison gone, the threat was greatly reduced, and with his daughter and son-in-law protecting Tiancheng, he was safe and sound.

His biggest weakness vanished instantly, a huge weight lifted from his heart, and a surge of fighting spirit and confidence in negotiation welled up within him.

Now, it's his turn to take the initiative!

The situation reversed instantly.

Dugu Bo's heart sank to the bottom; he was no match for Yu Yuanzhen in a one-on-one fight.

But this place... concerns his life and fortune, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose it!

A resolute madness flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, and he shouted sharply:

"Old Dragon! Don't be so smug! This flower light shield is only ten meters in diameter. It can only protect what's in front of you, not your entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"If you push me too far, I will wipe out your entire sect... not a single one of them!"

Yu Yuanzhen saw the madness in the other person's eyes, but he wasn't particularly concerned. He simply assumed the other person was acting, applying extreme pressure.

In his view, no one wants to offend the other to the point of death, and saying some harsh words at this moment is just to gain more benefits.

Therefore, he needs to appear more assertive and not fall behind.

Looking at the scene of negotiations before him, Yu Tiancheng felt that the time was right and they couldn't push things any further.

Others might not know, but he knew that Dugu Bo had actually been driven to a dead end.

Dugu Bo has been suffering from the backlash of the poison in his martial spirit for many years, and he needs the extreme heat and cold energy here to suppress the toxins in his body.

Once the other party feels they can't retain the right to use this place, they'll probably have to fight tooth and nail the next moment.

Therefore, before his grandfather could utter any more forceful words, Yu Tiancheng gently pushed aside his father Wang Zhi's protective arm, stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"Junior Yu Tiancheng greets Senior Poison Douluo!"

Yu Yuanzhen was preparing to pressure Dugu Bo, but when he noticed his grandson approaching, his heart tightened. He flashed in front of him and hissed, "Tiancheng, step back!"

Yu Xiaohong and Wang Zhi, who were guarding Yu Tiancheng on both sides, also felt immense pressure at this moment, their palms sweating with nervousness.

However, Yu Tiancheng simply turned to his grandfather, bowed, and said, "Grandfather, Senior Dugu... has an 'unspeakable reason' that we absolutely cannot lose this place. If we push him further, I fear it might truly lead to... mutual destruction!"

"An unspeakable secret?!" Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, his shock and disbelief instantly replaced by a sinister killing intent.

This little kid... dares to expose his deepest secret?!

He suppressed his turbulent emotions and feigned a disdainful sneer: "What a joke! What unspeakable trouble could an old man like me have?!"

Faced with Dugu Bo's seemingly fierce but actually cowardly retort, Yu Tiancheng's lips curled into a knowing smile that belied his age:

"Senior, this place is full of rare and exotic plants that my grandfather and parents don't recognize, but I do!"

For example, this item, named Fragrant Silk Fairy Product, is the nemesis of all poisons and has the effect of neutralizing all toxins;

Unfortunately, he could only counteract poison, not cure existing poison, making him useless to his predecessor!

Dugu Bo was shocked once again. The other party recognized these herbs! And he had even revealed his secret!

He stared intently at Yu Tiancheng, but did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tiancheng continued, "Senior, you probably don't know much about the many precious medicinal herbs here either, do you?"

Dugu Bo's voice was somewhat dry, with a hint of tension that was barely perceptible: "Kid... what do you want to say?"

"It doesn't mean anything." Yu Tiancheng's smile remained unchanged, his small body stood ramrod straight, his eyes bright and confident, and he spoke clearly, word by word:

"I just wanted to tell you, senior, that I might be able to resolve your hidden dangers!"

Don't let my young age fool you... I'm actually quite knowledgeable!
