Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

The Soul King shouted out subconsciously.

Chapter 230 The Tragic Dugu Bo

"It might be poison!"

The three of them quickly stopped and looked up at the water droplets that were being sprinkled.

One of the younger ones stepped forward, and based on his experience as a poison-attribute soul master, he turned around and said, "Boss, it's water, not poisonous."

"That kid is probably just trying to scare people."

"Damn it!" the Soul King cursed. "Chase them!"

Since it's not poisonous, there's nothing to hide from.

The three of them let the water droplets fall, landing on the ground, on their heads, shoulders, and bodies.

Then--

"what--"

Three screams rang out almost simultaneously, short and shrill.

The three of them shouted a few times before abruptly stopping.

The woods fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

In the distance, Wang Teng had already flown far away, never once looking back.

On the outskirts of Sunset Forest, Wang Teng's figure gradually receded into the distance and disappeared on the horizon.

Meanwhile, deep within the poisonous miasma that had spread to a radius of more than ten miles around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, a giant snake lay quietly.

It was a Jade Serpent King, twenty or thirty meters long, its scales gleaming with a dark light in the poisonous mist.

However, the Azure Serpent King's body, which should have been majestic, was now in a pitiful state.

Its scales were all broken, its flesh was torn and bleeding profusely from the surrounding toxins.

In addition, there were some strips of cloth resembling clothing hanging on the body of the Azure Serpent King.

In short, it's no longer possible to discern the original appearance of this Azure Serpent King.

"puff!"

After an unknown amount of time, the giant snake suddenly convulsed and opened its mouth to spew out a stream of extremely foul-smelling green blood.

Blood splattered on the ground, hissing and steaming, completely corroding the surrounding vegetation.

The giant snake slowly opened its eyes a crack, its murky gaze filled with confusion.

"Just now... it seemed like a Soul Master flew by in the sky?"

He was momentarily dazed, then his consciousness gradually cleared, and he immediately felt an overwhelming, excruciating pain all over his body.

In fact, this Azure Serpent King was none other than Dugu Bo, who had unleashed his Martial Soul True Form.

"What on earth is going on here...?"

Dugu Bo struggled to lift his head, scanning the swirling poisonous fog around him, his eyes flashing with horror.

"How did the surrounding toxins become so potent?"

"This poison... a little analysis reveals more than a dozen toxins, it's so complicated."

"Moreover, this toxin can even penetrate my body and become entangled with my own poison..."

At this moment, Dugu Bo felt his body's condition, and his heart sank little by little.

He originally had an uncontrollable amount of poison in his body, and he was only able to maintain a balance thanks to the special environment around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

But now, stimulated by this potent external poison, the toxins in his body, which had been barely suppressed, have completely erupted.

The two poisons churned violently within Dugu Bo's body, causing him excruciating pain in his internal organs.

"No way..."

The Azure Serpent King—Dugu Bo's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and his consciousness began to fade again.

"I can't hold it in anymore... Yan'er, Grandpa might... collapse here."

"You must...be strong..."

Dugu Bo gasped for breath, his enormous snake body gradually going limp.

Just before his consciousness was about to completely sink into darkness, the sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang in his mind again.

—A Soul Master flew over.

—Someone can fly out from here.

—Then, can he do it too?

This thought struck Dugu Bo like a bolt of lightning, igniting his will to survive.

"No... I can't die... What will happen to Yan'er if I die?"

Who will cure the poison in her body?

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, a last glimmer of light flashing within them.

This was a final burst of energy before death, and Dugu Bo knew it.

But he can't care about that now.

At this moment, Dugu Bo's mind was working faster than ever before.

Countless thoughts rushed to his mind; he desperately tried to think and search for a way to survive.

One breath in, one breath out.

Dugu Bo's aura grew weaker and weaker, and his consciousness began to sink.

Just before he was about to lose consciousness again, a flash of inspiration struck Dugu Bo.

"Poison pill..."

He recalled a method he had repeatedly considered over the years.

Condensing poison pills was his choice after reaching the pinnacle of his poison-attribute soul mastery.

But that method was too dangerous. He pondered it for many years but never dared to try it again.

But now... not trying means certain death.

"Ha ha……"

Dugu Bo gave a bitter laugh and used his last bit of strength to lift his head.

"This method was originally devised to cure the poison in my body, but I have never dared to use it."

"Now it's all good, God has chosen for me."

He took a deep breath, and the remaining soul power within his body began to circulate wildly.

"Come on, gather all your soul power and all your poison into one place, condense it into an inner core, and make it my everything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo looked up at the sky and let out a long roar.

The twenty- or thirty-meter-long Azure Serpent King suddenly straightened its body, raised its head high, and opened its huge mouth towards the gray sky.

"Hiss—ha!"

A screech resounded, causing the surrounding poisonous fog to churn violently.

Immediately afterwards, a bead slowly rose from the mouth of the Azure Serpent King.

Finally, the bead hung directly above Dugu Bo, spinning rapidly.

The bead was the size of a longan, entirely emerald green, with faint dark patterns flowing across its surface; it was the poison pill that Dugu Bo had condensed over many years.

Over the years, Dugu Bo has survived to this day solely by absorbing excess toxins from his body using this poison pill.

"I wager all my cultivation and experience—Poison Pill, disperse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emerald green poison pill trembled violently and then shattered with a "crack".

Countless emerald fragments scattered and flew, falling into the surrounding poisonous miasma.

In an instant, Dugu Bo felt as if his body had been hollowed out. The toxins that he had suppressed for many years surged through his body like a flood.

At this moment, Dugu Bo felt as if every inch of his flesh was being gnawed by millions of ants, or as if his scales were being peeled off alive and salt was being sprinkled on his flesh.

"pain."

"An indescribable pain."

The Azure Serpent King's body convulsed violently, and layers of black blood seeped from beneath its scales—filthy blood corroded by toxins.

However, even in such pain, Dugu Bo dared not faint.

After struggling for a while, Dugu Bo finally used the last bit of strength in his body to concentrate on circulating the soul power within his body, guiding the violent toxins and scattered soul power to converge in one direction.

"The poison pill disperses, the inner core gathers!"

At this moment, Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly, but it carried an undeniable firmness.

Immediately afterwards, a golden phantom slowly appeared in Dugu Bo's snake mouth.

The phantom was initially very faint, as if a gust of wind could disperse it, but with Dugu Bo's guidance, the surrounding toxins and soul power began to surge towards it frantically.

Chapter 231 Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi

As time went on, the phantom in the giant snake's mouth became more and more solid.

Soon, a semi-solid sphere slowly took shape.

Then, the snake's mouth slowly closed.

The sphere was trapped inside the mouth of the Azure Serpent King.

Dugu Bo finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.

His enormous serpentine body crashed heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of poisonous mist.
