Seeing that Liu Erlong and Ye Qiu seemed to have given up resisting
, Nangong Ming was somewhat puzzled. He leaned forward, his hoarse, overlapping voice ringing out,
"What? Kid, are you going to surrender and join us?"
Under Liu Erlong's confused gaze, Ye Qiu gently shook his head.
"Joining you is impossible."
"I just want to end this battle quickly."
As he spoke, Ye Qiu leisurely untied a brocade pouch from his waist.
Hearing this, Nangong Ming frowned and said coldly,
"End the battle quickly? Fine, then I'll grant your wish!"
Without waiting for their resistance, he immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
The sixth spirit rings of the two beneath their feet and Nangong's seventh spirit ring flashed.
He aimed the arrow at Ye Qiu.
"Kid, die!"
"Fusion Skill - Heaven and Earth Annihilation!"
Whoosh!
A blood-red arrow, entwined with a dragon's shadow, shot through the air, the explosion echoing through the air.
Even Liu Erlong's expression changed.
"Ye Qiu!" She grabbed Ye Qiu's hand tightly, trying to pull him away.
"Calm down!" Ye Qiu pulled her back, gently squeezing her soft hand.
He glanced at the blood-red arrow that was already causing a throbbing pain between his brows.
Black flames instantly ignited on the arrow.
Before it even reached Ye Qiu,
it had already turned to ashes.
Nangong Ming frowned, moved to another tree, and drew his bow again.
Three stars in a row!
Watching the blood-red arrows coming again with overwhelming force,
Ye Qiu's Amaterasu was effective,
but it couldn't withstand the opponent's rapid-fire attack!
A smile appeared on his lips as he held the brocade pouch in one hand.
He said softly, "Senior, if you don't act soon, my Yan Yan will be living a life of widowhood!"
"Ye Qiu?" Liu Erlong looked at him strangely, wondering who he was talking to.
Anxiety flashed across her face as she watched the arrows fly by like lightning.
She took a few steps closer to Ye Qiu.
Suddenly, with a whoosh! As
Ye Qiu finished speaking, a streak of dark green light shot
out from the brocade pouch.
Liu Erlong looked up in surprise. A somewhat gaunt old man
with green hair and beard, a gray robe, and dark green pupils stood in mid-air. Nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—below him, proclaiming his terrifying cultivation. "Fifth Spirit Skill, Serpent Heavenly Shield!" A magnetic, slightly aged voice echoed in the air. The old man's fifth spirit ring flashed, and a massive, lifelike Azure Serpent King appeared behind him. The Azure Serpent King coiled once, quickly protecting Ye Qiu and the others in the center. A 360-degree, all-encompassing protective shield appeared and disappeared. *Poof!* A blood-red arrow pierced the shield, embedding itself in the phantom's body, before slowly stopping and vanishing without a trace. Just as they finished dealing with the enemy's attack, a complaining voice rang out. "Boy! You almost suffocated me!" The old man glared at Ye Qiu unkindly. The space inside was already small, and this kid had sealed it off, making it incredibly suffocating! Such distinctive features—who else could it be but Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo?! The item in Ye Qiu's hand was none other than Dugu Bo's soul tool. A spatial soul tool capable of holding living beings, the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch! "This is Poison Douluo!?" Liu Erlong, as the dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, naturally recognized the infamous old poison master. She stared at Ye Qiu in shock. So this was his preparation! At the same time, she was filled with doubt; how did Ye Qiu get involved with Poison Douluo? Living a life of celibacy?! Ye Qiu's voice echoed in her mind, and Liu Erlong's expression suddenly changed, a realization dawning on her. She pursed her lips, looking at the young man beside her, her expression somber and complex. "Hehe... I'm just having trouble!" Ye Qiu, oblivious to Liu Erlong's unease, said with a forced smile to Dugu Bo. "Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later!" Dugu Bo glanced at Liu Erlong standing beside him. He snorted coldly and then flew towards Nangong Ming. Only a few words had passed since Dugu Bo appeared. Seeing the dark green figure in the air, Nangong Ming's blood-red pupils widened in shock. "Not good! Damn it... where did this Title Douluo come from! Wasn't his spatial ability restricted?!" Suddenly, Ye Qiu waved the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch in his hand at him. Nangong Ming's face immediately darkened. His knowledge wasn't bad; if he wasn't mistaken, it should be a soul tool that could hold living beings! Damn it! He didn't expect this brat to carry his grandfather around! Why didn't he bring out the Title Douluo earlier? This is truly unethical! His mind raced, and Nangong Ming gritted his teeth. Seeing Dugu Bo charging towards him, Nangong Ming drew his bow again. Several soul rings shone brightly beneath his feet. Arrows shot forth in countless bursts. It was still a rain of arrows, intertwined with red lines. The trees, already severed in half, suffered even more damage. Fusion Technique: Heavenly Net! After the attack, Nangong Ming dared not linger any longer and immediately fled into the jungle. He didn't dare look back.
This move had a terrifying attack range, and Nangong Ming could only try to make Dugu Bo worry about the safety of Ye Qiu and the others.
Unfortunately,
this little scheme was completely useless.
Not only were Ye Qiu and the others not afraid of this move, but Dugu Bo also had no need to turn back.
With a thought, his eyes flashed green light.
The Azure Scale Serpent King behind him looked up at the net falling from the sky, and its eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling green light.
As two beams of green laser light streaked across the sky,
the arrows in the air and the connecting thin lines were all petrified.
This was Dugu Bo's head soul bone skill - Medusa's Gaze!
It was powerful enough to even petrify energy.
Seeing Nangong Ming trying to escape, Dugu Bo's face turned cold, and his eighth soul ring flashed.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze!"
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die." Nangong Ming jumped frantically between the trees.
His body was already soaked with cold sweat.
As Dugu Bo finished speaking, his eighth spirit ring expanded rapidly, quickly exceeding a radius of a hundred meters.
Everything in this space seemed to freeze.
Falling withered leaves, a gentle breeze,
and
the frantically fleeing Nangong Ming.
In this moment of stillness, Dugu Bo's sixth spirit ring flickered.
Behind him, the thick, ferocious Azure Serpent King tumbled several times in the air before charging towards Nangong Ming's location.
Sixth Spirit Skill, Azure Serpent King Break!
The terrifying impact uprooted many trees, sending them crashing to the ground.
Under these circumstances, Nangong Ming directly and completely caught Dugu Bo's sixth spirit skill.
The powerful force even contained the Azure Serpent King's poison.
Boom!
The ground exploded, but only briefly returned to normal.
A thin layer of green mist emanated from a huge crater.
Nangong Ming coughed up blood, his face ashen.
He looked like he had been poisoned.
A flash of blood, and Nanming fell out of his body.
Long red hair, a slender body, limp and lifeless, black blood dripping from his mouth and nose.
His once burly figure had returned to normal, and Nangong's fierce, buzz-cut face now showed weakness.
Yet, he still forced himself to stand.
"Nanming, don't lie there, run!"
Nangong looked at his brother lying on the ground.
Enduring the pain, he bent down to help Nanming up and continue their escape.
"Ah! My leg!"
Nangong, who had just stood up, immediately felt a sharp pain in his leg. He
immediately fell back into the pit.
"Brother! Ah! My leg! No...no!"
Nanming cried out in panic, then his voice turned to terror and screams.
Looking down, he was shocked!
Black flames were burning on his calf.
"No! Let my brother go! Save me! Save me!"
The eerie black flames slowly spread.
Nanming's wailing didn't move Nangong.
Cold sweat beaded on Nangong's forehead.
Now he understood that this time, there was no escape!
His leg had also been set ablaze by Ye Qiu's Amaterasu.
The intense pain was unbearable, his face ashen.
Yet he gritted his teeth, his body trembling.
Soon, both of their legs were completely burned away.
Nanming, exhausted from his constant screams, was nearing unconsciousness.
Nangong, supporting himself with his hands, turned around.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Ye Qiu, who was slowly walking towards him.
Ye Qiu held Liu Erlong's hand, blood still flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Looking at Nangong and Nanming,
a fierce killing intent flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes.
Although their martial soul fusion technique had been broken, and Ye Qiu's Divine Might could be used normally again, his killing
intent remained undiminished as he looked at Nangong and Nanming lying on the ground.
The fusion skill of these two brothers' martial souls posed a great threat to his life.
If he accidentally let them escape, he would be unable to eat or sleep!
In the air, Dugu Bo slowly descended.
Looking at his unfortunate brothers in the pit, his eyes showed no emotion.
Instead, he was somewhat surprised.
"I wonder where these people came from? The world of this continent is about to change!"
"Senior Dugu, don't you know that the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire has been assassinated?"
Ye Qiu looked at him strangely.
"Is that so?" Dugu Bo looked surprised.
Since Dugu Yan left, he had rarely visited the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
The Dugu Mansion had almost become a mere decoration.
Then he realized what had happened and pointed at the two brothers in the pit.

"You mean these are the ones who did it?"
Ye Qiu was speechless. Wasn't Dugu Bo a bit too aloof?
He nodded slightly:
"Yes! They should be the subordinates of that Title Douluo called Evil Blood!"
"Evil Blood? The new retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire?" Dugu Bo stroked his beard lightly.
Noticing Ye Qiu's slightly surprised look, he glared at him and said, "You brat, what's with that look? I'm a Title Douluo, after all. The Heaven Dou royal family would invite me to attend such an event!"
"That's true," Ye Qiu nodded reluctantly.
"Although I couldn't go..." Dugu Bo added quietly.
"Uh, senior really has a personality." Ye Qiu glanced at him speechlessly, almost letting him get away with it.
"Haha. Of course!" Dugu Bo laughed loudly, stroking his dark green beard.
"Heh, it seems the Heavenly Dou royal family has let a wolf into their house this time!" A hint of
seriousness flashed across his face, then he shook his head.
He had always been a loner and wasn't particularly interested in these matters. He glanced at Ye Qiu discreetly. As long as this kid doesn't get involved... hiss... that seems unlikely?! "Ahem." Putting aside his thoughts on these troublesome matters, Dugu Bo glanced at the two people in the pit and coughed twice. Then, he put his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Qiu, saying, "You brat? What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to clean up the battlefield?" "How could I!" Ye Qiu smiled happily. He turned his head and gently patted Liu Erlong's hand before letting go of her. He walked towards Nangong and Nanming. Dugu Bo squinted at Liu Erlong standing beside him, his eyes showing some surprise. Liu Erlong glanced at him, also somewhat curious. "This brat..." Dugu Bo muttered, then looked at Ye Qiu's back, his face twitching. "Could you answer my question before you die?" Ye Qiu opened his Sharingan and squatted down beside Nangong. He wasn't afraid of a last-ditch effort. Having suffered such severe injuries and been poisoned by the Azure Serpent King, it was already remarkable that he could maintain his sanity. "Heh... I have nothing to say. I'll be waiting for you down there!" Nangong's throat was still choked with blood, his voice hoarse, his eyes as fierce as ever. Ye Qiu frowned but didn't press him. Seeing him turn to look at his younger brother, Nangong sneered again. "Don't be delusional. He's just a Soul Emperor. What do you expect him to know?" Nangong looked at Ye Qiu mockingly. He wasn't lying; even as a Soul Saint, he was merely following the orders of the Evil Blood Douluo and the others. Ye Qiu quietly watched him. Nangong wasn't about to back down either, meeting Ye Qiu's Sharingan, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat dazed. Ye Qiu's face paled instantly, and he swayed slightly. "Ye Qiu!" Seeing this, Liu Erlong immediately ran to his side and supported him. "Ye Qiu, are you alright?" "I'm fine." Ye Qiu shook his head. He had only intended to use Tsukuyomi to create some illusions, to confirm, and perhaps even find some information, but he almost suffered a backlash. "Hahaha, don't waste your time. You won't get anything from me!" Nangong's aura weakened further, clearly indicating that he was also struggling to deal with Ye Qiu's illusions. He glanced one last time at his good-for-nothing brother, then seemed to mock himself. It seemed he was just as useless! "Do it, give us a quick death!" "Alright!" Ye Qiu finished speaking and began to attack. Although he hadn't obtained any valuable information, he was certain that the other party wasn't lying. *Thud!* A sharp, frost-covered Blue Silver Emperor suddenly pierced through Nangong's throat from Ye Qiu's hand. "Cough cough." Nangong coughed twice, then his eyelids grew heavy, and he slowly lost consciousness. To avoid being too bloody, Ye Qiu froze his blood, preventing any crimson seepage. Turning to deal with Nanming, he discovered that Nanming had already quietly passed away. "Erlong, step back!" "Okay!" Liu Erlong nodded slightly and stood up and stepped back. Ye Qiu activated Amaterasu in his eyes, dismantling the soul bones and soul tools from Nangong and Nanming. Then he burned their corpses. "Huh?" Ye Qiu looked at the blood-red light in the ashes and picked up a blood-red bead. What is this?! Without much thought, Ye Qiu quickly stored these things in his Divine Might Space. "Kid, you really don't have any dietary restrictions!" As soon as Ye Qiu walked over, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu and Liu Erlong with a mocking expression. Obviously, he also recognized Liu Erlong's identity. "Uh, senior, this matter is a bit complicated." Ye Qiu smiled wryly, about to explain. Dugu Bo waved his hand, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice . "Alright, you can explain to Yan Yan later. I can't interfere with your affairs. This change is too fast. Just two days ago you brought three little ones to pay your respects to this old man, and today you've changed to the eldest." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a piercing gaze fall upon him. Turning his head, he saw Liu Erlong staring intently, not at all intimidated by Dugu Bo's Title Douluo cultivation. Even though she still looked youthful and beautiful , her age still felt like a thorn between her and Ye Qiu!
Especially the three younger ones mentioned by Dugu Bo, which stung her heart
when she saw Liu Erlong's unfriendly gaze.
"Your temper is even bigger than your father's!"
Dugu Bo frowned, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
"Hehe." Ye Qiu chuckled and took Liu Erlong's outstretched hand, gently holding it in his palm.
Liu Erlong's resentful and heartbroken gaze was a bit too much for him.
"Senior, let's take stock of our spoils first!" Ye Qiu looked at Dugu Bo.
Seeing him nod,
he activated his divine power and disappeared into the Star Dou Great Forest,
leaving behind only devastation.
...
In the Divine Power Space.
Ye Qiu and Dugu Bo sat facing each other at the stone table.
Liu Erlong sat beside Ye Qiu, brewing tea with an elegant demeanor.
Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected that the seemingly carefree Liu Erlong would be so refined.
Little did he know, Liu Erlong had been learning these things from Tang Yuehua at Yuexuan.
Picking up the tea she had poured, Ye Qiu took a small sip. It was slightly bitter at first, but a subtle sweetness lingered in his throat.
"Senior, this is all the spoils we've got! A total of seven soul bones!"
Ye Qiu chuckled, placing the soul bones one by one in front of Dugu Bo.
He didn't take out the two soul bones belonging to Liu Erlong .
Aside from the three soul bones dropped by the evil soul master teams, the Nangong and Nanming brothers had actually yielded four soul bones!
This was more than most Title Douluos.
Especially Nanming, who possessed three:
a right arm bone over 13,000 years old and a left arm bone over 9,000 years old, both enhancing strength.
And in his soul tool, there was also a 50,000-year-old trunk bone that he hadn't yet absorbed!
Of course,
the best quality was the skull possessed by Nangong, which appeared to be at least 60,000 years old!
Its function was to allow soul masters to better concentrate and improve their mental power!
"Hehehe, you little brat, you really didn't lie to this old man. It's rare that you still remember me after such a good thing!"
Dugu Bo gently stroked the soul bones, letting out his somewhat grating, strange laugh.
"Didn't you say you wanted a set of inheritance soul bones, senior? Now pick out a few suitable ones!"
Ye Qiu covered his face, quickly interrupting Dugu Bo to stop him from laughing any longer.
"Alright! You can keep them!" Dugu Bo's smile vanished, and he suddenly pushed the soul bones toward Ye Qiu with a serious expression.
"Hmm? Senior... what's wrong?" Ye Qiu looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly didn't want them anymore.
"You little brat, tell me, who am I supposed to pass these soul bones on to?" Dugu Bo tugged at his beard in annoyance.
"You've already taken my only granddaughter, you can't just abandon her, can you?"
"I see," Ye Qiu nodded slowly.
In Dugu Bo's current situation, apart from Dugu Yan, he was practically all alone.
Dugu Yan and Ye Qiu hadn't even had a child yet, so these things were just decorations for him.
However, Ye Qiu thought of his parents-in-law, still lying in their ice coffins.
Once he revived them,
Dugu Bo wouldn't have this problem anymore.
Ye Qiu was about to suggest that Dugu Bo choose some suitable items to equip himself with
when Dugu Bo's next words dispelled his idea.
"Moreover, the only one suitable for my Azure Serpent Emperor Soul Master among these soul bones is that seven-thousand-year-old emerald green left arm bone, which seems to increase recovery power,"
Dugu Bo said calmly, sipping his fragrant tea. He continued,
"So, you still have to take responsibility and treat Yan Yan well. I've staked the entire Dugu family on you!"
"Senior, you don't need to say more. Ye Qiu will do his best!"
Ye Qiu assured Dugu Bo.
Since Dugu Bo didn't find anything he liked, Ye Qiu turned to Liu Erlong beside him.
"You can keep it yourself,"
Liu Erlong gently shook her head, leaning on Ye Qiu's shoulder.
Ye Qiu was enough for her.
Ye Qiu glanced at Liu Erlong, who seemed preoccupied.
He didn't say anything more and moved the soul bones elsewhere.
His wealth had truly increased. He
had at least ten soul bones.
Even if he didn't need them, they were excellent for winning people's hearts.
"By the way, senior!"
Ye Qiu noticed his arm was deeply sunken and suddenly remembered something.
"Kid, there's something I need your help with."
"What is it? Speak up, stop beating around the bush! You'll have to call me grandpa from now on!"
Dugu Bo raised his eyelids and glanced at Ye Qiu indifferently.
"..."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu's face darkened.
Why did this old guy always want him to call him grandpa?
Liu Erlong looked at Ye Qiu's stiff profile and smiled slightly.
Ye Qiu was indeed more interesting now.
"Erlong has broken through to level 80, so I want senior to help me hunt a soul!"
Ye Qiu said slowly, pouting helplessly.
