Chapter 94 What Did You Feed Your Mistress?
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the severely injured and weakened Dugu Bo.
His sixth soul ring flashed, leaving a fake body behind. Using the effect of his soul skill, he became invisible and sped towards Tang Chuan, Tang San, and Meng Yiran, who were being protected by the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
When Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer struck, only a layer of snake molt remained on the ground.
"Not good!"
Tang Hao realized what was happening and turned to look at Tang Chuan.
"Um?"
Tang San, who had been observing the battlefield with his Purple Demon Eyes, noticed an unusual wind in front of him. Without thinking, he pulled the trigger of the Zhuge Crossbow.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Amidst a series of exploding mechanisms, thirty-six poisoned crossbow bolts were fired simultaneously, sealing off a large area in front.
"Pfft!"
Several soft sounds of flesh being pierced rang out, followed by a muffled groan in the air. Dugu Bo was forced to reveal himself, with several crossbow bolts clearly embedded in his shoulders and arms.
"Stop him!"
Long Gong Meng Shu was both surprised and furious, never expecting Dugu Bo to appear here.
The two reacted extremely quickly. The dragon-headed cane and the snake-headed cane intertwined with light and merged with their soul power, instantly forming a phantom of a dragon and a snake.
"Spirit Fusion Skill, Dragon and Serpent Combined Attack!"
The phantom of a dragon and snake roared out and crashed into the injured Dugu Bo.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo knew it was too late to capture the three of them. He locked his gaze on Tang San, who was closest to him, and suddenly accelerated.
While dodging the impact of the dragon and snake phantom, he grabbed Tang San's arm and slipped away.
"The mistress!"
Tang Chuan gasped in shock.
Tang Hao reacted quickly, realizing what was happening as the Dragon and Snake Goddesses activated their Spirit Fusion Skill. However, before he could make a move, he saw Dugu Bo gripping Tang San's throat tightly, slapping his chest with his other hand, and spitting out a green bead the size of a dragon's eye.
Then, with lightning speed, he forcefully stuffed it into Tang San's mouth and used his soul power to help Tang San swallow it.
"Cough cough..."
Tang San felt a foul stench rush to his throat, followed by an indescribable numbness spreading from his abdomen. Under Dugu Bo's urging, his face turned a turquoise green, as if he had been poisoned.
Dugu Bo carried Tang San and retreated behind an ancient tree.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand, he patted Tang San's head with the other and said to Tang Hao in a straightforward manner, "Can you stop now?"
What did you feed the mistress?
Tang Hao approached, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer. His soul power condensed once more as he weighed the pros and cons, deciding whether to abandon the mistress and kill Dugu Bo directly.
"It's nothing, just the Jade Phosphor Poison Pill that I've condensed from my mastery of poison techniques."
Dugu Bo chuckled, his tone laced with threat: "This poison pill is tied to my life. If I live, he lives; if I die, he will die with me!"
"Moreover, once the poison pill enters his body, without my antidote within half an hour, even a Title Douluo cannot save him!"
"If you don't believe me, feel free to try it!"
"With this kid to accompany me in death, I won't be too lonely."
Blood trickled from the corner of Dugu Bo's mouth, yet he smiled smugly.
Tang Hao's killing intent intensified, but he had to hesitate. Xiao Chuan and Xiao San were inseparable, and if he didn't care about Xiao San's life or death, Xiao Chuan would definitely be heartbroken.
It wouldn't be good if this caused a rift between me and Xiao Chuan.
But this old poisoner not only controls the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, but he's also incredibly vengeful. Letting him live would be tantamount to raising a tiger to cause future trouble...
"I ask for nothing else but to save my life!"
Dugu Bo saw that Tang Hao was hesitant to act rashly, so he added, "If you swear to spare my life and let me leave, I will swear on my Spirit that once I am safe, I will remove the poison pill from his body and will never retaliate."
"Dad, say yes."
As the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Tang Chuan suddenly spoke up: "The safety of the mistress is the most important thing."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao suppressed his killing intent, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand disappeared, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Poison, if you dare to play any tricks, I will definitely grind you to dust!"
Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he heard an anxious voice coming from deep in the dense forest, and his expression immediately changed.
"Grandfather!"
"Grandpa, where are you?"
Before the words were finished, a girl with short, dark purple hair ran out of the woods.
When Dugu Bo saw his granddaughter suddenly appear, he secretly groaned, "Why is Yanyan coming out to find me at this time!"
"Stop!"
The Clear Sky Hammer reappeared in Tang Hao's hand, positioned in front of Dugu Yan, who had just run out of the woods.
Dugu Yan froze in fright. Looking at her grandfather, who was covered in wounds in the distance, tears welled up in her eyes: "Grandpa, what happened to you?"
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter and sighed inwardly.
They originally intended to exchange the child for their own lives, but unexpectedly, Yanyan ran away and fell into the other side's hands. Now, both sides have hostages, which makes things difficult.
He gritted his teeth and pleaded with Tang Hao, "Your Majesty, the child is innocent."
"If you let Yanyan go, I'll let this kid go. As long as Yanyan's safety is guaranteed, I'll do whatever I want with him without hesitation."
"Grandfather!"
"Yanyan, be good, go back to your place and wait, Grandpa will be here soon."
Dugu Bo spoke to Dugu Yan, then raised his hand and placed it on Tang San's chest, injecting his soul power into him.
Tang San grunted, spat out the poison pill, and his complexion returned to normal, though he was still somewhat weak.
Dugu Bo took out another porcelain bottle, poured out a black antidote, and stuffed it into Tang San's mouth: "Swallow it, and the poison will be neutralized."
Then, ignoring Tang San, he slowly walked towards Dugu Yan.
Seeing this, Tang Hao didn't stop them, but instead put away the Clear Sky Hammer: "Take your granddaughter and get out of here!"
He wanted to keep Dugu Bo, but in front of Xiao Chuan, he didn't want to go back on his word, so he had no choice but to let Dugu Bo go.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Dugu Bo thanked him repeatedly, walked to Dugu Yan who was still wiping away tears, and took her hand to walk down the mountain.
"Wait a moment."
Long Gong called out to Dugu Bo, and said to Tang Hao, "Your Majesty, if we let Dugu Bo leave like this, what if he harbors thoughts of revenge? We won't be safe in his lair. It would be better to let them stay a little longer."
"Um."
Tang Hao nodded, agreeing with what Long Gong said.
Dugu Bo wanted to speak up, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. He knew that whatever he said would be wrong. As long as he could protect Yanyan, he didn't care what they did.
Tang Chuan quickly walked to Tang San's side and asked with concern, "Little San, how are you feeling?"
"Brother, I'm fine."
Tang San stretched his arms and smiled to reassure Tang Chuan, "The antidote is very effective, but I'm still a little weak."
"It's good that you're alright."
Tang Chuan helped Tang San walk up the mountain.
Long Gong Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a glance, then withdrew their Spirits. Meng Yiran also came over and whispered to Tang San, "Are you really alright?"
"Your face was all green just now, it looked really scary."
Tang San nodded to her without saying anything more.
Then, led by Tang Chuan, the group headed towards the mountaintop, with Dugu Bo protecting Dugu Yan as they followed closely behind.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, Tang Hao couldn't help but squint.
Before them was an inverted cone-shaped valley, from which thick, humid heat rose, carrying a distinctive sulfurous smell.
"This is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?"
"It should be..."
Tang Chuan spoke up from behind, his tone somewhat uncertain.
After all, he had to maintain his persona. He pretended to be wide-eyed, even though he had only received divine guidance and had not actually seen it.
