Chapter 514 Tang San's Devious Tricks
Although it was only a tiny drop of emerald venom, it struck Yu Xiaogang's chest like a slam, the immense force sending him flying. He crashed heavily into a large tree in the forest before slowly sliding to the ground.
The terrifying force exacerbated Yu Xiaogang's already severe injuries, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices.
This time, he didn't even have time to utter a sound before he completely passed out.
Not only that, the emerald green venom that attacked also took the opportunity to enter Yu Xiaogang's body, invading his limbs and bones along the meridians, turning his entire body green.
Whether it was Dugu Bo playing a prank on purpose or not, this drop of emerald green venom didn't seem to be very toxic. It wouldn't take Yu Xiaogang's life, but it turned him into a little green man who was glowing all over.
"Xiao Gang."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang once again knocked away by Dugu Bo, his fate unknown, Flander was filled with grief and indignation:
"Poison Douluo, you..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was forced to the ground again by Dugu Bo's suddenly increased soul power pressure.
"teacher--"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Xiao Wu's injury had already filled him with hatred, and now seeing Dugu Bo attack his teacher again, the hatred in his heart almost made him lose his mind.
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Dugu Bo with a sinister gaze:
"Dugu Bo, you dare to hurt Xiao Wu and the teacher? I will fight you to the death!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily:
"Haha—kid, are you kidding me? Your life is in my hands, how can you be a mortal enemy? I can snap your neck with just a little effort."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo tightened his grip on Tang San's neck, making it difficult for Tang San to breathe, and his face turned red.
Seeing this, Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, felt the red light in his eyes grow even brighter, but he still did not make a move.
"Kid, tell me the antidote you know, and I might consider sparing your life."
Dugu Bo slightly loosened his grip on Tang San's neck, but his words were extremely threatening:
"Otherwise, not only you, but also the teachers and students of Shrek Academy behind you will all lose their lives here."
Tang San was still having difficulty breathing, but he had gained a brief respite. He looked coldly at Dugu Bo and sneered:
"Are we leaving our lives here?"
"Heh, Dugu Bo, do you think killing all of us will bring you a good ending?"
"Some people are not people you can afford to mess with."
Dugu Bo said dismissively:
"Oh, you mean some of these people have powerful connections that I can't afford to offend? Let me see who they are."
After speaking, his gaze swept past Tang San and swept over the Shrek Academy students. He first glanced at Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Qin Ming, and then swept past the three of them to look at the other Shrek Seven Devils.
He paused briefly on each of the four people: Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Ning Rongrong, and the unconscious Xiao Wu.
Staring at them with Dugu Bo's icy gaze, which was as cold as a venomous snake, everyone at Shrek Academy broke out in a cold sweat and felt uneasy.
Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Qin Ming were the three who suffered the most from the pressure of the soul force, and they lay on the ground, struggling to hold on.
Dai Mubai was a proud and arrogant person. Despite his inner fear, he stubbornly held his head high and refused to bow down.
Ma Hongjun didn't have that much courage, so he lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, afraid that Dugu Bo would notice him.
When Yu Tianheng saw his most respected uncle, Yu Xiaogang, being targeted and severely injured by Dugu Bo, he was filled with grief and indignation, but dared not say anything.
He knew that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was not someone who could be judged by ordinary standards; the more he talked in front of him, the faster he would die.
So he chose to keep quiet and protect himself.
Like Yu Tianheng, Ning Rongrong was one of the people present who understood Dugu Bo's character the best.
Facing the titled Dugu Bo, she had no intention of resisting at all, and pulled Oscar down to lower their heads and make themselves less noticeable.
"The Star Luo Royal Family Dai Family, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and..."
Dugu Bo's gaze swept over Xiao Wu, who lay unconscious in front of him, and he smiled mysteriously before shifting his gaze back to Tang San, whom he was holding in his hand.
"And you, kid, you're all indeed remarkable figures, each with a powerful background and extraordinary origins, but so what?"
"Let's not even talk about whether those old fogies in your family or sect can beat me. Even if they could, so what?"
"Once I kill you all and destroy the evidence, what evidence will your families and sects have to hold me accountable?"
"You know, for me, having no remains is a very simple matter."
At this point, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Dugu Bo's face, and he pointed to Xiao Wu, who was lying unconscious in front of him:
"How about we use this little rabbit and let you try it out?"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo raised his hand, and a ball of emerald green flame appeared in his palm, as if he was about to make a move.
Tang San panicked and quickly spoke up to stop them:
"Wait, senior, isn't it just that you want the antidote? I'll give it to you."
Dugu Bo smiled slightly, but did not extinguish the emerald flame in his hand:
"What, you're willing to talk now? Is it because of this little rabbit? Kid, she seems to be very important to you."
Tang San's heart was in his throat, fearing that Dugu Bo might kill Xiao Wu at the slightest provocation, so he forced himself to say:
"Senior, please don't hurt her. I'll tell you everything you want to know. But before that, could you please take your hands off my neck?"
"Okay."
Dugu Bo immediately released Tang San:
"Tell me. What is your so-called antidote?"
With his feet firmly on the ground, Tang San finally felt a sense of security. He took a few deep breaths to alleviate the symptoms of oxygen deficiency before speaking:
"I will teach you the antidote myself, senior. However, before I do, I hope you can promise me one thing: spare everyone at Shrek Academy."
Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed with a green light as he coldly stared at Tang San:
"Kid, you've got some nerve. At a time like this, you still want to negotiate with me? You don't think I'm afraid to kill you, do you? Killing you is as easy for me as crushing an ant."
Tang San quickly spoke up:
"I wouldn't dare. Of course I believe you would dare to kill me, senior. Just as you said, with your strength, killing all of us would be a piece of cake."
"But, senior, are you really going to kill me?"
Looking at Dugu Bo, whose eyes flickered slightly, Tang San revealed a confident smile:
"You should know that the poison you suffered was caused by the backlash of the poison inherent in your martial soul itself, which cannot be suppressed by soul power at all."
"Moreover, the symptoms of poisoning in your body will continue to worsen over time. Logically speaking, you should have died long ago, but you have survived until today."
"Although I don't know how you suppressed the backlash from the toxins, I guess you must have eaten some rare and precious herbs, which alleviated the backlash to some extent."
"But that precious herb doesn't seem to help you for a lifetime. In a few years, even if you don't die from the poison, you will be tormented to death by the backlash from the toxin."
"Senior Poison Douluo, your time is running out."
Dugu Bo stared at Tang San with a burning green light in his eyes, as if he were looking at a rare piece of unpolished jade, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
It must be admitted that this kid named Tang San does have some insight, being able to see so many problems, which shows that he has made considerable achievements in the field of poison.
This kid is definitely a talent for using poisons. If given a few decades, he might actually surpass me.
Unfortunately, this kid is destined to be an enemy; otherwise, I would really like to befriend him and discuss the art of using poison with him.
As for the poisoning symptoms that Tang San mentioned, Dugu Bo didn't take them to heart at all.
The backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom was indeed his greatest pain, causing him unimaginable torment and suffering. However, all of this had long been completely resolved by the poison technique bestowed upon him by His Highness the Holy Son, so there was nothing to worry about.
Tang San was unaware of these things, nor did he know what Dugu Bo was thinking. Seeing Dugu Bo's strange expression but his silence, he continued:
"Senior, you may not be afraid of death, after all, you are already seventy or eighty years old. It is rare for a person to live to seventy, so it's about enough."
"It's just a pity about your beautiful granddaughter."
Tang San smiled slightly and said with certainty:
"I think you should know that your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is different from you. The poison she suffered from started in the womb, and the backlash from the poison will only be more rapid and the pain will be more intense than yours."
"Your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, probably won't be able to endure this long, nor will she have your perseverance to bear the increasing pain."
At this point, Tang San looked up at Dugu Bo and said in a tone that was two parts seductive, three parts sarcastic, and five parts provocative:
"Senior, you wouldn't want to see your granddaughter die so young from the backlash of the toxins, would you?"
Upon hearing Tang San mention his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with murderous intent, the chilling killing intent almost piercing through Tang San.
"So, you're saying all this just to threaten me with my granddaughter's safety?"
Staring at him with murderous intent, Tang San felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body chilled to the bone, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said:
"I wouldn't dare. I was just explaining the seriousness of the matter to my senior."
"If you agree to my conditions and spare everyone from Shrek Academy, I will immediately offer you the antidote. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but roll his eyelids:
"Kid, have you forgotten what I said? Your lives are in my hands, and you have no right to bargain with me."
"Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll just kill you all and then destroy the evidence."
After saying that, he raised his hand to sprinkle the green flames on Xiao Wu.
"Wait a moment."
Tang San broke out in a cold sweat, gritting his teeth in anger. He quickly spoke up to stop him, thinking, "Damn it, how can this old poisoner be so stubborn and unpredictable?"
"I will now pass on the method of detoxification to you, senior."
Dugu Bo gave him a cold glance:
"explain."
Tang San took a deep breath, moved his feet to block Dugu Bo's view of Xiao Wu, and then said:
"The antidote is actually very simple; all you need is a soul bone."
Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously asked in return:
"Soul bone?"
Tang San nodded and explained:
"Yes, all you need to do is prepare a soul bone, absorb it, and then use your soul power to force the poison in your body into the soul bone and store it. You can then release it when needed."
"In this way, the problem of poison backlash can be easily solved, and it will not only not harm oneself, but also completely preserve the poison in the body without affecting one's cultivation."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment. Why did these words sound so familiar?
Yes, that's what His Highness said back then.
Well, that's not right either. His Highness said that there should be at least one soul bone, the more the better. Moreover, the method of using soul bones to store toxins has its flaws. It can only temporarily solve the problem of toxin backlash, which is only a temporary solution.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's expression became subtle as he looked at Tang San:
"this one?"
Tang San glanced at Dugu Bo secretly and noticed that Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly looked a little strange. He assumed that Dugu Bo was shocked by the antidote method he had proposed, so he didn't take it to heart.
He knew, of course, that this method had a fatal flaw.
Storing excess Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom into the Soul Bone can only temporarily solve the problem; it cannot provide a permanent solution or completely eliminate the backlash from the venom.
After all, the storage space of the soul bone is limited, and it can only store a small amount of toxins. Once it is full and overflows, the toxins will still cause a backlash, and the backlash will be even more severe.
Soul bones are fused with a soul master's own bones. Once used to contain toxins, the toxins will be transmitted through the soul bone to the soul master's bones, then invade the bone marrow, and spread throughout the body.
Therefore, once the toxins backfire, it will be even more severe than before. At that time, even if a god descends to earth to save the patient, it will be too late, and death will be inevitable.
This method not only consumes a great deal of soul essence, but it is also more likely to take a person's life.
However, how could Tang San tell Dugu Bo about these fatal flaws? Dugu Bo already knew that anyone who dared to harm his Xiao Wu and teacher was courting death.
Tang San casually said:
"That's right, it's that simple."
"As long as you can find the soul bone and absorb it, then force your own toxins into it, both you and your granddaughter will be able to completely resolve the backlash from the toxins in your martial soul."
Dugu Bo tried to ask:
"So, does this method have any requirements regarding the location and age of the soul bone?"
Tang San's eyes flashed, he shook his head, and said confidently:
"There are no requirements for the location of the soul bone; any location will do. As for the age, of course, the higher the better."
The older the soul bone, the more expensive it is. Even a Title Douluo might not be able to afford it. "Just wait and see if I make you bleed," Tang San added in his mind.
Little did he know, Dugu Bo had already seen through his cunning tricks and knew that Tang San was talking nonsense.
This is going to harm yourself.
If it were before, without His Highness the Holy Son's guidance, he probably would have really fallen for Tang San's trick.
That bastard dared to dig a hole for himself and Yan Yan; he clearly doesn't want to live anymore.
