Chapter 36 The Wrath of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, the Boy Who Dared to Make a Deal with a Title Douluo
Outside Tiandou City, in the Sunset Forest.
Unlike the frozen expanse of the far north, or the primeval wilderness of the Starry Sky Forest, the Sunset Forest feels cold, damp, and brimming with deadly allure. The vegetation here is almost abnormally dense, and a faint, colorful miasma permeates the air year-round; the deeper one ventures, the stronger the suffocating sense of oppression becomes.
"Brother Feng, are we really going to get into this drug den?"
Ye Shaotian, carrying the Ice Rain Sword on his back, covered his nose with one hand and waved the other to shoo away the poisonous insects around him, muttering to himself, "I heard there's an old monster living in here, the kind who kills without blinking an eye. And the mosquitoes here are as big as fists, will I get pregnant if I get bitten? No, will I get poisoned?"
"Shut up, you chatterbox." Leng Qianqian moved away from him with disdain, her Shadow Claw occasionally flashing a black light as she cleaved an approaching venomous snake in two. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you into the swamp ahead to feed the crocodiles."
"Oh dear, Qianqian, you're not cute anymore..."
At the forefront of the group, Ye Feng held the Thousand Chance Umbrella (currently in rifle form), activated the thermal imaging scope, and vigilantly observed his surroundings.
"Everyone be careful." Ye Feng's voice traveled through his soul power to everyone's ears. "We have entered the outer core of Sunset Forest. According to intelligence, there is a natural poison array here, which was set up by the 'old monster' we are looking for."
Mingyue brought up the rear of the group, watching Ye Feng's back with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Ye Feng, are you sure the treasure land we're looking for is in the territory of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo? He's a titled Douluo who's unparalleled in 'poison' and has an unpredictable personality. Even the Pope has to give him some respect."
"Fortune favors the bold." Ye Feng turned around, a confident smile on his face.
"Moreover, I have a reason to meet him. Besides that prime location, I also need to find a real 'backer' for our team."
Just then, Bai Xiaochun, who had been silent and focused on sensing, suddenly stopped, and the jade-skinned white begonia in his hand trembled slightly.
"Captain... there's movement ahead," Bai Xiaochun said timidly. "There's a strong fluctuation of soul power, and... a very strong fishy smell. It seems like someone is fighting, and someone is injured, seriously injured."
"Oh?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "Fighting in this place? Besides us, there are actually people who dare to venture into the poison array?"
"Let's go take a look."
...
Sunset Forest, a clearing on the edge of the poison array.
"Sizzle sizzle—!"
The harsh sound of corrosion echoed through the forest.
A giant spider, entirely black with a hideous human face pattern on its back—the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider—was wielding its spear-like legs, frantically attacking a group of people cornered by it.
This group of people were wearing the uniforms of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, clearly belonging to that famous Royal Dou Battle Team.
But at this moment, they were in a very sorry state.
Captain Yu Tianheng (Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex) was covered in blood, his right arm hanging limply, clearly broken.
The defensive Shi brothers' tortoise shells were cracked. Ye Lingling (Nine Heart Begonia), the only healing soul master, was pale and exhausted of her soul power.
The one in the most danger was a green-haired girl who was being protected by everyone.
She had a stunning figure and alluring features, but her green eyes were now unfocused. She wasn't physically injured, but she was curled up on the ground in agony, clutching her throat and letting out a low growl like a wild beast. A strange, emerald-green poisonous gas was uncontrollably seeping from her body, even corroding the surrounding vegetation into black liquid.
"Yanzi! Hold on!" Yu Tianheng roared in despair, forcibly overdrawing his soul power to unleash Thunderous Fury in an attempt to force back the Human-Faced Demon Spider. "Damn it! Why did the poison have to backfire at this time?! Didn't Grandpa give me medicine?!"
Dugu Yan could no longer hear the sounds from the outside world.
The ancestral, hereditary poison, like a leech clinging to bone, erupted in full force under the influence of the human-faced spider's venom. His internal organs felt as if they were burning, and his blood seemed to have turned into a potent acid.
"Kill me... Tianheng... kill me now..." Dugu Yan groaned in pain, feeling herself turning into a poisonous person who only knew how to kill.
"Hiss—!" The human-faced spider seized the opportunity when everyone's defenses faltered, its eight legs suddenly springing up, bypassing Yu Tianheng's defenses, and rushing straight for the weakest, Dugu Yan! It wanted to devour this highly poisonous "delicious" creature!
"No!!!" Yu Tianheng's eyes were bloodshot, but he was too late to come back to help.
At this critical moment.
"Bang!"
A muffled gunshot rang out, followed by a flash of light, shooting out from the dense forest hundreds of meters away.
Thousand Chance Umbrella - Sniper Mode - Armor-Piercing Explosive Rounds!
The bullet, formed from highly compressed soul power, struck the human-faced spider's most vulnerable eyeball with unparalleled precision.
"Screech—!!!" The human-faced spider let out a shrill scream, its huge body tumbling to the side due to the enormous kinetic energy, green sap splashing everywhere.
"Who?!" The Royal Fighting Team members were filled with surprise and joy.
"The full-time team has arrived to save the day."
A calm yet confident voice rang out.
Several figures leaped out of the forest.
"Huyanli, charge in!" "Roar! Diamond Mammoth!" Huyanli, like a heavy tank, crashed directly into the human-faced demon spider that had just gotten up. "Shui Bing'er, control the field!" "Freeze!" Extreme ice instantly froze the demon spider's six legs. "Qianqian, Shaotian, cut the back row... oh no, cut the legs!"
The full-time team's coordination was seamless. In just one exchange, the millennium-old human-faced spider that had driven the Royal Fighting Team to despair was completely crushed.
Ye Feng, however, did not join the battle.
He put away the Thousand Chance Umbrella and instantly appeared beside Dugu Yan.
"You...who are you? Don't come near her! She's full of poison!" Yu Tianheng stood guard in front of Ye Feng warily. Although he was grateful for Ye Feng's help, Dugu Yan's current state was too dangerous; touching her would mean certain death.
"Get out of the way." Ye Feng uttered only two words, his tone carrying an undeniable authority. He directly reached out and pushed aside the weakened Yu Tianheng. That kind of power even made Yu Tianheng, a power-attack type, feel a chill.
Ye Feng crouched down, looking at the agonizingly contorted Dugu Yan. Her skin had turned a ghastly green, and her nails had swelled up; she was clearly on the verge of collapse.
"The backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom, coupled with the inducing effect of the external spider venom... tsk tsk, if it had been a minute later, even a Great Immortal would have been unable to save him."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Feng extended his long, slender, and fair right hand, which had not yet activated its soul bone, and placed it on Dugu Yan's brow.
"Are you crazy! That's the venom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King!" Ye Lingling exclaimed from the side.
However, the scene that was expected—Ye Feng being corroded into a skeleton—did not happen.
On the contrary, a faint white light appeared on Ye Feng's palm—that was the purifying power bestowed upon him by the Jade Skin White Begonia, combined with the resistance brought by his own Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear physique.
"Bai Xiaochun, keep purifying me!" "Yes!" Bai Xiaochun, who was in the distance, threw out beams of healing light.
Ye Feng pulled out a packet of silver needles from his pocket. "Bear with it." Swish, swish, swish! His movements were as fast as lightning. Eighteen silver needles were precisely inserted into Dugu Yan's major acupoints, sealing off the path of the poison to her heart.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng made a move that left everyone speechless. He used his Dark Gold Terror Claw to cut his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood with a pale golden sheen, and dripped it into Dugu Yan's mouth.
"Fighting poison with poison? No, it's exchanging blood for blood."
As that drop of blood entered her throat, Dugu Yan's body, which had been convulsing in pain, suddenly stiffened. A warm current exploded within her body; it was blood containing extreme vitality and powerful resistance, which miraculously suppressed the rampaging Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom.
"Uh..." Dugu Yan's long eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.
Visibility gradually improved.
What came into view was a face so handsome it was almost unfair, so close to my eyes. Those deep eyes were staring intently at me, as if I were looking at a precious work of art.
"Awake?" Ye Feng smiled slightly and reached out to wipe the black blood from the corner of her mouth. "Looks like you're pretty tough; even the King of Hell wouldn't dare take you."
Dugu Yan stared blankly at him.
From childhood to adulthood, because of her extraordinary poison skills, no one except her grandfather and Yu Tianheng dared to get so close to her. Yu Tianheng felt more awe and responsibility towards her, and had never experienced this kind of... gentle care before.
"Who...are you?" Dugu Yan's voice was hoarse, with a weak yet alluring quality.
"Ye Feng. The one who saved your life."
Just as this ambiguous atmosphere was beginning to rise, before Yu Tianheng could even recover from the crisis of being "cuckolded,"
Boom!!!
A terrifying, foul wind howled from the depths of the forest.
The surrounding trees withered instantly, and the ground turned into a black swamp. A green, poisonous fog surged in like a tsunami, blotting out the sun.
An aged yet murderous voice, like rolling thunder, exploded in everyone's ears:
"Which fool dares to lay a hand on my granddaughter?!"
"Grandpa!" Dugu Yan exclaimed.
A dark green figure appeared out of thin air. It was a thin old man with green hair and beard, and eyes as cold as a venomous snake. Beneath his feet, nine spirit rings slowly pulsed: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
Titled Douluo! Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!
The oppressive force emanating from the very soul instantly caused everyone present (except Mingyue) to feel their knees go weak, and even breathing became difficult. The human-faced demon spider, which had just been held down by Huyan Li and the others, was directly blasted to death by this oppressive force!
Dugu Bo immediately spotted Ye Feng, who was "frivolously" supporting Dugu Yan. He was especially struck by the fact that Ye Feng's hand was on Dugu Yan's shoulder.
"You bastard! Get your filthy hands off her!" Dugu Bo roared in fury. This granddaughter was his most precious possession; anyone who dared to touch her would have their entire family wiped out!
He raised his hand and waved it, sending a stream of emerald green poisonous energy straight towards Ye Feng's face. This was no ordinary attack; it was enough to instantly kill a Soul King!
"Oh no! Teacher!" Ye Feng's pupils contracted.
"Bright Moon Shines!" Bright Moon instantly appeared before Ye Feng, its six spirit rings gleaming brightly, and the Bright Moon Fan in its hand transformed into a massive light shield. "Boom!" The light shield shattered. Bright Moon groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of its mouth, and staggered back several steps.
The gap between a Soul Emperor and a Title Douluo is like a chasm!
"Huh? There's actually a Soul Emperor?" Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised, but then he sneered, "A mere Soul Emperor dares to block my path? Die!"
His killing intent was made up. The phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared behind Dugu Bo, clearly indicating that he was about to get serious.
The members of the Royal Fighting Team were terrified. Yu Tianheng wanted to speak, but the oppressive aura prevented him from opening his mouth.
At this critical moment of life and death.
Ye Feng pushed Mingyue aside and took a step forward alone, facing the terrifying pressure of the Title Douluo. His spine was straight, just like the Thousand Chance Umbrella in his hand, unyielding and unbreakable.
"You old poisoner, if you strike with that palm, your granddaughter will be beyond saving. And you, too, will suffer endless pain and be childless."
The voice wasn't loud, but every word was piercing.
"What did you say?!" Dugu Bo abruptly stopped, his venomous eyes fixed on Ye Feng. "Boy, are you threatening me?"
"This is not a threat, but a statement of facts." Ye Feng showed no fear in the face of the Title Douluo. He pointed to Dugu Yan, whom he was still holding in his arms (not completely letting go), and then to Dugu Bo.
"Whenever it's cloudy or rainy, you'll experience a tingling, itchy sensation in your ribs, which will gradually intensify. Around noon and midnight, you'll experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet, along with spasms throughout your body, causing excruciating pain. Am I right?"
The entire room fell silent. Dugu Bo's face, which had been filled with murderous intent, instantly froze, his eyes filled with incredulous shock.
These symptoms were his biggest secret; not even Dugu Yan knew about them, let alone himself! How could this kid know?
"Who...who are you?" Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.
"Who I am is not important." Ye Feng's lips curled into a mysterious smile. "What is important is that I can cure your granddaughter's poison, and I can also cure the poison in your body. Moreover, I can free you... from the torment of ten thousand insects gnawing at your heart."
"Grandpa...he saved me..." Dugu Yan finally caught her breath and weakly tugged at Dugu Bo's sleeve. "If it weren't for him, I would have..."
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter's face, which had regained some color, and then at Ye Feng's confident and composed gaze. The murderous intent in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by scrutiny and...greed.
That's the look in the eyes of a drowning person seeing a straw.
"Boy, you've got some nerve." Dugu Bo sneered. "If you dare to lie to me, I'll let you taste what it's like to be devoured by ten thousand snakes."
"What good would it do me to lie to you?" Ye Feng shrugged. "But I have a condition."
"You still dare to make demands?"
"Fair trade, no cheating the young or old." Ye Feng pointed to the depths of the poison array. "I need to stay in your herb garden for a while. Also, I want a few herbs from there."
"You want to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?" Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes. That was his forbidden area.
"What? You're reluctant?" Ye Feng provoked. "A few herbs for your two lives, grandfather and grandson. Surely Poison Douluo can't overlook this deal?"
Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into a strange laugh. "Hehehe, good! What an arrogant brat! I agree!"
"However, if you can't get the antidote, or if you die inside... then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Having said that, Dugu Bo waved his sleeve, and a surge of green soul power swept Ye Feng up. "Everyone else, wait outside! Kid, come with me!"
"Brother Feng!" "Ye Feng!" The members of the full-time team were shocked.
"Don't worry," Ye Feng's voice came from the air. "I'll be right back. Teacher Mingyue, keep an eye on everyone."
Watching Ye Feng being taken away by Dugu Bo and disappear into the depths of the poisonous fog, Dugu Yan clutched her chest, her gaze fixed in that direction with complex emotions. The warmth of that drop of blood seemed to still linger on her lips; the image of that young man was deeply etched into her heart.
"Ye Feng..."
Looking at his girlfriend's appearance, Yu Tianheng felt like he was being cuckolded, and his heart was filled with bitterness, as if he had swallowed a bitter herb.
Leng Qianqian and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, both seeing the sense of crisis in each other's eyes. "Another seductive slut!" Leng Qianqian gritted her teeth. "And she's using poison, this is a bit troublesome." Shui Bing'er frowned slightly.
...
Deep within the poisonous fog. When Ye Feng landed, the scene before him instantly changed.
The once gloomy forest has disappeared, replaced by a huge valley.
In the center of the valley, a strange spring is gushing forth.
On one side is a milky white, icy spring, radiating extreme cold; on the other side is a vermilion hot spring, radiating extreme heat. The two colors of water do not interfere with each other, remaining clearly distinct, forming a yin-yang symbol.
Around the spring, countless exotic flowers and herbs grow, emitting an intoxicating medicinal fragrance.
The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!
Ye Feng took a deep breath, and the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Soul Bone within his body trembled with excitement. "Finally... we've arrived."
"Boy, this is my villa." Dugu Bo stood aside with his hands behind his back. "Prove to me that you are qualified to make a deal with me."
Ye Feng ignored him and walked straight towards the two most conspicuous immortal herbs—one was an octagonal Xuanbing Grass, like white ice crystals, and the other was a fiery apricot, like a blazing red flame.
"Old Poisoner, watch closely. My body-refining methods are beyond the comprehension of you natives."
A hint of madness flashed in Ye Feng's eyes as he reached out and grabbed the two deadly immortal herbs!
