"Hehehe… if anyone's to blame, it's yourselves for not opening your eyes. Knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, yet you insist on going there. Since you insist on thinking this way, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Dugu Bo laughed strangely. His palms, entwined with verdant light, rose, and dozens of dark green venomous snakes condensed into shape. In less than a moment, the snakes had crawled onto everyone's bodies.
The Golden Iron Triangle's faces turned pale at the sight of Dugu Bo releasing the venomous snakes. The snakes didn't bite immediately but slithered toward their necks. Clearly, Dugu Bo truly intended to kill them—he was not joking!
In their current state, even a single bite from the snakes would be enough to send them to their deaths.
"Wait!"
Seeing the snakes crawling toward their necks, the Master struggled to suppress his fear, staring directly into Dugu Bo's eyes and pleading:"Dugu Bo, Tang San is my disciple. Whatever fault he has, as his teacher, I am willing to take responsibility. I beg you, spare my friends. I'll trade my life for theirs."
"Xiao Gang, what nonsense are you spouting? The Golden Iron Triangle is united—we die together!"
Hearing the Master, Liu Erlong's eyes reddened as he roared in response.
"Spare them? You useless wretch, by what right do you think your life is worth the three of theirs?"
Dugu Bo tilted his head to the sky, letting out a long howl. A cold and savage smile appeared on his face."Killing you useless wretch, I doubt anyone would avenge you. I have no other virtues, but I do have one principle: eliminate the root."
"Listen quietly to the lament of death. Rest assured, just one bite from my snakes, and in seconds, you will turn into a puddle of pus."
With that, Dugu Bo flicked his fingers slightly. The snakes on the four men's necks opened their blood-filled mouths, their cyan-green venomous fangs flashing with energy.
However, just as the venomous fangs were about to pierce the Golden Iron Triangle's necks, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly changed. In the next moment, a resounding dragon roar erupted from the depths of the Ice-Fire Two Extremes Eye.
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Dugu Bo felt his soul power surge wildly, growing chaotic. The venomous snakes he had summoned gradually dissipated into ghostly green light.
Before Dugu Bo could adjust his soul power, a massive shadow suddenly rose from the forest into the sky. Standing atop the massive figure was a dark silhouette.
"You old poisoner, Nash told me you captured a few soul masters sneaking into the Ice-Fire Two Extremes Eye for herbs. So, did you deal with them?"
As the massive figure descended, a calm and steady voice reverberated across the valley.
Hearing this, the Golden Iron Triangle's expressions changed slightly. When they saw the figure approaching gracefully, the Master's face revealed a hint of joy.
"It's Cheng Xiao, Xiao San, and Fland! We're saved!"
Seeing the newcomers, the Master became quite excited. However, Tang San's expression turned peculiar upon hearing Cheng Xiao's name.
"You know Cheng Xiao?"
Dugu Bo's expression also changed when he heard the Master shout Cheng Xiao's name. His gaze shifted from Cheng Xiao to the Master and the others, coldly asking.
"That's right! Dugu Bo Senior, you are unaware…"
The Master, gathering his composure, hurriedly said,"He and Tang San both studied at Noding Academy, and they got along very well. I was once their teacher. I hope you will spare us for the sake of our old classmate bond."
The Master wasn't foolish. Hearing Cheng Xiao call Dugu Bo "old poisoner," he quickly inferred that the two had a good relationship. To save his life, he immediately tied Cheng Xiao and the others to himself, hoping Dugu Bo would spare them.
Sure enough, upon hearing the Master's words, Dugu Bo's expression shifted slightly. But he did not immediately believe him, instead questioning:"You say you taught Cheng Xiao, were his teacher? Let me ask, what did you teach him?"
"With my strength, I couldn't teach him anything. You, a level 29 waste, what could you possibly teach?"
Dugu Bo clearly did not believe the Master, hence the question.
Hearing this, the Master panicked and quickly said:"Dugu Bo Senior, if you don't believe me, ask Cheng Xiao. When he acquired his first soul ring, I personally guided him. You could say I am the one who led him to enter the soul master path."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned, turning to look at Cheng Xiao, who was brushing off dust after landing. Dugu Bo twitched his lips and said:"Brat, hear that? This trash claims he was your teacher at the academy, your guide into soul mastery. See what you'll do."
"Haha, old poisoner, he indeed was my academy teacher, but I don't think he was a competent one."
Cheng Xiao walked beside Dugu Bo, looking at the Master hanging from the tree, naked, his pupils narrowing slightly as he muttered:"My word… he's still a eunuch?"
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo laughed loudly, patting Cheng Xiao on the shoulder and mocking:"Yes, I was surprised when I first saw him. But did this useless fellow really have the ability to guide you to acquire your first soul ring?"
"A level 29 Great Soul Master—did he really take you to hunt a ten-year soul ring?"
Dugu Bo's words deeply wounded the Master's already sensitive pride. As a theoretical Master, he longed to be a powerful Soul Master. Yet now, his power was weak, he was mocked, and, due to love, he had to give up the most important thing for a man. Who could understand his pain?
The Master wanted to refute, but the situation was too dangerous. Speaking up now would be courting death.
"Cheng Xiao, if you have the ability, fight me. This old man claims I stole his herbs. The Ice-Fire Two Extremes Eye belongs to the virtuous, yet Dugu Bo, obsessed with killing, does not deserve this treasure. Moreover, he slanders my teacher. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Do you forget who helped you acquire your first soul ring?"
Tang San gritted his teeth, defending his teacher and himself.
"Awesome!"
Hearing Tang San, Cheng Xiao could not think of words to describe him. He was stunned—not just Cheng Xiao, but even Dugu Bo.
It seemed inconceivable that someone could be so shameless. Dugu Bo thought his face was already thick, but Tang San seemed completely oblivious to the concept of shame.
