Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Yu Yuanzhen's Grief and Resentment

Even now, Yu Yuanzhen still refused to believe these poisons could truly kill him.

He remained vigilant against the possible appearance of either Dugu Shuo or Dugu Bo.

Little did he know that the Overlord Venom and two Emerald Dragon Snakes were already Dugu Feng's ultimate weapons.

Seizing the opportunity, the two Emerald Dragon Snakes swooped down again.

Like two sharp swords, they disregarded the lightning surrounding Yu Yuanzhen and launched their attack.

"Screech!"

The Emerald Dragon Snakes let out piercing shrieks as they struck Yu Yuanzhen's body with extreme speed.

The two snakes bared their sharp fangs, accurately biting into his blood vessels.

Upon biting Yu Yuanzhen, the first sensation was undoubtedly the fury of lightning.

The two Emerald Dragon Snakes were no exception.

However, the physical resilience of Emerald Dragon Snakes far surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Beasts.

Even as Nine-Section Jadeites, they were renowned for snake bodies tough as steel, impervious to blades.

Now evolved into Emerald Dragon Snakes, their physical strength and resistance to abnormal conditions had become truly terrifying.

The Emerald Dragon Snakes made contact and immediately withdrew, having injected their venom in that instant.

They swiftly retreated from Yu Yuanzhen's body.

After circling twice in the sky and gathering momentum, they dove down once more.

The sheer force of the violent impact alone made Yu Yuanzhen unsteady on his feet.

His internal Soul Power was fully occupied resisting the Overlord Venom.

Once the Overlord Venom took effect, even a Titled Douluo couldn't eliminate it, only resist it with Soul Power.

That a Titled Douluo couldn't eliminate it didn't mean it could instantly poison a Titled Douluo to death.

After all, the venom's toxicity was one aspect, while the quantity was another.

Just like poison of the same toxicity might kill a leopard but not necessarily an elephant.

Yet once the venom entered the elephant's body, the elephant couldn't expel it either, only endure it through sheer vitality.

This was precisely the current situation.

Dugu Feng hadn't been a Soul King for long, and his Overlord Venom was only the size of a pigeon egg.

Whereas Yu Yuanzhen, as a level ninety-five Titled Douluo, possessed overwhelmingly vast Soul Power.

The disparity between them was far too great.

At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen was using his Soul Power to encircle and intercept the Overlord Venom.

The Overlord Venom's strength lay in its constant evolution and mutation, even absorbing Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power to generate new toxins.

This realization horrified Yu Yuanzhen.

He had never encountered such a venom before.

"It seems I can't eliminate it in a short time. Then I'll kill the one who cast it!"

Taking advantage of his still abundant internal Soul Power,

Yu Yuanzhen stomped his feet and rapidly pursued Dugu Feng's direction.

As for the Emerald Dragon Snakes continuously inflicting wounds and injecting venom into him,

Yu Yuanzhen could only temporarily ignore them.

If the Overlord Venom persisted, it would trigger his original injuries. Once the Overlord Venom gained the upper hand, his life would be in danger.

Urgently, Yu Yuanzhen used his Lightning Power to illuminate the sky, searching for Dugu Feng's traces.

But the next moment left him dumbfounded.

Dugu Feng was actually flying in the sky.

"A flight Soul Bone?" Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened.

For Dugu Feng at Soul King level to fly in the sky, aside from a Spirit Bone Ability, he couldn't think of any other reason.

As a Titled Douluo, he could naturally fly too.

But currently unable to manifest his Martial Soul Avatar, with his internal Soul Power being heavily depleted, flying would consume even more Soul Power.

He instantly saw through Dugu Feng's intention.

That was to exhaust him.

"Seeking death indeed! Do you truly believe I have no means left?"

Yu Yuanzhen's chest and abdomen suddenly swelled as an explosive surge of Soul Power burst from his mouth.

A vast dragon roar abruptly erupted.

The surrounding air rippled with visible waves.

The piercing sonic attack shot toward Dugu Feng.

This was his sixth Soul Skill - Sky-Breaking Dragon Roar.

An indiscriminate large-scale offensive Soul Skill.

Dugu Feng was merely a Soul King.

With the power of this Soul Skill's attack, he could instantly shatter Dugu Feng to death.

Yet reality showed Dugu Feng with eight spider legs emerging from his back, his upper body covered in ruby-like armor.

His entire body continuously retreated under the sonic assault.

He was rapidly distancing himself from Yu Yuanzhen.

How powerful would a Titled Douluo's final struggle be? In any case, Dugu Feng had no desire to face it.

Yu Yuanzhen attacking him was exactly what he wanted to see.

The more Soul Power was used, the more easily the Overlord Venom would penetrate his body.

Plus two Emerald Dragon Snakes constantly harassing him.

Now it was Dugu Feng's turn to engage him in a war of attrition.

Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted slightly. "External Soul Bone! So it really is you!"

Now he finally confirmed that the one who had taken Tang San's External Soul Bone was Dugu Feng.

How Yu Yuanzhen hated this!

He and Tang Hao had fought desperately, only for Dugu Feng to reap the benefits.

Not only did he take advantage, but now he even wanted to kill him.

Truly evil!

The Dugu Family was nothing but a cancer upon the continent!

"Hmph!"

Yu Yuanzhen grunted heavily as the toxins within his body intensified.

He could feel the aura of death.

Thunder power gathered once more, transforming Yu Yuanzhen into a being of lightning.

The destructive power of the thunder caused the Overlord Venom to suddenly contract into a cluster.

Yu Yuanzhen felt a surge of joy.

But then he froze.

As the peak of the attack passed, the Overlord Venom once again eroded toward his internal organs and throughout his limbs.

And this time it moved even faster.

Following this, a purple mist dispersed, causing Yu Yuanzhen's spirit to momentarily waver.

The Emerald Dragon Snakes had unleashed their innate skill - Bewilderment.

A mental-type skill that could also be considered a mental toxin.

It shared similarities with Dugu Feng's Azure Phosphorus Scarlet Venom.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Yuanzhen with his level 95 strength would never be affected.

But now was different.

With internal toxins and external attacks.

Coupled with his already serious injuries, he suddenly found himself disoriented.

This was a critical moment in the battle.

While his spirit wavered, the Overlord Venom seized the opportunity to invade his Sea of Spirit.

Launching dual attacks against both Yu Yuanzhen's body and spirit.

By this point, Dugu Feng felt completely assured.

Yu Yuanzhen's death was merely a matter of time.

He continued moving away from the center of the battlefield.

With the help of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, he continuously ascended higher.

Now he just needed to wait for Yu Yuanzhen to die.

Little Snake's dream was to assassinate a Titled Douluo.

He, Dugu Feng, would accomplish it first.

Though this Titled Douluo was an injured one.

He was still one of the continent's limited number of powerful experts.

Dugu Feng felt the continuous thunder explosions behind him, more shocking than summer lightning and thunder.

He sneered coldly: "Struggle! This is your final struggle!"

"Was it you who killed Tian Xin and Tian Heng?"

A furious roar came through.

Yu Yuanzhen's voice was filled with grief, indignation, and unwillingness.

Now the mastermind behind everything had finally surfaced.

With such domineering poison at his disposal.

Yu Yuanzhen gained new understanding of past events, along with new suspicions.

Ever since Tang San killed Yu Tianheng, the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had plummeted.

It culminated in a great battle with Tang Hao, leaving both sides severely wounded.

The beneficiary of it all was the Dugu Family.

This made Yu Yuanzhen realize that those two Soul Duels were absolutely suspicious.

And coincidentally, the Dugu Family had been present at both of those Soul Duels.
