Chapter 25: A direct confrontation with Dugu Bo's palm strike! Perhaps I can undo the Azure Sca
Chapter 25: Facing Dugu Bo's palm strike head-on! Perhaps I can cure the Jade Scale Serpent's venom.
In the courtyard.
Li Zhexian took out a teacup.
"Should we just criticize directly, or go through the proper procedures?"
Dugu Yan frowned and said:
"Of course, we'll follow the procedures."
"You're not going to hit me..."
He only said half of what he was going to say.
Dugu Yan immediately changed her mind.
"You want my snake venom if you can't beat me?"
She looked at Li Zhexian with great displeasure.
Honestly, you want things without putting in any effort; you get all the good things.
"well……"
Li Zhexian shook his head and sighed.
"Then let's go."
Dugu Yan looked at Li Zhexian, who had empty hands and a nonchalant, lazy demeanor, and bared her venomous fangs from her red lips.
"Li Zhexian, straighten your attitude!"
"I want you to play seriously with me!"
That's all.
She swept towards Li Zhexian with a sweet, swift wind.
call--!
Dugu Yan rushed to Li Zhexian in the blink of an eye. She raised her leg, twisted her waist, and delivered a fierce whirlwind kick. Her loose casual pants stretched like steel, heading straight for Li Zhexian's face.
Li Zhexian raised his arms and crossed them to block.
Bang-!
A tremendous force struck.
Li Zhexian wiped the ground and retreated several meters, a sharp pain and numbness shooting through his arm.
A flash of anger crossed his handsome face.
"Dugu Yan, I really need to teach you a lesson!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Azure Lotus Sword appeared in his hand, its radiant cold light causing the courtyard temperature to plummet.
"Come, please heal me!"
Dugu Yan's trembling voice could not hide her excitement.
She stared at Li Zhexian, who held the Qingjian sword, licked her red lips with her tongue, and charged again.
sough--!
sough--!
In the courtyard, the swords gleamed, and poisonous gas filled the air.
A few minutes later.
Li Zhexian captured the wounded Dugu Yan.
"You lost, give me the snake venom."
Looking at the familiar teacup in front of her, Dugu Yan shook her head.
"I don't!"
"It was a promise. If I beat you, you'd give me snake venom."
"I don't!"
Dugu Yan turned her head and bared her teeth defiantly at Li Zhexian.
Even Li Zhexian was so angry he laughed.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Immediately, he grabbed Dugu Yan by the back of her neck and pressed her red lips against the rim of the teacup.
"Spray me with poison!"
Dugu Yan blushed and opened her mouth in preparation.
However, at that moment...
BOOM—!!
The courtyard gate suddenly burst open.
Startled, Li Zhexian and Dugu Yan quickly looked over.
An old man in a gray robe glared angrily, his long, dark green hair flying wildly in all directions.
"grandfather!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise.
"Dugu Bo?!"
Li Zhexian reacted extremely quickly, immediately releasing Dugu Yan and flying out of the courtyard.
"You brat, how dare you insult my granddaughter, Dugu Bo!"
A chilling green poisonous gas emanated from Dugu Bo's body, and a foul stench suddenly swept through the courtyard.
It's hateful that Dugu Bo's granddaughter was turned into this!
"Die!"
Dugu Bo was so fast that it was almost instantaneous.
In an instant, they arrived behind Li Zhexian.
He slammed his withered hand out, and the air exploded with an unbearable roar.
Hearing the howling wind behind him, Li Zhexian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he swallowed the wine he had been holding in his mouth.
call--!
A purple soul ring rose beneath his feet.
His soul power surged like boiling water.
Li Zhexian brandished his Azure Lotus Sword and turned to slash.
"Second Soul Skill - Three Swords of Splendor!"
"The first move of the Azure Lotus Sword Song—The Shaking Light Sword!"
It was clearly daytime.
But a wisp of starlight swayed down from the top of Li Zhexian's head and attached itself to the sword.
The sword, already at its sharpest point, emitted a dazzling and terrifying sword light, causing even Dugu Bo to narrow his emerald green eyes.
Sizzle—!
boom--!
A palm strike and a sword clashed violently.
Dugu Bo remained completely still.
Li Zhexian's cheeks flushed red, and he swallowed back the metallic taste rising in his throat.
He stormed out.
At this time.
A tall figure rushed up behind him.
The two of them landed on top of each other and slammed hard against the courtyard wall.
Li Zhexian was alright, as there was a soft cushion behind him to cushion his fall.
But Dugu Yan, rushing towards him, crashed into Li Zhexian with her weight.
He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Yan Yan!"
Dugu Bo's aged face changed color slightly.
"What are you doing?!"
Dugu Yan staggered to Li Zhexian's side, opened her arms, and shielded him.
"Grandpa, don't do it."
"Li Zhexian did not force me."
"It was I... who took the initiative to seek out Li Zhexian."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo narrowed his pale eyes, looking past Dugu Yan's obstruction at the white-robed youth who slowly stood up like a sword being drawn from its sheath.
"Li Zhexian..."
"So young, yet able to wield such a sharp sword."
"You must be the swordsman who got the gold badge in the Arena the fastest."
As they were talking.
His hands were tucked inside the wide sleeves of his robe.
A rather deep wound was visible on the palm of his hand.
Dugu Bo appeared indifferent.
But in reality, a storm was raging inside her.
He, a titled Douluo, was actually injured by a mere teenager.
Although he did not use any soul skills.
But that's just wishful thinking.
Li Zhexian bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Greetings, Senior Dugu Bo."
Dugu Bo nodded indifferently, glancing at his granddaughter who was still blocking Li Zhexian.
He waved his sleeve.
A medicine bottle flew towards Li Zhexian.
After Li Zhexian reached out and grabbed it, he looked at Dugu Bo with a puzzled expression.
"You're a strange kid."
"I don't know why you weren't poisoned by me."
"But I still suffered some internal injuries; this is medicine for healing them."
Li Zhexian smiled.
"Thank you, Senior Dugu."
to be frank.
He did not hold a grudge against Dugu Bo because of that palm strike.
Regardless of whether Dugu Yan acted on his own initiative, the fact remains that he forced the other man's granddaughter to vomit poison.
That kind of philosophy of life, which involves readily resorting to suicide, is not his style of conduct.
not to mention……
Li Zhexian glanced at the blood dripping from the sword blade.
He didn't suffer any loss; Dugu Bo was also injured.
"Good lad, interesting, interesting."
Dugu Boren is a seasoned and shrewd old man.
He could see the boy's open and honest heart at a glance.
Everyone says that Dugu Bo has an eccentric personality and is unpredictable, but no one can dislike a young man with a broad mind.
"Li Zhexian, I'm leaving."
At this moment, Dugu Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly whispered.
That's all.
Without waiting for Li Zhexian's response, and without even looking at Dugu Bo, she staggered out of the courtyard.
Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but in the end he could only shake his head bitterly.
Having witnessed what had just happened, he knew all too well that his granddaughter, tormented by snake venom, was already experiencing psychological problems.
"Azure Scale Snake Venom..."
"Is there truly no cure...?"
Dugu Bo turned and took a step.
His once slender and upright figure, like a javelin, was now slightly hunched.
"Ugh."
Li Zhexian sighed.
He now understood why Dugu Yan had sought him out time and time again.
So, he was psychologically twisted by the torment of snake venom.
Looking at Dugu Yan's desolate back, especially the large scratches on her fair arm from the way she had just shielded him, he was struck by her slender figure.
Li Zhexian suddenly spoke.
"Perhaps I can cure the venom of the Jade Scale Snake."
-
-
Dugu Yan stopped in her tracks.
call--!
A foul gust of wind suddenly blew in.
Dugu Bo appeared before Li Zhexian in an instant, his withered hand grabbing the boy's shoulder, his pale eyes glowing green, and he said urgently:
"Kid!"
"What did you just say?!"
"You can cure the venom of the Jade Scaled Snake?!"
If anyone else had said this, Dugu Bo would have scoffed.
But Li Zhexian was different!
From the very beginning, he discovered that the boy was immune to his poison!
perhaps……
Perhaps there really is a glimmer of hope!
