The two traveled for half a day, entering a city as night approached.
Bone Douluo certainly knew how to enjoy himself.
He directly found a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, where food and drinks were served by attendants.
Dugu Feng was quite pleased with this arrangement.
It happened to be a good opportunity for him to take care of some matters.
At night, Bone Douluo had the attendants prepare two adjacent bedrooms, one for each of them, then entered his room to rest without looking back.
He was quite responsible, placing Dugu Feng next to him so he could react quickly if anything happened.
After entering his room, Dugu Feng immediately opened the window.
Then he leisurely brewed himself a cup of tea.
He drank tea while admiring the stars in the night sky, remaining silent for half an hour before finally going to rest.
In reality, Dugu Feng only lay down for a short while before leaping out the window under the cover of the Sea God's Heart, flying toward Heaven Dou City.
Within the Sea God's Heart, a rainbow-colored light shone from between Dugu Feng's eyebrows, and the Overlord Venom also glowed, concealing his movements.
Dugu Feng was very confident in his stealth abilities.
Even Bibi Dong couldn't detect him, let alone Bone Douluo.
Traveling alone this time, Dugu Feng directly used his means of transportation - the Emerald Dragon Snake.
The speed of the Emerald Dragon Snake allowed him to cover the half-day journey he had taken with Bone Douluo in less than thirty minutes, returning to Heaven Dou City.
Upon reaching Heaven Dou City, Dugu Feng concealed his form and stealthily made his way toward the Li Clan mansion.
That's right, he was going to harvest from Tang San again.
During the day, he had learned from Bone Doulro that Tang San's External Soul Bone had already fused, and his Soul Power had reached the 64th level.
Bone Douluo's tone had contained both praise for Tang San and relief.
It seemed that once the External Soul Bone fused, there would be no more problems.
Dugu Feng believed that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were no longer as tense as they had been initially.
After all, in everyone's understanding, once an External Soul Bone fused, it could no longer be taken away.
But the problem was that Dugu Feng didn't intend to take away Tang San's External Soul Bone.
He planned to devour Tang San's External Soul Bone.
Their Eight Spider Lances shared the same origin.
Their energy was completely identical.
Dugu Feng intended to treat Tang San as a Man-faced Demon Spider and devour the essence of his External Soul Bone.
That should work!
He first released the Emerald Dragon Snakes.
Two Emerald Dragon Snakes infiltrated the mansion where the Clear Sky Sect was located from two different directions.
Through the two Core Pearls, Dugu Feng surveyed all the movements within the entire mansion in his mind.
Tang Xiao's location!
Tang Hao's location!
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's locations!
And Tai Long and Bai He were also residing around Tang San's room.
Dugu Feng observed all of this clearly.
He sneered inwardly - no matter how tight the protection was, what did it matter?
He was using the power of the Overlord Venom, the power of the Sea God's Heart - Tang San's fate was already sealed.
Dugu Feng waited calmly.
Until deep into the night, when the entire mansion had fallen completely silent.
Dugu Feng could sense that Soul Masters like Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Tang San were still cultivating.
It had to be said that they were cultivating very diligently for the sake of revenge.
But with Dugu Feng around, no matter how hard they tried, they could only end up with regret.
Hidden in the darkness, Dugu Feng quietly unleashed his unique technique.
A tunnel was dug from outside the residence, leading directly inside and stopping right beneath Tang San's room.
Since everyone knew this Evil Soul Master was earth-attributed and skilled in Earth Escape, Dugu Feng decided to push the Earth Escape Technique to its limits.
Under these circumstances, no one could possibly guess the true identity of the perpetrator.
On the surface, a colorless, odorless toxin drifted through the doors and windows of the room.
This was none other than the Dream Thousand Machine Poison that Dugu Feng had once used in Slaughter City.
Now, he had recreated it using the Overlord Venom.
As the strongest Mixed Poison, Overlord Venom could evolve into countless lethal toxins through the variations of its components.
With Dugu Feng's current mastery in the Domain of poison, executing this was as easy as breathing.
Before long, Tang San remained in cultivation inside the room, but upon closer inspection, his eyes had lost all focus, and he had completely lost consciousness.
The poisons of the Tang Sect were utterly useless against Dugu Feng's mental toxins.
It was finally time for Dugu Feng to strike.
He extended his right hand, and a corrosive poison spread upward, directly piercing through the distance from the underground passage to the surface.
Dugu Feng leaped out, arriving right in front of Tang San.
"Look at you, insisting on absorbing Man-Faced Demon Spider Spirit Rings. You've absorbed three already—the third, fourth, and sixth Spirit Rings are all from Man-Faced Demon Spiders.
You're not like Bibi Dong, who has a vendetta against spiders every day.
A commoner is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes them guilty. Today, I'll let you experience the malice of the Douluo Continent once more!"
Dugu Feng sneered coldly, and eight Spider Lances burst out from his back.
They stabbed fiercely into Tang San's back.
Tang San's waist and abdomen instantly straightened, his entire body tensed up, and he began to tremble.
Logically, such a commotion should have been noticeable.
But the moment Dugu Feng leaped into the room, he had already enveloped the entire space with the Sea God's Heart.
Not a single sound could escape.
The instant the Eight Spider Lances struck, Tang San fell into a coma.
He was trapped in a terrifying nightmare.
This was the third time he had experienced this nightmare.
Tang San was utterly terrified.
The familiar sensation made him realize what he was facing!
He's here!
He's here again!
He's come to devour my External Soul Bone again!
His teacher had said that once an External Soul Bone was fused, it could never be taken away. He had to hold on.
Tang San's mind trembled violently as he struggled to regain consciousness.
He frantically channeled his spiritual energy, trying to activate his Purple Demon Eyes, but no matter how much energy he expended, he couldn't open his eyes.
He could clearly sense that person standing behind him.
If only he could extend his spiritual senses, he could see his face.
But reality was cruel—no matter how hard he tried, Tang San couldn't break free from the toxin's suppression.
In this dazed state, Tang San vividly felt the energy from those eight ribs drifting away from him.
Who are you?
Why are you doing this to me?
Strangely, Tang San felt no anger—only sheer terror.
Before, when he was caught off guard and the other party stole his External Soul Bone, it was somewhat understandable.
But this time, the External Soul Bone had already fused, and he had the protection of his uncle and father nearby.
Yet the other party could still strike without a sound.
Such power filled Tang San with dread.
"Dad, Uncle, Granduncle, Teacher, come and see me! I'm being devoured by an Evil Soul Master!"
Tang San screamed inwardly.
But all that answered him was darkness.
In Tang San's perception, time felt incredibly long, but for Dugu Feng, the entire devouring process lasted only an instant.
His Eight Spider Lances had already reached a semi-divine level, far surpassing Tang San's Eight Spider Lances.
They could devour all energies of the same origin in a single moment.
Tang San had once again lost his External Soul Bone.
