"What's going on?!"
Dugu Bo's face was filled with shock. "You can ignore petrification too?!"
He still clearly remembered that the last time they fought, Zygarde had also been immune to many of his moves, making the battle extremely troublesome.
In response, Bai Mu merely smiled faintly and spoke through telepathy:
"Extreme Speed!"
Whoosh!
Zygarde, which had been standing on the mountain peak, erupted in an instant, transforming into a massive streak of white light as it charged forward.
A howling gale followed as the meteor-like impact surged forth!
"What?!"
Dugu Bo had barely reacted when Zygarde was already in front of him, its entire body slamming into him with overwhelming force.
Boom—!
Shockwaves rippled outward as Dugu Bo's aged body was sent flying uncontrollably.
He barely managed to stop after crashing violently into another mountain peak.
"Ah—! Die!"
From the rubble, Dugu Bo let out a furious roar.
The seventh spirit ring beneath his feet flared brightly.
"Seventh Spirit Ability—Jade Phosphor Serpent Avatar!"
A dense dark-green light shot into the sky, and a colossal Jade Phosphor Serpent dozens of meters long replaced Dugu Bo's body.
Terrifying pressure spread in all directions as a horrifying poisonous mist rolled outward, instantly turning the sky above the valley into a sea of green toxic fog.
Wherever the mist passed, vegetation withered and rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This move again!"
Bai Mu showed no panic at all. He simply snapped his fingers.
"Thousand Arrows Volley!"
In an instant, countless arrows of light rained down from all directions, bombarding the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Each arrow carried power capable of piercing mountains and shattering the earth!
The Jade Phosphor Serpent hissed, opening its mouth to spew out a monstrous poisonous wave that collided head-on with the incoming arrows.
Boom—!
The violent explosion churned the clouds, and acidic rain dripped down.
Thick green mist obscured everything.
But the next moment—
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Numerous arrows pierced straight through the poison mist, continuing to rain down on the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
"What is this?!"
The serpent's pupils shrank, filled with deep horror.
How could the power of this move have increased so drastically?!
Without hesitation, even denser poison mist surged from its body, and its massive form grew even more imposing, its overall strength rising yet again.
Poisonous light wrapped around its tail as it swept violently toward the arrows.
Like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, the remaining arrows shattered one after another and dissipated.
"Heh~"
Seeing this, Bai Mu wasn't surprised—he was delighted.
"Extreme Speed!"
Bang!
The air exploded with a terrifying sonic boom.
Zygarde seized the opening and smashed headfirst into the Jade Phosphor Serpent's body.
Bang!
"Hiss—!"
The massive serpent was carried along and slammed hard into the mountain wall.
Boom—!
Rocks collapsed, and the ground trembled.
"Die!"
Madness flashed in the serpent's eyes as it twisted its body, trying to coil around Zygarde.
Dugu Bo remembered clearly—this white snake's greatest weakness was its low defense.
As long as he could bind it and attack relentlessly, even trading heavy damage, he could kill it faster!
"Protect!"
Just as it was about to be coiled, a protective barrier flared around Zygarde, blocking the Jade Phosphor Serpent outside.
"Let's see how long you can hold out!"
The serpent didn't care at all and coiled its entire body around the shield, waiting for the moment it vanished.
But what it didn't know was that this was all part of Bai Mu's plan.
Z2 might be restrained—but what did that have to do with Little Soft, the black Dragon Hound?
The corners of Bai Mu's mouth lifted as he gave a sudden command:
"Evil Poison Chain—Toxic!"
Not far away, the black Dragon Hound appeared, wicked purple light gleaming in its eyes.
Whoosh—
A pool of poisonous miasma glowing with purple light spread beneath the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
Evil Poison Chains—interwoven with red, blue, and purple hues—burst forth, instantly binding and tightening around the serpent that was constricting the Protect barrier!
These chains carried not only the original evil poison, but also perfectly fused ice-and-fire toxins.
With several completely different poisons combined, the power of the Evil Poison Chain rose dramatically.
More importantly, this was no ordinary chain—it was a fusion chain infused with Toxic.
The moment it made contact, a terrifying poison began invading the Jade Phosphor Serpent's body.
"What?!"
Dugu Bo was utterly shocked.
As the Poison Douluo, his perception of toxins far surpassed ordinary people. He could clearly sense how complex these poisons were—and that each one was no weaker than his own Jade Phosphor Serpent poison.
Worse still, his own poison resistance couldn't suppress it at all.
That strange Toxic was spreading wildly inside his body!
"This is a dimensional strike,"
Bai Mu said leisurely, watching the struggle.
In the Pokémon world, Poison-type Pokémon were naturally immune to poison unless faced with special abilities.
But in the Douluo world, there was no such rule.
The strongest poison master was also the one most deeply poisoned. If not for the inner alchemy bead Dugu Bo obtained upon becoming a Titled Douluo, he would have died from poison long ago.
"What kind of poison is this?!"
Pain flashed in the eyes of the Jade Phosphor Serpent.
This external Toxic disrupted the balance within his body, causing his own poison to turn against him.
Where did this dog come from?!
Its poison was actually even more overbearing than his Jade Phosphor Serpent poison?!
"Hiss—!"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Avatar cried out in pain, its constricting force pausing for an instant.
"Extreme Speed!"
Seizing that brief opening, Z2 erupted with terrifying power and smashed straight into the serpent's head.
Boom—!
Caught off guard and bound by the chains, the Jade Phosphor Serpent spat blood and was sent flying backward once more.
"Grandpa… Grandpa…"
Dugu Yan's eyes were red as tears streamed down her face.
"Good girl~ don't be afraid~"
A gentle voice sounded beside her.
Her body trembled as she looked up at Bai Mu. Through the mask, she leaned toward him and pleaded softly:
"Please… let my grandpa go… no matter what… I'm willing to do anything!"
"Look at you,"
Bai Mu said lightly, stroking her head.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you were this obedient earlier? Why make me go through all this trouble?"
"I beg you… I can give you everything… please spare my grandpa…"
Hope flickered in her eyes.
Then Bai Mu sighed.
"What a pity. It's too late. Why couldn't you have been more proactive? If you had just served me well, wouldn't everything have been fine? Did I really need to spell it out?"
Dugu Yan's heart froze, her face turning deathly pale.
Bai Mu pinched her chin and leaned closer, his grin widening.
"Now he knows too much. Tell me—how should I let him go?"
"I beg you… beg… beg…"
She murmured weakly.
"Don't worry,"
Bai Mu said gently, smoothing her short hair.
"At worst, I'll just let him die once. It won't be very pleasant."
"Don't worry, he might not even die. Didn't I already say it?"
"If he obediently behaves like a dog, I might let him live a little longer."
"Ugh… wuwu…"
Dugu Yan finally broke down, sobbing loudly.
Just like Meng Yiran, she too had become someone whose light had been borrowed by Tiga—and never returned.
