Dugu Bo suppressed his anger, his voice low, "I really don't know whether to praise you for being smart or stupid.
You finally had a chance to live, yet you still try to provoke me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Quan Yi replied nonchalantly, "Everyone dies eventually. For me, give me liberty, or give me death.
Besides, if living means being as miserable as you, I'd rather die and be done with it."
Quan Yi continued to provoke him.
However, despite Quan Yi's seemingly fearless and energetic demeanor, he was actually very flustered inside.
During the time stop, Quan Yi clearly saw the number of Soul Rings that lit up behind Dugu Bo.
Quan Yi had misjudged one thing.
He mistakenly thought Dugu Bo was just a top-tier Soul Douluo.
But Dugu Bo was actually a Titled Douluo with nine Soul Rings.
That meant from the moment Quan Yi misjudged his opponent's strength, he had no chance of winning.
It wasn't entirely Quan Yi's fault. Dugu Bo had only broken through to Titled Douluo two or three years ago. Plus, he had been busy suppressing the backlash from the poison during this time and hadn't appeared in the public eye.
Very few people knew the specifics.
Although Quan Yi used Dugu Bo's concern for the herb garden to prevent him from using his Martial Soul True Form and other large-scale Soul Skills,
and tried every trick to maximize his advantages and weaken Dugu Bo's power,
these methods were meaningless against a Titled Douluo with absolute strength.
Quan Yi provoked him while cursing inwardly, "This old geezer is really cunning. He could have dodged my attack with his first move, but he chose to take it on purpose to lower my guard."
Now, his only option was to run.
Across from him, Dugu Bo fell silent.
He stopped questioning him.
His mind was filled with thoughts.
At that moment, he recalled the image of his son.
As the Titled Douluo with the most distinguished status on the continent, his life was full of misfortune.
He had lost his son in old age.
He had personally experienced the tragedy of an old man burying his child.
He had spent his life dealing with poison, and in his later years, he suffered extreme pain every day due to the poison's backlash, never finding peace.
His only concern now was the only bloodline he had left, his granddaughter.
His granddaughter's name was Dugu Yan, and her Martial Soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
She was three or four years older than Quan Yi and was a very talented poison control Soul Master.
However, Dugu Yan not only inherited his cultivation talent but also his talent for poison.
Although she was currently weaker and hadn't accumulated much poison, it was foreseeable that Dugu Yan would likely suffer from poison backlash in the future.
He had to solve the problem of poison backlash before that day came.
That was why he cherished this herb garden so much.
Dugu Bo often felt that the heavens were unfair.
Whenever he thought of his granddaughter, he felt only helplessness.
Hate, hate, hate.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and the scarlet red light began to cover his green pupils.
"Finally, the Fury of Hell is starting to take effect."
Saying it was a head-on confrontation, in reality, Quan Yi had left a backup plan before the battle.
That was the Dragon Flame Beast's Right Arm Bone Soul Bone Skill, Fury of Hell.
As early as forty minutes before the start of the battle, when Dugu Bo was rolling on the ground.
Quan Yi had taken advantage of the environment's concealment to quietly activate Fury of Hell.
Fury of Hell is a special space with special fire elements.
Its effect is to weaken the enemy's attributes, increase Quan Yi's flame power by fifty percent, and induce anger in the enemy, ultimately leading them into a state of rage and chaos.
Near the hot spring, compared to the impact of two extreme energies, the weakening effect of Fury of Hell was negligible.
However, the effect of inducing anger in the enemy would be enhanced.
The mental power of a Titled Douluo-level exceeded Quan Yi's expectations in resisting mental harassment.
However, fortunately, Quan Yi's provocation seemed to have played a certain role in promoting it.
The emotion of anger quickly invaded Dugu Bo's mind, taking advantage of the moment his spirit wavered.
Seeing Dugu Bo fall into silence, Quan Yi also stopped provoking him.
Continuing to provoke him would only arouse Dugu Bo's vigilance.
The eerie silence lasted for more than ten minutes.
Quan Yi silently observed Dugu Bo.
He discovered that Dugu Bo's pupils were about to be completely eroded by red light.
The aura emanating from his body was becoming increasingly chaotic and violent.
At this moment, Dugu Bo was sitting blankly in place, immersed in his own world, as if he hadn't noticed the changes.
This was a sign that Fury of Hell was about to be completed.
The time had come.
Quan Yi began to concentrate all his spirit, focusing on Dugu Bo and the Soul Power cage imprisoning him.
He waited quietly.
As long as Dugu Bo entered a state of rage, his Soul Power control would inevitably produce a momentary fluctuation.
And that would be Quan Yi's only chance to escape.
He had to keenly seize the moment when the Soul Power fluctuated, gather all his Soul Power, and break through from the weakest point of the cage.
Once he missed this opportunity, Quan Yi would have to face a Titled Douluo in a state of rage.
The consequences were unimaginable.
A double-edged sword.
Fury of Hell was such a dangerous and powerful skill.
In Dugu Bo's mind, hatred continued to rise.
Finally, this extreme emotion reached its peak.
Reason collapsed in an instant.
The surging river of anger destroyed the dikes in his heart, flooding into Dugu Bo's mind.
"Bang!"
The powerful Soul Power fluctuations of the Titled Douluo directly cracked the ground, causing a powerful Soul Power whirlwind.
The originally solid Soul Power cage produced violent ripples at this moment.
In an instant, Quan Yi withdrew his resisting power and shrunk and condensed the elemental body.
Taking advantage of Dugu Bo's confusion, he mobilized all his Soul Power to construct the elemental body into an extremely tiny black flame drill.
He drilled out from the weak point caused by the ripples.
"I succeeded."
It felt like seeing the light of day again, filling Quan Yi with joy.
But Quan Yi didn't dare to linger for even a moment.
Because Dugu Bo had infused even more, even stronger Soul Power into the cage behind him.
The violent fluctuations of Soul Power made Quan Yi's heart palpitate with fear.
If Quan Yi had been even a few seconds slower, he would definitely have been crushed by the rampaging Soul Power.
This was the consequence of angering a Titled Douluo.
Fortunately, Quan Yi had managed to escape.
Having escaped with his life, Quan Yi immediately hid his body within the fire element.
Then, stealthily and quickly, he bypassed Dugu Bo and arrived above the spring.
In his elemental form, he plunged directly into the vermilion pool water.
He dove into the scalding vermilion spring.
Quan Yi changed from his elemental form back to his original body.
The clothes covering his body were instantly incinerated by the Blazing Aura.
The naked Quan Yi only had the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest and the Blazing Sun Gauntlets on his hands remaining intact.
Possessing Fire Immunity, the spring water, with a temperature comparable to magma, was no different from warm water to Quan Yi.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
The Blazing Yang Spring, filled with extremely strong fire elements, was a place where even a Titled Douluo could not stay for long.
This was also the escape route Quan Yi had left for himself.
Quan Yi listened to the movements outside while swimming deeper into the spring.
However, he didn't notice that the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest was emitting a fluorescent glow.
The Blazing Aura within the Yang Spring was slowly merging into the Blazing Sun Heart.
