Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 69: Poison Douluo’s Revenge

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

As the second most powerful Sect among the Seven Great Sects on the Douluo Continent, the Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had always been high-spirited and full of confidence.

But now, those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples were all looking uneasy, jittery at the slightest sound.

The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School appeared panic-stricken, as if shrouded by a massive dark cloud.

It was no wonder they were so terrified; over the last ten days, terrifying things had occurred within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Some Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples had been bitten by unknown venomous snakes while sleeping and died in their dreams, only to be discovered the next day.

The corpses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples poisoned by the snakes had turned blue and purple, their bodies stiffened, and their state of death was extremely gruesome and terrifying.

Other Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples, while eating, would suddenly clutch their throats, foam at the mouth, and collapse to the ground, their bodies arching like shrimp, trembling incessantly until they died right before everyone’s eyes.

Such public executions struck at the deepest fears in everyone’s hearts, completely shattering their psychological defenses, as no one knew if they would be the next victim of the poison.

There were even Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples who, while on patrol or standing guard, were suddenly enveloped by a green mist. Even holding their breath was useless; the virulent poison within the green mist could corrode their skin, making them feel an intense pain and itch all over their bodies.

It felt as if countless tiny insects were crawling beneath their skin, causing them to uncontrollably scratch and claw at themselves, scratching and clawing until they became bloodied figures, eventually tearing apart their own muscles and bones, or even gouging out their own internal organs.

...

Events like these had occurred countless times over the past ten days, plunging the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples into a state of perpetual panic.

Death is indeed terrifying!

But the process of waiting for death increases that fear a hundredfold!

Especially when they knew they would not die easily, but rather suffer incomparably painful deaths, leaving behind gruesome and terrifying corpses—this was a lethal blow capable of breaking anyone’s psychological defenses.

On the Douluo Continent, there was only one Great Grandmaster of the Poison Dao who could wield poison with such supernatural skill.

Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!

Using such methods against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples was a provocation, a naked slap to the Face.

In the past, Ning Fengzhi would certainly have taken Chen Xin and Gu Rong to hunt Dugu Bo across the continent; nothing less than killing Dugu Bo would have been enough to vent the hatred in his heart.

But now, Chen Xin had been defeated head-on by Dugu Bo and was still in a state of severe injury, unable to engage in combat for the time being.

As for Gu Rong, who remained, he had to protect Ning Fengzhi while also being responsible for the Sect’s defense; facing Dugu Bo’s elusive methods, he, too, was unable to split himself to attend to everything.

Inside the main hall on the main peak!

Ning Fengzhi sat on the main seat, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, his complexion livid, his eyes flashing with a predatory light. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word:

"Ten days, a mere ten days, and over 300 Spirit Masters in my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have been poisoned to death, while over 500 more are currently being tortured by the virulent poison, looking neither human nor ghost!"

"Although we, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, claim to have 5,000 Spirit Masters, just ten days have passed, and nearly one-fifth of them have lost their combat capability!"

"Poison Douluo, what a fine method. I underestimated him. If he continues to torment us like this, I fear our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be completely annihilated!"

Ning Fengzhi felt his heart twitching in spasms; the death of 300 Spirit Masters and the poisoning of 500 others had already severely damaged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s foundations.

Ning Fengzhi now looked as if he had aged ten years, the exhaustion between his brows impossible to hide.

He was conflicted in his heart; Dugu Bo had already caused massive losses to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If he were to admit defeat now and apologize to Dugu Bo, then those who died in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have died in vain.

If he did not admit defeat and fought Dugu Bo to the end, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would likely be erased from the Spirit Master’s world.

This was the problem Ning Fengzhi was currently facing. Although he knew that continuing to hesitate would bring even greater losses to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he remained unable to make a firm decision.

While Ning Fengzhi was still hesitating, Gu Rong could no longer hold back.

Gu Rong came to Ning Fengzhi’s side, his sunken eyes flashing with a violent and bloodthirsty light.

He was never a man with a good temper, and now that Dugu Bo was provoking them so unscrupulously, it had long since reached a point that Gu Rong could not tolerate.

Gu Rong spoke in a grim tone:

"Fengzhi, do not hesitate any longer. Let us try one more time; I will risk my old life to deal with Dugu Bo."

"Ten days, nearly 1,000 Spirit Masters lost. Everyone outside is watching us like a joke; a dignified Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, bullied by Dugu Bo to the point of having no power to fight back."

"If we do not make a strong response, setting aside the Clear Sky Sect which has gone into seclusion, both the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and those forces of the Lower Four Sects will be eyeing our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School like tigers."

Gu Rong’s words made sense. This time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had lost both Face and substance; it was only natural that others would be targeting them.

However, Gu Rong was merely a high-level fighter; he was responsible for fighting, and only needed to consider risking his life.

As the true master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi had much more to consider.

For Ning Fengzhi, preserving the Legacy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was more important than anything else.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, let out a bitter smile, and said:

"Uncle Gu, even Uncle Jian was defeated at Dugu Bo’s hands; how could you possibly kill him?"

"We have already formed a feud with Dugu Bo. If we attempt to ambush him again, his next retaliation will surely be even more ferocious."

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has only suffered damage to its foundations; it has not yet reached the point of annihilation. If Dugu Bo were to recklessly unleash his virulent poison, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would truly be erased."

Speaking to this point, Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath. He finally made up his mind, saying with great helplessness yet resolute determination:

"I have decided: since we cannot kill Dugu Bo now, we have no choice but to bow our heads to him. The 300 Spirit Masters who died cannot be saved, but there are still 500 poisoned Spirit Masters, and there is a chance to save them."

"We will bring a heavy gift, a gift that Dugu Bo cannot refuse, to apologize to Dugu Bo and simultaneously request the antidote to save those 500 poisoned Spirit Masters."

"Only in this way can we minimize our losses. Regarding the catastrophe the Sect has suffered this time, all the faults and mistakes lie with me, the Sect Master, for making the wrong decision."

"Even if I have to sacrifice this old Face of mine, I must save those Spirit Masters who have been poisoned and tortured to the brink of death."

"Hmm... Dugu Bo may not necessarily be willing to see us right now. We still need to find an intermediary. Dugu Bo is a Guest Elder of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family; as long as someone from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family comes forward, Dugu Bo will have to give some Face."

"It seems that in the end, I still have to ask my Disciple. Heh, the tables have truly turned. To think that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would actually have a day where we have to bow our heads to Dugu Bo."

Lan Chen!

Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth in hatred, yet he was helpless.

A single Lan Chen, they could deal with.

A single Dugu Bo, they could also deal with.

But if these two were to join forces, one providing support and the other fighting, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really had no way to deal with them.

Now, Ning Fengzhi only hoped that everything would go smoothly; these days of living in fear really could not continue any longer.
