#163 - Break free from the shackles and hide in Yangquan

Dugu Bo suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I really don't know whether to praise you for being smart or stupid.

You finally managed to survive, yet you still try to provoke me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Quan Yi replied indifferently, "Everyone dies eventually.

For me, I'd rather die than be without freedom.

Moreover, if living is as painful as it is for you, I think it would be easier to die."

Quan Yi continued to provoke him.

However, despite Quan Yi's current fierce antics, seemingly unafraid, he was actually very flustered inside.

Because, during the time stop, Quan Yi clearly saw the number of spirit rings that lit up behind Dugu Bo.

Quan Yi had previously misjudged something.

He mistakenly thought that Dugu Bo was only a top-tier Spirit Douluo.

However, Dugu Bo was actually a Titled Douluo with nine spirit rings.

In other words, from the moment Quan Yi misjudged his opponent's strength, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

But this wasn't Quan Yi's fault either.

Dugu Bo had only broken through to become a Titled Douluo two or three years ago, and in addition, he had been busy suppressing the backlash of the poison during this time, so he hadn't appeared in the public eye.

Very few people knew the specific situation.

Although Quan Yi used Dugu Bo's concern for the herb garden, forcing him to be unable to use his Spirit Avatar and other large-scale attack spirit abilities,

he had schemed and exhausted his efforts to expand his own advantages and weaken Dugu Bo's power.

However, these methods were meaningless against a Titled Douluo with absolute strength.

While provoking him, Quan Yi cursed inwardly, "This old geezer is really bad.

He could have dodged my attack with the first blow, but he chose to endure it on purpose, making me lower my guard."

Now, the only choice left for him was to escape.

On the other side, Dugu Bo became silent.

He stopped questioning him.

Myriad thoughts raced through his mind.

At this moment, he recalled the figure of his son.

As the most noble Titled Douluo on the continent, his life was full of misfortune.

Losing his son in old age.

Personally experiencing the tragedy of an old man sending off a young man.

Dealing with poison all his life, and in his later years, he had to endure extreme pain every day due to the backlash of the poison, unable to live in peace.

His only concern now was his only remaining bloodline, his granddaughter.

His granddaughter's name was Dugu Yan, and her spirit was the Jade Phosphorous Snake.

She was three or four years older than Quan Yi and was a very talented poison control spirit master.

However, Dugu Yan not only inherited his cultivation talent but also the talent for poison.

Although she was currently weaker and had not accumulated much poison, it was foreseeable that Dugu Yan would likely suffer from the backlash of the poison in the future.

He had to solve the problem of the poison's backlash before that day came.

This was also why he cherished this herb garden so much.

Dugu Bo often felt the unfairness of heaven.

Whenever he thought of his granddaughter, he only felt powerless.

Hate, hate, hate.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and the blood-colored red light began to cover his green pupils.

"Finally, the Hell of Fury is finally taking effect."

Despite acting tough, Quan Yi had left a backup plan before the battle.

That was the Dragon Flame Behemoth's right arm bone spirit bone skill, Hell of Fury.

As early as forty minutes before the battle, when Dugu Bo was rolling on the ground,

Quan Yi secretly activated the Hell of Fury, taking advantage of the concealment of the environment.

The Hell of Fury was a special space with special fire elements.

Its effects were to weaken the enemy's attributes, increase Quan Yi's fire power by 50%, and cause the enemy to become angry, eventually leading the enemy into a state of rage and chaos.

Near the hot spring, compared to the impact of two extreme energies, the weakening effect of the Hell of Fury could be ignored.

However, the effect of causing the enemy to become angry would be strengthened.

The mental power of a Titled Douluo was more resistant to mental harassment than Quan Yi had expected.

However, fortunately, Quan Yi's provocation seemed to have played a certain role in promoting it.

The emotion of anger quickly invaded his mind at the moment when Dugu Bo's spirit wavered.

The eerie silence lasted for more than ten minutes.

Quan Yi silently observed Dugu Bo.

He found that Dugu Bo's pupils were about to be completely eroded by the red light.

The aura emanating from his body was becoming more and more chaotic and violent.

However, Dugu Bo was sitting blankly in place, immersed in his own world, as if he hadn't noticed the change.

This was a sign that the Hell of Fury was about to be completed.

The time had come.

Quan Yi began to concentrate all his spirit, paying attention to Dugu Bo and the spirit power cage that imprisoned him.

He waited quietly.

As long as Dugu Bo entered a state of rage, his spirit 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 spirit power fluctuated, condense all his spirit power, and break through from the weakest part 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.

The Hell of Fury 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 dam in his heart and poured into Dugu Bo's mind.

"Bang!"

The powerful spirit power fluctuations of the Titled Douluo directly shattered the ground, causing a powerful spirit power whirlwind.

The originally solid spirit 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 spirit power and constructed the elemental body into an extremely small black flame drill.

He drilled out from the weakest point caused by the ripples.

"Success."

The feeling of seeing the light of day again filled Quan Yi with joy.

But Quan Yi dared not stay for even a moment.

Because the cage behind him was being infused with more and stronger spirit power by Dugu Bo.

The violent spirit power fluctuations made Quan Yi feel terrified.

If Quan Yi had been a few seconds late, he would definitely have been crushed by the violent spirit power.

This was the consequence of angering a Titled Douluo.

Fortunately, Quan Yi took the opportunity to escape.

After escaping, Quan Yi immediately hid his body in the fire element.

Then, secretly and quickly, he bypassed Dugu Bo and came to the sky above the spring.

In the state of an elemental body, he plunged directly into the vermilion pool water.

Plunging into the scalding vermilion spring.

Quan Yi changed from an elemental body back to his main body.

The clothes covering his body were instantly burned to ashes by the scorching aura.

The naked Quan Yi only had the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest and the Blazing Sun Gauntlets on his hands intact.

With the fire immunity attribute, the temperature of the spring, comparable to lava, was no different from warm water to Quan Yi.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.

The scorching Yang Spring, filled with extremely strong fire elements, was a place that even a Titled Douluo could not stay for a long time.

This was also the way out that Quan Yi had left for himself.

While listening to the movements outside, Quan Yi swam towards the depths of the spring.

However, he didn't notice that the Blazing Sun Heart on his chest was emitting a faint glow.

The scorching aura in the Yang Spring was slowly融入 into the Blazing Sun Heart.
