Chapter 119: Competition Between Poison Masters

"Not interested."

Hearing Sun Zhongjing's desire to learn from him about the use of poison, Dugu Bo, who thought that Sun Zhongjing could not solve his poisoning problem, was obviously uninterested and turned around to leave. He was not even in the mood to care about his previous verbal offense.

"You're in such a hurry to leave. Don't you want to detoxify yourself?"

The words coming from behind made Dugu Bo stop in his tracks. He turned around instantly, staring at Sun Zhongjing, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you cure it?"

"…"

But Sun Zhongjing just stroked his long beard, looked at him with a smile, and said nothing.

"Okay, I'll spar with you!"

Dugu Bo looked at him deeply and nodded in agreement.

"We can't do anything here, let's go somewhere else!" Dugu Bo said, moving his feet and turning into a green afterimage and flying out.

When fighting, especially when a spirit master uses poison, the impact on the surrounding environment and the coverage area are very large. Therefore, even Dugu Bo knows that he cannot spar in Tiandou City, otherwise it is easy to make enemies with the royal family. After all, fighting near where people live, poisoning, destroying buildings, and killing a lot of people are not to mention. It is very troublesome to clean up the residual toxins. If the toxin spreads and hurts someone, it will be over.

Although Dugu Bo was not afraid of the royal family, he could not go against the entire empire for no reason. No one would do such a thankless task.

Speeding all the way.

Dugu Bo took the time to look back, but was almost startled. He saw the old man with white hair and beard, following him leisurely. He didn't look tired at all.

This made him realize that Sun Zhongjing's strength might be stronger than he thought. He was definitely not just a Soul Emperor or Soul Sage. He might be a Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo.

However, the stronger Sun Zhongjing's ability became, the more Dugu Bo believed in his words that he could cure his illness. After all, this represented a higher degree of credibility.

The two of them walked one after the other and soon arrived at the outskirts of Tiandou City.

This is a remote place, so there are few people here.

"Tell me, how do you want to compete?"

Dugu Bo stopped, turned around and looked at him.

"Since we are competing in the use of poison, then naturally we will poison each other. Whoever is poisoned first or cannot detoxify will lose." Sun Zhongjing said with a smile.

"Okay, this is indeed the easiest way."

Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.

So, the competition began!

Sun Zhongjing found a large bluestone to sit on, and then took out a musical instrument from the storage soul guide.

It was an ancient erhu.

One can tell that this instrument is quite old.

Dugu Bo was stunned.

Didn't you say we were going to learn how to use poison? What do you mean by bringing out the erhu?

"Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want."

Sun Zhongjing gently tuned the erhu in his hand and said calmly: "Let me see what tricks the world-famous Poison Douluo has."

"Okay! Then take it!"

Dugu Bo was obviously annoyed by his nonchalant attitude. He had been in the spirit master world for many years, making countless spirit masters tremble in fear. When had he ever been looked down upon like this?

With a cold snort, he lightly flicked the middle finger of his right hand towards Sun Zhongjing who was tuning the instrument, and a light green smoke spurted out.

Dugu Bo is indeed a titled Douluo among poison soul masters. Although he was poisoned by his own poison, he is still quite skilled. The seemingly simple poisoning, the green mist that was ejected dispersed in an instant, just covering Sun Zhongjing's body.

Although surrounded by the poisonous fog, Sun Zhongjing seemed to be unaffected and continued to adjust the strings of the erhu in his hand.

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment. The scene in front of him was obviously inconsistent with his research on poisons. Sun Zhongjing had clearly inhaled the poisonous mist and should have been poisoned. But it seemed that he had no effect at all.

Soon, as the green mist dissipated, there was no change in Sun Zhongjing's body, and he did not look poisoned at all.

Although the green mist released by Dugu Bo was just a tentative attack and could be easily dispelled, he did not expect it to be so easily dispelled by Sun Zhongjing. He could not help but be aroused by a bit of competitive spirit.

"Very good. I admit that I underestimated you."

Dugu Bo flipped his palm, and a small green snake appeared in his palm. The snake's body was almost transparent, about five inches long, with a green light flowing inside, and a pair of small red eyes, which looked extremely cute.

There are nine bamboo-like horizontal stripes on the green body. This snake is the best of the bamboo leaf green snakes, the nine-segment jadeite! It is extremely poisonous. Anyone who is poisoned by it will turn into pus and die in a moment. Although it looks small, it is one of the most poisonous snakes. It is also harder than steel and difficult to be hurt by a sharp knife.

"go!"

Dugu Bo held the small nine-section jade in his hand and shouted. Suddenly, the little snake turned into a green shadow, shot out like lightning, quickly landed on Sun Zhongjing, and then bit down on his wrist!

The sharp fangs easily pierced the skin, leaving two small blood holes on his wrist, with bright red blood seeping out.

After hitting the target, the nine-section emerald bird bounced again without any hesitation and turned into a green shadow and flew back to its owner's hand.

After Dugu Bo took back the Nine-Section Jade, he stared at Sun Zhongjing intently, wanting to see how he could cure the poison of the Nine-Section Jade. But he soon discovered that Sun Zhongjing, who should have been poisoned by the Nine-Section Jade, looked like nothing had happened. If there were not two bloody holes on his arm, he would have suspected that the Nine-Section Jade had not injected the snake venom into his body.

"How… are you okay?" He couldn't help but ask, "Are you not poisoned?"

"This little bit of poison can't hurt me."

Sun Zhongjing, who was concentrating on tuning the strings of his zither, said without even raising his head when he heard this.

Dugu Bo's face twitched, and then the light of the soul ring rose from his feet. Nine soul rings floated up and down around his body. The shadow of a green snake appeared behind him, eerie and vicious!

"I admit that you are really good at detoxification. The previous ones are just appetizers. The poison I will use next is something I can't even control. If you still despise it, don't blame me if you die!" Dugu Bo was about to use his own poison, the poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. With his cultivation, the fierceness of this poison was foreseeable.

"Please."

Sun Zhongjing finally tuned the strings of the zither. He slowly raised his head and spoke calmly.

Seeing that he didn't take his kind warning seriously, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed coldly, thinking that if a tiger doesn't show its power, you really think I'm a sick cat. Could it be that the poison I have practiced for so many years can really be easily neutralized by you?
