Through the poisonous mist formed by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison permeating the air.
Tang San and the others could faintly make out the outline and figure of the woman. An exquisite snake-patterned mask covered her face, and her clear yet ice-cold eyes gleamed like幽光 from the depths of a cold pool.
"Who are you?" Tang San was extremely confident in his own poison. With the poisonous miasma formed, even a Limit Douluo wouldn't dare to step in casually.
The woman did not answer Tang San. Her light-colored long skirt swayed slightly with the breeze.
One soul ring after another rose from beneath her feet.
First, four purple soul rings rose in succession, causing the pupils of Tang San and the others to contract slightly.
Then the fifth soul ring made their furrowed brows suddenly relax, and their pupils dilate.
"Ten... ten-thousand-year soul ring!"
What kind of configuration was this, to actually have a ten-thousand-year soul ring as the fifth one?
Tang Chen and Bo Saixi both sucked in a breath of cold air.
Next came the sixth and seventh soul rings, standard black soul rings.
Then, the clothes and body that had been tinged with a hint of red from the fifth soul ring turned as if dyed in blood.
Two red soul rings suddenly rose.
"Another two ten-thousand-year soul rings!" Tang San couldn't help but become vigilant. This was no longer the world he once knew. If he judged everything based on his past experiences, he wouldn't even know how he died.
He couldn't see the opponent's martial soul, and there wasn't even a martial soul in her hands. Only the rising soul rings hovered around the woman, making the surrounding aura even heavier.
Purple, purple, purple, purple, red, black, black, red, red.
Such a configuration wasn't too shocking in front of the well-informed Tang San and the others.
Whether it was Ning Rongrong's soul rings or Qian Renxue's previous soul rings, they far surpassed this.
However, obtaining a purple soul ring for the first soul ring, a ten-thousand-year soul ring for the fifth, and two more ten-thousand-year-plus soul rings at the end was definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve.
"Who exactly are you?"
The most terrifying thing was that the opponent could walk through the poisonous gas without any concern.
This made Tang San cautious for a moment.
Even Dugu Bo couldn't do this, after all, Dugu Bo was just a young man in his dozens of years.
He, the Tang God King, had lived for tens of thousands of years. To put it bluntly, during his time as God King, he had seen far more poisons than Dugu Bo had ever used—it was practically a dimensional suppression.
But today...
"Who? The one who will kill you."
"It's not that retribution doesn't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet. Tang San, go die!"
The woman slowly raised her slender right hand and opened her palm.
The surrounding poisonous mist and toxins rapidly converged toward the woman, forming a massive toxic orb energy body.
In this toxin orb, the poison had directly turned into liquid form.
A faint purple light emanated from the woman's palm.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"
The toxin orb condensed in her palm erupted with a heart-palpitating aura.
"Not good, the degree of the poison is increasing."
Tang San ultimately had the experience of the Tang God King. He vaguely sensed that the moment the opponent infused soul power into the toxin orb, the might of the poison grew in a geometric progression.
"Great-grandfather, Senior Bo Saixi, get out of the way quickly!"
Tang San leaped into the air. Tang Chen and Bo Saixi, reacting a bit late, also hurriedly took to the skies.
The instant Tang San and the others left the ground, the giant toxin bomb landed where they had been standing.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently, and a hundred-meter tornado quickly formed.
The pale green tornado ravaged the surrounding earth.
The toxins emitted from the storm corroded everything they could reach.
The city—the original city walls—began to melt directly after being splashed by the liquid from the storm.
Bit by bit, they disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tang San's expression was still manageable, but Tang Chen and Bo Saixi trembled uncontrollably. It was a matter of experience; when had they ever seen a poison that could dissolve everything?
They had originally thought Dugu Bo was already invincible in the world, and that Little San could counter him was already awe-inspiring.
But now...
"Damn it, when did I offend this person?"
Especially when the woman opposite lightly lifted her mask, stuck out her tongue to lick the toxin that had splashed onto her wrist, and murmured, "Not bad taste."
Tang Chen felt completely unwell.
Where did this little cutie come from? She dared to eat anything—it was terrifying.
In fact, Tang San also felt his scalp go numb. Even if he had previously planned to use the toxin-avoiding pearl to absorb blood and break through to higher levels, he couldn't withstand this kind of situation now!
The opponent's strength wasn't considered strong—definitely not at Super Douluo level—but this poison alone could make even a Super Douluo suffer a tragic fate if careless.
"Let's go all out." Tang San gritted his teeth, a resolute look on his face. "I don't know who you are, but since you dare come looking for trouble with us, you've already sealed your fate."
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step"
Countless afterimages appeared in the sky.
Tang San's speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of the woman.
"Your poison is very strong, but what if I fight in close combat!" A Haotian Hammer appeared in Tang San's right hand. The originally black hammer emitted a faint red light under the enhancement of his soul rings.
"Die!"
"Haotian Nine Absolutes—Nine Absolutes United"
"Shock"
A powerful hammer wind accompanied Tang San's swing of the Haotian Hammer.
It smashed fiercely toward the woman in front of him.
"Bang"
The moment the hammer wind was about to touch the woman's body, a green barrier appeared, seemingly formed from toxins.
However, this small defense could only yield under the power of the Haotian Hammer.
The woman let out a muffled groan, flew backward, and crashed heavily a hundred meters away.
Tang San shouldered the Haotian Hammer, his expression somber.
"Provoking the strong—this is the price."
Although he was only approaching level 96, with his full strength, even a level 99 opponent wouldn't be a problem.
A mere level 94 Title Douluo, even with somewhat impressive soul rings, was nothing much.
"You're very strong, Tang San."
The woman staggered to her feet. After taking a full hammer from the Haotian Hammer, her arms had already turned to powder, but Tang San always had a vague sense of unease.
"Impossible!"
Tang San suddenly exclaimed in shock.
Countless poisonous mists surged toward the position of the woman's arms.
In the blink of an eye, her arms recovered, and even the injuries on her body disappeared without a trace.
"You... who exactly are you?"
Such powerful recovery ability—even Nine Heart Begonia couldn't achieve this.
"Who do you think I am? The one who ruined my grandfather's reputation still dares to yip and bark madly."
"Ruined your grandfather's reputation?"
Tang San was stunned, then his expression changed slightly. A certain scene emerged in his mind.
This wasn't his original world, but another parallel world. The people and things this world's Tang San had encountered flashed through Tang San's mind one after another.
"You're..." Before Tang San could finish, the snake-patterned mask the woman wore on her face began to fall away, revealing her true appearance.
"Dugu Yan, it's you! How is this possible? How could you be a Title Douluo?" Tang San's eyes widened, and he couldn't help exclaiming.
With Dugu Yan's trash talent, forget Title Douluo—even reaching Soul Douluo was difficult, and she had three ten-thousand-year soul rings, with the first one being purple.
Even in this world's Dugu Yan, the earlier soul rings should logically be hundred-year ones!
