Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 124 Ice River Valley Colludes with Soul PalaceA flash of despair crossed the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast’s eyes.

But it had been notorious for a long time; a roar poured out of it,

”The Scorpion Dragon Clan will not let you go! My clan will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces!”

”I’ll be waiting.” Gu He’s voice was calm, and the Crimson Sky Sword had already been put away.

He was confident he could resolve this Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast in a single move.

Hands tucked in his sleeves, his poise remained unchanged.

The Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast raised its massive, hard scorpion tail in an attempt to protect its body, yet it was still pierced through by Gu He’s strike.

From the tail to the body, a significant black hole was pierced through.

But even so, the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast did not die immediately.

In the Fallen God Stream, the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast’s strength was among the best; it had also crushed countless humans who came to challenge or provoke it, turning them into a smear of yellow earth and lime in the stone fort. Just as the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast rejoiced that Gu He hadn’t killed it in one move,

That Stone-Green Strange Fire seemed to have eyes of its own, as if knowing it still had breath left, it split off a small but scorching flame that shot straight toward its forehead like a sharp arrow.

”Puchi—”

Under this terrifying power, the latter’s massive head instantly let out a loud bang and turned into countless pieces of flesh, exploding violently!

Before the joy in its eyes could fade, the life of this Demonic Beast overlord came to a complete end!

”Xian’er, come over.”

Gu He quickly used his strange fire to refine the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast’s corpse, extracting its Essence Blood and Magic Core, then let Xiao Yi Xian use her Cultivation Technique to absorb the toxins throughout its body after refinement.

Feng Qing’er spread a thin layer of beast skin on a boulder. Xiao Yi Xian sat cross-legged on it, refining the toxins while also consuming the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast’s Essence Blood refined by Gu He.

Upon consumption, the bottleneck of Xiao Yi Xian’s cultivation was pierced through like thin paper. Her Dou Qi’s thickness surged rapidly, and her cultivation level shot up like an arrow.

...

At the same time.

Deep within an ice plain, a hidden, magnificent grand hall became lively.

This grand hall was permeated with an imperceptible, deathly cold aura. Inside the hall, questioning voices rang out.

”Heavenly Snake, are you sure?”

”The Calamity Poison Woman appeared, and three of our Elders fell at her hands?”

In this freezing grand hall, a man dressed in white robes sat at the head, perched upon a frigid throne.

His emotionless eyes glanced at the old man prostrate on the ground in the hall. His calm voice, however, caused the cold air in the entire hall to rise instantly.

Heavenly Snake raised his head tremblingly and replied, ”Yes... yes.”

”Ice Talisman, Ice Origin, and the others were killed in an instant by a man with the Calamity Poison Woman. That Calamity Poison Woman called that man teacher, and Ice Crane, who rushed there, also died at his hands.”

”That man... is the one who killed half of the Heavenly Thunder Northern Pavilion and has recently become famous in the Central Plains... Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire.”

Hearing this, even the eyes of the figure on the frigid throne couldn’t help but ripple slightly.

”Jia Ma Empire? Never heard of it.”

”Is there anything special about this person? Could he be a Dou Zun?”

The person on the frozen throne spoke with a hint of nonchalance.

He was the Valley Master of the Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys of the Central Plains, nicknamed ”Ice Venerable,” a Five-Star Dou Zun expert.

And he also possessed an Acquired Calamity Poison Body, a special Physique artificially created by risking a narrow escape from death. Because of this, he was exceptionally eager to obtain a true Calamity Poison Body to evolve his own Acquired Physique.

The path of the strong is to go against heaven; Ice Venerable had never given up searching for the Calamity Poison Body. Now that he had heard news of it, although it didn’t show on his face, his hidden excitement was not small at all.

Ice Venerable’s ”Could he be a Dou Zun” made Heavenly Snake feel the surrounding cold air increase even more.

He replied with a trembling voice,

”N-no... he is only a Dou Zong... an Eight-Star Dou Zong!”

”Dou Zong?” Ice Venerable rarely showed emotion, but he raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest coloring his expression.

”An Eight-Star Dou Zong managed to protect that Calamity Poison Body disciple...?”

While Heavenly Snake’s breath trembled, Ice Venerable’s voice had already taken on a hint of anger.

”Are you all some kind of useless trash?”

”And you? Couldn’t you have taken people to test him? I previously assigned dozens of subordinates to you; couldn’t you use them?”

Heavenly Snake remained in a kneeling position. His knees were already numb, yet he still didn’t dare to move.

”This... they are in the Fallen God Stream. I watched from a distance as they killed the Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast. That Ancient Poison Beast was powerless in Gu He’s hands...” Heavenly Snake paused before saying the most important sentence.

”In that Gu He’s hands, he has a strange fire no less than the top ten on the strange fire ranking list!”

”His moves are ruthless; he is not someone an ordinary person can deal with...”

Atop the frigid throne, Ice Venerable frowned slightly, releasing a heart-shaking chill.

This chill carried an overwhelming icy touch, gradually filling the entire hall.

In this extremely cold environment, even Dou Qi seemed to be solidified. The kneeling Heavenly Snake couldn’t help but shudder.

”Jie jie jie...”

”Ice Venerable, there’s no need to be angry. We can help you...”

As the chill spread, a strange black gas suddenly emerged in the hall.

Amidst the swirling black mist, a figure formed. As the black mist writhed, the faint sound of chains rubbing against each other could be heard.

”People from the Hall of Souls? To think you would come to my Ice Valley; you are truly rare guests...”

Facing the appearance of the black mist, Ice Venerable did not show the slightest surprise, only speaking indifferently.

”Jie jie, that Gu He beside the Calamity Poison Woman is a target of my Hall of Souls. Since our targets are the same, perhaps this time... we can join forces?”

”What does Ice Venerable think?”

The black mist writhed, and a piercing, strange laugh rang out.

Ice Venerable thought for only a moment before decisively making the decision of a superior.

”The Calamity Poison Body belongs to my Ice Valley, and the rest can be handled by your Hall of Souls as you wish...”

On the frozen throne, he slowly stood up, and terrifying cold air turned into a cold current that spread out with his breath.

He glanced at the black mist figure, his voice also carrying a chill.

”As expected of Ice Venerable, such boldness is far beyond ordinary people!”

”Jie jie jie, since that’s the case, then I wish us a happy cooperation... jie jie, what a pleasant conversation.”

The black shadow surged for a moment like greasy slime, then disappeared from the hall.

An Alchemist with high-intensity strange fire... jie jie jie...

Capturing him and refining him... jie jie, it will surely be very interesting!

...

In Ye City, where it was like spring all year round.

Gu He brought Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and the others here to rest.

After high-intensity battles and cultivation, one must not forget to rest.

Especially...

During the day, in the courtyard.

Gu He pressed his fingers together and pulled out the small colorful snake that was mischievously burrowing and intentionally or unintentionally wrapping around his waist.

”Medusa, if you feel bored, come out yourself.”

Perhaps because ”kings do not meet kings,” Medusa had always refused to meet Yun Yun or get to know each other.

She had been hiding in Gu He’s inner pocket, and even when she came out to see the sun, she had a lazy look.

A flash of colorful light from the small snake, and an exquisite and sexy body appeared before Gu He’s eyes. With her long white legs crossed, the purple robe, which looked silky to the touch at a glance, made that body look even more graceful and amazing.

”Hmph!” Medusa gave a light snort.
