"Little brat, let's see where you run to..."

Yuan Qingfeng's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, a faint, eerie sound tinged with a hint of rage.

It seems he's really getting annoyed by this slippery little turtle...

Duobao, darting freely within the black mist...

I just felt my body tense up.

Countless gigantic hands, emerging from the black mist, gripped his body like iron clamps.

No matter how much he twisted and turned, he couldn't break free even a fraction.

"You think you can trap your Daoist master like this?!" Duobao roared, looking at the giant hands surrounding him.

Before the words were finished,

Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from Duobao's body, five colors intertwined and seven colors flowed, as violent as a volcanic eruption.

They tried to pry open the giant black mist hand...

"Click click click..."

The giant black mist hand emitted a series of ear-piercing sounds under the impact of the treasure's light, seemingly becoming somewhat loosened by the force of the treasure.

But then, the black mist linked by the giant hand began to surge wildly.

The somewhat strained giant hand, as if divinely aided, pressed down on Duobao once more.

Like a maggot clinging to a bone, it clung tightly to the precious light.

This not only halted Baoguang's expansion,

Instead, it began to erode and devour the precious light of the Daoist Duobao...

"What the hell is this power?! Are you cheating?!"

Duobao stared wide-eyed at the increasingly dense black mist nourished by his precious light, and couldn't help but swear.

However,

The giant hand formed from black mist wouldn't stop because of Duobao's curses.

The stronger the radiance emanating from him, the more excited the black mist became.

Like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, it frantically absorbed the power of the precious light, becoming increasingly solid and powerful.

The precious light emanating from that treasure resembled that of a girl surrounded by thugs.

The louder the shouts, the more excited the black mist became...

Duobao felt as if he were sinking into quicksand.

The more they struggle, the deeper they sink.

Slowly,

The black mist broke through Duobao's protective aura.

The black mist, as if it were alive, seeped into his pores and began to erode his flesh...

"Holy crap, that hurts like hell..."

After being corroded by the black mist, Duobao let out a strange cry, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He could feel his power rapidly draining away.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll really be sucked dry by this black mist and turned into a dried-up turtle.

Duobao knew he couldn't continue like this.

With a thought, the magical power within his body surged wildly.

The already dazzling light surged even more intensely, enveloping the entire tortoise like a giant sphere of light...

"Break!" Duobao roared, his voice shaking the universe.

However,

This time, the black mist didn't expand as before; instead, it became even more frenzied and aggressive, as if it had been injected with adrenaline.

The black mist churned, transforming into countless tentacles that enveloped and tightly bound the sphere of light. Each tentacle was covered in barbs, deeply embedded in the sphere, frantically drawing upon its power...

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The precious light and black mist intertwined, emitting a sound that made one's teeth ache.

Duobao's face grew increasingly pale; he felt like a balloon being drained of its water, rapidly deflating...

“It’s over, Duobao isn’t going to make it…” Wang Xianghe frowned, his voice filled with worry.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, watching the changes on the battlefield with bated breath.

"Give up, it's useless..." Yuan Qingfeng's voice rang out again. His eyes, hidden in the black mist, stared intently at Duobao before him. No one could see Yuan Qingfeng's expression.

"The more you struggle, the faster you'll die..."

"Bullshit!" Duobao roared, his eyes bloodshot, like a maddened beast.

"This Daoist master...this Daoist master hasn't lost yet!!!"

In excruciating pain, Duobao extended its claws.

Surprisingly, it humanely extended its provocative middle finger:

"You bastard, you cowardly turtle hiding in the black fog all day long, ptooey! You dare call yourself a turtle?! You cowardly trash!!"

"You dare stand up and fight me one-on-one?! Come on over here!!"

Looking at Duobao, who was still putting up a stubborn resistance and even becoming enraged and provocative,

Yuan Qingfeng, emerging from the black mist, sneered: "Heh... You want to probe my secrets even before you die... You're quite the loyal bastard."

"Trash!! If you don't have the guts to show your true face, just say so!! You think you can just stand here with me, your Daoist master... Ouch... Holy crap, stop poking me, stop poking me, it hurts, it really hurts!!!"

Duobao continued to hurl insults at Yuan Qingfeng, but the black mist suddenly exerted its power, viciously twisting into his flesh, causing Duobao to be unable to utter a single curse.

"If you say such disrespectful things again, next time I'll poke your head..." Yuan Qingfeng's icy voice rang out once more.

This time, he emerged from the black mist and steadily approached Duobao.

However, black flames were still rising all around, obscuring the true form...

Yuan Qingfeng walked up to Duobao and looked at him: "Just how much did that kid offer you to be worth risking your life for...?"

Duobao cursed with a look of disdain:

"A true gentleman will die for one who understands him; how could a friendless stray dog ​​like you possibly understand such things..."

"A scholar will die for one who understands him, a scholar will die for one who understands him..." Hearing Duobao's curses...

Yuan Qingfeng did not fly into a rage. Instead, he repeatedly muttered Duobao's first words, lost in thought.

A moment later,

He suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, what a fine example of 'a scholar will die for one who understands him'!!!"

At that moment, he suddenly opened his arms, his expression one of excitement:

How can you know who your true confidant is? How can you know they won't betray you in a crucial moment?!

As Yuan Qingfeng spoke,

He strode up to Duobao, stared at him closely, and even reached out to touch Duobao's head.

"Ignorant child, how much do you know? You..."

Just as Yuan Qingfeng was about to launch into a long speech,

Duobao's head, which had been tucked in, suddenly popped out.

He opened his mouth.

With lightning speed,

She bit down hard on the hand that had been stroking her head.

In a short time,

The precious light emanated from Duobao's mouth.

It clung tightly to Yuan Qingfeng's palm along the mouth.

Directly locking down Yuan Qingfeng's true form...

At this time, Duobao

His small eyes lit up slightly, seemingly with a smile.

It opened and closed its lips, and spoke softly through its back molars:

You've been tricked...
