Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 109: Poison Douluo’s Surprise

Poison Douluo had a secret, one that he had never revealed to anyone.

He was poisoned.

It was ironic—someone with the title of "Poison" was actually poisoned himself. Worse yet, he couldn't cure it, because the problem originated within his own body.

This was the very reason why he was still stuck at Rank 91.

He didn't mind enduring the torment of the poison himself.

But when he thought about his granddaughter, a beautiful and delicate young girl, suffering the same agony in the future, his heart ached.

Now that Dan Heng was able to detoxify Tai Nou, could he perhaps cure Poison Douluo in the future as well?

Of course, this was something Poison Douluo still needed to observe further.

After all, the poison he had just used could actually be cured by himself.

"Tell me, why did you choose to detoxify in that way?"

Poison Douluo asked.

Dan Heng glanced at him but didn't respond. Instead, he helped Tai Nou up from the ground.

The once dark and burly man had turned significantly paler after being tormented by the poison. His face, in particular, had lost all color.

Tai Nou trembled all over, clearly enraged but too afraid to speak.

He was not as "reckless" as Dan Heng.

Even after being tormented by Poison Douluo, he wouldn't dare utter a single complaint.

Otherwise, even if Poison Douluo killed him, his Strength Clan wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"Did you not hear my question?"

Poison Douluo frowned and asked again.

Dan Heng replied indifferently, "Naturally, only by understanding the poison can one determine the most appropriate method of detoxification."

Poison Douluo nodded but was still not entirely satisfied.

He studied Dan Heng, contemplating whether to test him further.

Dan Heng continued, "A gentleman's word is as solid as four galloping horses. Poison Douluo, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

Tai Nou, still trembling, wanted to give Dan Heng a thumbs-up.

Truly fearless!

If it were him, he wouldn't have dared to be this bold.

But confronting a Titled Douluo like this multiple times... Dan Heng was probably doomed!

Tai Nou couldn't help but look at Dan Heng with pity. Forcing a Titled Douluo into a fit of rage was extremely dangerous.

"..." Poison Douluo's expression flickered.

After a brief hesitation, he said, "Since I promised, I naturally won't go back on my word."

Tai Nou let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Poison Douluo wasn't as ruthless as the rumors suggested.

Both he and Dan Heng had managed to keep their lives!

"However, I will now give you an opportunity..."

"If you can detoxify him again, I will gift you a rare herb—one even Chrysanthemum Douluo has never found."

Poison Douluo suddenly said.

"..."

Tai Nou blinked. Hadn't his poison already been cured? Then why was Poison Douluo still looking at him?

"Alright," Dan Heng nodded.

At this point, it wasn't even up to him whether to accept or refuse.

Poison Douluo let out a soft hum and raised his hand, pointing a finger at Tai Nou.

A streak of green light shot forward, instantly entering Tai Nou's mouth.

"Bang...!"

Tai Nou arched backward and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Green, web-like patterns appeared across his body. His expression twisted in agony, and he began groaning in pain.

"Help... help me, it hurts so much..."

Tai Nou writhed on the ground.

Dan Heng frowned slightly and looked toward Poison Douluo.

Poison Douluo said calmly, "Don't worry, I value my promises. Since I said I wouldn't kill you, your lives are safe."

"If you fail to cure him, I still won't take his life. In fact, I will even grant him a special opportunity."

Poison Douluo explained, his eyes filled with anticipation.

If Dan Heng could even neutralize this poison, it would prove that he might be capable of curing Poison Douluo himself.

At that point, Dan Heng's importance would be immeasurable.

Forget offering him a single rare herb—Poison Douluo wouldn't hesitate to give him his entire medicinal garden!

Hearing this assurance, Dan Heng no longer questioned it. He pressed down on Taino, lifted his clothing, and carefully observed the patterns on his skin.

He then pricked Taino's skin and extracted some blood.

After examining the blood, his expression changed—the poison was even more troublesome than he had anticipated.

This wasn't a simple soul beast or plant-based toxin—it was formed from soul power itself!

Dan Heng frowned and said, "This poison... if handled improperly, it will fuse with his own soul power, making it impossible to remove in the future!"

Poison Douluo nodded, his gaze toward Dan Heng growing more intrigued. "Correct. So, what will you do?"

He was quite impressed by Dan Heng's keen observation.

Just as Dan Heng had pointed out, the true danger of this poison lay in its ability to merge with soul power. Once it fully integrated, purging it would become nearly impossible.

Even now, while he could still treat his granddaughter, as her cultivation advanced, the process of removing the poison would only become more difficult.

Even if she was cured now, it was certain to relapse in the future.

Dan Heng said, "Tai Nou, release your soul power."

Taino could still hear Dan Heng's voice. After a brief moment of stillness, he released a faint amount of soul power.

The energy was weak and dark black, lingering on his body's surface.

Dan Heng watched the changes closely.

Poison Douluo also observed, though his focus was more on Dan Heng's approach.

Dan Heng sighed, "Medicine can only slow the poison's invasion. Ultimately, it depends on your willpower..."

"Willpower?" Tai Nou's face darkened.

He regretted everything. Why had he come looking for trouble? He had practically invited this suffering upon himself!

"Mr. Dan Heng... please, think of something quickly! I-I can't take this pain any longer..."

Tai Nou clenched his fists, striking the ground to distract himself.

Dan Heng considered for a moment, then pulled out a pack of silver needles from his pocket.

These were techniques he had learned from reading medical books recently.

Now, he had the perfect subject to test them on.

Poison Douluo was slightly taken aback, unable to understand Dan Heng's approach.

Dan Heng moved swiftly, piercing a needle into the back of Tai Nou's neck. Then, he followed with several more in rapid succession.

Tai Nou immediately stopped struggling and lay still on the ground, looking at Dan Heng in confusion.

"I... I can't feel my body anymore?"

Dan Heng explained, "I've temporarily blocked your nerves. You won't feel anything below your neck."

"But you can still control your body. Follow my instructions—when I tell you to release soul power, do so."

As he spoke, Dan Heng continued inserting needles into Tai Nou's back, gradually forcing the poison out through controlled soul power activation.

Moments later, Taino resembled a human pincushion, his body covered in silver needles.

At the same time, the poison inside him had been completely expelled.

Dan Heng nodded slightly and quickly removed the needles.

As the last needle was pulled from his neck, Tai Nou regained sensation in his body.

Tears streamed down his face. Only now did he truly appreciate how precious good health was!

He was so overwhelmed with relief that he even forgot about Dan Heng and Poison Douluo beside him.

Poison Douluo's gaze burned as he stared at Dan Heng.

Just this technique alone made Dan Heng worthy of his respect.

And if Dan Heng could cure him...

Poison Douluo declared, "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! You've won. We're leaving now—I'll personally let you choose a rare herb!"

With that, Poison Douluo grabbed Dan Heng's shoulder and swiftly departed.
