Chapter 244: Dugu Yan's Soul Skills: Hallucination and Blindness, Tang San’s Miserable Defeat!

In the blink of an eye, the green poisonous mist had already spread to the Shrek team's side. While Ning Rongrong and Oscar hadn't been affected yet, the rest of the team found themselves enveloped by the mist to varying degrees.

Su Ming initially felt a slight paralysis, but it was quickly neutralized by the life energy within him. He didn't feel any other effects.

However, just because Su Ming wasn't affected didn't mean the others were immune. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the rest could clearly feel the paralysis poison affecting them. What's worse, they couldn't pinpoint their opponents' exact location within the poisonous mist. It felt as though they were running in circles.

Dugu Yan's enhanced first spirit skill not only contained paralysis toxins but also the innate venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. Most importantly, this poisonous mist created a hallucination-like effect, making it seem as if they were trapped in an endless loop.

Of course, such illusionary techniques were completely ineffective against Su Ming. His Fiery Eyes could see through any illusion.

His eyes glowed faintly with a golden light, and he could clearly see that Dai Mubai and the others were running in circles. This puzzled him—he didn't remember Dugu Yan's spirit skills having such an effect. Can they induce hallucinations now?

Concerned for the safety of Xiao Wu and the others, Su Ming decided against sending Xiao Wu to confront Dugu Yan. Her skill was proving tricky.

Immediately, Su Ming activated his spirit skill, summoning vines to bind Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai, pulling them to his side.

He then called out to the back, "Rongrong, be careful. Don't step into this poisonous mist."

After warning them, Su Ming focused on Dugu Yan. Her spirit skills seem completely different from what I know. She's already used her first and third spirit skills—what does her second skill do?

Su Ming had a plan. "Tang San, your Purple Demon Eyes should be immune to the hallucination effects of her poison mist. I'll protect the others. You focus on taking Dugu Yan off the stage!"

With that, Su Ming pulled the team out of the poisonous mist's range. However, based on the mist's spread, it would soon cover the entire arena.

Tang San had no choice but to follow Su Ming's instructions. Among the group, only his Purple Demon Eyes could resist the hallucinatory effects.

Unbeknownst to Tang San, Su Ming's Fiery Eyes also protected him from the illusions, but Su Ming wanted Tang San to test Dugu Yan's abilities for himself since her skills seemed so different from what he remembered.

Tang San also wanted to redeem himself for his earlier mistake. Could the Jade Phosphor Serpent's poison here be different from what I know? Why isn't realgar wine working? But now wasn't the time for speculation. Tang San popped one of Oscar's detox sausages into his mouth and activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track as he charged toward Dugu Yan.

Seeing Tang San rushing toward her, Dugu Yan smiled. She already knew her hallucination-inducing poison mist wouldn't affect Tang San. That's why she had released countless small snakes hidden within the mist, waiting for the moment he showed a weakness to strike him down.

However, with Tang San's speed, her snakes might not hit their target. She needed backup.

Dugu Yan called out, "Oslo, Yu Feng, stop him!"

"Shi Mo, Shi Mo, go forward with Turtle Shell Shield! Lingling, stay behind me."

Following her command, the team quickly took action. Yu Feng launched attacks from the air while Oslo used his speed to block Tang San's path.

Meanwhile, Shi Mo and Shi Mo activated their spirit skills, detaching their tortoise shells. Four giant shields flew toward Tang San, controlled by the twins.

Even with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San couldn't evade all the attacks. He made a slight mistake, leaving an opening.

Dugu Yan seized the moment. With a flick of her wrist, dozens of small, green, transparent snakes hidden in the mist leaped at Tang San, their sharp fangs aiming for him.

"Argh!"

The moment Tang San was bitten, his vision plunged into darkness. Not only did his Purple Demon Eyes fail to work, but he was also completely blinded.

In that brief instant, the other attacks from the team hit him squarely!

Tang San didn't have the antidote to the Jade Phosphor Serpent's venom. Oscar's detox sausages weren't enough to counteract all three types of Dugu Yan's toxins. As a result, Tang San's movements became sluggish, and he couldn't dodge every attack with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Worse yet, he couldn't even see the transparent snakes hiding in the mist—they blended in perfectly!

Su Ming and the others were shocked to see Tang San get hit by all those attacks at once. He was dodging so well just a moment ago!

Su Ming's sharp eyes quickly noticed something was wrong. He spoke in a grave tone, "It must be those tiny snakes. Tang San was bitten, and his movements stopped!"

On the sidelines, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had been watching Tang San's performance with pride. That's my disciple—handling all those attacks with such grace! But in the next moment…

"Xiao San!" Yu Xiaogang shouted, stepping forward instinctively, only to be held back by Flender. With his level of strength, rushing in would only make things worse.

Surrounded by darkness and intense pain, Tang San was on the verge of passing out. Relying on pure instinct, he summoned his Eight Spider Lances, hoping to drive his attackers away.

He shouted desperately, "Su Ming! Pull me back! I can't see anything!"

Su Ming hadn't expected Dugu Yan's second spirit skill to cause blindness. Her spirit skills are so much more powerful than I knew!

Dugu Yan, noticing Tang San's Eight Spider Lances and hearing him cry for help, made a swift decision. "Oslo, fall back! Yu Feng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, quickly knock Tang San off the stage!"

The Emperor Team responded immediately, launching their attacks before Su Ming could reach Tang San. The four tortoise shields and Yu Feng's strikes sent Tang San flying off the stage.

Tang San lay motionless, blood pouring from his body, his face pale as gold paper—he had completely passed out.
