Chapter 245: Being Publicly Humiliated, Avalanche Dumbfounded! The Poison Douluo Who Instantly Cowers!_1
Impatience quickly spread from inside the carriage, conveyed through an elder's hoarse voice.
"I thought there was some grave matter requiring my attention, my granddaughter and I do not have time to delay our journey over your trivial issues."
Avalanche Chen Ken said:
"Lord Poison Douluo, there's a brat here who, emboldened by a bit of strength, has become utterly arrogant and insulted our royal dignity. Please, lend us your hand to take him down."
The old man snorted and said, "As a prince, you can't handle a mere brat on your own?"
At this point, the arrogant Avalanche showed a much humbler posture.
"This kid is a bit tricky; I ask for your assistance."
Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, cunning flashed in Avalanche's eyes, and he continued, "Earlier when I encountered this kid, I mentioned that I would ask for your help by invoking your name."
"Then the kid said that even if you came, he would still beat me as he pleased."
The elder's voice trembled with authority, "Did he really say that?"
"Absolutely true!"
Avalanche spoke with certainty and even glanced at Luo Yu with a mocking look, as if to say, you're finished now, kid.
The carriage curtains fluttered.
The lean old man stepped down, his emerald green robe swaying, and his unkempt white hair fluttering in chaos.
The air around seemed to thicken because of the old man's presence, and the intense pressure made Avalanche's eyelids twitch.
Pointing at Luo Yu, he said, "Lord Poison Douluo, this is the disrespectful brat."
Poison Douluo followed Avalanche's pointed gaze and saw Luo Yu standing there calmly.
He said sternly and authoritatively, "Boy, are you the one who hit Avalanche?"
Luo Yu watched Poison Douluo step down from the carriage and question him.
He was slightly surprised.
Is he... not recognizing me?
Only then did he remember that Poison Douluo had never seen him disguised, only Dugu Yan had.
Seeing Luo Yu remain silent, Avalanche's sense of triumph grew.
Standing beside Poison Douluo, there was a hint of borrowed authority in his demeanor.
Feeling the surge of power, he could not help but sneer, "Kid, Lord Poison Douluo is speaking to you. Are you deaf?"
"You were acting tough before, so why have you gone soft now?"
"Keep boasting, go on."
"I really thought you were fearless and ready to fight, but it turns out you're just a coward."
As Luo Yu remained silent, Avalanche laughed out loud, swiftly regaining the face he had lost before.
Turning his head, he respectfully looked at Poison Douluo and said pleasingly:
"Lord Poison Douluo, you don't know, this kid was insufferably arrogant before, but seeing you, he shrunk like a mouse seeing a giant dragon, completely cowed, haha."
Poison Douluo didn't rush to make a move, seemingly giving Avalanche time to perform, allowing him to act even more arrogantly.
Avalanche, feeling completely safe next to Poison Douluo, provocatively hooked his finger at Luo Yu, taunting:
"Kid, you like to show off, don't you?"
"Today, I'll give you a chance."
"Come on, hit me."
"Do you dare, hahaha?"
Avalanche laughed wildly.
"Such a despicable request, of course, I'll satisfy you."
Luo Yu's eyes narrowed, and his feet spun instantly, moving like a ghostly shadow.
Avalanche shook his head disdainfully, "Ignorant of life and death, if you come at me, you're done for."
Luo Yu was already close to Avalanche.
Poison Douluo's palm flashed with green light, poison gas exploded, accurately enveloping Luo Yu.
In Avalanche's eyes, Luo Yu was as good as finished.
He gave Luo Yu a middle finger through the poison cloud, his face filled with contempt.
"You come when I tell you to, fool…"
Before he could finish his insult, a large hand lashed out from the poison fog.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound echoed through the street.
The sound was crisp, not like a slap to the face, but more like gunpowder igniting, forcibly cutting off Avalanche's unfinished words.
Pain seared across his cheek, leaving Avalanche dumbfounded, wondering what on earth had just happened.
This guy can resist the poison of a Titled Douluo level?
Impossible!
Another kick shot out from within the poison fog, hitting Avalanche directly in the belly.
With one kick, he turned him into a curled-up shrimp, sending him flying out, shattering a wooden table, raising wood chips, and crashing to the ground with a thud.
The whole audience was instantly shocked, even Poison Douluo's eyes bulged.
Although he hadn't been serious, his poison wasn't something that just anyone could withstand so casually.
Avalanche lay on the ground, clutching his chest, staring wide-eyed in the direction of the poison fog.
"How is it possible, how could this guy still have the strength to hit people!!"
When Avalanche saw Luo Yu emerge unscathed from the poison fog, he said in disbelief,
"You couldn't possibly withstand Lord Poison Douluo's deadly poison."
Luo Yu's mouth curled into a smile, slowly shaking his head.
"His poison? Impressive, really? To tell the truth, it's pretty trash..."
"What?"
Hearing the disdain in Luo Yu's tone, the entire place fell into stunned silence.
Whether it was the guards or Avalanche, they all looked at Luo Yu with disbelief.
"Has this kid gone mad, does he know who he's mocking?"
"Dare to call Poison Douluo's poison 'trash'?"
"In terms of strength, Poison Douluo might not be the best in the world, but when it comes to using poison, he's undoubtedly the peak, unquestionable. Mocking his poison, no one on Soul Land has the right to speak like that."
Clutching his painfully throbbing face, a twisted expression took over Avalanche's features. "Kid, getting on my bad side, at most you'd end up crippled, but with the nerve to say such things today, not even gods could save you."
Luo Yu looked down at Avalanche: "I not only call his poison trash, but I can also make him admit his poison is trash. Believe it or not?"
"You're crazy, you must be crazy," Avalanche shook his head repeatedly—did this guy know what he was saying?
The surrounding guards and onlookers also started to think Luo Yu was mentally unstable.
To hold such contempt for Poison Douluo, there could be no way out for him.
After all, Poison Douluo was known to have a very peculiar character, usually, no one dared to provoke him.
Poison Douluo stood there with an ugly expression, fists clenched, clearly on the verge of exploding.
Just as everyone thought, how could he tolerate such mockery? His voice, cold as the reaper's, passed judgment on Luo Yu.
"Kid, if you're looking for death, you've definitely found the wrong person."
"I will make you wish you were dead."
Facing Poison Douluo's threat, Luo Yu chuckled and shook his head.
"Old Poison, could it be that it's been so long that you can't even recognize my voice anymore?"
"Hmm?"
Poison Douluo's body shook.
He hadn't paid attention until now, but listening to the tone of voice and seeing the eyes, why did they seem familiar?
Avalanche kept shaking his head from the side.
Overtly courting death.
To dare call Poison Douluo "Old Poison," not even my father, the Snow Night Emperor, would dare to; if you're not courting death, who is?
"Ao!"
A dragon's roar echoed, and Dragon Might began to emanate from Luo Yu.
Poison Douluo, who had been lost in his memories, suddenly trembled with shock, looking at Luo Yu.
His usual stern severity now stumbled into a stammer.
"You... you are..."
Luo Yu reined in his aura, speaking with a smirk: "What's the matter, I said your poison was trash, is there a problem with that?"
"If others aren't qualified to say it, if you say it's trash, then it certainly is trash!" Poison Douluo said with a flattering face, desperately trying to please.
The surrounding Avalanche, guards, and crowd were instantly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
"Holy shit, what's going on?"
"???"
Avalanche's mouth hung open, his expression that of constipation.
What on earth had just happened?
Was this still the relentless, unblinking Poison Douluo they knew?
Facing this young man, he gave in within a second???
