I'd give Bibi Dong's flex an 8.4, because there's still 1.6
Bibi Dong circulated her Soul Power.
She intended to fly into the examination room. After all, she had sores on the soles of her feet and couldn't stand.
But unexpectedly,
Tang Hao's words greatly displeased her.
"Tang Hao, you dare make me wait in line?"
Tang Hao was frantic and desperately eager to revive Ah Yin.
According to Cao Mengde, it would take three days to prepare the medicine.
If Bibi Dong cut in line for treatment midway through,
wouldn't Ah Yin's revival be delayed?
He wasn't willing to waste even a second.
"Hmph!"
"I'm seeing this young man for treatment. You came later, so of course you have to wait in line."
Rumble!
Powerful Soul Power burst out of Bibi Dong's body.
"How dare you."
"Tang Hao, you dare make me wait in line? Are you courting death?"
A thought stirred in Tang Hao's mind.
He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his palm, his face filled with murderous intent.
He already bore a grudge against Spirit Hall, so seeing Bibi Dong about to attack naturally filled him with fury.
"Bibi Dong, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
As his voice fell,
the atmosphere in Rejuvenation Hall's lobby froze, tense as drawn swords and bent bows.
Cao Mengde secretly rejoiced.
There was a good show to watch.
Had Tang Hao gone mad?
He actually dared challenge Bibi Dong?
The Clear Sky Hammer was indeed powerful, but before Bibi Dong, he was nothing to worry about.
"Your Holiness, Clear Sky Douluo, so you two wanted to spar?"
"That's all right. The herbs here aren't worth much, so fight all you want. Even if you turn Rejuvenation Hall upside down, it's fine."
"I just want to watch."
Cao Mengde wasn't afraid of making things worse. He stood quietly to one side, fanning the flames.
Tang Hao's expression was fierce.
Gradually,
however, it softened despite himself.
The herbs needed to prepare a medicine that could revive Ah Yin had to be rare. He couldn't act recklessly.
Besides,
the gap between his Soul Power and Bibi Dong's was quite obvious.
If they fought, he wouldn't gain any advantage.
"Forget it."
"If you want to cut in line for treatment, go ahead. I can wait."
Clearly,
Tang Hao had chickened out.
The result left Cao Mengde deeply disappointed.
Bibi Dong gave a cold snort.
If she hadn't been afflicted with a strange illness, she would have taught Tang Hao a lesson even if he backed down.
"Mengde, come in and take a look at me."
Cao Mengde gave Tang Hao a helpless look.
"Your Excellency Haotian, I'm afraid I must trouble you to wait."
"Be quick." Unable to fight Bibi Dong, Tang Hao could only accept it and hope Cao Mengde wouldn't take too long.
Cao Mengde put on an ingratiating smile.
In truth, he was delighted.
He actually dared speak to me in that tone? He'll have plenty to deal with in a moment.
After walking into the examination room,
he saw that Bibi Dong was already lying on the sickbed.
"Mengde, my feet..."
Before she could finish,
Cao Mengde gestured for her to be quiet.
Then he quickly approached Bibi Dong, leaned close to her ear, and spoke softly.
"Your Holiness, save me."
Bibi Dong frowned. "What happened?"
Because the two were so close, Cao Mengde caught the familiar scent of a mature woman.
That strength and fragrance-
it was intoxicating.
"Your Holiness the Pope, Tang Hao wants to kill me. I had no choice but to make up a way to revive Ah Yin and stall for time. Luckily, you came."
Bibi Dong was already displeased with Tang Hao.
Now that Cao Mengde had a request, she naturally agreed with pleasure.
"Wait here."
"I'll drive him away, so he doesn't spoil my mood for treatment."
Bibi Dong quickly got up, picked up the scepter leaning against the bed, and flew out of the examination room.
Seeing this,
Tang Hao rejoiced.
Had Cao Mengde treated Bibi Dong so quickly?
Good.
Finally, no one would delay Ah Yin's revival.
"The dignified Pope of Spirit Hall, and to think even you get sick. I won't see you out," Tang Hao remarked casually.
A chill flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
She had only intended to drive Tang Hao away, but now it seemed she had to beat him to death.
"Tang Hao, what are you being so sarcastic about?"
"You've been disrespectful to me again and again. Die."
Sixth Soul Skill.
Blood-Sucking Spider Thorn.
Whoosh-
More than a dozen sharp spider thorns shot through the air.
Purple from end to end, they gleamed with a crystal-clear sheen that betrayed their deadly poison, making one shudder.
Tang Hao was startled.
He hadn't expected
Bibi Dong to attack him so quickly. He had thought they would merely exchange a few words.
In the emergency,
Tang Hao immediately summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and swung it with a thunderous force.
Clang, clang.
The eerie purple spider thorns fell, and the floor instantly turned pitch-black as poisonous gas spread in every direction.
"Bibi Dong, I kindly let you cut in line for treatment. Why are you attacking me?"
Bibi Dong couldn't help laughing.
"Tang Hao, your disrespect toward me is your crime."
Clearly,
she had no intention of giving Cao Mengde away.
Cao Mengde lived in Spirit City and could be considered half a member of Spirit Hall, so Bibi Dong was willing to look out for him.
"Tang Hao, Spirit City is forbidden territory to you."
"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish."
Eighth Soul Skill.
Spider Emperor Clone.
At that thought,
Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor split into two and attacked Tang Hao from both sides.
Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, doing his utmost to defend himself.
The thought of Bibi Dong inexplicably losing her temper made him angry.
He still had to wait for Cao Mengde to prepare the revival pill for Ah Yin.
"Bibi Dong, I came to see Cao Mengde for treatment, not to fight you."
"If you want to fight, let's arrange another time."
Hearing this,
Bibi Dong found it utterly ridiculous.
"You don't want to fight me? But..."
"I want your life."
With those words,
the Spider Emperor Clone Martial Soul merged back into one.
Her Second Martial Soul, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, appeared.
Death Domain.
Sixth Soul Skill.
Space-Rending Abyss Slash.
A slash of light that tore across the sky struck down in concert with the domain.
Tang Hao was about to explode with anger.
Hadn't he merely said a few things to Bibi Dong about cutting in line?
Was that enough for her to turn on him?
And her moves were vicious; she was clearly intent on taking his life.
"Bibi Dong, you lunatic."
Tang Hao was furious.
To escape the danger, he had no choice but to use his trump card.
The nine Soul Rings circling beneath his feet began to tremble violently.
Nine rings.
Detonate!
Crack.
A crisp sound rang out.
All nine Soul Rings shattered, their power flowing into the Clear Sky Hammer.
Great Sumeru Hammer.
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes widened.
Soul Rings could shatter?
What kind of Soul Skill was this?
It could actually unleash such tremendous power?
Never mind that for now.
Tang Hao was only level 95. No matter what sorcery he was using, could he possibly defeat her?
"Go!"
Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold as she poured all her Soul Power into the attack.
The purple slash of light surged fiercely against the Clear Sky Hammer.
Boom.
A tremendous crash rang out.
The collision of the Soul Skills produced a powerful shock wave.
With a splutter, Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood.
She truly was a Peerless Douluo.
He still carried an old injury, and even with Ring Detonation, his current strength was no match for her.
If this went on, that crazy woman would beat him to death.
It seemed he could only come back for Cao Mengde another day.
Bibi Dong immediately focused and circulated her Qi, switching to her First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor.
Sixth Soul Skill.
Eternal Wound.
"Hm?"
"Where did he go?"
The fluctuations of Soul Power faded, and Tang Hao was nowhere to be seen.
A thought flickered through Bibi Dong's mind.
She changed back into her papal robes and slowly descended, scepter in hand.
"Hmph..."
"Clear Sky Douluo? Nothing special."
Cao Mengde, who had been watching the fight from the doorway of the examination room, couldn't resist teasing her.
"His Holiness the Pope, that was a good bit of showing off, but I can only give you 8.4 points, because you have 1.6."
