Appearance, Ma Xiaotao?

Arcs of electricity surged along the Thunderclap Spear. With a single strike, Liu Xinghan forced back the Evil Spirit Master attacking him. Looking at his teammates, who were showing signs of collapse, his expression darkened as well.

This was not a situation that he, a Soul Elder who had yet to obtain even his third spirit ring, could change. He could only follow the others, fighting as they retreated.

Blood Spirit unleashed her Eighth Spirit Skill, sending Bofeng and the others flying.

With no opponents left to stop her, she immediately began a slaughter.

Charging into the crowd, there was almost no one in the Spirit Hall camp who could withstand even one exchange with her.

Despair!

In the blink of an eye, no fewer than fifty Spirit Masters had died at Blood Spirit's hands.

Everyone was terrified out of their wits and fled frantically.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang out—the battle in the sky had ended.

The enormous Blood Bat King's Ninth Spirit Ring lit up. Its wings beat rapidly, forming a crimson tornado over a hundred meters tall that blasted straight toward Hun Yue.

Hun Yue's face was pale.

Blood Bat Venerable's Blood Poison was simply too troublesome. It had severely damaged her vitality, and her Soul Power had to both suppress her injuries and resist the Blood Poison to keep it from invading her internal organs.

In her current state, she could not even use her Ninth Spirit Skill. She could only fight with her Eighth Spirit Skill.

The enormous ghost threw a punch, firing a black beam several meters thick at the crimson tornado.

However, the instant the two collided, the beam was swiftly torn apart by the tornado. That terrifying power directly battered Hun Yue's Martial Soul Avatar into a tattered mess.

Whoosh!

The Blood Bat King Avatar charged straight at her like a streak of crimson lightning, smashing viciously into the Ghost True Body.

At once, the Ghost True Body exploded in midair. Hun Yue's body plummeted down and slammed into the ground, blasting out a huge crater.

"It's over!"

Seeing Hun Yue defeated, the many Spirit Hall Spirit Masters who witnessed the scene fell into despair.

Blood Spirit alone had already slaughtered them until they were in complete disarray.

Now that there was another unhindered Titled Douluo, they had even less hope of escaping alive.

Yet as Liu Xinghan watched this unfold, he was anxiously counting down in his heart.

Hurry up, just a little faster...

The Blood Bat King transformed from Blood Bat Venerable hovered in the air. Looking at Hun Yue, who was barely clinging to life in the crater, it laughed wildly. "Hahaha! A mighty Titled Douluo, and this king actually gets to feast on a Titled Douluo as blood food!"

"This time, this venerable one's Soul Power will surely undergo a tremendous breakthrough!"

Blood Bat Venerable was delighted.

Among Titled Douluo, even a single level of Soul Power could result in an enormous difference in strength. This was especially true between Level Ninety-Four and Level Ninety-Five.

Level Ninety-Four was still an ordinary Titled Douluo. However, Level Ninety-Five was called a Super Douluo.

The word "Super" alone was enough to prove the gap between Level Ninety-Four and Level Ninety-Five.

It was no exaggeration to say that a Super Douluo could utterly crush a Level Ninety-Four Titled Douluo.

That was the might of a Super Douluo.

Blood Bat Venerable had been stuck at Level Ninety-Four for a long time, but this time, he had hope of breaking through. As long as he devoured Hun Yue, this Titled Douluo, and absorbed her blood essence and Soul Power, he would definitely break through!

Then he, Blood Bat, could also be called a Super Douluo!

The enormous bloodsucking bat opened its jaws and dove down fiercely.

Hun Yue was already in such despair that she closed her eyes and waited for death.

Liu Xinghan stared intently.

Three!

Two!

One!

Boom!

At the critical moment, a fiery-red figure rapidly approached from the horizon.

This red was not the blood-soaked red of Blood Bat Venerable. It was red like flames—scorching and explosive.

A clear cry rang out.

A massive Fire Phoenix descended from the heavens, forcing Blood Bat Venerable back with a single strike.

When the Fire Phoenix came into view, Liu Xinghan froze.

According to the system's settings, as the host, he had a mental connection with the bodyguards he recruited.

The instant the Fire Phoenix appeared, he knew who his bodyguard was!

"It's actually her!"

Liu Xinghan was stunned.

A figure emerged from the Sea of Fire. At 1.8 meters tall, she was exceptionally tall and curvaceous. Her fitted red combat attire embroidered with golden patterns matched the flames surrounding her perfectly.

Her skin was fair, and her exquisite face did not appear delicate. Instead, her brows carried a heroic air. Her soft, smooth black hair was tied into a ponytail.

She was like a valkyrie amid the flames!

"Ma Xiaotao!"

Liu Xinghan swiftly pulled away from his opponent, staring blankly at the heroic figure in the sky.

That was right. The bodyguard he had recruited was none other than Ma Xiaotao from the second part of the original work.

Her Spirit was the Fire Phoenix, and her Soul Power was Level Ninety-Five. She was a genuine Super Douluo!

This was an outcome he had never expected.

He had considered many people, but Ma Xiaotao had never crossed his mind.

Ma Xiaotao did not have many appearances in the original work, nor did she have much presence. More importantly, she had not started out as a Titled Douluo.

As a result, he had not considered Ma Xiaotao at all.

Yet the person he had ultimately recruited was Ma Xiaotao.

Still, this bodyguard was quite good overall. Ma Xiaotao was beautiful and powerful. Though she was somewhat inferior to an expert of Dragon God Douluo Mu En's level, she was more than capable of resolving the current crisis.

Ma Xiaotao's sudden appearance brought the brutal battle here to a halt.

Both sides immediately pulled apart and watched each other warily. At the same time, their gazes all turned toward Ma Xiaotao as they wondered whether she was friend or foe.

Even Hun Yue, who had closed her eyes to await death, opened them.

"Who are you?"

Blood Bat Venerable watched the beautiful figure who had appeared so suddenly with vigilance.

Although she was young and beautiful, he could sense an intense aura of danger from her. His instincts told him that the woman in red before him was dangerous, so he raised his guard.

"An Evil Spirit Master?"

Ma Xiaotao's pleasant voice brimmed with chilliness.

Although she was a bodyguard recruited by the system, she was not a puppet who had lost everything.

On the contrary, her memories of her life remained completely intact. She even knew that she had traveled to Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the past.

She did not resist this at all. She readily accepted her transmigration and the task she was about to undertake.

This was the system's power!

It could directly alter a person's way of thinking.

Despite being a Titled Douluo, Ma Xiaotao had a humiliating memory she could not bear to recall: she had been controlled by Evil Spirit Masters for a long time.

Therefore, she hated Evil Spirit Masters deeply.

"Since you're an Evil Spirit Master, then go die!"

A powerful aura erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body.

The enormous phantom of a Fire Phoenix spread its wings behind her. Two Yellow, Two Purple, four black, and one red—nine spirit rings rose in succession.

When Blood Bat Venerable saw the final red Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, his face changed in fright.

"How is that possible?"

He was horrified.

As an Evil Spirit Master who had lurked on Douluo Continent for a long time, he was confident that he knew a great deal about the continent's Titled Douluo. Even the Seven Great Enshriners of Spirit Hall's deeply hidden Worship Hall were known to him.

Yet he did not recognize the woman in red before him.

He had never heard of a Titled Douluo on the continent with such a powerful Spirit as the Fire Phoenix. Even more terrifyingly, she possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring!

Publicly, only two people in all of Douluo Continent possessed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings.

One was Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, and the other was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.

"Damn it, where did this bitch come from?"

Blood Bat Venerable was going mad!
