Chrysanthemum and Ghost's Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Seeing the thick fog, like a giant bowl that seemed to envelop the entire Soul Fighting Arena, finally take shape.

Bibi Dong stood atop the high platform, her expression furious and exceptionally ugly.

The next moment, she drove the scepter symbolizing the Pope's status fiercely into the ground.

The tremendous force instantly shattered the blue-brick and glazed-tile pavement into cracks.

Then, amid the clamor of the crowd below, a voice filled with majesty rang through more than half of Spirit City.

"Assassins dare attack my honored guest within Spirit City? They truly have no regard for Spirit Hall!"

"Elders, follow me and slaughter these thieves. Protect Tower Master Qin's successful breakthrough!"

"Yes!"

At Bibi Dong's command, the six people behind her all revealed looks of long-awaited anticipation.

Chrysanthemum Douluo gave a wicked smile, licked his lips, and, together with Ghost Douluo, transformed into two afterimages that shot out first, heading straight for the already-locked-on Shi Nian.

The others refused to fall behind as well, charging into the thick fog under Bibi Dong's lead.

"Huh? Why did they all go in? Aren't there only three Soul Douluo?"

"Those few assassins might have already been dealt with by Can Meng Douluo. Did all seven Titled Douluo really need to go?"

"How can you be so stupid? Those assassins trampled on Spirit Hall's dignity and have completely enraged His Holiness the Pope."

"His Holiness probably doesn't want them to die so easily. She must be planning to capture them alive, then torture them slowly in public."

"What a shame. The fog blocks everything; we can't see a thing."

"Come to think of it, haven't you noticed that this fog... seems to have appeared rather strangely?"

"..."

Among the crowd, there were naturally some who saw through part of the situation, but they were ultimately few in number.

Moreover, wary of Spirit Hall's power and seeing no one around them agree, they did not dare dwell on it any further.

Yet within the dense fog, Shi Nian seemed utterly unhurried as he calmly faced the group.

"Spirit Hall's six elders and Pope Bibi Dong. It seems everyone has arrived."

"Hmph! So you already guessed we would do this. I'm curious—does your Tower Lord truly feel so at ease?"

Bibi Dong was not particularly surprised. Instead, she seized the opportunity to ask the question in her heart, attempting to probe whether Qin Shiyuan had other hidden cards.

"Do you think you alone can stop the seven of us?"

"To be honest, your ability is indeed troublesome, but we have already found a way to break it."

"With only you here, Qin Jianjiu will likely die today."

As Bibi Dong spoke, her sharp eyes remained fixed on Shi Nian's face, as if she wished to catch every slightest change.

However, the result disappointed her.

Shi Nian seemed entirely unconcerned about Qin Shiyuan's life or death. Not the slightest emotion changed on his face.

"Tsk. The mighty Pope of Spirit Hall is already a Titled Douluo, yet you're still playing such childish tricks?"

Shi Nian sneered, mercilessly exposing Bibi Dong's purpose.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong did not become angry. Seeing that the tactic was useless, she had no intention of wasting any more time.

"I'll give you one last chance. Are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"

"If you are, you will become Spirit Hall's tenth elder today."

"If you refuse... I'm afraid you'll have to stay here with your Tower Master Qin today!"

As she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

It was as though the moment Shi Nian spoke the word no, she would strike immediately.

Yet Shi Nian seemed not to care about Bibi Dong's words in the slightest.

He stood quietly where he was without speaking, as though calculating something.

"Can Meng Douluo, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit—"

Seeing this, Bibi Dong's tone instantly turned cold.

However, before she could finish, Shi Nian suddenly snapped his fingers, interrupting her with an inexplicable remark.

"Good. The timing is just right."

Without giving them time to think, Shi Nian directly extended his palm toward the seven of them.

His Martial Soul lit up, and the words left his mouth without warning.

"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Ninth Spirit Ability, Soul Disturbance Illusion Domain!"

The seventh and ninth Spirit Rings behind Shi Nian lit up simultaneously.

A gray, hazy substance instantly blanketed the entire area. The Spirit Ability that had previously controlled the Clear Sky Douluo was unleashed by Shi Nian once more.

In an instant, an utterly irresistible force seemed poised to drag everyone's consciousness into an illusion.

"Damn it! Your Holiness, get out of here! Gui Mei and I have to use that move!"

Just as the light in the seven people's pupils gradually faded, and right before they lost consciousness and became puppets on strings.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Guan Yue gritted his teeth and used Soul Power to send Bibi Dong and the other four beyond the range of Shi Nian's Spirit Ability.

At the same time, the two stiff figures finally relied on their last sliver of strength to gently embrace each other.

Faint voices struggled out from their mouths.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Two Extremes Forbidden Domain!"

The moment the words left their mouths, an incomparably dazzling radiance spread outward from their bodies.

Another strange force surged forth like a spring.

This force seemed capable of freezing time and space, causing even the Soul Power Shi Nian had released around them to gradually slow.

After merely a few seconds, everything around them became completely still, as though time itself had stopped.

Shi Nian was naturally no exception.

"Damn it!"

Bibi Dong cursed under her breath as soon as she awakened. Even though she had anticipated it mentally.

She still had not expected Shi Nian's ability to be so impossible to guard against.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill she had intended as their final resort had unexpectedly been used right at the start.

"Your Holiness, should we go back and kill Shi Nian first?"

"His ability is simply too terrifying. If we don't kill him, then in the future..."

"Didn't you notice that his Spirit Ability hasn't dissipated yet?"

Bibi Dong cursed the others' stupidity inwardly. Without the slightest hesitation, she headed directly toward the very center of the fog.

"Kill Qin Jianjiu first. Once he dies, no one will be able to escape!"
