Si Kongzhen Brutally Punishes Bibi Dong! The Pope in a Wretched State!

Purple light blazed from Bibi Dong's body. Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—nine Spirit Rings abruptly rose around her, radiating a terrifying pressure that made hearts quail.

Dark green armor covered her entire body, while eight sharp spears extended from her back like vicious spider legs, emanating the aura of death.

Number One Martial Soul, Death Spider Emperor!

At the same time, another emerald-green radiance bloomed from her body. Another set of nine Spirit Rings appeared, with the exact same configuration, except the red Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring was an even deeper shade.

Second Martial Soul, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!

Twin Martial Souls, eighteen Spirit Rings!

This was the foundation that allowed her, as the Pope of Spirit Hall, to stand at Continent's Peak!

Seeing her teacher reveal her full strength, Hu Liena's initially panicked heart settled, and worship rekindled in her eyes.

"Teacher is invincible!"

Bibi Dong floated in the air as the auras of her twin martial souls intertwined, forming a poisonous cloud woven from dark green and emerald green. She looked down at Si Kongzhen, her voice brimming with venomous resentment.

"A mere brute dares act so wildly before me!"

"Today, I'll show you what it means to be the strongest beneath the gods!"

"Third Spirit Skill, Spider Web Restraint!"

"Sixth Spirit Skill, Eternal Creation!"

The moment she attacked, she stacked two powerful Spirit Skills.

A colossal purple web that covered the heavens and earth appeared from nowhere, descending upon Si Kongzhen.

The enormous web carried deadly poison and an intense paralyzing effect, enough to leave any Titled Douluo unable to move.

Following close behind was a dark green beam of light filled with the aura of death.

Wherever the beam passed, space itself warped faintly. The energy within it ensured that, once struck, a wound would never heal!

Faced with an attack that would have left an ordinary Titled Douluo pale with fright, Si Kongzhen's expression did not change in the slightest.

He merely raised his eyelids, glanced at the web and light beam engulfing the sky, and spoke two words.

"Boring."

The instant his words fell, the five Thunder Drums behind him gave a violent shake!

"Boom!"

He had not used any Spirit Skill, only the power of his martial soul itself.

A visible golden lightning shockwave erupted from him and spread outward!

The seemingly indestructible purple spider web vanished the moment it touched the lightning shockwave.

Like ice and snow beneath a blazing sun, it melted away in an instant, leaving not even the slightest trace.

The dark green beam containing the laws of death was likewise scattered by the violent Thunder Power, turning into countless specks of light.

"What?!"

Bibi Dong's pupils abruptly contracted, her face filled with shock.

The two powerful Spirit Skills she took such pride in had been broken so effortlessly?

How was that possible?!

This had already surpassed her understanding of the Soul Master power system!

Before she could recover from her shock, Si Kongzhen had vanished from where he stood.

"Too slow."

A deep, powerful voice sounded beside her ear.

Alarm bells blared in Bibi Dong's mind, and every hair on her body stood on end. Without thinking, the eight spider spears behind her shot toward the source of the voice like the sharpest lances!

Yet it was all futile.

A fist larger than her head, wrapped in surging golden lightning, struck after her attack but arrived first, smashing heavily into her abdomen.

"Bang!"

A dull, thunderous impact rang out.

The dark green armor on Bibi Dong's body instantly filled with cracks before exploding apart.

She flew backward like a cannonball, a mouthful of blood drawing a tragic arc through the air.

"Teacher!"

Hu Liena cried out, her face turning deathly pale.

Si Kongzhen appeared once more along Bibi Dong's flight path. Spreading his fingers, he grabbed her by the hair and forcibly yanked her to a stop in midair.

"You... you dare..."

Blood seeped from Bibi Dong's lips, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and rage. Just as she was about to say something, Si Kongzhen had already run out of patience.

"Noisy woman."

With a sweep of his arm, he hurled Bibi Dong toward the ground as though tossing away trash.

"Boom—!"

The earth cracked and dust flew everywhere as a massive human-shaped crater appeared atop the mountain.

Si Kongzhen slowly descended, standing at the edge of the crater and looking down at Bibi Dong at its bottom with indifferent eyes.

"Godly Skill: Thunderous Might."

He slowly raised his hand, his palm aimed at the bottom of the crater.

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed. The clouds overhead churned under an invisible force, forming a massive vortex of thunderclouds.

Golden lightning flashed through the clouds, releasing deafening roars.

An aura of destruction shrouded the entire world.

At the bottom of the crater, Bibi Dong struggled to rise. When she sensed the power overhead, enough to scatter her soul, terror finally appeared on her face.

"No... Stop!!"

She screamed in panic.

Si Kongzhen remained expressionless as he abruptly swung his arm down.

"Crash!"

A golden pillar of lightning thicker than a mountain descended from the heavens, striking Bibi Dong with flawless precision.

"Aaaahhh—!"

A shriek so piercing it barely sounded human echoed through the sky, only to be swallowed in an instant by the violent thunder.

The golden light was blinding, and everyone instinctively shut their eyes.

Hu Liena saw only a vast whiteness before her. All she could hear was the crackling of lightning and the destructive aura that made even her soul tremble.

After an unknown amount of time, the light faded.

The mountain peak had vanished, replaced by a bottomless crater. Its walls were smooth as mirrors, still bearing traces of melting and dancing arcs of electricity.

At the very center of the crater lay a charred human figure, smoke rising from her body as she occasionally twitched.

It was Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall.

At that moment, she no longer possessed even a shred of a pope's dignity.

Her hair stood on end, black as charcoal. Her face and body were covered in electrical burns, her mouth slightly open as a trail of white foam slowly flowed from the corner of her lips.

Her entire body was paralyzed. She did not even have the strength to move a finger; only her eyes could still turn, filled with endless terror and confusion.

Si Kongzhen slowly landed beside her, looking at her as if she were an ant.

"By Your Majesty's command, I have taught the Ungrateful and Unjust a lesson."

"Remember, this is Great Tang, not a place where you can run wild."

After saying that, he did not spare Bibi Dong another glance. He turned and shot into the sky, transforming into a streak of lightning that vanished beyond the horizon.

Great Tang Empire, Chang'an City, before the imperial palace gates.

Qian Yu, Gongsun Li, and Qian Renxue had just arrived.

The three of them raised their heads in unspoken unison and looked toward the Heavenly Screen hanging high above the nine heavens.

When Qian Renxue saw the contents of the ranking, astonishment appeared on her usually calm and beautiful face for the first time.

"Five Thunder Drum?"

She softly repeated the unfamiliar name, her delicate brows knitting slightly.

"What kind of martial soul is this? Why have I never heard of it? How could it possibly rank twelfth?"
