Were they no match for Bibi Dong?
Although she was the previous Saintess of Martial Soul Hall, her talent was indeed remarkable.
After succeeding to the position of Pope, she had used the resources of Martial Soul Hall to greatly improve herself over the years, her cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds.
But for these old veterans, without a formal fight, they weren't truly convinced of Bibi Dong's superiority.
However, since Qian Daoliu had spoken, they really couldn't say much more.
After all, this was the Qian family's private affair, and as outsiders, they had no place to interfere.
Palace of the Pope.
Looking at the content on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, Bibi Dong's expression shifted repeatedly, in the blink of an eye turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The secret she had hidden for so many years was being exposed before everyone like this?
"Damn it!"
"With such a stain on my past, how can I still command Martial Soul Hall, and use its power to destroy the continent and fulfill my long-cherished wish?"
"More importantly, once this news spreads, how will Xiao Gang see me?"
She gripped her scepter tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Faced with this situation, just as Bibi Dong was at a loss for how to handle it, and her subordinates were wavering in their loyalty—
"Bibi Dong, come out and see me!"
A voice like a thunderclap echoed through the Palace of the Pope, startling even Ghost Leopard and Chrysanthemum Ghost, making their bodies sway.
When she identified the source of the voice, Bibi Dong's eyes instantly turned cold.
Qian Daoliu!
That old bastard had come in person!
Ever since she had obtained the inheritance of the Rakshasa God and reached level 99 in soul power, there were very few people across the entire continent whom Bibi Dong considered her match.
Even though, due to the divine trials, she couldn't use her full power at the moment and could only exert the strength of levels 97-98, with her Twin Martial Souls and full set of soul bones, she believed her strength was definitely not inferior to an ordinary level 99 Limit Douluo.
But...
Level 99 was level 99, and the High Priest was the High Priest!
Facing Qian Daoliu, who could borrow the power of the Angel God at critical moments to briefly reach the demigod realm, Bibi Dong truly had no confidence in victory.
If it came to a real fight, it would only be a matter of time before Qian Daoliu killed her.
However...
Battles were never just on the battlefield; sometimes, the outcome could be decided outside of it!
With light steps that covered great distances, before Ghost Leopard and Chrysanthemum Ghost could react, Bibi Dong first walked out of the Palace of the Pope.
Then she soared into the air, stepping directly on the void to meet Qian Daoliu at eye level.
"Is what the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking says true? Was Ji'er's death back then really your doing?" Qian Daoliu demanded coldly.
Because of the generational bond, when it came to affection, Qian Xunji, whose talent and aptitude were relatively limited, couldn't compare to Qian Renxue in his heart.
But no matter what, he was still his old son!
His son was dead, and as a father, he had to seek justice for him!
"Hahaha!"
Unexpectedly, facing Qian Daoliu's interrogation, Bibi Dong didn't answer directly but instead retorted sharply.
"Qian Daoliu, you've lived so long, yet you're still the same hypocrite as ever!
What, is it only permissible for your son to harm me, but not for me to take revenge on him?
As descendants of the Angel God, upholders of justice—is this what the Qian family is really like?"
A gentleman can be deceived by righteousness!
Bibi Dong knew very well that Qian Daoliu was, in essence, an honest man.
Why, among the three Limit Douluo, did Qian Daoliu have the worst record, always giving the impression that he was the weakest?
The reason was simple.
As the Invincible of the Sky, he either fought Bo Saixi in the ocean or wrestled with Tang Chen on land.
For an expert of this level, a slight misstep meant a world of difference!
When he lost his home-field advantage, it would be a miracle if Qian Daoliu could win!
Knowing this, Bibi Dong understood that she couldn't beat Qian Daoliu in raw strength. To fight for a sliver of survival, she had to condemn him from a moral high ground.
Sure enough!
When he heard the words "Angel God" and "justice," the murderous aura around Qian Daoliu, who had been bristling with killing intent, dissipated somewhat.
Thinking it over carefully, Bibi Dong had planned to elope with Yu Xiaogang—she had indeed wronged the Martial Soul Hall.
But could Qian Xunji's actions back then really be called right?
It was precisely because of this concern back then, and his unwillingness to let Qian Renxue lose her mother, that Qian Daoliu had tacitly allowed Bibi Dong to become the Pope.
And today, it was the same old tactic, the same old result!
As a Slaughter God who had fought her way out of Slaughter City and mastered the Slaughter God's Domain, Bibi Dong's perception of killing intent was incredibly sharp.
The moment she sensed the killing intent wane, she took a step back to advance, saying, "Since you believe in the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, then no matter what I say, there's no way around it now.
Yes, I admit, I was wrong back then.
But ask yourself, setting aside the facts, weren't you wrong too?"
This punch pierces the stars!
Even people of later generations couldn't withstand it, let alone an honest man like Qian Daoliu, who was not good with words.
After that speech, before Qian Daoliu could question her further, he was already left speechless by Bibi Dong's verbal blow.
But since things had come to this, it no longer mattered.
With a flash of his eyes, as golden spirit power surged, an overwhelming aura erupted from Qian Daoliu.
Eight black, one red—nine rings flickered!
The pressure of a Level 99 Limit Douluo; someone like Bibi Dong, also a Limit Douluo, could barely withstand it.
But Ghost Leopard and Chrysanthemum Ghost and the others suddenly felt as if a great mountain had been placed on their backs. Not only did their knees involuntarily bend, but even breathing became difficult.
Supporting each other, unlike Bear Demon Douluo and Ghost Leopard, when Ghost Leopard and Chrysanthemum Ghost clasped hands, an invisible force surged from the two of them.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Two Poles Stillness Domain!
Two Level 95 Titled Douluo, combined with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill—only with such power could they barely stand under the pressure of a Limit Douluo.
Struggling to lift his head, looking up with considerable admiration at Qian Daoliu hanging high in the sky, Chrysanthemum Ghost murmured to himself, "As expected of a Limit Douluo—his bearing is truly unmatched!"
At the same time, since he had already decided to act, Qian Daoliu couldn't be bothered to waste words with her.
"Since it's come to this, more talk is useless!
I'll only use one move. Whether you can take it depends on your fate!
If you live, then so be it—everything that happened before is written off.
But if you can't take it, then you can only blame your own bad luck!"
"Arrogant!"
With a sharp cry, as spirit power surged around her, under Martial Soul Possession, Bibi Dong's body first became hideous.
Like a monster with a human face and a spider's body.
It was hard to imagine that as the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong would look like this when her Martial Soul possessed her.
Then, activating her Martial Soul True Body, Bibi Dong's body visibly grew larger.
"Just as I guessed—you've been hiding a lot.
But a firefly's light dares to compete with the bright moon!"
