Encirclement

"Stop spouting nonsense here!" Bibi Dong shouted angrily.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red—nine Soul Rings appeared at once, and a terrifying pressure of Soul Power bore down on Bai Yuan.

At the same time, Bibi Dong's body began to change. A layer of purplish-black armor emerged over the skin of her upper body.

Her face was covered by a carapace, and four smaller eyes grew beneath her original pair.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong's long legs vanished, her lower body completely transforming into that of a spider. She looked savage and terrifying.

Hardly anyone in the world knew about what had happened between her and Qian Xunji, and she had no desire for anyone to make it public.

As for the Rakshasa God inheritance, Bibi Dong wanted even less for anyone to know about it, for it concerned her great plan for revenge.

Thus, Bibi Dong immediately developed the intent to kill, determined to slay Bai Yuan here and now, even if he revealed everything.

Because if she hesitated and clearly appeared to be under threat, it would prove that Bai Yuan's words were true.

But if she attacked without hesitation, then even if Bai Yuan exposed it, few in the world would believe him.

"Fuck!" Bai Yuan's expression changed drastically. He had intended to make Bibi Dong afraid to attack, but instead, he had only strengthened her resolve to kill him.

The third purple Soul Ring around Bibi Dong lit up.

Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Bind!

A dark-purple spiderweb shot forth, carrying purple poison gas as it descended upon Bai Yuan.

The web was not large at first, but it seemed to expand with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it had covered an area of a thousand meters.

Although Bibi Dong's third Soul Ring was only a thousand-year ring, the strength of the web produced by this skill depended on the user's own power.

Sword Douluo gripped the sword in his hand tightly. The moment he saw Bai Yuan show even the slightest sign of being unable to withstand it, he would strike without hesitation and cut him down with a single blow!

The pungent stench entered Bai Yuan's nostrils, while the massive web sealed off every route of escape.

Yet Bai Yuan remained utterly fearless. After swallowing a Spirit Recovery Pill, he raised the Five Elements Array Disk high. A massive fireball over ten meters in diameter enveloped him.

As the spiderweb collided with the fireball, it produced a series of popping sounds. Both sides rapidly dissipated.

In the end, however, Bibi Dong still had the upper hand. Part of the web remained and continued rushing toward Bai Yuan.

At that instant, Sword Douluo Chen Xin also made his move. The Seven Kill Domain opened, and Bai Yuan immediately felt an indescribably immense pressure.

At the same time, Sword Douluo's ninth Soul Ring lit up. His figure turned ethereal and fused with the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, while his remaining eight Soul Rings merged into the Seven Kill Sword as well.

Bibi Dong did not hesitate upon seeing this.

Seventh Soul Skill, Death Spider Emperor True Body!

As the seventh Soul Ring shone, Bibi Dong completely transformed into a gigantic Death Spider Emperor.

But it was not over yet. The eighth Soul Ring around the Death Spider Emperor that Bibi Dong had become suddenly lit up.

Eighth Soul Skill, Spider Emperor Clone!

At once, another identical Death Spider Emperor appeared out of thin air, except it possessed only seven Soul Rings.

The Seven Kill Sword formed by Sword Douluo shot straight at Bai Yuan. Terrifying Sword Qi and killing intent raged through heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to tremble beneath that strike. Cracks even appeared in many places from the Sword Qi that leaked outward.

With that sword aimed directly at him, Bai Yuan felt as though the blood throughout his body had frozen. The terrifying pressure made even moving a finger extremely difficult.

Yet Bai Yuan forcibly overcame that sensation through sheer willpower. His hands left the Five Elements Array Disk, allowing it to float in midair, while afterimages appeared around his hands.

Five Elements Primordial Chaos Array, Five Elements Separation!

In an instant, the remaining half of the spiderweb rushing toward Bai Yuan vanished into thin air, as though it had never existed.

The giant sword formed by Sword Douluo Chen Xin stabbed toward him at that moment as well. Its terrifying speed and Sword Qi tore apart the space along its path.

It left behind a pitch-black, lightless rift in midair.

Yet such a dominant strike stopped one meter from Bai Yuan, as if time itself had frozen.

What was even more astonishing was that, upon closer inspection, countless tiny particles could be seen drifting off around the Seven Kill Sword. It was gradually being broken down!

The two gigantic Death Spider Emperors also launched their attacks at this moment. Their sixteen spider legs ran through the void as though they were walking on solid ground.

They moved so quickly that it seemed like Teleportation, leaving onlookers dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Bai Yuan's sides.

Sixth Soul Skill, Blood Sucking Spider Thorn!

The front legs of both Death Spider Emperors were coated in a layer of blood-red light, transforming into crimson spears that stabbed directly toward Bai Yuan.

"Bang!"

Bibi Dong's attack was stopped once more, though it was only half a meter away from Bai Yuan. Layers of ripples emerged at the tips of the four crimson spears.

It was as though an invisible wall stood there.

"How is that possible?!" Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bibi Dong cried out at the same time, their voices filled with disbelief.

Based on the information they had received earlier, they had been almost certain that Bai Yuan was not strong. Otherwise, he would not have needed to use Ning Rongrong as a hostage.

Yet at this moment, the power Bai Yuan displayed completely overturned Bibi Dong and Jian Chenxin's understanding.

"Your Eminence the Pope, we've come to assist you!"

Bai Yuan swallowed another pill and looked up, only to see Flower Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei arriving together.

Without any hesitation, both used their Seventh Soul Skills and Ninth Soul Skills.

Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar.

Ninth Soul Skill, Infinite Ghost Shadow Devour!

Ghost Douluo transformed into a ghost. A Black Hole appeared above Bai Yuan out of thin air, and countless ghosts rushed out from within it. Ghost Douluo was mixed among them as they charged toward Bai Yuan.

Flower Douluo Yue Guan also underwent a change.

He transformed into a massive Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and then the immortal medicinal herb instantly shattered.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Withered Chrysanthemum, Wounds Across the Ground, Blossoms Fall and Hearts Break."

As the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum split apart, every petal spun like a crescent blade, forming a massive Golden Tornado.

Bai Yuan's expression became incomparably grim.

But at that moment, twenty-four streams of light flew over from the horizon.

"Seven Treasures Have Names, first: Strength."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, second: Speed."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, third: Soul."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, fourth: Defense."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, fifth: Attack."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, sixth: Augmentation."

Ning Fengzhi's seven-ring Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda increased all attributes by eighty percent, nearly doubling the strength of the four people present.

Bai Yuan immediately felt the pressure multiply.

The number of particles drifting off the Seven Kill Sword rapidly decreased, and it began to slowly advance until it reached Bai Yuan's brow.

The two Death Spider Emperors were the same. To their enormous bodies, the distance of less than half a meter seemed as though they could tear him apart the very next moment.

Ghost Douluo's Ninth Soul Skill above became even more terrifying. In the distance, the shattered Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum formed a Golden Tornado whose power had nearly doubled. Wherever it passed, the earth was ruined and not a blade of grass remained.

A ruthless glint flashed through Bai Yuan's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out ten Spirit Recovery Pills and swallowed them in one mouthful like candy.
