Infighting
The mysterious man was startled, and his vast will instantly contracted, about to disappear into a deeper spatial rift.
But it was still too slow.
············································
High in the sky, Li Bai, who had just repelled the Clear Sky Hammer with a single sword strike, casually picked up the wine gourd at his waist, tilted his head back, and gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor, his Adam's apple bobbing.
As he put down the wine jug, he turned his head slightly, his silver hair cascading like a waterfall and swaying gently in the wind. His handsome face bore a hint of languid, slightly flushed hue from the wine, but his eyes were as clear as a cold pool and as sharp as a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, precisely targeting the mysterious man's location.
There were no words, no anger, and not even much murderous intent.
It was just a bland, almost indifferent, exchange of glances.
Then--
Li Bai's wrist, holding the sword, flicked lightly with utmost casualness.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Thousands of lotus-shaped sword intent phantoms appeared out of thin air, instantly filling the sky!
They were densely packed and dazzling, like a reversed galaxy, shooting indiscriminately and comprehensively towards the mountain peak tens of meters high where the mysterious man had just been!
Each sword shadow contained terrifying power capable of piercing through metal and stone, shattering illusions, and annihilating energy. It was so fast that it tore through the air and emitted a shrill shriek.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deafening, continuous explosions were earth-shattering!
Under the baptism of this pure sword intent, the mountain peaks in that area collapsed, disintegrated, and shattered instantly, like soft tofu!
Boulders turned to dust, trees to ashes, and smoke and dust rose into the sky like mushroom clouds, obscuring half the sky!
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, all that remained was a huge crater, over a hundred meters in diameter and tens of meters deep, covered with crisscrossing, bottomless sword marks!
The pit was empty except for rubble and dust.
Li Bai withdrew his gaze from the deep pit, as if he had merely brushed away an annoying but insignificant flying insect that had tried to bite him.
He turned his attention back to Tang San, who was struggling to get up and barely breathing, and Oscar, who was terrified and frantically trying to escape with Tang San.
He raised the gourd again, tilted his head back, and leisurely took a swig. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, bringing a warm sensation.
Then, a carefree and unrestrained smile appeared on his lips.
"It's time to wrap this up."
Before he finished speaking, the longsword in his hand hummed softly.
······································
"Tang San --!!!"
A piercing scream, filled with boundless resentment and almost tearing at the eardrums, suddenly erupted from the entrance of the valley!
A dark purple streak, carrying an aura of suffocating depravity and madness, rushed into the battlefield!
Wherever it passed, it left behind hissing, corrosive marks in the air, and vegetation withered and died instantly.
It was Bibi Dong!
Her eyes seemed to see only that disheveled figure, coughing up blood— Tang San!
Her deep-seated hatred consumed all reason, causing her to completely ignore the terrifying sword intent and nine-colored divine light that permeated the surroundings, as well as the white-robed sword immortal standing in mid-air.
In her world, there is only Tang San!
"Roar--!"
With a piercing scream, Bibi Dong's purplish-black robes exploded!
Her body began to undergo a terrifying transformation—her lower body instantly transformed into a beast, swelling into a gigantic spider abdomen covered in a purplish-black carapace and dripping with corrosive slime, with a constantly writhing spinneret attached to its tail, thick white spider silk poised to be unleashed.
At the same time, eight grotesque, sharp spider legs covered in barbs sprang out from under her ribs, replacing her legs to support her body.
Behind him, eight even thicker Eight Spider Lances, gleaming with dark purple poisonous light, burst forth from his body, ferocious and terrifying!
In the blink of an eye, the beautiful woman, who had a gloomy demeanor but still retained a human form, had completely transformed into a dark monster girl exuding overwhelming evil and a destructive desire!
The enormous spider's abdomen undulated slightly, and a viscous, corrosive liquid dripped continuously, "drip, drip," hitting the ground and immediately corroding the hard rock into pits of varying sizes, from which wisps of smoke rose.
This unexpected arrival instantly drew everyone's attention.
Ning Rongrong subconsciously took a half step back, momentarily regarding Bibi Dong as an enemy. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone even brighter, ready to provide support for Li Bai at any moment.
When Tang San saw who it was, especially the eight familiar yet more ferocious Spider Spear behind her, his already pale face turned even more ashen, and his eyes erupted with a deep-seated ruthlessness and killing intent!
"Bibi Dong... you persistent, despicable ghost!" he gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly.
However, despite his rage, Tang San's remaining rationality was frantically alerting the police.
Having just clashed head-on with Li Bai, his Martial Soul Avatar injured, his Soul Power was disordered, and his internal organs were severely damaged. In addition, he was also suffering from poison and the injury from repairing the peeled-off External Soul Bone. At this moment, he was only one-tenth of his original strength.
To confront Bibi Dong head-on, who was clearly at her peak and even more frenzied due to hatred, would be tantamount to suicide.
In a flash, Tang San made the choice that best suited his current situation—to temporarily avoid the limelight and launch a sneak attack!
He endured the excruciating pain, and as he retreated, several barely perceptible glints of cold light were already between his fingers.
At the same time, a wisp of dark purple mutated Dark Blue Silver Grass secretly condensed in his left palm, waiting for the right moment to strike.
······································
However, Bibi Dong suffered greatly from Tang San's numerous attempts to escape during the pursuit, including using tricks, Hidden Weapon, and various helpers.
Therefore, she was extremely ruthless this time!
She knew perfectly well that when dealing with an enemy like Tang San, she could not give him any breathing room or any chance to use his schemes; she had to kill him instantly with absolute power!
"Soul-Eater Spider Emperor! Eighth Soul Skill - Dream of Life and Death!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Bibi Dong's enormous spider demon form erupted with a dazzling purplish-black light!
A massive, semi-transparent, purplish-black energy shield, swirling with a mesmerizing aura and deathly gray mist, suddenly expanded from her center, instantly enveloping the heavily injured Tang San and the surrounding space within a radius of tens of meters!
This is precisely the ultimate control Soul Skill of her Soul-Eater Spider Emperor Martial Soul — Life and Death Share One Dream!
This is not just a powerful control Soul Skill. Within the protective shield it forms, the rules will be partially distorted, and the attributes of those trapped within will be continuously suppressed and stripped away, while Bibi Dong's own power will be amplified.
In terms of effectiveness, it is extremely close to the power of the field!
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted!
He was all too familiar with this Soul Skill!
In his past life, this move had even briefly knocked the Sea God's Trident from his hand!
Given his current state of severe injury, weakness, and disordered Soul Power, being trapped would almost certainly mean certain death!
He desperately channeled his Soul Power, attempting to use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track or summon Dark Blue Silver Grass to defend himself, but it was all too late.
"Shuashuashua--!"
Inside the energy shield, countless thick, tough white spiderwebs appeared out of thin air, instantly binding Tang San tightly from head to toe, inside and out!
In his current state, there's no way he could break free from this powerful restraint, which is comparable to a domain!
Seeing Tang San fall into absolute control, Bibi Dong's ferocious spider face revealed a savage smile. The eight Rakshasa Spider Lances behind her shone brightly with purple light, aiming at Tang San, who was hanging in mid-air by the spider web and unable to move, and thrusting down with all her might, wanting to suck him into a dried corpse!
At this critical moment—
Mutation and Regeneration!
The mysterious man, who had just been frightened away by Li Bai's sword intent and seemed to have fled, strangely reappeared less than three feet away from Ning Rongrong!
A hand, as if reaching out from the void, silently yet swiftly grabbed at Ning Rongrong!
It had never gone far; instead, it used Tang San to distract him and launched this sneak attack!
However, it still underestimated Li Bai's perception and sword speed.
Just a hair's breadth away from the shadowy hand touching Ning Rongrong's hair—
"Clang!"
A clear, resonant sword cry, so sharp it could pierce the eardrums, rang out!
Before Li Bai could make a move, a slender, sharp sword light, refined to the extreme and seemingly capable of cutting through light, arrived first and slashed precisely across the shadowy figure's wrist.
"Laugh--"
The hand was severed at the wrist, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.
Immediately afterward, before the mysterious man could escape, Li Bai flicked his wrist slightly.
"Puff!"
A three-foot-long sword, formed entirely from pure sword intent and as clear as jade, pierced through the chest of the mysterious figure, pinning him firmly to the ground!
The sword trembled, emitting a soft buzzing sound, as countless tiny sword energies raged within the shadowy figure, preventing it from using its abilities to escape.
··············
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong's Eight Spider Lances, accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air, pierced fiercely into Tang San's body, who was Spider Web Restraint!
Chapter 310 Internal Strife
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!..."
The Eight Spider Lances, with their ferocious appearance and bone spurs, were now piercing through Tang San's flesh, one after another!
The continuous life force was devoured by the Eight Spider Lances and entered Bibi Dong's body.
The intense pain caused Tang San's entire body to convulse, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He could clearly feel that his life force, Soul Power, and even the very essence of his soul were being frantically drained and plundered through those eight Spider Spear, like a flood bursting its banks!
Consciousness began to blur, and vision became stained with blood.
Tang San struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, and in his field of vision were Bibi Dong Dong's purple eyes, filled with resentment and a desire for destruction.
Am I going to die?
Die at the hands of this madwoman?
How could that be? I am Tang San, the God King!
