�Chapter: Mother and Son Clash, Qian Renyu vs. Bibi Dong

Bibi Dong roared, anger erupting from her in an instant.

The moment her voice fell, she thrust the Pope's Scepter in her hand, wrapped in Soul Power, toward the wrist of the hand Qian Renyu had pressed against Hu Liena's face.

At the same time, a haze of purple poison swept toward Qian Renyu.

The poison could kill an ordinary person—or even a weaker Soul Master—in an instant. It sealed off every possible escape route around Qian Renyu.

"Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Restraint!"

After her roar, Bibi Dong shouted again.

As she charged forward, she spat a dark purple web toward Qian Renyu.

The web moved quickly, faster than the purple poison. The instant it neared Qian Renyu, it split into several smaller webs.

They bound his arms and legs tightly. The web that landed between his wrist and shoulder forcibly wrenched his hand away from Hu Liena's face.

Seizing the opportunity, Bibi Dong spun the Pope's Scepter that she had thrust at Qian Renyu's wrist. She swept past Hu Liena, grabbed her by the shoulder, and landed at the other end of the courtyard.

Freed from Qian Renyu's Five Finger Mountain grip, Hu Liena couldn't spare a thought for the poison cloud all around her. She gasped for air in great, greedy gulps.

She had nearly suffocated and come close to death. Now, Hu Liena looked utterly desperate for breath.

Bibi Dong channeled some of her Soul Power into a protective barrier around Hu Liena, keeping the Death Spider Emperor's poison from affecting her in the slightest.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for the trouble."

After catching her breath, some of the pallor drained from Hu Liena's face. She spoke to Bibi Dong, still shaken.

The words left Hu Liena feeling utterly humiliated.

She had lived in Spirit Hall for so many years, full of confidence. Today, she felt as though her intelligence had been ground into the dirt.

It had been a pretty good excuse, but she simply couldn't keep up with the new Pope Qian Renyu's playbook.

The humiliation remained, but the memory of Qian Renyu's mercilessness—the way he had been ready to crush her without hesitation—still left her trembling with fear.

Protected behind Bibi Dong, she looked at Qian Renyu over her teacher's shoulder, her eyes filled with far more terror than before.

Bibi Dong spared little thought for Hu Liena. Standing in front of her, she stared coldly at Qian Renyu.

"I'll handle things from here. Just stand to the side and watch!"

"Remember, you're not to do anything else without my permission!"

Bibi Dong scolded her coldly.

As she reprimanded Hu Liena, she kept her guard up and watched Qian Renyu.

Bibi Dong knew Qian Renyu's temperament well. The better she knew him, the less she dared let down her guard.

Bibi Dong was ready to risk everything. Whatever Qian Renyu might do, she had only one thought: no matter what happened, she had to protect Hu Liena. She couldn't let Hu Liena be killed right in front of her.

If Hu Liena died, Spirit Hall would no longer have a place for her.

Qian Renyu met Bibi Dong's murderous gaze as golden flames appeared in layer after layer across his body.

The Holy Radiant Flame burned away every strand of the Death Spider Emperor's web. It also incinerated much of the purple poison cloud surrounding him.

Standing within a circle of absolute safety, Qian Renyu said lightly, "Looks like you've decided to protect her at all costs."

"Since I took this position, you and I have never truly fought."

"In that case, let's see how far you'll go to protect her."

Qian Renyu's words carried an implication.

Bibi Dong had kept her true strength hidden. Though she had the power of a Titled Douluo, Qian Renyu had never considered her a real opponent.

But if Bibi Dong unleashed her full power, only Qian Daoliu could barely keep her in check in Spirit Hall—and even then, the outcome was uncertain.

After enduring for more than ten years, Qian Renyu wanted to see just how much of her concealed strength Bibi Dong could bring to bear.

Cold light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. She understood what Qian Renyu was hinting at, and her gaze turned even icier.

She believed in the saying: "Once roused, make a stunning impression."

Though she had the power to stand at the pinnacle of the continent, Bibi Dong had never truly revealed it.

Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to expose too many of her trump cards.

The more trump cards she kept in reserve, the more control she would have over the major plans she intended to carry out in the future.

And by keeping her strength hidden, she could more easily complete the Rakshasa God's Godhood Inheritance.

"Beneath the gods, all are ants."

Bibi Dong understood that principle very well from her inheritance.

But now that Qian Renyu had gone this far, she knew she couldn't keep hiding her strength.

"Nana, stand farther back!"

"I'm here today. Let's see what Qian Renyu can do to you!"

Bibi Dong gave a sharp command.

Her cool voice told Hu Liena to move away.

Hu Liena didn't dare argue again. She obediently headed toward the back of the courtyard.

The space between them was left entirely to Bibi Dong and Qian Renyu.

Seeing Bibi Dong's resolve, Qian Renyu understood what she intended to do. For the moment, he shifted his attention from Hu Liena to her.

Compared to Hu Liena, it was clearly more important to first find out what Bibi Dong was truly capable of.

Bibi Dong studied Qian Renyu as the phantom of the Death Spider Emperor appeared behind her.

The moment the fearsome phantom emerged, Bibi Dong's presence surged.

Yue Guan stood not far behind Qian Renyu. The instant he saw the phantom of the Death Spider Emperor appear, he couldn't help taking a step back, his face stricken with horror.

Bibi Dong noticed all of Yue Guan's reactions. She gave a cold snort inwardly as her surging Soul Power descended from above.

At the same time, nine Soul Rings of different colors appeared one after another.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

The instant the last, red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared, its red light swallowed the purple poison haze throughout the courtyard.

An incomparably terrifying aura engulfed the entire courtyard.

Even Yue Guan, a Titled Douluo, couldn't stop his legs from trembling. He retreated several more steps, instinctively unwilling to remain at the center of Bibi Dong's aura. The difference between them was simply too great.

Surrounded by her nine Soul Rings, Bibi Dong pointed the Pope's Scepter diagonally forward. One little spider after another emerged at her feet.

The moment they appeared, the little spiders scurried toward Qian Renyu at incredible speed.

Every little spider seethed with Bibi Dong's boundless fury. Hatred filled each of their many eyes.

Watching the swarm race toward Qian Renyu, Bibi Dong took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. Her resolve grew firmer.

"If we're going to fight today, then as Nana said, this is an opportunity."

"If I can subdue him here today, I can reclaim my former glory!"

"Let's see whether his strength is as unyielding as his words."

"Qian Renyu still has a lot to learn before he can deny me!"
