Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter: Throne Imprint, Qian Renyu's Counterattack

Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter: Throne Imprint, Qian Renyu's Counterattack

Qian Renyu remained composed.

He calmly watched the little spiders rushing toward him at high speed.

He glanced at Bibi Dong, a faint smile on his lips. He was a little surprised that she had not only decided to attack, but had even used a Soul Skill from her Second Martial Soul.

The little spiders carpeting the ground were clearly the third Soul Skill of Bibi Dong's Second Martial Soul, the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor: Demon Spider Summoning.

The little spiders, condensed from the death energy underground, looked as though they were there to scout. In reality, once they drew close to a target, they could all detonate themselves.

Anyone facing a Soul Skill like this would be caught off guard. It was even possible to die beneath its assault.

Qian Renyu paid it no mind. Even if Bibi Dong went all out, she might not be able to take him down for certain, let alone with just the third Soul Skill of her Second Martial Soul.

Brilliant golden light enveloped Qian Renyu. A touch of orange-red flickered within it, dispelling all the pressure brought by Bibi Dong's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring in the courtyard.

When the dazzling light faded, golden armor and a longsword appeared in his hands.

The Sword of Doom and Slaughter. The Armor of Doom and Slaughter.

The two divine artifacts complemented each other, and Qian Renyu's aura surged. A radiant field of energy formed around him.

As the little spiders summoned by Demon Spider Summoning entered his field, they began to swell. The ones that had started out no bigger than fists quickly grew to half a meter in diameter.

Dense death energy radiated from their bodies, and the hatred in their compound eyes reached its breaking point.

Boom, boom, boom—

Without any visible movement or attack, a string of explosions suddenly rang out.

The swollen little spiders all began detonating.

After each spider blew itself up, its heavy death energy swept toward Qian Renyu.

The oppressive, suffocating death energy seemed intent on devouring him completely.

"Bibi Dong, is that all you've got?"

"With tricks like these, I can't see how you intend to protect Hu Liena!"

Qian Renyu's voice drifted lightly out of the death energy. Streaks of orange-red sword light cut through it.

The next moment, Qian Renyu burst out of the dark green haze, the Armor of Doom and Slaughter still gleaming brightly.

The Sword of Doom and Slaughter blazed with light as well, its orange-red sword glow accompanied by an unparalleled aura of slaughter.

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly. As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, she was especially sensitive to the aura of slaughter.

She narrowed her eyes at the Sword of Doom and Slaughter in Qian Renyu's hand and couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang—

Bibi Dong forced down her shock.

Without pausing to think, she stepped forward.

At the same time, all nine Soul Rings around her released tremendous pressure. The sixth, a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, lit up at once.

Behind her, hook-shaped poison spikes emerged from thin air, one after another.

Each spike shone with an eerie light.

"Go!"

Bibi Dong gave a sharp cry.

More than ten thousand spikes behind her rained down on Qian Renyu like a storm.

Each one seemed ready to pierce him through, as if Bibi Dong wanted to turn him into a sieve.

"Your Holiness has gone mad!"

"How could she use that move on one of our own?!"

Yue Guan took another large step back.

He had once followed Bibi Dong to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Though more than ten years had passed, Yue Guan still remembered how terrifying that move was.

The sixth Soul Skill of her First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor: Blood-Sucking Spider Spikes.

More than ten thousand Blood-Sucking Spider Spikes coated in the Death Spider Emperor's poison could mercilessly cripple an opponent. They could also drain their blood and use it to replenish Bibi Dong's energy.

Using such a move meant she had no intention of holding back.

Yue Guan watched Qian Renyu with a nervous, fearful gaze.

The former and current Popes fighting here was no joke.

Hu Liena watched Bibi Dong launch a forceful attack on Qian Renyu. Though she had retreated far away, she remained mired in the deathly pressure Qian Renyu had brought upon her.

Even so, she couldn't help clenching her fists, silently cheering: Teacher, you can do it! He can't possibly be your match!

Qian Renyu took in both Yue Guan's and Hu Liena's reactions as the Blood-Sucking Spider Spikes surged toward him from all directions.

His expression showed not the slightest hint of fear. He remained as calm as ever.

The orange-red light split into ten thousand streaks, each meeting one of the Death Spider Emperor's poison spikes.

The Throne's Light of Judgment, powerful enough to melt away all darkness, dissolved the Death Spider Emperor's spikes one by one.

Only a small number slipped through and shot toward the Armor of Doom and Slaughter.

Qian Renyu couldn't be bothered to deal with the few stragglers. He let them strike the Armor of Doom and Slaughter.

Not one spike could pierce its defenses. They only produced a series of crisp chinks.

"Just as I thought. It really is a divine artifact!"

"Where on earth did Qian Renyu get that armor? And he has two divine artifacts at once!"

Bibi Dong was horrified.

Her Blood-Sucking Spider Spikes had achieved nothing.

They hadn't even managed to pierce the Armor of Doom and Slaughter.

Shock surged through her like a raging tide.

"Looks like I'll have to get serious!"

"That armor has powerful defenses. Let's see if it can hold up against my Eternal Wound!"

Bibi Dong forced down her shock.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. She stamped lightly on the ground and shot toward Qian Renyu, leaving an afterimage behind.

At the same time, the two emerald-green scythes rose together and slashed diagonally, crossing to form a massive green X-shaped ripple.

Watching Bibi Dong adapt to the situation, Qian Renyu's lips curved into a faint smile. He said softly, "You've even used the Soul Skills of your Second Martial Soul. It seems your resolve has grown stronger."

"But if we're going to fight, there's no reason for you to be the only one attacking while I just defend."

With that, Qian Renyu rose into the air.

He didn't meet Bibi Dong's Eternal Wound head-on. Hovering above the ground, he suddenly unleashed his aura.

One after another, afterimages seemed to stroll through the void.

They weren't created by Qian Renyu, yet he felt no unfamiliarity toward them.

After the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter became his Martial Soul, the abilities of its former owner had been imprinted upon it.

From the moment he awakened this Martial Soul, Qian Renyu had known the Throne could imprint such abilities.

Now—

This was the first time he had truly unleashed the power of the skills imprinted upon the Throne.

Bibi Dong's forward rush came to an abrupt halt. A powerful sense of danger suddenly washed over her. Forgetting her attack on Qian Renyu, she instinctively retreated to a safe distance.

Qian Renyu paid no heed to Bibi Dong's retreat. He raised the Sword of Doom and Slaughter and absorbed every afterimage wandering through the void.

The next moment, orange-red sword light burst from the blade.

Standing above Shuangtian, Qian Renyu didn't direct the Sword of Doom and Slaughter at Bibi Dong. Instead, he drew an eerily vivid red circle in the courtyard.

Bibi Dong watched the red circle warily. But before she could react, Qian Renyu's soft voice rang out:

"Throne Imprint, Battle Kill: Circular Sword!"
