Absolute Power Suppression

"Human, you are presumptuous!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python let out an angry roar, and cyan flames immediately flickered in its lantern-sized eyes.

Its hundred-zhang body danced in the water, whipping up massive waves.

The scales rubbed against one another, emitting a series of "clack," "clack," "clack" sounds.

A terrifying aura was released from its body, and under its powerful presence, the surrounding air became extremely oppressive. The life energy within the Lake of Life was extracted from the water, constantly gathering toward it and rotating around its body to form a vortex of life.

The Sky Azure Bull Python opened its bovine mouth and let out a massive bellow.

"BOOM~!"

The sound was like a cannon, carrying an overwhelming and terrifying force as it crushed toward Chu Feng, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo standing before it.

Although the Sky Azure Bull Python had not used its full strength in this roar.

Yet, if an ordinary Title Douluo were to be hit by this roar carelessly, they would be directly severely injured.

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not dare to be negligent for even a moment, immediately activating their Martial Soul Possession.

They used Martial Soul Possession to counteract this force.

In the distance, on the branch of a lush tree, the dense leaves formed a shadow.

A beautiful figure stood within the shadow, an evil aura emanating from her body.

Faint dark purple light flickered in her eyes as she stared straight in the direction of the Lake of Life.

Her gaze landed on the python-bodied, bull-headed soul beast, and seeing it suddenly erupt with the might of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its massive body churning the Lake of Life, her pupils deepened.

Her fair, smooth brow furrowed slightly.

Watching the enraged and frenzied Sky Azure Bull Python, she parted her lips slightly and muttered to herself.

"What on earth did he say to make the usually mild-tempered Sky Azure Bull Python go to such lengths!?"

"This is for the best, though. If the Sky Azure Bull Python flies into a rage and kills him, that will be an explanation I can easily give to those old fogies."

"Even if those old fogies come to hold me accountable, it will have absolutely nothing to do with me."

"However, this is also a perfect opportunity to take a good look at the strength of the Sky Azure Bull Python."

"Let's see just how strong this Forest Emperor really is. If not for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, what are my chances of taking it down?"

The mysterious woman in the shadows was none other than Bibi Dong, who had sworn to kill Chu Feng.

Ever since Chu Feng left the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong had been wanting to kill him.

Therefore, she had hidden her aura, secretly following him and the others as they left Martial Soul City and arrived at this Star Dou Forest.

Because the perception of soul beasts is astonishing, there was a risk of being discovered if she got too close, so after arriving in this core area, Bibi Dong did not rashly enter the Lake of Life.

Instead, she chose to hide here.

Bibi Dong had carefully selected this location.

The view here was wide, allowing her to see everything happening in the Lake of Life clearly, and it was a position where she could advance to attack or retreat to defend.

In the confrontation between Chu Feng and the Sky Azure Bull Python, if he gained the upper hand, Bibi Dong could secretly launch a sneak attack from here, causing him to fall into a disadvantage and be killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python.

If the Sky Azure Bull Python held the absolute upper hand, she could also judge the strength gap between herself and the Sky Azure Bull Python through observation.

Of course, if both sides were evenly matched and neither could take advantage of the other, that would be even better!

That way, Bibi Dong could strike with thunderous force, reap the rewards of the fisherman, kill Chu Feng, and obtain the Sky Azure Bull Python's Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

Bibi Dong imagined it all with delight.

Suddenly, a tremor came from the ground.

Something was coming this way.

In the next second, a strand of violent, scorching aura appeared, surging toward this side from afar.

Feeling this aura, the expression of Bibi Dong, hidden in the shadows, changed slightly.

Instinctively turning her head, her gaze suddenly looked toward the direction from which the tremor came.

Coming into view, she saw a "small volcano" moving at high speed, rushing wildly toward the direction of the Lake of Life.

Wherever that "small volcano" passed, the trees in its path were knocked down and trampled in swathes.

Bibi Dong saw that figure clearly.

It was a fierce and domineering giant ape, its form like an ancient Titan, its entire body pitch black.

There were red volcanic magma patterns on its body, making it look just like a moving "small volcano."

With such an appearance, it was no wonder that Bibi Dong had mistaken it for a moving "small volcano" at first glance.

"Even the Titan Giant Ape has come; Chu Feng is dead for sure this time!"

Bibi Dong watched with sinister eyes as the Titan Giant Ape sprinted toward the Lake of Life, a cold sneer playing on her lips.

With the two kings, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, joining forces, even Golden Crocodile Douluo would have to weigh his chances carefully, let alone anyone other than Qian Daoliu.

At this moment, Bibi Dong felt as if she could already vaguely see Chu Feng perishing under the combined assault of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"It is only a pity about Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo!" Bibi Dong shook her head. "They are my right and left hands; I owe much of my stability as Pope to their contributions!"

"Furthermore, they were my trump cards for hunting the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape in the future, yet they are about to be lost here!"

If she could, Bibi Dong would very much like to save Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

But she could not save them now.

If she saved Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, it would mean she was present here.

If she were clearly here, yet stood by and watched as Chu Feng was killed by the Sky Azure Bull Python, she would have no way to explain it to the Grand Pontiff.

Likewise, Bibi Dong could not explain why she, the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, would appear at the Lake of Life.

Therefore, to save herself the trouble, Bibi Dong chose to sacrifice Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Although without Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and having lost the control provided by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, hunting the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape later would be very difficult.

But that did not mean that without Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, she, Bibi Dong, would be unable to hunt the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

The Elder Hall had more elders than just Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

And...

A calculating light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.

For Chu Feng, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo to all perish together would not be a bad thing for her, Bibi Dong.

If the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape joined forces to kill Chu Feng—who was Qian Daoliu's prized disciple and the man Qian Renxue loved—they would inevitably seek revenge afterward.

When that time came, she would be able to obtain those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones without lifting a finger!

"Chu Feng, oh Chu Feng, you are indeed very strong."

"But you shouldn't have provoked me, Bibi Dong, and even less should you have threatened me to strip Xiao Gang of his status as Honorary Elder. Everything happening now is of your own doing!"

Having said this, Bibi Dong's figure and aura completely vanished into the shadows of the treetops.

On the other side, as the Titan Giant Ape was about to reach the Lake of Life, it slammed its arms against the ground and exerted a sudden, violent force with its right foot.

In an instant, the massive ape vaulted straight into the air, landing in a parabolic arc opposite the Sky Azure Bull Python, behind Chu Feng, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, forming a pincer attack against the three of them alongside the Sky Azure Bull Python.
