Mother-Daughter Showdown

Bibi Dong's attack was fierce, the spirit power between her palms sinister and evil.

The black-purple spirit power was incredibly venomous; ordinary Spirit Masters would die instantly upon contact.

The expressions of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo changed drastically.

By the time the two reacted, Bibi Dong's ruthless killing blow had already reached them.

Bibi Dong's strike was chilling, aimed straight at their hearts.

This blow from Bibi Dong was intended to kill, with the goal of eliminating Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Once these two obstacles were removed, there would be no one left to stop her from killing Chu Feng.

"Oh no!"

Seeing the opponent's fierce attack about to strike him, Ghost Douluo's expression shifted abruptly, his heart filled with horror as he cursed silently.

Daring not to show the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated his martial soul's special trait to evade the attack.

In the blink of an eye, at that incredibly perilous and critical moment, Ghost Douluo timely triggered his martial soul's trait, entering a state of intangibility.

Upon entering this intangible state, Ghost Douluo could directly immunize himself against all attacks except those with holy or light attributes.

Bibi Dong's attack passed straight through the intangible Ghost Douluo.

It did not inflict any effective damage upon him.

While Ghost Douluo evaded Bibi Dong's attack, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not so lucky.

He did not possess a martial soul like Ghost Douluo's, nor did he have the skill to turn intangible to avoid attacks.

Although his reaction was not slow and he managed to activate his martial soul for defense in time, he was still caught in the wake of Bibi Dong's attack and tainted by the venom of the Death Spider Emperor.

Bibi Dong's spirit power level was higher than Chrysanthemum Douluo's, and her martial soul's venom instantly eroded his body, causing him to lose his combat effectiveness on the spot.

"Po... Pope!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's lips rapidly turned a dark purple-black.

Feeling the potency of the venom within his body, Chrysanthemum Douluo was shocked.

Such... such terrifying martial soul venom!

Aside from Poison Douluo, there was actually another Title Douluo on the continent with such terrifying mastery over poison.

A name crossed Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind, but he immediately dismissed it as impossible.

Why would the Pope attack him?

The next second, Chrysanthemum Douluo saw Bibi Dong and couldn't help but freeze.

His expression went blank.

He even doubted if it was just an illusion; how could he be seeing the Pope?

It was indeed the Pope.

But why would the Pope attack him and infect him with such potent martial soul venom?

What was the Pope trying to do?

Was the Pope trying to kill him?

Realizing that Bibi Dong intended to kill him, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt a chill run through his heart.

He could not understand why Bibi Dong would want to kill him.

He and Ghost Douluo were her right-hand men, and they were the first from the Elder Hall to support her.

"Pope!" Ghost Douluo saw the person before him and was equally astonished.

He harbored the same questions as Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Why was the Pope here, and why would she attack them?

Bibi Dong's previous strike had been aimed directly at taking their lives.

If not for the unique nature of his martial soul, he would likely be in the same state as Chrysanthemum Douluo, having lost all his combat power.

Ghost Douluo did not understand why the Pope was here, nor why she would turn on them.

He pondered that they hadn't done anything wrong, nor had they betrayed her.

They had been loyal to her, so why would she treat them this way?

Ghost Douluo wanted to open his mouth to question Bibi Dong.

However, Bibi Dong did not give him the chance.

Seeing Ghost Douluo react quickly and evade her attack through his martial soul's trait, no surprise appeared in her eyes.

As her right-hand men, she naturally understood their martial souls.

She immediately countered with a backhand strike, launching an even fiercer attack toward him.

Ghost Douluo's intangible state could indeed immunize him against most attacks, and almost nothing except holy or light attributes could harm him.

However, if the opponent's strength is far superior to his, Ghost Douluo's intangibility becomes useless.

There is no such thing as an absolutely invincible defense on the Douluo Continent; there is only insufficient attack power.

Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body is said to be immune to physical attacks, but god-level attacks can still kill her.

"Your Holiness the Pope, where have Chrysanthemum Douluo and I gone wrong? Why would you try to kill us like this!"

Seeing Bibi Dong turn her attack toward him with even greater ferocity, Ghost Douluo's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly channeled his martial soul to defend with all his might while questioning the reason.

Even if he were to die, he wanted to be a ghost who understood why.

He and Chrysanthemum Douluo had been single-minded and loyal to Bibi Dong; why would she treat them this way?

Even if she intended to discard them like worn-out tools, they needed to know the reason.

Otherwise, he would not be able to close his eyes in death.

Of course, this was also to stall for time and fight for a glimmer of hope for survival.

Chu Feng was currently absorbing his ninth Spirit Ring; if he finished, they would have a chance to live.

They had seen Chu Feng's terrifying strength for themselves.

Even the Forest Emperor, the Azure Bull Python, had been killed by him in a single strike.

Although the Pope was also very powerful, they were certain she could never kill the Azure Bull Python in a single strike.

Therefore, Ghost Douluo did his best to stall for time, hoping to buy more time for Chu Feng to absorb his Spirit Ring.

At the same time, he prayed in his heart, hoping that Chu Feng would finish absorbing it quickly.

The Pope's strength was too overwhelming; they truly could not hold out for long.

If Chrysanthemum Douluo had not been ambushed and lost his combat ability, they could have used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to force a stalemate for a few seconds.

But Chrysanthemum Douluo had been ambushed and had lost all his combat capability.

Now, only he, Ghost Douluo, remained as a combatant.

Bibi Dong was no fool; she naturally knew that Ghost Douluo was deliberately stalling for time.

She was well aware of Chu Feng's strength.

Therefore, she would certainly not allow Ghost Douluo to succeed in stalling.

"Don't even think about stalling for time; I won't give you that chance.

As for why I want to kill you? A dead man doesn't need to know so much!"

With that said, Bibi Dong struck a palm filled with killing intent directly toward Ghost Douluo.

However, just like the previous strike, her palm passed straight through Ghost Douluo's chest.

But this strike was different from the last one.

This blow clearly dealt a certain amount of damage to Ghost Douluo.

After taking the hit, although Ghost Douluo maintained his intangible state, his aura became somewhat chaotic.

"Is this still not enough?" Bibi Dong watched her attack pass through his chest without causing significant damage, murmuring to herself.

Ghost Douluo's intangibility was truly perverse.

If her spirit power hadn't been significantly higher than his, she really would have been unable to do anything to him in the short term.

With a thought, even more violent spirit power erupted from within her body.

The power of this palm was even more terrifying, forcing Ghost Douluo out of his intangible state and dealing him a heavy blow that rendered him unable to fight.

With both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo incapacitated, Bibi Dong ignored them and walked straight toward Chu Feng.

She reached his side and looked down at him as he absorbed his Spirit Ring.

Without any hesitation, Bibi Dong activated her second martial soul: the Soul Eater Spider Emperor, to devour his martial soul and spirit power.
