Outside Spirit City.
Bibi Dong's body trembled uncontrollably with fear as she stared at the ten spirit rings on the black-haired woman, utterly stunned.
She looked at the black-haired woman, and the black-haired woman looked back at her.
Suddenly!
"Cough, cough, pfft!"
The black-haired woman abruptly covered her mouth and coughed violently, blood seeping through the gaps between her fingers. The divine power and spirit rings on her body dissipated in an instant, and she collapsed weakly onto one knee.
Even so, she tightly clutched the swaddled bundle in her arms, as if what lay within was more important than her own life.
The moment the black-haired woman's aura faded, Bibi Dong broke out in a cold sweat, gasping for air. She looked at the black-haired woman with astonishment, uncertain of her intentions.
Suddenly, a deep voice and an even more terrifying presence echoed from the distant sky.
"Qilin, you can't escape. Hand over Young Master Feng Xiao, and I'll spare your life!"
Hearing this voice, the black-haired woman below lifted her head and roared with hatred, "Hah, you dare call him Young Master? He treated you with sincerity, yet you betrayed Young Master Feng Xiao. Even if I die today, I won't let you take him!"
With that, the black-haired woman named Qilin gritted her teeth against the pain wracking her body and charged straight into Spirit City.
Seeing this, a green-haired man with a bare, muscular torso and a azure dragon tattoo emerged from the sky. On his body, ten spirit rings also appeared. Though his ring configuration matched Qilin's, his strength was clearly far greater.
Another god. Bibi Dong was now too shocked to speak. She could only stare blankly at Qilin, who had reached her side, and the green-haired man in the sky.
"Qilin, this isn't betrayal. I just chose the right side. The situation in the God Nine Sect is settled. Following the future Sect Master Xiao Feng is the only way to survive. I'm not like you, foolishly sticking with Young Master Feng Xiao."
The green-haired man's words might have seemed unremarkable to others, but to Bibi Dong, they struck like a thunderbolt.
"God Nine Sect? Xiao Feng?"
In that moment, she recalled the prodigy Xiao Feng from Nuoding City a year ago, who had cost her four Title Douluo elders and was suspected to be the young master of some divine realm force.
"Are they the same person?"
Bibi Dong forced herself to stay calm, while the green-haired man continued.
"Most of the god elders in the God Nine Sect support Xiao Feng as the heir to the sect master position. No one favors Young Master Feng Xiao. Following him leads only to death. Give up, Qilin. It's not too late to turn back. If you surrender, I can still save your life."
But Qilin's gaze was full of disdain. Wiping the blood from her lips, she said coldly, "In life, I belong to Young Master Feng Xiao. In death, I am his spirit! Only Young Master Feng Xiao can lead the God Nine Sect to its peak. Xiao Feng? He's nothing but a despicable coward!"
With that, Qilin thrust the swaddled bundle toward Bibi Dong and said coldly, "Take care of my young master. If a single hair on his head is harmed, I'll make you regret ever being born."
The next moment, Qilin's divine power surged again, and her ten spirit rings reappeared. The determination in her eyes shocked even Bibi Dong—what kind of look was that? One filled with resolve, unafraid even of death!
The green-haired man in the sky shook his head lightly. "Qilin, you're no match for me. In your current state, I could kill you with one hand."
"Hmph, enough talk. Let's fight!"
Just as the two were about to clash, a sigh echoed over Spirit City.
"Stop, Azure Dragon!"
At the same time, a twelve-winged humanoid phantom materialized above Spirit City.
Seeing this figure, the man named Azure Dragon's face darkened. He said coldly, "Angel God, are you sure you want to meddle in the God Nine Sect's affairs? Do you know what that means?"
His tone was full of threat, but the wariness in it was unmistakable.
"Azure Dragon, though the God Nine Sect is the top power in the divine realm, my Angel Temple is no pushover either. And I don't think the God Nine Sect would openly go to war with my Angel Temple over you. Besides, this is my Angel Temple's territory!"
As he spoke, the angel phantom solidified slightly. Seeing this, Azure Dragon's expression grew even uglier.
"Angel God, are you sure you can stop me? You should know that this phantom of yours alone is no match for me!"
In response, the Angel God only sneered. "Feng Xiao's parents showed me kindness. Today, I will protect Feng Xiao, no matter what!"
"If your true body were here, I'd leave without a word. But with just this phantom, you can't protect Feng Xiao!"
The next moment, Azure Dragon's divine power surged, his ten rings pulsed, and a terrifying pressure rolled down from the sky, crushing everyone in Spirit City beneath it!
Even Qilin could only lift her head with difficulty, glaring at Azure Dragon in fury.
Bibi Dong's face was even more grim. If these two gods fought, Spirit City would likely be destroyed in the clash. She desperately hoped they wouldn't fight, but she was powerless to stop it.
Just then, the Rakshasa God's mark in her mind was triggered. A figure slowly materialized in front of Spirit City—the Rakshasa God, whom Bibi Dong had only glimpsed vaguely before!
"If the little angel isn't enough, how about adding me?"
An icy voice rang out. Seeing the newcomer, Azure Dragon's face turned ashen.
"Rakshasa God, are you meddling in the God Nine Sect's affairs too?"
Facing Azure Dragon, the Rakshasa God sneered coldly. "The divine realm is in chaos now, and your God Nine Sect is mired in internal strife. Others might fear your God Nine Sect, but I, the Rakshasa God, do not. In terms of strength, I'm a first-rank god—I'm not afraid!"
"Fine, fine, fine! Rakshasa God, you're something!"
With three consecutive "fines," Azure Dragon turned and left, but not before leaving behind a parting shot: "Just wait until my God Nine Sect descends upon your Rakshasa Temple. I hope you won't regret it then!"
In an instant, the green-haired man vanished from the sky, and the overwhelming pressure dissipated.
Seeing Azure Dragon leave, Qilin struggled to her feet and cupped her hands toward the Angel God and Rakshasa God. "Thank you both for saving me!"
"Feng Xiao's parents showed us kindness. Now that they are gone, it's only right that we repay it." The Angel God's tone was heavy with sorrow.
"As much as I dislike that little angel, he's right. Feng Xiao's parents showed us kindness, and we must repay it. But we can protect him for a time, not forever. Though the God Nine Sect is in turmoil, it remains the top power in the divine realm. My forces and the little angel's are no match for them."
When the Asura God finished speaking, Qilin's expression turned extremely ugly. Bibi Dong beside her did not dare to interrupt at all, only able to listen like an obedient child.
"But it's not completely hopeless!"
The Asura God turned his gaze to Feng Xiao in Bibi Dong's arms, and Bibi Dong's body instantly stiffened, not daring to breathe.
"Senior, you mean Young Master Feng Xiao?" Qilin suddenly spoke.
The Asura God nodded and said, "That's right. Feng Xiao's talent is the most monstrous I have ever seen in my life. As long as he grows up, he will be invincible in the future. Even Xiao Feng would absolutely not be a match for Feng Xiao."
"I understand, two seniors."
"Since you understand, I'll be on my way. But before that, Angel brat, I'll gladly accept this phantom of yours!"
Amidst loud laughter, the Asura God grabbed the Angel God's afterimage, instantly tore it apart, and then absorbed it.
This scene stunned everyone. They never imagined that the two who had been fighting together a moment ago would suddenly turn on each other.
"Not bad, not bad. Angel brat, this phantom of yours tastes quite good. I look forward to the day I completely devour you!"
With that, the Asura God's figure vanished instantly. Two seconds later, a furious voice came from the sky above.
"Asura, you bastard, I'll fucking #%#%#¥%"
"You son of a &¥%¥%"
"I'll %¥%¥%..."
A barrage of curses directly stunned countless people in Spirit City. Could gods really swear like that?
Meanwhile, Old Jack, far away in God King Village, looked at the horizon and couldn't help but sigh softly, "This power from another world is truly terrifying. Even Asura and Angel, those two brats, can't resist it? Perhaps even I couldn't do anything about it?"
