Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong's Duel

Bibi Dong's words were exactly what Liu Erlong wanted to hear. She now wanted nothing more than to properly experience the Golden Sacred Dragon's power, so she readily agreed.

"Alright!"

"I was just about to see how strong this Golden Sacred Dragon really is!"

At this moment, nearly all of Liu Erlong's attention was immersed in the powerful sensation brought by the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Thus, she failed to notice the trace of coldness in Bibi Dong's tone.

Meanwhile, Su Chen was wholly focused on sensing the changes to his Soul Power after their Soul Power had fused, so he did not stop them either.

Seeing Liu Erlong agree, a strange glint immediately flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

The next moment.

She did not waste another word.

Boom!

An incomparably powerful wave of Soul Power suddenly erupted from within her.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

Six Soul Rings rose in succession.

The pressure of a level sixty-five Soul Emperor swept outward without reservation, while the Death Spider Emperor possessed her body!

Liu Erlong had still been full of excitement.

But when she truly saw the six Soul Rings beneath Bibi Dong's feet, she could not help freezing for a moment before crying out in shock.

"A Soul Emperor."

Previously, she had only known that Bibi Dong was two years older than her. She had never learned of Bibi Dong's cultivation level.

Now that she saw Bibi Dong had already broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, how could Liu Erlong not be astonished?

After all, she was only level forty-two now, nearly over twenty levels below Bibi Dong!

Yet as Liu Erlong was still reeling in shock, Bibi Dong had already made her move.

"First Soul Skill, Undead Spider Poison!"

Deep-purple venom descended head-on. Liu Erlong hurriedly controlled the Golden Sacred Dragon to beat its wings and soar into the sky, opening its jaws to spew Sacred Dragon Flame and evaporate all the venom.

Still, part of the poison touched the Golden Sacred Dragon's torso, causing its golden body to stiffen slightly.

Bibi Dong's gaze then turned cold. Her second Soul Skill, Spider Leg Pierce, and third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Bind, activated at the same time. Eight spider legs stabbed forth like spears, followed closely by several venomous webs pressing down.

Liu Erlong roared and forcefully drove the Golden Sacred Dragon to unleash its dragon might. Golden lightning exploded around it as its claws knocked aside the spider legs and its tail swept out, forcing Bibi Dong back several steps.

Gui Mei's eyes narrowed from the shadows.

"This Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Su Chen's is truly not weak!"

Having been forced back, Bibi Dong was already getting heated.

Her fifth Soul Skill, Death Devour, shot forth, aiming to seal the Golden Sacred Dragon's wings and limbs.

Immediately afterward, Bibi Dong's sixth Soul Ring blazed brightly.

"Space-Rending Abyss Slash!"

This Soul Skill had been specially developed by Su Chen for Bibi Dong. It possessed both spatial and death attributes; even an ordinary Soul Sage would have to focus entirely on defense to withstand it.

As the invisible slash struck out in an instant, Liu Erlong controlled the Golden Sacred Dragon to twist aside. Even so, its left wing was cut by the attack.

The intense pain made Liu Erlong lose herself completely as well, and she dove down with a beat of her wings.

Relying on the Thorn Spider Armor, Bibi Dong took the attack head-on. Yet in her impulsiveness, she lost her sense of measure and failed to retreat in time, instead trying to force her spider legs into the dragon's abdomen.

Liu Erlong seized that opening in an instant.

The Golden Sacred Dragon abruptly opened its jaws.

Boom!

A breath of Sacred Dragon Flame from point-blank range, wrapped in blazing sacred intent, crashed down upon Bibi Dong.

Gui Mei's expression changed drastically.

And Bibi Dong finally snapped awake at that moment.

Just at that critical instant.

Su Chen, who had been immersed in his insights all this time, suddenly opened his eyes.

Not good!

He judged the situation almost instantly.

The next moment, Su Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. He directly and forcibly took control of the portion of origin Soul Power within the Golden Sacred Dragon that belonged to him.

"Disperse!"

Buzz!

Following his low shout.

The smoothly circulating Soul Power circuit was forcibly severed midway by him.

Within the Golden Sacred Dragon, the two forces that had originally formed a perfect whole instantly came into violent conflict.

The Sacred Dragon Flame pouring from the dragon's mouth also visibly faltered at that moment.

Then, the golden pillar of fire that could have engulfed Bibi Dong rapidly collapsed in midair.

At the same time.

The enormous phantom of the Golden Sacred Dragon also crumbled apart in an instant.

Su Chen and Liu Erlong's figures separated from each other in midair at the same time.

After landing steadily on the ground, Liu Erlong looked at the stunned Bibi Dong ahead of her, and guilt suddenly welled up in her heart.

Had Su Chen not taken control in time, Bibi Dong would have been severely injured even if she did not die.

Thinking of this, Liu Erlong slowly walked toward Bibi Dong, intending to properly apologize.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was not having it nearly so easy.

Forcibly interrupting a Soul Power fusion was already an extremely dangerous matter.

What was more, Su Chen had severed the Soul Power connection while the fusion skill was erupting at full power.

In that instant, the violent backlash surged along the Soul Power circuit and savagely struck both his body and mind.

Su Chen felt as though his internal organs had been smashed by a heavy hammer.

The blood and Soul Power that had already been circulating rapidly inside him fell into complete chaos at that moment.

A sweet taste rose in his throat.

"Pfft!"

A large mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

"Su Chen!"

At the sight, every trace of color drained from Bibi Dong's face, leaving only panic in her eyes.

"Su Chen!"

She rushed toward Su Chen with nearly all her strength.

At the same time, Liu Erlong's expression changed drastically as she rushed toward Su Chen as well.

Just as Su Chen was about to collapse, the expected heavy fall did not come.

Because a ghostlike black shadow had already appeared behind him and reached out to catch him steadily.

The newcomer was Gui Mei, who had been hiding in the shadows all along.

But Gui Mei's face no longer held its previous calmness.

He lowered his head to look at Su Chen in his arms, blood at the corner of his mouth and his aura in disarray, and could not help frowning.

After all, Qian Xunji had issued a strict order back then: Su Chen absolutely could not be allowed to come to harm.

Yet such a mistake had occurred right under his nose. If Qian Xunji learned of it, he would certainly be in serious trouble.

Seeing a stranger suddenly appear, dressed so strangely at that, Liu Erlong was about to attack.

Bibi Dong immediately recognized Gui Mei. Though surprised, this was not the time to care about such things, so she hurriedly asked about Su Chen's condition.

"Elder Gui, how is Su Chen? Will he be alright?"

Seeing that Bibi Dong knew the man before them, Liu Erlong hurriedly withdrew her Martial Soul and looked at Gui Mei with equal anxiety and worry.

Hearing this, Gui Mei did not answer right away. He merely silently used his Soul Power to inspect Su Chen's body.

Su Chen's eyes were tightly shut now as he sat quietly cross-legged on the ground.

A moment later, Gui Mei's brows furrowed even deeper.

After his examination, he found that Su Chen's Soul Power was in chaos, and his limbs and organs had suffered severe damage. It could be said that his life was hanging by a thread.
