Rumble—!!!

The giant hammer finally struck the ground, causing the entire earth to groan in agony as countless shards of rock erupted outward.

The dust and smoke dissipated.

Although Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) and the others had joined forces to block the blow, the hostages originally used for leverage had already been rescued and brought back to the Clear Sky Sect's camp.

"Hahaha! Bibi Dong! Your scheme has failed!"

Tang Xiao supported Bai He, looking at the empty clearing, and let out a hearty, satisfied laugh. "Now, let's see what bargaining chips you have left!"

"Bargaining chips?"

Nan Feng brushed the dust off his clothes. Far from being angry, he revealed an even more sinister smile.

"Sect Master Tang, do you really think... that this was all the preparation I made?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

"Look at the people in your hands."

Nan Feng pointed toward the members of the Speed Clan who had just been rescued and were currently wearing expressions of survivors who had narrowly escaped death.

"Ah—!!"

Suddenly, a shrill, miserable scream rang out.

A woman who had been perfectly fine a moment ago suddenly turned purple, her body convulsing as she foamed at the mouth. Her skin began to fester, emitting a nauseating, foul stench!

"This... is this poison?!"

"I feel so sick... ah!!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!!"

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen of the elderly, women, and children who had just been rescued were all rolling on the ground in agony; the scene was nothing short of a living hell!

Only Bai He, a Soul Douluo, managed to suppress the toxin with his profound soul power despite his face turning a bruised purple, preventing an immediate outbreak.

"Bibi Dong! You poisoned them?!"

Tang Xiao stared at the scene, his eyes splitting with rage.

"All is fair in war."

Nan Feng spread his hands, smiling as if bathed in a spring breeze. "This is a secret recipe of This Seat, the venom of the Death Spider Emperor. Aside from me, there should be no one in this world who can cure it."

"Originally, if you had just listened obediently, I intended to provide the antidote. What a pity..."

Nan Feng shook his head. "You insisted on snatching them away."

"Well, now you have your people back, but their lives... that's another matter entirely."

"You—despicable!!" Tang Xiao roared.

"Despicable?"

Nan Feng sneered and stood up abruptly. The lazy aura around him vanished instantly, replaced by a monstrous killing intent!

"Since you insist on refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, since you insist on choosing this path to death..."

"Then This Seat shall grant your wish!"

"All forces, attack—!!!"

"Kill!!"

Boom—!!!

Following the order, Bibi Dong (Nan Feng) took the lead. The Slaughter God's Domain and the Death Domain overlapped, transforming into a streak of purple-red light as he lunged straight at Tang Xiao!

Chrysanthemum and Ghost followed closely behind, each unleashing their soul skills to meet the elders of the Clear Sky Sect.

The great battle erupted in an instant!

However, just as the two sides were about to collide, Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

As Bibi Dong approached, the purple-black Death Domain spread like a plague.

Wherever it passed, vegetation withered, rocks disintegrated, and the air became filled with suffocating, corrosive poison!

This poison was not a major threat to Title Douluo and Soul Douluo with their deep soul power.

But once it spread through the army, it would be a catastrophic disaster for those disciples at the Soul King and Soul Ancestor levels!

"Not good! It's poisonous!"

"Retreat! Don't let her get close!"

Tang Xiao made a split-second decision, swinging his Clear Sky Hammer violently to whip up a gale in an attempt to blow away the toxic mist.

"Elders! Form up! Push it back!!"

"Yes!"

The other six elders responded immediately. The seven of them instantly took their positions, their soul power linking together through a mysterious method.

"Clear Sky Formation—Seven Stars Linked!!"

BOOM—!!!

Seven Clear Sky Hammers smashed down simultaneously, converging into a force that moved mountains and overturned seas, forcefully blasting the charging Bibi Dong back hundreds of meters.

"Pfft!"

Bibi Dong tumbled through the air several times before steadying herself. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, yet the excitement in her eyes only intensified.

"Interesting."

"The Clear Sky Battle Formation? What a pity... you are all merely Soul Douluos."

"Yue Guan! Gui Mei! Stop slacking off! Get up there and hold the line for This Seat!"

"Understood!"

Although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had not yet fully recovered from their injuries, they knew they could not retreat now. They braced themselves and charged forward, pinning down the two elders on Tang Xiao's flanks from the left and right.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Demon Bear Douluo, who had originally intended to slack off, was currently facing the siege of a group of muscular men with a miserable expression.

"Demon Bear! Give me your life!"

Titan roared, leading three Soul Saints from the Strength Clan and five Soul Saints who had rushed over from the Clear Sky Sect. Like mad dogs, they bit onto Demon Bear Douluo and refused to let go.

"Damn you all!"

Demon Bear Douluo cursed inwardly while parrying in a sorry state.

What happened to slacking off? What happened to surrounding without attacking?

How did it turn into him alone fighting a group of brutes?!

Titan's eyes were already bloodshot. With his Martial Soul Avatar fully unleashed, every punch carried the force of a thousand jun, a style of fighting that was purely about trading life for life.

Added to that were the few Soul Saints from the Clear Sky Sect harassing him with their Clear Sky Hammers. A dignified Title Douluo was being suppressed and beaten by a Soul Douluo leading a group of Soul Saints—it was humiliating to the extreme!

"BOOM!!"

Another heavy, powerful Clear Sky Hammer smashed down. Nan Feng, controlling Bibi Dong's body, barely managed to block it with her spider spears, but the impact sent her sliding back dozens of meters, her feet carving two deep trenches into the ground.

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, staining her purple-gold armor.

It was too stifling!

Truly too stifling!

Tang Xiao combined with five peak Soul Douluo-level elders—this Clear Sky Battle Formation was like a turtle shell combined with a hedgehog. It had both offense and defense, and its power was ridiculously high.

Every collision felt like a mountain crashing into her.

On the other side, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also being tightly entangled by the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Clear Sky Sect.

Although these two old fellows were aged, their combat experience was extremely rich. Moreover, they were fighting with the advantage of rest, specifically targeting the soul power nodes of Chrysanthemum and Ghost, giving them no chance to approach Bibi Dong or execute their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Damn it! These hammer-wielders are truly shameless!"

Nan Feng cursed loudly within the Sea of Consciousness. "Six against one? And the other two keep coming over to smash a hammer every now and then—do you have any shame left?!"

"Bullying the few with the many, are you?!"

"Nan Feng, stop cursing!" Bibi Dong's anxious voice rang out. "If this continues, we will really lose! One against six—my soul power is being consumed too quickly, and Chrysanthemum and Ghost are being held back; they can't get over here at all!"

"Once I am defeated, the entire Martial Soul Hall army will collapse in an instant!"

The situation at this moment was indeed precarious.

Tang Xiao's side was acting with the intent to strike while she was down, giving Bibi Dong no chance to catch her breath.

"I know that, of course!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Nan Feng's eyes as he gritted his teeth. "I originally intended to keep this move as a trump card, to be used later if that old thing Qian Daoliu ever wanted to turn against us."

"But now..."

"Just because of you, this stubborn woman! You insisted on playing by your 'bottom line' with me! You refused to use that card of Qian Renxue's!"

"Well, look at it now! I have no choice but to reveal it early!"

"That move? Which move?" Bibi Dong was stunned, unable to keep up with Nan Feng's train of thought.

"You will know soon enough."

Nan Feng did not explain. Instead, he took a sharp breath, and the soul power fluctuations on his body changed abruptly.

Soul-Eater Spider Emperor! Activate!

"First Soul Skill—Half Moon!!"

The six spider spears on Bibi Dong's back, along with her arms which had transformed into spider-spear shapes, instantly converged in front of her. As the eight spear tips touched the ground, a dark green light erupted like a volcanic explosion!

Swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish—!!!

In an instant, six massive, crescent-shaped ink-green light blades tore through the air with a shrill whistle, like six scythes of the Grim Reaper, each slashing toward the six Clear Sky Sect powerhouses surrounding her!

This strike was not only incredibly fast but also deviously precise, with the trajectory of every light blade shifting eerily in mid-air to strike directly at the opponents' vitals!

"Watch out!!"

Tang Xiao was shocked and hurriedly swung his Clear Sky Hammer to block, while the other five elders also scrambled to retract their attacks and defend.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!

Violent explosions rang out; although this strike failed to injure them, it successfully forced back their encirclement, buying Bibi Dong a sliver of precious breathing room.

Nan Feng used the momentum to leap backward, putting a hundred meters of distance between them.

"Bibi Dong, are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

"Wha... what?!" Bibi Dong was completely stunned. "A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? With whom?"

"With me!"

Nan Feng pointed at his own spirit body, then gestured toward Bibi Dong's Martial Souls:

"Your Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eater Spider Emperor are both top-tier Spider Emperor Martial Souls. Logically, these two distinct types of soul power cannot fuse, which is why they formed Twin Martial Souls."

"But!"

"It's different now."

"Our souls have already merged, and I have completely invaded and taken control of your Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul."

"Therefore..."

"As long as you focus entirely on controlling the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor, while I take full command of the Death Spider Emperor."

"Using the point where our souls are intertwined as a foundation, we can force the two originally conflicting Spider Emperor powers to fuse and connect across the bridge of our souls."

"We can create a one-of-a-kind Self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill in this world!!"

"I owe this to the times you fought me for control of this body; when those two soul powers clashed inside, I managed to grasp the frequency at which they could fuse."

"I haven't been idle during this time."

Listening to Nan Feng's insane theory, Bibi Dong felt her scalp tingle.

Within a single body, using two souls to separately control two Martial Souls for a fusion?

A Self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!

If this failed, even without Tang Xiao needing to lift a finger, this body would explode and perish from the collision of two terrifying energies!

"Don't just stand there!"

Watching Tang Xiao and the others charging back in, Nan Feng shouted sternly, "Do you want to win? Do you want to trample this bunch of hammer-wielders under your feet?"

"If you do, then give me everything you've got with the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor!!"

"Fine!"

Bibi Dong was a decisive person; since they were already in a desperate situation, she would gamble!

This cowardly Old Spider would never joke around with his own life!
