Bibi Dong VS Tang Hao! Battle of the Titled Douluo!

Before the words had even faded, Tang Hao leaped into the air.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand whipped up a violent black hurricane, smashing straight toward Lin Yuan's back.

A terrifying sonic boom detonated through the forest.

The immense air pressure uprooted every ancient tree within dozens of meters.

Soil and wood splinters danced wildly in the air.

The moment Tang Hao's aura erupted, Lin Yuan had already reacted.

He did not look back, nor did he hold anything back.

The bloodline power of the Nine Nether Beast surged through his body like a bursting river.

A dark phantom manifested behind him, its nine tails thrashing madly.

At the same time, the Nine-Nether Slaughter God's Domain was fully activated.

A dark red halo, saturated with the killing intent of Asura and the deathly aura of the netherworld, erupted from beneath his feet.

The power of the domain forcibly tore a gap in the pressurized space created by the Clear Sky Hammer.

Utilizing this brief opening, Lin Yuan pushed his speed to the absolute limit.

He transformed into a black afterimage, sprinting forward with everything he had.

But the gap in strength was simply too vast.

The wind pressure above his head was already as heavy as Mount Tai.

Before the Clear Sky Hammer had even landed, the ground beneath him began to collapse in a wide radius.

The full-force strike of a Titled Douluo had locked onto his aura with lethal precision.

That sense of despair, like a mountain crushing down, was impossible to evade.

Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to strike Lin Yuan's back, a voice, cold as ice, exploded over the dense forest.

"Tang Hao, don't you dare touch him!"

Following this sharp cry, a blinding purple light descended from the sky.

A massive pillar of purple light, like a sword capable of cleaving the heavens, struck the descending Clear Sky Hammer with pinpoint accuracy.

"BOOM—"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Soul Hunting Forest.

Violent ripples of energy swept in all directions, leveling everything within hundreds of meters to the ground.

Lin Yuan was pushed forward by the shockwave for over a dozen meters before he managed to steady himself.

He looked back.

Bibi Dong's tall, graceful figure now stood before him.

Her long dress snapped in the storm, and she gripped a purple-black scepter that radiated a terrifying, toxic aura.

Her beautiful eyes were locked onto Tang Hao ahead.

Her peerless, stunning face was currently masked with a protective, resolute fury.

Lin Yuan was the apple of her eye.

Tang Hao's hammer strike had completely touched her reverse scale.

Tang Hao steadied his stance, holding the Clear Sky Hammer in one hand, and threw his head back in a wild, unrestrained laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Good! Very good!"

"My trip here was truly not in vain!"

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Bibi Dong as if she were prey.

"I was searching everywhere for you, yet here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep."

"The old one must die, and the young one cannot be spared either."

"Two birds with one stone; today, I shall take both your lives to pay tribute to Ah Yin's spirit in heaven!"

The commotion from such a terrifying clash instantly swept across the entire edge of the inner circle.

Far on the other side of the forest, Dugu Bo was also startled by the fluctuations.

He grabbed Dugu Yan and Hu Liena, leaping rapidly to the top of a towering tree to gaze into the distance toward the battle.

Seeing the rugged man holding the pitch-black giant hammer, his feet planted upon red spirit rings, Dugu Bo gasped.

It was the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

Dugu Bo's expression shifted drastically, and he instinctively shrank back.

He was a smart man, well aware that even among Title Douluo, there were distinct ranks and hierarchies.

Tang Hao possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and wielded the number one tool martial soul in the world.

If a real fight were to break out, his own old bones wouldn't be enough to withstand a single strike of that hammer.

He did indeed have a very good impression of the little monster Lin Yuan, and he owed the boy a favor.

But to offend a god of slaughter like Tang Hao for a child he had just met?

To even risk his own life for it—that was a trade that simply wasn't worth the cost.

Dugu Bo pressed down on Dugu Yan's shoulder, hiding their figures even deeper in the shadows.

In the clearing deep within the forest, air currents surged and spiraled wildly.

Bibi Dong gave Tang Hao no chance to continue his bluster.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

Nine brilliant soul rings spiraled up from beneath her feet in an instant.

Her body shuddered as she released her martial soul directly.

Death Spider Emperor possession!

A purple-black carapace instantly covered her body, and her lower half transformed into a massive spider form.

Immediately following, a brilliant purple light erupted from her back.

Her six purple light wings fully unfurled.

Six wings, thin as cicada silk yet hard as refined steel, beat rapidly in the air.

Utilizing the speed of her External Soul Bone, Bibi Dong transformed into a streak of purple-black lightning, taking the initiative to charge toward Tang Hao.

Eight thick, razor-sharp spider legs, like eight long spears dripping with lethal poison, thrust directly toward Tang Hao's vital points.

"You death-seeking venomous woman!"

Tang Hao let out a cold snort, the muscles in his arms bulging as he swung the Clear Sky Hammer down to meet her head-on.

"CLANG!!!"

A heaven-shaking sound of metal clashing erupted.

The spider legs of the Death Spider Emperor collided head-on with the Clear Sky Hammer.

A massive spray of sparks exploded in mid-air.

Bibi Dong felt a force like a surging tide rush through her spider legs and into her body.

That overbearing, peerless power was impossible to fully neutralize with soul power alone.

She let out a muffled groan, her entire body forced back several steps by the immense impact.

With every step she retreated, the hard rock beneath her feet was crushed into powder.

Struggling to steady herself, Bibi Dong looked down and saw faint white marks on her incredibly durable spider legs.

A tearing pain radiated from the webbing between her thumb and forefinger, where beads of blood had begun to seep out.

The power of the world's number one tool martial soul, combined with the amplification of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring—in a direct head-on collision, she had ultimately come out the loser.

High up in the canopy in the distance, Dugu Yan saw the state of the battle clearly.

Seeing Bibi Dong fall into a disadvantage after a single exchange and realizing Lin Yuan was standing in the rear facing immense danger, Dugu Yan was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

She shook Dugu Bo's arm forcefully.

"Grandfather, hurry and go help!"

"Lin Yuan helped me suppress my soul ring backlash earlier; how can you just stand by and watch him die!"

Dugu Bo's brows were locked in a tight frown. He brushed his granddaughter's hand away, his expression grave.

"Nonsense!"

"That is the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao! Do you think he's just some thousand-year-old snake like the one from before?"

"This is a matter between adults; a little girl like you has no business interfering here."

"If Grandfather steps in, not only will I fail to save him, but our entire Dugu family will be buried along with him!"

Dugu Yan stomped her feet in frustration and retorted loudly.

But Lin Yuan is still right there.

Dugu Bo remained unmoved, holding his granddaughter down firmly.

Just as Dugu Bo was preparing to lead his people in a quiet retreat.

A crisp yet incredibly piercing voice cut through the raging storm and landed precisely in his ears.

"Dugu Bo, help me."

"I have a way to resolve the snake venom in your family."

The voice was not loud, yet it exploded in Dugu Bo's mind like a thunderclap.
