On the arena!
Long Xiaoyao and Bibi Dong stood on opposite sides.
They faced each other, one brimming with killing intent, the other haughty and disdainful.
"Bibi Dong, today I will kill you."
"I'll avenge Xishui with your blood."
Long Xiaoyao spoke coldly.
He had stepped onto the arena today determined to kill Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong frowned slightly!
"I wasn't the one who killed Ye Xishui."
"If you want revenge, shouldn't you go after the right person?"
Bibi Dong was utterly exasperated.
She had nothing to do with Ye Xishui.
Even if Long Xiaoyao wanted revenge, he should go after that old geezer Qian Daoliu.
Why was he pinning this mess on her?
"Everyone from Spirit Hall deserves to die."
"Today, I, Long Xiaoyao, swear this."
"From now on, I'll kill every member of Spirit Hall I come across."
Long Xiaoyao didn't care whether Bibi Dong was innocent.
He was dead set on making all of Spirit Hall pay.
He wasn't the sort to reason with anyone.
"You're asking for death!"
"Today, I'd like to see whether your Holy Spirit Cult has what it takes!"
Although Bibi Dong had already been expelled from Spirit Hall and had nothing to do with it anymore,
Long Xiaoyao's arrogance infuriated her.
She, Bibi Dong, had never accepted threats.
Long Xiaoyao wanted to kill her.
Then she would show him who the true ancestor of evil was.
She had been dabbling in evil long before Long Xiaoyao was even born.
Bibi Dong refused to believe that the Holy Spirit Cult, which Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji had both thoroughly crushed, could defeat her.
"Spider Emperor True Body, activate!"
The purple-and-gold papal robes around Bibi Dong billowed violently.
The Soul Power within her erupted in an instant!
The pitch-black Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul shot into the sky first.
A gigantic phantom of the Spider Emperor loomed over half the arena.
Bone-chilling, deadly poison spread through the air, corroding the atmosphere around the arena until it shimmered faintly.
"This is all the Pope of Spirit Hall can do?"
Long Xiaoyao's expression didn't change.
The moment the Dark Sacred Dragon appeared, it suppressed the poison around them.
"Spider Emperor Thousand Devour!"
Seeing that Long Xiaoyao wouldn't be easy to deal with, Bibi Dong didn't bother testing him.
Countless strands of black spider silk shot through the air, transforming into thousands upon thousands of razor-sharp poisoned blades and sealing off every path Long Xiaoyao could use to dodge.
The poison clung to the Soul Power. Even a trace could corrode a Soul Master's meridians and paralyze the circulation of their Soul Power.
Facing the onslaught, Long Xiaoyao chose to strike back head-on.
"Dark Imperial Domain."
Profound, overwhelming dark Soul Power surged into the sky.
A Dark Sacred Dragon, its body entirely black and its scales and claws ferocious, let out a deafening roar.
Its terrifying pressure instantly engulfed the entire arena.
Nine top-tier Soul Rings lit up one after another, drawing the Soul Power of the surrounding world into a frenzied torrent.
An invisible domain spread in an instant.
The domain looked plain and unremarkable, yet it formed an absolute barrier of power.
The moment Bibi Dong's whistling poisoned threads and holy blades entered its bounds, their speed plummeted and their power steadily weakened.
The poison was dissolved by the dark power and devoured by the source of darkness. In the blink of an eye, most of her seemingly unstoppable attack was neutralized.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless Soul Power attacks exploded within the domain, stirring up a storm of Soul Power, yet none could come within three feet of Long Xiaoyao.
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly, and her heart sank.
"This man won't be easy to deal with!"
Long Xiaoyao had neutralized her powerful killing move with ease.
This was a turn of events Bibi Dong hadn't anticipated.
After all, Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu had been utterly defeated by the Qian father and son.
There was no reason she should fare any worse.
She was countless times stronger than that useless Qian Xunji.
She was a true genius.
She wouldn't lose to anyone.
Bibi Dong didn't hesitate and immediately changed her approach.
Her Soul Power surged another thirty percent, and she summoned every last bit of strength remaining within her.
"Divine Slaughter's Domain, activate!"
"Eternal Wound, go!"
The Divine Slaughter's Domain and her ultimate killing move locked onto Long Xiaoyao at the same time.
This was Bibi Dong's peak, her ultimate attack!
As Long Xiaoyao watched the deadly technique rushing toward him, a trace of seriousness finally crossed his eyes.
He sensed a threat.
A deadly threat!
If he didn't take this seriously, he might well be caught off guard and lose.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Black Dragon World-Suppressing Prison!"
Long Xiaoyao gave it everything he had!
Dark dragon energy surged around him as he rose into the air.
The Dark Sacred Dragon's true body unfurled completely, its ten-thousand-zhang-long form blotting out the sky and the sun as pure dark source energy swept across the eight directions.
The ultimate Soul Skill of a level-99 Limit Douluo burst forth!
Boundless darkness crashed down, transforming into a gigantic black dragon prison that trapped Bibi Dong completely.
Terrifying power of suppression and annihilation bore down in wave after wave. The power Bibi Dong had gathered rapidly dimmed and shattered inside the dragon prison.
Boom!!!
A thunderous crash reverberated across the entire arena!
Bibi Dong's purple pillar of light shattered, and the violent shock waves of Soul Power were firmly contained within the arena by the barrier.
Billowing dust surged into the sky, obscuring everyone's view.
"Who won?"
Outside the arena!
Countless people craned their necks, each hoping the competitor they had bet on would win.
But the dust obscured everything.
No one could tell how it had ended.
Qian Xunji's brow furrowed!
Watching everything unfold on the arena, he felt deeply vexed.
"I never thought that rebellious disciple would become this powerful."
Although Qian Xunji hated to admit it,
he was indeed far inferior to Bibi Dong now.
Bibi Dong might only need half her strength
to beat him until he was utterly crushed.
"She truly is the genius I had my eye on."
"Only a few short decades have passed, and she's already reached the pinnacle of Soul Masters."
"It's just a pity that Bibi Dong is an ungrateful wretch."
Qian Xunji felt both love and hatred for Bibi Dong.
He loved that she was a genius with unprecedented, terrifying talent.
But he hated that she was an ungrateful wretch with no conscience.
The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were just as astonished as they watched Bibi Dong display her might.
In all the years since Bibi Dong became the Pope of Spirit Hall, she had never once fought with everything she had.
Everyone knew Bibi Dong was powerful.
But they had never known just how powerful.
Now, Bibi Dong's performance showed them how terrifyingly strong she truly was.
If an ordinary Titled Douluo faced Bibi Dong,
she would kill them in fewer than ten moves, leaving not even a body behind.
Fortunately, they hadn't been matched against a powerhouse like her.
Otherwise, they truly wouldn't have known how to deal with her.
"Xiao San, just you watch."
"Bibi Dong will definitely win this battle."
"She's the most monstrous genius I've ever seen."
"Her brilliance shines like the sun."
"No matter how powerful Long Xiaoyao is, he can't possibly be her match."
Whenever Yu Xiaogang spoke of Bibi Dong, he not only sounded utterly confident in her but also spoke with deep yearning.
If Tang San had to sum him up in one word,
it would be a lovesick fool yearning for someone he could never have.
