Golden Crocodile Douluo and Qian Daoliu

Bibi Dong's soul power had actually reached level 98, but due to the restrictions of the Rakshasa God Trial, she could only exert strength equivalent to level 95.

Under these circumstances, even with her Twin Martial Souls, two 100,000-year soul rings, and their corresponding soul bones, she could only fight to a stalemate against the combined assault of Demon Bear Douluo and the others, unable to gain the slightest advantage.

Damn the Rakshasa God! Bibi Dong cursed inwardly, realizing she could not take down these three.

Immediately, after forcing Lingyuan Douluo back with a strike of her scepter, she dodged the attacks from Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo, then ordered Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo below: "Gui Mei, Yue Guan, what are you still standing there for? Attack! Take down these three traitors for me!"

"Ah? This..." Gui Mei and Yue Guan hesitated.

"Traitors? Bibi Dong, you caused the late Emperor's death; you are the true traitor of our Martial Soul Hall!" Demon Bear Douluo shouted.

"That's right! Gui Mei, Yue Guan, have you forgotten the late Emperor's kindness in recognizing your talents, and your responsibilities as elders of Martial Soul Hall? Quickly join us and take down this traitor, Bibi Dong!" Lingyuan Douluo shouted loudly at Gui Mei and Yue Guan.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan exchanged glances, both seeing the inner conflict in the other's eyes.

It was true that Qian Xunji had shown them great favor, but Bibi Dong had been Pope for over a decade, and they had followed her orders for just as long. To turn against her... psychologically, they found it impossible to do so in the moment.

Hmph, daring to disobey me, truly two ungrateful wolves! Entangled with the three, Bibi Dong glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Seeing them still wavering and failing to assist as ordered, her expression turned icy as she cursed them in her heart.

Subsequently, looking at the three Title Douluo surrounding her, she began to unleash her ultimate techniques.

"BOOM!" A terrifying killing intent erupted from her body, transforming into a visible red light that rapidly enveloped the surroundings.

Divine Slaughter's Domain!

This was the reward she received after completing the first trial left by Asura on the Douluo Continent, a domain condensed from killing intent.

Within this domain, one's own momentum is boosted, allowing the user to exert 110% of their power, while the enemy's strength is weakened by 10%. As the martial soul grows, this ratio increases.

"Not good, it's a domain!" Ghost Leopard Douluo's expression changed, and he exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid, Demon Bear Avatar!" The seventh soul ring at Demon Bear Douluo's feet bloomed with dazzling black light. He crossed his arms to block in front of him and shouted: "Use your strongest soul skill to annihilate her! Ninth soul skill—Blazing Meteor Fall!"

As he spoke, his ninth soul ring also erupted with dazzling light.

Seeing Demon Bear Douluo's actions and hearing his shout, Ghost Leopard Douluo calmed down. He nodded tacitly to Lingyuan Douluo, and both activated their martial soul avatars.

"Ghost Leopard Avatar!"

"Spirit Kite Avatar!"

"Ninth..."

"Enough, all of you stop!" Just as the two were about to unleash their ninth soul skills like Demon Bear Douluo, a majestic shout suddenly echoed from outside the Pope's Palace.

Then.

"BOOM!" A massive beam of golden light shot toward them.

In an instant, it interrupted Demon Bear Douluo's nearly completed ninth soul skill, simultaneously repelling Bibi Dong and knocking back both Ghost Leopard Douluo and Lingyuan Douluo.

Following this, steady, powerful footsteps rang out, and a burly figure strode into the hall.

The hall's lights cast a gargantuan shadow of him on the floor.

"Second Worship of the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo!" Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo's expressions shifted as they muttered.

Realizing who it was, they quickly bowed to the newcomer: "Greetings, Second Worship!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo ignored them. He scanned the dilapidated hall, then fixed his gaze on Bibi Dong, who had been knocked back by his strike and was now pressed against the wall on the high platform, one hand on her chest, breathing slightly heavily. He said to her coldly: "Bibi Dong, the Great Worship wants to see you. Come with me!"

"Second Worship, Bibi Dong just admitted it herself—she is the one who killed the late Emperor!" Lingyuan Douluo steadied herself, walked forward, and bowed to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

She then looked at Bibi Dong and continued: "I ask that the Second Worship take action and execute this traitor to avenge the late Emperor!"

"We also ask the Second Worship to take action and avenge the late Emperor!" Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo also stepped forward to bow and request.

Looking at them, Golden Crocodile Douluo said: "The Great Worship will handle this matter."

"Yes," the three replied in unison.

The Great Worship was the late Emperor's father and the former Pope of Martial Soul Hall; he would certainly not let Bibi Dong, the murderer of his son, go unpunished!

Demon Bear Douluo and the others all felt this way.

"Bibi Dong, what are you still standing there for? Come down and follow me to see the Great Worship!" After responding to the three, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Bibi Dong, who hadn't moved from the platform, and spoke coldly.

"Hoo~" Bibi Dong closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

How hateful, how hateful that I am restricted by the Rakshasa God Trial and cannot use my full strength. Otherwise, I would have killed those three just now, and I wouldn't have to endure Golden Crocodile Douluo's arrogant attitude!

No matter how much she hated it, reality could not be changed. There was no other way.

Bibi Dong reopened her eyes and said coldly: "Let's go, lead the way."

"Hmph." Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted, turned around, and strode away.

Bibi Dong stepped down from the platform, clutching her scepter—the symbol of the Pope—and followed him out of the hall.

During this time, she exchanged glances with Demon Bear Douluo, Lingyuan Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo, all of them clearly seeing the killing intent in each other's eyes.

Furthermore, she glanced sideways at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, but the two averted their eyes.

Hmph, two ungrateful wolves!

Not long after, inside the Worship Hall.

Before the massive Angel God Statue, an old man dressed in a gold and blue coat stood with his hands clasped behind his back, facing away from the hall entrance.

Golden Crocodile Douluo walked in, bringing Bibi Dong with him.

"Great High Priest." Golden Crocodile Douluo placed his right hand over his left chest and said to Qian Daoliu, "Bibi Dong is here."

"Mm." Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Hmph, why summon me? To kill me?" Bibi Dong stared at Qian Daoliu's back and let out a cold snort.

"If I had wanted to kill you, I would have done it over a decade ago. I know Qian Xunji wronged you, which is why, for the sake of this and Xiao Xue, I did not strike you down back then and even helped you ascend to the position of Pope. However..."

Qian Daoliu slowly turned around and looked at Bibi Dong, saying, "The situation is different now. Your act of killing Ji'er has been exposed by the Sky Screen, and the entire continent knows. As you are now, even with my support, you can no longer hold the position of Pope. The disciples of Martial Soul Hall will neither accept nor understand it."

"So, you intend to depose me?" A dangerous glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she asked.
