The black scythe she had conjured was an ability of the Death Spider Emperor's left arm bone, and it was devastatingly powerful.
Soul Power gathered in midair, forming a blood-red scythe blade more than ten meters long that shot straight toward Dugu Bo.
A powdery red poison also wafted around the blade!
"Old man has no quarrel with His Holiness the Pope. Why force me into a fight to the death?"
Seeing the scythe blade charge toward him with the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, Dugu Bo panicked.
He had worked so hard to reach the Titled Douluo realm. He didn't want to perish here for no reason!
At that moment, a white beam shot from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's eyes.
Bang!
The white beam struck the scythe blade, unleashing an enormous surge of Soul Power.
A fierce wind howled all around them. Every tree within a hundred meters was blasted to pieces by the shockwave!
Seeing this, Bibi Dong casually waved her left hand. Qin Xuan, sitting cross-legged on the ground, was instantly covered by a green barrier.
"My Medusa Gaze can even petrify energy. Why couldn't it petrify your scythe blade?" Dugu Bo cried in shock, then inwardly cursed, This is my first time fighting Bibi Dong.
This female Pope's strength is unfathomable, far beyond what I can contend with. Judging by the Soul Power she's giving off, she must be at least a level ninety-seven Super Douluo!
As he thought this, he unobtrusively glanced at Qin Xuan, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.
About three minutes passed, and the white beam gradually dimmed.
Then came a deafening boom.
The scythe blade cleaved the white beam and the surrounding air in half!
"Not good!" Seeing the enormous blade rushing toward him, Dugu Bo knew he couldn't dodge.
He hurriedly merged into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, then raised its hardest-scaled head to meet the blade!
Rumble—
The instant the scythe blade touched the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's body, it exploded like a bomb!
At the same time, a blood-red poison cloud spread across the area within a hundred meters.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's head was covered in blue-green wounds. It was clear that taking the blow head-on had left it badly injured!
When Dugu Bo came to his senses, he found his armor slowly melting and his face beginning to rot!
"What potent corrosive poison!" Dugu Bo cried in alarm, quickly controlling the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor to retreat from the red mist.
"I've long heard that Poison Douluo is an expert in poison."
"Today, I'll see whether your Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison is stronger, or the Death Spider Emperor's poison!"
Bibi Dong gave a cold snort, but didn't hurry to attack again.
They said that once one reached the Titled Douluo realm, winning a fight was easy, but deciding life and death was far more difficult.
After all, who among the Titled Douluos didn't have a trump card to save their life?
Yet Bibi Dong's fight with Dugu Bo made it seem as if a Titled Douluo were dealing with a junior Soul Douluo, able to kill him with a casual blow.
And judging by Bibi Dong's bearing, she hadn't even used her full strength.
After all, the Death Spider Emperor had two arm bones.
Yet she had only transformed her left arm into a black scythe, which showed she hadn't taken Dugu Bo seriously at all.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan could hear the fighting overhead but couldn't see what was happening. He was frantic, so he sped up his efforts to eliminate the Nether Demon Spirit Tiger's resentment.
Even so, without a full day and night, he had no hope of completely absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"Has His Holiness the Pope truly resolved to fight me to the death today?" Dugu Bo asked, his expression dark.
As soon as the words left his mouth,
he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then grew dizzy.
"Fight to the death?" Bibi Dong scoffed, her eyes full of contempt. "You couldn't even withstand one of my attacks. What makes you think you can talk to me about fighting to the death?"
Dugu Bo's face was deathly pale. He clutched his heart, clearly gravely injured, and couldn't help feeling afraid:
I only breathed in a tiny wisp of that red mist, yet I never imagined it would have such severe consequences.
The Death Spider Emperor's poison is like ants gnawing at my heart, slowly corroding all my organs. I can temporarily suppress it with the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison, but I won't last long.
And the Death Spider Emperor's poison seems to corrode mental power, too. It's vicious beyond belief!
I have to get away as soon as possible and refine the poison still inside me!
With that thought, he pointed at Qin Xuan and said coldly:
"This boy must be His Holiness the Pope's personal disciple, I presume?"
"I've never seen anyone absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as their third Soul Ring before!"
"Old Poison, if you dare lay a finger on him, I'll make you wish you were dead!" Bibi Dong furrowed her brows. Her right arm then transformed into a black scythe, and she prepared to attack.
"Bibi Dong, do you truly want to die with me?" Dugu Bo shouted.
"You're already at the end of your rope, yet you still dare to boast!" A cold smile curled Bibi Dong's lips. She transformed into a blood-red streak of light and shot toward Dugu Bo.
"I may not be able to take you down with me, but I can still kill your gifted disciple!"
"I'll first use my eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze, to stop time across several thousand square meters. Then I'll use my ninth Soul Skill to destroy everything around us with the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's poison!"
"Even if I can't kill you, killing your personal disciple will make this worthwhile!"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo burned all his blood essence, his aura surging as he prepared to fight to the death.
"Crafty old fox!" Bibi Dong stopped in midair when she saw this.
Her beautiful eyes shifted. She glanced at Qin Xuan, then at Dugu Bo, who was glowing with green light, and coldly spat out a single word: "Leave!"
As soon as the word left her lips,
Dugu Bo didn't waste a moment.
Even as he transformed into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor and fled, he didn't forget to hurl an insult:
"I'll remember today's humiliation!"
"One day, the Spirit Hall will pay a hundredfold!"
"You think you can?" Bibi Dong scoffed as Dugu Bo, who had vanished into the distance in less than half a minute, disappeared completely.
"If Little Xuan weren't here today, I would've left you dead and in pieces!"
With that,
she withdrew her Martial Soul and slowly descended beside Qin Xuan.
If Qin Xuan had finished absorbing the Soul Ring, she would have unfurled the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings without hesitation and chased after him. How could she have let Dugu Bo leave just like that?
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan hadn't said a word the entire time. He had simply absorbed the Soul Ring in silence. When he heard that Dugu Bo was gravely injured, his face remained impassive, but inside, he was overjoyed:
The Herb Garden is less than three kilometers from here, still within Bibi Dong's range of perception.
As long as Dugu Bo isn't an idiot, he'll never hide in the Herb Garden to recuperate.
Looks like it's time to claim my Immortal Herb fortune!
