Unerring Aim

Once locked on, unless Bibi Dong was forcibly interrupted, anyone struck by it would surely die.

And Xiao Wu clearly had yet to realize how terrifying this soul skill was.

"Aunt Rou..."

Nezha tightened his grip on the Qiankun Ring.

This was the magical treasure unlocked by his first Soul Ring after Ah Rou's Sacrifice.

The Soul Ring Ah Rou had traded her life for had brought him this mythical divine weapon.

Nezha used every ounce of his strength and viciously hurled the Qiankun Ring at Bibi Dong.

"Go!"

The golden bracelet flew from his hand and expanded with the wind.

In less than the time it took to blink, the Qiankun Ring swelled from a palm-sized bracelet into a golden wheel as large as a millstone. Crimson-gold flames burned over its entire surface, warping the air with heat wherever it passed.

Qiankun Ring.

A thrown magical treasure.

Unerring aim.

This was one of its most basic properties.

Once it locked onto a target, no matter how the opponent dodged or blocked, they could never evade it.

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.

She sensed that terrifying presence coming from her side.

Instinctively, she tried to dodge, but before her body could move, that wheel of golden light had already smashed into her.

"What—"

BOOM!!!

The Qiankun Ring struck Bibi Dong squarely.

Golden light exploded.

Crimson-gold flames swept outward like a tidal wave, setting everything ablaze in their path.

The ground cracked and charred, trees ignited, and even the air crackled as it burned.

Bibi Dong was hurled backward like a stone knocked flying.

Her body spun through the air countless times, smashing through ancient trees thick enough to take several people to encircle. Splinters and shredded leaves exploded behind her in a long trail.

At last, her body slammed heavily into the face of a small mountain. The rock shattered, dust billowed, and she was buried beneath the rubble.

With its caster sent flying, the black sphere Eternal Creation had nearly formed collapsed with a roar at the last moment, turning into countless tiny black motes that vanished into the air.

"Cough—"

Bibi Dong struggled out of the rubble, clutching her chest, her face as pale as paper.

A distinct crack had appeared in the spot on her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor carapace where the Qiankun Ring had struck. Blood seeped from the fracture.

She let out a muffled groan of pain, her gaze shooting like blades toward the six-year-old child in the distance.

It was him!

Him again!

That child who had taken her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!

Killing intent surged from Bibi Dong's eyes almost tangibly.

The Qiankun Ring traced an arc through the air and flew back into Nezha's hand. He caught the bracelet, his fingers still trembling slightly.

That throw had drained every bit of his strength.

And Xiao Wu reacted faster than anyone.

The instant she saw Bibi Dong sent flying by Nezha's Qiankun Ring, a thought exploded in her mind.

—Now!

Ignoring the wounds on her abdomen and hind legs that were still bleeding, she transformed into a streak of pink light and charged toward Bibi Dong at the fastest speed of her life.

Take her life while she was injured!

Bibi Dong had only just steadied herself after rising from the rubble when she felt overwhelming killing intent rushing toward her.

She abruptly raised her head, her pupils shrinking!

Xiao Wu had already appeared directly above her.

The rabbit's eyes burned with blazing rage. Her two long, powerful hind legs were already brimming with strength, aimed straight at Bibi Dong's head.

The air gave a shrill howl under the unbearable pressure, as though even space itself was about to be shattered by that kick.

Countless thoughts flashed through Bibi Dong's mind in an instant.

She remembered Xiao Wu's ruthless rabbit kicks from before, the searing pain of that foot striking her cheek, and the humiliation of being pinned to the ground and repeatedly ground into the dirt.

Earlier, a rabbit had kicked her in the face.

And now, that rabbit wanted to kick her head apart.

Impossible!

Tens of thousands of purple rays erupted from Bibi Dong's body.

At this critical moment, she reacted in less than a tenth of a second.

The Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul possessed her once more, purple-black spider armor covering her entire body.

Fifth soul skill—

Myriad Spikes, Ten Thousand Shields!

Countless purple-black spider spikes burst from the ground around her, growing wildly like bamboo shoots after rain.

Those spider spikes layered over one another, weaving thick shield formations in front of her.

The shield formation formed a hemisphere that completely enveloped Bibi Dong.

Every spider spike was as thick as an arm, purple-black metallic luster flowing across its surface. One glance was enough to tell that they were indestructible.

Just as Myriad Spikes, Ten Thousand Shields took shape, Xiao Wu's legs arrived.

That kick contained all of Xiao Wu's fury, all her grief, all her strength.

At that moment, her two hind legs seemed to transform into two pink warhammers. Carrying the force to shatter heaven and earth, they slammed heavily into Myriad Spikes, Ten Thousand Shields.

BOOM!!!

A world-shaking explosion rang out.

The outermost spider-spike shield shattered instantly, fragments blasting outward like cannonballs.

Then the second layer shattered, the third layer shattered, the fourth layer shattered, and the fifth layer shattered.

With every layer that broke, the force in Xiao Wu's legs weakened by another fraction.

By the time cracks appeared in the final shield, the strength in Xiao Wu's legs had nearly been exhausted.

Standing behind Myriad Spikes, Ten Thousand Shields, Bibi Dong looked at those cracks, and an expression of surviving disaster finally appeared on her face.

But that was all.

Xiao Wu had failed to kick through Myriad Spikes, Ten Thousand Shields.

Bibi Dong had blocked Xiao Wu's final life-or-death kick.

Xiao Wu's body was thrown back by the recoil. She flipped several times in the air before landing on the ground, her four legs plowing four long furrows into the earth before she barely managed to steady herself.

Her hind legs trembled slightly. The rebounding force from Myriad Spikes, Ten Thousand Shields had left her leg muscles in tearing pain.

Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Wu's panting form, then swept her gaze over the few remaining Spirit Hall soul masters in the distance and gritted her teeth.

She could not keep fighting.

The soul masters she had brought were already dead or injured beyond count, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei were badly wounded as well. If this continued, even she might fall here.

It was all because of that damned Rakshasa God Trial. Otherwise, she would never have been reduced to such a sorry state.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, and her Martial Soul instantly switched.

The dark green carapace of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor covered her body once more.

Suppressing the internal injuries inflicted by the Qiankun Ring, she crazily poured Soul Power into her fifth Soul Ring.

Fifth soul skill: Soul-Eating Poison Barrier!

A mass of dark green poisonous mist, so thick it was nearly liquid, erupted from around Bibi Dong.

The poison mist spread at an astonishing speed, covering a battlefield hundreds of meters across in almost the blink of an eye.

Wherever the mist passed, trees withered, flowers and grass rotted away, and even the ground was corroded into a black, scorched crust.

The mist contained the purest venom of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. It could not only corrode Soul Power and flesh, but also block all perception.

Er Ming and Da Ming, who were attacking the Spirit Hall forces, simultaneously saw green before their eyes as their vision was instantly obscured by the poisonous mist.
