Chen Feng VS Bibi Dong! Titled Douluo?!

The messages in the Chat Group refreshed at high speed.

Little Witch: [Guild Leader, hurry and save Xiao Wu!]

Poison Fairy: [Her Holiness the Pope has already violated the group rules!]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [Bibi Dong, make Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stop!]

Fragrant Fox: [Teacher, it isn't too late to stop now.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [I will not kill her.]

I Have No Mother: [Once she falls into Spirit Hall's hands, isn't whether she lives or dies entirely up to you?]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [Great Guild Leader, please help!]

The group members' emotions surged violently.

The Chat Group's activity value soared rapidly, breaking through its previous limit in the blink of an eye.

System notifications appeared in Chen Feng's mind one after another.

[ Ding!]

[The Chat Group's activity has reached a historical high.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.]

[Soul Bone type: Azure Lotus Sword Left Leg Bone.]

[Soul Bone Skill One: Azure Lotus Sword Step.]

[After activating this skill, you can instantly cross a distance of one thousand meters, ignoring ordinary soul power blockades along the way.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Titled Douluo Trial Card.]

[Trial Card duration: one quarter-hour.]

[The consumption of all soul skills and Soul Bone skills will be greatly reduced.]

Chen Feng's gaze shifted slightly.

A hundred-thousand-year left leg bone.

A Titled Douluo Trial Card.

These two rewards had arrived at precisely the right moment.

So long as he used the Trial Card, even Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo working together would not be able to stop him.

Even if Bibi Dong acted personally, Chen Feng could still face her head-on.

The black palm condensed by Ghost Douluo was already pressing down over Tang San's head.

The Clear Sky Hammer continued to sink.

The veins in Tang San's arms bulged, while his legs sank into the shattered stone slabs.

The Eight Spider Lances cracked one after another.

"Xiao Wu, run!"

Tang San desperately circulated the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

But Chrysanthemum Douluo's petals had already sealed off every route of escape.

Xiao Wu stood behind him.

She did not move.

With Titled Douluo joining forces to seal them in, she could not possibly leave the Papal Palace plaza with her current strength.

Bibi Dong gripped the Papal Scepter.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit."

"I will not hurt you."

"As long as you cooperate with Spirit Hall's investigation, I can guarantee your safety."

Xiao Wu raised her head toward the papal platform.

"I don't believe you."

Bibi Dong did not continue trying to persuade her.

The Papal Scepter tapped lightly.

The Heaven-Piercing Velvet Chrysanthemum in Chrysanthemum Douluo's palm bloomed at once.

Petals filled the sky, forming a golden cage that descended upon Xiao Wu.

Just then.

The sky over Spirit City suddenly darkened.

Heavy clouds blotted out the sunlight.

An incomparably tyrannical surge of soul power pressed in from afar.

The soul masters around the plaza all looked up.

At the center of the clouds, a Clear Sky Hammer rapidly enlarged.

Its enormous hammerhead resembled a mountain as it crashed down with terrifying force.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed drastically.

"Tang Hao!"

The golden petals immediately changed direction.

The Heaven-Piercing Velvet Chrysanthemum condensed into a massive barrier in midair, blocking the Clear Sky Hammer.

Before the hammer truly fell, the petal barrier had already begun to shatter.

Ghost Douluo gave up suppressing Tang San.

Black soul power gathered from every direction, transforming into an enormous ghostly face that met the Clear Sky Hammer in the air.

Boom!

The Clear Sky Hammer crashed down head-on.

All the golden petals exploded.

The black ghostly face shattered from the center.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo retreated at the same time.

The white jade slabs beneath the two Titled Douluo sank one after another.

A tall figure descended from the clouds.

A tattered black robe fluttered in the wind.

Tang Hao reached out and grasped the Clear Sky Hammer.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

Nine Soul Rings revolved around his body.

After the final hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring appeared, the soul power weighing down on the plaza intensified once more.

Tang San looked at that figure's back.

"Dad!"

Tang Hao did not turn around.

"Spirit Hall."

"After all these years, you still like using numbers to bully the weak."

Bibi Dong slowly descended from the papal platform.

Her purple papal robe trailed across the white jade steps.

Yellow, purple, black, and red Soul Rings appeared in succession.

Two enormous forelimbs of the Death Spider Emperor unfolded from behind her.

"Tang Hao."

"You still dare come to Spirit City."

Tang Hao rested the Clear Sky Hammer on his shoulder.

"Why would I not dare come here?"

The palace guard knights surrounding the Papal Palace assembled rapidly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo returned to Bibi Dong's sides.

The soul power of three Titled Douluo locked onto Tang Hao simultaneously.

Chen Feng stood not far away.

He did not immediately use the Titled Douluo Trial Card.

Since Tang Hao had appeared of his own accord, this was a good opportunity to see how much strength the Clear Sky Douluo still possessed.

Dugu Yan came to Chen Feng's side.

"Should we act?"

"Let's watch first."

Chen Feng looked up toward the center of the plaza.

Tang Hao's old injuries were extremely severe.

Yet his aura remained domineering.

The strength of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul far surpassed that of ordinary tool martial souls.

Bibi Dong raised the Papal Scepter.

"Take him down."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo vanished from where they stood at the same time.

Golden petals and black ghostly shadows closed in on Tang Hao from both sides.

Their soul power merged together.

The Chrysanthemum-Ghost Domain rapidly unfolded.

The space around Tang Hao immediately froze.

Even the glow of soul power on the Clear Sky Hammer stalled for a moment.

The Death Spider Emperor's forelimbs behind Bibi Dong stabbed out at once.

Dark purple venom coated their sharp edges.

The three Titled Douluo joined forces, completely sealing off Tang Hao's escape routes.

Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer with both hands.

His seventh black Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

Martial Soul Avatar.

The Clear Sky Hammer swelled with the wind.

Dense patterns of lightning lit up across its surface, layer after layer.

The binding force of the Chrysanthemum-Ghost Domain was forcibly pushed apart.

Tang Hao stepped forward with his right foot.

The plaza floor swiftly collapsed.

The massive Clear Sky Hammer swept across.

The golden petals condensed by Chrysanthemum Douluo were smashed into countless motes of light on the spot.

The black shadow formed by Ghost Douluo was also forced back by the hammer's gust.

Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor forelimbs collided with the Clear Sky Hammer.

Purple venom spread over the hammerhead.

Tang Hao exerted strength through his arms.

The Clear Sky Hammer pressed down again.

The white jade slabs beneath Bibi Dong's feet shattered layer by layer.

Their soul power deadlocked in midair.

Terrifying shockwaves spread outward without end.

The defensive soul devices around the viewing area lit up one after another.

Several red-robed bishops joined forces to maintain the barrier, yet they were still driven back repeatedly by the impact.

Tang Hao's ninth hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened.

"A hundred-thousand-year soul skill?"

Tang Hao did not unleash an ordinary soul skill.

That scarlet Soul Ring trembled violently.

Large cracks appeared across its surface.

The moment Chen Feng saw this, he immediately recognized Tang Hao's technique.

"Ring Detonation."

Dugu Yan turned to look at him.

"He's directly detonating a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?"

"The ultimate technique of the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer."

Chen Feng continued watching the center of the plaza.

"It releases all the power within a Soul Ring at once."

"The power is extremely great."

"The price is equally steep."

The scarlet Soul Ring exploded with a bang.

Boundless energy surged into the Clear Sky Hammer.

The originally pitch-black hammerhead was covered in a layer of red radiance.

Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Bibi Dong."

"This hammer is a gift for Spirit Hall."

A massive hammer shadow covered half the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong's seventh Soul Ring immediately lit up.

"Death Spider Emperor True Body!"

A colossal phantom of the Spider Emperor occupied the center of the square.

Eight spider legs simultaneously blocked the Clear Sky Hammer.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars.

Three surges of Titled Douluo soul power met the hammer shadow head-on.

The next moment—

The Clear Sky Hammer descended.

Boom!

The entire Papal Palace square shook violently.

Huge cracks spread across the ground.

The white jade steps shattered one after another from bottom to top.

The Death Spider Emperor's eight legs were smashed downward.

The petals of the Heaven-Piercing Velvet Chrysanthemum scattered in every direction.

Gui Mei's avatar was also rapidly forced back beneath the hammer shadow.

All of Bibi Dong's soul power surged into the Death Spider Emperor.

Yet the Clear Sky Hammer continued pressing downward.

Three Titled Douluo working together were actually being suppressed head-on by Tang Hao alone.

Tang San stared at the massive hammer shadow in midair, his eyes filled with fervor.

"This is the Clear Sky Hammer's true power."

"Xiao Wu, let's go!"

He turned and reached for Xiao Wu's wrist.

But another hand was faster than Tang San's.

A white sleeve swept past from the side.

Chen Feng was already standing before Xiao Wu.

Tang San's hand grasped empty air.

"Chen Feng?"

Chen Feng did not look at him.

"Xiao Wu."

"If you want to live, come with me."

Xiao Wu looked at the white-clad figure before her.

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered at Chen Feng's side.

Golden-blue sword intent blocked all the surrounding ripples of soul power.

"Why are you saving me?"

"Chat Group rules."

Chen Feng raised his hand.

"Members are not allowed to hunt each other."

Xiao Wu's breath caught.

Those words were exactly the same as what the group leader had said.

She had no time to keep thinking.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had already been suppressed by Tang Hao.

Bibi Dong was also doing everything she could to withstand the Clear Sky Hammer after Ring Detonation. This was the best chance to leave Spirit City.

Xiao Wu placed her hand in Chen Feng's palm.

"I'll go with you."

Tang San immediately blocked their path.

"Xiao Wu!"

"Father came to save us."

"You can't go with Chen Feng."

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San.

"Third Brother."

"Senior Tang Hao is holding off Spirit Hall right now. Everyone should retreat immediately."

Tang San reached out, still trying to seize Xiao Wu.

The Azure Lotus Sword moved on its own, barring the space between them.

The golden-blue radiance on its blade made Tang San halt.

Chen Feng raised his eyes to him.

"Move."

Tang San clenched the Clear Sky Hammer.

"I'm taking Xiao Wu with me."

"Xiao Wu has already made her choice."

Chen Feng did not linger any longer.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Azure Lotus Sword Left Leg Bone merged into his body.

Golden-blue sword patterns extended upward from his left leg.

The Soul Bone skill activated instantly.

"Azure Lotus Sword Step."

An azure sword lotus bloomed beneath his feet.

Chen Feng gripped Xiao Wu's wrist.

Their figures merged into the sword light at the same time.

Tang San reached out to grab them.

But his fingertips touched only azure lotus petals that gradually faded away.

"Chen Feng!"

Golden-blue sword light pierced through the Titled Douluos' soul power blockade.

In the blink of an eye, it had crossed the Papal Palace square.

A second sword lotus bloomed above Spirit City.

The Azure Lotus Sword carried them both, turning into a long rainbow as it flew beyond the city.

Xiao Wu stood at the back of the sword.

She looked back once at the increasingly distant Papal Palace.

Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer still pressed down over the square.

Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo had no time to pursue them.

Tang San stood at the edge of the shattered square, able only to watch the azure sword light vanish into the horizon.

Chen Feng withdrew his gaze.

"Xiao Wu."

"Hold steady."

The Azure Lotus Sword accelerated again.

Golden-blue sword light streaked past Spirit City's walls.

Their figures vanished completely.

Outside Spirit City.

Golden-blue sword light cut through the night sky and descended into a quiet valley.

With a gesture from Chen Feng, the Azure Lotus Sword slowly came to a stop.

Xiao Wu's toes touched the ground, and her pink skirt fluttered softly in the airflow.

The moment she steadied herself, her body tipped forward.

Chen Feng reached out and supported her shoulder.

"Steady yourself."

Xiao Wu raised her head, her fair cheeks slightly flushed from the night wind.

"Thank you."

"You've already said that once."

"Then Xiao Wu will say it again."

Xiao Wu did not immediately step away.

Her hands were still resting on Chen Feng's arms, close enough that they could feel each other's breath.

Chen Feng lowered his head and glanced at her.

Her slender body was wrapped in a long pink dress, her rabbit ears drooping softly behind her head. After riding the sword all the way here, her hair had been tousled by the wind, adding a touch of liveliness to her appearance.

Sensing Chen Feng's gaze, Xiao Wu immediately released him and stepped half a pace back.

"Did you know all along that Xiao Wu would be in danger?"

"I did."

"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Chen Feng looked toward distant Spirit City.

"Some things only make you truly resolve yourself after seeing them with your own eyes."

Xiao Wu lowered her head.

She understood what Chen Feng meant.

If she had not seen Bibi Dong force her before the Papal Palace with her own eyes, if she had not seen Tang San seize her wrist the instant danger came, she might have continued staying by Tang San's side.

But now, she saw clearly.

Tang San could stand before a Titled Douluo for her sake.

Likewise, he could accept her sacrifice in a future desperate situation.

Those two things did not conflict.

Xiao Wu raised her head, her gaze falling upon Chen Feng's face.

"You saved Xiao Wu, so you are Xiao Wu's lifesaver."

"Does that mean Xiao Wu should stay with you from now on?"

"You want to stay with me?"

"Yes."

Xiao Wu nodded.

"At least until I have the ability to protect myself, I don't want to return to Tang San's side."

She spoke with complete seriousness.

Chen Feng did not answer immediately.

Xiao Wu stepped forward and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Is that all right?"

Chen Feng looked at the slender fingers gripping his sleeve.

"Aren't you worried that others will misunderstand?"

Xiao Wu blinked.

"Misunderstand what?"

"Misunderstand the relationship between you and me."

"Then let them misunderstand."

After saying that, Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed again.

She lowered her head to look at her toes and added:

"Xiao Wu has nowhere to go now."

"If you won't take me in, I can only find a cave to hide in."

"There are soul beasts in caves."

"Then I'll hide beside you."

Chen Feng looked at the girl before him.

Xiao Wu's tone sounded light, but a trace of unease hid in her eyes.

After her identity was exposed, she had lost Shrek's protection and any reason to remain among humans.

Da Ming and Er Ming were still in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As things stood, she truly had nowhere safer to go.

"Stay with me for now."

Chen Feng withdrew his gaze.

"Xiao Wu, once you have thought it through, decide what path you want to take from here on."

"I've already thought it through."

Xiao Wu followed after Chen Feng.

"As long as I'm not Tang San's Soul Ring, Xiao Wu can do anything."

The two of them walked forward through the valley.

After taking a few steps, Xiao Wu quietly moved closer to Chen Feng.

She reached out and grabbed Chen Feng's sleeve.

"What is it?"

"It's too dark here."

"You're a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and you're afraid of the dark?"

"Soul Beasts can be afraid of the dark too."

Xiao Wu answered as naturally as if it were obvious.

"And there was such a fierce fight in Spirit City just now. Xiao Wu still hasn't fully recovered."

Chen Feng looked at her.

"When you faced two Titled Douluo just now, you didn't say you were afraid."

"That was because Xiao Wu knew she couldn't be afraid."

Xiao Wu moved a little closer to him.

"Now that we're safe, of course Xiao Wu can be afraid."
