Kunpeng Reveals Its Divine Might

Bibi Dong did not want to keep fighting Li Changqing either, but she clearly did not believe his claim that he knew everything happening across the continent.

She gave a cold snort. "Oh? Then what exactly do you know?"

Li Changqing saw that Bibi Dong wanted to fight yet was also willing to make peace, and that she still had no intention of using her Soul-Eating Spider Emperor. He understood at once:

It looks like Bibi Dong hasn't acquired many Soul Rings for her Soul-Eating Spider Emperor Martial Soul. She may not have any at all. That means her Soul Power Level probably isn't very high yet.

Once a genius with Twin Martial Souls cultivated one Martial Soul to the level of Titled Douluo, they could use their other Martial Soul to absorb high-age Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and advance rapidly.

That was an incomparable advantage of Twin Martial Souls, and it was why Li Changqing judged that Bibi Dong's Soul Power could not be especially high.

At the thought, Li Changqing relaxed.

Earlier, he had worried that Bibi Dong's Soul Power Level might be too high for him to defeat her, and he had been ready to activate his Kunpeng Martial Soul and flee. Now he was no longer afraid. He even felt like provoking her some more.

Bibi Dong really had tried to kill him. Failing to get a little revenge would not be Li Changqing's style.

Li Changqing chuckled. "From the sound of that, Your Holiness, you don't believe me."

Bibi Dong said nothing, but her icy gaze made her position clear.

Li Changqing decided to hit Bibi Dong where it hurt and make her relive the thing she least wanted to remember.

"How about I tell you a secret that hardly anyone on the continent knows?"

Bibi Dong had no idea what was coming. "I'm all ears," she said coldly.

Li Changqing spoke slowly. "Let me tell you a story."

"Once, there was a young woman who was a genius of a great power. She had a teacher who adored her, and she was that power's hope of standing at the pinnacle of the continent. Countless people placed their hopes in her. Then guess what happened?"

Bibi Dong's emotions surged. Her own past came to mind, and she had an inkling of what Li Changqing was about to say. Still, she clung to the hope that it was only a coincidence.

Li Changqing went on. "That young woman everyone had pinned their hopes on fell in love with a good-for-nothing. She was even willing to leave the power that had raised her for his sake, calling it 'pursuing love.' How laughable."

"Then her teacher used an extreme method to keep her from leaving."

Bibi Dong seemed to recall that painful experience. She lost control completely. Her expression twisted, her eyes turned bloodred, and boundless Killing Aura surged as she charged at Li Changqing once more.

"Shut up! Xiao Gang isn't a good-for-nothing! It was all Qian Xunji's fault!"

Li Changqing relied on his speed to evade Bibi Dong's attacks, speaking all the while.

"Her teacher later imprisoned her and threatened her with that good-for-nothing. He only released her after she gave birth to a little girl, and even then, he kept using the man to threaten her. As for the good-for-nothing, he thought the young woman had betrayed him. Before long, he found himself a new love."

"Tell me, Your Holiness. Isn't that ironic?"

Li Changqing put on a look of sudden realization. "I nearly forgot. Your Holiness is the young woman in the story. Silly me, telling you about your own past. How about I pick another story instead? I could tell you about that good-for-nothing. What do you think?"

"Shut up! I'll tear out your tendons and flay you alive! I'll make you wish for death and deny you even that!"

Bibi Dong had lost all reason. Killing Aura roiled around her as she glared at Li Changqing.

Suddenly, a terrifying poisonous mist spread outward. The fallen trees below were swiftly corroded away without a trace, and the surrounding space grew sluggish.

At the same time, bloodred light radiated from Bibi Dong. Her Killing Aura soared again as she went utterly berserk, so dense it was almost solid.

Bibi Dong unleashed both her Death Domain and Divine Slaughter's Domain. A weaker Titled Douluo caught in both would be killed by the domains alone, without Bibi Dong needing to lift a finger.

Li Changqing's strength was suppressed, but he did not panic.

Watching Bibi Dong lose herself to madness, Li Changqing shook his head slightly. "And you call yourself the Pope. That's all it took to make you angry?"

A pair of illusory golden Peng Wings appeared once more over the golden Bone Wings on Li Changqing's back, and his entire bearing changed.

Gone was the sharpness he had shown while wielding a sword. In its place was a bold spirit, as though he could roam freely through heaven and earth.

Then Li Changqing's right hand transformed into a Golden Peng Claw, and he suddenly appeared before the furious Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong had completely lost her reason. Li Changqing's sudden appearance before her inspired neither surprise nor fear. She lashed out at him with a spider leg.

But Li Changqing was faster. His Golden Peng Claw struck the purplish-black armor over Bibi Dong's chest, smashing her to the ground and leaving a huge crater.

Large pieces of armor fell from Bibi Dong's chest, exposing a broad expanse of snow-white skin beneath. Her aura plummeted as she suffered a grievous injury, and she drew both domains back into her body.

The heavy blow brought Bibi Dong back to her senses. No longer consumed by rage, she cried out in shock, "You have Twin Martial Souls? And what kind of Martial Soul is that? How can it be so powerful?"

Li Changqing wasted no words. His Golden Peng Claw grew larger and larger as he reached for Bibi Dong again.

Bibi Dong was truly afraid. She had a premonition that she would die. Not daring to take any chances, she immediately activated her Ninth Soul Skill, Undying Body.

With a boom, Bibi Dong was crushed by the immense force.

Li Changqing knew she was not truly dead, so he landed and quietly waited for her body to reform.

A moment later, Bibi Dong reappeared in human form. Her aura was even weaker than before, and her eyes were full of fear as she looked at Li Changqing.

Li Changqing sighed helplessly. "Your Holiness, I told you I didn't want to crush a flower with a ruthless hand. You insisted on forcing me. Regretting it now?"

Even so, Li Changqing had no intention of killing Bibi Dong. She was the Rakshasa God's chosen successor, and killing her might draw the attention of the Rakshasa God, or even the entire Douluo God Realm.

Li Changqing possessed Kunpeng True Blood, so he was not afraid, but he did not want to waste its power over something like this.

He stretched, ready to leave. "Your Holiness, I hope you won't hold a grudge against me. You brought this on yourself, after all. If you do hold a grudge, I really might crush that flower."

As he spoke, Li Changqing even made a few gestures with his hands toward the pair of slimes on Bibi Dong's chest.

Then Li Changqing beat his wings and flew away from the Mountain Forest, which had long since been left unrecognizable.

Feeling how weak her body had become, Bibi Dong slowly rose, resentment choking her.

"Li Changqing, I don't care what kind of Martial Soul you have. You insulted my Xiao Gang, and I will kill you. If I can't do it now, I'll wait until I've filled my Soul-Eating Spider Emperor's Soul Rings. If that still isn't enough, I'll wait until I become a God. I refuse to believe you can obtain a Godhood Inheritance too!"
