"Asura Demon Sword Slash!"
Bibi Dong had enraged Tang Chen.
The blood-colored sword mark on his forehead shone, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand blazed with bloody light.
Tang Chen slashed his sword, sending sword energy tearing through the air.
In an instant, Bibi Dong was cleaved in two. The two halves of her corpse fell to the ground, blood and entrails splattering everywhere.
After killing Bibi Dong, Tang Chen was stunned to discover that Qian Daoliu remained completely unmoved.
She was the Pope of Spirit Hall, his granddisciple.
The cold-bloodedness Qian Daoliu displayed now shocked even Tang Chen.
"Qian Daoliu, I really underestimated you!"
"If killing Bibi Dong leaves you unmoved, then I'll slaughter whoever I please in Spirit City. Let's see if you can still remain unmoved!"
Carrying the Asura Demon Sword, Tang Chen turned and prepared to charge into Spirit City.
Qian Daoliu's expression turned cold.
"Alas, this Tang Chen actually thinks he's killed Bibi Dong."
"I can stay out of it if you kill Bibi Dong, but killing Spirit City's residents means severing the roots of my Spirit Hall."
"Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Lion, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, forget about rules. We'll take him on together."
"Tang Chen must die today!"
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and the others instantly completed their Martial Soul Possession, each erupting with soul power. Even facing Tang Chen, who had become a demigod, none of them backed down in the slightest.
"All right!"
Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and the others shot forth like seven streaks of light, spreading out to surround Tang Chen.
Qian Daoliu blocked Tang Chen's path head-on.
"Tang Chen, your opponent is me!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angel True Body!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Breath!"
This time, Qian Daoliu unleashed his true strength, determined to put Tang Chen to death.
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and the others wore resolute expressions as they unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars, then their Ninth Soul Skills.
The brothers Qian Jun and Jiang Mo went further, unleashing their combined Ninth Soul Skill, Salvation of All Beings to Bodhi.
Although their soul power was only at rank 97, their combined Ninth Soul Skill was powerful enough to shake even a rank 99 Peerless Douluo.
Tang Chen's expression changed drastically. Facing six Peak Douluos and one Peerless Douluo at once, even he felt a little daunted.
After all, he was only a demigod, not a true god.
And he had just been caught in the explosion of Bibi Dong's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.
Speaking of Bibi Dong.
After Tang Chen left, Bibi Dong's mangled body rapidly transformed into energy. All that energy then gathered together, turning from intangible to tangible and forming Bibi Dong once more.
Her face, however, was rather pale, and she panted heavily.
Although her Death Spider Emperor's Ninth Soul Skill, Undying Body, could reverse life and death, it consumed an enormous amount of soul power.
She clenched her fists, staring at Qian Daoliu through gritted teeth.
That old bastard just wanted to watch me get killed.
Although I'll definitely destroy the Angel Lineage after becoming a god, I'm still the Pope of Spirit Hall right now. As Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, you actually stood by and left me to die.
Once I become a god, I'll destroy your Angel Lineage.
Meanwhile, back with Tang Chen!
"Qian Daoliu, you really grow more pathetic with age."
"Seven against one. Only your Spirit Hall would do something like this."
"Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Detonation!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Tang Chen's soul ring configuration consisted of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
He detonated his first four soul rings in one go.
But that was nowhere near enough to let him fight seven Titled Douluos.
"Keep detonating!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Another four soul rings exploded, and all the immense energy within them surged into Tang Chen's body.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Violent energy rampaged through his meridians. After so many years of erosion by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen's body had long since reached the brink of collapse.
The energy from those four hundred-year and thousand-year soul rings had been manageable, but these four contained the energy of ten thousand year soul rings.
The sheer violence of that energy made his body, strong on the outside but hollow within, begin to crack like porcelain.
Wisps of energy seeped through the cracks.
Tang Chen's expression bordered on madness. He knew that after this strike, this body of his would be ruined.
Since it would be ruined anyway, he might as well go all the way.
"Qian Daoliu, seven against one. You've really outdone yourself. You forced me into this."
"Keep detonating!"
Bang!
His final Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring exploded, its immense energy surging into Tang Chen's body all at once.
The energy released by detonating all nine soul rings truly propelled Tang Chen to god level for an instant.
"All of you, die!"
In an instant, countless blood swords swept forth. Time seemed to freeze, and the void was riddled with holes.
All manner of violent energy shock waves slammed into Tang Chen, blasting his crack-covered body apart.
A gigantic mushroom cloud erupted in the sky above Spirit Hall.
At the same time, those countless blood swords tore through the bodies of Qian Daoliu and the other six enshrined elders.
Drenched in blood, his aura feeble, Qian Daoliu spoke with his heart still pounding in fear:
"Fortunately, Tang Chen wasn't the true Asura God yet. This attack was fierce, but it lacked a god's power of laws. Otherwise, that blow would have been enough to kill me."
"Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, are all our brothers all right?"
Golden Crocodile's aura was equally feeble. There was a bloody hole in his lower abdomen, and torn wounds covered his shoulders and chest. He answered weakly:
"I won't die yet."
"But Tang Chen was truly terrifying. His demigod body, combined with the power of Ring Detonation, felt as though it had completely surpassed a rank 99 Peerless Douluo. That really was a strike from a god-level powerhouse!"
"We actually took a god-level powerhouse's strike head-on and survived!"
Blood spilled from Azure Luan's mouth and nose, his face deathly pale.
"Great Enshrined, there's an icy killing intent clinging to my wounds like a festering sore gnawing at the bone. It's preventing them from healing."
Qian Daoliu dared not delay. His gaze swept over everyone, from Golden Crocodile to Jiang Mo. Each of them bore multiple wounds, some pierced clean through.
"Come with me, quickly. We'll go to the Worship Hall and use angel divine power to heal your injuries."
"Paying a price to eliminate a great enemy like Tang Chen was worth it."
"Let's see how Tang San achieves dual god fusion now."
"Right, the Asura Demon Sword!"
Qian Daoliu looked toward where Tang Chen had been.
The Asura Demon Sword hovered there.
This Asura Demon Sword was the key to Tang San achieving dual god fusion. As long as Qian Daoliu obtained it, Tang San could forget about dual god fusion.
Qian Daoliu flew over, intending to take the Asura Demon Sword to the Worship Hall and seal it there.
But in the next instant.
The Asura Demon Sword trembled. With a sweep of its blade, it tore space open, then flew into the spatial rift and vanished without a trace.
At the sight, Qian Daoliu's expression darkened.
Asura. It must be Asura again!
Now that the Asura Demon Sword has left, it must be going to find Tang San.
I have to act quickly. Once our injuries heal, we'll send troops to Sea God Island.
As long as Tang San lives, Xiao Xue will never be safe.
