Not only Tang San, but even Yu Xiaogang, who lay on the ground like a puddle of sludge, suddenly raised his head. A venomous gleam shot from his eyes, swollen almost shut.
He gritted his teeth and growled indistinctly, "Xue Xing... how dare you..."
But things had already come to this. No amount of anger or questioning could change anything now.
Tang San reacted with lightning speed.
Since Heaven Dou couldn't be relied upon, he could only rely on himself!
The hesitation in his eyes lasted only an instant before ruthless resolve replaced it!
"Everyone in the Tang Sect, heed my command!"
He let out a thunderous roar.
"Change targets! Attack with everything you have and take Bibi Dong down!"
No matter what, as long as they could do it here today, before the eyes of the entire world—
Capture the Spirit Hall Empire's pope, and all the dignity they had lost would be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
"Yes!"
Tai Tan and the others answered in unison. Holding nothing back, their raging soul power became five torrents that surged into battle!
But just then!
"Stop!"
A furious shout, somewhat youthful yet filled with imperial authority, rang throughout the square.
It was Xue Beng!
The young emperor looked at his uncle, Prince Xue Xing, with a livid face, then at Tang San, who had brazenly launched his attack. A flicker of conflict crossed his eyes before hardening into resolve.
"Uncle! Have you lost your senses?!"
"The Tang Sect is a pillar of our empire! How can we let this vile woman from Spirit Hall run wild here?!"
He abruptly drew the imperial sword at his waist and pointed it at Bibi Dong.
"All experts of the Heaven Dou Empire, heed my command!"
"Attack with me! Aid the Tang Sect and slay this fiend!"
At Xue Beng's command, the several Soul Douluos serving the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, along with the experts among the city defense forces—
Though somewhat hesitant, they still unleashed their soul power under the emperor's orders and joined the battle!
In an instant, wind and clouds changed color!
More than a dozen terrifying auras engulfed the entire Judgment Platform!
Killing intent blotted out the sky!
Energy surged and seethed!
More than a dozen of the continent's foremost experts converged from every direction to kill that peerless figure.
Yet, faced with this encirclement powerful enough to change the color of heaven and earth—
Bibi Dong merely raised her eyes slowly.
There was not the slightest trace of panic in her dignified, regal, violet phoenix eyes.
Only boundless majesty and the indifference of one looking down upon ants.
She stood there quietly, her skirt fluttering slightly in the violent currents of air, her expression utterly composed.
"Kill!"
Tang San's voice had taken on a hint of hysteria.
His plan's complete collapse, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's strange attitude, and the earth-shattering reversal of public opinion had driven him to the edge of a cliff.
If he could not subdue Bibi Dong here today, he, his Tang Sect, and even all of Shrek would become the laughingstock of the entire world!
The first to reach her was Yang Wudi's lethal strike with the Soul Breaking Spear!
Man and spear became a streak of pitch-black light in midair. A point of sharpness capable of piercing all techniques gathered at the spear's tip as it thrust straight toward Bibi Dong's brow!
Close behind came Tai Tan's Titan Sky Shatter, Niu Gao's Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon, and Bai He's ultimate speed...
Dugu Bo's emerald poisonous mist also spread silently, like maggots clinging to bone, sealing off every route Bibi Dong could use to evade.
At that moment, the combined assault of more than a dozen Soul Douluos became a net stretching across heaven and earth!
The people below the Judgment Platform had already been frightened out of their wits, trembling beneath this world-destroying pressure.
This was combat at the very pinnacle of the continent!
Yet, faced with this certain death—
Bibi Dong finally moved.
She merely... gently raised her right hand.
Buzzz—!
A deep violet halo suddenly spread outward from her body!
Death Spider Emperor, ninth soul skill—Undying Body!
No, it was not merely Undying Body!
Within that deep violet halo lay an even stranger layer of dark green domain energy!
Divine Slaughter's Domain evolution—Death Domain!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The instant Yang Wudi's supposedly unstoppable Soul Breaking Spear touched the violet halo, the sharpness at its tip rapidly weakened, and its speed plummeted.
Tai Tan and Niu Gao's heavy, powerful attacks were like clay oxen sinking into the sea. Their raging soul power was devoured voraciously, vanishing without a trace.
And the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison Dugu Bo took such pride in reacted like a subject meeting its sovereign the instant it touched that dark green domain. Not only did it fail to penetrate in the slightest, it was instantly assimilated and absorbed!
"What?!"
Dugu Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
His poison had failed?!
No, it had been completely suppressed!
When it came to lethal poison, this woman's domain was actually more terrifying than his power as a Titled Douluo who specialized in poison!
In the flash of a spark, everyone's first wave of attacks was effortlessly neutralized by the domain Bibi Dong had released with a lift of her hand!
She had not even moved her feet an inch!
Dead silence fell over the square.
The sight before them shocked everyone until their minds went blank.
Those were more than a dozen Titled Douluos!
Among them were veteran experts such as Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo!
Yet their combined strike... could not even touch the hem of her clothes?
Just what terrifying heights had this woman's strength reached?!
"Is this... Teacher's true power?"
On the Judgment Platform, Hu Liena gazed spellbound at that dignified, regal figure, wonder shimmering in her beautiful eyes.
She knew her teacher was powerful, that she stood at the continent's summit.
But she had never imagined her teacher could be this strong!
Single-handedly confronting more than a dozen experts, yet remaining as serene as drifting clouds and a gentle breeze!
What overwhelming might! What peerless splendor!
At that moment, Tang San's heart sank to rock bottom.
He knew Bibi Dong was powerful, but by his estimate, she was at most a level 98 Peerless Douluo.
Although his side had no expert at the same level, they had the advantage of numbers!
With more than a dozen experts joining forces, even if they could not kill her, they should have been able to severely wound her!
Yet the reality before his eyes had dealt him a vicious slap across the face.
He had been wrong.
Outrageously wrong!
Her strength had already surpassed anything that "numbers" could compensate for!
Just as Tang San reeled in shock, Bibi Dong's gaze passed through the surrounding figures and settled on him.
A faint trace of mockery lay in that gaze.
"Tang San."
"This is the force you're so proud of?"
"A pack of clay chickens and earthen dogs, and you dare act so insolently before me?"
"You!"
Yang Wudi and the others were both shocked and furious. As Titled Douluos, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?!
They were about to launch another attack when an even more terrifying pressure descended from the sky!
BOOM—!
The sky seemed to tear apart at that moment.
A black hammer so enormous that it blotted out the sky and sun came crashing down from the clouds, bearing an unparalleled oppressive force!
Before the hammer even reached them, its violent gale had already forced the ground across Heaven Dou Square to crack inch by inch!
