Care to wager? If Yu Xiaogang comes, I'll let you both go?

Bibi Dong loosely clasped her hands together.

The giant scythe slowly rose with her movement.

"Drink----!"

A sharp cry!

A double-arm slash!

Laugh------!!

A spiraling, eerie green wave erupted with a deafening roar!

Wherever the waves passed, the air was plowed open, creating a twisted ravine, and the wind swirled backward.

The Bluestone ground in front of the main hall of the Spirit Hall is cracked inch by inch.

With a terrifying sharpness capable of slicing through flesh and severing the soul, it aimed straight for Soronson!

Soronson crossed his arms, looked at the sky filled with green light, and gently shook his head.

"Look at this huge operation."

"Not bad at intimidating people."

"In reality—it's quite average."

He didn't move.

They weren't even bothered to blink.

Just quietly watching the spiraling waves descend, inch by inch.

Ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Five zhang (approximately 10 meters).

One zhang (approximately 3.3 meters).

Just as it was about to be cut in front of me--

Buzz.

The Chaos power surrounding Soronson, like Ink Black beast awakening, silently opened its mouth.

laugh----

The spiraling waves were completely swallowed up.

There was no explosion.

There were no aftershocks.

Even the slightest sound was completely swallowed up.

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.

Is this... the power of the God King?

Her Ninth Soul Skill, a strike she unleashed with all her might!

The other person didn't even change their posture.

They couldn't even touch the edge of the other's body.

Just as she was in a state of shock...

The Chaos energy surrounding Soronson suddenly coalesced.

Ink Black light swirled and coalesced into a bundle.

Shoot it out directly!

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.

How terrifying...

Just by seeing it, I could sense that it was something I could never touch.

However, Bibi Dong still took action.

A sickle held horizontally across his chest!

The Soul Power of the Twin Martial Souls surged wildly from their limbs and bones, pouring entirely into the scythe.

All of his Soul Power was unleashed, without reservation!

"Laugh------!!"

The Chaos stream of light collided with the barrier of Soul Power.

like water off a duck's back.

The sickle shattered with a crack!

The Ink Black streak of light did not stop at all, piercing through the shattered staff and penetrating Bibi Dong's chest!

Puff--!

Blood gushed out, Bibi Dong's body flew backward, crashing heavily in front of the main hall.

He collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterwards--

"Click, click, click..."

The Twin Martial Souls phantoms behind her shattered like a mirror.

The ferocious giant head of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor scattered into a sky full of green light.

The terrifying giant shadow of the Death Spider Emperor turned into specks of ashes.

Six dark green Spider Spear, severed at the root.

Layers of dark green armor peeled away, revealing a blood-stained figure beneath.

Martial Soul, shattered.

Cultivation, devouring.

In a single battle, they plummeted from the peak of level 99 back into the abyss.

On the ground.

Bibi Dong thought she was dead.

But after a long time, the expected complete dissipation never came.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Looking down at the pierced chest, blood was still flowing, but strangely, it wasn't fatal.

That wisp of Chaos power did not continue to devour.

Instead, it was like a dark chain, steadily suspending her life.

Bibi Dong raised her head and looked at the figure in the air.

You're not going to kill me?

An absurd thought even flashed through her mind.

Could it be... that I'm too beautiful?

Soronson looked down at her, seemingly seeing right through her pathetic thoughts.

"If it were Rey, he might show her some chivalry."

"I wouldn't!"

"I'm not letting you die because you're still useful."

"I?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

Soronson smiled.

"After all--"

"You and Yu Xiaogang, you must be lovers, right?"

"Yu Xiaogang has disappeared."

"Although we know the approximate location, we're not qualified to go find it ourselves."

"So..."

He leaned down, the mockery in his single eye almost touching him.

"We need your cooperation."

Bibi Dong froze.

In an instant, she understood everything.

"You want me to lure out Yu Xiaogang?"

She stared at Soronson, a mocking smile creeping across her blood-stained face.

Stop dreaming.

"Impossible."

Even if you kill me--

"No, it can!"

Soronson looked down at Bibi Dong, whose body was covered in blood, his tone filled with sarcasm.

"I never knew you were such a romantic. It's just a pity your lover abandoned you."

"You like a man like that? I heard he had a woman with him when he ran away, tsk tsk."

Bibi Dong was covered in blood, and her once cold and beautiful face instantly turned ashen.

She clenched her blood-stained hand tightly, gritted her teeth, and stubbornly raised her head to roar.

"So what? You don't understand Yu Xiaogang at all!!!"

On the distant Holy Spirit Continent, countless Soul Master stared at the Heavenly Screen, bursting into laughter and discussing amongst themselves.

[Wei Lai: My God, they've been abandoned like this, and they're still stubbornly defending others!]

[Zhou Yue: Isn't this woman really that stupid? Are all the people in the Douluo Continent mentally unstable?!]

[Xiao Tian: He's taking a beauty to escape disaster and save his life, while she's here with her Martial Soul shattered and at everyone's mercy. This infatuation is laughable! And she even tried to defend him... She couldn't hold back!]

Bibi Dong gazed at the mocking Heavenly Screen, then stared intently at Soronson, her eyes filled with obsession.

Soronson then spoke.

"Don't understand? All I know is that he didn't abandon me!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's words were firm.

"That's smart. With his strength, he has no chance of saving me. Running away is his only way to survive."

"It's better for one person to die than for two to die together!"

Soronson narrowed his single eye, his face full of indifferent mockery.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone as stupid as you, so stupid it's beyond redemption."

Lingxiao, Ao Che, and the others beside him remained silent, their expressions speechless.

I simply can't understand how such a twisted thought process could exist in the world.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, raised her head, and roared in her voice.

"If he can save my life, he will definitely come!!!"

A playful smile curved Soronson's lips.

"Interesting. Since you're so fixated on this, how about we make a bet?"

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed.

How so?

Soronson looked down at him, his tone indifferent and cold.

"If he dares to come and rescue you himself, I will acknowledge your relationship and let you both leave today."

His tone shifted abruptly, revealing a sudden murderous intent.

"But if he doesn't dare to come, you'll be the biggest clown in all of Douluo's history, forever nailed to the Pillar of Shame. Then, you can end your own life; don't dirty my hands."

Bibi Dong's eyes were resolute, and she gritted her teeth in response.

"Fine! I'll bet you!"

The entire process was broadcast live from the Heavenly Screen, and every word was transmitted to Yu Xiaogang's ears in the Far North Ice Plains.

Everyone knows that.

This gamble was never about friendship.

The gamble is on whether Yu Xiaogang's fear of death can outweigh his last remaining feigned tenderness towards Bibi Dong.

I'm betting he might think it's a trap and be too afraid to show himself.

The Far North.

Yu Xiaogang gazed at the Heavenly Screen amidst the heavy snow, pursed his lips, and remained silent, lost in thought...
