Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with a cold, eerie purple light as she looked down upon Tang San, who refused to submit.
A cruel, greedy smile appeared on her exquisitely beautiful yet sinister face.
"Tang San, did you think you could get away?"
"I'll gladly take that Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone of yours."
Bibi Dong pressed her jade-white hand downward.
Tang San felt as though his internal organs were being crushed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Under the pressure of this force, the Soul Power within him went out of control.
Accompanied by the teeth-grating sound of grinding bones, eight sharp, purple-black spider legs, glistening with deadly poison, burst uncontrollably from his back.
The trump card Tang San took such pride in-the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone!
Bibi Dong stared fixedly at those eight spider legs, as though she were looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
For her, whose Twin Martial Souls were the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor, the value of this Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone far exceeded even a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"What a treasure... what a treasure!"
With a casual squeeze, Bibi Dong rendered Xiao Wu, who was still struggling desperately in her grip, unconscious and tossed her beside her feet like garbage.
Then she reached out, purple-black light flickering at her fingertips, and slowly moved her hand toward the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back.
Just as Bibi Dong was about to tear the Eight Spider Lances from Tang San's spine-
"Bibi Dong! Don't you dare hurt my nephew!"
Tang Xiao's eyes nearly split with rage, and the Soul Power throughout his body burned wildly like an erupting volcano.
The ninth Soul Ring beneath his feet, as deep and dark as ink, lit up. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand swelled to a hundred feet and crashed down toward Bibi Dong's head with the might to destroy heaven and earth.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Clear Sky Annihilation!"
Facing a blow powerful enough to kill an ordinary Titled Douluo in an instant, Bibi Dong did not even raise her head.
"Soul-Eating Spider Emperor True Body."
Dense purple-black light enveloped her body, and her lower half rapidly swelled and transformed into an enormous, hideous Soul-Eating Spider Emperor.
Eight purple-black spider legs, thick as pillars and covered in barbs, shot out from her back and braced against the Clear Sky Hammer crashing down like a mountain.
Amid a deafening crash, the violent energy shock wave scraped a thick layer clean off the surrounding ground.
Yet Bibi Dong, at the center of the storm, did not budge.
Those eight spider legs not only steadily caught Tang Xiao's full-force blow, but did not even develop a single crack.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Everyone present, including Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo, stared in disbelief and horror.
Tang Xiao was a level-96 Peak Douluo, and he had even unleashed his most overpowering ninth Soul Skill.
Just how terrifying was this woman's strength?!
While everyone reeled in shock, Tang Hao, who had just been gravely wounded by a single move from Bibi Dong, finally managed to struggle to his feet with the full support of Ning Fengzhi's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
He saw his own son pinned beneath Bibi Dong's foot, with even his External Soul Bone about to be forcibly stripped away.
Tang Hao's eyes turned blood-red, and towering fury and killing intent surged into the heavens.
"Bibi Dong! How dare you torment my son like this!!!"
Tang Hao recklessly tried to charge forward and fight to the death.
But all he could do was watch-
Bibi Dong's hand had already plunged mercilessly into Tang San's back.
She forcibly tore out the Eight Spider Lances, which were tightly connected to Tang San's spine, roots and all.
"Aaaah!!!"
Tang San let out an utterly heartrending scream before losing consciousness completely, his blood staining the ground beneath him red.
"Little San!" Tang Hao and Tang Xiao cried out in despair at the same time.
"What a perfect fit..."
Murmuring to herself, Bibi Dong pressed the Eight Spider Lances against her own back without hesitation.
Hum!
Since both her martial souls were spiders, this Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone's compatibility with her was practically at the maximum.
Almost instantly, the eight purple-black spider legs fused perfectly with her spine, becoming part of her body.
Feeling the power within her surge once again, Bibi Dong stretched the Eight Spider Lances on her back in satisfaction, the eight sharp spider legs whistling through the air.
Having witnessed Bibi Dong's despair-inducing strength firsthand, Ning Fengzhi, who had been staying in the rear to provide support, was now drenched in cold sweat and beginning to think of retreat.
He knew this battle could no longer be fought.
If they kept fighting, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be buried alongside the Clear Sky Sect.
As though sensing Ning Fengzhi's intention to retreat, Bibi Dong gave him an indifferent glance and spoke casually:
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Ning Fengzhi, I'm in a good mood today. As long as you're willing to bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into submission to me, I won't target you. As for the Clear Sky Sect..."
She turned her gaze toward Tang Xiao and the others with a cruel sneer. "All of you will be staying here."
Before her words had faded, Bibi Dong vanished from where she stood.
"Watch out!" Tang Xiao roared.
But it was too late.
Squelch!
A chilling, muffled sound rang out.
Bibi Dong appeared behind a Clear Sky Sect elder like a specter.
The Eight Spider Lances she had just fused with pierced the chest of that level-92 Titled Douluo.
"Urgh..." The elder's eyes widened, his face filled with terror.
The next second, a terrifying poison poured wildly into his body through the spider legs.
His once-powerful vitality was ravenously devoured by Bibi Dong at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few short breaths, a Titled Douluo with tenacious vitality was drained into a dried corpse before everyone's eyes.
"Fourth Brother!" Overcome with grief and rage, another Clear Sky Sect elder turned to flee.
"Trying to run? Did you think you could get away?" Bibi Dong sneered.
Tang Xiao's eyes nearly split with rage. He bit the tip of his tongue and forcibly squeezed out the Soul Power within him, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand erupted with brilliant black light once more.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Qian Jun Barrier!"
Tang Xiao mustered all his strength, using his eighth Soul Skill to form a thick black wall of energy in midair, trying to block Bibi Dong's pursuit.
At the same time, he roared at the elder and Tang Hao, "Hurry! Take Little San and go!"
Bibi Dong cast a contemptuous glance at the wall of energy.
The purple-black light around her receded, and a deeper, purer aura of death emerged!
She switched between her Twin Martial Souls-the Death Spider Emperor!
"Eighth Soul Skill: Spider Emperor Clone!"
Whoosh!
A purple clone, identical to Bibi Dong's true body, with even its aura exactly the same, separated from her.
The clone ignored Tang Xiao's defenses entirely and turned into a streak of lightning, pursuing the fleeing Clear Sky Sect elder directly.
At this sight, Ning Fengzhi could no longer concern himself with any alliance pledging that the Upper Three Sects would stand together as branches of the same tree.
He exchanged a glance with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and all three understood without a word.
"Rongrong, let's go!"
Bone Douluo grabbed Ning Rongrong, who had been hiding in the rear, while Sword Douluo guarded Ning Fengzhi's side.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three turned into streaks of light and fled into the distance without looking back.
