The Tide Turns

"Young Master... aren't we going to join the battle now?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his arms crossed on the city wall of Jialing Pass, watching the battle between the two high-level forces in the distance. If they could enter the fray now while Bibi Dong was temporarily gaining the upper hand against two opponents, they should be able to secure victory in one fell swoop. Although the appearance of the dozen or so Holy Spirit Cult Titled Douluo surprised them, the strength of newly-minted Titled Douluo was indeed insufficient in front of these elders, all of whom were above level 95.

"What's the rush? Bibi Dong currently holds the advantage. If we intervene now, they'll just think we're meddling. Offering help in times of need is more appropriate than adding to someone's success. Besides... did you notice that masked woman over there? I think she's the most crucial figure in the Holy Spirit Cult..."

Temporarily trapped in an illusion, Qian Renxue's body was now occupied by Inner Qian Renxue. Although her appearance was still the same as before, her undisguised allure and unintentional small movements were still easy to discern. Fortunately, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others had not been in contact with Qian Renxue for long. If it were Pufferfish She Long and the others, they would probably have become suspicious long ago.

"Tang San, is this all you've got? You've really disappointed me..."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly is the number one Auxiliary System Soul Master on the continent. Bibi Dong was currently restricted by the Rakshasa God's God Trial and was unable to fully unleash her strength as a level 99 Limit Douluo. However, with the support and blessing of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she still managed to completely suppress Tang San and Zhong Meng.

"Hmph, relying solely on external forces. How dare you, the Empress of the Martial Spirit Hall Empire, speak so righteously? Don't you feel even a little shame?"

Tang San's words made Bibi Dong laugh out loud. She looked at the indignant Tang San, her narrow eyes giving a meaningful glance at the Sea Cucumber Trident in his hand, and said, "I think you've really lost your mind. Look at this divine weapon in your hand, and all those red Soul Ring, and those pieces of scrap metal you keep throwing at me. Forget it, I'm not wasting my breath on you. Prepare to die, Tang San!"

Wielding his Sea Cucumber Trident, Tang San deflected Bibi Dong's dark green Half Moon attack, shouting angrily, "What do you mean by 'worthless scrap metal'? This is Hidden Weapon from my Tang Sect! Fine, since you look down on my worthless scrap metal so much, I'll show you the true power of Hidden Weapon!"

After saying that, he threw a beautifully crafted fan-shaped Hidden Weapon at Bibi Dong. It was the Peacock Plume, which ranked third among the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. As soon as the Peacock Plume was thrown, Bibi Dong's keen senses detected the danger, and she immediately used the Spider Emperor Doppelganger. As it turned out, this action was indeed very correct. After the fan-shaped Hidden Weapon opened, it immediately shot out needles of various shapes at Bibi Dong and the people from the Spirit Hall Empire.

"Watch out for those shooting needles!"

After the first Bone-Piercing Needle struck Bibi Dong's defensive shield, its ability to completely ignore Soul Power startled her. In a panic, she hurriedly swung her hands, which had transformed into scythes, to block it. However, the terrifying power also prompted Bibi Dong Bibi Dong quickly warn her.

"Rongrong, be careful, he's really after you!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been of immense help to the people of the Spirit Hall Empire, and they are well aware of this. Therefore, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo have never strayed far from Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi, and even during battles, they pay extra attention to their condition, ready to protect them at any time.

But all of this happened too fast, and it was definitely premeditated. The six Holy Spirit Cult Titled Douluo who were fighting Sword Bone Douluo and Ning Rongrong were now acting like madmen, abandoning all defense and evasion. They rushed close to the two of them as if they were going to their deaths, preventing them from supporting Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi. Moreover, one by one, they swelled up like balloons as they approached and actually exploded.

Bibi Dong was extremely anxious, but the situation was that the Peacock Plume's attacks were relentless. If she abandoned her defense to protect Ning Rongrong and the other two, Zhong Meng, who was watching her closely, would definitely not let her have her way. Moreover, the self-destruction of the six Titled Douluo had also affected the battles of others. The situation had changed in an instant, Spirit Hall Empire was suddenly in trouble.

Furthermore, Bibi Dong noticed out of the corner of her eye that ten more Titled Douluo auras were rising from the allied forces of the two great empires. This was unbelievable to Bibi Dong, and felt like it was overturning her worldview. Were Titled Douluo as common as cabbages now? How could there be so many?

"Huo Wu!!! I'll kill you to avenge my teacher!!!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, I told you, I'll make you regret this. I'll ravage you to death, and let that Yu Tianshuang watch you panting and groaning beneath me!!!"

Just as everyone was marveling at this sudden change, the Shrek Seven Devils, who had been suppressed, suddenly unleashed a surge of black Soul Power, breaking through to the Titled Douluo level in an instant. It turned out that they had been hiding their strength all along, preparing for this full-scale explosion to take down the Spirit Hall Empire in one fell swoop!

"Zhu Zhuqing, stand behind me! Seventh Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Avatar! Eighth Soul Skill: Great Blaze Heaven Piercer!"

Perhaps the one who was most relaxed by the Peacock Plume's explosive attack was Huo Wu. These needles, which were powerful enough to Huo Wu through Soul Power, were Huo Wu before they could even touch Huo Wu's extremely high-temperature flames. Because of this, Huo Wu was able to devote more energy to helping others. However, the sudden burst of power from Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai greatly increased the pressure on Huo Wu.

A burst of blazing white flames erupted, colliding with the deathly black flames emanating from Ma Hongjun's body. In terms of flame quality, Huo Wu's Ultimate Fire was definitely superior to Ma Hongjun's. However, although this pitch-black flame vanished upon contact, its corrosive power, like a leech clinging to bone, slowly assimilated Huo Wu's flames, transforming them into his own pitch-black flames.

At this moment, Sword Bone Douluo and his companion were preoccupied with their own problems, Bibi Dong was also restrained, and Huo Wu and the others were suppressed. The situation suddenly turned around. As long as he dealt with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, victory would be within his grasp. Thinking of this, Tang San was extremely excited. He directly used his Divine Skill, "Gone Forever," to throw the Sea God Trident in his hand towards the location of Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi.

Eighth Soul Skill: Nine Treasure Divine Light Body Protection!

The Sea Cucumber Trident, moving at incredible speed, arrived before Ning Rongrong almost immediately after she activated her protective Soul Skill. With a "pop," even Ning Rongrong's protective Soul Skill Divine Skill, which was capable of being immune to all attacks below the Ninth Soul Skill and withstanding the Ninth Soul Skill, was as fragile as paper and shattered at the slightest touch against the divine skill unleashed by the artifact.

Fifth Soul Skill: Angel Holy Sword!

In this critical moment, a massive golden sword descended from the sky, colliding with Tang San's Sea God Trident. In that instant, a figure of extreme speed swept away Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi, Gone Forever. As expected of Divine Skill, even though it was blocked twice by Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword, it still transformed into a streak of light, shattering the golden sword and slamming it into the ground, causing a massive explosion.
