Chapter 338: The Battle for Spirit City Settled
"Huff, huff, huff!"
After a while, Bibi Dong's body finally reformed under the effect of Undying Body.
But now, her face was pale and bloodless, and a look of fear flashed in her eyes.
Just moments ago, Bibi Dong truly felt the threat of death. She even suspected that if it hadn't been for that mysterious power boosting her strength, plus her torso bone skill offsetting part of the attack, that blow might have exceeded the limit of Undying Body and killed her on the spot.
"Xiao Yu, you win this time. But we'll meet again—I'll collect this debt one day!"
With a cold shout, Bibi Dong turned into a shooting star and fled toward the outskirts of the city.
"Trying to escape?"
Xiao Yu was about to give chase, but suddenly, a crimson light fell from the sky, coming straight at him.
"Damn Asura God!"
Xiao Yu cursed and swung his Death Scythe to meet the incoming energy.
Another earth-shattering explosion erupted. Violent currents swept out in all directions as the two energies clashed.
After a long time, the sky finally returned to calm, and Bibi Dong was nowhere to be seen.
—
God Realm, Asura God Hall.
The Asura God slowly lowered his right arm. A visible crack had appeared on his palm. Xiao Yu's slash had followed the attack and, crossing planes, injured his true body.
His face grew dark. Even though he had restrained his power this time to avoid getting caught by the God of Destruction, it was still a god-level attack from the Asura God.
But Xiao Yu, a mortal who hadn't even reached rank 100, already showed the potential to contend with gods!
"Asura, why did you save that woman who inherited the Rakshasa God's position?"
At that moment, the Sea God's voice sounded in his ear.
This ally, who had been working with him all along, had appeared at some point and was now watching the big screen. He asked, "That woman was always meant to be a grindstone for Tang San. Wouldn't it be better to just let her die?"
The Asura God kept his back to the Sea God, not wanting his ally to see the wound on his right hand. His voice was cold, emotionless. "Things have changed. That Xiao Yu is too powerful. Keeping the Rakshasa God's successor alive might prove useful at a crucial moment."
The Sea God frowned slightly. "But don't forget, the Rakshasa God's successor is close to the Angel God's successor. Why would she help Tang San?"
"In all the ages you've seen, have you ever encountered a mother and daughter like that?"
The Asura God glanced back at the Sea God. "That Rakshasa successor's heart has long been devoured by endless resentment.
So-called mother-daughter affection won't awaken unless it's the final moment. Before then, Xiao Yu should already be eliminated by their combined efforts. Once that variable is gone, Tang San and that young man, Dai Mubai, who inherited the God of War's position, will handle the rest."
"Actually…"
The Sea God looked conflicted and glanced at the Asura God's right hand, carefully hidden. Although the Asura God never turned around, the Sea God had already noticed the wound. He simply pretended not to, to spare his ally the embarrassment.
Seeing the Sea God hesitate, the Asura God asked, "What is it you want to say?"
The Sea God sighed and shook his head. "It's nothing. I'll head back to my own temple to check on Tang San's Sea God trial."
With that, he flashed away and disappeared from the Asura God Hall.\In fact, what the Sea God really wanted to say was that, in talent, strength, and temperament, Xiao Yu completely outclassed Tang San.
Maybe they should consider supporting Xiao Yu instead. After all, he was also a twin martial soul wielder, and his main martial soul could inherit the Asura God's position. With his current power, they could easily gather the faith of most people on the Douluo Continent.
But, considering Xiao Yu's relationship with the Angel God's successor—and the fact that his second martial soul carried the power of the fallen Death God, who was secretly targeted and killed by them—the sides were already irreconcilable. So he gave up on this idea.
—
In Spirit City, after clashing directly with the Asura God's attack, Xiao Yu staggered back more than ten meters before regaining his balance.
"Asura God, just wait. One day, I'll drag you—this sanctimonious hypocrite—off your pedestal!"
Xiao Yu sneered inwardly. Looking around, he saw that among Spirit Hall's ranks, only Ghost Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo were still putting up a last stand. But they wouldn't last long—Eden, Ikki, Zilong, and many other powerful fighters had already surrounded them.
On the battlefield below, Hu Liena was nowhere to be found. She had likely been taken away by Bibi Dong while Xiao Yu was fighting the Asura God. Without their leader, Xie Yue, Yan, and the others looked completely lost.
Xiao Yu didn't bother to attack Ghost Douluo and the others any further. Standing high above with his hands behind his back, he used his soul power to send his voice echoing through every corner of Spirit City:
"Bibi Dong has fled. Anyone from Spirit Hall willing to submit shall live; those who resist shall be killed without mercy!"
Ghost Douluo and the other two Title Douluo shuddered at these words. Quickly gathering together, they exchanged uneasy glances.
Eden, Ikki, Zilong, Huo Wu, Rong Dou, Cang Mo, Yuna, Yang Wudi, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and the other Nine Star Hall Title Douluo surrounded them in a circle. If the three hesitated or said anything defiant, they'd immediately be struck down.
"Old Ghost, give up. At this point, we've done enough for Bibi Dong!"
At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's anxious voice called from below, looking up at Ghost Douluo. After decades of friendship, he truly couldn't bear to watch his best friend die here.
"Chrysanthemum Guan…"
Ghost Douluo gave Chrysanthemum Douluo a complicated look, let out a heavy sigh, and withdrew his martial soul, slowly descending to the ground, giving up the fight.
Serpent Spear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo exchanged glances, also withdrew their martial souls, and followed Ghost Douluo down.
Although their close partners—Demon Bear Douluo and Thornfish Douluo—had already fallen, their relationship wasn't the same as that of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who even shared a martial soul fusion skill and were as close as brothers. At best, they were just good colleagues, not close enough to die avenging each other.
