Chapter 37: Bibi Dong, the Goddess of Slaughter, Her Last Hope.
"In that case, the Yu Clan is probably in trouble..."
Tang Xiao and the elders around him all had grim expressions.
The arena was already sealed off, and no one could stop them.
On the arena, looking at Bibi Dong with six spirit rings, the captain of the Yu Clan rallied their morale, saying, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Our absolute defense might not be something she can break through. No matter how strong she is, she's only one person. The combined defense and attack of the seven of us might be enough to defeat a Soul Emperor. As one of the four affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect, we absolutely cannot bring shame to the Clear Sky Sect."
The captain's words indeed invigorated the six members of the Yu Clan beside him.
"That's right, the Spirit Hall's attempt to establish its prestige among all sects by defeating us one by one is absolutely impossible..."
"We absolutely cannot lose..."
The gray armor on the seven of them suddenly darkened even more, and they formed a circle, beginning to approach Bibi Dong.
Although the Yu Clan excelled in defense, it would be a grave mistake to think they had no offensive power.
A rhinoceros horn possesses immense offensive power…
In the next moment, all seven members unleashed their third soul skills.
"Rhinoceros Iron Horn…"
The third soul rings on the seven members of the Yu Clan all lit up, and then black rhinoceros horns grew from their rhinoceros armor.
Seven people, seven rhinoceros iron horns, plus their combined absolute defense—extremely difficult to break through. Offense and defense in one—this was the Yu Clan's tactic.
"Let's go…" With the captain's shout, the seven members of the Yu Clan immediately turned, their seven rhinoceros iron horns charging towards Bibi Dong on the arena.
Bibi Dong's figure vanished instantly. After absorbing the external soul bone, the Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, Bibi Dong's speed had reached its limit. The seven members of the Yu Clan charged several times, but Bibi Dong easily dodged them all.
"First Soul Skill, Death Spider Bone Possession…"
Four snow-white bone spurs immediately grew from Bibi Dong's two snow-white arms. This was the same one she had used against Lin Fan in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The eight extra bone spikes on Bibi Dong didn't diminish her beauty in the slightest; instead, they added a touch of domineering power.
She swung the four bone spikes in her right hand, immediately aiming them at the absolute defense of the seven members of the Yu Clan…
*Bang!*
The bone spikes, with their immense penetrating power, instantly pierced the rhinoceros armor of one of the Yu Clan members, spurting out blood, though not at a vital point.
"Quick, spin! Attack her together! Use your fourth soul skill!"
The Yu Clan captain was shocked. The seven immediately began spinning, replacing the injured member with their own. The seven rhinoceros horns swirled menacingly.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Steel Rhinoceros Charge!"
In the next moment, all five Soul Masters in the team used their fourth soul skill. The rhinoceros horns on their bodies turned purple and contained potent poison.
Simultaneously, the seven's spinning speed increased dramatically, charging towards Bibi Dong like a charging bull.
While one person's soul power alone wouldn't threaten Bibi Dong, the combined power of seven was immense.
This time, Bibi Dong didn't dodge. She immediately used eight bone spikes to block the seven spinning rhinoceros horns, her soul power surging within her. But as the seven members of the Yu Clan continued to spin faster, she began to retreat step by step.
She could actually withstand such a powerful attack from seven people all by herself…
Was this the power of a Soul Emperor?
Many people in the stands were stunned, their eyes wide open, but as Bibi Dong retreated further, it seemed she couldn't hold on any longer.
After all, the combined absolute defense of seven people was a perfect blend of offense and defense. The Yu Clan, possessing the Rhinoceros Martial Soul, also had extremely strong endurance and stamina…
Lin Fan in the stands was slightly worried, but Bibi Dong seemed to have only used her first Soul Skill; she probably had many trump cards up her sleeve for the finals.
"Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Binding…"
Bibi Dong's third Soul Ring lit up, and a deep purple spider web instantly appeared beneath the feet of the seven members of the Yu Clan, simultaneously releasing purple poison gas that immediately enveloped them completely.
Enveloped in the poisonous gas, the seven members of the Yu Clan could no longer see Bibi Dong. The deep purple spiderweb continued to expand, completely covering their faces, mouths, and noses. The toxins on the web, combined with the poisonous gas, immediately threw them into disarray, halting their spinning attacks.
The Yu Clan member who had been injured earlier could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
Bibi Dong immediately leaped into the air, wielding her white Death Spider Bone, and struck down from above the seven people. Their absolute defenses instantly crumbled, and the seven figures wrapped in the spider webs were sent flying, falling to various parts of the arena.
After the poison gas dissipated, the seven members of the Yu Clan were completely incapacitated. Their faces were all black, and the combination of poison and paralysis from the spider webs caused them to convulse on the arena.
At this moment, the seven members of the Yu Clan had no ability to escape the arena.
"Let...let us go..."
The captain who had spoken earlier uttered a weak, trembling voice. Bibi Dong slowly approached one of the Yu Clan members, her gaze slightly glancing towards the VIP platform. There, she saw Qian Xunji and several elders from the Spirit Hall gesturing to her.
Kill...this was the Spirit Hall's order...
Every year in the preliminary rounds, teams that defeated the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated sects were to be killed...
This did not violate the competition rules, and it also severely suppressed the Clear Sky Sect's prestige. Since it was the affiliated sect that died, the Clear Sky Sect had no reason to retaliate.
"If I let them go, I will surely be punished by the Spirit Hall today. If my condition is exposed prematurely, I will have no chance to escape from this Fighting Spirit Mountain."
Indeed, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, deliberately disobeying orders would inevitably result in punishment. In the past, Bibi Dong could endure the punishment, but now, she was pregnant…
She couldn't be punished; she feared harming her child, and she couldn't be discovered, otherwise, there would be no chance of escape.
Bibi Dong knew she couldn't wait much longer, so on this Fighting Spirit Mountain, she prepared a final escape plan. Although the chances of success were slim, it was her last hope.
It was also her last hope to save herself and her child…
"I'm sorry, I have no other choice…"
Bibi Dong's eyes immediately turned cold. She swung the four bone spikes in her right hand, piercing the body of one of the Yu Clan members.
Blood splattered…the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth…
After killing five people, the last two were thrown off the arena, unconscious.
Bibi Dong stood on the arena, her hands stained with blood, like a goddess of death, a witch. Her eyes, at this moment, were so empty and cold, devoid of any emotion.
"The Spirit Hall versus the Yu Clan, the Spirit Hall wins. The arena is now closed..."
With the announcement from the female host on the floating platform, the restrictions on the arena were lifted, and Bibi Dong stepped down. Chrysanthemum Douluo and two Spirit Hall elders immediately led her away from the Soul Arena.
On the VIP platform, Qian Xunji smiled victoriously, thinking, "Well done, that's my good disciple. It seems I was overthinking it; her heart is still with the Spirit Hall."
Around the arena, however, a cacophony of voices erupted. Some condemned her cruelty, some marveled at her power, and some praised her beauty.
"Bibi Dong, you've gone too far! How could you be so cruel to a subsidiary sect of my Clear Sky Sect? When the finals come, I'll make you pay..."
On the stands, Tang Huo'er's eyes turned cold. She clenched her fists, seemingly itching to rush up and fight Bibi Dong to the death.
Liu Erlong, beside her, also stared wide-eyed at the people from Douhun Mountain clearing the arena, then silently glanced at Lin Fan.
Liu Erlong knew, of course, that there seemed to be something between Lin Fan and Bibi Dong, but she hadn't told Tang Huo'er or the others from the Clear Sky Sect.
"Senior Sister, don't say anything more. She had no choice..." Lin Fan sighed silently; he had already vaguely guessed what was going on.
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Tang Huo'er suddenly turned her face, her eyes icy cold, and said, "What do you mean by 'not having control'? In the preliminary rounds, aside from the Demonic Sect and the Evil Soul Master sects, I've never used such force on the arena. Even if the Clear Sky Sect gave me such an order, I wouldn't carry it out."
Lin Fan raised his head, looked at Tang Huo'er, and said calmly.
"You can refuse. Your family, friends, and elders are all with the Clear Sky Sect. You are the apple of their eye; no one dares to do anything to you. But she isn't. She's in the Spirit Hall, without any relatives, friends, or freedom. You wouldn't understand that feeling..."
