Bibi Dong's body shone brightly with purple light, followed by two yellow rings, two purple rings, four black rings, and one red ring. Her nine spirit rings suddenly rose up, radiating a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts tremble.
Her entire body was covered in dark green armor, and eight sharp spears extended from her back like ferocious spider legs, exuding an aura of death.
The First Martial Soul: Death Spider Emperor!
At the same time, another emerald green light emanated from her body, revealing another set of nine spirit rings with the exact same configuration, except that the red 100,000-year spirit ring was even deeper in color.
Second Martial Soul: Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor!
Twin martial souls, eighteen soul rings!
This is the source of her confidence as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, standing at the pinnacle of the continent!
Seeing her teacher display his full strength, Hu Liena's previously flustered heart calmed down, and admiration rekindled in her eyes.
"Teachers are invincible!"
Bibi Dong hovered in the air, the auras of her two martial souls intertwined, forming a poisonous cloud of dark green and emerald green. She looked down at Sikong Zhen, her voice filled with resentment and venom.
"How dare a mere barbarian be so insolent in front of me!"
"Today, I'll show you what it truly means to be the number one person below the god level!"
"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Binding!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Eternal Creation!"
With a single move, she combined two powerful soul skills.
A gigantic purple net, covering the sky and earth, appeared out of thin air and descended upon Sikong Zhen.
The giant net is coated with a potent poison and a strong paralyzing effect, enough to render any titled Douluo immobile.
Following closely behind was a dark green beam of light imbued with the aura of death.
Wherever this beam of light passed, the space itself was slightly distorted. The energy contained within would cause wounds that would never heal once they struck the target!
Faced with an attack that would horrify even an ordinary Title Douluo, Sikong Zhen's face remained completely expressionless.
He merely raised his eyelids, glanced at the overwhelming spiderwebs and beams of light, and uttered two words.
"Boring."
The moment he finished speaking, the five thunder drums behind him shook violently!
"Boom!"
No soul skills were used; it was solely the power of the martial soul itself.
A visible golden shockwave of lightning spread out from him!
The seemingly indestructible purple spider web was destroyed the moment it came into contact with the lightning shockwave.
Like ice and snow under the scorching sun, it melts away instantly, leaving not a trace.
The dark green pillar of light, imbued with the laws of death, was directly dispersed by the violent power of thunder, turning into countless specks of light.
"What?!"
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted, her face filled with horror.
Her two powerful soul skills, which she was so proud of, were so easily broken by the other party?
How is this possible?!
This was beyond her understanding of the Soul Master power system!
Before she could recover from her shock, Sikong Zhen had already disappeared from the spot.
"Too slow."
A powerful voice rang in her ears.
Alarm bells rang in Bibi Dong's mind, and the hairs on her body stood on end. Without thinking, the eight spider spears on her back became like the sharpest spears, stabbing fiercely in the direction from which the sound came!
However, it was all in vain.
A fist larger than her head, enveloped in surging golden lightning, struck her in the abdomen with tremendous force, arriving after her.
"Bang!"
A dull, loud bang.
Bibi Dong's dark green armor was instantly covered in cracks before it exploded.
She flew backward like a cannonball, a mouthful of blood drawing a tragic arc in the air.
"teacher!"
Hu Liena gasped in surprise, her face turning deathly pale.
Sikong Zhen reappeared in the path of Bibi Dong's backward flight. He spread his five fingers, grabbed Bibi Dong's hair, and forcibly pulled her to a stop in mid-air.
"You...you dare..."
Bibi Dong's mouth was bleeding, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and anger. She was about to say something when Sikong Zhen had already lost his patience.
"A noisy woman."
With a flick of his arm, he slammed Bibi Dong to the ground as if throwing away trash.
"boom--!"
The earth cracked, dust billowed, and a huge, human-shaped crater appeared on the mountain peak.
Sikong Zhen slowly descended, standing on the edge of the pit, looking down at Bibi Dong at the bottom of the pit with an indifferent gaze.
"Divine Skill: Thunderous Might".
He slowly raised his hand, palm facing the bottom of the pit.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically. An invisible force stirred the clouds in the sky, forming a huge thundercloud vortex.
Golden lightning bolts streaked through the clouds, producing a deafening roar.
An aura of destruction enveloped the entire world.
Bibi Dong struggled to get up from the bottom of the pit, but when she felt the power above her head that was enough to make her soul disappear, fear finally showed on her face.
"No...stop!!"
She screamed in terror.
Sikong Zhen remained expressionless as he swung his arm down suddenly.
"Boom!"
A golden lightning bolt, thicker than a mountain, descended from the sky and struck Bibi Dong with perfect accuracy.
"Aaaaaah—!"
A piercing scream, so shrill it was inhuman, echoed through the sky, only to be instantly drowned out by a violent clap of thunder.
The golden light was blinding, and everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
Hu Liena felt a white blur before her eyes, and all she could hear was the crackling of lightning and the destructive aura that made her soul tremble.
After an unknown amount of time, the light faded.
The original mountain peaks have disappeared, replaced by a bottomless pit with smooth, mirror-like walls, still bearing traces of melting and flickering electric arcs.
At the very center of the giant pit, a human-shaped charcoal lay there, its body emitting blue smoke, and occasionally twitching.
It was Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
At this moment, she had lost all trace of the Pope's majesty.
His hair stood on end, as black as charcoal, and his face and body were covered in electric shock marks. His mouth was slightly open, and a wisp of white foam slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Her whole body was numb, she didn't have the strength to move a single finger, only her eyes could still move, filled with endless fear and confusion.
Sikong Zhen slowly landed beside her, as if looking at an ant.
"By order of His Majesty, we will teach those ungrateful people a lesson."
"Remember, this is the Tang Dynasty, not a place where you can run wild."
After saying that, he didn't look at Bibi Dong again, turned around and soared into the sky, transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing into the horizon.
...
The Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, in front of the imperial palace.
Qianyu, along with Gongsun Li and Qian Renxue, had just arrived here.
The three of them looked up at the sky that hung high in the heavens.
When she saw the contents of the list, Qian Renxue's usually calm and pretty face showed a look of astonishment for the first time.
"Five Thunderclaps?"
She murmured the unfamiliar name, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"What kind of martial spirit is this? Why have I never heard of it before? How could it be ranked twelfth?"
