"Little Meng Bei, today I'll teach you one thing—that strength is the capital for speaking!"
Bibi Dong said angrily.
A powerful aura surged from her body, bearing down directly on Meng Bei.
Different from the killing intent brought by the Killing God Domain before,
Bibi Dong's pressure this time seemed to come from her martial soul itself.
The aura was laden with slaughter and destruction, and the abundant dark energy within it made people feel waves of discomfort.
"Little Meng Bei, you say you killed Ghost Leopard Douluo in a fair fight. This Pope's strength is comparable to Ghost Leopard Douluo's. Now, this Pope won't use her ninth spirit skill. If you can fight this Pope to a draw, this Pope will believe your claim. Otherwise, it was a despicable ambush by the Clear Sky Sect. If the culprit isn't handed over, this Pope will declare war on behalf of Spirit Hall against the Clear Sky Sect—a fight to the death!"
"Do you dare accept!"
Bibi Dong's fierce glare was directed straight at Meng Bei.
Meng Bei showed no fear.
He stepped forward.
Ning Fengzhi and Meng Gu, one on each side, hurriedly grabbed hold of Meng Bei.
"Dear son-in-law, Xiao Bei, don't be rash!"
Meng Bei pressed down the two elders' concerns and said confidently:
"Don't worry, I'm confident."
At the same time, he didn't forget to secretly transmit his voice to the several Title Douluo present.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Great-Uncle Bai, and several seniors—if I can't hold my own in a moment, everyone doesn't need to speak of jianghu morality with Spirit Hall. Just swarm forward together and capture Bibi Dong first. The Upper Three Sects share a common bond—our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will never hand over our own allies!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately stabilized morale and gained recognition from everyone present.
All the Title Douluo were ready to act at any moment.
No one believed Meng Bei would win.
Although Meng Bei had just withstood two attacks from Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, this only showed that Meng Bei's talent was heaven-defying and his defense powerful.
But to say Meng Bei could single-handedly confront a Title Douluo was undoubtedly absurd.
Therefore, everyone kept their eyes fixed on Meng Bei. As soon as his confrontation with Bibi Dong showed any signs of defeat, they would immediately act to capture Bibi Dong alive.
Spirit Hall was the common enemy of everyone.
Peaceful resolution was naturally best, but if peaceful resolution wasn't possible, then they could only resort to force.
Everyone understood the principle of mutual dependence—if they handed over the Clear Sky Sect now, who would help when their own side encountered the same situation in the future?
Of course, Blazing Sun Douluo was an exception.
Single-mindedly, he believed this matter was his fault alone. How could he implicate everyone?
He should take responsibility alone.
Little did he know, in the confrontation between major powers, what so-called right and wrong was there?
Victory or defeat was the fundamental determinant of everything!
Meng Bei stepped forward calmly, not showing the slightest trace of fear in his eyes.
"Your Holiness, please!"
Meng Bei proclaimed loudly.
Looking at the fearless Meng Bei, Bibi Dong's eyes showed some surprise and some admiration.
"Little Meng Bei, you truly surprise this Pope! Honestly, regarding interrupting your wedding, this Pope is truly sorry. After all, marrying one's beloved—what an unattainable wish that is. If you lose your life just like this, what a painful thing that would be!"
Bibi Dong seemed to lament.
Yet her tone was also like a pre-battle declaration.
She walked forward slowly, her bearing between nobility and darkness.
Suddenly, one of Bibi Dong's spider lances tore through the sky, thrusting out abruptly.
Like a sharp sword, it stabbed straight at Meng Bei's chest.
Fast, so fast!
From just this one strike, one could see that Bibi Dong's strength far exceeded Ghost Leopard Douluo's.
No one knew Bibi Dong's exact current spirit power level.
Just now, Bibi Dong said her strength was comparable to Ghost Leopard Douluo's. Looking at it now, Bibi Dong had been lying completely.
Everyone present instantly became tense.
Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword even rumbled continuously, as if it would fly out the next moment.
However, to everyone's surprise, Meng Bei actually caught this move.
His right hand extended and firmly grasped Bibi Dong's spider lance.
The sharp blade rubbed against Meng Bei's palm, scraping off片片 ice shards.
Bibi Dong was stunned, seemingly completely not expecting Meng Bei could do this.
Meng Bei smiled and said:
"Your Holiness, how is my strength?"
Bibi Dong grinned.
"Little Meng Bei, now I somewhat truly believe what you said!"
As her words fell, Bibi Dong's second spirit ring suddenly lit up.
Countless sharp spider lances swarmed over, launching a series of frenzied stabs at Meng Bei.
Meng Bei swung his arms defensively. The Frost Ice Armor on his body blocked dozens of attacks, but soon, the Frost Ice Armor couldn't hold. One point was pierced through first by Bibi Dong. The next moment, the spider stinger struck his skin.
"Hmm?"
Bibi Dong was shocked.
But she saw that the spider stinger that had pierced through Meng Bei's ice armor was blocked by Meng Bei's seemingly fragile skin. The sharp spider stinger, when stabbing it, only created an extremely small opening and couldn't penetrate further.
This greatly shocked Bibi Dong.
She instantly realized Meng Bei's physique was extremely strong.
Something's wrong!
Bibi Dong quickly retreated.
However, the next moment, two beams of white light shot from Meng Bei's eyes, rapidly striking Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's body rapidly froze, causing her movements to stiffen.
But in just an instant, Bibi Dong shattered the ice and broke free from control.
However, in that instant, Meng Bei had already stepped forward and firmly grasped both of Bibi Dong's hands.
Then Meng Bei mercilessly spewed out a large amount of Freezing Dragon's Breath, landing on Bibi Dong's body.
After Bibi Dong released her martial soul, her upper body had a purple-black armor.
And the moment this armor contacted Meng Bei's Freezing Dragon's Breath, more than half of it was burned away.
Moreover, this process had no pain whatsoever.
If not for Bibi Dong's extremely strong control over her own spirit power, she probably wouldn't have realized the dragon breath's power in such a short time.
"Not good!"
Bibi Dong was greatly alarmed.
She thought of Ferran's miserable state earlier.
Almost without any hesitation, Bibi Dong instantly used her fourth spirit skill.
"Thorn Spider Armor!"
A large number of purple-black spikes over a meter long suddenly appeared on her body, covering every part of her body, transforming herself into a giant hedgehog.
These extra-long spikes bounced Meng Bei away. At the same time, these spikes also pushed out Meng Bei's Freezing Dragon's Breath.
Then, only hearing Bibi Dong shout the word "Release," the spikes flew out in all directions, carrying Meng Bei's Freezing Dragon's Breath along with them.
The spikes struck the walls of the Imperial Grand Hall, creating countless large holes in the walls.
After escaping, Bibi Dong quickly retreated. At this moment, she no longer dared to treat Meng Bei as a child.
She spat out a large web, bigger than the entire hall, instantly covering the field. At the same time, she spewed out a large amount of purple poisonous gas, spreading toward Meng Bei.
Wherever the purple mist passed, everything was corroded. Even the floor tiles became pitted.
Meng Bei didn't dodge.
From his mouth, he spewed out a huge freezing wind, instantly blowing away the poisonous fog in the field.
Endless ice and snow howled with the wind, as if in the Extreme North, freezing Bibi Dong's web and causing it to lose its original effect.
The next moment, Meng Bei charged at Bibi Dong at extreme speed.
Bibi Dong shot out huge, sharp, and fast poison needles.
However, they were all dodged one by one by the extremely fast Meng Bei.
Meng Bei continued spewing Freezing Dragon's Breath.
Bibi Dong's expression condensed as she hurriedly dodged.
This time, due to the greater distance, Meng Bei's dragon breath failed to achieve success.
Then the two continued their entangled combat.
The aftershocks nearly destroyed the Imperial Grand Hall that had been passed down for a thousand years.
Everyone present watched this scene dumbfounded.
"This is a Spirit King?"
