That voice thundered like a roar in the ear, suddenly appearing above the battlefield.
The one who had arrived was none other than Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong had long been lurking in the shadows, waiting for the moment when Yan and Tang San would be both severely wounded, so she could reap the benefits and kill them both.
She had no choice but to act early when Yu Xiaogang's life was hanging by a thread.
That purple-black energy blade tore through the sky, heading straight for Yan with astonishing speed, as if even space itself was being ripped apart.
Feeling this threat, Yan's expression changed slightly.
But he did not retreat.
The flames on the Fire God Sword flared even more intensely and clashed violently with Bibi Dong's energy blade in midair, producing a deafening roar and dazzling light that shook the entire battlefield.
Taking advantage of Yan's brief distraction, Tang San seized the opportunity to rescue Yu Xiaogang.
"Bibi Dong?"
Realizing who had arrived, neither Tang San nor Yu Xiaogang made any attempt to flee.
Bibi Dong's arrival might just change the tide of this battle.
Yan halted his attack, his gaze falling toward the direction where he sensed Bibi Dong's aura using his spiritual power.
"Bibi Dong, why hide in the shadows like a sneaky rat? Since you're here, show yourself."
"Hahaha~~"
Bibi Dong's sinister and chilling laughter echoed from the sky, instantly filling the entire battlefield.
Everyone present was shocked.
No one could have imagined that the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, would suddenly descend onto this battlefield and even attack Yan.
Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile Douluo both looked up in disbelief at the gradually darkening sky.
Even the three Worship elders, who were engaged in intense aerial combat, paused their actions.
Under the astonished gazes of all present, Bibi Dong's figure slowly appeared and went straight to Yu Xiaogang's side.
"Xiaogang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me."
Recalling what had just happened, Yu Xiaogang was still shaken.
A hint of pride appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
"Thank me? Xiaogang, after all these years, your attitude toward me has finally changed."
As the two spoke, Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile Douluo had already arrived beside Yan.
"Bibi Dong, what on earth are you doing? Don't forget who you are!"
Qian Renxue shouted angrily.
Bibi Dong turned her head and glared at Qian Renxue with fury.
"Hmph! Yu Xiaogang's life is mine no one will take him from me. If you hurt him, then you're my enemy!"
"Bibi Dong, you're insane! They're all enemies of Spirit Hall!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was furious as well.
"Heh heh~"
Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh.
"Golden Crocodile, don't think I don't know you old geezers are plotting to depose me from the position of Pope so this little slut can take over Spirit Hall. Hmph! Do you think I'll let your plan succeed that easily? I've given so much for Spirit Hall. The one who should complete the great unification of the Douluo Continent is me not this little slut!"
Yan suddenly shouted angrily:
"Bibi Dong, shut up! What right do you have to rule Spirit Hall? Do you really not know what you did to the previous Pope?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's face was filled with shock.
She looked at the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside her and saw a trace of truth in his expression.
"Second Worship, you knew about this too?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo silently nodded without saying more.
Yan's accusation made Bibi Dong furious.
Only now did she realize that Yan had long known about her shameful deeds.
She knew that the moment she attacked Yan to save Yu Xiaogang, she was no longer worthy of being Pope of Spirit Hall.
"So, you all knew. That's right Qian Xunji deserved to die. I poisoned him while he was weak and devoured his soul. That's how I achieved my current power."
"But he was your teacher! How could you be so heartless?"
"Shut up, you little slut! What the hell do you know?! Teacher? That bastard ruined my entire life. He deserved to die!"
Facing Qian Renxue's accusations, Bibi Dong shot back with ruthless fury.
The scar in her heart was once again ripped open. She could not bear the humiliation.
Bibi Dong's words left everyone in disbelief.
This was undoubtedly a confession of her crime of poisoning the former Pope in front of everyone.
But she didn't care.
She only cared about Yu Xiaogang's life.
If Yu Xiaogang died, then she would lose the will to live.
"Xiaogang, I told you, only I can protect you. Come with me. I'm about to become a god once I ascend, no one will be able to hurt you again."
"No, I can't leave. I, Yu Xiaogang, may be a useless man, but I'm not a coward! You should go."
Yu Xiaogang said this on purpose because he saw an opportunity.
As long as he didn't leave, Bibi Dong would stay.
He wanted Bibi Dong to completely break with Spirit Hall and join forces with Tang San to deal with Yan.
"Xiaogang, why are you being so foolish? How could I bear to see you trapped in such danger?"
Tang San suddenly spoke up:
"Bibi Dong, how about we join forces to deal with Yan? It was Qian Xunji who caused my mother's death, and Yan killed my father and uncle. These things have nothing to do with you."
The destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the death of Xiao Wu's mother Bibi Dong was the chief culprit behind all of it. But at this moment, Tang San couldn't afford to think about that.
After all, Bibi Dong possessed strength at the level of a Peerless Douluo and could very well turn the tide of the entire battle.
Tang San also had his own calculations first join forces to kill Yan, then, when Bibi Dong was weakened, use the Sea God's Light to eliminate her and remove all future threats.
A cold and ruthless glint flashed across Bibi Dong's eyes.
At this point, it seemed she no longer had a better choice.
Having just witnessed Tang Xiao's tragic death at Yan's hands, she knew Yan's strength had grown even greater.
If she didn't eliminate Yan now, there would be even fewer chances in the future.
She had also seen the power Tang San possessed.
In just a few short years, Tang San's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds and he had gained the Sea God's divine weapon.
Tang San was definitely one of the top powerhouses among this group perhaps even the Spirit Hall's Worship elders might not be a match for him with the divine weapon in hand.
In the battle just now, Tang San was heavily suppressed by Yan and unable to unleash his full power.
If the two of them teamed up against Yan, there was a chance they could defeat him.
With Ning Fengzhi's amplification, Sword and Bone Douluo, along with the elder from the Clear Sky Clan, would also possess formidable strength.
As a Title Douluo, the Star Luo Emperor and the martial soul fusion technique of the Netherworld Hell Tiger were also not to be underestimated.
Bibi Dong herself had brought hundreds of soul masters, all of them fiercely loyal.
Among them, besides the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, there were no shortage of experts at the Title Douluo level.
Even if they were ultimately defeated by the Spirit Empire's army, they would still inflict considerable damage.
After a quick analysis, Bibi Dong accepted Tang San's proposal.
"Fine, I'll join forces with you."
Bibi Dong looked toward Yan and said with a smug smile:
"All those who betrayed me deserve to die!"
Bibi Dong and Tang San's decision to join forces instantly made the atmosphere on the battlefield tense and oppressive.
This sudden alliance became a force that could not be ignored.
"Yan, your death is at hand."
Tang San raised the Sea God's Trident, his confidence restored.
Yan let out a cold snort, his expression unchanging.
"You two, come at me together!"
