Chapter 97: Bibi Dong's Sixth Rakshasa Test.
Bibi Dong said, "I'm going to release it now, you two stay back!"
Su Jiujiu pulled Xia Li back over thirty meters. Cheering for support requires standing far enough away, otherwise it would lack momentum.
She stood in front of Xia Li, the bottle between her lips. This allowed Bibi Dong to sense that the beast was a formidable threat, and she knew it must be formidable. She had to protect Xia Li.
Whoosh!
As soon as Bibi Dong opened the cage, the demonic scorpion charged at her, demonstrating the depth of their hatred.
Bibi Dong had already activated her second martial spirit, the Soul-Devouring Spider! After evolving the power of space, her strength had increased significantly, perhaps enabling her to annihilate the scorpion.
Whoosh!
The venomous scorpion, as fast as lightning, charged at Bibi Dong in an instant.
Xia Li was astonished. This was probably the highest level of combat he had ever witnessed. This scorpion was likely faster than any spirit master or spirit beast on Douluo Continent.
As it drew ever closer, Bibi Dong smiled faintly. After countless battles, she knew the scorpion's attack patterns like the back of her hand. However, even before, she hadn't been strong enough to defeat it.
Whoosh!
Just as it was about to advance, Bibi Dong's body suddenly flashed and vanished from its original position.
Whoosh!
Bibi Dong suddenly appeared fourteen meters behind it, her sixth of eight spirit rings illuminating beneath her feet. Her sixth spirit skill, Eternal Smash!
This was her most powerful attack yet, capable of ignoring physical defense to a certain extent.
The scorpion's reflexes were incredibly agile. In a flash, it spun around and charged towards Bibi Dong once more.
Whoosh!
No matter how fast it was, it still needed a path to follow. Bibi Dong used her spatial power to create a rift in its path and passed through it!
Bang!
The venomous scorpion, charging at full speed, didn't expect Bibi Dong to appear before it, and Eternal Smash instantly pierced it!
Bibi Dong's Eternal Wound was the only skill capable of penetrating the scorpion's armor; other attacks proved ineffective.
The scorpion, pierced through, remained remarkably strong. Even if it hadn't eaten in tens of thousands of years, it wouldn't have died so easily from a piercing.
Such close contact gave it the perfect opportunity to unleash its scorpion tail. The hook on its back, even faster than its usual attack speed, practically "instantaneously," stabbed Bibi Dong.
Not only could Bibi Dong's vision fail to keep up, but her movement speed was also limited. Normally, even if she managed to injure the scorpion, she would still be stung by the hook!
Xia Li had witnessed her being stricken by scorpion venom many times.
Whoosh!
The scorpion's hook "instantly" missed!
Bibi Dong quickly retreated. The scorpion had been severely injured by the previous Eternal Wound, and she dodged the hook. One more Eternal Wound strike would have essentially sealed the victory.
The scorpion's hook was known for its accuracy; the reason it missed was, of course, bad luck.
From the moment it was gazed upon by Xia Li's Eye of Destiny, it was doomed to a cycle of bad luck.
Light God Su Jiujiu witnessed this scene, and she knew the reason all too well: it was the power of destiny at work!
Having lived for thirty thousand years and possessing a wealth of knowledge, Light God Su Jiujiu knew that of all powers, the power of creation was undoubtedly the strongest.
While not as powerful as the power of creation, the power of destiny was the most shrewd, its hallmark being its strangeness, so unpredictable that it was impossible to fathom.
From the moment she knew Xia Li, Light God Su Jiujiu had no desire to harm him, nor did she dare to. She did not want to suffer any misfortune.
Even in a seemingly sure-win situation, as long as the power of fate exists, there are always uncertainties. But one thing is certain: the tide will inevitably turn in Fate's favor.
The wounded demon scorpion slowed, already harboring a desire to retreat. It was no ordinary creature, a scorpion that had seen the world.
It sensed, in its heart, that this woman was favored by the power of fate. No matter what, it could not kill her; it would only be killed!
Whoosh!
As the scorpion launched another attack, Bibi Dong repeated her move, using the power of space to teleport to its side, piercing it once again with an eternal wound!
The scorpion, without reluctance, willingly accepted its fate.
It had long known its own mortality, and when fate arrived, it could not evade it. Rather than continue to live in darkness as a gatekeeper, it was better to let go.
O fate, please grant me some luck, and let me be reborn in a better life!
The light in the scorpion's eyes dimmed, and the once mighty demon beast finally fell.
Bibi Dong wiped the sweat from her forehead. This obstacle, which had troubled her for years, had finally been overcome. It was wonderful, but she knew the credit didn't belong to her.
It belonged to Xia Li, who had merely stood there.
Bibi Dong even suspected that with Xia Li's presence, even if Bibi Dong hadn't taken action herself, the demon scorpion might have accidentally crashed into itself and died!
Light God Su Jiujiu ran over and said, "Take off its shell. We should be able to make a suit of armor. If it were placed on the Douluo Continent, it would be able to withstand at least attacks from those below the Ultimate Douluo level.
This demon scorpion's defenses are remarkable!"
Bibi Dong had imbued her Eternal Wound with spatial abilities. After piercing the demon's body, the spatial force wreaked havoc within it. For Bibi Dong, this strike was a complete exhaustion.
"Alright, I'll get it off!" Bibi Dong said.
Xia Li stretched. This battle had been easy, not at all as difficult as I'd imagined. My Bibi Dong is so strong!
Bibi Dong quickly dismembered the scorpion. It was probably inedible, but she could take the shell back home and keep the poisonous hook.
She had suffered a lot from this hook and was deeply impressed by it.
Xia Li said, "Let's go back."
Bibi Dong put it away and followed Xia Li. She had completed her sixth assessment and was about to take the seventh. She didn't know what kind of difficulties she would face. The thought gave her a headache.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Rakshasa Temple, Xia Li looked at the stairs in front of him. He was a little embarrassed. He had cheated to get up, but he couldn't get down by himself.
The pressure of the stairs did not disappear because Xia Li passed the assessment. It was always there. Even for Bibi Dong, she had to bear that pressure every time she went up the stairs.
There was no other way but to cheat again.
