To minimize the risk of a dangerous final attack from the two great Spirit Beasts, Bibi Dong ordered her team to slow down their chase. She did not want them to face a desperate counterattack in the creatures' last moments of life.
The team kept a safe distance of about a thousand meters from the struggling Da Ming and Er Ming as they fled. While the team stayed back, Bibi Dong used her massive mental force to lock onto the two beasts. Her mind was like a strong chain, tightly binding them and following their every move with calm focus.
At this moment, it was clear that Spirit Hall had the upper hand. Anyone watching could see that Da Ming and Er Ming were getting slower and slower. Er Ming's body was as big as a mountain, but he was now staggering. Every time he lifted a heavy leg, it looked like he was using up the last of his strength. A few moments later, he turned around to try and use his Gravity Domain to slow down the people chasing them. However, the yellow light was much weaker than before. It did not last long and did not cover much ground, showing that he was running out of power.
Your Eminence, should we launch another wave of attacks to kill them faster? Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan asked in a low voice. He stood by her side, waiting for an order to finish the job.
Bibi Dong heard him and waved her hand casually. She looked at the scene with an indifferent expression. There is no need for that. I want the five of you to spread out and surround them. The closer we get to the end, the more careful we must be. I am determined to get these two spirit rings, and I will not allow any mistakes to happen.
Yes! the five Titled Douluo replied at the same time. Following her command, they moved quickly and silently. Like Gui Mei, they scattered to form a large circle around the two great Spirit Beasts. They kept their distance but made sure there was no way out.
Their job right now was simple. They had to hold the line and stop anything unexpected from happening. They were waiting for the poison to finish off the last bit of life inside the two beasts. In their current weak state, even if Da Ming and Er Ming worked together, they probably could not kill a Titled Douluo who was at full strength.
The five Titled Douluo did not hold back their power. They let their mental force and the heavy pressure of their rank sweep across the forest like a tide. This scary energy warned every other spirit beast in the woods to stay away. Any beast that might have been curious about the fight was too afraid to even come close. All the hunters had to do was wait until the two Kings of the Forest were completely tired out. Then, Bibi Dong would either land the final blow herself or just let the poison take them. Either way, the mission would be a success.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping and no way to survive, a look of madness appeared in the eyes of the Titan Giant Ape. He let out a loud roar. Big Brother, we are going to die no matter what we do. Let's fight them! Even if I have to blow myself up, I will never let these terrible people take our spirit rings and spirit bones!
Hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python stopped hesitating. The look in his large eyes changed to pure anger and determination. He nodded his massive head and let out a sad, loud hiss. Alright, Second Brother, let's fight them to the end.
They decided it was better to die a brave death than to be slowly killed by poison and become trophies for their enemies. They wanted to take their enemies down with them.
Suddenly, two roars that shook the entire forest rang out. The weak aura of the two Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts suddenly became very strong. It was like a final burst of life before the end. Facing death, Er Ming and Da Ming stopped trying to run away. Their hearts were now filled only with the goal of killing the people who hunted them.
Gravity Mire! the Titan Giant Ape roared. He slammed his huge fists into the ground with all his might.
Immediately, the gravity within a thousand meters of him increased by dozens of times. The ground started to cave in, and old trees were crushed by the weight. Even the air felt thick and heavy. This was his Gravity Control Domain, pushed to its absolute limit by burning his own life force. He wanted to trap all the enemies, especially the five Titled Douluo.
Then, he opened his giant mouth wide. A dark red beam of energy shot out. It was over five meters wide and filled with the power of his entire life's cultivation. The beam tore through the heavy air and headed straight for the biggest threat, Bibi Dong. Everywhere the energy passed, the space around it seemed to shake. It carried a powerful will to destroy everything in its path.
Sky Azure Annihilation Lightning! the Sky Azure Bull Python cried out with a roar that sounded like a bull. Bright blue electricity started to glow between his massive horns.
A second later, a deep blue bolt of lightning struck out. It was as thick as a water bucket and felt very dangerous. With a loud clap of thunder, it moved even faster than the ape's attack. It did not go toward Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Instead, it shot straight for Spirit Kite Douluo. She was currently gathering her power for a strong spirit ability, and the python knew her long-range attacks were a big problem. He decided she had to be the first one to go. At the same time, he used what was left of his Slowing Domain to wrap every enemy in a faint green light, making it harder for them to move.
Death Barrier! Bibi Dong said. She saw the Titan Giant Ape's attack coming. In her Death Spider Emperor form, she stabbed her eight long legs into the dirt. A dark purple light came from her body and formed a huge shield in front of her. The shield was covered in strange spiderweb patterns.
The red energy beam hit the shield with a loud, grinding noise. The purple and red energies fought against each other, trying to wipe the other out. The explosion from the hit was so strong that it leveled all the trees and bushes nearby.
Bibi Dong laughed coldly. It is just a final struggle before death. Her body moved a little from the impact, and some cracks appeared on her shield, but it held firm. She was able to stop the ape's desperate attack. In her mind, the more her enemies fought back like this, the faster they would burn out and die.
The other Titled Douluo also started to attack. Ninth Spirit Skill, Chrysanthemum Withers, Wounds Fill the Ground, Petals Fall, Hearts Break! Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted. He knew he had to be fast to stop the blue lightning. He used his strongest skill right away.
His flower flew into the air and exploded into thousands of golden petals. They turned into a golden tornado that could cut through anything and crashed into the blue lightning. The two powers hit each other, creating loud noises and bright lights as they struggled for control.
Tuoba Xi, the leader of the Sacred Dragon Sect, let out a dragon roar as his seventh spirit ring began to glow. White-Armored Sacred Dragon True Body! His body grew larger and became covered in thick white scales. He turned into a half-dragon man. Even with the heavy gravity pushing him down, he charged toward Er Ming like a tank.
Eighth Spirit Ability, Sacred Dragon Sky-Rending Claw! Tuoba Xi used his massive dragon claw to strike at the large wound on Er Ming's chest. He wanted to rip the beast open and end the fight.
At that same time, high above the forest, a blue and gold light was moving through the sky. It was moving very fast toward the area where the battle was happening. Tang Chen could feel the huge battle from far away. He could also feel the life force of Da Ming and Er Ming getting weaker, like a candle about to go out in the wind.
The voice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke inside his mind. It sounded surprised. Hey, Tang Chen! Look at that mess ahead. It looks like a bunch of Titled Douluo are picking on two big guys.
I know, Tang Chen said. His eyes looked through the trees and locked onto the center of the explosions. He sounded very calm, as if he were talking about something that did not involve him.
You know? If you know, then why are you still going there? The worm's voice got louder because it could not believe what he was doing. Are you crazy? There are at least five or six Titled Douluo down there! And one of them has a very evil and powerful aura. That must be the Bibi Dong you told me about! Going there is like walking into a trap.
I still have to go, Tang Chen answered shortly.
You! The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was quiet for a moment, surprised by how calm he was. Then, its voice changed as it realized something. Wait a minute. You said you wanted to go with me to the Extreme North to get your second spirit.
Now you are looking at those two big guys. Tang Chen, you wouldn't be thinking of doing what I think you are, would you? The worm sounded a bit excited and a bit scared at the same time.
Tang Chen smiled coldly. You are right. You always say you want to find the best second spirit and the best spirit rings for me. Don't you think those two high-quality spirit rings are the best choice?
My heavens! the worm gasped. You want to steal from a tiger? You want to take those two spirit beasts away from Bibi Dong and all those Titled Douluo to use them for yourself? It was completely shocked by how bold the plan was.
