Chapter 279: Tang Chen's Battle Against Bibi Dong
However, before Tang San could prepare to search for his ninth soul ring, a loud roar echoed from the core area of Star Dou Forest, as if a soul beast was in battle.
Especially with the roar, a very powerful soul power explosion occurred, like a battle between top experts, with power that even exceeded the level of a Title Douluo.
Xiao Wu immediately became very worried. "Third Brother, that sounds like Er Ming's voice. Could it be that some powerful experts are trying to hunt down Er Ming and Da Ming?"
Before Tang San could respond, another loud bellow came from the core area of Star Dou Forest. This bellow carried both anger and sorrow, as if a powerful soul beast had taken a heavy blow.
Xiao Wu's face changed dramatically. "How could this happen? Even Da Ming is under attack! Who in the world could threaten both Da Ming and Er Ming at the same time?"
Tang San's expression changed drastically. "Great-grandfather, Xiao Wu, could it be that Bibi Dong has led the experts of the Spirit Hall Empire to hunt down Da Ming and Er Ming? Bibi Dong must also be in need of many soul rings now."
Tang Chen nodded. "It should be Bibi Dong. I can sense a very evil aura, along with several Title Douluo auras. No other force besides the Spirit Hall Empire has so many experts."
Xiao Wu quickly spoke up. "Third Brother, Da Ming and Er Ming are my brothers, I have to go save them!"
Tang San said, "Xiao Wu, I swear I will protect you with my life. Da Ming and Er Ming are your family, and therefore my family too. I will protect them."
Tang Chen looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, and without saying another word, he used his soul power to grab both of them and flew quickly toward the core area of Star Dou Forest.
...
After leaving the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, Yang Xiong planned to head directly to Star Dou Forest.
Now, Yang Xiong was unable to break through the barrier beneath the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. The barrier seemed to have been set up by the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King before their death, and it was a true God King-level barrier, far beyond what he could break.
To enter the true core area of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, only a god or someone from the Dragon Clan could do it.
After careful consideration, Yang Xiong realized that the only person who could enter the core area of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye on the Douluo Continent might be the Black Dragon Emperor from the Great Forest.
After much thought, Yang Xiong decided to visit Star Dou Forest.
In theory, the Shura God and the Dragon Clan had a deep enmity. It was the Shura God who had cleaved the Dragon God in half with one sword, ultimately leading to the Dragon Clan's defeat.
But now, the Shura God had given Yang Xiong this trial. It was clear that the Shura God knew he couldn't absorb ordinary soul bones on his arms and could only absorb the two soul bones hidden beneath the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.
The Shura God's words about the trial not being about improving strength, but about making choices, seemed to indicate that the Shura God had known about the Black Dragon Emperor hiding on the Douluo Continent and even about the Silver Dragon King hiding there. Yet, the Shura God never considered targeting them.
In the original plot, choosing Tang San to be the new Shura God was also part of the Shura God's plan. Tang San had the bloodline of the soul beast race, and due to Xiao Wu, Tang San had certain connections with the soul beasts.
According to the original storyline, Tang San didn't fully inherit the Shura God's position. Instead, both Tang San and Xiao Wu inherited the Shura God's position together. If the Shura God truly passed the divine position to the soul beast race, this would imply there were more issues with the Dragon God war and the Shura God's stance.
The Shura God had originally been just a subordinate of the Dragon God. After the great battle, the Dragon Clan didn't perish. Instead, they thrived over thousands of years, and even after ten thousand years, the soul beast race saw an increase in 100,000-year soul beasts, indicating significant changes.
Although Yang Xiong had mastered the Shura Demon Sword, he couldn't store it within his body, so he had to wrap it in the sword sheath made of Heaven-Exiled Meteor Copper, carrying it as he walked.
With the sword sheath in hand, Yang Xiong entered Star Dou Forest alone. With his current strength, he was moving through the forest with ease.
...
Tang Chen, with Tang San and Xiao Wu, quickly arrived at the Lake of Life, but the sight before them shocked them all.
Bibi Dong had actually led six Title Douluo to attack the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.
At this moment, the two 100,000-year soul beasts, having sustained attacks from seven Title Douluo, were covered in wounds.
Some of these wounds seemed to be infected with a black aura, as if they had been poisoned. The black aura clung to their bodies like maggots, and despite their immense strength, the two soul beasts couldn't rid themselves of the poison.
This was the poison from Bibi Dong's martial soul, one of the most potent poisons in the world, even stronger than the poison of Dugu Bo's Green Phosphor Snake King.
Of course, given the formidable physiques of the two 100,000-year soul beasts, this poison wasn't fatal to them. As long as they could find a quiet place to rest, detoxifying wouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately, they were under attack by seven Title Douluo at the moment.
At that moment, a giant hammer descended from the sky, striking directly toward Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong, who had been using her mental power to suppress the two 100,000-year soul beasts, was startled by the sudden attack.
The hammer was incredibly powerful. If she were distracted, it would be impossible to block it, and she could even be seriously injured.
In the end, Bibi Dong reluctantly withdrew her mental power, and the enormous Death Spider Emperor used all its strength to block the hammer. However, Bibi Dong herself was sent flying several meters.
At that instant, the two 100,000-year soul beasts seemed to have broken free from their restraints and roared in fury, quickly escaping the encirclement of Bibi Dong and her group.
When Bibi Dong and her seven companions turned to face the newcomers, their expressions were filled with shock.
It was Tang Chen, Tang San, and Xiao Wu. Especially with Tang Chen, who was known as the Invincible of the Land, even the Title Douluo present looked at him with immense respect.
Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly moved to the side of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python. The two of them quickly used their soul power to heal the two 100,000-year soul beasts.
The Titan Giant Ape was heavily wounded but still managed to muster enough soul power to speak. "Xiao Wu, Third Brother, you're here. It's a relief."
Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "Da Ming, Er Ming, heal quickly. With Third Brother and me here, no one will hurt you."
Bibi Dong looked coldly at Tang Chen.
"Tang Chen, you are the leader of Haotian Sect, the so-called 'Two Peaks' of the soul master world. How dare you break the promise made with the Great Elder and attack us without authorization? Do you intend to tear up the agreement?"
Tang Chen's gaze turned cold. "I do have an agreement with Qian Daoliu, but these two soul beasts have a special relationship with my great-grandson. They are part of Haotian Sect, and I cannot allow you to kill them."
Some time ago, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had met to ensure they wouldn't easily act against each other's juniors, and even signed a ceasefire agreement.
However, Tang Chen hadn't expected Bibi Dong to lead such a large force to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, both of which were connected to his great-grandson's family.
At Bibi Dong's current strength, she was very close to reaching level 99. If she absorbed two 100,000-year soul rings, the Spirit Hall Empire would have two Limit Douluo, which would cause the situation to spiral out of control.
Bibi Dong sneered. "I didn't expect the so-called Invincible of the Land to break his promise. The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python are just beasts. Do you Haotian Sect intend to ally with the soul beast race to harm humanity?"
Tang Chen shouted in anger, "Although you are the Emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire, you are only level 98. There is a vast gap between 98 and 99. Do you want me to teach you a lesson?"
Bibi Dong, determined to capture the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, wouldn't back down easily. She had come fully prepared, and the two soul beasts were severely wounded. Leaving now would mean all her efforts had been in vain.
"Tang Chen, you're getting old. Since you dare to stop me from hunting soul rings, I'd like to test your so-called invincible strength."
As Bibi Dong spoke, her martial soul suddenly changed. The Death Spider Emperor transformed into the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor, and her soul rings became five black and two red.
Tang Chen's expression changed slightly. He also had some caution regarding Bibi Dong's soul rings, knowing that she had trained her twin martial souls to perfection, with two 100,000-year soul rings attached to her second martial soul.
But holding the Haotian Hammer, Tang Chen quickly attacked with a mighty blow.
The enormous Soul-Eating Spider Emperor raised its massive pincers and grabbed toward the Haotian Hammer with all its strength.
When the Haotian Hammer collided with the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor, Bibi Dong was forced back several dozen meters, while Tang Chen remained completely unmoved.
The power gap between level 98 and 99 was immense, and with a single strike, Tang Chen could crush Bibi Dong.
However, at that moment, two giant Dragon Spine Staves swung toward Tang Chen.
Tang Chen sneered. "A petty trick. You dare be reckless in front of me?"
With a forceful swing of the Haotian Hammer, Tang Chen's hammer collided with the two Dragon Spine Staves. Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo felt a tremendous shockwave from the staves, their hands trembling as they tried to hold onto them.
This was Tang Chen's Haotian Nine Absolute's Shock Formula. Even an ordinary self-created soul skill could crush two Title Douluo.
Bibi Dong's face filled with unwillingness. Despite facing Tang Chen's overwhelming strength, she attacked with all her might.
Immediately, Bibi Dong, along with Qian Jun Douluo and Jiang Mo Douluo, surrounded Tang Chen. Especially with the two working in perfect coordination, the power of the Dragon Spine Staves was immense. Even Tang Chen couldn't win quickly.
