Chapter 76: Combat is About Using Every Means, the One Standing at the End is the Winner
The next day, at the Angel Arena.
Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao—the figures of the four appeared here. Since it was a private duel, the elders of the two major factions were not present.
Before the battle, Yun Yuan looked at the exquisite beauty before him and ruffled her hair.
"Senior Sister, you remember what I told you last night, right? When dealing with villains, you must use a villain's attitude and methods."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, looking very obedient.
"Junior Brother, don't worry. Just watch how I toy with that Tang Hao on the field later."
Seeing Bibi Dong's promise, Yun Yuan's heart finally settled. What he feared most was that Bibi Dong would be as stubborn as Grandmaster Qian Daoliu and insist on clashing head-on with Tang Hao.
But now it seemed his Senior Sister had some cleverness, and what's more, she knew how to be flexible.
Following this, Bibi Dong walked onto the arena with light steps, and Tang Hao appeared on the opposite side.
Seeing Bibi Dong, Tang Hao let out a soft snort. His Soul Power surged, and a jet-black, magnificent, and huge Clear Sky Hammer appeared before him. Three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—were released around his body.
Seeing this, the smiling expression on Bibi Dong's face turned serious. She summoned her Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, and three Soul Rings—yellow, purple, and purple—swirled around her.
At the same time, Bibi Dong intended to go all out from the very beginning; the Eight Spider Lances appeared behind her.
"Bibi Dong, today, let me, Tang Hao, teach you a lesson. Let you know that while you can eat whatever you want, you cannot say whatever you want; otherwise, there will be a price to pay."
After speaking, the veins on Tang Hao's arms bulged. He swung the massive Clear Sky Hammer in front of him and charged toward Bibi Dong.
Facing the incoming attack from Tang Hao, Bibi Dong controlled the Eight Spider Lances and, moving with steps as elusive as a ghost, flexibly dodged Tang Hao's attack.
Although the Eight Spider Lances were a poison-attribute External Soul Bone, as long as one could flexibly control the Eight Spider Lances, one's movement speed and agility would be very high.
At this moment, Bibi Dong, controlling the Eight Spider Lances, could already be considered an agility-attack system Soul Master.
A few minutes later, Tang Hao didn't know how many times he had swung his hammer, but Bibi Dong was always able to dodge his Clear Sky Hammer, leaving him with strength he didn't know where to direct.
Moreover, the Soul Power Bibi Dong consumed while dodging with the Eight Spider Lances was far less than what he consumed swinging the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Bibi Dong, is this a duel? What is the meaning of constantly dodging my Clear Sky Hammer?"
"If you want to defeat me by exhausting my Soul Power, then I can only say that the methods you in Spirit Hall use to win are far too clumsy."
"If you have the ability, use the spider lances behind you to clash head-on with my Clear Sky Hammer and see whose combat power is stronger."
Seeing that his attacks were missing, Tang Hao temporarily stopped swinging the Clear Sky Hammer and turned to express his dissatisfaction to Bibi Dong.
Tang Hao was unconvinced. What Bibi Dong was doing, could it even be called a duel? It was nothing more than toying with him. Even if she won, it would be a victory through unsightly means.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Tang Hao's words, Bibi Dong stood not far from him, stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
"Haha, Tang Hao, you truly are just as my Junior Brother said; you are quite shameless. You are asking me to clash head-on with you."
"Then, may I ask you to taste the poison of my Eight Spider Lances? Combat is inherently about using every means; whoever is standing at the end is the ultimate winner."
"It is not like what you are doing now, demanding others compete against your strengths. That is what you call winning unfairly; that is truly clumsy."
After mocking Tang Hao, Bibi Dong began to get serious. Just before, Tang Hao had initiated the attack, but now it was Bibi Dong's turn to counterattack.
"First Soul Skill, Death Poison Mist!"
As Bibi Dong's voice fell, the first Soul Ring on her body lit up. In an instant, the entire arena was filled with purple-black poison mist.
This purple-black poison mist would corrode Soul Power, paralyze nerves, and weaken perception. Even though Tang Hao had already used his Soul Power to protect his body, he was still significantly affected.
After using her First Soul Skill, Bibi Dong's movements did not stop. Her third thousand-year Soul Ring lit up.
devil spiders appeared on the arena one after another. Their eyes all stared straight at Tang Hao, and then they lunged to tear at him.
Having continuously released two control and interference Martial Soul Abilities, Bibi Dong brandished the Eight Spider Lances behind her and attacked Tang Hao.
The Death Poison Mist and the devil spiders served as distractions; the Eight Spider Lances were her most powerful means of attack.
Moreover, Yun Yuan and Qian Xunji both agreed that in the future, Bibi Dong could focus her main energy on nurturing the Eight Spider Lances; using the Eight Spider Lances for attacks was Bibi Dong's best choice.
Watching the incoming devil spiders and the spider lances that could pierce him at any moment, Tang Hao's heart grew increasingly heavy.
This duel was completely beyond his expectations. Facing Bibi Dong's methods, he found himself unable to parry.
The next moment, Bibi Dong's figure, like a ghost, appeared behind Tang Hao. Tang Hao sensed the danger coming from behind, furrowed his brows slightly, reacted quickly, and swung the Clear Sky Hammer.
He dodged Bibi Dong's spider lances with a sidestep, then used the Clear Sky Hammer to strike the Eight Spider Lances heavily, forcing Bibi Dong to retreat abruptly.
"Tang Hao, not bad, you've got some skills to be able to react to that. However, I can afford countless mistakes, but you can only afford to make one."
As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, the surrounding devil spiders were already extremely close to Tang Hao, and with a leap, they tried to tear at him.
In response, Tang Hao first used his Soul Power to protect his body, then jumped up violently, condensed his Soul Power onto the hammer head, and struck the ground heavily. The terrifying shockwave of Soul Power shattered the devil spiders within a radius of more than ten meters.
Just as Tang Hao wanted to swing his second hammer, Bibi Dong's spider lances attacked him again, and devil spiders were gradually appearing on the arena floor once more.
Facing this scene, Tang Hao was truly frustrated. This Bibi Dong was too insidious; not only did she sneak attack him from time to time, but there was also the threat of the devil spiders all around.
In such a high-pressure battle, Tang Hao split his focus for a split second, which was perfectly captured by Bibi Dong.
The next moment.
Bibi Dong's spider lances thrust toward Tang Hao. Even though Tang Hao had reacted to the best of his ability, the muscles on his arm were torn, and the terrifying poison spread through his body along the wound, causing Tang Hao's face to gradually turn purple.
"You have lost."
Seeing that Tang Hao had been struck by her spider poison, the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curled up slightly, and she stopped her movements.
Tang Hao wanted to use his Soul Power to suppress the poison, but the poison of the Eight Spider Lances was terrifying. Not long after, Tang Hao lost all strength and fell to one knee on the ground.
Bibi Dong retracted her Martial Soul, walked to the front of Tang Hao, and looked down at him.
"Tang Hao, you are merely a stepping stone in the end. With a heart higher than the heavens but a life as thin as paper, you cannot even get past me, yet you still want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my Junior Brother? It is truly wishful thinking."
Hearing Bibi Dong's mockery, Tang Hao, already suffering from the severe poison, felt his rage pierce his heart, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Bibi Dong's words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart. He had always regarded Yun Yuan as his arch-rival.
But now, Bibi Dong had directly shattered his fantasy; he was no longer worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Yun Yuan.
