At this moment, Bear Lord saw that Xue Tianyu had intervened, so he sensibly stopped attacking.
In truth, his fight against Bibi Dong had not been easy.
Despite her looking battered while escaping, the reality was that even his ultimate move had only managed to injure her.
If not for Xue Tianyu's Ice God Bow piercing her shoulder with an arrow, Bear Lord knew that Bibi Dong still had the ability to continue fighting.
That arrow from Xue Tianyu had been so terrifying that even Bear Lord felt a chill in his heart.
He couldn't help but wonder—if that arrow had been aimed at him instead, would he have survived?
Xue Tianyu watched as Bibi Dong sat cross-legged before him, beginning to recover from her injuries, acting as if she didn't care about anything.
He let out a cold laugh.
"So we've never met before?"
Even though he knew it had been twenty years and that Bibi Dong couldn't possibly recognize him, hearing his own mother say those words still felt utterly ridiculous to him.
"Oh? Have we met before?" Bibi Dong looked up and studied Xue Tianyu carefully before concluding with certainty, "No, I definitely haven't seen you before."
"You haven't seen me? Very well."
"Haha…"
"Hahaha…"
Xue Tianyu suddenly burst into laughter.
"So, a simple 'we've never met' is enough to wipe away all sins?"
Xue Tianyu tilted his head slightly, holding his forehead with one hand as he looked at Bibi Dong.
"You really are at peace with yourself."
"What are you talking about?" Bibi Dong frowned. "If I say I haven't seen you before, then I haven't. Must I have met you?"
"Fine, I'll be direct." Xue Tianyu spread his hands. "Do you remember Yu Xiaogang? I just finished teaching him a lesson."
Boom!
Bibi Dong's mind exploded.
So this young man before her was the mysterious Titled Douluo who had humiliated Yu Xiaogang in the streets and instantly killed Tang Hao?
"Xue Tianyu, it's you!!!"
A surge of fury rose in Bibi Dong's heart—that was her Xiaogang!
She had never been willing to let him suffer even the slightest grievance, yet now he had been beaten like a dog by the person in front of her!
This was something she absolutely, absolutely could not tolerate!
No one—absolutely no one—was allowed to bully Yu Xiaogang!
Anyone who dared to offend him had to pay the price!
Bibi Dong's eyes turned red as she glared at Xue Tianyu.
"So you finally remember me."
Xue Tianyu nodded, looking at Bibi Dong mockingly. "You weren't there, so you didn't hear Yu Xiaogang's screams of agony. You have no idea how satisfying they were."
"You!"
Bibi Dong was so enraged that she nearly coughed up blood from the backlash of her injuries.
She hurriedly took a deep breath, forcing herself to stabilize her aura.
"Let me go, and I'll pretend none of this ever happened," Bibi Dong said coldly. "The Spirit Hall will not pose any threat to you."
"As long as you let me leave."
"You still want to leave?"
Xue Tianyu sneered at Bibi Dong. "Don't be naive."
"Bibi Dong, that arrow was just the beginning." Xue Tianyu put away the Ice God Bow and, with a swift motion, pulled out the Ice God Spear.
"Next, you will experience even greater despair!"
Watching Xue Tianyu closing in step by step, Bibi Dong only wanted to buy herself more time to recover.
"Stay back, we can talk this out!"
Bibi Dong quickly spoke. "First of all, you and I have no personal grudge!"
"No personal grudge?"
Xue Tianyu let out a cold laugh. "So Yu Xiaogang doesn't count as a grudge?"
Bibi Dong fell silent. A moment later, she forced herself to nod. "Right. That's between you and him. I won't interfere."
In truth, she knew that this was merely a temporary concession.
As long as she could escape now, no matter what she had to say, she would say it.
But in the future—she would return the pain he caused her a hundredfold!
However, Xue Tianyu didn't believe a single word of it.
He stood before Bibi Dong, knowing that one spear thrust could end everything.
Of course, he didn't believe that Bibi Dong was completely out of options, so he wouldn't act recklessly.
"No worries. Our grudge can officially start with this spear." Xue Tianyu smiled faintly before gripping the Ice God Spear tightly and thrusting forward!
The Ice God Spear shot out, carrying an overwhelming cold aura.
Bibi Dong, already heavily injured, still had the ice poison from the Ice God Bow's arrow in her body.
If she took another hit from this spear, she wouldn't survive.
"Sigh…"
A deep sigh escaped from Bibi Dong's lips.
She had originally planned to keep it hidden, but now she had no choice.
If she didn't reveal it now, she would never have another chance.
Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened as she looked at Xue Tianyu.
A shadow of dual pupils appeared in her eyes.
In the next instant, a terrifying soul power exploded from within her like a tidal wave.
Xue Tianyu instinctively pulled back, taking two steps back with his spear in hand, watching Bibi Dong cautiously.
Bear Lord rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Wait, wasn't she supposed to be heavily injured?
Why did her aura suddenly become even stronger than before?
There was only one explanation—
Bibi Dong had been hiding her true strength.
Bear Lord immediately felt humiliated.
She still had the strength to hold back while fighting him?
Did that mean she looked down on him?
Bear Lord clenched his bear claws tightly.
Since that was the case, he wasn't going to hold back either!
Xue Tianyu calmly observed the powerful soul energy erupting from Bibi Dong's body.
Although he wasn't sure what was happening, it was clearly the effect of some kind of soul skill.
His gaze fell on Bibi Dong's ninth spirit ring, which was now shining with a crimson glow, and he tightened his grip on the Ice God Spear.
Bibi Dong slowly stood up from the ground.
Her injuries were healing at an astonishing rate.
Even her aura had returned to its peak.
At that moment, a faint purple glow flickered around Bibi Dong's body.
"I've given you chances to back down, but you, brat, keep pushing me further. I suppose I'll grant your wish!"
Xue Tianyu narrowed his eyes.
He had always known that Bibi Dong wouldn't be easy to deal with.
But he hadn't expected her to recover to full strength after being injured by Bear Lord.
Still, it didn't matter.
Shing!
The Ice God Spear in Xue Tianyu's hand let out a sharp sound as it cut through the air.
He swung the spear and charged straight at Bibi Dong.
A violet light flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She swiftly dodged the incoming spear strike.
"Don't rush. The real show is just beginning!"
Bibi Dong's body began to change once again.
The shadow of the Death Spider Emperor separated from her, watching Xue Tianyu from the void before fading away.
Then, another enormous spider shadow emerged.
The instant it appeared, a terrifying wave of soul power spread outward.
"Twin Martial Souls, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!"
Bibi Dong's entire aura shifted.
The poison and deathly aura from before had now gained an even more sinister, Soul Devouring presence.
Xue Tianyu remained calm as he gazed at Bibi Dong.
Since he had come for revenge, he would strike her down at the height of her arrogance.
Bibi Dong!
Xue Tianyu's entire body erupted with fighting intent, his aura rising rapidly.
"You'll soon realize that not stopping me was your worst mistake." Bibi Dong spoke coldly.
"Is that so?" Xue Tianyu raised his spear, his soul power surging like a storm.
"Bibi Dong, you're too ignorant."
