Chapter 84: Xue Tianyu’s Eight Red and One Gold – Bibi Dong Shocked! A Heaven-Defying Soul Ring Configuration!
Broken spider legs.
A shattered body.
And three piercing wounds inflicted by Xue Tianyu.
The intense pain surged through her, blood dripping profusely.
Right now, Bibi Dong was under immense pressure.
She could only follow the same tactic as before, quickly escaping from the Thousand Blades, Ten Thousand Shields, and once again activating the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's possession state.
However, before she could do anything, the Ice Dragon Tornado instantly froze her severed spider spear limbs.
This time, Bibi Dong's expression was extremely ugly.
She decisively abandoned all of her spider spears, escaping with only her head and torso, barely avoiding the range of Xue Tianyu's spear!
At this moment, Bibi Dong looked like a human swine.
Just based on intelligence, it was impossible to gauge how strong Xue Tianyu truly was.
All they knew was that he possessed the strength to instantly kill Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
However, Bibi Dong was confident that if she didn't have to worry about collateral damage and fought at full power, she could also kill Tang Hao in an instant.
That was why she had never taken Xue Tianyu seriously.
Her attention had always been on how to get rid of Qian Daoliu.
She had thought reaching her current level was already an incredible achievement, making her one of the rare geniuses on the continent.
But today, Bibi Dong had to admit that she had encountered a genius far stronger than herself.
"Xue Tianyu… where did you get such powerful cultivation resources, and how do you have such overwhelming talent?!"
Bibi Dong was unwilling to accept this.
The only reason she had reached her current strength was due to her top-tier talent combined with the Spirit Hall pouring all its resources into cultivating her.
Even if Xue Tianyu had extraordinary talent, where did he obtain such vast cultivation resources?
Even the secluded Clear Sky Sect likely couldn't provide this much.
Watching Xue Tianyu retract his spear and approach her with an expressionless face, Bibi Dong felt a chill in her heart.
"Is this all you've got, Bibi Dong?"
Having been at Tianshui Academy for so many years, Xue Tianyu had, of course, heard of Bibi Dong.
Supposedly the strongest on land among the new generation.
This was it?
"Tianyu seems to have grown even stronger," Bing Di sighed with satisfaction as she watched Xue Tianyu press closer to Bibi Dong. She turned to Xue Di beside her and said, "This little guy never stops surprising us."
Normally, Xue Di would immediately respond to Bing Di.
But today, Xue Di seemed slow to react, as if her mind was occupied with something else.
"What are you thinking about? You look completely dazed."
Bing Di shook Xue Di, causing her to tremble slightly.
"Huh?"
"No, no, I wasn't thinking about anything."
In truth, Xue Di was feeling a bit flustered.
From Xue Tianyu's words just now, she understood that this woman was Bibi Dong.
The target of Xue Tianyu's revenge.
This was awkward.
Back at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xue Di had promised to consider being with Xue Tianyu after he avenged his hatred.
She had thought this revenge would take at least seventeen or eighteen years.
She hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
And this enemy… didn't seem very strong.
'Ah, this…'
If Xue Tianyu succeeded in his revenge right now, wouldn't that mean… she would have to be with him immediately?
Thinking of this, Xue Di's face turned red.
She had no idea how she was going to explain this to Bing Di…
Just then, Bing Di leaned in close.
"Are you okay?"
"Huh? I'm fine."
Xue Di forced herself to remain calm, completely ignoring Bing Di's suspicious expression.
"What were you just saying?"
Fortunately, Bing Di didn't dwell on any strange thoughts, merely feeling that Xue Di was acting a little off.
"I was saying, should we step in and help Xue Tianyu?" Bing Di asked.
"I think Tianyu can handle it himself, no problem."
"This Bibi Dong is Tianyu's enemy. He probably doesn't want us interfering." Xue Di pondered for a moment before speaking.
Her words made sense, and Bing Di nodded. "Alright then, as long as Tianyu isn't in danger, we'll just support him from the sidelines."
"I think that's the best approach." Xue Di nodded.
She looked at Bibi Dong, who was on the verge of being finished off by Xue Tianyu's spear.
This was Xue Tianyu's biological mother.
The source of his abandonment.
…
At this moment, Bibi Dong had no idea what Xue Di was thinking.
Seeing Xue Tianyu approaching, she took a deep breath, and the seventh soul ring behind her radiated a dazzling light.
"Seventh Soul Skill – Soul Devouring Spider Emperor True Body!"
Boom!
The moment she spoke, Bibi Dong's entire body turned a ghastly green.
She was completely enveloped in a green mist of light.
The true body of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor had a special trait.
No matter how severe her injuries, she could activate it a second time.
This additional transformation not only amplified her overall strength but also partially healed the injuries she sustained while using the first transformation.
However, it could only be used once.
Soon, Bibi Dong had regained some of her condition.
But she still felt terrible.
She had already used all of her life-saving abilities against Xue Tianyu.
From this point on, she was truly at risk of dying!
Xue Tianyu looked at Bibi Dong, who had recovered some of her momentum, and sighed.
'She's kind of hard to kill.'
But this kind of skill couldn't be used too many times.
Xue Tianyu's Ice Dragon Claw slashed forward.
Bibi Dong's spider spear arms had fully regenerated.
After witnessing Xue Tianyu's terrifying strength, she no longer dared to underestimate him.
All eight spider spears simultaneously pushed against the ground, launching her backward in an instant, allowing her to evade Xue Tianyu's Ice Dragon Claw.
Immediately after, her sixth soul ring lit up.
"Sixth Soul Skill – Eternal Wound!"
Her transformed spider spear arms radiated an intense emerald glow.
Her hands morphed into two massive, emerald-colored spider scythes.
Both scythes lifted high and slashed down in a crossed motion.
A massive, green, X-shaped energy wave surged forth, slashing toward Xue Tianyu.
This was one of Bibi Dong's most domineering single-target attacks.
The green cross-shaped wave ignored physical defense and reduced magic defense by fifty percent.
Once it hit, the inflicted wound would continuously spread.
The only way to resist this effect was through soul power. Once the soul power was exhausted, it would start consuming life force until death.
Sensing the immense power of the attack, Xue Tianyu knew he couldn't take it head-on.
"Looks like I'll have to use that move."
Xue Tianyu extended both hands, and his overwhelming soul power erupted.
Behind him, nine soul rings slowly emerged.
"Eight red… one gold!"
However, unlike Bibi Dong's peak-tier soul ring configuration, Xue Tianyu's display was something unprecedented.
Red!
Red!
Red!
Red!
…
Gold!
Nine brilliant soul rings floated behind Xue Tianyu, rising into the air.
Their dazzling colors carried a pressure unique to top-tier soul rings, making Bibi Dong's breath hitch.
Most shocking of all was the final golden soul ring, radiating with brilliance and perfectly complementing the eight red rings before it.
"Impossible! No! This is impossible!!!"
Bibi Dong's face was filled with disbelief!
She refused to accept what she was seeing, but the nine soul rings were clearly there, glaringly vivid.
'What kind of god-tier soul ring configuration is this?!'
Wasn't there supposed to be an optimal soul ring distribution?
He had completely disregarded that theory and maxed out everything?!
Had Yu Xiaogang's theories been wrong all along?
Bibi Dong couldn't believe what she was seeing and immediately unleashed another strike!
Xue Tianyu watched the green energy wave approach and lightly pressed his palm against his chest.
"The north wind rises, freezing all in ice!"
