As the Angel's True Body was released, the hazy yet radiant form of the Six-Winged Angel expanded several times over. Its divine presence illuminated the sky, exuding an overwhelming sense of holiness.
Simultaneously, radiant beams of holy light burst forth, obliterating the surrounding poisonous purple mist and corrosive nets. The Six-Winged Angel raised its golden holy sword high, clashing violently with the purple spear wielded by the Purple Flame Hades.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion echoed across the sky.
Down below, the spectators in Douhun Mountain's stands stared in stunned silence. Two colossal figures—one bathed in white light, the other engulfed in purple flames—clashed in a battle that transcended human limits.
This was a true Titled Douluo-level battle. Any stray attack from either side could easily obliterate thousands.
A Shocking Development
Among the spectators, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Tang Yiran, and several other Tang family members had just finished detoxifying Tang Huo'er and her team. They turned their gazes skyward, their faces filled with disbelief.
Tang Xiao clenched his fists, his voice filled with confusion.
"How is this possible? Their spirit fusion technique is powerful enough to stand against a Titled Douluo? That shouldn't be possible..."
Tang Hao remained calm, his expression unreadable.
"There's nothing strange about it," he replied flatly. "Lin Fan's strength has long surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King. Both he and Bibi Dong possess twin martial souls. A fusion of two twin spirits would naturally result in a technique of unprecedented power. This could very well be the strongest spirit fusion technique on the entire continent."
Tang Yiran remained silent, his eyes fixed on the battle above.
Meanwhile, Tang Huo'er, Shui Yue'er, and Liu Erlong slowly regained consciousness, unaware of the terrifying spectacle unfolding in the sky.
The Battle Heats Up
As the golden light from the Six-Winged Angel intensified, the Purple Flame Hades retreated momentarily, its purple spear vibrating violently from the impact. Both Lin Fan and Bibi Dong were knocked back hundreds of meters.
Hovering within the Six-Winged Angel's massive form, Qian Xunji smirked, his golden sword now towering at nearly dozens of meters long. His angelic aura flooded the battlefield, suffocating all opposition. In terms of sheer presence, he appeared to have overpowered the Purple Flame Hades.
With a furious expression, Qian Xunji glared at Bibi Dong and shouted,
"Bibi Dong! You dare betray your master for this insignificant insect? Have you forgotten everything I have done for you?! Without me, how would you have received the Spirit Hall's only external spirit bone?"
Bibi Dong's expression remained cold and unreadable as she clasped Lin Fan's hand tightly.
She refused to be deceived by Qian Xunji's words.
She knew all too well that the Spirit Hall had granted her an external soul bone not out of kindness, but to use her in this Elite Competition—to eliminate Tang Huo'er and all threats to their rule. If she failed, she wouldn't just lose the external soul bone; she would lose everything.
A Tragic Past, A Different Future
Since joining the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had been forced to kill countless people. She had once witnessed the massacre of thousands, leaving only herself and one other girl alive. But only one could survive.
The girl—her only friend—had deliberately lost their duel, smiling even as she lay dying.
That moment had scarred Bibi Dong forever.
Qian Xunji had told her it was a necessary step to becoming strong. That those she killed were mere stepping stones. And she had believed it. For years, she had carried out his orders flawlessly, completing missions with chilling precision.
Had it not been for Lin Fan's intervention, she would have killed Tang Huo'er today, secured greater rewards, remained loyal to the Spirit Hall, and bided her time for revenge. She would have waited for Qian Xunji to be gravely wounded, then used her Soul-Eating Spider Emperor to devour his Six-Winged Angel, claiming his power and position.
That was how things were supposed to unfold.
But everything had changed.
Lin Fan wrapped an arm around Bibi Dong's waist, smirking at Qian Xunji.
"Don't bother wasting your breath. She's already my woman."
Qian Xunji's face twisted in rage.
Lin Fan chuckled, but a sharp glare from Bibi Dong made him shut his mouth instantly. He had nearly overstepped his boundaries.
The Final Clash Begins
Qian Xunji's eyes burned with fury. Raising his sword, he unleashed his Angel Domain once more, his voice thundering across the battlefield.
"You dare defy me?! Then die! Not only will I erase your existence, but I will also annihilate your family and everyone connected to you! This is the punishment of Qian Xunji!"
As his holy light expanded, Lin Fan's expression grew serious.
This was the strongest form of the Six-Winged Angel—a domain-powered Martial Soul's True Body, enhancing Qian Xunji's strength, speed, and resilience exponentially.
The angel's golden glow dominated the battlefield, spreading out like a divine decree. The entire sky seemed to belong to Qian Xunji alone.
Lin Fan tightened his grip on Bibi Dong's hand, his gaze sharp.
"We underestimated him," he muttered.
But they weren't backing down.
With a synchronized burst of soul power, the Purple Flame Hades charged forward, six dark purple wings flaring behind it. Lin Fan and Bibi Dong moved as one, their synergy perfect.
The Six-Winged Angel's radiance began to waver against the overwhelming purple flames.
Despite its power, the angel domain struggled against the ruthless charge of the Purple Flame Hades.
"Hold on tight," Lin Fan whispered to Bibi Dong.
The Purple Flame Spear shot forward, aiming straight for Qian Xunji's head.
With a resounding clash, the golden holy sword came down to meet it.
At the same time, Bibi Dong unleashed her hidden trump card—her six emerald-green spider spears lashed out, followed by eight deadly bone spurs.
The Six-Winged Angel could barely block the spear—but it was too late for everything else.
SPLURT!
The emerald-green spider spears pierced straight into Qian Xunji's head.
The bone spurs sank into his neck.
A choked gasp escaped his lips.
For the first time, Qian Xunji knew fear.
