Doulou Dalu 86

Qian Xunji knew that with the speed of the Angel's Divine Light, there was no chance for the Purple Flame Hades to evade.

Just as he predicted, the sudden attack struck true. The last burst of the Angel's Divine Light pierced through the massive form of the Purple Flame Hades, a towering figure more than ten meters tall.

It was like a laser slicing through a giant.

"What?!" Qian Xunji's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected the battle to end so easily.

But then, an uneasy feeling crept over him.

"Bibi Dong... could she have—?"

As he looked at the crumbling remains of the Purple Flame Hades, realization struck him. His face paled, fists clenched, and a trace of fear flickered in his eyes.

"No... Bibi Dong, I didn't want to kill you, but at this point, I have no other choice. I must uphold my dignity as the Pope!"

Yet, something felt wrong.

Memories of Bibi Dong's fight against Tang Huoer surfaced in his mind.

"Spider Emperor's Clone?"

His eyes snapped back to the battlefield, and sure enough, the Purple Flame Hades vanished into thin air like a mirage. In that same instant, the lingering traces of his last attack dissipated.

A trap.

Qian Xunji barely had time to react before he sensed the imminent danger behind him. Spinning around, he saw the towering, fifty-meter-tall six-winged angel turning alongside him. The angel clutched the Angel's Holy Sword, its divine radiance dimmed, in a desperate final counterattack.

But it was too late.

Before the angel could act, a blazing purple spear impaled its abdomen.

Bibi Dong wasted no time. Channeling her soul power, the six emerald-green spider spears on the Purple Flame Hades extended, stabbing forward with deadly precision.

Simultaneously, eight bone spurs shot out from her arms.

Bang!

The Angel Shield, the last line of defense, shattered like fragile glass. Holy light crystals scattered in the sky like a meteor shower.

For Qian Xunji, this was nothing short of a nightmare.

Without the Angel Shield, he was vulnerable.

Gritting his teeth, he mustered the last of his strength and swung the Angel's Holy Sword to block the attack.

A brilliant laser shot out from the golden mark on the Purple Flame Hades' forehead, piercing through the six-winged angel's arm and sending the Holy Sword flying.

With no shield and no weapon, the six-winged angel was utterly defenseless.

The Holy Sword tried to return to Qian Xunji, but before it could, Bibi Dong activated her soul power once more. Eight crescent-shaped energy waves flew from her hand, blocking the sword's path.

Lin Fan observed her with admiration.

Our teamwork is perfect.

Whenever he attacked, Bibi Dong would analyze their opponent's weaknesses. When she struck, he would exploit any openings she created.

Their martial soul fusion gave them an uncanny awareness of each other's movements. They didn't even need to speak to communicate.

The Angel's Divine Light was indeed a formidable technique—one of the strongest single-target attacks of the six-winged angel. Neither Lin Fan nor Bibi Dong had a skill that could directly withstand it.

But Bibi Dong had prepared for this.

She had noticed a residual energy in the Angel's Holy Sword and had preemptively used her second soul skill—Spider Emperor Clone.

Before the Angel's Divine Light was unleashed, her clone had already positioned itself hundreds of meters behind the six-winged angel.

At the critical moment, she swapped places with her clone, avoiding the attack entirely.

Such a powerful skill…

Now, Qian Xunji was cornered.

His Angel Shield was gone. His Holy Sword was blocked. His last resort had failed.

"No… Yueguan, save me!" Qian Xunji cried out in desperation. His martial soul form shattered, and the massive six-winged angel disappeared. Powerless, he plummeted from the sky.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate. He knew Ju Douluo would intervene, and this was his last chance to finish Qian Xunji before escaping.

Activating his Sky Eye ability, he locked onto his target.

The golden mark on the Purple Flame Hades' forehead flared with intense light.

A laser beam shot out at blinding speed, rivaling the Angel's Divine Light itself.

Before Ju Douluo could arrive, the first laser pierced through Qian Xunji's chest.

His golden armor shattered. A gaping, bloody hole replaced his dantian.

Lin Fan fired a second shot, but Ju Douluo intercepted it.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Golden Stamen Flowing Clouds!"

A storm of golden petals rained down, attempting to overwhelm the Purple Flame Hades.

Lin Fan fired three more lasers, cutting through the petals.

Then, he sensed another presence approaching from behind.

Ghost Douluo!

Bibi Dong's urgent voice reached him.

"Lin Fan, we have to go! Their martial soul fusion is too strong, and we only have ten minutes left before our soul power runs out!"

Lin Fan grasped her hand firmly.

"Yes, it's time to retreat," he agreed. "Use the speed of your Six-Winged Purple Wings to its fullest. I'll cover our escape."

Bibi Dong nodded. The wings behind the Purple Flame Hades flared with a dazzling glow.

At the same time, Lin Fan unleashed three final lasers, targeting Ghost Douluo.

As Qian Xunji fell from the sky, a smirk crossed Lin Fan's face.

That's right. This is my gift to you, Qian Xunji.

He hadn't aimed to kill—doing so would have invited Qian Daoliu's wrath. Instead, he had crippled him.

By destroying Qian Xunji's dantian, he had ensured that the man would never regain his former strength.

Even if Bibi Dong was forced to return to the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji would no longer be a threat.

In fact, his downfall would only accelerate Bibi Dong's rise.

Ghost Douluo hesitated. He knew the power of those lasers. If they could so easily nullify Ju Douluo's attack, they couldn't be taken lightly.

"Ghost Shadow Domain!" Ghost Douluo summoned his skill. Hundreds of shadows formed in the air, intercepting the lasers.

But it was already too late.

Bibi Dong and Lin Fan had vanished into the night.

And Qian Xunji... was no longer of any use to anyone.
