Chapter 87: Yu Xiaogang Becomes a Eunuch
Bibi Dong's attack on Gui Mei instantly reversed the previously disadvantageous situation and also changed Tang Xiao's intentions entirely.
Just moments ago, Tang Xiao not only had to withstand Gui Mei's overwhelming attacks, but he also had to split his attention to protect the heavily injured Tang Hao and Tang San, forcing him into an extremely dangerous position.
If Yue Guan killed Yu Xiaogang, he would definitely join forces with Gui Mei to besiege the three of them.
In such a situation, Tang Xiao wouldn't even have been able to retreat safely.
As for Tang Hao—who was already barely clinging to life—he would have died without question.
When Bibi Dong attacked Yue Guan, and Gui Mei withdrew to his aid, Tang Xiao briefly saw a chance to escape with Tang Hao and Tang San.
But now everything has changed.
Bibi Dong, consumed with monstrous fury, was swearing to kill Gui Mei and Yue Guan on the spot.
This gave Tang Xiao a rare opportunity.
Gui Mei had devoured Ah Yin's transformed Blue Silver Grass, severed Tang Hao's legs and left arm, and stolen his soul bone.
Among them, the stolen left leg bone was a Clear Sky Sect heritage soul bone.
Yue Guan had severed Tang San's right leg and taken the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.
How could Tang Xiao possibly tolerate this?!
At the very moment Bibi Dong's Death Scythe slashed toward Gui Mei, Tang Xiao's figure shot into the sky. The Clear Sky Hammer swung fiercely downward, sending a violent attack straight toward Yue Guan!
"Tang Xiao, you bastard! You had the chance to flee, yet you dare to sneak attack me instead?!"
Facing Tang Xiao's brutal strike, Yue Guan did not dodge. A flash of light flickered on his right arm as he unleashed his hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill—Titan Firmament Breaker.
A mass of soul power compressed into a cannonball-like blast shot forward to collide directly with Tang Xiao's attack.
BOOM!!
A thunderous explosion blasted across the battlefield.
The entire battleground instantly ignited with chaos.
"Tang Hao! You will die today!"
Yue Guan roared in fury. Light flashed from his left arm as he unleashed another hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill—Thunder Orb Burst.
Dozens of thunder-bead spheres, each like a massive cannonball, rained down toward Tang San and Tang Hao.
Tang Xiao hurriedly withdrew and swung the Clear Sky Hammer again, activating Clear Sky Body Protection.
The thunder orbs crashed into the hammer shadows and detonated instantly!
BOOM—BOOM—BOOM!!
Violent shockwaves erupted in all directions.
The ground shook like a massive earthquake, splitting open with deep, jagged fissures.
Tang Xiao gritted his teeth and used all his strength just to barely withstand the blast.
He never expected that the flamboyant, effeminate Chrysanthemum Douluo would possess such terrifying offensive power.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
Gui Mei and Bibi Dong were fighting fiercely.
Neither of them had released their soul rings.
Whether it was the Death Spider Emperor or the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor martial soul, Bibi Dong's appearance would become monstrous and hideous once she entered Martial Soul Possession.
She refused to let Yu Xiaogang witness the hideous form her Martial Soul would take.
Even without releasing her Martial Soul or soul rings, Bibi Dong still possessed absolute confidence in herself.
After all, she had three hundred-thousand-year soul bones.
Two of these—her arm bones—were dropped from a single hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor.
A single soul beast producing two soul bones was an almost impossible miracle.
Those two soul bones were her greatest offensive weapons. They allowed for both close-range and long-range attacks, while also providing immense defense and explosive power.
A black blade of light slashed toward Gui Mei like Death's own scythe.
Gui Mei showed no fear. He swung the Nether Soul-Slaying Sword, releasing a razor-thin blade of compressed sword qi to meet the black light head-on.
Then he counterattacked.
Soul power surged as he swung his sword again!
Countless waves of sword qi shot toward Bibi Dong's purple-black figure, enveloping the skies.
Realizing the attack was no joke, Bibi Dong's figure flickered. In mid-air, she activated her external soul bone—Six-Winged Purple Light Wings.
Six thin, cicada-like purple wings unfurled behind her, instantly pushing her speed to its limit.
Almost at the same moment, her arms transformed into two enormous black scythes.
"Gui Mei, it seems I underestimated you. But in the end, you will still die by my hand!"
Her scythes swept outward. Dozens of black, death-laden blades of light slashed toward Gui Mei at incredible speed.
Gui Mei retaliated with another sweeping strike. His sharp sword qi sliced apart all the incoming blades.
The battlefield was filled with overlapping auras of death and corruption, enough to make anyone's skin crawl.
Bibi Dong stared at Gui Mei, and a tremor surged through her heart.
Only now did she truly realize:
The Gui Mei who had once cowered before her two years ago… had now grown strong enough to match her head-on.
"How is this possible?! How could his strength have increased so quickly?!"
Bibi Dong's fury mixed with unwillingness.
Without releasing her Martial Soul, she might not be able to kill him.
"Ling Yuan! What are you waiting for?! Take Yu Xiaogang and leave immediately!"
Bibi Dong let out a furious roar as the black scythes formed from her arms swept downward once more.
But this time, her target was not Gui Mei—who possessed teleportation and was hard to pin down—but Yue Guan, who was currently clashing with Tang Xiao.
Dozens of black blades filled with death aura streaked toward Yue Guan at terrifying speed.
At the critical moment, all four of Gui Mei's hundred-thousand-year soul rings erupted into view.
Instantly, the entire battlefield was drenched in blood-red light!
His third soul ring flashed brightly, activating the defensive soul skill—Demon Mirror of Annihilation.
A mirror-like barrier appeared in front of Yue Guan.
The black blades struck the mirror, producing a crisp shattering sound.
The mirror exploded with a deafening blast, and countless shards of condensed energy shot outward like razor-sharp arrows, firing toward both Bibi Dong and Tang Xiao.
When she saw the four hundred-thousand-year soul rings on Gui Mei's body, Bibi Dong froze in place.
"This… How is this possible?! Why does he have so many hundred-thousand-year soul rings?!"
And on the fourth soul ring, faint traces of two golden lines were visible—signifying it was even higher than a mere hundred thousand years.
While Bibi Dong was still lost in shock, Gui Mei unleashed a two-hundred-thousand-year soul skill—Sky Azure Fading Thunderclap.
A colossal blue-black thunder pillar descended from the sky, carrying destructive force as it crashed toward Bibi Dong.
Sensing the terrifying power within the lightning pillar, Bibi Dong hurriedly dodged.
At the same time, Ling Yuan spread her wings and flew toward Yu Xiaogang, preparing to carry him away from this land of death.
Although Ling Yuan did not wish to make enemies of Gui Mei and Yue Guan, she could not defy Bibi Dong's orders.
But just as she was about to reach Yu Xiaogang, her body suddenly stiffened—bound tightly by an invisible force. She could not move at all.
Yu Xiaogang, who had just seen hope arrive, instantly turned into a motionless puppet, completely unable even to utter a cry for help.
"Bibi Dong! When you first ascended the throne, Old Yue and I devoted ourselves to supporting you—yet you betray us with betrayal and slaughter! You brought this upon yourself!!"
Bibi Dong had repeatedly targeted Yue Guan, and Gui Mei finally snapped.
He would repay her in kind.
He would make Yu Xiaogang wish for death. He would make Bibi Dong taste endless agony!
Gui Mei instantly shifted into his first Martial Soul—Ghost Demon form.
His sixth soul ring glowed, and dozens of identical Ghost Shadow clones materialized around him.
These shadows all rushed at Bibi Dong simultaneously, each exploding upon contact.
His true body hid among them, forcing Bibi Dong to defend in panic as she swung her scythes to block.
"AH—!!"
A sudden, shrill scream pierced through the battlefield.
Blood gushed from between Yu Xiaogang's legs.
Holding his crotch, he collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony so intense he nearly passed out.
"Xiao Gang!!"
Seeing this, Bibi Dong instantly understood Gui Mei's intention—but it was already too late.
Her heart twisted as if countless knives were carving into it, and she let out a desperate scream.
Gui Mei released the binding on Ling Yuan.
A wave of scorching heat swept across the field as Ling Yuan grabbed the bleeding Yu Xiaogang and shot into the sky.
Neither Gui Mei nor Yue Guan attacked her.
Bibi Dong had anticipated this, which was why she ordered Ling Yuan to take Yu Xiaogang away.
But she never expected Gui Mei to use his clones to divide her attention while simultaneously striking Yu Xiaogang.
In this moment, a wave of crushing regret surged through her heart.
If she hadn't been so concerned about Yu Xiaogang seeing her hideous Martial Soul form… If she had released her Martial Soul and her spider emperor clones from the start… she might have protected him.
But now, everything was too late.
Yu Xiaogang had lost the most important part of a man. He was no longer a real man. Living would be more painful than dying.
"Gui Mei! You bastard!! How dare you humiliate Xiao Gang like this! I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!!"
Bibi Dong roared furiously, releasing a torrent of killing intent and hatred.
Now that Yu Xiaogang was gone, she had nothing left to restrain her. She could unleash her Martial Soul—completely.
As her soul power surged violently, the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul enveloped her body.
Her upper body became covered in dark purple armor, her face hidden behind a hardened shell.
Her legs vanished, replaced by a massive spherical abdomen with eight thick spider legs extending outward.
Each leg was covered in green hair, dripping with nauseating slime.
In Martial Soul Possession, Bibi Dong resembled a massive venomous spider—grotesque and terrifying.
Nine soul rings rose around her in sequence: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
In that instant, Bibi Dong's aura soared to its peak!
A chilling, dreadful pressure swept across the entire battlefield.
She would make Gui Mei pay a terrible price for harming Yu Xiaogang!
