Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face immediately turned ashen, and before she could react, Xiao Tian directly turned to Qian Daoliu, who was standing nearby, and challenged him: "And you, High Priest, why didn't you harden your heart and kill Bibi Dong directly after she gave birth to Qian Renxue?
Do you also believe in your heart that what Qian Xunji did to Bibi Dong truly outweighs Bibi Dong's betrayal of Spirit Hall?"
"I'm not saying this to excuse Qian Xunji. Qian Xunji clearly had many ways to deal with Bibi Dong, but he chose the most immoral and shameless method.
It's true that such things are common among nobles, but your Spirit Hall claims to be a commoner organization, and your system goes against the Two Great Empires. When such things happen among you, just like those nobles, your mistakes will be infinitely magnified."
"People will think: 'Ah, it turns out Spirit Hall is no different from the Two Great Empires or even the other great Sects; they all do such despicable things behind the scenes!'"
Qian Daoliu:
Qian Renxue:
Why is Xiao Tian firing a broadside?
Qian Daoliu's face twitched, and he sighed, saying, "I just didn't want Xiaoxue to lose her father, and then also lose her mother. Perhaps…"
"Perhaps what? Do you think someone as stubborn as Bibi Dong would unleash maternal radiance as she watched Qian Renxue grow up? High Priest, you weren't young at the time. I understand this principle, so why couldn't you?"
"If I had to choose, I would rather kill Bibi Dong and leave a kind lie. For example, Bibi Dong died in childbirth because her Spirit attribute became more inclined towards darkness after she chose to devour Qian Xunji, affecting her temperament. And Qian Renxue's Spirit possesses extremely strong light and sacred attributes, making her the bane of all evil, so Bibi Dong couldn't withstand this power and died in childbirth.
Or, while hunting Spirit Beasts, she encountered a beast tide riot and died in the tide. Couldn't that have worked?"
For a moment, Xiao Tian blurted out two relatively good reasons.
However, he preferred the second one, because the first might cause Qian Renxue to feel guilt, affecting her future Angel God Trial, making her feel remorse, and thus failing the Ninth Trial when the seven emotions and six desires are tested.
Qian Daoliu:
"Enough nonsense!" Bibi Dong roared, her face gloomy as she looked at Qian Renxue: "Are you going to attack me in public?"
Looking at the Red Dragon Tooth in her hand and feeling the slight tremor of the blade, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue pointed her sword at Bibi Dong, and a Seraphim phantom appeared behind her. Her entire being exuded a sacred, bright aura, filled with a sense of resolve.
This person in front of her killed her father; she was unforgivable!
Although she also did not approve of her father's actions towards Bibi Dong, as it truly did not align with the noble and magnificent image of an Angel.
But if her father hadn't done that, perhaps she wouldn't even exist.
She had seen too many such incidents during her undercover work in the Heaven Dou Empire.
She had secretly purged quite a few such nobles, but there were simply too many nobles who did such despicable things, from princes and kings down to barons and other nobles.
Some low-ranking nobles died without understanding why, but nobles like Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing could not be dealt with without a meticulous plan.
And to her shame, at that time, her mind was focused on stealing the Heaven Dou throne. Seeing Xue Beng so dissolute, she indeed let down her guard, believing him to be beyond saving. Furthermore, two princes had already died, and by poisoning, so she could no longer act against Xue Beng.
If Xue Beng were to die again, Emperor Xue Ye would completely turn his spearhead towards her.
When the two princes died, Emperor Xue Ye said nothing on the surface, but in his heart, he already had a hint of suspicion, but he did not do anything to her.
After all, the imperial family is the most ruthless!
Of course, the main reason Xue Ye didn't act against her was that he always believed she was still Xue Qinghe, his bloodline. As long as it didn't endanger him as the Emperor, he generally wouldn't have any objections.
"Hmph! With your strength, you dare to attack me?" Bibi Dong snorted coldly, and her nine spirit rings appeared simultaneously!
Subsequently, Bibi Dong's upper body was covered in a layer of purplish-black armor, even her face obscured by a carapace.
Below her eyes, four small eyes grew out. Her legs disappeared, and her abdomen downwards transformed into a massive spherical body. From this spherical body grew eight thick, long legs covered in large tufts of green hair, accompanied by nauseating mucus.
It dripped onto the ground with popping sounds, strongly corrosive, making Bibi Dong resemble a giant venomous spider.
This was Bibi Dong's first Spirit, the Death Spider Emperor, in its possession state!
This was also why Bibi Dong was unwilling to use her Spirit in public; it was too ugly!
But now, at a critical moment of life and death, she couldn't care less.
This was also the first time Qian Renxue had seen Bibi Dong's Spirit possession state.
To be honest, it somewhat shocked her. Are all spider Spirit possession effects like this?
Why would it turn a once beautiful mature woman into such a sight?
It wasn't that she hadn't seen Spirit Masters with spider Spirits, but those Spirit Masters all grew eight legs from their backs, just like Tang San's Eight Spider Lances before.
And Bibi Dong's current appearance was a human head on a spider body, only lacking an upper body from the Martial Soul True Body state!
This kind of 'complete' possession form was the first time she had seen it!
No wonder she had never seen Bibi Dong use Spirit possession for so many years. Even when fighting enemies, during the Soul Master Competition, she only used spirit power and did not display her Spirit.
Thinking of the Soul Master finals and Bibi Dong's indifference to her, Qian Renxue felt a pang of sadness but also firmed her resolve; she couldn't be soft-hearted.
Bibi Dong didn't choose to protect her when she was in danger, which meant that maintaining her image in front of Yu Xiaogang was far more important than her daughter's life or death!
Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong's appearance, her eyes somewhat complex: "When I was in danger, you didn't choose to save me. Was it because of this? You didn't want to show this appearance in front of your Yu Xiaogang?"
"Yes!" Bibi Dong blurted out without hesitation. My appearance is truly too ugly.
Even if Xiaogang wasn't there at the time, I wouldn't have displayed my Spirit.
"Well, I'm truly sorry, but Yu Xiaogang died before I came here, and the Clear Sky Sect has been razed to the ground by me!" Xiao Tian looked at Bibi Dong with a teasing expression.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face indeed changed dramatically, looking as if she wanted to devour Xiao Tian.
"You! You actually dared to kill him!" Bibi Dong was enraged, and her seventh spirit ring rose from her body.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Death Spider Emperor True Body!"
Subsequently, Bibi Dong herself directly transformed into a giant spider, becoming the Death Spider Emperor itself.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Death Spider Emperor True Body!"
The next moment, an identical Bibi Dong clone appeared.
Bibi Dong's eighth Spirit Ability could create a clone with 100% of the main body's power, lacking intelligence and requiring control, and capable of using the main body's first seven Spirit Abilities with 100% power.
Subsequently, Bibi Dong's main body flew towards Xiao Tian, while this clone flew towards Qian Renxue.
In her opinion, the current Xiao Tian was far more dangerous than Qian Renxue.
Although Qian Renxue held a sword comparable to a divine artifact, with Qian Renxue's current strength, she simply couldn't unleash the power of this divine sword.
This divine sword in Qian Renxue's hand was no different from an ordinary sword, at most, the sword's quality was better and it was sharper. She only needed to be a little careful, and that would be enough.
However, Bibi Dong had no idea that at Xiao Tian's signal, the Red Dragon Tooth would slowly guide Qian Renxue, allowing her to unleash power far exceeding her current strength.
If Qian Renxue, originally, could only rely on her Spirit Saint cultivation and basic Sword Intent, holding the Red Dragon Tooth without guidance, under full power, she could only unleash the strength of a Level 95 Titled Douluo or so.
Without the Red Dragon Tooth, Qian Renxue's full power was already at the level of a Level 91 or 92 Titled Douluo. Not to mention killing, she could at least fight back and forth.
And now with the Red Dragon Tooth, she could unleash Level 95 strength, and this was only unleashing one layer of the Red Dragon Tooth's power.
Moreover, this was with the enhancement of basic Sword Intent, and this Sword Intent was given by Xiao Tian's instruction, infused by Red Dragon Tooth, which was equivalent to opening a path of swordsmanship.
And now with the Red Dragon Tooth's active guidance, as long as Qian Renxue gradually adapts, she can unleash two to three layers of its power.
Don't underestimate this small amount!
With just this much, Qian Renxue, with the body of a Spirit Saint, gained the combat power to kill a Level 97 Super Douluo.
Level 98 is not impossible, but Qian Renxue is, after all, only a Spirit Saint, and her own spirit power is limited.
Ultimately, Qian Renxue's current strength is insufficient.
So, at first, under the guidance of the Red Dragon Tooth, Qian Renxue, casting her Martial Soul True Body and Angelic Domain, only fought to a draw with Bibi Dong's clone.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and held on tightly.
But the next moment, a surging power suddenly poured into her body. Xiao Tian's body also displayed seven spirit rings, but these seven spirit rings were incredibly dazzling!
Seven brilliant golden spirit rings!
Each one was 800,000 years old!
"spirit ring fusion?!" Qian Daoliu, who was observing from the side, watched this scene, secretly shocked in his heart, but he also felt that something was not quite right.
Right, Xiao Tian's combat power is not right!
If this was spirit ring fusion, then relatively, the spirit rings on Xiao Tian's body should have merged into Xiaoxue's body, right?
But why was Xiao Tian's aura growing stronger and stronger?
"Spirit fusion!"
Xiao Tian's lips curled slightly, and he spoke softly.
This was Xiao Tian's self-created 'Spirit fusion', which had a similar effect to spirit ring fusion but with significant differences.
The commonality: like spirit ring fusion, it could improve the efficiency of one's spirit power application, better unleash the effects of Spirit Abilities, and also increase combat power like spirit ring fusion.
There was no difference from spirit ring fusion in this regard.
The key lies in the differences. The difference is that spirit ring fusion concentrates all of one's spirit ring power onto one spirit ring, improving its output efficiency, which means increasing its power, or injecting all spirit ring power into another person's body to temporarily boost their strength.
Spirit fusion, on the other hand, fuses all of one's spirit ring power together, directly making spirit power operation more efficient, and then maximizing the power of each spirit ring.
And because it makes spirit power more efficient, Xiao Tian did not merge his blood-spirit rings into Qian Renxue's body, but rather infused spirit power into Qian Renxue's body, temporarily pushing her spirit power beyond its limit, until it reached the demigod level!
If it were only this, Qian Renxue might suffer immense pressure on her mental force due to a severe imbalance between her mental force and spirit power. Therefore, while performing Spirit fusion, Xiao Tian also performed Spirit essence fusion, transferring a bit of his mental force as well, allowing her spirit power and mental force to match.
Simply put, spirit ring fusion is many-to-one, with multiple spirit rings acting on one spirit ring.
Spirit fusion, on the other hand, is many-to-many. All spirit rings are hidden within the body, forming a huge spirit power conduit. Whichever Spirit Ability requires high-efficiency output, the power is transmitted there.
Spirit fusion is an exclusive talent skill of the blood-spirit rings.
It is precisely because these blood-spirit rings are essentially part of oneself that they can be applied in this way, while the traditional method of hunting Spirit Beasts and absorbing spirit rings can never learn this move.
Looking at Qian Renxue's gradually increasing strength, Xiao Tian suddenly thought of a meme.
Heaven-tier Dou Skill, Ghost Possession!
Isn't he currently Qian Renxue's 'Old Yao'?
Qian Renxue's sudden change also made Bibi Dong feel a strong threat.
This wasn't the most crucial part; at first, she could feel Xiao Tian's strength increasing, but gradually, she could no longer perceive it!
This indicated that Xiao Tian's strength had surpassed her by too much, reaching a level she couldn't imagine!
At least, it had already surpassed God-level powerhouses!
After all, although she hadn't completed her God Trial yet, she could already use quite a bit of Rakshasadivine force, and combined with her own demigod strength, she was actually very close to the level of a Level 100 Divinity.
It could be said that even if Qian Daoliu used his full power to fight her, he would no longer be her opponent.
The two powers of Rakshasa and Angel were inherently mutually reinforcing and restraining; either Rakshasa devoured Angel, or Angel evolved Rakshasa's evil thoughts.
Of course, all of the above were Bibi Dong's own conjectures.
In her opinion, with divine force, the only difference between her and a Level 100 powerhouse was a divine artifact and a tenth divine ring.
But now, facing Xiao Tian, a strong sense of fear arose in her heart. She hadn't felt this feeling in a long time.
The first and only time in her life was the day she was in the secret chamber, her darkest moment!
But now, looking at Xiao Tian, she actually felt a similar sensation!
It's too absurd!
Only a little over a month had passed since the Soul Master Competition!
Bibi Dong's charge towards Xiao Tian suddenly stopped, and in an instant, she flew in another direction.
She wanted to escape!
Her sixth sense told her that she must escape immediately, or she would truly die!
