Chapter 334: Who Doesn't Have Twin Martial Souls These Days?
High above the sky, the battle between Bibi Dong and her nephew-in-law Xiao Yu had reached a fever pitch. The terrifying clash stirred up fierce winds, and the surrounding space had become heavily distorted, showing faint signs of breaking apart.
The collision between Limit Douluo was too terrifying. Even the other airborne Titled Douluo instinctively distanced themselves from the two, fearing they'd be gravely injured by the overflowing energy.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Spider Emperor Clone!"
A black soul ring flashed, and to Bibi Dong's left, a clone suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Bibi Dong's eighth soul skill, Spider Emperor Clone, could create a duplicate with one hundred percent of her body's combat power. Although it could only use the first seven soul skills, it still possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo.
The summoned clone also activated its Martial Soul True Body. The original and the clone struck at Xiao Yu simultaneously with full force.
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as soul power surged rapidly through his right arm.
One hundred-thousand-year right arm soul bone skill—Nether Emperor's Furious Roar.
"Roar!"
A dragon's cry rang out as a massive, jet-black dragon soared into the sky, surging with boundless killing intent as it lunged at Bibi Dong's Spider Emperor Clone.
The black dragon moved like lightning, trailing streaks of black shadows behind it. Its speed left Bibi Dong with almost no time to react.
Her clone lacked human intelligence and needed to be controlled by her will. Since Bibi Dong couldn't react in time, the clone simply followed its most basic attack commands.
Boom!
A loud, drawn-out impact echoed through the air, but the energy shockwave spread even faster than the sound.
Bibi Dong's Spider Emperor Clone was blasted apart on the spot, shattered into countless fragments that scattered into the wind.
Xiao Yu waved his right hand, and the black dragon in the sky suddenly changed direction, turning straight toward Bibi Dong's real body.
"How is this possible?"
Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically.
Xiao Yu's right arm soul bone had already been exposed during the Spirit Master Tournament, and the Spirit Hall had thoroughly studied its skill, Nether Emperor's Furious Roar.
While the strike was indeed powerful, its limitation was well-known: its attack followed a straight-line trajectory, which meant once it hit a target, it could only continue moving straight behind it.
Yet this man… could actually control even a soul bone skill after releasing it!
As Nether Emperor's Furious Roar was about to land, Bibi Dong quickly crossed her arms in front of her and retreated rapidly.
Boom!
The black dragon slammed into Bibi Dong, unleashing all its energy in a single, violent burst.
As the violent energy storm dissipated, Bibi Dong's battered figure was revealed, blood dripping steadily through the air. If she hadn't activated her Martial Soul True Body and transformed into her demonic spider form, her clothes would have been torn apart by the blast.
But Xiao Yu's assault hadn't ended.
Just as Nether Emperor's Furious Roar dispersed, Xiao Yu was already in front of Bibi Dong. A wave of fierce force exploded forth, and a sword light filled with killing intent slashed down.
Caught off guard, Bibi Dong took the heavy blow straight to her chest. Her body was flung away like a cannonball, and a crack over an inch wide spread across her torso.
However, her Death Spider Emperor martial soul granted her formidable vitality. Her ninth soul skill, Undying Body, allowed her to survive any attack below god level. In just the blink of an eye, the crack vanished.
The wound was gone—but the pain remained.
Bibi Dong's eyes were icy cold. With a furious shout, soul power surged between her arms and burst into a dazzling light.
When the light faded, her arms had transformed into a pair of black scythes.
These two black scythes were transformed from the soul bones in Bibi Dong's left and right arms. Both arm bones had dropped from a single 100,000-year-old Death Spider Emperor.
It was almost unheard of for two soul bones to come from the same soul beast. These two were among her deadliest offensive trump cards.
Each of the arm bones had two identical skills. The first allowed her arms to transform into powerful, slashing scythes—just like now.
The second could detonate both scythes at once, creating a massive explosion that could block attacks or injure opponents.
The drawback: the scythe blades would shatter and need time to regenerate on their own.
Bibi Dong's speed was terrifying. In a flash, she closed a distance of dozens of meters. The black scythes slashed down with a surge of violent energy.
The massive scythes were nearly on top of him. Xiao Yu roared, pouring soul power into his right arm, which swelled until it was over half a meter thick.
100,000-year right arm soul bone skill—Nether Dragon Claw, activate!
His arm twisted into a claw shape and slashed downward. The gathered energy broke free and shot out like a massive claw.
Its five sharp fingers gleamed with a deadly cold light.
Dragon claw and twin scythes collided mid-air. In an instant, a terrifying shockwave exploded in all directions.
This time, neither side had the upper hand. Both Bibi Dong and Xiao Yu were forced back several steps by the backlash.
But to be fair, Xiao Yu had only used one soul bone—his right arm. Bibi Dong had used both arms.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Yu had still come out slightly ahead.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and stared coldly at Xiao Yu.
"Though I hate to admit it, your talent really is above mine. Even in ten thousand years, there might not be another as gifted as you."
"But—"
Her tone sharpened. "The winner today will still be me. Don't forget—I have twin martial souls!"
The moment she spoke, her martial soul switched. Her arms turned into dark green spears. Seven soul rings slowly emerged.
Five black. Two red.
"All seven rings on my second martial soul are over fifty thousand years old. There's no way I'll lose."
"First Soul Skill—Crescent Slash!"
Her first soul ring lit up. Six spider legs on the ground, and the two spears on her arms, all gathered at one point.
The eight tips touched. Instantly, eight green crescent-shaped blades slashed forward.
Boom! Bang! Boom! Bang! Bang! Boom! Bang!
Each of the eight blades landed squarely on Xiao Yu. Every hit echoed like muffled thunder.
"My attack isn't over!"
Just as the crescents faded, her sixth soul ring flared. The two spears crossed in front of her chest.
A beam of dark green energy burst outward.
This was her 100,000-year soul ring's mighty ability—Eternal Wound.
At that moment, Xiao Yu's body changed.
His six wings slowly retracted. The black armor faded. The Hades Sword morphed into a giant scythe.
It was more than three times larger than Bibi Dong's twin scythes.
Nine blood-red soul rings circled the weapon, exuding a power that made the space around them tremble.
"My dear mother-in-law," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "you're not the only one in this world with twin martial souls."
