Chapter 170: Bibi Dong vs A Rou!
A few more days passed, and finally, in a certain area, Hu Bai and his group discovered A Rou's whereabouts.
At this time, A Rou had already transformed into a human and possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo. Beside her, she held a small, delicate, pink girl.
"You all saw it, right?" Bibi Dong's expression turned serious. "That little girl emits a Soul Beast aura, and her mother beside her is also a transformed Soul Beast. However, I can't sense her Soul Beast aura, so her strength must not be weak."
One must know that after a Soul Beast transforms, to increase its soul power level, it needs to interact with humans. Yet, this transformed Soul Beast chose to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest.
That indicates her strength is not bad, and there's a high probability she's a Titled Douluo expert.
Of course, the intelligence Bibi Dong received earlier was that she was suspected of having the strength of a Titled Douluo.
But how strong she truly is, they would only know after contact.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, keep your Martial Soul Fusion Skill ready. If there's any sudden situation, use it immediately!" Bibi Dong said indifferently. Then, she took the lead, displaying her Purple Light Wings behind her, and flew rapidly toward A Rou's position!
This Hundred-thousand-Year External Soul Bone granted Bibi Dong two soul skills, one of which allowed her to unleash extremely fast flying speed.
Within a few seconds, the three-thousand-meter range instantly narrowed, and Bibi Dong could see A Rou and the little girl beside her with her naked eye.
A Rou's mental power was also strong; she sensed that she and her daughter were locked onto by a very strong mental power.
"Not good!"
"Third Soul Skill, Teleportation!"
Without a word, A Rou took Xiao Wu and tried to teleport away.
But she was ultimately a step too slow. As Bibi Dong approached, she activated her Death Domain and Death God Domain.
Under the pressure of the two Domains, A Rou's teleportation distance was greatly reduced.
One teleportation could only move Xiao Wu ten meters.
While ten meters might not be short in a competition, in a battle of this level, a mere ten meters was insufficient to escape danger.
Helpless, A Rou shielded Xiao Wu behind her. Her voice carried a hint of reluctance: "Xiao Wu, it seems Mama won't be able to accompany you as you grow up. Go hide in the nearby bushes immediately."
"Mama will try her best to buy you time, hoping Da Ming and Er Ming sense the disturbance here and can rush over quickly to take you away."
"No~ No~"
"Mama, if you go, we go together!" Xiao Wu's eyes gradually filled with tears. Her voice was choked with sobs, and her small hand pulled on A Rou's clothes, not wanting to be separated from her mother.
"Xiao Wu, be good. Listen to me."
A Rou sensed that the enemy was less than a hundred meters from her. With a hardened heart, she used her soul power to push Xiao Wu into the nearby bushes and temporarily sealed Xiao Wu's mouth with soul power to prevent her voice from escaping.
She knew this might be futile; this person should have sensed Xiao Wu's presence.
But if there was no other way in the end, she also had a method to let Xiao Wu leave!
That was a sacrifice!
After initiating a sacrifice, a barrier would appear around her body. This barrier could not be broken even by a Super Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo.
And during this time, Xiao Wu would have ample time to escape.
This was considered a bug ability among their Soul Beasts—very miraculous.
Subsequently, nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, red, black, black, black—slowly rose from beneath A Rou's body. With a forceful push of her right foot, she charged directly toward Bibi Dong!
"Nine-ring Titled Douluo!" Bibi Dong saw the nine soul rings on A Rou's body and immediately dared not be careless.
Based on Bibi Dong's mental perception, she could sense that A Rou's soul power was roughly at rank ninety-four, which was still far from being her opponent.
Although her soul power had decreased somewhat due to participating in the Rakshasa God Test, she was now at rank ninety-seven cultivation!
"Humans, we live well here. Why can't you leave us alone?"
A Rou's eyes were filled with killing intent as she looked at Bibi Dong. Her first soul ring rose.
"Waist Bow!"
A Rou stomped her foot forcefully and kicked Bibi Dong in mid-air.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Thousand Blades, Ten Thousand Shields!"
At this moment, Bibi Dong was using her first Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor. The translucent spider silk veil on her body was engraved with the shape of black spider webs, looking very bizarre.
This fifth Soul Skill was a defensive Soul Skill—a shield condensed from the Death Spider Emperor's spider web in front of her body.
A Rou's kick came over, but it couldn't break through the defense at all.
Seeing that her attack failed, A Rou immediately used teleportation to appear behind Bibi Dong, attempting to unleash the Instant Kill Eight-Stage Drop!
But with Hu Bai's mental detection shared, A Rou's movements were almost nonexistent in Bibi Dong's eyes.
"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint!"
Bibi Dong was unhurried. She condensed black spider silk in her right hand and threw it backward, instantly growing several strands of spider silk to bind A Rou.
A Rou's eyes narrowed, and the only red soul ring beneath her body rose: "Nihility!"
The moment Nihility was unleashed, the spider silks that were originally going to bind A Rou actually passed through her body!
A Rou also took advantage of this opening to unleash the second Soul Skill of her Ten-thousand-Year soul ring: "Instant Kill Eight-Stage Drop!"
Bibi Dong was caught off guard and was directly kicked in the back by A Rou, flying into the air!
Then, A Rou seized the opportunity to use teleportation, planning to complete the Eight-Stage Drop!
But how could Bibi Dong not have a countermeasure?
The previously extended Purple Light Wings completely enveloped her body.
Just as A Rou thought Bibi Dong was defending, the Purple Light Wings that had enveloped Bibi Dong suddenly flashed with purple light!
All the feathers on the wings suddenly became extremely sharp, shooting out in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree omnidirectional burst!
A Rou's expression instantly changed. Some of these chaotic feather attacks happened to fly toward the bush where Xiao Wu was hiding!
Without time to think, A Rou could only teleport again, flashing into the path where the feathers were destined to hit Xiao Wu.
Then, golden light flashed on her body.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
Bibi Dong also witnessed several of A Rou's soul skills at this moment. A slight smile curved her lips: "Teleportation, Nihility, Invincible Golden Body—what great life-saving soul skills!"
"What other methods do you have? Use them as much as you can!"
A Rou saw that she was constantly at a disadvantage. Helpless, she could only use her seventh Soul Skill.
Since she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had transformed, her Martial Soul True Body was actually herself. Therefore, her seventh Soul Skill was not Martial Soul True Body but rather the creation of five clones that possessed fifty percent of her original body's soul power.
These five clones directly surrounded Bibi Dong and rushed toward her at an extremely fast speed.
"Charm!"
"Instant Kill Eight-Stage Drop!"
Unfortunately, the strength of these five clones was too weak, possessing only fifty percent of the original body's soul power. After fully unleashing these two soul skills, the remaining soul power of the clones would likely be minimal.
Bibi Dong no longer hesitated, and her seventh soul ring emerged beneath her: "Seventh Soul Skill, Death Spider Emperor True Body!"
