Chapter 648 Purple Demon Eye: Asura Demon Light

Undoubtedly, the higher a Soul Master's Soul Power, the faster they could retreat. The dense crowd couldn't stop these high-level Soul Masters; they either leaped over their own lower-level Soul Masters, or, more forcefully, smashed through them. The high-level Soul Masters quickly reached the forefront of their retreat. This naturally exposed the lower-level Soul Masters and support-type Soul Masters to the Tang family army.

While a galloping horse might not be able to catch up with a high-level Soul Master on a short distance, these low-level Soul Masters and support Soul Masters are simply no match for a galloping horse.

As Bibi Dong watched the Zhuge Crossbow fire for the third time, felling hordes of the Holy Dragon Legion's support-type and low-level Soul Masters, she closed her eyes in anguish. Only then did she realize her mistake in issuing the wrong order. Despite the enemy's strength, the Holy Dragon Legion was, after all, an army composed entirely of Soul Masters. If the high-level Soul Masters had been positioned at the front, allowing for a gradual retreat, even with some losses, the damage would not have been as severe as it was now.

However, it was too late to say anything now. Bibi Dong glanced at Tang San in the distance one last time, called out to her fellow Title Douluos, and swiftly retreated towards Jialing Pass. Before leaving, she didn't forget to take the heavily injured Serpent Spear Douluo with her. Among these powerful figures, the Serpent Spear Douluo was severely injured, and the Title Douluo in the previous red light had been torn to pieces. With the loss of two, plus the Heavenly Phenomenon Huyan Zhen and the Holy Dragon Tuoba hope, the Spirit Empire had undoubtedly suffered heavy losses this time.

Tang San had no time to chase after them. The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils also stepped in front of him. In the instant he was knocked away, Tang San's eyes were already bloodshot. How could he not see who had blocked Bibi Dong's attack for him?

That was none other than his beloved Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was using her Void Technique to unleash the Eight-Stage Throw against the Demon Bear Douluo. Seeing Tang San in danger, she didn't hesitate to bring the Demon Bear Douluo's body with her and rush to meet him.

Even amidst the turbulent storm, Demon Bear Douluo could still unleash his defensive power. He might be able to withstand some of the impact of the Eight-Stage Explosive Slam, but how could he possibly withstand Bibi Dong's terrifying Abyss Slash of Spatial Tear? He was instantly torn to shreds, but the aftershocks of the attack also slammed into Xiao Wu, sending her flying and crashing into Tang San's body.

Xiao Wu's body was now covered in blood. Tang San held her tightly and desperately poured his soul power into her body.

"Brother, I'm fine." Xiao Wu coughed suddenly, spitting out a mouthful of soul power, which made the clothes of the Shrek Five Monsters in front of her flutter.

Tang San was stunned for a moment. As the saying goes, concern makes one lose their composure. Seeing Xiao Wu seriously injured, he panicked. Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, he calmed down and eased the soul power he had channeled into Xiao Wu's body.

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes, showing no sign of weakness, and said with a wry smile, "My silly brother, have you forgotten? I have an invincible golden body protecting me! Bibi Dong didn't do anything to me, but if you input so much soul power again, I won't be able to withstand it."

Tang San finally realized what had happened, let out a long breath, hugged Xiao Wu tightly, lowered his head, and pressed his face against Xiao Wu's face, "Silly girl, you scared me to death."

Although Bibi Dong's Space Tear Abyss Slash was powerful, it had not yet reached the god level and was not enough to break through Xiao Wu's invincible golden body. Fortunately, Xiao Wu still had the last bit of invincible golden body defense; otherwise, she would probably have been torn to pieces like Demon Bear Douluo.

Tang San suddenly slapped Xiao Wu's pert buttocks. Xiao Wu looked up pitifully and asked, "Brother, why did you hit me?"

Tang San snorted, "Even if you've used up all your Invincible Golden Body uses, you'll still rush at me, won't you?"

Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "That's why you need to be even more careful about your safety! Otherwise, don't blame me."

Regardless, Xiao Wu was alright, which greatly relieved Tang San. He picked her up and looked towards the battlefield. The battlefield was in complete chaos, with twenty legions of the Heaven Dou Empire pressing towards Jialing Pass. After being hit by three volleys of fire from the Zhuge Crossbow, the Holy Dragon Legion had suffered nearly half its losses, and with the pursuit of over six thousand Heaven Dou Empire Soul Masters, the casualties continued to rise.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and the Golden Iron Triangle, who had already transformed into Golden Sacred Dragons, charged forward like a sharp cone, leading their own Soul Masters in relentless pursuit of the fleeing Sacred Dragon Legion.

The Tang family army had already split into two groups and quietly withdrew from both sides. Their role in this battle had been clearly demonstrated. In order to avoid their losses, the master ordered the Tang disciples to stay in the Soul Master Formation to assist in the attack, while the remaining 10,000 Tang family soldiers retreated directly to the rear to reload the Zhuge Crossbow.

The eight heavy-armored legions of the Spirit Empire finally stepped forward, yielding to the Spirit Masters of the Holy Dragon Legion, only to be met by the frenzied army of the Heaven Dou Empire. Two torrents of steel, one charging forward with accelerated momentum, the other already timid, clashed. Although their numbers were roughly equal, the outcome was immediately decided by the six thousand Spirit Masters leading the charge.

Bibi Dong had already retreated to the top of Jialing Pass. Only then did she secretly spit a mouthful of blood into her sleeve, her face turning extremely pale.

The Porcupine Douluo said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, should we send out the Angel Legion? Otherwise, our losses..."

"We cannot send out the Angel Legion." Bibi Dong's eyes were dark and uncertain. "Until we figure out what those weapons that killed so many of our Soul Masters were, we absolutely cannot let our Soul Master Legion take any more risks. Soul Masters are not soldiers; even with our resources, we cannot rebuild them in a short time. Pass on my order: the Angel Legion, take to the city walls to prevent the enemy from attacking."

The huge hole in the Jialing Pass city wall undoubtedly posed a great crisis to the entire city's defenses. Once the Tiandou Empire's army crossed the river, this would be the breakthrough point.

As she issued the orders, Bibi Dong's gaze also fell upon the black trident that lay calmly sunken into the ground below the city.

Finally, the remaining Holy Dragon Legion Soul Masters, under the cover of the eight heavy armored legions of the Spirit Empire, retreated back into Jialing Pass. However, along with their retreat, the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master Legion and its light and heavy cavalry legions had already arrived.

One side was unstoppable, charging forward with as many as 6,000 Soul Masters, possessing an overwhelming numerical advantage. The other side, however, had lost its momentum, with the Jialing Pass city wall and four drawbridges behind them. In the clash of the steel torrents, human lives were being ruthlessly reaped by death, like weeds.

The role of Soul Masters in war was instantly revealed, especially the Golden Triangle at the forefront—the Golden Sacred Dragon, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo. These three powerful figures, like tigers among sheep, almost instantly opened a breach in the Spirit Empire's heavy armored legion. The six thousand Soul Masters quickly separated, again with support-type Soul Masters in the rear, power-attack types in the front, and agility-type Soul Masters protecting the flanks. However, the outcome was completely different from when the Spirit Empire's Sacred Dragon Legion charged forward.

The Holy Dragon Legion faced the Tang Family Army's Zhuge Divine Crossbow, while the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master Legion faced ordinary soldiers. Although they wore heavy armor, what use was that heavy armor in front of Soul Masters?

Fire and ice attribute soul skills appeared first on the battlefield, as the students of the Four Elements Academy unleashed their power. Water and fire are merciless; these two absolute elemental forces were simply beyond the reach of armor. Following closely behind were the central assault force composed of Tang Sect's Imperial Hall and Medicine Hall disciples.

The disciples of the Imperial Hall led the way, followed by the disciples of the Medicine Hall. They worked in pairs. The heavy armor soldiers' attacks were like scratching an itch on the plate-armored rhinoceros armor of the Imperial Hall disciples. However, the Soul-Piercing Spears thrusting from the shoulders and ribs of the Imperial Hall disciples pierced through their armor as if it were made of paper. For almost every step the Imperial Hall disciples took forward, two hundred members of the Martial Soul Empire's heavy armored legion fell dead.

Six thousand Soul Masters, like a sharp dagger, plunged deep into enemy territory. What should have been a scene of the Spirit Empire attacking the Heaven Dou Empire's heavy armored legion, instead occurred against the Spirit Empire's own heavy armored legion. The sheer number of casualties was staggering.

At the Jialing Pass, generals from the various kingdoms and duchies that make up the Martial Soul Empire were kneeling in a sea of ​​kneeling.

"Your Majesty, please send the Soul Master Legion to rescue us! Our heavy armored legion is about to collapse."

"Yes, Your Majesty. These are our elite troops. We only have these 80,000 heavily armed soldiers at Jialing Pass. If the Heavenly Dou Empire breaks through, how will we defend the pass from the rear?"

"Your Majesty, the First Heavy Cavalry Legion is on the verge of annihilation. Please give the order immediately. If this continues, the heavy cavalry legion will be finished."

……

Heavy armored legions are extremely important in any country. The financial investment required to form one heavy armored legion is almost equal to that of ten infantry legions. Their equipment and soldier quality are among the highest in the military system. The kingdoms and duchies that originally belonged to the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo Empires were already fortunate to have one or two heavy armored legions. Now, seeing these precious troops being slaughtered under the onslaught of the Heavenly Dou Empire's army, how could they not feel heartbroken?

Bibi Dong looked at the generals before her with a grave expression and said resolutely, "The Soul Master Legion cannot fight any longer. I've said it before, we must not take any more risks until we understand what those weapons that inflict massive casualties on Soul Masters are. You must understand that while the Heavy Armor Legion is important, the Soul Master Legion is the decisive force. As long as the Angel Legion remains, with the natural barrier of Jialing Pass, we have nothing to fear from the Heavenly Dou Empire. Now! Pass on my orders: all ranged attacks must be deployed to cover the Heavy Armor Legion's retreat. The Angel Legion, guard the city walls. If the enemy follows and charges in, intercept them immediately."

Hearing Bibi Dong's orders, the kneeling generals exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with resentment. Of course, they dared not disobey Bibi Dong's commands; after all, no one wants to die. But in their hearts, a dark seed had been quietly planted. Bibi Dong's actions inevitably gave them the feeling that her Soul Master legion was elite, while their soldiers were not human.

The generals fell silent, but their suppressed anger only fueled Bibi Dong's frustration. Since the founding of the Spirit Empire, she had always been brimming with confidence, but only now did she realize that in true battlefield command, she was ultimately not a seasoned commander. She could manage to direct spirit masters in battle, but when the battlefield descended into chaos, her mind became unsettled.

Of course, this was not enough to change Bibi Dong's decision. In her heart, nothing was more important than the Soul Masters under her command.

The giant crossbows guarding Jialing Pass began to unleash their power, working in conjunction with a large number of archers to continuously hurle a barrage of arrows down upon the city.

Marshal Goron was prepared. Seeing that his own army had entered the enemy's range of long-range attacks, he immediately gave the order. The ten light cavalry legions that had charged into the battlefield from both flanks quickly dispersed, forming a large arc from both sides and sweeping backward. They did not go far, but reorganized their formation five miles away from the main battlefield, ready to support the front at any time.

Ordinary arrows posed no threat to heavily armored cavalry. Each cavalryman was like an iron can, and even their warhorses were encased in armor. Arrows could only leave a trail of sparks on their armor.

The real threat came from the giant crossbows used for defense. There were as many as 150 such crossbows at Jialing Pass, each bolt measuring 1.2 meters in length. Within a kilometer radius of their initial burst, their attack power surpassed that of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. Even ordinary Soul Masters would never dare to let them hit them head-on. Of course, the firing speed of these giant crossbows couldn't compare to the Zhuge Divine Crossbow; with proper preparation, it was still difficult for them to hit a Soul Master. Furthermore, the sheer size of the bolts allowed higher-level Soul Masters to prepare and intercept their attacks. Even so, under the barrage of these giant crossbows, casualties on the Heaven Dou Empire's side began to rise.

The eight heavy-armored legions of the Martial Soul Empire fought and retreated, having long lost their fighting spirit. Only after most of the soldiers withdrew to the other side of the drawbridge and held their ground, and with the help of the giant crossbows and arrows on the city walls, did the situation finally stabilize.

If the Grandmaster were to lead the Soul Master Legion in a forceful charge at this moment, these heavily armed soldiers would certainly not be enough to stop their advance; the huge breach in the Jialing Pass city wall was right in front of them.

But the master did not do so. After several charges were thwarted, the master and Marshal Goron exchanged a glance and immediately gave the order to retreat. The retreat was called.

The Heaven Dou Empire deployed only cavalry this time. Although heavy cavalry could not compare with light cavalry, they were still much faster than infantry. As a result, a large number of soldiers retreated like a tide. Grandmaster led the Soul Master Legion to provide cover from behind to prevent the Spirit Empire from launching a counterattack.

On the other side, the Shrek Seven Devils had also caught up and joined Grandmaster and the others.

"Little San, your trident..." Grandmaster said anxiously to Tang San. With his research on Soul Masters, he could naturally see the difference in strength between Tang San and Bibi Dong. Without the Sea God Trident, Tang San would definitely not be able to stop Bibi Dong's attack.

Tang San said, "Teacher, I have my own way. Don't worry." As he spoke, he quietly disappeared under the cover of the surrounding Soul Masters. How could he possibly abandon his absolute artifact? The invisibility effect of the Vast Ocean Protective Shield made him vanish into thin air. As his own army retreated, he quietly separated and rushed towards Jialing Pass like lightning.

The moat in front of Jialing Pass was completely stained red with blood, with countless corpses lying there. The vast majority belonged to the Martial Soul Empire.

Tang San stealthily made his way towards Jialing Pass. Once he reached the moat, even without crossing it, he was confident he could retrieve his Sea God Trident using his Crane Control Dragon Capture Technique. Although Bibi Dong was strong, he couldn't defeat her head-on, and keeping her there was impossible.

However, just as Tang San was about to reach the distance where his Crane Control Dragon Capture Technique could be used, he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body. On the city wall, Bibi Dong's gaze had already fallen on him like a sharp sword.

How could this be? Tang San was shocked and instinctively rolled sideways. With a loud bang, a thick crossbow bolt suddenly exploded beside him. It was a giant crossbow personally controlled by Bibi Dong.

Tang San was shocked and dared not continue forward. However, he did not understand that his spiritual power was even slightly greater than Bibi Dong's. As long as he did not use his soul skills to attack, with the protection of the Vast Ocean Shield, Bibi Dong should have been able to discover him at least until he retrieved the Trident of the Sea God.

Bibi Dong stood atop the city wall, coldly watching Tang San's direction. Indeed, with her spiritual power alone, she was naturally insufficient to detect Tang San. However, when her gaze fell upon the Trident of the Sea God, she already anticipated that Tang San would come to retrieve this super weapon capable of rivaling her.

Therefore, Bibi Dong kept a close eye on Tang San's movements. Although Tang San was well concealed under the cover of the Soul Master Legion, she still managed to spot him. Among the Title Douluos around Bibi Dong, one possessed a peculiar skill: the ability to connect one's spiritual power with that of others. Bibi Dong's spiritual power alone was insufficient to detect Tang San, but with deliberate attention and the combined spiritual power of another Title Douluo, she narrowed down the search area and still managed to locate him.

Tang San gracefully retreated, abandoning his concealment and revealing his true form. He gazed at Bibi Dong atop the Jialing Pass, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips. "So, you think you can stop me from retrieving the Trident of the Sea God?" Bibi Dong certainly possessed the confidence to do so based on her strength, but the Trident of the Sea God was a weapon exclusively for the Sea God; how could anyone else so easily touch it?

Tang San stopped about two thousand meters away from Jialing Pass and found a relatively flat and clean spot on the battlefield where he sat down cross-legged.

His mental energy focused instantly, and the trident mark of the Sea God on his forehead suddenly shone brightly, with intense golden light emanating from above and illuminating Tang San's body.

In his previous battle against Bibi Dong, Tang San's energy expenditure was undoubtedly enormous. While the Trident of the Sea God severely injured Bibi Dong, Tang San himself also consumed a significant amount of soul power in the process of unleashing that one-way attack. Fighting a powerhouse of Bibi Dong's caliber meant that every second was a significant drain on his energy. However, his mental energy expenditure wasn't as high, only amounting to a portion when using the Sea God's Light with the Trident of the Sea God. Compared to his soul power, his mental energy was currently quite sufficient.

In fact, Tang San had a backup plan for Bibi Dong's seemingly fatal attack. While the "Never Return" attack failed to stop Bibi Dong's assault, Tang San was confident he wouldn't die from her Spatial Tear Abyss Slash. His confidence stemmed from his unique ability to rival, and even surpass, Bibi Dong's mental strength. He was waiting for the Spatial Tear Abyss Slash to reach a certain distance, giving Bibi Dong no time to react. He might suffer some injury, but if he used his Purple Demon Eye at that moment, Bibi Dong's attack wouldn't be able to land entirely on him. How could Tang San be so careless as to not have a backup plan? This is why he felt such deep regret when he saw Xiao Wu block the attack.

At this moment, Tang San's spiritual power surged once again, completely solidifying on the Sea God Trident mark. His body was as if it had been covered by molten gold. Starting from the top of his head, in just a few breaths, his entire body was completely dyed gold.

A powerful energy fluctuation was displayed at this moment, and the terrifying mental fluctuations reached their peak almost instantly. That's right, there were no trees here, so Tang San couldn't use the Blue Silver Domain to greatly enhance his mental power, but he still had another domain.

A mixture of white and red light appeared beneath Tang San, instantly enveloping his body. The light was concentrated and did not dissipate, existing only around his body. However, even in such a small area, the terrifying killing intent it generated was directed at Bibi Dong atop the Jialing Pass.

What was he trying to do? Bibi Dong frowned deeply. She didn't believe Tang San would dare to come and retrieve the magical trident while she was locked on. If he really dared to come, with her and the strength of the Title Douluos around her, he would surely not return. But he was stopped two thousand meters away, a distance that even her soul skills couldn't reach. What could he possibly do from that distance?

Tang San quickly gave his answer. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pupils were completely dyed gold, and his condensed Killing God Domain almost instantly enveloped his body. The white and red light, carrying an extremely terrifying killing intent, merged into the golden light spewing from his eyes.

Two gazes merged in the air, and under the cover of white and red light, they suddenly burst forth, actually rushing towards Bibi Dong on Jialing Pass from a distance of two thousand meters apart.

The instant Tang San unleashed that gaze, Bibi Dong felt as if her very essence, energy, and spirit could no longer leave her body. Even the air around her seemed to have been sucked away. It wasn't just a simple manifestation of killing intent; the fact that it could elicit such a strong reaction from such a distance spoke volumes. The terrifying killing intent was like a gaping maw, and even with several Title Douluos protecting her, Bibi Dong felt utterly helpless and isolated.

The bright golden light was enveloped by an intense red and white light, and the distance of two thousand meters was almost lost in an instant.

Bibi Dong let out a sharp cry, and the spiderweb-like patterns on her forehead suddenly turned purplish-black, condensing into a purplish-black light that met the attack head-on. Even she herself felt a strong sense of danger at this moment. She had clashed with Tang San's spiritual power before, but at that time, although Tang San's spiritual power had reached the vast realm, his soul power was only around level eighty. Now, Tang San's soul power had truly reached the level of a Title Douluo, and his spiritual power had naturally increased again. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Tang San possessed the Purple Demon Eye, a special skill that allowed him to completely concentrate his spiritual power into a single point to launch an attack. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, did not have this skill.

This is also a key reason why Tang San was able to launch a mental attack across two thousand meters while Bibi Dong couldn't.

However, just as the intense golden light was about to reach her, and Bibi Dong had even prepared herself for a severe mental shock, drawing a large amount of the spiritual power of the Title Douluo she was connected with to defend herself, the golden light that should have reached her suddenly changed direction after passing the moat, and rushed downwards, heading straight for the Sea God's Trident that was embedded in the ground.

"We've been tricked." This was Bibi Dong's first thought. Without hesitation, she soared into the air and charged straight at the Trident of the Sea God beneath the city.

The Grandmaster understood, and of course she understood, that if Tang San couldn't retrieve the true divine artifact, his strength would drop a level, giving her a greater chance of killing him in their next battle. Therefore, Bibi Dong absolutely did not want to see Tang San retrieve the divine artifact.

At that moment, Tang San, two thousand meters away, had already taken to the air. His Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, Demon Tiger Whale left leg bone, and the soul bones of both thighs exerted force at the same time, propelling his body like a cannonball towards the direction of Jialing Pass.

Bibi Dong's reaction was undoubtedly fast, but her speed was ultimately no match for light. The golden light, emitted from the Purple Demon Eye and accompanied by red and white colors, shot straight to the ground, as if it had eyes, and landed on the Heart of the Sea God beneath the main blade of the Trident of the Sea God.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's body was descending from the sky, lunging towards the Trident of the Sea God, determined to stop Tang San from retrieving it. Just as she was focusing more on Tang San, who was rushing towards her, suddenly, the golden light that had plunged into the ground returned.

In her haste, Bibi Dong could only unleash the spiritual energy she had just withdrawn once more. The purplish-black energy had barely passed over her body when it violently collided with the golden light. At the same time, the Trident of Poseidon, embedded in the ground, erupted with an unparalleled burst of intense golden light.

boom--

Bibi Dong felt as if her brain had exploded in that instant, intense pain engulfing her entire body. The golden light was not only filled with a terrifying mental shock, but also carried the sacred aura of the Trident of the Sea God, as well as a terrifying killing intent that was extremely condensed, vast, and majestic. That killing intent brought her not only a feeling of oppression and terror, but also a sense of familiarity.

A blankness filled her vision. Bibi Dong's already injured body bled from all seven orifices, making her look extremely terrifying. She was thrown back by the powerful impact and crashed heavily against the city wall. At the same time, on the city wall, the Title Douluo who had lent his spiritual power to Bibi Dong was also bleeding from all seven orifices. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

The clash of mental power is even more dangerous than the clash of soul skills. Even for a Title Douluo-level expert, a problem could be fatal.

Meanwhile, Tang San had arrived at the moat. With a wave of his right hand, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Spirit Empire generals, soldiers, and Soul Masters on Jialing Pass, the Trident of the Sea God returned to his grasp like a golden dragon emerging from the sea.

Without pausing, and without even glancing at the heavily injured Bibi Dong, Tang San leaped into the air and flew back to his own side. On the city wall, the six Title Douluos of the Spirit Empire, still possessing ample fighting power, didn't dare to give chase at this moment, simply watching Tang San drift away.

"Hold on, you must hold on," Tang San kept shouting to himself. He knew Bibi Dong was seriously injured, but he was also nearing the end of his life. He was certain that if he had gathered his last strength to launch another attack on Bibi Dong, she might not have died, but her injuries would have been far more severe. But if he did that, he would lose his own life.

Why did Tang San become so weak? It was because of that golden light. An attack that could inflict such damage on Bibi Dong must have cost him dearly. For that attack, Tang San had given up almost all of his mental and spiritual power.

His spiritual power erupted through the Purple Demon Eye, while his soul power instantly condensed through the God of Slaughter Domain. His soul power entered the Title Douluo realm, and both domains evolved simultaneously. The final evolution skill of the Blue Silver Domain was "All Rivers Run into the Ocean," while the final evolution skill of the God of Slaughter Domain was "Asura Appears."

Just as Tang San's great-grandfather Tang Chen said, the City of Slaughter was originally built by the God of Asura, but it was defiled by the evil Rakshasa God. However, this God of Slaughter Domain still belongs to the power of the God of Asura. Although it is not true power, when it evolves to its most loyal state, it can still release a portion of the God of Asura's divine might.

In that attack, Tang San unleashed the final evolution of his Killing God Domain, the Asura Manifestation, but without producing a illusory image of the Asura, he misled Bibi Dong. He then merged the temporarily borrowed Asura power with his Purple Demon Eye and released it.

Otherwise, even with his strong mental power, how could he possibly injure Bibi Dong from a distance of two thousand meters?

Even so, when Tang San's attack crossed two thousand meters, it quickly weakened. Bibi Dong was defending at close range, so it was almost impossible for Tang San's attack to hurt her.

However, it was at this moment that Tang San fully demonstrated his control and intelligence in battle. He forcibly controlled the Asura Demon Light of the Purple Demon Eye to fall straight down, shining on the Heart of the Sea God of the Trident.

Stimulated by the Light of the Sea God, the Heart of the Sea God instantly unleashed the power of the Sea God, merging into the Asura Demon Light. Simultaneously, it communicated with Tang San through this spiritual force. Under Tang San's control, the Heart of the Sea God reflected like a mirror, not only compensating for the Asura Demon Light's energy depletion over the two-thousand-meter distance with the power of the Sea God, but also infusing it with its own divine aura. This allowed the full power of the attack to be displayed.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong, seeing Tang San's attack shift, almost instinctively assumed his target was the Trident of the Sea God, and that he intended to reclaim it. Therefore, her focus was primarily on Tang San himself, concentrating on how to stop him from taking back the Trident. Unexpectedly, the light that had filled her with such intense terror reflected back and struck her once more. Caught off guard, Bibi Dong's defenses were weaker than they had been on the city wall. She was immediately severely injured, and in doing so, also implicated the Title Douluo who had transferred his spiritual power to her.

Of course, only Tang San knew all these details; even the severely injured Bibi Dong didn't understand how Tang San had done it. However, what happened was a completely different story in the eyes of the soldiers of both armies. They only saw Bibi Dong being defeated, bleeding from all seven orifices, crashing into the city wall and falling off Jialing Pass, and Tang San proudly retrieving the Trident of the Sea God; they couldn't see Tang San's own weakness.

Haha, Xiao San is back! I'm exhausted; it was a nearly ten-hour flight back. Completely worn out, I even squeezed this chapter in while in Germany. Time to get back to work! It's past midnight, and Xiao San still hasn't adjusted to the time difference, so I'm posting Monday's update early. This trip to the Frankfurt Book Fair with Shanda Literature was a great success. Although I'm very tired, it showcased the strength of China's digital publishing industry to foreigners. In terms of model, we are definitely number one in the world, leading the way globally.

It's Monday, and Xiao San is finally back! I can't resist asking everyone for a little something extra—recommendation votes, please. How about that? Hehe. Monthly votes would be even better, of course. With Xiao San back, I feel much more at ease. I'll definitely work even harder on my future writing and make Douluo Continent a success. Thank you.
