Meeting those eyes blazing with fury, Bibi Dong's mind went blank for a moment, and she quickly tried to explain telepathically.
"Xue'er, let me explain!"
However, Qian Renxue, consumed by rage, was unlikely to listen to her explanation.
After Mu Ci told her the truth about what happened back then, and with Qian Daoliu's careful guidance over the past few days, and realizing that both sides had made mistakes in the past, Qian Renxue's intense hatred for Bibi Dong had already dissipated by more than half.
All that remains are the lingering marks of hurt left by Bibi Dong's deeply hurtful and cold words when she was young.
But today, Bibi Dong has staged this scene again because of Yu Xiaogang, which instantly ignited Qian Renxue's anger.
"Are you still hung up on him?!"
At the front of the crowd, Qian Renxue, disguised, moved her lips slightly, and her angry question entered Bibi Dong's ears through telepathy.
"Xue'er, I really didn't! This is just the easiest way to keep things quiet. Do you really want to disrupt the entire ceremony over such a small matter?" Bibi Dong could only respond with a wry smile, trying to persuade her with reason, "You've been operating in Tiandou for many years, you should understand this principle, shouldn't you?"
Old feelings? If she truly still harbored even a shred of old feelings for Yu Xiaogang, she should have been furious when Soto City heard of his injury back then.
In fact, if she were still the crazed Bibi Dong controlled by Rakshasa's evil thoughts, she would probably have already launched an attack regardless of everything, vowing to kill Mu Ci to vent her anger, so why would she have waited until today?
She understood these principles perfectly well, but Qian Renxue, blinded by anger and resentment, was unwilling to pay attention to them at all.
"I won't listen! I won't listen! Don't talk to me!" Qian Renxue, feeling wronged, abruptly turned her head away, stubbornly refusing to look at the platform. "I hate you so much!"
Just as Bibi Dong was struggling with how to appease Qian Renxue, a figure staggered onto the square.
Covered in dust and looking disheveled, Liu Erlong anxiously scanned the entire scene with her beautiful eyes. Finally, she spotted the Shrek Academy team waving at her, and her eyes instantly reddened. She immediately ran towards that direction with all her might.
As soon as Liu Erlong ran up, before anyone could even ask, Tang San couldn't contain his eagerness and excitedly asked first.
"Teacher Erlong, where's Xiaowu? I can't find her."
He waited for a long time, but only saw Liu Erlong running up to the square alone. A huge sense of disappointment overwhelmed him, followed by extreme anxiety and panic.
Tang San forcibly suppressed this ominous premonition, trying to convince himself.
Perhaps Xiao Wu was simply afraid of the many Title Douluos present, which is why she chose to stay in her room at Shrek Academy and didn't dare to come.
However, the truth remains to be seen, and we can only await Liu Erlong's answer.
Hearing Tang San's question, Liu Erlong's eyes reddened even more, her throat tightened, and she spoke with difficulty, "Xiao San, I..."
"Enough! How long is this farce going to continue? Silence! You can talk about it after the ceremony!"
Bibi Dong's cold voice, tinged with anger, suddenly resounded throughout the square, her majestic and beautiful eyes coldly sweeping over Yu Xiaogang in front of her.
Already in a terrible mood because of Qian Renxue's matter, her anger was instantly ignited when she heard the noisy chatter from Shrek Academy.
"What do you think, Master Yu?!" Bibi Dong's question carried an undeniable pressure.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Holiness! Please continue the ceremony!" Yu Xiaogang was confused, assuming that he and his group had indeed disturbed the ceremony. He glanced at Tang Hao kneeling on the ground, bowed and apologized, and then led everyone back.
Although the Shrek team appeared to have quieted down, Liu Erlong was still secretly explaining to Tang San, via telepathy, why Xiao Wu had not come.
Upon learning the whole story, Tang San was struck dumb. He looked up abruptly, his fierce gaze fixed on Mu Ci beside Bibi Dong! His eyes surged with a deep-seated killing intent and boundless hatred!
In Tang San's mind at this moment, the truth was obvious.
Xiao Wu's identity must have been discovered by Mu Ci, and she has been captured on the spot!
The dazzling 100,000-year soul ring on Dugu Yan's body must have originated from the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python!
After all, with Xiao Wu as a hostage, how could Da Ming and Er Ming not give in?
No wonder! He had always had a vague feeling that the aura of Dugu Yan's 100,000-year soul ring was strangely familiar.
It turns out that the opportunity should have belonged to Tang San!
"Damn you, Mu Ci! You've already chosen your own death!!"
At this moment, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily as he stared intently at Mu Ci on the high platform.
However, Tang San's gaze was far from enough to interrupt the ongoing process.
Bibi Dong, still seething with anger, was unwilling to delay any longer.
With a wave of her hand, a vast amount of gray soul power instantly gathered and condensed into a soul power blade exuding a chilling aura in her palm!
"Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao! Relying on his martial prowess, he has committed numerous major crimes. Today, I, in the name of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, declare..."
"Execute him! The death penalty!"
Chapter 225 Tang Chen?
The blade formed by Bibi Dong's condensed soul power suddenly took shape, its gray light chilling and sharp, surpassing any divine weapon in the world.
A strong aura of death clung to it; a mere glance was enough to send chills down one's spine and make one's legs tremble.
Just as Bibi Dong pronounced Tang Hao's death sentence and was about to bring down the blade,
The celestial phenomena above Wuhun City have undergone a dramatic change!
Without warning, rolling dark clouds surged and gathered, instantly covering the entire Wuhun City. Blood-red lightning, like mad snakes, darted through the thick clouds, and a deafening roar echoed across the sky.
A blinding crimson streak, carrying a destructive aura, suddenly cleaved down from the sky, its target Bibi Dong on the high platform!
At the same time, a furious roar that shook the heavens and overwhelmed the thunder resounded throughout the entire Wuhun City.
"Stop right there! I'd like to see who dares to hurt my Hao'er!"
The crimson streak was as fast as lightning, reaching Bibi Dong's head in an instant! The fierce attack forced her to temporarily abandon the execution and raise her hand to block.
Bibi Dong was slightly surprised.
The identity of the newcomer and the overwhelming sense of pressure from their soul power were both extraordinary.
She herself was already at the peak of level ninety-nine, so she could clearly sense that the attacker's soul power level was equal to hers!
Considering today's events and the resounding cry of "Hao'er" that echoed throughout the city, the identity of the newcomer is already quite obvious.
Tang Chen!
However, even when faced with this sudden attack from a peerless Douluo powerhouse, Bibi Dong showed no fear; instead, a cold light gathered in her eyes.
In terms of talent and ability, how could Bibi Dong be inferior to Tang Chen, the former Haotian Douluo? She might even surpass him!
In terms of true combat strength, even though her cultivation was partially suppressed due to the divine test, she was by no means someone who could be shaken by such a casual attack!
"Om-"
A deep hum resounded, and behind Bibi Dong, the enormous phantom of the Death Spider King flashed by, her martial soul instantly possessing her! Nine terrifying soul rings rose from beneath her feet.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red!
That last crimson spirit ring, symbolizing the 100,000-year level, emitted a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Spear of Death!"
Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, a huge spiral spear, entirely black and gray, instantly materialized in front of Bibi Dong.
The spear, accompanied by a piercing whistle, fearlessly met the crimson ribbon descending from the sky!
Boom——!
Two earth-shattering forces collided violently! The crimson ribbon shattered instantly, transforming into a raging torrent of soul power that scattered in all directions.
The terrifying fluctuations of soul power that spread out struck the hearts of everyone in the square like a heavy hammer.
In an instant, the entire audience held their breath!
On the viewing platform, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo quickly exchanged a glance, their expressions instantly becoming extremely solemn.
Sword Douluo subconsciously took a step closer to Ning Fengzhi, his deep voice reaching the latter's ears through soul power transmission.
"At least level 97!"
With his own cultivation level of 96, Chen Xin keenly sensed that Bibi Dong's soul power was significantly stronger than his own.
What puzzled him was that Bibi Dong's cultivation level didn't seem to be as it appeared before him; she seemed to still have some strength left, but in a daze, it seemed like an illusion.
On the other side, Mu Ci looked up at the sky raging with blood-red lightning, a "just as I thought" expression on her face.
Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Hu Liena, and others quickly gathered around Mu Ci.
Seeing the expression on his face, everyone immediately understood that Mu Ci must have guessed who the newcomer was.
"Aci, do you know who's coming?" Dugu Yan couldn't contain her curiosity and asked first.
Mu Ci withdrew her gaze, glanced at everyone, and without keeping them in suspense, calmly revealed the answer.
"One of the peerless Douluo from decades ago, known as the 'invincible on the ground'."
"Haotian Douluo, Tang Chen!"
However, a deeper doubt was churning in Mu Ci's heart.
How exactly did Tang Chen manage to break free from the control of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King?
And why was he able to appear precisely in Wuhun City at such a crucial and coincidental moment?
Could it be that the God of Asura intervened again?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but now was not the time to delve into them.
Upon hearing the name Tang Chen, Dugu Yan and Hu Liena were somewhat bewildered, as the name seemed too distant to them.
But Dugu Bo, standing to the side, gasped in shock and cried out in alarm.
"It was him!!"
Mu Ci nodded gently, temporarily suppressing the questions in her heart.
Now that things have come to this point, the plot has completely changed, and dwelling on the details is pointless and only a waste of brainpower.
He then looked at Dugu Bo beside him and gave him a deep, earnest instruction.
"Grandpa Dugu, if a fight really breaks out, your task is to protect Yanyan and the others."
Dugu Bo immediately and solemnly agreed, "Don't worry."
However, his face still showed worry as he glanced across the square. "Now that Tang Chen has shown up, I wonder if the people from the Haotian Sect will come."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ci smiled calmly, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the few figures in the crowd who were overjoyed at Tang Chen's appearance.
"It doesn't matter, I will take action!"
