The High Priest was also aware of Bibi Dong's formidable presence and feared that she might harm Tang San. He wanted to intervene but was constantly blocked by Qian Daoliu.
"Qian Daoliu, Tang San is favored by the Sea God. Step aside."
"Xixi, once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. Things have gone too far—you can't go there now."
Holy angelic light and the Sea God's light exploded in the sky. On the main battlefield, Qian Daoliu's strength clearly surpassed Bo Saixi's.
Tang San also sensed boundless killing intent aimed at him. He looked over the battlefield, frowned, said something to Sea Dragon Douluo beside him, and moved toward Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi, who had been observing the battle, wore a grim expression. Of course, he realized that Tang San was shifting danger onto others. Just as he considered having Bone Douluo take him away, a sudden crisis struck.
"Hailong, Tang San, be careful!"
Bo Saixi shouted, unleashing the power of the Sea God. The Sea God's Trident whistled through the air, knocking Qian Daoliu back, and she herself rushed at high speed toward Tang San.
Qian Daoliu, momentarily stunned from being struck back, didn't pursue right away and instead watched Bo Saixi dart toward the lower battlefield.
At that moment, the Sea Dragon's full-power Demon-Slaying Domain was torn apart, and Bibi Dong's figure appeared before Tang San.
Her entire body was covered in dark green armor as she merged with the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor. The Eternal Creation technique activated, and her spider legs glowed sharply, seemingly ready to pierce straight through Tang San's head.
"Don't even think about it."
Sea Dragon Douluo stood in front of Tang San, unleashing the true body of the Sea Dragon. The surroundings seemed to transform into a water domain. Several water dragons rushed at Bibi Dong, but were torn apart by the surrounding evil aura.
He had no other choice. Tang San's life was far more important than his own. Sea Dragon Douluo burned his soul power, and a giant water dragon roared as it charged Bibi Dong.
Though the water dragon was quickly defeated, it bought a moment. Bo Saixi arrived in a wave of water, shielding Tang San behind her.
"Bo Saixi, that old man Qian Daoliu is truly despicable."
Seeing Bo Saixi appear before her while Qian Daoliu was still nowhere to be seen, Bibi Dong realized she had walked into a trap.
But there was no time to think about revenge against Qian Daoliu now. Bo Saixi launched wave after wave of furious attacks, leaving Bibi Dong with no choice but to defend herself, growing increasingly weary.
The dying Sea God's heir Tang San, and Sea Dragon Douluo's battered body on the ground—all of it stirred Bo Saixi's long-suppressed emotions.
With a wave of her hand, the Sea God's Trident returned to her. The divine golden light radiated, and the evil spirit around Bibi Dong began to melt under its brilliance.
"Haha, do you think you're the only one with a divine weapon?"
Bibi Dong's mocking voice echoed beside Bo Saixi's ears, making her face change immediately.
A large, dark purple scythe appeared in Bibi Dong's hand, exuding an aura of evil, darkness, and slaughter. Upon its appearance, it immediately suppressed the Sea God's Light.
"How's my Rakshasa Demon Scythe? Want a taste?"
Bibi Dong's Spider Emperor clone activated, splitting her body in two. The main body wielded the Rakshasa Scythe, while the clone silently appeared behind Bo Saixi.
When she merged with the Evil God Tiger's demonic birth pearl, the Rakshasa God—always hungry for chaos—had bestowed this Rakshasa Demon Scythe upon her.
Faced with the two-pronged attack, Bo Saixi's expression did not waver. She slammed the Sea God's Trident into the ground.
A tidal wave radiated from her, pushing back both Bibi Dongs without harming Tang San within its center.
"Qian Daoliu, if you keep standing around watching, I'm leaving."
"Haha, Bibi Dong, don't worry. I'm here."
Bo Saixi's face changed as Qian Daoliu joined the attack. Waves formed a protective sphere around her and Tang San, but holy angelic light bombarded them. The already-weak Tang San coughed up blood in shock.
Against the combined assault of Qian Daoliu—an unmatched Douluo—and Bibi Dong, a Level 90 Titled Douluo and Divine Examiner, even Bo Saixi could not guarantee Tang San's safety.
But she couldn't just flee with Tang San, as most of the Heaven Dou Empire's forces and Sea God Island's elites were still here. If she left, they would all die.
Seeing Bo Saixi repeatedly vomiting blood under the attacks, Qian Daoliu's heart stirred with complex emotions—but he hardened his resolve. The Angel Clan and Spirit Hall were his life's pursuit.
The Angelic Sword burst into brilliant light, and the Rakshasa Scythe tore through the void—light and darkness bombarded Bo Saixi together.
Seeing the strikes approach, Bo Saixi, still shielding Tang San, vomited blood and did her best to hold up a thin shield.
Protected behind her, Tang San clenched his teeth. A premonition welled up in his heart.
It shouldn't be like this. Who in the world had ruined his beautiful life?
Just as both attacks pierced Bo Saixi's shield, ready to annihilate Tang San behind her, a loud explosion erupted in the distance. A massive hammer glowing with blood-red light suddenly descended onto the battlefield. It crashed down, intercepting both the Angelic Sword and the Rakshasa Scythe, pushing back Qian Daoliu and the other two.
"You… Tang Chen!!!"
Qian Daoliu stared in shock at the newcomer. He never imagined that his lifelong rival—Tang Chen—would reappear at such a critical moment.
But then he noticed something wrong. Tang Chen's eyes were red, and he seemed to have lost all sanity. Even the Clear Sky Hammer seemed weaker than before.
"No… You're not Tang Chen! You're controlling his body!!!"
Qian Daoliu's voice echoed across much of the battlefield. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were nearly struck down in their shock.
Bo Saixi, gasping in front of Tang San, also heard it. She turned slowly, stunned. When she saw Tang Chen, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Brother Tang Chen… you've finally returned..."
She stared at Tang Chen in disbelief. The smile that just bloomed on her face vanished immediately.
She watched Tang Chen madly attack Qian Daoliu, frowned, and her heart shattered upon realizing the truth.
How could she not see what Qian Daoliu had? She just didn't want to believe it. Didn't dare.
Who else but the gods could torment an unmatched Douluo to this extent?
