Chapter 441: Fishing Tactics
Thousand Jun Douluo, who was gradually being forced into a disadvantage, was finding it increasingly difficult to stop Dugu Bo's movements. A light green mist slowly emanated from Dugu Bo's body, now enveloping a hundred meter radius, and the area it covered continued to expand.
On the battlefield below, almost no one could resist Dugu Bo's poison. The poisonous mist he released meant instant death to anyone who touched it.
Only because Thousand Jun Douluo's former realm was profound could he withstand the corrosion of the poisonous mist and continue fighting Dugu Bo. However, at best, he could only restrain Dugu Bo slightly and delay the mist's spread. He did not have the ability to stop it completely.
With the aerial forces overwhelmed and Dugu Bo's poisonous mist spreading, the situation was gradually becoming unfavorable for the Spirit Empire.
After Bibi Dong used the two giant black scythes formed from the Death Spider Emperor's left and right arm bones to sweep away the Dragon Slaying Saber that was slashing toward her, she noticed the collapsing army below and could not help frowning.
"Bibi Dong, you are going to lose!"
Yu Yuanzhen also sensed the situation below and spoke, "Your strength is indeed astonishing. If you were only dealing with the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire individually, we truly would not be your match. But you are ambitious. You openly established a nation and provoked both sides at once. With your strength divided, you are destined to fail."
"On the Douluo Continent, the strong are respected. As long as one is powerful enough, they can do whatever they want!"
Bibi Dong was completely unmoved by Yu Yuanzhen's words. She gave a cold smile and said, "Yu Yuanzhen, you don't actually think you've won, do you?"
"I originally didn't want to use this against you, but now I can't afford to worry about that."
"Don't think only your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a Divine Artifact!"
As her words fell, Bibi Dong's arms, which had transformed into black scythes, reverted to hands. Following an eerie flash of purple light, a huge purple black scythe appeared in her grasp. Countless demonic patterns coiled across the purple scythe, emitting an endlessly evil aura.
After summoning this scythe, Bibi Dong's own aura increased significantly, but a trace of pain involuntarily appeared on her face.
"A Divine Artifact?!"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words and seeing the huge purple black scythe, Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately changed. However, he quickly steadied himself and said, "Although it is a Divine Artifact, it doesn't seem to harmonize well with you."
"Doesn't harmonize?"
Suppressing the pain on her face, Bibi Dong sneered, "You'll know once you try it!"
As the successor of the Rakshasa God, Bibi Dong had already passed the seventh trial and obtained her Divine Artifact, the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe.
Logically speaking, with such a Divine Artifact, Bibi Dong should have used it long ago, but she had not. She had preferred to maintain a stalemate with Yu Yuanzhen for half a day rather than use the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe.
The reason was that the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe was filled with an evil aura. Once used, it would stir up Bibi Dong's painful memories from the past, so she truly did not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
But now, she had no choice.
If she did not quickly defeat Yu Yuanzhen, the army below would collapse, and Bibi Dong naturally could not sit idly by and watch that happen.
The Rakshasa Demonic Scythe swung, and purple light immediately swept down, transforming into a huge scythe shaped blade of light a hundred meters long. It seemed capable of cleaving through everything as it struck toward Yu Yuanzhen.
Facing this terrifying strike, Yu Yuanzhen did not dare to be careless. With a solemn expression, he brought down the Dragon Slaying Saber, and a huge saber glow shot out, colliding with the incoming scythe blade.
The clash between the scythe blade and the saber glow immediately put Yu Yuanzhen at a disadvantage. After the collision, the remaining scythe light sliced two wounds into his arms as he held the Dragon Slaying Saber.
Although both were Divine Artifacts, for some unknown reason, the Dragon Slaying Saber could only unleash a fraction of its power no matter how it was activated. Naturally, it could not compare to the fully powered Rakshasa Demonic Scythe.
Furthermore, Yu Yuanzhen's current cultivation was still slightly inferior to Bibi Dong's, so falling into a disadvantage was inevitable.
"Grandpa!"
Yu Tianlin had sensed the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe the moment it appeared and had been paying attention to that battlefield. Seeing his grandfather injured, he could not help crying out in alarm, seemingly wanting to disregard everything and withdraw to support him.
"Young man, you've exposed a flaw."
In that instant, the aged voice of the Spirit Empire's Fifth Consecrated Elder sounded from behind Yu Tianlin. An extremely dangerous sensation descended, making the hairs on Yu Tianlin's back stand on end.
However, Yu Tianlin was not surprised by this. Instead, a meaningful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"No. The one who exposed a flaw is you."
As he said this, Yu Tianlin did not even turn his head. He accurately grabbed the wrist of the Fifth Consecrated Elder behind him with a backhand motion.
Under the Fifth Consecrated Elder's astonished gaze, a deep blue light erupted and spread, freezing his entire arm with unstoppable momentum. Then, Yu Tianlin's dragon claw exerted a slight force, crushing the frozen arm into ice powder that scattered into the air.
During this process, the Fifth Consecrated Elder of the Spirit Empire did not even feel pain, nor did any blood flow out.
He had simply lost an arm.
Yu Tianlin had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Although Yu Yuanzhen had been injured in the clash with Bibi Dong just now, Yu Tianlin knew very clearly that with his grandfather's strength, even if he could not win, he would at most fall into a disadvantage. He would not be in any real danger.
Therefore, Yu Tianlin's previous anxious posture of wanting to support him had merely been an act, intended to lure the three Consecrated Elders fighting him.
Originally, Yu Tianlin thought the success rate of this bait was quite low. Who would have expected that the Fifth Consecrated Elder would actually take it?
Actually, it was quite normal for the Fifth Consecrated Elder to take the bait.
The Fifth Consecrated Elder had been a powerhouse for too long. When fighting others, he generally crushed them or defeated his opponents head-on. It had been a long time since he had been forced to rely only on maneuvering and restraint like he was now.
Thus, after half a day, not only was Yu Tianlin feeling frustrated, but the Fifth Consecrated Elder was also feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Under these circumstances, when Yu Tianlin, his opponent, suddenly exposed a flaw, the Fifth Consecrated Elder immediately launched a sneak attack from behind without thinking too much.
However, this move was actually just Yu Tianlin's fishing tactic, and the price the Fifth Consecrated Elder paid for taking the bait was the loss of one arm.
Losing an arm still had a significant impact on strength. Now that the Fifth Consecrated Elder had lost an arm, the effectiveness of their three person joint attack dropped sharply.
As long as Yu Tianlin relentlessly pursued the weakened Fifth Consecrated Elder, breaking their combined attack was only a matter of time.
The three Consecrated Elders clearly realized this, and their expressions turned grim.
But Yu Tianlin did not give them time to speak.
Yu Tianlin now only wanted to quickly deal with these three people, then go support his grandfather. While he was at it, he also wanted to meet Bibi Dong properly and see what kind of quality this successor of the Rakshasa God possessed.
