Chapter 249: The Furious Tang Hao
Poison and death aura filled the sky, turning it a deep purple.
Amid the purple haze loomed a gigantic humanoid poisonous spider.
Its upper body was that of Bibi Dong, clad in purple-black armor that covered even her face, leaving only six gleaming small eyes visible.
Beneath her normal eyes were the spider eyes from her true martial spirit form.
Her upper body had transformed greatly, but her lower half was even more beast-like.
Below her abdomen was a rounded sphere connected to eight thick spider legs, dripping with disgusting slime emitting fierce corrosive power.
This terrifying true martial spirit form showed Bibi Dong was unleashing her greatest strength.
Nine soul rings glowed brightly around her, especially the red ninth ring, which if not obscured by the violet domain, would shock Tang Xiao and Tang Hao greatly.
The third and sixth soul rings first radiated, sending out massive spider webs.
As a spider spirit master, her strongest skill was naturally the webs.
Bibi Dong's third soul skill, Death Web Bind, swept horseshoe-like with increasing strength as her power grew.
Her webs not only bound enemies tightly but also carried poisonous spikes that wore down foes upon contact.
The webs fell from the sky with overwhelming force, seemingly about to trap Tang Hao and Tang Xiao instantly.
Following the webs, two huge spider spikes appeared, much larger than normal weapon martial spirits, resembling spider legs, thrusting straight at them.
Bibi Dong simultaneously unleashed her sixth soul skill, Death Spider Spike.
With death energy as the attack source, the spikes condensed from the soul bones and launched at her opponents.
From the start of the battle, Bibi Dong used her domain and soul skills, showcasing staggering power.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao cooperated seamlessly, almost simultaneously using their Haotian Hammers.
Their combat style was identical.
The Haotian Hammers emitted harsh black light with destructive power capable of devastating the world.
Their spirit skills were simple, direct, and brutal.
Using raw force to shatter all defenses.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao slammed heavily on the ground before soaring upward.
Their hammers whirled rapidly, growing in size in the sky.
In an instant, sparks flew from the intense friction with the air.
The Haotian Hammers struck the webs.
Against a tough spider web, a regular heavy weapon would feel like striking empty air.
But the Haotian Sect had developed many special techniques for the Haotian Hammer.
When facing webs, they treated them like soft weapons, with the "Perforation" skill from the Haotian Nine Absolutes being the most useful.
It pierced point by point, allowing a powerful enough strike to destroy the entire web.
However, they soon discovered the spider web's resilience far surpassed expectation.
When the web broke apart, countless poisonous toxins erupted.
They were forced to maintain a high level of spirit power to resist the deadly poison.
After the webs came the spider spikes.
Hammer shadows clashed, thunderous impacts reverberating in the sky.
Both sides attacked relentlessly with rapid speed, yet neither gained a clear advantage.
Both warriors were powerful, supported by domains and sufficient spirit power, rendering defeat impossible with a single strike.
The ferocity of the battle grew.
Soon Bibi Dong aimed to strike first with a secret weapon.
Her upper arms, covered in armor, turned into ethereal shadows.
In a flash, those shadows transformed into two giant scythe blades.
The scythes silently detached from Bibi Dong, slicing toward Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
Though quiet, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao responded with full alert, sensing a deadly threat.
The two blades cut through space, closing the distance instantly.
Unbeknownst to them, these scythes combined four of Bibi Dong's skills—two soul bones from her left and right arms.
Both soul bones originated from the same soul beast, the Death Spider Queen.
It was rare luck that Bibi Dong possessed two soul bones from the same beast.
The skills were identical and very powerful: the Giant Scythe Assault and the Giant Scythe Explosion.
The Giant Scythe Assault was a full-power strike from both scythe arms, while the Giant Scythe Explosion was a self-detonation of the soul bone energy, attacking wildly.
The explosion was the deadliest attack.
Bibi Dong smiled freely—these soul bone skills were far beyond what Tang Hao and Tang Xiao could withstand.
Even blocking the full-force strike would leave them vulnerable to the violent explosion afterward.
It was the first time Bibi Dong used this skill against enemies.
"Die!" she cried.
The augmented light of the Death Domain shone intensely, maximizing the power of the Giant Scythes.
Boom!
The terrifying collision of Haotian Hammers and Giant Scythes shook the air.
Violent currents surged everywhere.
First came the destructive power of the clash, then the blast's devastating force.
A huge crater appeared at the battle's center, showing how intense their conflict was.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were injured.
Their wounds were not severe, thanks to their battle experience.
Though the Hammers appeared huge, the brothers wielded them with skill and used their size to shield themselves from the explosion's damage in crucial moments.
Still, the debris from the Giant Scythe Explosion struck both of them partially.
"Damn Bibi Dong! She's already this strong!"
Tang Xiao roared in anger.
Facing one against two, they still suffered injury.
Though minor, the insult stung deeply.
Tang Hao's eyes flashed with anger and grief.
Not because of the wounds, but due to his ill fate.
Whenever his injuries slightly healed, he was forced into another battle, worsening his condition again.
When Tang San's martial spirit awoke, Tang Hao hoped for revenge and trained hard to recover.
But then A-Yin was lost, he destroyed ten Spirit Hall cities, and fought Bibi Dong at Haotian Sect's gate—his injuries deepening.
Just as he recovered, after Tang San killed Yu Tianheng, Yu Yuan Zhen sought revenge; they fought again.
Soon after, at the Heaven Dou Grand Arena and Sunset Forest, he fought Yu Yuan Zhen twice more within two years—losing all his strength in the last battle.
Thanks to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and over a year of recovery, his body finally healed significantly.
He regained confidence and his power continued to grow.
But now, once again outside the City of Slaughter, he encountered Bibi Dong.
Tang Hao felt cursed.
Every two years, he was forced to fight desperately, and his injuries never fully healed.
He was furious.
"If only I had some time to rest and heal my wounds first," he thought bitterly.
