Shame...
Although Xiong Jun was large and powerfully built, he possessed a sensitive heart and things he cared about. The most important among them was nothing other than:
The dignity of a king!
Among the many Star Dou Great Beasts, Xiong Jun wasn't the oldest, but he was certainly the most defiant.
Why was it only him who could get into a fight with Di Tian?
Did Xiong Jun truly believe he could defeat Di Tian?
Xiong Jun knew he was no match for Di Tian, but he refused to endure Di Tian's condescending attitude and become his subordinate, thus stubbornly attacking!
To put it bluntly, he was too proud!
But at this moment, Xiong Jun felt he had lost all face.
He didn't feel ashamed of nearly dying under Di Tian's Dragon God Claw; other fierce beasts even held him in awe. But to bleed under the sword of a weak human? If Di Tian brought it up later, would he still have the right to challenge him?
Therefore, Xiong Jun overheated.
Overheating didn't make a beast stronger; it only made them lose their reason, their attacks becoming increasingly emotional and disorganized, even resorting to desperate, mutually destructive fighting.
This could be useful in some situations.
When paths cross, the brave prevail.
But Xiong Jun was facing the Seven Kill Sword, renowned for its killing intent, and Gu Rong, unparalleled in defense, along with two top-tier support Soul Masters. They didn't even need Lin Xiao to remind them.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, long-time partners, continuously set traps for Xiong Jun, wearing him down. Sometimes they intentionally let Xiong Jun injure them, giving him a taste of success, only for Ye Qingxian to heal the wounds instantly. Yet, they would still force themselves to spit out blood, feigning weakness, essentially luring him into a fight.
Xiong Jun didn't notice any of it...
...
On the other side of the battlefield.
"Damn it!"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but curse inwardly.
She didn't know if this Three-Headed Crimson Demonic Mastiff was sick, but it seemed as if she had offended it somehow, relentlessly pursuing and biting at her!
What a mad dog!
Crimson King possessed the powerful physique of a fierce beast, along with potent fire and dark attributes. This meant Bibi Dong's attacks not only failed to restrain it but were actually countered.
Poisoning? It couldn't be poisoned.
Dark erosion? It couldn't be eroded.
As a result, Bibi Dong was passively taking hits from start to finish.
Most infuriatingly, Crimson King summoned a pack of Three-Headed Hellhounds, seemingly toying with Bibi Dong, leading them in a chase and encirclement.
It was fortunate that Bibi Dong had a full set of counter-armor.
And possessed the Undying Body.
Any other Soul Master would have been history by now.
But even so, Bibi Dong felt utterly humiliated. She felt that even without activating her Martial Soul True Body, she was about to completely disgrace the Pope's reputation.
Finally, Bibi Dong could stand it no longer.
Her clothes were disheveled, her expression incredibly grim. She coldly sneered at Crimson King:
"Stupid dog, if you have the guts, follow me!"
"This place isn't suitable for it!"
Crimson King heard this and its ferocious pupils fixed on Bibi Dong, its gaze icy.
"You useless human, you have so many good Soul Skills, but unfortunately, you followed the wrong master."
"If you want to die, I'll grant it!"
Bibi Dong would never have imagined that Crimson King harbored such intense malice towards her simply because it felt she was too pretentious.
Damn it, she was being beaten like a dog.
And still not activating her Martial Soul True Body.
What was she trying to prove?
Crimson King felt severely underestimated!
Naturally, it intended to teach Bibi Dong a lesson.
Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh and her figure flickered, drawing Crimson King away.
They left the main battlefield and arrived in the mountains far away.
Bibi Dong, filled with rage, activated her Martial Soul True Body, instantly transforming into a grotesquely twisted giant spider. Her aura also underwent a drastic change. From the elegant, dignified, noble, and graceful demeanor she displayed when role-playing in her Pope Robe, it became filled with darkness and evil.
But Crimson King's excitement grew.
It wants the big spider!
Going all out is the most basic form of respect for an opponent!
...
Chen Xin and Gu Rong were already handling Xiong Jun with ease.
Unfortunately, Xiong Jun's stats were too high. Even with full control, they were just scratching the surface, and its health dropped very slowly.
Lin Xiao continuously observed the entire situation.
In this Beast Tide, the outcome of the top-tier battle determined everything.
Xiong Jun was temporarily stable.
Bibi Dong and Crimson King seemed to have gone off to fight. Lin Xiao guessed that Bibi Dong was probably going to a secluded place to unleash her Martial Soul True Body.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but be a little curious.
Just how ugly was Bibi Dong's Martial Soul True Body?
So ugly that it made her self-conscious and resistant...
Perhaps an Immortal Herb could optimize her Martial Soul.
But given Lin Xiao's relationship with her, Bibi Dong was destined to have no chance.
It's okay.
Actually, this was quite good. Many people liked the contrast, didn't they?
Bibi Dong's contrast was quite significant~
Bibi Dong and Crimson King ran quite far, already out of Lin Xiao's Spiritual Detection and Pupil Technique Domain's sight. Lin Xiao stopped worrying about it.
He wouldn't go up to check. What if Bibi Dong got angry and decided to silence him?
He couldn't exactly force himself to praise the big spider, saying it was truly beautiful!
"Eh? Chrysanthemum Douluo's situation doesn't look good!"
...
Not only was it not good, but the four Titled Douluo were about to be beaten to a pulp!
Zi Ji, as a Pureblood True Dragon, possessed a bloodline concentration even higher than Di Tian's. Currently, she was a favored young genius of the Dragon Clan by Di Tian.
The Abyssal Demon Dragon controlled water and devouring attributes.
Her Soul Skills were also incredibly sinister.
She was at least equivalent to a Rank 97 Titled Douluo, possessing the super strong Dragon Clan physique.
Dragons, in general, dominated land, sea, and air.
They had high magic and physical resistance, high agility, high attack, and high defense.
They were almost impossible to find weaknesses in.
Two melee fighters, the Rank 92 Kite Douluo and the Rank 94 Ghost Leopard Douluo, who attempted close-quarters combat, were almost blown up by Zi Ji!
—Literally blown up.
As a result, the two could only harass from the side, seizing opportunities, and dared not engage in the frontal battlefield.
Chrysanthemum Douluo possessed long-range attack capabilities, and Gui Mei was also a swift attack Soul Master. Both were high attack, low defense types. Their attacks had little impact on Zi Ji.
A slight graze from Zi Ji's Soul Skill would cause them significant injury.
Zi Ji, however, maintained a lazy posture, her gaze filled with the playful mockery of a cat toying with a mouse. While she played with them, the four Titled Douluo had already sustained injuries.
Fortunately, they cooperated and supported each other, proceeding cautiously.
That's why they hadn't capsized yet.
But it was probably only a matter of time...
"Lin Xiao! You go!"
Suddenly, Feng Yu's voice echoed in his mind.
Her voice was gritted, clearly quite angry.
Feng Yu said indignantly, "What is this female dragon putting on airs for?"
"Lin Xiao, go beat her until she calls you daddy!"
Lin Xiao: "..."
Vulgar.
Feng Yu was usually elegant and refined, but when it came to matters involving the Dragon Clan, she tended to get emotional. It was truly deep-seated hatred.
Lin Xiao sighed and said, "I'm just a mere Soul Saint, and you want me to fight a fierce beast?"
"I can't beat him~"
Despite saying this, Lin Xiao still informed Sword Douluo, left Xiong Jun's side, and then his Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings tore through space, directly confronting Zi Ji.
Can't beat him?
If Feng Yu was angry, then he couldn't not beat him!
