The power is on par with a strong attack system. Qin Xuan stared intently ahead as Bibi Dong, with her eight spider legs moving rhythmically, slowly turned around and walked out, no longer hiding her form.
The two paused briefly.
From the beginning of the battle until now, both Bibi Dong and Qin Xuan had been testing each other.
And now.
Most of the testing had been done.
"Qin Xuan, you have indeed greatly exceeded my expectations. To perfectly withstand my recent round of attacks and remain unafraid of my poison gas, I must say, you have already earned the right to fight me on equal footing."
At a distance of twenty steps, Bibi Dong stopped. Her exquisitely beautiful face, enhanced by her martial soul, radiated an unabashed approval.
Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Likewise, Your Highness. Your strength has also greatly surpassed my expectations. Although you are a control-type soul master, you simultaneously possess agility and strong attack abilities. Few can achieve this even on the entire Douluo Continent. The Death Spider Emperor truly is formidable."
He wasn't flattering or trying to curry favor.
It was a firsthand experience after battling Bibi Dong. Although the original story had Bibi Dong, at level ninety-nine, being defeated by Tang San at level ninety-three, that was under the influence of the Rakshasa God test, limiting her to use only level ninety-eight soul power, and Tang San had the Sea God Poseidon, an unfair advantage.
The real combat power of Bibi Dong was absolutely terrifying. She had the ability to fight beyond her level.
Not to mention dealing with a Soul Emperor; even against a Soul Douluo, she could probably defeat them.
Of course, this was assuming Qin Xuan was an ordinary Soul Emperor.
"Then be careful." Bibi Dong initiated the attack, her third soul ring glowing. Deep purple spider webs sprayed out, enveloping Qin Xuan with a haze of purple poison gas.
The webs quickly expanded and were in front of Qin Xuan in the blink of an eye.
"So fast." Qin Xuan knew this was Bibi Dong's third soul skill, Death Spider Web, which was not only highly toxic but also extremely binding. It could be continuously released and, at the Title Douluo level, could easily bind even large soul beasts like the Sky Blue Bull Python or Titan Giant Ape.
He infused his soul power into the Changming Sword, the golden-red flames rising. Qin Xuan didn't give Bibi Dong a chance to entangle him. He swung his sword, splitting the spider web in two, and then ignited a roaring flame that quickly burned it to nothing.
"Has his Suzaku flame become this strong?"
Seeing Qin Xuan easily destroy her third soul skill without using a soul skill, Bibi Dong was a bit surprised. Her eight spider legs moved rapidly again, and several spider webs were sprayed from different tricky angles.
Qin Xuan's third soul ring lit up, and the golden-red fire on his Changming Sword quickly covered his entire body.
With a resounding phoenix cry, two fiery red wings unfurled from his back.
Qin Xuan's only support-type soul skill, the third soul skill, Suzaku Possession, was activated.
At this moment, the Changming Sword in Qin Xuan's hand seemed to come alive. Accompanied by several golden-red sword lights, all the spider webs were instantly shattered.
Seeing this, Qianxunji, standing in front of the Angel Statue, instantly brightened up, "Has Xuan'er overcome that flaw?"
As Qin Xuan's teacher, Qianxunji knew Qin Xuan's soul skills inside and out. He understood that Qin Xuan's third soul skill not only instantly enhanced the Suzaku flames by fifty percent but also allowed the Suzaku sealed in the sword martial soul to attach to him as a beast martial soul for a short time, achieving the coexistence of beast and weapon martial souls.
However, using Suzaku Possession would cause him to lose his rationality, becoming a beast that only knew killing until his soul power was exhausted.
Killing a thousand enemies and injuring oneself by eight hundred, it was akin to a chicken rib.
But now, things were different. Since refining the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fire Snake, the Suzaku seal was lifted, the resentment disappeared, and the side effects naturally vanished.
With Suzaku Possession, Qin Xuan's power, speed, defense, and flames were all significantly enhanced.
With lightness in his steps, Qin Xuan arrived beside Bibi Dong in the blink of an eye.
This time, it was Bibi Dong's turn to be shocked. In terms of speed, she, a Soul Sage, found someone who could match her speed, and he was a Soul Emperor.
"You can't escape. Fourth soul skill, Thorn Spider Armor." Bibi Dong, being a true genius, wasn't caught off guard by Qin Xuan's speed.
Her fourth soul ring lit up, and purple-black poisonous thorns, each over a meter long, instantly covered every part of her body. The purple armor on her also became exceptionally thick.
Buzz! Clang!
The sharp sword hum and the grating sound of metal rubbing against metal followed. Sparks flew, and Qin Xuan's Changming Sword was blocked by Bibi Dong's Thorn Spider Armor.
But the Suzaku flames on Qin Xuan were making things very uncomfortable for Bibi Dong. The black poisonous thorns that covered her body adjusted direction, pinning the Changming Sword while the other four thorns, avoiding vital points, aimed at Qin Xuan's shoulder and forearm.
As long as Qin Xuan was pierced, even if just scratched, this battle would be over.
With the Death Spider Emperor poison, Qin Xuan could no longer be her opponent.
Qin Xuan's face grew stern. His second soul ring lit up, and the invisible sword aura quickly covered his entire body, then erupted, creating a strong repelling force. The ground beneath them instantly cracked and collapsed.
The sand and stones flew, quickly spreading from the center of the two, forming a small wind tornado.
But Bibi Dong remained unmoved. The four black poisonous thorns seemed to be facing extremely strong resistance, their speed drastically reduced, but they still inched closer to Qin Xuan's forearm and shoulder.
Bibi Dong said seriously, "It's useless, Qin Xuan. Although your third soul skill surprised me, I know all five of your previous soul skills well. I won't give you a chance to use any other soul skills."
Qin Xuan's second soul skill, Changming Sword Song, allowed the sword aura to repel all enemies around him. It could also be used defensively to form a shield for ten seconds, making it an extremely powerful defensive soul skill and Qin Xuan's only one.
But correspondingly, there were significant limitations. Once the sword aura was unleashed, the shield could not be used. And if the body was bound, the target binding the self could not be repelled.
In Bibi Dong's mind, once Qin Xuan chose to fight her in close combat, he had already lost.
As for Qin Xuan abandoning his sword, Bibi Dong had considered it, but as a weapon soul master, losing his martial soul would make him even less likely to be her opponent.
"I never said I would use other soul ring skills." Qin Xuan smiled, his sword momentum suddenly changing. The sword was held horizontally, and he gripped the Changming Sword with his other hand.
The sword aura erupted from the Changming Sword Song suddenly gathered together, and Qin Xuan used it to perform a sweeping attack.
Crack
In the next second, an astonishing scene occurred that shocked Bibi Dong and everyone present except the six high priests. The poisonous spider thorns on Bibi Dong's Thorn Spider Armor were severed by Qin Xuan without using any soul ring skills.
