Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Battle at the Demigod Level
Huff… Huff… Huff…
Bibi Dong panted heavily, her gaze fixed on Mu Chen with shock. When they started fighting, Mu Chen's strength seemed evenly matched with hers. But as the battle dragged on for nearly an hour, her spirit power was waning, while Mu Chen's level had somehow increased from rank 90 to 93.
Huff… Huff…
Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel an urge to slice open Mu Chen just to see what was inside him. For any spirit master above rank 90, advancing even a single level required years or even decades of relentless cultivation. Yet Mu Chen had risen by three levels in mere minutes while they fought.
A 13-year-old… at rank 93. Give this boy five more years, and he might become a god before reaching adulthood!
Staring at Mu Chen, Bibi Dong couldn't help but seethe with envy and disbelief. She asked coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, you've figured out a way to… increase your power by using unscrupulous methods, haven't you?"
"What?"
"You mean Mu Chen's strength increases… by using those methods?"
"Is that why his level is rising so fast?"
Bibi Dong's words, though not loud, reached everyone's ears in the quiet night. Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others were struck by sudden realization. They had long been puzzled over how Mu Chen's power surged so rapidly. Hearing Bibi Dong's words, it all clicked.
"So… that's why he's acted this way with me?" Zhu Zhuqing thought, her face flushing as she recalled various incidents.
Not only Zhu Zhuqing, but Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lengleng all showed similar expressions of realization.
"That scoundrel!" Ning Rongrong's mind raced, her heart both joyful and annoyed. Joyful because the man she liked had a way to quickly increase his power and potentially become an Ultimate Douluo. Annoyed because… she, too, had been on the receiving end of Mu Chen's antics.
And then, the realization dawned—did Bibi Dong's words mean that she had also been… targeted?
Everyone, from Ning Rongrong to Flender and Liu Erlong, looked at Mu Chen in disbelief.
"This guy really has guts, doesn't he? That's the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall," Liu Erlong muttered with a wry smile.
High above, Mu Chen offered no response, tacitly confirming Bibi Dong's accusation.
"Did you think that as the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, I would be easily defeated?" Bibi Dong's voice grew icier as she prepared to shift tactics.
If they continued as before, she'd be drained of power while Mu Chen only grew stronger. Besides, enduring his shameless tactics had taken a mental toll, forcing her to refocus.
As she finished speaking, the world around them began to change. The air filled with dark purple energy, swirling like a menacing, awakened beast. Before long, a massive, pitch-black scythe materialized in front of Bibi Dong, exuding an overwhelming aura of destruction.
A heavy hum resonated as the scythe's mere presence distorted the space around it, sending ripples through the night.
"What… is that?"
Everyone on the ground was left speechless, watching the giant scythe in the sky, clearly something otherworldly.
"The Rakshasa Demon Scythe," Mu Chen murmured.
"Yes, this is the divine weapon of the Rakshasa God—the Rakshasa Demon Scythe," Bibi Dong replied, a sense of pride in her voice.
Even the Spirit Hall's Grand Priest, the untouchable elder revered by all, did not possess a god's weapon from the divine realm. Bibi Dong's pride in wielding this weapon was well-founded.
"Still willing to continue?" Mu Chen asked.
"Enough talk. No one can insult me and live. Not you, not anyone!" Bibi Dong spat out, her face twisted with fury.
She remembered how Qian Xunji, the previous Supreme Pontiff, had forcibly taken advantage of her, using her body for his own twisted ambitions. She had waited patiently, harboring her rage until she eventually exacted her revenge by devouring him.
Now, in her eyes, Mu Chen was no different. He had dared to insult her in the same way. And today, she would not allow him to leave alive.
"Do you really think you can defeat me?" Mu Chen replied, unfazed.
"Let's find out. Tonight, one of us dies." Bibi Dong's gaze grew sharper, all pretense gone.
Whoosh!
Without another word, Bibi Dong swung the scythe forward, unleashing a massive wave of dark purple energy.
The deadly energy cleaved through the night, forming a massive purple blade of light, hundreds of meters long, ripping through the air as it descended toward Mu Chen.
Chaos Wings: Absolute Defense
In that moment, Mu Chen's Chaos Wings unfurled around him, enveloping him in a cocoon of dazzling nine-colored light, like a giant iridescent egg.
Boom!
The deafening impact sent the iridescent cocoon crashing to the ground, gouging a deep pit. The purple blade of energy left a near-endless trench in the earth before its power dissipated.
The ground trembled, and in the distance, a solitary mountain, destabilized by the shockwave, crumbled with a deafening roar.
"Hmph!" Bibi Dong wiped the sweat from her brow, satisfied. Exhausted from channeling such immense power, she glanced at the pit below. A victorious smile crept onto her face as she declared, "No one insults
me without paying the price! This is the fate of those who dare to challenge me."
