Chapter 94: The Life-and-Death Arena!
"A mere firefly dares compete with the bright moon!"
"A God of Slaughter who has lost all reason is merely a beast bearing its fangs and claws!"
Wang Li's eyes were crimson as he stood with his hands behind his back.
Although he looked murderous, like a Killing God descending upon the world, he remained perfectly rational.
A trace of clarity flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes, but her face was filled with astonishment.
Wang Li's domain felt strangely familiar, as though she had experienced it somewhere before—yet she couldn't recall where.
"Too strong…"
Bibi Dong touched the cheek Wang Li had slapped. It was already swollen high, her teeth slightly loosened but not knocked out.
The cold pain on her face was difficult to endure, and tears welled up in her eyes…
This was simply the body's natural reaction, not something Bibi Dong could control.
"I… I'm going to kill you!!"
"If I devour you, I will definitely advance even further!"
Bibi Dong descended into madness. Her spider legs stabbed repeatedly toward Wang Li, while she unleashed a large number of soul skills in the process.
"Do you only know how to dodge?"
Wang Li continuously evaded, causing all of Bibi Dong's soul skills to miss, which made her furious.
What kind of battle was this?
Dodging one or two soul skills would be fine, but dodging every single one?
How was this supposed to continue?
"Your Holiness, the Pope, killing you would be effortless for me!"
"But if I killed you, someone would probably hate me. So I won't truly kill you; you can rest assured."
"However, the grievances between you and her over these years… I can recover some of that debt for her!"
As soon as Wang Li said this, nearly everyone present, except for a few, looked confused.
No one refuted his claim that killing Bibi Dong would be easy. Anyone with eyes could see it.
Although Wang Li was only at rank ninety-eight, the rank ninety-nine Bibi Dong was completely suppressed by him in every aspect, unable to fight back.
Killing Bibi Dong would make someone hate him?
He wanted to seek justice for someone?
The worship elders stroked their beards and sighed.
Others might not understand, but they certainly did.
Xiao Xue had found herself a good man!
In the future, she wouldn't be so lonely…
"This brat's personality, I like it!"
"I liked him the moment I saw him. Too bad he's not my grandson…"
"Sigh… Bibi Dong does deserve discipline, but she is still Xiao Xue's…"
"Mother? Does Xiao Xue acknowledge that? Do we acknowledge that?"
"That's right! If we don't acknowledge it, then she isn't Xiao Xue's mother!"
"This kid is foolish. Better short pain than long pain. If he killed Bibi Dong, Xiao Xue would only be sad for a while."
"With us persuading her, she'd recover soon enough…"
The worship elders communicated via voice transmission, their expressions animated, leaving the elders bewildered.
The Pope had just been slapped in the face, yet these old fellows were smiling and had no intention of intervening!
Should the elders step in to help the Pope?
Although the Elder Hall and the Pope's Hall were not on good terms, this was still an internal conflict within Spirit Hall.
If the Pope lost face, Spirit Hall would lose face as well!
Seeing the worship elders remain calm and unmoving, the elders followed suit.
Doing more meant more mistakes. Doing less meant fewer mistakes.
Qian Renxue trembled slightly after hearing Wang Li's words.
So Wang Li wasn't slapping Bibi Dong only because of her request?
More importantly, he was standing up for her!
This was the Douluo Continent, after all.
Love was something that could be infinitely magnified here!
Moreover, Qian Renxue was already someone deeply driven by love at this moment; she was moved beyond words.
Bibi Dong looked at Wang Li, suddenly realizing something.
So this Wang Li was that little girl's lover!
No matter what, she was still that girl's mother, Wang Li's future mother-in-law!
Yet this brat slapped her in the face?
And with such force?
For some reason, Bibi Dong felt extremely uncomfortable.
If Qian Renxue was going to do something like this, she should at least have told her!
She wasn't that damned Qian Xunji; she wouldn't have forcefully separated lovers.
With Wang Li's talent and strength, she might have caused some trouble, but the two could still end up together legitimately.
Without telling her anything, Qian Renxue had found a lover to slap her in the face…
How filial. Truly filial.
Exactly like her own younger self!
"Even if you beat me to death, I will never agree to you being together!"
Bibi Dong said through gritted teeth.
"Heh, we're true love. What kind of monster are you to oppose us?"
Wang Li said indifferently.
Bibi Dong: "…"
She suddenly understood how Qian Xunji must have felt back then…
Qian Xunji's mood was probably even worse.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was a useless man.
"Enough, I won't waste words with you!"
"If you have anything to say, say it in my Life-and-Death Arena!"
A gray light burst from Wang Li's body, enveloping both him and Bibi Dong.
In the next moment, their figures vanished from the Pope's Hall plaza.
"???"
What kind of skill was that?
How did they just disappear?
"Big Sister Xiao An, what is this Life-and-Death Arena? Do you know?"
Since Xiao An's martial soul was also the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she should know something.
"The Life-and-Death Arena is one of the innate abilities of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger martial soul."
"Inside the Life-and-Death Arena, unless the user voluntarily exits, the battle continues until one side dies. Only then can the other return to the real world."
There was one thing Xiao An didn't say: the secret of the Life-and-Death Arena.
The user remains unchanged, but the opponent regresses to childhood.
Xiao An, being a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger herself, rarely used this innate skill.
After all, her powerful enemies were soul beasts.
Reverting to childhood didn't weaken them much.
Unless she could guarantee killing the opponent, she wouldn't voluntarily exit the Life-and-Death Arena.
Inside the Life-and-Death Arena.
It was Wang Li's first time using this martial soul ability, and he was somewhat curious about the place.
Although it was his first time using it, he was certain of one thing.
It wasn't necessary for one side to die before leaving the arena.
As long as the user wanted to exit, it was possible.
Wang Li looked at Bibi Dong, who now appeared only eight or nine years old, and couldn't help laughing.
"???"
Bibi Dong suddenly noticed that Wang Li seemed much taller.
She also looked around the Life-and-Death Arena, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Wait…
As if sensing something, Bibi Dong lowered her head to look at her hands and her toes.
She used to be someone who couldn't see her toes when looking down.
Now she was completely flat, without any curves.
Her hands were much smaller, too—clearly those of a child.
"I… what happened to me?"
Bibi Dong muttered. A child's voice left her mouth and returned to her ears.
"Nothing. You just became younger."
Wang Li crossed his arms and looked down at her teasingly.
"…"
What nonsense "became younger"? She had turned into a child!
Her strength had also shrunk at the same moment.
Rank twenty-five??
Could she only use level-twenty-five soul power?
"Heh."
"Bibi Dong, the pain you inflicted on Xue'er… I'll repay it for her now!"
"Face judgment!!"
