Chapter 323: Mutual Schemes

"Swoosh!"

Like a flash of lightning and a roll of thunder, the crowd only felt a blur before their eyes, and Qin Jian's figure vanished completely.

And between Qian Yu and Qian Qian, in the direction from which the martial soul arrow was fired, Qin Jian's figure appeared simultaneously.

"Good."

Bibi Dong could not help but whisper.

Even with Qian Yu's warning, in a duel between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Saint, a battle that sounds long is actually only a matter of a few breaths.

For Qin Jian to seize those few breaths of opportunity while crossing a distance of nearly a hundred meters should have been impossible.

But his peculiar Sixth Soul Skill achieved this, which even made Bibi Dong feel somewhat surprised.

However, at this moment, Qianjun Douluo and Shemao Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of smugness in the other's eyes.

"Zzzzt!"

Just as Qin Jian appeared between the twins Qian Yu and Qian Qian, the corner of Qian Qian's mouth curled, and the long bow that had been flying high in preparation for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill suddenly dropped into her hand.

A dark golden arrow appeared on the long bow...

"Bang! Bang!"

Because Qian Qian's martial soul was fired without using a soul skill, Qin Jian easily deflected it with a strand of Sword Qi.

But at this moment, a sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end came from behind him, almost stimulating him to the point of self-detonation via Sacrifice.

"Swish!"

He suddenly flapped his Sword Wings, his entire body shifting and changing positions at extreme speed, but the sharp glint behind him pursued him relentlessly like maggots on a tarsal bone.

"Presumptuous!"

The soul rings on Bibi Dong's body suddenly shone, and a majestic pressure surged out, intending to save Qin Jian.

"Pope, is it appropriate for you to interfere in a duel between them?"

Qianjun Douluo's soul rings lit up at the same time, resisting Bibi Dong's aura.

"That dark golden arrow is Elder Shemao's martial soul! You all truly have a cunning scheme!"

Bibi Dong was furious.

And Shemao Douluo's soul rings had lit up the moment Qian Qian fired the arrow, further increasing the power of the martial soul spear chasing Qin Jian.

A true, all-out strike from a Title Douluo!

"You are not here to compete for the position of Guard Captain at all; you are here to kill him!"

Bibi Dong saw it clearly; she had calculated on the hint from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but the other side had also utilized this hint to launch a lethal strike, all so that Qin Jian would have no chance to react and would be killed instantly!

"This is a Transformed Soul Beast, why not kill it?!"

Qianjun Douluo and Shemao Douluo stared fixedly at the arena, anticipating the moment Qin Jian would be killed.

Especially Shemao Douluo, who felt as if he saw the Super Soul Bone beckoning to him.

If it weren't for the fact that Qianjun Douluo's staff sneak attack was truly ineffective, he would never have given up this opportunity...

"Luckily he asked me for the Spider Emperor Poison... otherwise, to save him, I would have been discovered by him for secretly poisoning him."

Hum!

Bibi Dong's martial soul appeared faintly behind her, and a dark golden toxin simultaneously emerged from Qin Jian's chest, then rapidly enveloped his entire body.

"Zzzzt..."

The spear arrow fired by Qian Qian was directly blocked by the Spider Emperor Poison.

"This!"

Shemao Douluo's expression changed drastically, his soul power erupting as he tried to continue driving it.

"Hmph!"

But Bibi Dong merely pinched her palm from afar, and the Spider Emperor Poison instantly erupted, blasting the martial soul spear away.

And in this flash of lightning, a scene appeared that exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Swish!"

Qin Jian's figure suddenly vanished, and when he appeared again, he was suddenly behind Qian Qian, the Spider Emperor Poison surging onto his right hand as he slammed it into Qian Qian's back.

"Ho... how could it be so fast?"

Attacked by the Spider Emperor Poison, Qian Qian wore an expression of disbelief.

Qin Jian casually pulled up the Martial Soul Sword from the ground: "Because my martial soul was already stuck here when I came to stop the Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

That was why he could teleport directly to the side of his martial soul; in other words, even without Bibi Dong's protection, Qin Jian could have dodged instantly.

It was just that he wouldn't have been able to continue defending afterward, but with Bibi Dong there, it was impossible for him to fall.

"Spider Emperor Poison?! The Pope has good methods! To be able to control it to this extent!"

Qianjun Douluo was shocked and furious.

Shemao Douluo was even more furious to the point of exploding; seeing the Super Soul Bone that was about to be his fly away like this, he almost lost his mind and attacked Bibi Dong.

It was just that the scarlet Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring on Bibi Dong's body severely deterred him.

If he couldn't help but attack at this moment, then the fault would be his, and Bibi Dong would certainly not show mercy; she would absolutely take the opportunity to leave him severely wounded!

The conflict between the Pope Palace and the Elder Palace would instantly reach a boiling point, which did not serve the interests of the Spirit Hall.

Thus, he did not move.

In fact, Bibi Dong herself was somewhat surprised at this moment.

Originally, her control over the Spider Emperor Poison would not have been fast enough to block the spear, but for some reason, the Spider Emperor Poison within Qin Jian's body suddenly became restless at that instant, which was why she sensed it so quickly.

This was, of course, Qin Jian's credit.

Ever since the Immortal Herb was fused into his Soul Bone Set, Qin Jian had possessed complete control over any toxins invading his body.

At this moment, it was less that Bibi Dong was controlling the Spider Emperor Poison on him, and more that Qin Jian was letting her control it.

This is the difference between first-level authority and second-level authority...

"Stop!"

Seeing that Shemao Douluo did not impulsively make a move, Bibi Dong felt somewhat disappointed.

She let out a cold shout, and the scene instantly calmed down.

"Qian Qian violated the rules by borrowing external force; you have lost this match, do you have any objections?"

Low murmurs could be heard from time to time among the thousands of Spirit Master teams in the arena.

Clearly, they had already realized that this duel was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

That brief battle just now occurred within a mere half minute.

From the arrows fired by Qian Yu and Qian Qian, to their Martial Soul Fusion Skill being interrupted by Qin Jian, then to Qian Qian firing the strike from Shemao Douluo, followed by Qin Jian unexpectedly erupting with Spider Emperor Poison, Bibi Dong, Qianjun Douluo, and Shemao Douluo making their moves, and Qin Jian in turn poisoning Qian Qian...

The rapid sequence of events left everyone dazzled, and the vast majority of people simply could not understand what had happened.

They only knew the result, which was that Qin Jian, as a Soul Emperor, had challenged two Soul Saint Commanders and won!

"I have no objections."

Qian Yu retracted her martial soul without hesitation and stepped forward to support her poisoned sister.

"I... I have none either..."

Feeling the Spider Emperor Poison gradually spreading toward her heart, Qian Qian looked toward Qianjun Douluo with a panicked expression.

"Pope, since the duel is over, then give Qian Qian the antidote," Qianjun Douluo said, pointing downward.

A mocking arc curled at the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth: "Since she dared to violate the rules, then she must have been prepared to bear any consequences."

This was the reason why she had not poisoned Qian Qian beforehand; without a legitimate reason, such an act would only lead to being pressured by the Elder Hall.

Qianjun Douluo frowned: "Even if she made a mistake, there is no need to restrain her with Spider Emperor Poison, is there?"

"The Spider Emperor Poison is harmless and can even promote the growth of her soul power; the only restriction is that she must be loyal to me. Is such a punishment not the lightest one?"

Bibi Dong said coldly: "Could it be that as my Guard Team Commander, she lacks even the most basic loyalty?"
