Chapter 690: The Return of the Dead: The Death Spiral Array

The Angel God and the Sea God descended simultaneously, finally bringing a glimmer of hope amidst this endless despair.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue with a ferocious expression, "Family! You say these people are your family? Heh, back then, Qian Xunji harmed me because I betrayed the Spirit Hall. Who would have thought that now, you of the Qian Family are the true traitors, actually regarding those who destroyed my Spirit Hall forces as family."

"Bibi Dong, do you understand what betrayal is? Turning away from one's own faith is betrayal; being ungrateful and forgetting one's ancestors is betrayal. But my Offering Hall—in this war, everyone fought until the very last moment. My two grandfathers, Qianjun and Jiangmo, charged to the front lines during battle until they were controlled by the Two-Level Stasis Domain. My two grandfathers, Qingluan and Guangling, were severely wounded by Xun Yu's formation just to save you. Grandfather Golden Crocodile fought until all four of his limbs were severed. My grandfather and I also fought Feihuang with all our might above Wuhun City until we were defeated and had to give up. The situation was lost; in order to complete unification as quickly as possible, restore peace to the continent, and carry out my faith in the justice of the Angel God, I surrendered. How can you call that betrayal? My Qian Family has neither failed the continent nor failed the Spirit Hall," Qian Renxue said sternly.

"Look at yourself, Bibi Dong. After the battle was lost, you were nowhere to be found. That day after the fight with Feihuang, I briefly sensed a trace of your aura. You must have been nearby, yet you did not appear to assist me and my grandfather, but instead decisively fled Wuhun City. Turning away from faith, being ungrateful, forgetting one's ancestors—which of these do you, Bibi Dong, not embody? What face do you have to call yourself Pope, let alone accuse me of betrayal?"

"Furthermore, I have now married Feihuang as his wife, with my grandfather's approval and the witness of the people. My husband's family is naturally my family. What about you? Do you dare to acknowledge our relationship? Do you dare to admit that my family is your family?"

Qian Renxue's words were incredibly sharp, pointing directly at Bibi Dong and leaving her speechless.

Originally, she did not have such eloquence; she had learned it while she was Xue Qinghe, by Feihuang's side.

"Wow, my daughter-in-law is so sharp. My son's eye for people is indeed good; she is no worse than Lingqi," Lan Xue praised. Among the three daughters-in-law, she had certainly been more partial to Xue Ke and Lv Lingqi, as they had accompanied her for so many years. Now it seemed this little angel daughter-in-law was also quite excellent.

"Good—good—Qian Renxue, I never expected you to be so glib today. No matter how flowery your words are, I will send your so-called family into the abyss, and let you taste the feeling of being alone in the world, just like me. Hahahaha—" Bibi Dong's laughter sounded even more ferocious and insane than it had in the past.

If the death of the Grandmaster was the fundamental reason for her madness, then the death of Hu Liena was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

For so many years, she had poured all her love into Hu Liena; to her, Hu Liena was like a daughter of her own.

Now that this last relative was gone, she had no more attachment to this world.

If her final words in the original story about destroying the continent might have carried a hint of venting, then the current her was truly determined to turn this Douluo Continent, this Gulei Dynasty, into a land of death.

"Hmph, a defeated foe, yet so arrogant!" Lv Lingqi said with disdain. "You Spider Expertise, if you want to hurt my family, you must get past me first."

"Lingqi?" Qian Renxue looked at Lv Lingqi, who was standing in front of her, in surprise.

She saw Lingqi turn back and say, "Your relationship with Bibi Dong is special after all. A mother and daughter fighting to the death—I don't know if she will kill you, but I know that you will always hold back a little in the end. Let me deal with her. I leave Tang San to you. I know that in terms of Godly Power, you are actually far above me now, because my husband said that after you become a god, you might reach a new realm. So, how about letting me be lazy and throwing the God King-level Asura God to you?"

"Thank you, Lingqi!" Qian Renxue smiled slightly. She naturally knew that with Lingqi's ability, it was impossible for her to be truly afraid of a so-called God King; she only took on Bibi Dong as an opponent because she did not want to see her and Bibi Dong, mother and daughter, kill each other.

"Lv Lingqi, come on then!" Bibi Dong was not afraid at all. Although she had been defeated by Lv Lingqi before, that was because she did not have a divine weapon in her hand. Now that she held the Rakshasa Demon Sickle, how could she fear her?

Not only that, she had a new trump card.

The Death Spiral Array below was not just a formation to summon the spirits of the dead; it could also condense the killing intent generated on the battlefield onto Bibi Dong, strengthening her in every aspect.

In other words, the longer the war dragged on and the more people died, the stronger she would become.

"Death Spiral Array, rise!" Following Bibi Dong's angry shout, a gigantic Rakshasa Ghost Eye appeared in the center of the Death Spiral Array.

From the center of this huge eye, countless figures flew out.

Seeing them, everyone was instantly stunned.

Because these were all the Title Douluo who had died in the continent's wars over the years.

The Spirit Hall's Holy Dragon Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Citun Douluo, Lingyuan, Saint Dragon Douluo, Sea Turtle Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo.

The Star Luo Empire's Black Crow Douluo.

Slaughter City's Bloodthirsty Douluo.

The Clear Sky Sect's Five Elders and the Xiaotian Sect's Tang Xiao.

Even the last one to appear was actually one of the two peaks of the Spirit Master world, the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen.

"No—impossible, aren't these people all dead? Why have they appeared again?" Shui Bing'er was shocked. The formidable enemies they had finally managed to defeat with such difficulty were standing before them once again.

And by the looks of it, they seemed to have become even more terrifying than before.

"This is the Death Spiral Array, capable of summoning the spirits of the dead from Hell to fight. I think if it weren't for the fact that Senior Qian Daoliu and Senior Bo Saixi performed a Sacrifice and their divine souls returned to the God Realm, they would not have escaped Bibi Dong's clutches. What a ruthless woman, toying with the souls of the dead like this." Xun Yu had always been a gentle and refined scholar, but this was the first time he had shown such disgust and contempt for someone.

Bibi Dong's bottom line had truly sunk below his own.

"I feel the one who is even more ruthless is that Tang San!" Dian Wei, however, looked at Tang San with piercing insight.

That was right; the more ruthless one was Tang San. Bibi Dong toyed with the souls of the dead, but the people she toyed with, in the end, did not have much of a relationship with her. Those she truly cared about, like Hu Liena and the Grandmaster, had not entered the Death Spiral Array.

But what about Tang San? With his current strength, could he not have stopped Bibi Dong?

Others might be one thing, but he actually allowed Bibi Dong to control his uncle and great-grandfather. Back then, Tang Chen and Tang Xiao's care and love for him were all heartfelt. This cold-blooded nature was truly chilling.

Yet Tang San did not care. In his view, these were merely small sacrifices made for the sake of justice.
