"What are you doing?" Bibi Dong questioned Ja Sun's clone, already realizing the strange situation of shared senses between Ja Sun and this particular clone.

"Thinking of an effective insult," Ja Sun whispered. Both he and his clone had the same ponderous expression but he didn't know how to begin? From parents? Beasttakens have a rather distant relationship with their parents. The father is probably dead due to a minor conflict and the mother is also eaten after she gives birth to a beasttaken offspring.

Then siblings? What a joke.

To get an effective insult, one must grasp the opponent's weakness and mentality. Ja Sun needed to think what Ground Devil would even consider an insult.

'He got angry because I called him out as a dick sucker... but was that the reason why he got angry? I've seen dogs up and down on each other in the previous world and if Beasttakens are anything like animals in the first few years of their lives then... gender should mean nothing to them.

Then... honor? I insulted Ground Devil's status by calling him out, could this be it?'

Ja Sun hummed thoughtfully.

"Fat fuck! Are you really a 100000-year-old beast?! Come out!"

Silence greeted Ja Sun.

"Yeah, run away! You really cannot handle a proper pounding!"

Once again, everything was calm except for Bibi Dong's thoughts. How does even Ja Sun think, she wondered.

"What's the similarity between a Ground Devil and an unborn child?

Both take their time before coming out!"

Ja Sun was quite proud of this one. On point, demeaning, and true to the situation. If spoken in a tavern, he might have even chuckled along with it but right now, Ja Sun's expression darkened as he found no response. Not even applause. Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but admire Ground Devil. Just a little.

Dai Taiyin and others Ja Sun had met before were easy to provoke so he could always bring his A-game and rip them apart with his tongue. But Ground Devil not only revealed an absolute difference in strength, but he also revealed his mental fortitude, cunning, and experience in battle. Even if a Beartaken, Ground Devil wasn't too different from an actual human. But right now, disregarding everything else, Ground Devil only clung to his advantage.

Ja Sun cannot enter the Domain. He was not afraid of losing his life. If he was, this battle wouldn't be taking place. But entering an opponent's domain when he cannot even create a mission out of it as a daredevil quest was seriously a manic act.

"Let's go," Ja Sun whispered. Drawing out would only mean facing a rejuvenated Ground Devil. At least, right now, their group can retreat safely.

Ja Sun entered the curtain of clouds and found Bibi Dong gazing at him inquisitively.

"I need to ask you something. If you want to draw Ground Devil out, I may be able to help you but honesty is required."

Ja Sun sighed softly, "It would be a lie if I didn't see this day coming," he whispered, and seeing his kind eyes from the two holes of his mask, Bibi Dong couldn't help but fall in a sudden stupor. Her lips quivered for a moment as he continued, "The truth is... as you may have expected. I sometimes do take out your and Ah Yin's delicates just to try them on and see how they fit. Please excuse my curiosity. I do however love the fabric"

He hurriedly sidestepped as Bibi Dong pursued with a slap and she huffed and hissed with killing intent in her eyes, "You What?!"

"It was a joke," Ja Sun heaved a sigh of relief. The last embers of doubt that he had somehow lost his sense of pushing buttons were doused. It wasn't that he, Ja Sun, has lost his way with words, but the opponent is equally fierce and enduring.

"If you..." Bibi Dong's chest heaved and she felt absolutely stunned. Her previous tension regarding her question melted and she grew quiet.

"So? What did you want to ask me?" Ja Sun inquired.

"I wanted to ask if I can trust you," Bibi Dong closed her eyes as she descended from the clouds with only her voice remaining, "You can mock me about asking stupid questions later on. Just don't reveal what I'm about to do to anyone else."

Ja Sun smiled and looked with interest.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong silently looked at the large domain and a hint of mockery entered her gaze. Her originally soft pink eyes turned into a darker purplish shade before darkening further and turning ink-like. A sense of creeping demise roiled around her, the kind which made Ja Sun amazed at the sight and sensation of it because, for the second time ever, he realized a feeling of connection that he felt from his Three-eyed Silver Lion to Tang Yuehua's Clear Sky Swallow. But this time, this sensation emerged from the back of his right palm.

His Evil Title pulsated as if alive for the second time since Ja Sun awakened this martial soul but no Evil Tiger was summoned. It was extremely thin, but this sensation was connected to Bibi Dong. Ja Sun frowned at this.

More often than not, such a sensation works both ways. Tang Yuehua may not have realized why Ja Sun was interested in her because of her low spirituality, but Bibi Dong is different. She instantly felt the strange connection and her eyelids jumped in surprise. But once again, her gaze turned incomprehensible and she remained quiet. Silently, a viridian green flow of energy, much different from Ja Sun's emerald pupils, moved around Bibi Dong and behind her sprung up a shadow of a modest-looking spider. Unlike most spiders, its body was sleek. Instead of tufts and barbs, this inky green spider seemed to be made of a plate-like structure. Each section of its limbs smooth and sharp. And its head sported glowing green pupils six of them. Its mouth having two large mandibles at its sides and if looked at carefully, there happened to be extremely thin white veins flowing around its body and condensing over on the spider's head. From these veiny patterns, extreme coldness could be felt as if an individual was thrown into the iciest depths of frozen purgatory.

Ja Sun had long speculated Bibi Dong to be a twin spirit owner like himself. But not only that, Ja Sun had observed the same white vein-like patterns on Tang Hao's clear sky hammer and this observation made him think of one thing common in both Bibi Dong and Tang Hao.

Their strangely metaphysical killing intent which acted as a domain.

If two people of different origins can get such good stuff...

Can I get it, too?

These were his first thoughts.

But what Bibi Dong made Ja Sun dreadfully aware was that her secrets seemed only a shy away from his.

Ground Devil ruthlessly stomped the ground and around the duo, large plates of earth emerged and collapsed on the two of them.

Ground Devil, who was sure of his defenses wasn't the least worried. He even took a strike to his jewels without any hitch, revealing once again that tricks fail in front of true power.

Meanwhile, Ja Sun, who never cared for pain grew even more ferocious as he pulled true wings behind him that barely cushioned the strike and his body that slammed into Ground Devil's back was curled up. His knees, elbows, and legs took the worst as Ground Devil's fur pierced into his body but the Vajra Gauntlets only let out sharp clashing noise. His left arm covered in purple light instantly activated Heaven's Descent due to the direct contact and once again, most of the effect couldn't even reach the man because of Ground Devil's preparations. Still, Ground Devil grunted in pain and Ja Sun slid down, his body twisting as his wing sharply struck Ground Devil's furry ankle in the enclosed space while Ja Sun cruelly shot his feathers into Ground Devil's ears.

One large, one small. In the enclosed space that took Ground Devil's shape into consideration, Ja Sun still found space to move but his bleeding arms and legs impeded his movement slightly.

Yet, without any care, Ground Devil stomped his foot once again as he almost knelt due to Ja Sun's strike to his ankle. This time, the earthen plates around the duo instantly let out sharp spikes that struck both of them with Ja Sun rolling himself in his wings and feathers. Most of it bloodied yet unable to pierce through Ground Devil's ears and simply stab his brains.

*Ptch*

One spike broke through his defenses, taking Ja Sun's left shoulder's usefulness as his left arm limped down. Even his right foot was pierced but that wasn't worse than his shoulder.

'It's not over yet!' Ground Devil laughed internally without turning back as thin and small spikes struck from the ground itself, puncturing Ja Sun's feet completely and he finally grunted. At this moment, even Ja Sun understood that he had been made of.

Every time Ground Devil struck, he would stomp his foot, making Ja Sun rely on this fake signal but right now, he attacked without warning.

However, in this fast pace of battle, Ja Sun didn't even need a moment to think about his next strike as he twisted his body and cruelly slammed his left arm glowing with shock force onto Ground Devil's furry ass.

'Get the spank of your life, asshole!' Ja Sun grinned as Ground Devil's body shook.

In the meantime, Ja Sun had created another wing and finally pulled himself up with a weak beat of his wings and he instantly pointed his right fist at the back of Ground Devil's head.

'Since these babies can resist your fur... try and resist this,' Three thin needles shot out from the point of his knuckles and instantly pierced Ground Devil's neck.

These were none other than the attribute his Vajra Gauntlets gained when refined by Titanium Crystal. The moment these needles pierced into Ground Devil's neck, they coiled and turned into balls that made Ground Devil finally shake in anger.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Ground Devil roared and his body glowed. Without any indication, Ja Sun hurriedly created wings and dispersed them without a thought while his forehead flashed and a purple dome was formed around him and Ground Devil.

Both of them used their Spirit Bone abilities. But while Ja Sun didn't stop creating wings and dispersing them to cover himself in a ball of feathers, Ground Devil did because he saw a figure clad in scarlet while the cold expression on this man's face instantly shook Ground Devil.

"All are illusions!" Ground Devil roared instantly and the golden light covered the earthen dome!

An explosion!

---

Bibi Dong hadn't gone far away. There were two very specific reasons for that.

First, she didn't want to. And second, she simply couldn't. Just standing still took a lot of effort and why she didn't sit down was to remain alert and attentive. At least, till she can find the outcome of the battle the moment it was hidden from her eyes as the earthen plates only trembled.

The entirety of Ja Sun's and Ground Devil's fight took without a span of a minute or two.

The next instant, a pillar of light disintegrated the earthen plates before expanding. It was entirely silent as if even the noise was consumed by its strength.

An explosion-type attack of a Titled Douluo and Bibi Dong's expression fell. The light continued to expand as the ground seemed to be dispersing like oceanic waves. But Bibi Dong could only stare at the wondrous sight with a strange sense of emptiness. The piercing golden light basked Bibi Dong, her parted and dried lips, and glazed eyes that grew watery around the corner.

Their bet failed... didn't it?

She thought.

But a moment of carelessness came with the consequence of her life being endangered as a dark golden but bleeding figure tore out from the explosive light. The area behind him grew normal and Bibi Dong looked dazed at the large crater left behind Ground Devil.

He had his large jaws opened widely and he laughed!

"If I devour you... your evil attribute will be the best tonic!" Ground Devil howled happily.

It would seem that Bibi Dong wasn't the only one careless. Even Ground Devil was careless as unknowingly, a soft silver light flickered behind him but he seemed all but unaware of it, just like Bibi Dong. It was just a few steps away, the source of light, that is.

"Mine!" Ground Devil didn't have any inhibitions. He was ordered not to touch her, but in front of supreme benefits, what's a simple order? He was one of the pillars and even if stronger, that man cannot touch him easily!

With the last bit of strength, Ground Devil's body ballooned further, almost seven meters, and the spread of his jaws as high as Bibi Dong's height.

With a cold expression, a purple spiderweb pattern appeared on her forehead and her gaze turned extremely ferocious.

"You think that will be enough?" Ground Devil spread his bulky arms and bit at Bibi Dong's body without stopping at all, fully intending to act like an unstoppable carriage to sweep Bibi Dong off at once.

Only

With a burst of silver light, Ja Sun beat his wings and shot out from behind Ground Devil, pushing Bibi Dong with...
