Hu Liena looked at the group and immediately hurried over to Duanyu Fan and the others.
"Teacher, greetings, two elders! Junior Brother Xiao Fan." Hu Liena greeted them one by one, obediently.
"Your Majesty the Pope, this is?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Hu Liena and quickly asked.
"Oh! Sect Master Ning, this is my other disciple, Hu Liena, the Spirit Hall Saintess. It simply has not been made public yet. She is still too young. Nana, hurry and greet the two seniors from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo." Bibi Dong calmly introduced Hu Liena to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo. It was not worth hiding.
"Hu Liena greets Sect Master Ning and Senior Sword Douluo." Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena immediately spoke to the two of them.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I did not expect you to have another such outstanding disciple." Ning Fengzhi looked at Hu Liena, then smiled faintly at Bibi Dong as he spoke. In truth, Ning Fengzhi had long known of Hu Liena's existence.
"Haha, hardly! Nana and Xiao Fan truly do spare me a great deal of worry in everything they do. Let's go! There is still some distance to cover." Bibi Dong continued to lead the way.
"Senior Sister Nana, why did you come over so early in the morning?" Duanyu Fan and Hu Liena walked at the very back of the group, and Duanyu Fan asked quietly.
Duanyu Fan walked beside Hu Liena. Right now, Hu Liena was roughly a head taller than Duanyu Fan.
Duanyu Fan had only been on Douluo Continent for a little over a year, and sometimes he forgot that he still looked like a child.
"Didn't I hear about what happened with you and Chrysanthemum Elder's Soul Fusion? I was worried about you, so I came over early in the morning. I skipped class to come, you know! I never thought, Xiao Fan, that you could actually endure Chrysanthemum Elder's Soul Saint-level Soul Power and successfully release the Martial Soul Avatar." Hu Liena looked at Duanyu Fan, now worried, now somewhat admiring.
"Senior Sister, I'm fine now. After the Support Soul Master's treatment, I've almost fully recovered. Senior Sister, you should go back to the Academy." Duanyu Fan spoke to put Hu Liena at ease.
"As long as you're fine! After I watch you treat the villagers, I'll go back to the Academy and continue class," Hu Liena promised.
The group arrived at the West City Gate. Bibi Dong brought Ning Fengzhi and the others onto the city wall. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Hu Liena stood about two meters behind Duanyu Fan, while Ghost Douluo arranged the hundred villagers who were to be treated today in front of them.
"Has he finally come? But even if I successfully assassinate this Spirit Hall Holy Son, it will be very hard for me to escape. Fortunately, the elder still has the Evil Bat Poison."
"If I assassinate this Holy Son, the only one who can remove the Evil Bat Poison, then it won't be a loss. When the time comes, they can only watch as the Evil Bat Poison spreads across the entire continent, haha! What a pity for such a heaven-blessed genius." The lurker saw Duanyu Fan come out and kept staring at him, thinking to himself.
Under Ghost Douluo's arrangement, the lurker successfully entered the group of people Duanyu Fan was to treat today. His disguise was excellent. He looked even more like a villager than the villagers, dressed in worn-out cloth clothes and appearing seriously ill. Ghost Douluo did not notice anything unusual either.
Afterward, groups of five came to stand about one meter in front of Duanyu Fan. The lurker was not in this group of five; he was in the fifth group.
"First Soul Skill! Healing Prayer." Duanyu Fan began the same treatment as usual. The Cross released five beams of light that entered the villagers' bodies. Before long, the villagers' condition and complexions rapidly recovered. After a black-gray Plague poison emerged from their bodies, they had fully recovered. All that remained was for the villagers to recuperate on their own until they returned to normal.
"Many thanks, Holy Son!" After thanking him, the villagers were guided into the city by the soldiers.
"Your Majesty the Pope! The Holy Son's skill truly is miraculous. To be fortunate enough to witness a rare God-level Spirit with my own eyes—he must be the only one on the continent." Ning Fengzhi watched Duanyu Fan's movements below.
"Sect Master Ning praises him too highly. The continent is vast, with wide skies and broad lands. There may yet be unknown, peerless geniuses." Bibi Dong calmly accepted Ning Fengzhi's praise.
After more than twenty minutes, Duanyu Fan had cured the fourth group of villagers and welcomed the fifth group of five. The lurker stood in the middle of the five, directly facing Duanyu Fan, only one meter away.
"It's finally time. I can hardly wait. Just a little longer. It must be a one-hit kill." At this moment, the lurker still pretended to be weak, looking at Duanyu Fan with the same expectation as the villagers as he prepared to release his soul skill.
"Something is wrong! There is killing intent." Bibi Dong sensed a faint trace of killing intent.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei." Bibi Dong shouted, but it was too late. Duanyu Fan and the lurker released their soul skills at the same time.
"First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer." Duanyu Fan had also just begun releasing his soul skill.
"What a good chance! Sixth Soul Skill, Bloodthirsty Strike." Seeing this, the lurker immediately attacked.
"You wretch, how dare you!" Although Bibi Dong noticed it at once, the lurker was too close to Duanyu Fan. She still could not make it in time.
"What!" Duanyu Fan was shocked. In an instant, he felt as if his heart had been brutally blown apart. He had no time to react at all before his vision went black.
"Holy Son, damn it! Lao Gui, don't let him escape. Two Extremes Stillness Domain." Chrysanthemum Douluo was also shocked and immediately released the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ghost Douluo.
"Haha! Success." Seeing this, the lurker burst into laughter. An evil Evil Spirit Blood Bat martial soul appeared behind him, and seven Soul Rings appeared.
The sudden change happened in an instant, in less than two seconds.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Eternal Wound." Bibi Dong instantly arrived behind the Evil Soul Master from the city wall. Two Soul Devouring Spider Emperor legs pierced through the Evil Soul Master's back and out through his chest.
"Uh! This." Ning Fengzhi and Jian Dao Chenxin looked at each other. A Soul Saint had successfully assassinated the Holy Son right under the eyes of several Titled Douluo.
"Tell me! How should I kill you to dispel my rage?" At this moment, Bibi Dong's face was filled with cold fury. Her calmness was terrifying.
"Xiao Fan!" Only then did Hu Liena react. She cried out in shock and hurriedly ran to Duanyu Fan's side, squatting down and holding up the unconscious Duanyu Fan. Duanyu Fan's chest had caved in severely, and the position of his heart on his back had bulged up into a large swelling.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also came before the Evil Soul Master, their faces full of horror.
"Haha! My death is nothing to regret. Now no one can remove the Evil Bat Poison. Just wait for the Evil Bat Poison to slowly spread across the entire continent! From now on, the world belongs to us Evil Soul Masters." The Evil Soul Master laughed miserably, blood flowing nonstop from the corner of his mouth and his chest.
"Talk! Where are the remaining Evil Soul Masters hiding?" Bibi Dong immediately questioned him in an icy voice.
"Haha! Do you think I would tell you? Since I came to assassinate him, I never thought I would leave alive. Dragging a Spirit Hall Holy Son down with me was worth it." The Evil Soul Master laughed viciously.
"If you don't speak, do you think I won't find out? Soul Devouring Spider Emperor." A dark green spider appeared behind Bibi Dong. The Spider Emperor opened its huge mouth and bit down directly on the Evil Soul Master's head.
"Ah!" The Evil Soul Master screamed, then fell completely silent. His entire body withered away.
After Bibi Dong devoured the Evil Soul Master, she also absorbed his memories.
Ning Fengzhi and Jian Dao Chenxin also came to Bibi Dong's side.
"Your Majesty the Pope, I am very sorry that such a thing happened. The Holy Son seems to have no breath left." Ning Fengzhi sighed, his tone filled with regret.
"Holy Son!" The Spirit Hall soldiers and villagers all knelt toward Duanyu Fan, a wave of mourning rising around them.
Hu Liena's face was also covered in tears. After Bibi Dong calmed down, she recalled the scene of her first meeting with Duanyu Fan.
The end of the whole series? Scatter flowers...
But there was still the Seraphim's Passive skill.
