Roll If You Want to Roll

"Don't!"

Qian Renxue, who had been watching the battle all along, covered her eyes in fright and let out a cry.

On the other side, by the time Guang Ling realized that arrow would hit Chen Xing, it was already too late to retract it.

Even the other Worship Hall elders held their breath at that moment.

A full-force strike from a level 96 Titled Douluo...

And a six-year-old child was supposed to withstand it?

The outcome was obvious.

Such a monstrously talented boy was bound to perish...

Sure enough, the next second!

A dull sound of the Frost Arrow piercing flesh rang out, and the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Even Qian Daoliu, who had been launching his assault, halted in his tracks.

"This..."

"Ah..."

A sigh echoed through the empty hall.

Qian Renxue's heart seemed ready to leap out of her chest, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Forcing herself to open her eyes despite her fear, the sight before her made them widen.

"Why..."

At the center of the field, the arrow that should have struck Chen Xing had instead pierced Bibi Dong through the back of her heart.

The enormous force had punched through her purple armor. Ice-attribute Soul Power froze the wound and invaded her meridians along with her blood, coating her entire body in frost.

Chen Xing stared blankly at the sight...

"Tea... Teacher..."

"You..."

Whoosh~

Bibi Dong let out a long breath, and the bloody froth from her lips splattered onto the boy's face, carrying a faint chill with it.

"I won't die!"

"I'll put you down, so don't run away, okay?"

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Chen Xing seemed to see a faint smile on the woman's face...

Along with a trace of unease...

Was she afraid I would leave?

Why?

Because I can provide her with Golden Light Orbs?

Or...

"Big Brother! What are you standing around for?"

"Move already and take Chen Xing back!"

When Guang Ling saw that Bibi Dong had actually taken his attack, his face lit up with delight.

He immediately shouted excitedly at Qian Daoliu.

Under normal circumstances, he could not defeat Bibi Dong. After all, the vast difference in their levels was right there. After level 95, every additional level was a qualitative leap.

The only reason that arrow had been able to injure Bibi Dong was because she had to protect Chen Xing and, in the urgency of the moment, had no choice but to take it head-on with her body.

Otherwise, with her battle instincts, she would have dodged the arrow long ago and suffered no injury at all.

But now that she had been seriously injured and had put Chen Xing down, this was the perfect chance to seize him.

He drew the bowstring again, and ice-attribute Soul Power condensed into another arrow.

"I'll handle the long-range attacks. Big Brother, find an opening and take Chen Xing back."

As he spoke, another Frost Feather shot forth.

Unlike Qian Daoliu's close-range Angel Holy Sword attacks, the arrows of the Guang Ling Divine Bow were incredibly fast.

With her meridians affected by ice-attribute Soul Power, Bibi Dong could not use her soul skills for the time being. Facing the arrows, she could only dodge.

But carrying Chen Xing would inevitably limit her speed.

Therefore...

To keep Chen Xing from being taken away, she could only take the attack head-on with her body again.

Qian Daoliu stood to the side, his brows twisted tightly together. How could he not know that this was the best opportunity to take Chen Xing?

Yet that sense of guilt rose within him again.

It made him remain where he was, waiting for Bibi Dong to make her choice...

If she dodged, he would seize the opportunity to take Chen Xing away.

If she did not...

Then, after Guang Ling beat Bibi Dong into a serious state, he would take Chen Xing away!

As the Frost Arrow rapidly grew larger in her vision,

Bibi Dong ultimately chose to stand in front of Chen Xing.

Her purple-gold robe was covered in ice crystals, giving off waves of cool, fragrant scent.

She gathered the last of her Soul Power around her arms and crossed them before herself.

The next second, the ice crystals exploded.

Countless shards of ice mixed with blood carrying a sickly sweet scent splattered everywhere, landing on Chen Xing's hair and face...

The second arrow, the third arrow...

As though he had seen through Qian Daoliu's inner conflict, Guang Ling curled his lips and drew his bowstring again.

The sound of ice crystals shattering echoed by Chen Xing's ears, mixed with the woman's muffled groans of pain.

Chen Xing looked stunned.

This woman...

What exactly was she doing?

Was she protecting him? Or did she simply not want him taken away...

Was it really only because of the Golden Light Orbs?

Would she die?

Time passed second by second.

The ice-attribute Soul Power finally froze all the Soul Power within Bibi Dong's meridians. Her arms were now mangled and bloody, making the boy's heart race with panic.

"Teacher..."

"I..."

"What? Thinking of running?"

"Or are you planning to use this chance to stab me with a sword?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong's body finally could no longer remain standing.

Her steps staggered, and she fell backward.

Seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly stretched out his arms and caught her.

Her icy body fell into his embrace. When he met the woman's gaze again, the boy's heart suddenly trembled.

"Teacher, you..."

Chen Xing finally saw Bibi Dong's expression clearly.

Affected by the freezing aura, the woman's face was deathly pale and her lips had turned purple.

The once-unrivaled look in her eyes now carried a trace of panic and unease.

He could sense that, beyond the pain in her body, Bibi Dong was definitely afraid of something else!

Was she afraid he would be taken away?

"Bibi Dong!"

"Why go this far..."

Qian Daoliu sighed from the side, a complicated expression appearing on his face. He had never expected things to turn out like this.

"Heh~"

"How sanctimonious!"

"Now... you can finally be rid of me..."

That last sentence was directed at Chen Xing.

"You must have hated me these past few days."

"Teacher..."

"Enough. At your age, don't start with that fake sentimentality."

"If you want to roll, then hurry up and roll!"

After saying that, Bibi Dong stubbornly turned her head to the side, unwilling to meet Chen Xing's eyes again.

But Chen Xing could see that her long purple eyelashes were trembling slightly...

Guang Ling laughed wildly from behind them. He had never imagined that beating Bibi Dong could feel this satisfying.

She was practically a target that would not move!

"I really don't understand you, woman. You're like a lunatic."

"But..."

"Chen Xing will definitely be taught better in our Worship Hall than by you!"

Faced with Guang Ling's mockery, Bibi Dong gave a derisive laugh.

"Heh~"

"He'll be dead sooner or later. So what if I let you raise him for a while first?"

"Impudent!"

"Even at a time like this, you still won't give up!"

As he spoke, he actually nocked another Ice Arrow.

Chen Xing's heart began to pound violently at the sight!

A powerful sense of unease surged through him.

This arrow was definitely not that simple.

Having lost all her Soul Power, even a level 99 Peerless Douluo could not withstand this blow with physical strength alone.

Was Guang Ling going to kill Bibi Dong?

He looked at Qian Daoliu and saw that the man still made no indication of stopping him, allowing Guang Ling to condense the arrow. Chen Xing's heart immediately sank.

No wonder he had brought so many people today. No wonder he had attacked Bibi Dong. This old man really intended to kill her...

But she was Qian Renxue's biological mother!

No!

At present, only the people of the Worship Hall knew about this!

So that was it!
