They had come today with the sole intention of taking Bibi Dong's life!

Chen Xing lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.

He discovered that she looked as if she had resigned herself to her fate; her brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes were tinged with red, and she was staring at the empty wall.

Clearly, the moment Guang Ling nocked his final arrow, Bibi Dong had also realized the purpose of these people.

"Big Brother!"

"Today, I will avenge you!"

As the words fell!

The ice arrow shot out violently, rapidly enlarging in Chen Xing's field of vision.

At the same time, a scalding hot tear slid down, forming a sharp contrast with the woman's cold skin as it slipped into the boy's palm.

Even as death approached, Bibi Dong did not utter a single word of weakness.

Perhaps she was truly afraid of losing Chen Xing, perhaps she was afraid of failing to take her revenge, or perhaps she was even afraid of dying...

But all of this seemed destined to return to zero!

Yet.

Teacher... why didn't you let me go...

Perhaps if you had just sent me away, there would have been a different ending.

Was it really just for the golden light orb?

[First Soul Skill: Snow Dance... Dazzling Sun!]

A hoarse, desperate roar exploded in the woman's ears.

The next second, countless snowflakes appeared out of thin air all around them.

Different from the way the ice arrow eroded the body, these snowflakes were more like countless spirits.

As they danced, they formed an area that blocked everyone's line of sight.

"Teacher!"

"Run quickly!"

A roar jolted Bibi Dong awake. Meeting the boy's gaze, she saw that he had already undergone a drastic transformation.

His original purple-gold hair was now coated in ice crystals, and a hint of pale blue had appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, she could clearly feel the soul power that had been frozen within her body beginning to thaw bit by bit.

"This..."

"What is happening?"

Before Bibi Dong could react, the massive ice crystal arrow instantly pierced through the boy's chest, pinning him firmly to the ground.

At the same time, a ball of golden light drifted out from the boy's palm and merged into her body.

The soul power that had been frozen instantly resumed its flow.

As the sensation of regaining control over her Martial Soul returned, Bibi Dong finally regained her ability to think.

"This..."

"Chen Xing..."

"Are you saving me?"

Even though she had been so cruel to this brat before, even though she had hated him so much...

But why was this feeling of being chosen, of being trusted, appearing in him?

Bibi Dong looked down at the boy, only to find that he had been pierced through by the entire ice crystal arrow.

Endless rage flooded her mind in an instant, and the Rakshasa Divine Power could no longer be contained, spreading out like a monstrous tidal wave.

"Guang Ling!"

"I am going to kill you!"

[Death Spider Emperor: Martial Soul Avatar]

The woman's pair of purple eyes had already been stained black; it was clear that she had completely lost her sanity at this moment.

[Eighth Soul Skill: Spider Emperor...]

"Quickly... run..."

The boy's whisper reached the woman's ears, causing her figure to tremble.

A glimmer of golden light appeared in the corner of Bibi Dong's eye as she looked down at the boy.

She saw that Chen Xing was now breathing his last.

"We can't beat them..."

"I know, I know!"

"Stop talking!"

"Teacher will take you away right now..."

Bibi Dong tried to lift Chen Xing up, only to find that the arrow had pinned him firmly to the ground.

Forcing him up would only cause his entire chest cavity to shatter.

"Hold on, I'm going to find a healing Spirit Master."

"They... want to kill you..."

"Run..."

With the final word spoken, the boy no longer had the strength to talk, and could only look at her with pleading eyes.

Pleading with her to run, quickly...

The surrounding wind and snow were about to dissipate, and Chen Xing closed his eyes.

Endless despair spread and grew wildly in the woman's heart.

Run!

I must escape!

Hot tears slid down the woman's cheeks, splashing onto Chen Xing's face.

They had come today with the sole intent of taking Bibi Dong's life!

Chen Xing lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.

He found that she seemed to have resigned herself to fate; she frowned slightly, her eyes rimmed with red, staring at the empty wall.

Clearly, the moment Guang Ling nocked his final arrow, Bibi Dong had realized these people's true objective.

"Big brother!"

"Today, I will avenge you!"

As the words fell!

The ice arrow shot out, rapidly enlarging in Chen Xing's field of vision.

At the same time, a scalding hot tear slid down, contrasting sharply with the woman's cold skin as it slipped into the boy's palm.

Even as death approached, Bibi Dong had not uttered a single word of weakness.

Perhaps she was truly afraid of losing Chen Xing, perhaps she feared failing to take revenge, or perhaps she was even afraid of dying...

But all of this seemed about to return to zero!

It's just.

Teacher... why didn't you let me go...

Perhaps if you had just sent me away, there would have been a different ending.

Was it really just for the golden light orb?

[First Spirit Skill: Snow Dance... Shining Sun!]

A hoarse, desperate roar exploded in the woman's ears.

The next second, countless ice and snow appeared out of thin air.

Different from the way the ice arrow eroded the body, these snowflakes were more like countless spirits.

As they danced, they formed an area that blocked everyone's line of sight.

"Teacher!"

"Run!"

A roar startled Bibi Dong back to her senses. Meeting the boy's gaze, she saw that he had completely changed in appearance.

His original purple-gold hair was now coated in ice crystals, and a hint of pale blue had appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, she could clearly feel the spirit power frozen within her body beginning to thaw, bit by bit.

"This..."

"Chen Xing..."

"Are you saving me?"

She had been so cruel to this brat before, and she had hated him so much...

But why, this feeling of being chosen and trusted, was appearing because of him.

Bibi Dong looked down at the boy, only to find that he had been pierced through by the entire crystal ice arrow.

Endless rage flooded her mind in an instant, and her Rakshasa Divine Power could no longer be contained, spreading outward like a monstrous tidal wave.

"Guang Ling!"
