Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting by Settling Scores with Bibi Dong

"Not bad, not bad. Xun'an, do you have any other opinions?"

At this moment, Qian Xun'an let out a cold laugh.

"Hahahaha..."

Sentencing Bibi Dong to confinement within Wuhun Hall for one year—Bibi Dong had barely left Wuhun Hall in all these years anyway; could such a sentence even be called a punishment?

Qian Xun'an immediately looked at Qian Daoliu and said, "Father, although you are the Great Elder of Wuhun Hall, do not forget that I am the Hall Master of the Judgment Hall!"

"From the moment the Judgment Hall was established, there has been a rule: when the Pope breaks the law, they are to be punished just like any commoner!"

"Furthermore, you are all merely bystanders now. The one who is going to judge Bibi Dong is me!"

Qian Xun'an cast a cold gaze over all the elders present and continued, "These charges are indeed not enough to strip her of her position as Pope, but as the Pope, Bibi Dong has failed to set an example for our Wuhun Hall."

"Instead, she has used her authority to engage in corruption and pervert the law!"

"According to the laws of our Wuhun Hall, she should be given fifty strokes of the rod in front of everyone in Wuhun Hall!"

"As for that traitor Yu Xiaogang, lock him in the dungeons of Wuhun Hall!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, without exception, revealed expressions of shock.

Fifty strokes of the rod?

Is Qian Xun'an actually planning to... beat the Pope?

At this moment, Qian Daoliu and the other high-ranking officials also changed color.

After all, Bibi Dong was the Pope of Wuhun Hall, representing the highest authority of the organization, yet Qian Xun'an intended to give her fifty strokes in front of everyone.

For a Title Douluo like the Pope, these fifty strokes would be easy to endure.

However, to beat the Pope in front of everyone in Wuhun Hall—where would that leave the Pope's dignity?

Qian Xun'an turned his cold gaze toward Bibi Dong and continued, "Bibi Dong, do you have any objections?"

"Qian Xun'an, you dare to strike me?" Bibi Dong was instantly enraged, looking at Qian Xun'an to demand an explanation.

Qian Daoliu, standing to the side, immediately spoke up: "Xun'an, you are talking about striking the Pope of Wuhun Hall; you are striking the very face of Wuhun Hall. This is inappropriate!"

The other elders also chimed in, "Doing this is truly going too far."

Qian Xun'an let out a cold laugh. "Too far?"

"I want everyone in Wuhun Hall to see that the greatest authority in our Wuhun Hall is not the Pope, but the laws of our Wuhun Hall!"

Qian Xun'an continued coldly.

Bibi Dong looked directly at Qian Xun'an and shouted, "Qian Xun'an, I am the Pope of Wuhun Hall. Everything in Wuhun Hall should follow my commands."

"The Great Elder has already punished me, yet you insist on punishing me again. Is this not overstepping your bounds and abusing your power?"

Qian Xun'an looked at Bibi Dong and continued, "Bibi Dong, if these reasons are not enough to justify striking you, then what about this reason?"

As he spoke, Qian Xun'an sent a direct telepathic message to Bibi Dong: "Bibi Dong, I know you are involved in the death of my elder brother!"

Only Bibi Dong heard this sentence. At that moment, her face changed drastically, and her body began to tremble.

Bibi Dong's expression turned pale; she naturally did not want the other elders to know about this matter. She immediately sent a telepathic retort: "Qian Xun'an, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao. Tang Hao admitted it himself that day. How can you frame me?"

Qian Xun'an looked at Bibi Dong and continued to transmit: "I only suspected you before, but after seeing your reaction, I am even more certain."

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Xun'an and continued to transmit: "Hmph, so that means you are only guessing. You have no evidence. If you had evidence, you wouldn't be sending me a telepathic message."

Qian Xun'an replied coldly: "You are right. I have no evidence right now, so I can only punish you using other charges. The day I find the evidence, what awaits you will not be a mere slap on the wrist."

"Qian Xun'an, you lunatic!" Bibi Dong transmitted back.

Qian Xun'an sneered: "Bibi Dong, I will find the evidence. When that time comes, I will judge you again, but by then, I fear you will have to pay with your life."

"You..."

Bibi Dong's eyes turned icy. She felt a raging fire burning in her chest, wishing she could tear Qian Xun'an to pieces and grind his bones to dust!

Qian Xun'an glanced at Bibi Dong indifferently, then turned to the other elders of the Gongfeng Hall and said in a deep voice, "Elders, Bibi Dong is now under my judgment. I hope you will not interfere."

Bibi Dong wore a ferocious expression, gritting her teeth as she said, "I will not submit!! Qian Xun'an, just try to lay a hand on me!!"

Qian Xun'an let out a cold snort and said, "Since you are obsessed with your own delusions, do not blame me for being ruthless."

Qian Xun'an said calmly, "Someone, bring the rod!"

A Spirit Douluo brought the rod that Qian Xun'an had prepared in advance and presented it to him with both hands.

Qian Xun'an gripped the rod and looked at Bibi Dong. "Bibi Dong, do you confess your guilt?"

Bibi Dong immediately tried to argue, but at that moment, Qian Xun'an felt a hand land directly on his shoulder.

"Xun'an, you must not!"

The one who spoke was none other than Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu held Qian Xun'an back, still trying to stop him.

Qian Xun'an said coldly: "Father, if you intend to stop me, then do not blame me for being disrespectful."

"Xun'an, stop being so headstrong!"

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared before Qian Xun'an, attempting to block his path.

Qian Xun'an sneered, "Do you really think you can stop me?"

As he spoke, a terrifying aura erupted instantly from Qian Xun'an's body, shooting straight into the clouds and intimidating everyone present!

Everyone on the scene, including Bibi Dong, felt that horrifying aura, and her expression changed drastically.

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo were sent flying by the sheer force of Qian Xun'an's terrifying momentum.

Qian Daoliu stared at Qian Xun'an in utter shock; although Qian Xun'an was a Limit Douluo, was he not one himself?

Yet, judging solely by that display of power, even he feared he paled in comparison to Qian Xun'an.

Staggered by the pressure, Qian Daoliu retreated a dozen steps before finally coming to a halt.

Holding his staff, Qian Xun'an took a single step and arrived directly in front of Bibi Dong.

Seeing Qian Xun'an strike, a terrifying aura permeated Bibi Dong's body, and the phantom of an enormous spider appeared behind her.

The next moment, Bibi Dong activated her Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a pitch-black, foul-smelling giant spider. She opened her blood-red maw and lunged at Qian Xun'an!

This scene terrified the surrounding crowd.

"Bang..."

Qian Xun'an raised his staff and swung it, causing the giant spider to shatter instantly.

"Pfft..."

After the transformation broke, Bibi Dong spat out a mouthful of blood and tumbled down the steps.

Qian Xun'an coldly snorted, "One!"

Immediately, Qian Xun'an seized the momentum and swung his staff again with terrifying force, slamming it into Bibi Dong's chest.

Bibi Dong was sent flying backward by the impact.

"Two!"

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Thorn Armor!" Bibi Dong slowly stood up, her body covered in armor, and charged at Qian Xun'an once more!

"Three!"

Qian Xun'an swung his staff without a moment's hesitation.

"Bang!"

Bibi Dong was sent flying again, crashing hard onto the ground.

"Four!"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed as the left side of Bibi Dong's face instantly swelled up.

"Five!"

As he called out the number, Qian Xun'an raised his staff again and brought it down heavily on the other side of her face.

"Ah!"

Bibi Dong let out a painful roar.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled, and she had bitten her lips until they were nearly shredded.

"Qian Xun'an, I'll fight you to the death!" Bibi Dong roared in fury, screaming, "Vampire Spider Thorn!"

In an instant, countless spider thorns surged toward Qian Xun'an. Those thorns were coated in endless spider venom; if an ordinary Titled Douluo were struck, they would surely be left severely wounded.

Moreover, those thorns were controlled by Bibi Dong, moving at incredible speed with terrifying power.

Facing the overwhelming barrage of thorns, Qian Xun'an remained calm. He slammed his palm downward, and in an instant, the thorns shattered into fragments in mid-air.
