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

"Xiao Wu, go!" Tang San shouted, and a strand of Blue Silver Grass whipped out toward Xiao Wu.

Tang San took Xiao Wu and vanished from the spot in an instant.

At this moment, Hu Liena hurriedly steadied her brother, Xie Yue. Watching Tang San's retreating back, she suddenly understood everything: she had been betrayed by Tang San.

"Chase him!" Yan roared, then led the group of Wuhun Hall soul saints in pursuit of Tang San.

Hu Liena stood frozen in place, taking a long time to react. Staring at Tang San's back, she said, "Damn you, Tang San! You dared to deceive me. Next time we meet, I will never let you go!"

"I'm afraid there won't be a next time for you."

The next moment, a voice rang out from within the crowd.

Qian Xun'an's figure suddenly appeared before everyone.

At this instant, whoever laid eyes on Qian Xun'an wore an expression of utter shock and disbelief.

"Lord... Lord Adjudicator?"

At this moment, everyone present looked on in horror, unable to believe their own eyes.

Seeing Qian Xun'an, those soul saints immediately knelt before him and shouted, "Greetings, Lord Adjudicator!"

One of the soul saints spoke up immediately, "Thank you, Lord Adjudicator, for your timely rescue. If not for you, we would surely be dead men by now."

Qian Xun'an's gaze was indifferent. He gave a slight nod, then looked at Hu Liena and asked, "Hu Liena, do you know your crime?"

Hu Liena looked at Qian Xun'an and replied, "I have successfully walked out of Slaughter City and earned the title of God of Slaughter. The Pope has already promised to let me return to Wuhun Hall as a Saintess. I do not know what crime I have committed."

Hu Liena questioned him defiantly; having earned the title of God of Slaughter, it was clear she felt more emboldened.

Qian Xun'an looked at Hu Liena coldly. Suddenly, he released a powerful pressure, his voice resonating like a divine decree, instantly suppressing everyone present.

"Hu Liena, colluding with the traitor Tang San and betraying Wuhun Hall, nearly causing the deaths of six Wuhun Hall soul saints—does this... not count as your crime?"

As the pressure descended, Hu Liena instantly buckled under the weight and collapsed to her knees before Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an then turned to one of the soul saints and asked, "Tell me, what happened just now?"

The soul saint looked at Qian Xun'an and said, "Reporting to Lord Adjudicator, that Tang Yin suddenly attacked us using hidden weapons. If not for your arrival, we would surely be dead by now."

Qian Xun'an continued to look at Hu Liena coldly. "Did you hear that? This is the crime of betraying the sect, a crime punishable by death!"

As these words fell, Hu Liena's entire body began to tremble, and she looked at Qian Xun'an in sheer terror.

Qian Xun'an's appearance was also noticed by Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who were locked in battle nearby.

The two instantly broke away from the two soul beasts, exchanged a glance, and shouted, "Retreat!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo withdrew instantly, flying toward Qian Xun'an's position.

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were somewhat bewildered by the sudden turn of events, but with the two Title Douluo no longer pestering them, they could better protect Xiao Wu.

"Go, we must save Xiao Wu!"

The two soul beasts immediately charged in the direction where Xiao Wu had fled.

Since the path Tang San and Xiao Wu had taken was behind Qian Xun'an, the two soul beasts had to pass through his location to reach them.

The two soul beasts charged toward Qian Xun'an's position.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo landed in front of Qian Xun'an. Neither of the two Title Douluo dared to show disrespect, so they knelt and saluted, "Greetings, Lord Adjudicator!"

At this moment, the two soul beasts also rushed over. When they were still a dozen meters away from Qian Xun'an, he glanced indifferently at the two lackeys before turning his eyes to the soul beasts.

"Scram!"

Qian Xun'an looked at the two soul beasts and gave a light shout.

The next moment, a terrifying sonic wave slammed into the two massive soul beasts. Before they could even react, they were sent flying backward for dozens of meters.

This sudden turn of events caused the expressions of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to change drastically.

Those two were hundred-thousand-year soul beasts! How could they not even withstand a single exchange?

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were deeply shaken, looking at Qian Xun'an's position in disbelief.

They could not believe that the human before them possessed such overwhelming power.

The two soul beasts stood at a distance, facing Qian Xun'an, not daring to act rashly.

Qian Xun'an then looked at Hu Liena and said, "Hu Liena, as a disciple of Wuhun Hall, I will show you some leniency..."

Hearing this, the heart that had been hanging in Hu Liena's chest finally settled, and her brows relaxed slightly.

"I will give you a chance to say your last words!"

When Qian Xun'an finished speaking, Hu Liena's body shook violently. Her pupils constricted, and she was filled with absolute terror...

Could it be...

Could it be that Lord Adjudicator... really intends to kill her?

At this moment, Ghost Douluo immediately said, "Lord Adjudicator, please listen to my explanation. Nana did not betray the sect; she did not know beforehand that it was Tang San, nor did she know that Tang San was a member of the Clear Sky Sect."

No sooner had Ghost Douluo finished speaking than Qian Xun'an kicked him in the stomach. Ghost Douluo's body flew backward instantly, slamming into a tree in the distance.

Ghost Douluo's mouth hung wide open, as if he were trying to say something, but in the end, his words never reached Qian Xun'an's ears.

"Do you really think I didn't hear your conversation? In that... Slaughter City, weren't you and Tang San acting all lovey-dovey and inseparable?"

Qian Xun'an, however, couldn't be bothered to care about whether Ghost Douluo lived or died. He walked slowly up to Hu Liena and stared at her coldly.

Hu Liena's body trembled. She gripped her clothes tightly, struggling to appear composed as she looked at Qian Xun'an.

Hu Liena looked at Qian Xun'an and then spoke, "My time with him in Wuhun Hall was merely for us to look out for one another. Is that a crime?"

Qian Xun'an looked at Hu Liena with indifference, unwilling to waste words on her. "Is this your final testament?"

Hu Liena knew that Qian Xun'an was determined to kill her and feared she couldn't escape today. She continued, "Qian Xun'an, you cannot kill me! If you kill me, my teacher will never let you off!"

Qian Xun'an looked at Hu Liena. The next moment, his soul power condensed into the shape of a palm and lashed out, striking her face with a brutal slap.

Slap—

With a loud crack, half of Hu Liena's face instantly swelled up. Blood spilled from between her teeth, and she collapsed onto the ground.

Qian Xun'an looked down at Hu Liena and sneered, "Is my name something you are allowed to utter so casually? Your teacher... as it happens, your teacher is just like you—a traitor to the sect. I will kill you first, then go and kill your teacher!"

"You..."

Hu Liena glared at Qian Xun'an, gritting her teeth.

At this moment, she could no longer feel her cheek; she even suspected that the bones in half of her face had shattered.

She was furious, yet utterly powerless.

Her heart was filled with despair.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, standing to the side, immediately pleaded, "Lord Adjudicator, while Nana is certainly at fault, her crimes do not warrant death. I beg you to show mercy!"

Hearing this, Qian Xun'an looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and said, "What is this? In your eyes, Hu Liena's life is a life, but the lives of the seven soul saints of our Wuhun Hall are not?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately lowered his head. "Nana is the saintess of our Wuhun Hall, so her life is naturally more precious than the others!"

No sooner had Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking than Qian Xun'an kicked him. His body was sent flying backward instantly.

The force of the kick was immense; Chrysanthemum Douluo crashed through several large trees before he finally came to a stop.

"Precious?"

"All people are born equal; who is more precious than whom? Because she had better luck or a higher birth, does that make her more precious than others? In the eyes of Qian Xun'an, even the gods in the heavens are equal to us."

"And yet, you tell me her life is more precious than others?"

Qian Xun'an shouted coldly.

"Furthermore, her status as saintess was revoked by me long ago. As for those other two members of the Golden Generation, I ordered them not to return to Wuhun Hall for ten years. Who gave them permission to come back?"

Qian Xun'an glanced indifferently at the distant Chrysanthemum Douluo, then turned his gaze back to Hu Liena. "Hu Liena colluded with outsiders and betrayed our Wuhun Hall. Her crime is punishable by death. Execute her!"

Qian Xun'an spoke coldly. Immediately, a massive guillotine blade condensed from soul power appeared before him and swung toward Hu Liena's neck.

At this moment, a look of despair appeared in Hu Liena's eyes.

"Stop!"

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo roared simultaneously. Both rushed forward, attempting to stop Qian Xun'an, but how could they possibly be a match for him?

An incredibly powerful aura erupted from around Qian Xun'an, and the sheer force of his soul power instantly sent Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo flying.

The next moment, Qian Xun'an's massive blade struck Hu Liena's neck. In an instant, blood sprayed into the air.

The heavy guillotine blade slammed into Hu Liena's neck with brutal force. Instantly, her neck shattered, and her head was completely severed from her body.

Hu Liena's body slumped limply to the ground.

Her head rolled away, eyes wide open, still filled with endless terror.

"Nana..."

"Nana..."

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo fell to their knees simultaneously, wailing toward the heavens.
