Soul Land: The Return of the Killing Star, Settling Accounts with Bibi Dong at the Start, Part 49

"Pfft—" The White-Armored Earth Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood. Its aura weakened considerably, and it lost its ability to fight.

Qian Xun'an stepped forward again and looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo. "It seems that after I spared you back then, you returned and informed Bibi Dong."

Chrysanthemum Douluo was utterly shocked. He stared at Qian Xun'an, trembling all over.

He looked at Qian Xun'an in terror, while Qian Xun'an calmly regarded him. "I told you long ago: as an elder of Spirit Hall, your loyalty should be to Spirit Hall, not to Bibi Dong or to me.

"So it seems you took my words for nothing!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately said, "Lord Adjudicator, I was wrong! I was wrong! I won't dare do it again!"

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo beg for mercy did not move Qian Xun'an in the slightest. He merely looked at him with a hint of pity. "I already gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"

As he spoke, Qian Xun'an swung his palm.

Soul Power condensed into a gigantic hand, which swept viciously toward Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately released the chrysanthemum in his hand, trying to block the attack. But before that enormous palm, the flower was as fragile as glass. It shattered in an instant, and the giant hand struck Chrysanthemum Douluo as well.

The next moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's body flew backward and crashed hard into the wall.

"Cough, cough..." Chrysanthemum Douluo coughed violently, a stream of blood gushing from his mouth. His face turned deathly pale.

Qian Xun'an looked at him coldly. "You have no value alive anymore. Die!"

As he spoke, Qian Xun'an raised his arm again.

Feeling the fierce aura radiating from Qian Xun'an, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally panicked. He hurriedly begged, "Wait! I'm willing to submit to you. Please don't kill me. I can tell you everything I know. I'll confess to anything!"

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's pleading expression, Qian Xun'an gave no response. He simply raised his right arm slowly. Just as his palm was about to fall, a streak of purple light appeared before him.

"Stop!"

"Qian Xun'an, you've fallen to demonic influence! Chrysanthemum Douluo is an elder of Spirit Hall. Are you sure you want to kill him?"

Bibi Dong's voice rang out, and a streak of purple light appeared before Qian Xun'an.

Hearing Bibi Dong's voice, Qian Xun'an sneered. "You finally showed yourself. I have to admit, you staged this quite well. But in the face of absolute strength, everything you've done is nothing more than a child's game!"

"Who I kill is up to me, Qian Xun'an. Can you stop me?"

As soon as Qian Xun'an finished speaking, an overwhelmingly powerful force shattered the purple barrier Bibi Dong had released. A terrifying blade of energy slashed toward Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan!

The energy was so powerful that Yue Guan felt a chill run through him. He could almost smell his life slipping away.

Yue Guan's pupils contracted as he stared at Qian Xun'an's devastating attack.

He gathered all his Soul Power to form a shield. Made from every ounce of his Soul Power, it had immense defensive strength. It was the strongest shield Chrysanthemum Douluo could possibly create.

Yet against Qian Xun'an's attack, the shield was unbearably fragile. The terrifying energy blade tore through it in an instant.

The next moment, Yue Guan's burly body was sent flying and slammed heavily into the ground, blood pouring from his mouth.

"No!"

Yue Guan roared as the terrifying force pierced straight through his body.

A bloody gash appeared across Yue Guan's body. The next moment, he split apart, cleaved in two by Qian Xun'an.

Bibi Dong appeared above Pope Hall. Looking at Qian Xun'an, she shouted, "Everyone can see it now, can't you? Qian Xun'an has fallen to demonic influence. He's gone mad!"

"If we don't stop him, he'll destroy all of Spirit Hall! You two High Priests, are you still going to stand by and watch? Why haven't you acted?"

Bibi Dong shouted.

The next moment, Xiangmo Douluo and Qianjun Douluo appeared.

The two High Priests looked at Qian Xun'an. "Xun'an, have you really been controlled, as Bibi Dong claims?"

Qian Xun'an looked at Xiangmo Douluo and Qianjun Douluo, then replied calmly, "Do you two uncles think I've been controlled?"

The two High Priests exchanged glances as they looked at Qian Xun'an, unsure what to do.

At that moment, Bibi Dong pointed at Qian Xun'an from behind them. "Can't you see? He killed Ghost Douluo, an elder of Spirit Hall. He killed Hu Liena, the Saintess of Spirit Hall. Now he's killed Chrysanthemum Douluo, another elder.

"If he hasn't been controlled by the Evil God, why has he repeatedly killed our people and weakened Spirit Hall's strength?"

Xiangmo Douluo and Qianjun Douluo looked troubled.

On one side was the Pope; on the other was Qian Xun'an, the Adjudicator Elder. Whichever way they chose, they would be in the wrong.

"It's all the Great Enshrined's fault for giving us such a difficult task!"

Xiangmo Douluo sighed.

Qianjun Douluo looked at Qian Xun'an. "Xun'an, can you explain what you've done?"

Qian Xun'an looked at everyone and began, "Fine. Listen closely. I killed Hu Liena because she betrayed Spirit Hall. She brought Tang San into our group, nearly costing Spirit Hall several Soul Saints.

"If you want proof, those Soul Saints can testify!

"The same goes for Ghost Douluo. He knew Tang San possessed the Clear Sky Hammer and was a member of the Clear Sky Sect, yet he still let Tang San join our group. He even wanted to arrange a marriage between Hu Liena and Tang San.

"Isn't that betrayal?

"As for Chrysanthemum Douluo, he knew that Pope Bibi Dong killed my eldest brother, Qian Xunji, and yet he still aided her, willingly serving as her dog. Tell me, if I didn't kill him, who should I have killed?"

Then Qian Xun'an looked at Bibi Dong. "Bibi Dong, stop acting. I've found the evidence that you killed my eldest brother. Today will be the day you die!"

At those words, Bibi Dong's body shook violently. She froze in place, as if she had forgotten how to react.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she stammered, "You... I don't know what you're talking about."

"Heh. Even now, you're still pretending not to know?" Qian Xun'an said coldly.

"Hmph! Qian Xun'an, stop spreading lies! Everyone can see that the Rakshasa God has controlled him. He's spouting nonsense!" Bibi Dong shouted angrily.

Qian Xun'an sneered. "Controlled by the Rakshasa God?"

"Bibi Dong, you're the one who received the Rakshasa inheritance, aren't you?" Qian Xun'an said, looking at her.

"What inheritance? I have no idea what you're talking about!" Bibi Dong continued to deny it.

"Everyone, why haven't you acted? Are you going to stand by and watch Qian Xun'an destroy Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong immediately ordered loudly.

At Bibi Dong's command, the remaining Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo had no choice. They had already made a show of force before Qian Xun'an. Now that they had gone this far, there was no turning back!

Demon Bear Douluo roared and released his Martial Soul Avatar. His body transformed into an enormous Demon Bear, hundreds of meters tall, radiating a dense, savage aura.

"Die!" Demon Bear Douluo bellowed as he charged straight at Qian Xun'an, his massive claws swiping toward him.

"Rumble—"

At the same time, Ghost Leopard Douluo moved and released his Martial Soul Avatar.

He transformed into a swift Ghost Leopard, its form indistinct. It swept past Demon Bear Douluo's back, then appeared behind Qian Xun'an and opened its jaws to bite him.

Facing their joint assault, Qian Xun'an remained completely calm. Golden flames surged around him. He stamped both feet against the ground and leapt into the air. The golden flames transformed into countless small swords, which shot straight toward Ghost Leopard Douluo and Demon Bear Douluo.

"Pfft—"

Ghost Leopard Douluo had only just appeared in the air when countless blades pierced his body. Golden swords pinned him to the wall, blood spilling from his mouth as he lost the will to fight.

As for Demon Bear Douluo, he blocked the countless sword strikes, but countless blades still pierced his shoulder.

"Ah—"

Demon Bear Douluo cried out in pain, then glared furiously at Qian Xun'an in the air and roared, "You little bastard! You dared to hurt me! I'll fight you to the death!"

With that, Demon Bear Douluo's aura surged several times over. He raised his enormous fist and slammed it fiercely toward Qian Xun'an in the air.

Qian Xun'an snorted coldly and punched downward as well.

Their fists collided. A terrifying shockwave swept in every direction, toppling nearby houses, snapping trees, and sending dust billowing into the air.

Bibi Dong had already retreated far away to watch the battle. After all, the two fighters were both Titled Douluo-level powerhouses.

Just then, Demon Bear Douluo's right arm suddenly exploded.

"Argh!"

The intense pain made Demon Bear Douluo throw his head back and howl in anguish.

Qian Xun'an had dealt with the last two Titled Douluo. He turned to Bibi Dong. "Bibi Dong, you're next!"

Seeing Qian Xun'an charging toward her, Bibi Dong was horrified. She immediately shouted, "You two High Priests, act now! Are you going to stand by and watch Qian Xun'an kill everyone in Spirit Hall?"

"These elders are the backbone of Spirit Hall! If they die, who will protect Spirit Hall?"

Xiangmo Douluo and Qianjun Douluo exchanged a glance. In the end, they decided to act.

Xiangmo Douluo and Qianjun Douluo both summoned their Coiling Dragon Staffs. Two enormous staffs appeared in the air.

The two great Coiling Dragon Staffs appeared before Qian Xun'an, one red and one blue, radiating an extremely terrifying pressure.

The two High Priests spoke in unison. "Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Panlong Annihilation!"

The next moment, the two enormous Coiling Dragon Staffs fused together, forming a gigantic divine dragon. It roared and instantly charged toward Qian Xun'an.

It was, after all, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two High Priests. Qian Xun'an remained impassive and said, "I'm sorry, Uncles. Please take a rest for now!"

As Qian Xun'an spoke, he reached out his hand. The Angel Holy Sword instantly formed in his grasp, and the fifth Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on his body lit up.

A fusion skill from two High Priests was finally enough to make Qian Xun'an use a Soul Skill.
