Douluo: Return of the Killing Star, Starting with a Reckoning for Bibi Dong

"Nine 100,000-year spirit rings? This... how is this possible?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared at Qian Xun'an in utter shock. As a Title Douluo, he knew deeply just how difficult it was to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Throughout his entire life, even after becoming a Title Douluo, he had never possessed a single 100,000-year spirit ring.

Yet, on Qian Xun'an's body, there were actually nine 100,000-year spirit rings.

This... thinking of this, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart. "Oh no."

Just then, Qian Xun'an had already arrived in front of Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Xun'an, a look of shock also appearing in her eyes.

"Nine 100,000-year spirit rings, how on earth did you manage to do it?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong's martial soul was released. Her upper body was covered in a layer of purple-black armor, and even her face was obscured by a carapace.

Below her eyes, four small eyes had sprouted. When in use, her legs disappeared, and her abdomen transformed into a massive, circular, spherical body.

From this sphere grew eight thick, long legs that propelled her body as if flying. They were covered in patches of green hair and coated in disgusting, viscous slime. As it dripped onto the ground, it hissed continuously, highly corrosive, making Bibi Dong look like a giant venomous spider.

Nine spirit rings also emerged; her spirit ring configuration was yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red.

However, compared to Qian Xun'an's nine red spirit rings, this seemed somewhat lacking!

Qian Xun'an instantly arrived before Bibi Dong, condensed a golden light in his hand, and threw a punch that landed heavily on her body.

BOOM--

A loud explosion rang out.

Bibi Dong's body immediately retreated several steps, while Qian Xun'an remained completely unmoved.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's heart was filled with shock, and at the same time, it was filled with rage. She had never expected that she would be unable to block this single strike from Qian Xun'an.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were incensed, their eyes splitting with fury as they roared and lunged at Qian Xun'an simultaneously. "Stop!"

The two Title Douluos reached Qian Xun'an's side at almost the same time.

"You bold madman, what are you doing? Are you trying to lay a hand on Her Holiness the Pope?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted sternly. Above his body, a brilliant golden chrysanthemum appeared, then suddenly exploded, and a gleaming golden blade pierced directly toward Qian Xun'an's chest.

Ghost Douluo stomped his foot on the ground. In an instant, a pitch-black mist enveloped his body, and immediately after, the black mist transformed into countless tentacles that coiled toward Qian Xun'an.

This time, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo joined forces to attack Qian Xun'an, their combined strength extremely formidable.

However, their cooperation was still not worth mentioning in Qian Xun'an's eyes!

Qian Xun'an looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo with an icy gaze and scoffed, "You lackeys by Bibi Dong's side—I've long found you eyesores. With your pathetic little tricks, you dare to stop me?"

As he spoke, the first spirit ring on Qian Xun'an's body lit up instantly.

Qian Xun'an said calmly, "First Spirit Skill, Angel Assault!"

In an instant, Qian Xun'an's body transformed into a golden afterimage, striking toward the two Title Douluos. Wherever he passed, the void shattered, and his terrifying speed was suffocating!

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt a sense of dread and hurriedly tried to dodge, but they were ultimately a step too late.

"Bang--"

With a loud crash, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were hit head-on by Qian Xun'an, their bodies sent flying backward instantly.

"Pfft--" Two sprays of blood erupted as the two Title Douluos were sent reeling.

Qian Xun'an did not care about those two elders. He turned around, fixed his icy gaze on Bibi Dong, and said coldly:

"How about this, I'll give you a chance. Slap yourself twice right now, and when Xiao Xue returns, apologize to her, and I will spare you. How about that?!"

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth as she looked at Qian Xun'an. She naturally understood what it would mean if she actually slapped herself twice.

She was the Pope of Martial Soul Hall! Where would the Pope's dignity remain? How could she continue to command authority in Martial Soul Hall in the future?

Bibi Dong's face turned gloomy. "Qian Xun'an, I admit that you are indeed very strong, but do not think that you are an invincible existence!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong immediately lunged at Qian Xun'an, a massive spider leg striking toward him.

However, Bibi Dong's attack was still a beat too slow, because the moment she moved, Qian Xun'an had already reached her back and smashed a fist toward her.

Bibi Dong's body swayed slightly, narrowly dodging this strike from Qian Xun'an. But Qian Xun'an rushed at her again, and this time, his speed was even faster!

He arrived in front of Bibi Dong in an instant and slapped her hard across the face.

"Slap--"

A crisp sound accompanied by Bibi Dong's scream rang out. Her left cheek had already swollen rapidly, and her once beautiful and moving face was completely distorted.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood up again, both appearing exceptionally furious.

Chrysanthemum Douluo roared, "Stop!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately shouted sternly, "You, you actually dare to strike Her Holiness the Pope, you..."

Ghost Douluo also spoke, "Although you are the Head of the Enforcement Hall of the Judgment Hall, you struck Her Holiness the Pope—is this not an act of insubordination?"

Qian Xun'an glanced at them and said indifferently, "Insubordination? In front of me, Qian Xun'an, who dares to claim to be my superior?!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong, who was to the side, roared, "You... you actually dare to hit me?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong roared, "Sixth Soul Skill, Vampire Spider Thorn!"

In an instant, spider thorns condensed all around Bibi Dong, each one radiating a chilling, icy light.

"Go to hell!" Bibi Dong shrieked, and the Vampire Spider Thorn shot out, heading straight for Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, a golden light shield appeared beside him. All those spider thorns were blocked by the shield, unable to get anywhere near him.

Bibi Dong was shocked. The light of the soul rings on her body erupted, and a layer of golden-red light burst forth. Her body shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Qian Xun'an.

"Hum—" A strange buzzing sound rang out. Before Bibi Dong's attack could even touch Qian Xun'an, it was blocked by a milky-white halo.

Qian Xun'an said indifferently, "I have already given you a chance. Since you are unwilling to fight on your own, I will do it myself!"

In an instant, Qian Xun'an took a step forward and arrived in front of Bibi Dong.

A powerful soul power erupted, instantly breaking through Bibi Dong's defense, and another slap was sent out.

Qian Xun'an's slap landed heavily on Bibi Dong's face. Bibi Dong could not defend against it at all, and her delicate body was sent flying sideways.

"Slap—"

With a crisp sound, Bibi Dong fell to the ground.

Pfft—

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Bibi Dong's mouth. She looked at Qian Xun'an with eyes full of hatred, wishing she could swallow him alive.

"Qian Xun'an, you humiliate me like this; I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Bibi Dong went mad. Terrifying soul power surged out instantly, and a powerful pressure immediately permeated the entire Pope Hall. Endless power surged toward Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Bibi Dong, and said, "Oh, is this... getting serious?"

"If you think you can win against me, feel free to try!"

As he spoke, a powerful pressure also erupted from Qian Xun'an's body. Rolling soul power swept out continuously, colliding with Bibi Dong's soul power.

"Stop!"

Just at this moment, a voice rang out from behind Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an fixed his eyes and saw that his father, Qian Daoliu, had already arrived.

"Xun'an, stop at once!"

Qian Daoliu immediately came between the two.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xun'an and said, "Xun'an, I know you are resentful about Xiao Xue's situation, but Bibi Dong is the Pope of Martial Soul Hall after all. If you humiliate her like this, aren't you slapping the face of our own Martial Soul Hall?

Furthermore, the teams from various nations will be arriving at our Martial Soul Hall soon. If you injure her, who will preside over this grand assembly?"

"She is the face of our Martial Soul Hall right now. If she is injured, wouldn't that make our Martial Soul Hall a laughingstock to the world?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xun'an and continued to speak.

Qian Xun'an looked at Qian Daoliu and said, "Father, I have my own sense of propriety!"

Immediately, Qian Xun'an turned back to look at Bibi Dong and said, "Bibi Dong, let me tell you, although you are the Pope, don't you dare think the entire Martial Soul Hall belongs to you. Martial Soul Hall is the foundation of our Qian family; it was before, it is now, and it will be in the future!

This time, consider it a lesson. If I find out again that you have done something to wrong our Martial Soul Hall or my elder brother, I will come back to settle the score with you!"

After Qian Xun'an finished speaking, he turned and left.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xun'an, then at Bibi Dong, his heart filled with bitterness. This child had been stubborn and strong-willed since he was young; once he made a decision, no one could change it.

He only hoped that Qian Xun'an would not discover the cause of Xunji's death; otherwise, he feared that this entire Martial Soul Hall would be turned upside down by him.

Bibi Dong watched Qian Xun'an's retreating figure, touching her face, her eyes revealing an incomparably venomous expression.

Although the injury on her face was not a major one.

As long as she circulated her soul power, it could be easily recovered.

However, this humiliation...
