Silence. Shock!
As Liu Erlong turned to dust and drifted into the air, every spectator was dumbfounded.
She was a Soul Saint with a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul!
Yet she had been instantly killed by Qian Renchu, a young man in his twenties?!
"Teacher Erlong!"
"Godmother!" Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others cried out in heart-wrenching grief.
The Liu Erlong they respected had been killed just like that?
Crushed to pieces by Qian Renchu?
Their hatred for Qian Renchu ran bone-deep,
but never mind taking revenge on him—they could barely protect themselves.
"No, no, Erlong!" Yu Xiaogang wept bitterly,
Liu Erlong could be said to have been the woman he loved most.
Yet Qian Renchu had killed her just like that. At that moment, Yu Xiaogang desperately wanted to rush up and smash Qian Renchu into a pulp, but Flender held him back.
Though Flender was furious as well, he had not lost his reason,
he knew Yu Xiaogang's limits better than anyone!
"Uncle Sword, Spirit Hall is really going to start a massacre!"
"Liu Erlong was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect." Ning Fengzhi said angrily.
"Once there is a first, there will be a second! At a time like this, we absolutely cannot make a move!" Sword Douluo nodded gravely.
This was Spirit Hall. Even if Spirit Hall decided to kill everyone here, it was not impossible!!
The spectators were all furious, yet none dared speak out.
However, there were always those who feared nothing. An old man with green hair, green eyes, and green fingernails stepped forward!
This man was none other than Shrek Academy's honorary dean, Dugu Bo.
With his hands behind his back, he walked toward the arena. "Spirit Hall, what a Spirit Hall indeed. You actually dare kill a Shrek Academy instructor. No matter what, Spirit Hall must give this old man an explanation today!"
"Otherwise, do not blame this old man for showing no mercy!"
Dugu Bo was Shrek Academy's honorary dean and a dignified Title Douluo. If he did not step forward to demand an explanation now,
would the world not laugh at Dugu Bo for being utterly useless?
Besides, Dugu Bo had no fear. This was Spirit City, and he believed no one would dare attack him here,
otherwise, he could spread his poison throughout all of Spirit City!
The moment his words fell, nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—lit up beneath Dugu Bo's feet.
Everyone was shocked at the sight.
Dugu Bo was no ordinary man.
There was a saying on the Douluo Continent: whoever you provoked, never casually provoke Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo might only be at the bottom rung among Title Douluo,
but his poison was unrivaled under heaven and could make every soul master below the Title Douluo rank accompany him in death!
Yet Qian Renchu remained completely composed.
Since he could kill Liu Erlong, he naturally did not fear a mere Dugu Bo.
"Impudent! Dugu Bo, what are you trying to do?" Chrysanthemum Douluo saw through Dugu Bo's audacious intentions and coldly demanded first.
"Spirit Hall claims to be the sacred ground of the soul master world."
"Yet you openly killed an instructor of Shrek Academy. If you do not give us an explanation, I fear you will be unable to convince the masses!" Dugu Bo shouted sternly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was about to retort when Pope Bibi Dong spoke. "Very well, Dugu Bo. You want an explanation."
"I shall give you one!"
"Qian Renchu openly killed Shrek Academy instructor Liu Erlong. No one from Spirit Hall will intervene. Dugu Bo, Qian Renchu is yours to deal with!"
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and all the soul masters were utterly astonished.
Qian Renchu's talent was obvious to all.
Pope Bibi Dong was actually willing to abandon Qian Renchu and hand him over to Dugu Bo?
It was truly unbelievable!
"Bibi Dong!" Qian Renchu seemed unsurprised by Bibi Dong's decision. He looked at her coldly. "What a fine scheme of killing with a borrowed knife. But I can grant your wish."
"After all, crushing every enemy of Spirit Hall is my duty!"
"Either way, you are certainly going to die today!"
Killing Dugu Bo had already been part of Qian Renchu's plan, and Bibi Dong would not change that.
Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo. Destroying a Title Douluo would earn him a system reward.
Not only would he kill Dugu Bo, he would also destroy Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong had pushed him away once again, giving Qian Renchu yet another reason to eliminate her!
At his words, Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and her body trembled faintly.
It seemed Qian Renchu truly intended to make a move against her today!
I'm actually nervous! Bibi Dong thought to herself.
Hmph! Why would I fear a bastard!
With my immortal body, what do I have to fear!
Hearing the exchange between Bibi Dong and Qian Renchu, everyone present was stunned once more.
Qian Renchu, Spirit Hall's number one genius, seemed to share a deep-seated hatred with Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's Pope?!
Qian Renchu actually wanted to kill Bibi Dong?!
What was going on here?
"Hahaha!"
"Little brat, it seems your relationship with your Pope is not very good. You are right—this old man saw through her scheme of killing with a borrowed knife as well."
"This old man does not like being another's blade, but unfortunately, you killed a Shrek Academy instructor. This old man must eliminate you!"
Dugu Bo looked down arrogantly at Qian Renchu.
Clearly, Dugu Bo had misunderstood what Qian Renchu meant.
He thought Bibi Dong was using him to get rid of Qian Renchu!
"Dugu Bo, you are quite confident!" Qian Renchu looked at Dugu Bo with disdain.
"Shouldn't I be?"
"What, do you think that just because you easily defeated the Shrek Team and killed a mere Soul Saint,"
"you can survive before this old man, a Title Douluo?" Dugu Bo lightly stroked his beard and smiled smugly.
No matter how powerful Qian Renchu was, Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo. How could he possibly take a young man in his twenties seriously?
The observing soul masters all agreed with Dugu Bo's words.
Qian Renchu was indeed strong,
but compared to a Title Douluo, the gap was simply immeasurable!
"Uncle Sword, who would have thought that Spirit Hall's foremost prodigy had such deep hatred for Pope Bibi Dong! Bibi Dong would rather abandon him than preserve Spirit Hall's dignity." Ning Fengzhi smiled smugly. "It seems Qian Renchu is destined to die at Dugu Bo's hands!"
"No!" Unexpectedly, Sword Douluo shook his head. "I did not pay special attention earlier, but I keep feeling that something is off about the person on the arena!"
"Uncle Sword... what is off?" Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly.
"I cannot put my finger on it..." Sword Douluo shook his head. "Never mind that. Take this chance to save Rongrong. We cannot let her suffer any longer!"
Even someone as powerful as Sword Douluo had sensed that Qian Renchu on the arena was somewhat unusual, but he was not powerful enough to discover that Qian Renchu on the arena was merely a clone!
"Dugu Bo, you are arrogant indeed!" Chrysanthemum Douluo thought. Then let Young Master Qian Renchu send you to the afterlife!
"But His Holiness the Pope actually pushed Young Master Qian Renchu out. It seems the rift between Young Master Qian Renchu and His Holiness the Pope has become irreversible." Chrysanthemum Douluo thought. I need to prepare myself.
