Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi (Please Follow and Keep Reading)

"Little beast, you won't get away this time!"

Qian Daoliu continued his pursuit of Tang San, his killing intent blazing.

Within minutes, Qian Daoliu had caught sight of Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

They had eaten Oscar's Flying Mushroom Sausages and received Ning Rongrong's speed boost.

They were flying so fast they had nearly reached the speed of a Titled Douluo.

If an ordinary Titled Douluo had pursued them, they might have escaped with their lives.

But today, their pursuer was Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined, one of the Soul Master World's two towering peaks: Qian Daoliu, a level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Despair rose in Tang San's eyes. The moment he saw Qian Daoliu closing in, he knew Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were likely doomed.

But right now, how could he spare a thought for whether they lived or died?

He was about to die himself!

Tang San roared in grief and fury within his heart:

I refuse to accept this! I'm God King Tang, destined to wield the Sea God's and Asura God's powers through Dual God Fusion. How can I die now?

I'm the chosen one, blessed by fate. Someone will come to save me. Someone must...

The distance between Qian Daoliu and the four of them kept shrinking. He raised the Sword of Judgment, ready to sever Tang San's neck.

"Qian Daoliu, if you dare kill him, I'll never forgive you!"

At that cold shout, Qian Daoliu froze. He lifted his head mechanically and looked ahead.

A woman stood there, staring at him coldly. Her crimson ceremonial robes wrapped around a full, shapely figure; sea-blue hair fell to her waist, and her exquisitely beautiful face was set with fury.

Qian Daoliu opened his mouth. Only after a long pause did he manage to speak her name.

"Xixi..."

Qian Daoliu had married back then to continue the Qian Family bloodline. He had never felt much affection for his wife.

Bo Saixi was different. Her grace and strength had truly stirred his heart.

Now, facing the woman who had once moved him, Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment before steeling himself again.

You once stirred my heart, but for Xue'er and Spirit Hall, Tang San must die today!

Qian Daoliu's gaze turned ruthless. He swung his sword at Tang San.

Too late!

For masters like him and Bo Saixi, a moment's hesitation was enough to change the course of a battle.

Bo Saixi arrived in time and swept her trident up to block his strike.

Clang! A terrifying shock wave erupted, hurling Tang San and the other three away.

Bo Saixi called out, "Tang San, I am the high priestess of Sea God Island. My name is Bo Saixi."

"Since Lord Sea God will choose you as his successor, I must keep you safe. Leave Qian Daoliu to me. The rest of you, go—get as far away as you can."

Tang San's face lit up with triumph. He shot Qian Daoliu a smug glance. He truly was the chosen one, blessed by fate.

Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were dead, Sea God Island's high priestess had still come to save him.

"Hahaha! I am the chosen one, blessed by fate! Who can kill me? Who dares?"

"Rongrong, Oscar, Fatty, let's go!"

"Qian Daoliu, I, Tang San, will remember what you did today. One day, I'll wipe out every last soul in your Spirit Hall. And your granddaughter—heh. This time, I won't just destroy her divine position. I'll make her beg for death and find none."

That was Tang San for you. When Qian Daoliu had first caught up, Tang San had politely called him "senior."

Now that Bo Saixi was backing him, he addressed Qian Daoliu by name without a trace of respect.

What a double standard!

Qian Daoliu's face turned ashen, fury blazing in his eyes.

"Xixi... Bo Saixi, you heard Tang San. He wants to destroy my Spirit Hall. Are you certain you intend to stop me?"

Bo Saixi stood before Qian Daoliu like a valkyrie, her robes billowing. The sound of waves crashing against the shore rolled closer and closer.

Her luminous eyes held a resolve that brooked no argument.

"Qian Daoliu, you know Tang San is the one Lord Sea God has chosen. As his high priestess, it is my duty to protect Tang San."

"Besides, he is Tang Chen's great-grandson. If Tang Chen learned that I stood by and watched his great-grandson die, how could I face him when he finally escapes Slaughter City?"

"Accept your fate, Qian Daoliu. Since destiny favors Tang San, why not submit to it? Disband Spirit Hall and take your granddaughter into hiding. That would give you a way out."

Accept my fate?!

Those words grated on Qian Daoliu's ears. He laughed—softly at first, then louder, until his laughter echoed between heaven and earth.

"Destiny?! If destiny truly favored Tang San, the Sky Screen should never have appeared, and my granddaughter should never have gone to the Higher-Dimensional Space."

"But the Sky Screen did appear, and my granddaughter alone made it to the Higher-Dimensional Space. That proves destiny favors the Qian Family, not Tang San."

"My Qian Family and Spirit Hall will never repeat the mistakes of the past. Xixi, this is the last time I'll call you that. From now on, you are Bo Saixi to me."

Bo Saixi felt a faint pang in her heart.

She knew that by calling her Bo Saixi instead of Xixi, Qian Daoliu was severing every bond between them.

Hmph!

Then let those bonds be severed!

Bo Saixi had never liked Qian Daoliu anyway.

I can't stand him!

Qian Daoliu unleashed his Angel Domain and leaned forward slightly, like a falcon soaring above the nine heavens, poised to dive upon its prey.

Bo Saixi's beautiful face turned cold. She unleashed her Sea God Domain, sending it surging toward Qian Daoliu.

Gold and blue clashed. The two god-level domains pressed against each other in a deadlock.

Not a trace of his former tenderness remained in Qian Daoliu's eyes. There was only killing intent, so fierce he wanted her dead.

Kill!

The two level 99 Peerless Douluo collided. In an instant, their fierce battle filled the sky with explosions like muffled thunder.

By the end, the two were so evenly matched that neither could overcome the other.

Qian Daoliu watched in bitter frustration as Tang San and the other three escaped with their lives.

Furious though he was, he stopped fighting.

If he could not kill Tang San, this battle had no meaning.

"Bo Saixi, I will return!"

"Spirit Hall failed to crush Sea God Island decades ago, but sooner or later, we'll come back to finish the job."

That did not sound imposing enough.

He should have said, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river." Now that would have sounded imposing.

Qian Daoliu turned and flew back to Spirit Hall.

He needed to plan an operation to destroy Sea God Island.

As for Douluo Continent's two great empires, he would let Bibi Dong wear them down at her leisure.

Even if blood flowed in rivers, all the sins would fall on Bibi Dong's shoulders.

Qian Daoliu was still the same Qian Daoliu, ever careful to keep his own hands clean...
