A cold smile hung on Bibi Dong's face as she softened her footsteps and quietly approached the entrance to the secret chamber.
Imitating the way Qian Xunji had opened the chamber earlier, Bibi Dong repeated his steps and easily opened the tightly sealed door.
"Creak~!"
With a light press of Bibi Dong's slender hand on the mechanism, it began to operate slowly, opening the sealed chamber door from within.
Standing outside the chamber and looking into its pitch-black interior, the darkness in Bibi Dong's eyes deepened.
Qian Xunji, all my misfortune and pain began in this secret chamber. Today, it will end here as well!
Bibi Dong set the Saintess Scepter aside before stepping into the secret chamber.
Bibi Dong had lived in this chamber for a long time. It was only after she successfully became pregnant with Qian Renxue that Qian Xunji released her and gave her freedom.
Thus, Bibi Dong was extremely familiar with the chamber's layout and surroundings.
Even though it was now completely dark inside, and her vision was especially dim without any light, she could still make her way through in an orderly manner.
Within the vast chamber, she precisely avoided every obstacle and mechanism, accurately finding the place where Qian Xunji was in seclusion to heal his injuries.
In the darkness, Bibi Dong stared at Qian Xunji, who sat cross-legged on the bed, his Six-Winged Angel Spirit summoned behind him as he used sacred Angel Spirit Power to heal the injuries within his body.
A cold smile curled across her lips.
At this moment, Qian Xunji was wholly focused on healing his internal injuries and had not noticed Bibi Dong entering the chamber and watching him from the darkness.
He did not know that Bibi Dong was standing in the shadows, eyeing him like prey.
She waited at the side for an opportunity, biding her time to strike.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was like a tiger in the jungle, about to hunt.
Every inch of her radiated danger.
As she watched the man she had once respected most, there was no hesitation in Bibi Dong's eyes. She wanted only to kill him.
Qian Xunji was, after all, a level 95 assault-type Titled Douluo, and his martial soul was the god-grade Six-Winged Angel Spirit. His strength was exceptionally formidable.
Therefore, even though he had already suffered severe injuries,
Bibi Dong did not dare let down her guard in the slightest.
She carefully concealed herself in the darkness, waiting for the moment to strike.
The moment the opportunity came, she would immediately summon the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.
She would ambush him with her strongest skill and kill him completely.
In doing so, she would avenge her blood-deep hatred and end all the pain and misfortune of her past.
Filled with intense hatred for Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong's powerful, dense killing intent spilled from her body.
Like tangible energy, the uncontrolled killing intent pressed toward Qian Xunji, who was circulating Angel Spirit Power to heal himself.
That killing intent was far too dense, almost material in form. It was difficult for Qian Xunji not to notice it.
However, Qian Xunji was currently at a crucial point in circulating Angel Spirit Power to heal his injuries and could not allow himself even the slightest distraction.
The moment he lost focus, at best, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
At worst, he would suffer a backlash from the tyrannical power the Clear Sky Hammer had left inside his body, worsening his injuries.
Qian Xunji frowned tightly.
Unease spread through his heart, throwing the aura around him into turmoil.
As his aura fell into chaos, the injuries he had painstakingly suppressed instantly rebounded.
Qian Xunji felt sweetness rise in his throat as a mouthful of hot blood surged upward.
"Pfft~!"
Unable to suppress his injuries, Qian Xunji spat out a mouthful of blood.
Who is it? Such dense killing intent—the visitor is an enemy, not a friend!
Qian Xunji's thoughts grew heavy.
This secret chamber was extremely hidden, and fewer than five people knew of its existence.
Qian Xunji raised his head and looked weakly toward the source of the killing intent.
"Who's there?!" Qian Xunji forced himself to endure his injuries as he demanded coldly.
Qian Xunji believed he had put on a convincing act.
He was still that exceptionally gifted level 95 assault-type Titled Douluo.
Yet he had no idea that the deathly pallor on his face had already exposed him completely!
Right now, he was nothing more than a paper tiger whose claws and fangs had been pulled out.
Everything within Qian Xunji's sight was shrouded in darkness.
From that darkness came a crisp series of footsteps, the sound of high-heeled boots striking the ground.
Qian Xunji's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently ahead.
A faint sense of unease and fear spread like red ink dropped into hot water, gradually filling his heart bit by bit.
Even so, he continued staring stubbornly in that direction.
He stared at the approaching figure, wanting to know who this person was.
If the other party was not his enemy, then this was the Pope's Palace in Spirit City—his territory.
His life would not be in danger.
The other party would not dare harm him. Otherwise, they would not leave the Pope's Palace alive.
Even if they somehow escaped, what awaited them afterward would be endless pursuit.
With all these factors combined, the other party would not dare take his life.
Qian Xunji comforted himself with such thoughts.
His self-consolation worked. The fear in Qian Xunji's heart lessened considerably, and that unease was faintly suppressed as well.
From the darkness, Bibi Dong slowly emerged with imposing steps.
A bronze ancient lamp beside her burned with a faint flame, causing the darkness to flicker in and out of view.
As she drew closer, Bibi Dong's beautiful figure gradually entered Qian Xunji's sight.
Seeing that the visitor was actually Bibi Dong, a trace of discomfort flashed across Qian Xunji's face.
His gaze darkened.
Bibi Dong harbored a towering hatred for him. She wanted nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Qian Xunji had always known that.
In the past, he had not feared it, because his powerful cultivation suppressed her, and he also had that coward Yu Xiaogang to use as leverage.
But now, he was severely wounded and unable to move. In this secret chamber, he could call to heaven and earth alike, yet receive no answer. No matter what happened here, no one outside would know.
Furthermore, he had left to hunt the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor. No one had seen him return alive.
Paper could not contain fire forever. Before long, everyone would learn that the entire Douluo Group he had taken to hunt the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor had been wiped out by Tang Hao.
Based on that alone, Bibi Dong could easily pin all blame for harming him on Tang Hao.
Staring at Bibi Dong before him, Qian Xunji forced calm into his eyes.
He released his powerful aura, attempting to intimidate Bibi Dong with it.
"Bibi Dong, what are you doing here?"
Qian Xunji stared coldly at Bibi Dong, his voice carrying a trace of restrained anger.
At the same time, he drew upon his last breath and released his Angel Spirit Power.
The vast Angel Spirit Power instantly intimidated Bibi Dong.
Under Qian Xunji's powerful aura and immense Soul Power, Bibi Dong immediately grew wary and did not dare make another rash move.
Seeing that Bibi Dong had clearly been intimidated, Qian Xunji immediately pressed the advantage.
With a thought, vast Angel Spirit Power erupted from Qian Xunji's body.
Magnificent and overwhelming Angel Spirit Power crashed toward Bibi Dong like mountains collapsing and seas overturning.
Feeling Qian Xunji's Soul Power bearing down like a landslide and tsunami, Bibi Dong's expression indeed changed slightly, and her steps involuntarily retreated.
She stopped three meters before Qian Xunji and quietly watched him.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she fixed them on Qian Xunji, not missing the slightest change in his expression.
She seemed to be trying to determine whether Qian Xunji was merely putting on a front.
Bibi Dong still feared Qian Xunji, after all.
Qian Xunji was a genuine level 95 assault-type Titled Douluo.
Meanwhile, she was only a level 89 Soul Douluo.
The gap between her and Qian Xunji was as vast as heaven and earth.
As she stared directly at Qian Xunji to determine whether he was truly gravely injured, Bibi Dong was also searching for an opportunity to ambush him and end his life.
By relying on that sudden burst of powerful Soul Power, Qian Xunji successfully intimidated Bibi Dong.
Unfortunately, he had already reached the end of his strength.
After the eruption of Soul Power, he immediately spat out another mouthful of blood.
After coughing up that blood, his entire aura completely withered, as though he were a gravely injured man on the verge of death.
