Qian Xunji's Demise

Seeing this, Bibi Dong stepped forward once more and released her first martial soul: the Death Spider Emperor.

As the Death Spider Emperor martial soul was released, Bibi Dong's aura rose steadily, each step carrying her to a new realm.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz~!"

Eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—rose from her body and descended one by one beneath her feet.

The dagger had finally been revealed.

Having confirmed that Qian Xunji was truly grievously wounded and no longer had the strength to resist,

Bibi Dong no longer restrained the killing intent in her eyes, releasing it in full.

Killing intent surged from Bibi Dong's body, so dense it seemed almost tangible. Under its influence, the wicks of the ancient bronze lamps in the secret chamber swayed from side to side, flickering as though on the verge of going out.

"Bibi Dong, what are you trying to do? This is the Pope's Palace!"

The murderous aura around Bibi Dong made her seem like an unparalleled demon.

Fear welled up in Qian Xunji's heart.

He raised his voice in a stern demand.

He wanted to warn her, to remind her that this was the Pope's Palace.

"Of course I know this is the Pope's Palace." At this point, Bibi Dong deliberately drew out her voice. With an inextinguishable malevolence in her eyes, she asked, "But so what?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong's third soul ring abruptly lit up.

"Third Spirit Skill: Death Spider Web Restraint!"

With Bibi Dong's soft cry, a spider immediately appeared behind her.

A dark-purple web sprayed from the spider's mouth, and the web, carrying poisonous mist, instantly entangled Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji was severely wounded, and the Soul Power within his body was in chaos. He simply could not mobilize it to contend against Bibi Dong's spirit skill.

He could only watch helplessly as Bibi Dong's Third Spirit Skill: Death Spider Web Restraint slowly wrapped around him.

Like maggots clinging to bone, the spiderwebs enveloped him in an instant, wrapping him into a cocoon and leaving him unable to move.

The poison traveled through the silk wrapped around his body and seeped into his skin.

Bit by bit, it entered his body, spreading within him and corroding his internal organs.

"Bibi Dong, I am your teacher. I raised and trained you."

"A teacher for a day, a father for life. You cannot treat me like this."

Feeling more and more poison accumulating in his body, continuously devouring his life force, boundless terror appeared in Qian Xunji's eyes.

His voice was filled with infinite fear.

For the sake of survival, he hurriedly berated Bibi Dong.

Shamelessly, he invoked his status as her teacher, claiming that he had raised and trained her.

She could not do this. Doing so would be killing her teacher.

Killing one's teacher was against the heavenly way and would invite divine punishment.

At those words, a cruel sneer appeared on Bibi Dong's lips, with a hint of madness in her smile.

"Teacher?"

"Qian Xunji, you still have the nerve to call yourself my teacher?"

"Teacher? Do you honestly think you deserve that word, Qian Xunji?"

"What kind of teacher does that to his own disciple!?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong seemed to recall that unbearable past.

Tears suddenly glimmered in her eyes.

She became even more frenzied, as though she had completely lost her mind and fallen into madness.

Like a madwoman, she stared grimly at Qian Xunji, who had been wrapped in a spiderweb cocoon before her, and let out a piercing roar.

She was venting the endless pain within her heart upon Qian Xunji.

"As a teacher, you, Qian Xunji, are unworthy. You are nothing but a complete scumbag!"

"The source of all my pain over these years has been you, Qian Xunji."

"If not for you, Qian Xunji, that scumbag, I would have had my happiness.

I would have had a happy and complete family with my Xiao Gang.

And we would have had a child of our own."

"But because of you, Qian Xunji, everything I had became a castle in the air.

A castle in the air that could only be imagined, never touched!"

The more deeply she spoke, the dissatisfaction and hatred Bibi Dong had suppressed for so many years seemed to find an outlet and burst forth all at once.

Bibi Dong had completely fallen into madness, utterly frenzied.

Her hair fluttered in the killing intent, her eyes brimming with dark-purple evil energy. Her entire being exuded a sinister aura.

"Qian Xunji, you ruined me! You harmed me!"

"Because of you, the life that should have been bright became so filthy and unbearable."

"Today, I will avenge my former self."

"Sixth Spirit Skill: Blood Sucking Spider Thorn!"

The sixth soul ring on the frenzied Bibi Dong's body suddenly lit up.

A vast and majestic surge of Soul Power emerged and flowed into the Death Spider Emperor behind her.

"Whoosh~!"

As that vast, majestic Soul Power poured into the Death Spider Emperor, a dark-purple glow appeared around its body.

Within the dark-purple glow, one of the Spider Emperor's eight legs transformed into a sharp spear radiating dark-purple light.

"Pfft~!"

The Death Spider Emperor's spear-like foreleg thrust forward, piercing directly through the spiderweb cocoon before it and impaling Qian Xunji, who was trapped within.

The dark-purple spear pierced straight through Qian Xunji's heart.

Crimson blood stained the spiderweb cocoon red, dripping down the spear and pooling into a puddle of blood on the ground.

"Bibi Dong, killing your teacher violates morality. You will surely suffer divine punishment."

"Yu Xiaogang will suffer divine punishment with you as well. He will be impotent forever, and after death, he will fall into the animal realm!"

Feeling his life force continuously drain away, Qian Xunji knew that his time had come.

At the brink of death, he hurled a vicious curse at Bibi Dong.

Did she not love Yu Xiaogang deeply?

Fine. Then he would curse Yu Xiaogang to death, curse him to be forever incapable and to fall into the animal realm after death.

Bibi Dong wanted happiness with Yu Xiaogang? Impossible!

Even if he died!

"Xiao Xue, Father will no longer be able to stay by your side."

"In the days ahead, you must be strong. Do not trust that woman Bibi Dong. She is not a good mother to you.

Her heart holds only that man Yu Xiaogang. In her eyes, you are merely the child of her enemy."

As his consciousness gradually blurred, the one Qian Xunji worried about most in his final moments was Qian Renxue.

Once he was gone, his daughter would surely be harmed by that vicious woman.

Even if she did not harm her, she would maliciously abuse and torment her.

Qian Xunji knew this better than anyone.

To Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue was nothing more than a bastard child, a lowborn wretch, the child of an enemy.

From beginning to end, Bibi Dong had never truly regarded Qian Renxue as her own daughter.

In the past, she had not dared do anything to Xiao Xue because he was there, because he had threatened her with Yu Xiaogang's life.

But even so, that cold-hearted woman Bibi Dong had never shown Xiao Xue a kind face.

She had even frequently beaten and scolded Xiao Xue whenever he was absent.

She used Xiao Xue as a punching bag, venting her dissatisfaction and endless hatred for him.

Only when he threatened her with Yu Xiaogang's life would she show Xiao Xue a pleasant expression and pretend to be a loving mother.

But a pretense was still a pretense.

Though she often smiled at Qian Renxue in front of him,

he could tell that Bibi Dong's smiles never reached her eyes.

"Qian Xunji, how dare you curse my Xiao Gang?"

"My Xiao Gang is mighty and strong as an ox. How dare you curse him!"

When Bibi Dong heard that Qian Xunji, even at death's door, still dared to curse her Xiao Gang, fury shot to her head.

Qian Xunji dared to curse Yu Xiaogang, so she would ensure that he died a miserable death and could not enter reincarnation after dying.

A cruel, bloodthirsty glint appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes as she directly switched to her second martial soul.

She switched her martial soul from the Death Spider Emperor to the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.

Using the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's devouring attribute, she cruelly devoured the sacred Angel Spirit Power and Angel Soul within Qian Xunji's body.

The Soul Devouring Spider Emperor erupted, transforming into a terrifying dark vortex.

The vortex mercilessly consumed Qian Xunji's flesh, Soul Power, Angel Bloodline, and Angel Soul bit by bit, until it completely devoured him.
