Beaten to the Brink of Death

Ling Feng entered the Pope's Palace with a dark expression, his hands clasped behind his back and murderous aura radiating from his entire body.

His terrifying presence directly intimidated the entire Pope's Palace.

Under the influence of Ling Feng's immense aura, the energy in the air condensed into countless sharp swords.

Each sword floated in midair. As Ling Feng slowly strode forward, the swords formed from condensed air automatically moved aside.

Like servants, they hovered within the domain around Ling Feng.

Ling Feng approached with a dark face, his gaze fixed on Bibi Dong as a flash of killing intent passed through his eyes.

He had already intended to kill Bibi Dong.

Now, Bibi Dong had successfully courted death, practically dancing on top of her own grave.

She actually wanted to send Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent, wasting her cultivation talent in the process. How did Bibi Dong dare?!

Did she really think he, her Dao Protector, did not exist? That he was just a decoration?

With every step Ling Feng took, the killing intent around him became tangible, transforming into killing swords of various forms.

Those killing swords were completely different from the swords floating in the air.

Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the other Spirit Hall offerings all sucked in a sharp breath at the sight.

Qian Daoliu's voice sank as he enunciated with grave solemnity, "Sword Dao Domain!"

"It is said that Ling Feng's Sword Dao Domain can turn all things into swords and wield them for his own use."

Meeting the eyes of such a Ling Feng, Bibi Dong felt as though she were staring into the eyes of a bloody god of death.

Bibi Dong's heart jolted, and her expression changed abruptly.

As she stared at Ling Feng walking toward her, a hint of panic rose in her eyes.

Ling Feng was merely a Dao Protector, fundamentally different in status from Qian Daoliu.

He did not need to worry about as much as Qian Daoliu or hold back as much.

Qian Daoliu would consider Qian Renxue. Since Bibi Dong was her only remaining family in the world, he would not dare truly kill her.

But Ling Feng truly dared to kill her.

"Bibi Dong, please repeat what you just said."

As he spoke, a sword condensed from air silently followed Ling Feng's gaze and rested against Bibi Dong's neck.

Feeling the chill against her neck, Bibi Dong abruptly held her breath.

Ling Feng had just suffered a setback in Sacred Soul Village, and the frustration within him had nowhere to go.

Bibi Dong had walked straight into the line of fire.

When Bibi Dong looked toward Qian Renxue, Ling Feng did not give her a chance to speak.

With a thought, the sword against her neck pressed down.

The sharp blade easily broke her skin, drawing blood.

The longsword slowly pressed down, its edge drawing infinitely close to her carotid artery.

With even the slightest additional force, Bibi Dong's artery would surely be severed.

A piercingly cold pain came from her neck, filling Bibi Dong with horror.

"You just said that you wanted my Guardian to go to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent and help you seize the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Bibi Dong, do not try to play dumb!"

"Answer me. Was there such a thing, or not?!"

Ling Feng stepped closer to Bibi Dong.

Seeing her bite her lips tightly, with no intention of cooperating, Ling Feng lost all patience at once.

With a thought, two swords condensed from air appeared out of nowhere.

They pierced directly through both her knees, forcibly making her unable to stand.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and endured the pain, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this, Ling Feng snorted coldly.

Another thought rose in his mind, and two more swords appeared from thin air.

Following Ling Feng's will, the swords moved slowly downward and pierced Bibi Dong's arms.

The swords pierced her body, and the pain made Bibi Dong cry out in agony.

"No... No, I never thought of sending Xiao Xue to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent."

As the swords pierced through flesh, the pain forced her to cast aside her pride.

"Hah!"

"I thought your bones were as hard as your heart!"

Ling Feng clicked his tongue with a laugh when he heard that.

He raised his hand and summoned a sharp sword.

With a flick of his wrist, the sword stabbed downward toward Bibi Dong's heart.

The sword descended at a torturous crawl, growing larger and larger in Bibi Dong's pupils until it filled her entire vision.

"No!"

Feeling the threat of death, Bibi Dong's pupils shrank, and she shouted a sharp refusal.

Her desire to live drove her to resist, but swords pinned all four of her limbs, restricting her movements.

She could only watch helplessly as the sword stabbed straight toward her heart.

Thirty centimeters.

Twenty centimeters.

Ten centimeters!

The closer the sword came, the stronger the fear in Bibi Dong's eyes became.

No, she did not want to die. This should not have been her ending!

She did not want to die. She had only just dealt with that scum Qian Xunji.

She had only just received the Rakshasa God's inheritance and become the inheritor of the Rakshasa God's divine position.

She had only just become the Pope of Spirit Hall, and still had lofty ambitions left unrealized.

She had only just regained her virginity and had yet to reconcile with Xiao Gang and be together with him again.

Bibi Dong was filled with utter unwillingness.

Seeing that Ling Feng was about to kill Bibi Dong before Qian Renxue's very eyes, Qian Daoliu feared that the scene might leave a scar on the young girl's heart.

So he covered her eyes with his hand, refusing to let her watch.

"Xiao Xue, don't look!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo felt that merely covering Qian Renxue's eyes was not safe enough.

He used his enormous body to stand in front of her as well, blocking her view.

Although Bibi Dong had treated her poorly since childhood, she was still her blood relative, her mother bound to her by blood.

"Don't! Don't hurt my mother!"

Seeing her mother in danger—and seeing that the one threatening her was her own Dao Protector—

Qian Renxue erupted with strength and pushed Qian Daoliu's arm away.

Her nimble body slipped around Golden Crocodile Douluo's strong, burly frame as she threw herself at Ling Feng.

She stretched out her tender little hands and used her feeble strength to push Ling Feng away from Bibi Dong.

Then she spread her arms and stood stubbornly before Bibi Dong, shielding her mother with her own body as she confronted Ling Feng, refusing to let him hurt her mother.

Her mother had only just acknowledged her and begun treating her gently, so she could not let Ling Feng hurt her.

She did not want to become a child without a mother.

She had only just lost her father. If she lost her mother too, then only her grandfather would remain.

Qian Renxue's stubborn little face stood protectively in front of Bibi Dong.

Though she was terrified of death herself, her gaze remained resolute, showing no weakness at all.

Qian Renxue's push also caused Ling Feng's descending sword to veer off course.

The sword that should have pierced Bibi Dong's heart shifted by a full five fingers' width.

It stabbed into the cleft of her chest and pierced through her back.

Though Bibi Dong had narrowly escaped with her life, the strike still injured her internal organs.

She suddenly coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

With difficulty, she raised her eyes to look at Qian Renxue, who was clearly terrified of death herself.

Yet she had still chosen to use her thin, frail body to stand before Bibi Dong and protect her.

At the sight of Qian Renxue like this, Bibi Dong's eyes instantly filled with complicated emotions.

She looked weakly toward Ling Feng.

At that moment, Ling Feng frowned slightly.

He had not expected Qian Renxue to rush out and stop him.

"Move aside!"
