Qian Daoliu Arrives, Bibi Dong in Danger?
No, Tang Hao didn't kill Qian Xunji. Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji after he returned. According to the plot, with me here, Bibi Dong wouldn't have a chance to strike, and Qian Xunji couldn't possibly die. Why did she go out?
Qian Nuo was somewhat puzzled.
He didn't yet know that, because Bibi Dong feared him, she had left Spirit Hall and gone to that place to kill and devour Qian Xunji.
He had thought Qian Xunji would return as he did in the plot.
Then he would use Cursed Technique Reversal directly on Qian Xunji's gravely injured body, instantly restoring him to his peak.
But all of that was gone.
"Ten days have passed. Tomorrow, we can begin the second stage of training."
Qian Nuo raised a hand and placed it on Qian Renxue, as he always did, activating Cursed Technique Reversal to restore her body, stamina, and strength to their peak.
"Brother, Xiao Xue finished today's tasks ahead of time!" Qian Renxue said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
In that short time, the high-intensity training had indeed made her body many times stronger than it had been ten days ago.
But while she considered the training high-intensity, in Qian Nuo's eyes, it could only be considered low-intensity.
The first stage was low-intensity, the second was medium-intensity, and only the third was high-intensity.
"Rest for an hour. After that, you'll spar with me. Remember, I won't hold back. Anyway, as long as I'm here, you can't die."
Qian Nuo looked at her and said, "Only by putting your body through pain and suffering will you gain more combat experience. Otherwise, you won't improve at all."
"I, I understand, Brother. Xiao Xue will do her best!"
Hearing Qian Nuo's words, Qian Renxue couldn't help shuddering.
Just as she finished speaking, a sudden pain came from her heart.
"Ah, it hurts! Brother, my heart hurts so much. It's as if something important has left me!"
She hurriedly clutched her chest, her face showing pain and sorrow. For no apparent reason, tears flowed from her eyes.
She reached up with her delicate hand and touched her face. Looking at the tears on her hand, she froze.
"Brother, what's happening? Did something go wrong with the training?"
Qian Renxue looked up, only to see Qian Nuo's gloomy expression.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Qian Nuo was looking toward the sky, his face grim as intense indifference flashed in his eyes.
Just now, he too had felt a pang in his heart. This might have been what people called heartache.
As Ryomen Sukuna, he was more sensitive to such things.
"I don't know. Go get some rest first. I'm going out for a bit." Qian Nuo wasn't sure either. He planned to go to the Pope's Hall and see whether Bibi Dong was there.
As long as Bibi Dong was there, this premonition was just a coincidence.
If she wasn't, it might be real.
With that, he soared into the sky and flew straight toward the Pope's Hall.
"Brother..." Qian Renxue watched Qian Nuo's retreating figure. Her intuition told her that something had definitely happened, and it was something serious.
But she was clever and didn't ask too many questions.
She sat cross-legged and began meditating and cultivating.
In the Pope's Hall area, Qian Nuo landed on the steps at the front gate.
The two guards were stunned at the sight.
A child had actually descended from the sky?
A Titled Douluo?
And the presence Qian Nuo gave off was terrifying.
"Where is the Pope?" Qian Nuo asked coldly.
"The Pope isn't inside. Her Holiness went out," a guard said.
One look at his bearing was enough to tell them that he was no ordinary person.
"Damn it." Qian Nuo's expression darkened. He sensed that even if he rushed over now, he would be too late.
Besides, he didn't know where she was.
Qian Daoliu had already gone to the rescue anyway, so he would wait at home.
In the canyon, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were fleeing for their lives. Using the terrain to their advantage, the two had spent a long time wearing Bibi Dong down.
"This is bad. If the Great Enshrined doesn't send someone to help us soon, we're really finished."
Yue Guan clutched his chest as he spoke.
Gui Mei gritted his teeth and said, "She wants to kill us, so we can only fight back. She killed the Pope anyway. When the time comes, the Great Enshrined definitely won't let her off!"
The two held on with all their might, summoning their Martial Soul Avatars and playing hide-and-seek with Bibi Dong in the canyon.
After all, they were Level 95 Titled Douluo. Though they were gravely injured, Bibi Dong, who didn't yet have her ninth Soul Ring, definitely couldn't kill them easily.
As for Qian Xunji, his injuries had been who knew how many times worse than theirs, and only that had given Bibi Dong the chance to strike.
"I can't drag this out any longer."
Standing on a rock in the canyon, Bibi Dong looked at the jumble of strange rocks ahead, her expression darkening.
Just as she was about to use her Martial Soul Avatar, her expression suddenly changed drastically.
She sensed a familiar pressure coming from the distant sky.
She jerked her head up and saw a golden light appear on the horizon.
A streak of light then swiftly appeared above the canyon.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei sensed it too, and excitement appeared on both their faces. "The Great Enshrined is here!"
They looked up to see the Great Enshrined already in the sky.
It was the familiar Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Sadly, the one wielding it now was not Qian Xunji, but Qian Daoliu.
"Bibi Dong! How dare you! You actually dared to kill the Pope!! Your crimes are unforgivable!!!"
"Speak! How do you want to die!!!!"
A Peerless Douluo's presence spread outward. Qian Daoliu was utterly cold, flames of anger flickering in his eyes as he stared fixedly at the evil presence below.
That terrifying presence instantly bore down on Bibi Dong!
"Damn it! This old bastard!! A Peerless Douluo's power is so strong!!"
Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically. The pressure forced her directly to one knee, leaving her in great discomfort.
"Your son ruined me, and now I've killed him! I have no power to resist you, so kill me!!"
Bibi Dong raised her head, her eyes cold and bloodshot, madness in them. Without the slightest fear of Qian Daoliu, she roared.
At worst, I'll die!
I've had my revenge anyway!
She also knew that with her current strength, she had no power to resist Qian Daoliu.
It would be quicker to let him kill her outright!
"You!!!!!!"
Qian Daoliu glared straight at Bibi Dong and raised a hand to point at her, but he didn't know what to say.
After all, his son had indeed been at fault first. It was all his fault for being unable to keep his lower half under control!
He had provoked this madwoman, and now look-he had played himself to death!
"I won't kill you. After all, you are Xue'er and Nuo'er's birth mother!"
"But! Nuo'er was very close to Qian Xunji. If he finds out that you killed his father, do you think he'll let you off? Given his personality, he'll surely torture you mercilessly. Even death will be a luxury you can only dream of!"
Qian Daoliu looked coldly at Bibi Dong. Rather than kill her, he spoke in anger.
"Qian Nuo..."
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted. That name now seemed to have become her nightmare.
That time, he had tortured her. He could have killed her, but he hadn't, and had even helped her recover.
That fellow was the real devil!
Now, hearing Qian Nuo's name, she felt fear in her very soul.
"Remember, Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji!"
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both shocked!
Bibi Dong was stunned as well.
Qian Daoliu was actually going to help her?
