Brutalized

Inside Bibi Dong's bedchamber in the Pope's Hall,

Bibi Dong herself sat cross-legged in a suitable spot, practicing the Rakshasa Soul Power Guidance Method she had just obtained from the Rakshasa Trials.

It was also his reward for completing the First Trial.

The Rakshasa Soul Power Guidance Method was a god-tier guidance method.

It could accelerate the growth of her Soul Power, and its speed of absorption and refinement was beyond what the guidance method she had previously practiced could offer her.

She now needed to calm down and bring together everything she had learned so far, allowing herself to enter a state of self-forgetfulness.

"Once this matter is settled, I'll have someone hunt down my Ninth Soul Ring. As it happens, there's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast I've had my eye on in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, and an icy, chilling gleam flashed through them.

She had learned of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit long ago and had kept an eye on it ever since.

She had originally planned to absorb the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor as her Ninth Soul Ring.

But unexpectedly, the Blue Silver Emperor had sacrificed herself.

Bibi Dong could only lament the loss inwardly.

Just then, however, she suddenly sensed a force of utterly evil energy rapidly rising around the room.

This utterly evil energy had surpassed her and crushed her.

Bibi Dong's expression changed, and a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.

Because she knew this presence all too well. Who else could it belong to but Qian Nuo, the son she called a bastard?

He was the culprit who had brutalized her last time.

At the thought of what had happened, the memories buried in her mind instantly resurfaced.

Her delicate body shuddered involuntarily.

Suddenly sensing something, she snapped her gaze toward the entrance to the bedchamber.

With a bang, the door was smashed open by a powerful force.

The figure standing in the doorway was the very one she least wanted to see.

And the sounds here could not possibly travel outside.

Because the evil energy shrouding the bedchamber was called a Curtain!

In the world of Jujutsu, Curtains were used frequently. Nothing that happened inside one could spread beyond it, and it also served to block, deceive, and conceal.

"Bastard, what are you doing here!?" Bibi Dong immediately stood and released her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul, her eyes narrowing as a cold gleam flickered in them.

Having experienced firsthand how formidable he was, she no longer dared underestimate him.

Qian Nuo's voice was indifferent. "Wretched mother, Silly Xue found out today that her father was dead. She cried terribly."

"So what? His death had nothing to do with me! Tang Hao killed him!" A guilty flicker passed through Bibi Dong's eyes, but she still insisted that Tang Hao had killed Qian Xunji and that it had nothing to do with him. Her voice was somewhat tense.

"I never said you killed him. Why are you so nervous? Could it be that you really did kill Qian Xunji, and the story outside about Tang Hao killing him is just a smokescreen to fool everyone?"

Qian Nuo stood with his hands in his pockets, his cold, utterly emotionless eyes fixed on the woman before him.

"What nonsense are you spouting!?"

"You can't just say things like that! I'm not even a Titled Douluo. How could I possibly kill one? What would a child like you know!?"

"You can't say such things recklessly. If you claim I killed Qian Xunji, you need to produce evidence, at the very least!"

"Otherwise, get out of here, bastard! I don't want to see you!"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and spoke with full confidence.

"The truth? Evidence?"

"I'd say the truth is that Qian Daoliu joined forces with you to deceive the whole world!"

Qian Nuo raised a hand and pointed at Bibi Dong, speaking coldly.

"What do you mean?" Bibi Dong's pupils shrank, and panic stirred in her heart, but she forced it down. Perhaps he was only trying to bluff her.

Qian Nuo watched Bibi Dong coldly and slowly uttered the words: "The one who really killed Qian Xunji wasn't Tang Hao, but you, Bibi Dong! Isn't that right!?"

"Nonsense! Lies meant to mislead people!!"

"You can eat whatever you like, but you can't say whatever you like!"

"The consequences of saying the wrong thing are very serious!"

Terror appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, along with disbelief.

She looked like a murderer who had hidden her crime well, only to be exposed.

She still wanted to try to struggle.

Unfortunately, it was of no use whatsoever.

"Still denying it!?"

"Qian Xunji's presence is on you!!"

"You can fool the whole world, but you can't fool me!!"

"Wretched mother! Are you ready to face my wrath?"

"I promised Silly Xue I'd slaughter you!"

The moment Qian Nuo's cold voice fell, his figure vanished from where he stood, charging straight at Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically. Cold sweat streamed down her face, her delicate body trembled, and she could no longer hide her fear.

The lie she and Qian Daoliu had told had fooled the whole world, yet it had failed to fool a child!

She knew how terrifying Qian Nuo was and did not dare be careless. She decisively summoned her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul Avatar.

She then used her fourth Soul Skill, Thorn Spider Armor, and her fifth Soul Skill, Thousand Blades, Ten Thousand Shields.

With those two Soul Skills, she instantly boosted her defenses.

She also activated her eighth Soul Skill, Spider Emperor Clone, splitting into two.

At the same time, she unleashed her sixth Soul Skill, Blood-Sucking Spider Thorn, attacking the oncoming Qian Nuo.

Faced with the two attacks stabbing toward him,

Qian Nuo smiled disdainfully and raised both hands to catch them.

Once again, he caught the blades barehanded.

Evil power instantly enveloped the Blood-Sucking Spider Thorns. A violent surge of power shook them and shattered them at once.

"Death Spider Emperor Binding Vow!"

Bibi Dong's expression changed, and she immediately retreated. Her Martial Soul Avatar spat out an enormous black spiderweb, which flew toward Qian Nuo to capture him.

In her Martial Soul Avatar state, she had also become a spider with several legs, an ugly monster.

As she was now, there was no way to associate the once-beautiful Bibi Dong with the Bibi Dong of the present.

She was truly far too ugly.

A cloud of black Qi rose from Qian Nuo's body.

It formed a gigantic hand that crushed the incoming web.

Bibi Dong's expression grew grave.

At that moment, Qian Nuo became an afterimage and appeared before Bibi Dong in an instant. As her pupils contracted and she tried to react,

Qian Nuo's fist struck the shield and armor. The two objects were as flimsy as tofu skin, and his fist punched straight through them.

Bang!!!!!

Puchi!!!

His fist went straight through Bibi Dong's abdomen.

"Pfft!!"

Bibi Dong spat out a mouthful of blood, her face haggard as blood sprayed from her abdomen.

Qian Nuo showed no mercy.

His fists rained wildly and rapidly down on Bibi Dong's body like machine-gun fire.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!

"Aaaagh!!!!!"

Bibi Dong's body was covered in dents and bulges, blood flying everywhere. The sight was too gruesome to bear.

Her meridians and bones were all broken, and her arms and legs were snapped. It was utterly brutal.

She screamed and roared like a madwoman.

Bibi Dong was hung on a cross, covered in blood and gasping for breath. She was fully conscious, and even losing consciousness was a luxury beyond her reach.

The pain was truly unbearable.

She could not resist at all.

That was the gap in their absolute strength.

Terror-Qian Nuo's terror-was forcibly branded into her soul.
