Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 44 I Am Also a Pawn (Please Read On)

Su Cheng's condition at this moment is exceptionally poor.

The massive blade wound on his chest that had almost severed him in half had already completely extinguished his will to live.

However, he had just deliberately avoided vital points that would have been fatal on the spot. With his medical skills, he could still keep him alive for a few days.

But what's even more terrifying is the evil divine power that keeps eroding the body.

Even though this divine power was now like water without a source, it was still beyond the capacity of an ordinary soul master like him to withstand.

If it weren't for that sacred, 100,000-year-old soul bone still being used, he would already be a corpse.

"Less than two hours left to live..."

Su Cheng accurately assessed his current physical condition.

He realized he had underestimated the power of the gods.

Yes, an ordinary mortal soul master, if he hadn't been prepared to destroy his soul bone and temporarily reach the threshold of godhood, wouldn't have been able to even keep up with the two people's movements, let alone block their attacks.

Even the fact that Su Cheng was able to block this attack was because he had prepared in advance.

He had long suspected Bibi Dong's backup plan.

Those blade shadows are very strange.

Although Qian Renxue was far superior to him in terms of raw strength, she lacked a keen sense of the battlefield. Her journey had been too smooth, and she had too little combat experience. Her combat wisdom was far inferior to that of Bibi Dong, who was nearly twice her age.

On the contrary, Su Cheng reacted even faster.

Su Cheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly strange smile. "It's really cold."

It wasn't just the chill of deep winter; the erosion by the evil divine power made him shiver slightly from the bone-deep cold.

"Teacher..." Qian Renxue, who had arrived silently, stared blankly at the broken body in front of her.

His upper body was almost severed in two, but was stitched back together by thin energy threads, barely stopping the gushing blood.

The right leg had disappeared, with a faint golden light emanating from its base, tug-of-war with the swirling purple aura spreading across its body.

His face was covered in dust and blood, and he kept coughing up purplish-black blood.

At this moment, Su Cheng was no longer as calm and composed as before; he looked extremely disheveled.

Her tears finally streamed down her face, and she knelt down, gently stroking the other person's cheek with her hand.

A faint red glow appeared in the depths of his eyes, which was still clearly visible even in the dazzling golden light.

"Cough, Xiaoxue..." Su Cheng supported himself on the ground with his fingers, barely managing to sit up straight, and glanced at the figure in the distance.

Bibi Dong remained standing in the same spot, without making a move.

"Teacher, why...?"

"Ahem, listen to me first... use your mental power, her weakness... ahem..."

"Don't say anything, I'll save you first."

Qian Renxue spoke with a sob in her voice, golden light gathering in her hand.

At the same time, faint flames ignited on her body.

At this moment, she actually began to burn her divine power!

"Quiet, Xiaoxue, listen to me first..."

Qian Renxue ignored his words and poured angelic power into his body without regard for anything else.

However, a moment later he discovered that his divine power could not be integrated at all.

At the same time, sword shadows appeared around Su Cheng's body, blocking the gentle healing power released by Qian Renxue.

If she were to force her way through this barrier to treat him, it would only worsen his injuries and hasten his death.

"teacher?!"

Qian Renxue looked up in surprise at Su Cheng.

"It's no use. I know what I'm doing. Don't waste your time."

Su Cheng said calmly, looking directly into Qian Renxue's eyes.

"Now... cough..." As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood that glowed with a purplish-black light, mixed with a strong Rakshasa divine power, which hissed as it hit the ground.

"Can you listen to me now?"

"..."

"I was mistaken. That's not the Asura God, it's the Rakshasa God. And she's not Bibi Dong anymore. Her mind has long been corrupted by those evil wills. Mental strength... cough... mental strength is her weakness, but your strength."

"Rakshasa..." Upon hearing this name, Qian Renxue instinctively felt a wave of disgust, as if the two were natural enemies.

"Yes, Rakshasa, the most evil deity. Keeping her alive is a scourge to the whole world. Xue'er, go and kill Bibi Dong. She's gone mad. Don't show any mercy; be ruthless."

He stared at Qian Renxue, "Xiaoxue, kill her!"

Upon hearing these words, the red light in Qian Renxue's eyes instantly intensified several times, almost overshadowing the original golden light.

She had been suppressing her grief, anger, and murderous intent, but her worries about Su Cheng had overshadowed them.

Now, having heard his own assertion, these emotions erupted instantly.

Su Cheng's current state, in particular, almost drove her to the brink of madness.

My father is dead, my grandfather is dead, and now even my most important teacher may be dying.

All of this is because of that Rakshasa god!

"That's not Bibi Dong..."

"brush--"

Flames reignited on the angel's holy sword.

This time, however, the firelight was no longer a dazzling gold, but rather mixed with a faint scent of blood.

"cough……"

Seeing Qian Renxue return to the battlefield, Su Cheng coughed up another mouthful of blood.

He really won't live much longer.

He was only able to survive thanks to the energy in his 100,000-year-old soul bone and his own medical skills.

But Su Cheng had nothing to regret.

As the weak, it's not that easy to manipulate the strong.

No matter how cold and hostile the relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong may be, how could the blood ties between mother and son be easily severed?

He doesn't personally intervene; regardless of who wins or loses, neither of them will lose their lives.

Main quest, fourth stage, completed.

Task Reward: Final settlement bonus increased by 20%.

Main Quest - Fifth Stage: The Curtain Falls

Mission objective: Kill or drive out more than 80% of the Spirit Hall's combat power.

Task Rewards: Final bonus calculated based on overall completion rate.

Su Cheng paid no attention to the changes in the mission's progress.

He has exhausted all his efforts to get to this point; he has done everything in his power.

To balance the power of two god-level beings, to divide the fighting strength of the Spirit Hall members, and to secretly orchestrate the deaths of three top experts from the Hall of Worship...

He accomplished all of this almost entirely on his own.

But now, it was finally his turn to be caught in the game.

If they aren't forced into a life-or-death battle today, this confrontation could actually become a catalyst for the mother and daughter to resolve their differences.

All emotions are worn down by time, including love and hatred.

Not to mention, there's also the channel of venting emotions through combat.

If he misses this opportunity, he will never have the room to maneuver again.

Better to lose a piece than to lose the initiative.

No chess player is willing to sacrifice any of their pieces.

However, no piece is immune to sacrifice.

Including himself.
