Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

puff...

A large mouthful of blood spurted onto the ground.

Apart from the internal injuries he sustained before he was six years old, this was the most serious injury he had ever suffered in over ten years.

A punch landed on his back, followed by a slam into a rock—a double blow. It seemed the Ghost Douluo had no intention of letting him live.

"No..." Bibi Dong shouted, trying to save Ning Xingchen, but Chrysanthemum Douluo blocked her way.

Ghost Douluo said in a low voice, "This kid has a good physique. An ordinary Soul Saint would be crippled if he didn't die from this hit."

"Let him go, and I'll go back with you," Bibi Dong said sternly.

"That's right, our mission is only for you, as for him, forget about him." Ghost Douluo then put Ning Xingchen down.

"You can't go back with them." Ning Xingchen was unwilling. He could deal with Soul Douluo, but he couldn't handle the two Title Douluo right now.

"Thank you for your company in the City of Slaughter, thank you!" Bibi Dong said before leaving with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Then, Bibi Dong's last telepathic message echoed in Ning Xingchen's mind.

"Star, thank you for your company in the City of Slaughter. I might have died long ago without you. Thank you! They've let you go for now. You should leave quickly, or they might return."

"And...you, forget about me!"

Bibi Dong already knew what would happen to her if she went back this time; Qian Xunji would definitely not let her go.

Even if it meant death, she couldn't let anything happen to Ning Xingchen.

For some reason, Ning Xingchen felt a deep pain in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to become strong, so that no one could control his destiny and no one could take away what he wanted.

However, at that moment, the starlight suddenly gathered and fell into Ning Xingchen's body.

Kenshin is the heart that strives to become stronger!

I've never had such a strong desire to become stronger.

Ning Xingchen once said that swordsmanship is about becoming stronger and protecting, but this was only a theoretical answer, based on the understanding of a prophet who knows Douluo Continent.

However, although he had said it, he had not truly reached that level yet, so Kenshin had never comprehended it.

A heart set on becoming stronger finally allowed him to fully comprehend the sword heart at this moment! The Starry Sword Heart was formed, completing the second stage of Starry Sword Body cultivation.

Wiping away his tears, Ning Xingchen looked in the direction Bibi Dong had left and whispered, "Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Heavenly Wolf Douluo, Haotian Sect, you wait, sooner or later I will make you pay the price."

Ning Xingchen took out a healing pill from his soul tool and swallowed it. Then, he rode the Star Sword and quickly headed towards Tian Dou City.

His danger is not over yet. Just as Bibi Dong said, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have no intention of letting him go.

After all, they came from the City of Slaughter, and each of them has achieved great things in history. They will definitely be the biggest threat to the Spirit Hall in the future.

After Ning Xingchen left for a while, Ghost Douluo returned as expected.

However, by this time Ning Xingchen had already flown dozens of kilometers away, but he had already left a mark on Ning Xingchen.

After confirming the situation, Ghost Douluo chased after Ning Xingchen in the direction he had flown off.

Chapter 83 Ning Xingchen Returns! What will become of Bibi Dong?

Ning Xingchen rushed back to the sect. Perhaps it was because it was nighttime, and the stars in the sky were exceptionally bright, constantly replenishing his energy.

During his year and a half in the Killing City, he had not replenished his Star Power, and now his body was like an empty container, allowing Star Power to be poured into it at will.

With the addition of the Starry Sword Heart, his absorption speed reached an unprecedented level.

Ning Xingchen, in flight, streaked across the sky like a bright shooting star.

In terms of flight speed, even Ghost Douluo is somewhat behind, not to mention that he has no flight skills.

Moreover, even with his powerful soul force, he was not fast when flying in the air, and the energy consumption was extremely high.

So he could only chase after them on the ground, but the distance between them continued to widen.

"Impossible! This kid should be seriously injured, how could he run so fast?" Ghost Douluo asked in confusion.

Little did he know that he had underestimated Ning Xingchen's physical strength. In addition, he had taken two healing pills in a row, so this injury did not affect his ability to fly on his sword at all.

After comprehending the Starry Sword Heart, Ning Xingchen became more adept at controlling the Starry Sword, and thus his speed increased significantly.

Ghost Douluo's journey was also affected by the terrain, so the distance between the two of them grew larger and larger.

An hour later, Ghost Douluo discovered that he could no longer sense Ning Xingchen's presence.

The markings he made also had a distance limit; they couldn't be detected beyond that distance.

"Fine, very well, I'll remember you." Ghost Douluo had no choice but to return the way he came.

Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo was guarding Bibi Dong as they slowly made their way, while also waiting for Ghost Douluo's return.

Bibi Dong's soul power has been completely sealed by Chrysanthemum Douluo, and she has lost the ability to resist.

"Where is Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo?" Bibi Dong asked.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Old Ghost has other matters to attend to and will be back in a while."

Bibi Dong said coldly, "If he dies, I will definitely not spare you."

However, Bibi Dong did not respond to Chrysanthemum Douluo, and in any case, she did not admit that they were the ones who killed him.

"Holy Maiden, if you go back and apologize to His Holiness the Pope, he might forgive you, and you will still be the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall."

Although he still refers to Bibi Dong as the Holy Maiden, the Spirit Hall has actually stripped her of that title.

“Hmph…” Bibi Dong said coldly, without saying anything more. All she could think about was Ning Xingchen.

Xingchen, you must leave quickly, and never come looking for me again. The Spirit Hall is not something you can fight against.

He knew the Spirit Hall's strength better than anyone else. Even if Ning Xingchen was exceptionally talented, it might take him decades or even centuries to reach the level required to confront the Spirit Hall.

She didn't even know if she would live to see that time, she just hoped that Ning Xingchen wouldn't sacrifice himself for her.

About an hour and a half later.

Bibi Dong was completely relieved after overhearing a conversation outside.

Because Ghost Douluo came back and said that the kid had escaped.

……

Three days later!

The Papal Palace of Wuhun City!

Pope Qian Xunji stood with his hands behind his back, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to his left and right below him.

Below the papacy, there is another position.

This spot wasn't there before, but today there is one, and an exceptionally beautiful woman is sitting there.

The woman was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her looks and figure were in no way inferior to Bibi Dong's, and her temperament was also top-notch.

“It’s you?” Bibi Dong recognized the woman on the platform at a glance.

"Sister Dong'er, you didn't expect to be sitting in this seat today, did you?" the woman said with a light laugh.

The woman's name was Liu Qingyan. She was almost taken as a disciple by Qian Xunji in her early years. She possessed innate level nine soul power, but Qian Xunji changed his mind because of her appearance.

Therefore, this woman harbored resentment towards Bibi Dong in Wuhun City, but unfortunately, Bibi Dong, being a holy maiden, never had the opportunity to act.

It wasn't until Bibi Dong disappeared this time that she got her chance and successfully climbed into Pope Qian Xunji's bed.

After calling out to Bibi Dong, Liu Qingyan deliberately stuck out her belly.

It looks like she's been pregnant for quite some time.

The fact that she was sitting in that position meant that Bibi Dong knew she was carrying Qian Xunji's child.

Has Qian Xunji been replaced?

Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Now that someone had completed this task, wouldn't she be free?

"Dong'er," Qian Xunji finally spoke.

"Teacher!" Bibi Dong still bowed.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Qianxun said in a low voice.

“Teacher, what wrong have I done?” Bibi Dong retorted.

"Since you don't understand, then you should think about it carefully."

"Guards, lock Bibi Dong up until she confesses her mistakes," Qian Xunji ordered. He didn't ask any more questions, or rather, there was no need to.

The moment Bibi Dong fled, the bond between them had completely vanished.

Bibi Dong did not respond, but simply let the others take her away.

At least for now, the outcome is better than she expected.

She had already decided to die, but she would seize any chance to live a normal life.

After Bibi Dong left, Liu Qingyan came to Qian Xunji's side and said, "Your Majesty, why did you execute Bibi Dong? She betrayed you."

Qian Xun said quickly, "Qingyan, Bibi Dong is my disciple after all. Keeping her might still be useful. She has good talent. As long as she admits her mistakes and serves my Spirit Hall well, it's not impossible to let her go."

"But you, you're due to give birth in less than a month. You should be resting well while pregnant with twins," Qian Xunji said, glancing at Liu Qingyan's belly.

He then ordered someone to take her down to rest. He didn't care about Liu Qingyan; the key was the Qian family bloodline in her womb.

After everyone left, Qian Xunji also came to the secret room where Bibi Dong was imprisoned and looked inside.

He thought to himself: I'll lock you up for six years first. If Qingyan's child isn't talented enough after six years, then I'll have no choice but to come looking for you.

In Qian Xunji's eyes, Bibi Dong is still the first choice to continue the Qian family bloodline.

She used to be the first choice, but now that Liu Qingyan is pregnant with two children, that's enough. It's not about the quantity of bloodlines, but the quality.

If the talent test is good enough, then Bibi Dong will no longer be necessary.

If he lacks talent, then Bibi Dong still has value.

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji ordered the guards, "She is, after all, my disciple. You all need to serve her well. As long as she doesn't leave this room, you must fulfill all her reasonable requests."

"Your subordinate obeys!"
