After a single sword strike, Bibi Dong's vitality drained away at a rapid pace—her life had already reached its end.
The power of the Angel God and the power of the Rakshasa God inherently countered one another.
Not to mention that the Angel Holy Sword now burned with Qian Renxue's innate divine flame.
Let alone the fact that Bibi Dong had already lost much of her will to live—
Even at her peak, she would not have been able to withstand a strike like this.
At this moment, perhaps because the divine power had dissipated, or perhaps because she had been purified by holy power, Bibi Dong's consciousness instead became clear.
That man's low voice came from afar, echoing unmistakably in her ears.
"Bibi Dong, how pitiful you are.
"Heaven gave you peerless talent, yet did not give you an equally strong heart. It gave you a chance to escape the abyss, yet you insisted on sinking into it of your own accord.
"You clearly avenged your hatred, yet only knew how to indulge in the past, to drown in those ridiculous regrets. Other than Qian Xunji, has anyone in this world ever wronged you? Yet you wanted to drag everyone to be buried with you for the sake of your childish love.
"Even at the very end, the one you trusted most was merely that false illusion of a god in your heart, rather than the flesh and blood kin right before your eyes.
"Ending up like this is entirely your own doing."
Bibi Dong stared blankly in Su Cheng's direction.
"A false illusion… hehe…"
In that instant, she suddenly understood many things.
The hints urging her to kill the three Great Enshriners; the subtle, gradual increase in hostility between mother and daughter; the two Spirit Hall elders who had silently disappeared in the past two years; the strange behavior of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo; the layout that had begun more than ten years ago…
Perhaps even her very entry into Spirit Hall had been planned by that person from the start.
Watching Qian Renxue rush toward Su Cheng without hesitation, Bibi Dong could not help but let out a bitter smile.
"Xue'er… I hope my guess is wrong…"
"Teacher!"
Qian Renxue reached the edge of the square and knelt beside Su Cheng.
His aura was now even weaker, declining to the point where he was almost like a corpse.
This completely exceeded Qian Renxue's expectations.
Judging from the earlier situation, he should have been able to hold on for at least another hour.
"Xue'er…"
Looking at the peerlessly beautiful face before him, Su Cheng was slightly dazed.
Even with blood stains on her pale cheeks, her beauty was not diminished in the slightest—on the contrary, it carried an even more tragic and haunting charm.
Qian Renxue desperately gathered the remaining divine power in her body and began casting healing divine arts on him.
However, after burning her divine power in fierce battle, the energy within her body was now almost completely depleted. Even her physical body was on the verge of collapse, leaving her unable to squeeze out much more strength.
Her spiritual power had also been nearly exhausted in that final strike, making it extremely difficult for her to manipulate divine power now.
And the damage to the shattered body before her was so severe that even at her peak, she would likely have been powerless.
"What… should I do…"
Hearing her helpless murmur, Su Cheng lowered his eyes and remained silent.
After a moment, the small angel imprint on Qian Renxue's brow began to tremble slightly.
She was drawing upon the most fundamental Angel God power from the Angel God position!
It was not that she begrudged this godhood, but with Su Cheng's current condition, he simply could not withstand a greater burst of energy. Moreover, in her present state, she lacked the strength to control it.
Su Cheng stared blankly at the gently trembling angel imprint.
That tiny mark represented the core of Qian Renxue's power as the Angel God—the external manifestation of her godhood.
This, Su Cheng understood clearly.
He had never intended to accept the so-called godhood inheritances of the Douluo Continent, but he was extremely curious about the essence of this divine system.
When Qian Daoliu was still alive during the divine trials, he had no chance to study it in depth.
But after Qian Renxue became a god, he finally had an opportunity to observe it up close.
At this moment, within Su Cheng's sea of consciousness, there was likewise a tiny sword shadow rising and falling.
Sword Intent Entity!
This did not mean that his comprehension of the sword had reached a new height.
Rather, starting several years ago, Su Cheng had forged it day and night using a trace of true sword intent.
It contained all of his sword comprehension from this lifetime, as well as the extraordinary spiritual power he had accumulated over many years with the aid of medicinal substances.
Just moments ago, he had also burned his remaining spiritual power, soul power, and even his life force and bodily acupoints to empower this sword intent.
This was the reason his aura had declined so rapidly.
A move forged by condensing power in this way was naturally terrifying in strength—but also extremely impractical.
No one else would ever do something like this.
Because it was meaningless.
Under normal circumstances, such an attack would never hit anyone.
Unless the enemy was completely defenseless against him.
"Whoosh—"
The tiny sword shadow shot out from Su Cheng's brow, instantly piercing into the girl's eyes. In the blink of an eye, it reached the point where her divine core had condensed, then exploded.
The eyes were windows of the spirit—and also the easiest point through which the soul could be invaded.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's divine soul was withered, her spiritual power exhausted. At the same time, she was drawing power from her godhood to heal him, and she held no defenses against him whatsoever.
With a single strike, the tiny six-winged angel imprint on her brow—which had only been trembling faintly—began to shake violently. Moments later, it shattered into countless motes of light and dispersed.
The godhood shattered.
Su Cheng himself felt his vision darken, nearly dying on the spot from the backlash of the exploding sword intent.
[Main Quest · Fifth Ring basic requirement completed.Main Quest completed. You may disengage at any time within one hour.]
Qian Renxue trembled as she raised her right hand and touched her brow.
Her eyes stared dully at Su Cheng.
"Teacher… why…"
"Xue'er, in this life I lived for only one thing—destroying Spirit Hall. I taught you knowledge and helped you become a god, all for this single purpose."
Seeing no response from her, Su Cheng took out a signal flare from his soul tool and fired it into the air.
"I shattered your godhood imprint. Your life is not in danger—only, from this day on, there will no longer be an Angel God in this world."
After saying this, he stared blankly at the sky.
"吟—"
After a brief silence, the sound of a sword hum appeared over Spirit City, traveling from far to near.
At first it seemed to come from the horizon; in the next moment, it arrived beside Su Cheng.
"Cheng'er!"
The old man riding the sword saw Su Cheng's current state, and his expression changed drastically.
He rushed forward, then glanced at the numb-looking Qian Renxue.
The hand gripping his sword tightened slightly.
"Father, don't."
Su Cheng looked at the arriving Chen Xin and tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"What—what happened to you?!"
"Cough… Father, don't worry about me yet. Listen to me first."
How could Chen Xin not worry?
He immediately stepped forward, injecting soul power into him and probing his physical condition.
He had never known Su Cheng would push himself to this extent—this looked like someone already half-dead.
Su Cheng did not bother to stop him.
The signal flare he had just fired was meant for Chen Xin, and only Chen Xin had come.
At present, Chen Xin's cultivation had already reached the peak of level 97, not far from level 98. In terms of combat power alone, he could even rival an ordinary peak level-98 Title Douluo.
If nothing unexpected occurred, the remaining three Great Enshriners of the Enshrinement Hall, along with the Title Douluo–level elders, had already died at his hands.
As for anyone else, Su Cheng did not trust them, and he had instructed Chen Xin not to bring anyone along.
He still had matters to arrange.
Looking at the lifeless Qian Renxue, Su Cheng said softly, "Xue'er… heh, you probably don't want to hear me call you that anymore. Do you remember our bet from ten years ago?"
Qian Renxue raised her head in a daze.
"Promise me—live on properly. Worldly affairs flow like water… cough… your life is still long. Forget me, forget Bibi Dong, forget Spirit Hall."
He turned to look at Chen Xin. "Father, please take good care of her for me."
At this point, Chen Xin was already invincible on the continent. Even the people of the Clear Sky Sect would not be his match.
Moreover, having consumed immortal herbs, Chen Xin's martial soul had advanced another step. There was still room for future growth—perhaps he might even touch the threshold of a level-99 Limit Douluo.
With his protection, even if Qian Renxue had fallen to the level of an ordinary soul master, she could still live out the rest of her life in peace.
Su Cheng trusted Chen Xin's character completely.
Qian Renxue looked at Su Cheng, a bloody light flashing in her eyes. "How could I forget… how could I… forget…"
"Then… cough, cough… live on well, and spend the rest of your life hating me to your heart's content. Father, please… cough… take care of her."
"..." Chen Xin met Su Cheng's earnest gaze and nodded. "I understand."
He had already sensed it countless times with his soul power.
This body was now like burnt-out firewood—there was not the slightest trace of vitality left.
Hearing Chen Xin's response, Su Cheng closed his eyes, and darkness enveloped his vision.
"..."
At that moment, golden light suddenly appeared in Qian Renxue's hand—it was her last remaining divine power.
But this trace of divine power was meant to repair the body. Once it was exhausted, let alone being a soul master, she might not even be able to live as an ordinary person.
Chen Xin's expression changed drastically. He did not know what she intended to do.
He wanted to stop her, yet feared injuring her. After hesitating briefly, he still did not act rashly.
Qian Renxue seemed completely unaware of his reaction. The golden light in her hand grew ever brighter.
"Heh… you make it sound so easy… worldly affairs flow like water…"
She swung her hand down.
Golden light pierced into her chest.
"You—"
Chen Xin stared at Qian Renxue in horror.
As her life rapidly slipped away, Qian Renxue gazed at Su Cheng's body, which had already lost all signs of life.
"A world without you… is not the human world."
This life of mine… is truly laughable.
"Foolish child…"
Looking at the two lifeless bodies before him, Chen Xin raised his head and sighed.
