"Xiaogang is not trash!"
Bibi Dong's breathing became rapid. She couldn't accept those words and turned to look at Gui Mei.
"Damn it, I should've never let you come!"
Her expression was grim. She had treated Gui Mei so well all these years, yet after spending only a short time with Xue Tianyu, he had already switched sides.
'This is unbearable.'
"It doesn't matter anymore. Now, I belong to Master Xue Tianyu." Gui Mei sneered at Bibi Dong. "As for you, get lost."
"You!"
Bibi Dong looked at Gui Mei, her heart completely sinking.
Traitor!
Her face turned pale. The feeling of being betrayed by the person she trusted the most made her heart ache as if it were being torn apart.
So many resources!
She had invested an enormous amount into nurturing Gui Mei!
Not only that, but after so many years, Gui Mei and Yue Guan had long become her most important subordinates. Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered to pay any price to save him.
But now, everything had gone completely against her expectations.
The person she desperately wanted to save had turned his back on her!
And was even mocking her right to her face!
All those years of effort, completely wasted!
It felt like her hard work had been fed to a dog!
Bibi Dong felt an unbearable pain in her chest.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hate.
A murderous intent suddenly rose within her.
'Since the person I nurtured won't serve me, then he won't serve my enemies either!'
Bibi Dong's eyes locked onto Gui Mei, her aura surging violently.
'I might not be able to kill Xue Tianyu and his people, but I can at least kill you, Gui Douluo!'
She raised her hand, and a ball of highly corrosive purple-green energy shot straight toward Gui Mei's forehead.
Gui Mei could only suffer in silence.
Seeing Bibi Dong's killing intent, he simply closed his eyes.
'Maybe dying like this isn't so bad. At least I won't have to endure this torment anymore.'
However…
Even after waiting for what felt like an eternity, the expected pain never came.
Confused, Gui Mei opened his eyes—only to see Xue Tianyu standing in front of him, having completely frozen Bibi Dong's attack.
"You want to kill him?"
Bibi Dong turned to Xue Tianyu, her face contorted with hatred.
"He's someone I raised. If I want to kill him, I will! You have no right to stop me!"
"No right?" Xue Tianyu chuckled. "Only those with power have the right to speak. You can't even defeat me—what gives you the right to talk about 'qualifications'?"
"The more you want to kill him, the more I want to keep him alive."
"I imagine Ghost Douluo has handled quite a few unspeakable tasks for you. I'll be happy to hear all about them."
Bibi Dong's face darkened.
She was completely stuck.
She couldn't kill the traitor.
Qian Daoliu was occupied and couldn't intervene.
And in front of her, that damnable Xue Tianyu was standing there with a mocking smile.
It was unbearable!
"You!!!"
Bibi Dong clenched her teeth so hard they nearly cracked.
"That Yu Xiaogang… I've always found him irritating. How about I find a chance to kill him? Right in front of you." Xue Tianyu smirked.
"You wouldn't dare!!!"
Bibi Dong instantly exploded in fury.
Seeing this reaction, Xue Tianyu found it laughable.
Even if Qian Renxue were in danger, Bibi Dong wouldn't react this strongly.
But the moment Yu Xiaogang was mentioned, she couldn't control herself.
'Your own daughter isn't as important as that man?'
Xue Tianyu didn't say it out loud, but in his heart, he knew—killing Yu Xiaogang wasn't enough. The real revenge would be making Bibi Dong watch him die, powerless to stop it.
…
At the same time.
Boom! Boom!
Qian Daoliu's expression darkened as he slashed a golden energy blade forward.
The blade shot toward Di Tian at high speed.
However, a surge of thick, black mist erupted from Di Tian's body.
The moment the energy blade entered the mist, it was completely absorbed and vanished.
When the black mist dispersed, Di Tian stood there unharmed.
"The so-called strongest human… is only so much."
Di Tian chuckled. "You can't even break through my defenses. How are you supposed to defeat me and kill Xiong Jun?"
"Just a mere soul beast, don't be so arrogant."
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath.
He had wanted to resolve this quickly and take Bibi Dong away.
After all, his primary objective was to find his grandson.
So he hadn't been fully committed to the fight before.
But now, he understood something.
If he didn't get serious, he might not even be able to leave.
Qian Daoliu's six wings spread wide, and his figure soared into the sky.
At the same time, a powerful divine angelic aura surged around him.
"Good, let's see what tricks you can pull."
Di Tian, ensuring that Xiong Jun was safe, also ascended into the sky.
The two hovered there, locked in a fierce standoff.
"Angel… Holy Judgment!"
Qian Daoliu's eyes shone like torches, and his vast soul power surged into the sword in his hand.
The golden blade in his grip erupted with an overwhelming brilliance.
It shone like a miniature sun.
Behind Qian Daoliu, a massive angelic phantom appeared, mirroring his movements.
The phantom also held a golden sword—its energy even more terrifying.
Just its mere existence caused the space around them to tremble.
The phantom merged with Qian Daoliu, its oppressive aura filling the skies.
Without a hint of emotion on his face, Qian Daoliu slid his sword forward.
The giant angelic phantom copied his movements.
And in the next instant, the phantom's golden sword exploded with radiant light.
A single slash!
The golden energy blade streaked through the sky, dragging a dazzling tail of light as it charged toward Di Tian.
Its overwhelming energy locked down every possible escape route.
This attack forced Di Tian into a direct confrontation!
But Di Tian never planned to run.
A black mist surged around him, his immense dark soul power erupting.
"Black Dragon Roar!"
Faced with the enormous golden sword, he let out a furious roar.
The black mist behind him rapidly condensed into a massive dragon's head.
Roar!
The dragon's eyes gleamed with eerie red light as it opened its mouth and spat a torrent of black flames.
The dark flames shot straight toward the golden energy blade.
Zzzzzzzz!
The two clashing energies screeched against each other, their opposing natures—angelic purification and dark devouring—violently colliding.
Though Qian Daoliu's blade was powerful, it had no follow-up.
Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Roar was continuous.
Before long, the golden blade began to shrink, its energy being consumed.
Just as it was about to vanish entirely, Qian Daoliu flicked his sword, then pointed it forward.
"Holy Light Impact!"
Boom!
A powerful golden beam of light shot toward the dragon's head.
The black dragon head, almost as if sentient, instantly changed targets and intercepted the beam.
The two beams of energy clashed in midair, causing the entire Sunset Forest to tremble.
And the weakened golden sword, now unobstructed, continued flying toward Di Tian.
Di Tian didn't even look at it.
He casually waved a hand, sending out a burst of dark energy from the side—knocking the golden blade off course.
Boom!!!!
A massive explosion echoed through the forest.
