That Is Not My Sister But Bibi Dong?!

"Such a petty trick!"

Seeing Qian Renxue's movements, Qian Gu Shizhen was full of disdain.

His actions did not slow down at all, and the Evil Dragon Staff struck directly toward Qian Renxue's chest.

A third of a second later.

There was a loud boom.

The soul techniques of the two clashed, producing a deafening sound.

Qian Renxue's sixth soul skill, Angel's Roar, hit Qian Gu Shizhen directly.

However, it only caused him to pause briefly.

Then, he continued to attack Qian Renxue.

Using the momentary pause, Qian Renxue slightly shifted her body, and the Angel's Sword formed by her fifth soul skill aimed straight at Qian Gu Shizhen's abdomen.

In the next instant, Qian Renxue suddenly felt a heavy sensation on her shoulder—without a doubt, she had been struck.

The force of a thousand pounds from the Evil Dragon Staff smashed into her body.

Bright red blood instantly stained Qian Renxue's right shoulder.

She could feel that not only was her shoulder injured, but even the bones within had been shattered by the blow.

But Qian Gu Shizhen was not doing well either. Before attacking, he had secretly applied a defensive soul skill to himself.

He never expected that Qian Renxue's Divine Sword would be so powerful.

The defensive soul skill did nothing to protect him.

After breaking through his defense, the Divine Sword pierced into his abdomen.

Fortunately, he dodged in time, and the destructive power of the True Flame carried by the sword did not harm his internal organs.

Moreover, with other evil soul masters constantly transferring Blood Fiend Qi to him, his strength was almost unaffected.

But for Qian Renxue, it was different. Losing an arm had cut her combat power by more than half.

Enduring the pain in his abdomen, Qian Gu Shizhen raised the Evil Dragon Staff in his hand again and sneered contemptuously:

"What a pity! You were one step too slow!"

Qian Renxue glared coldly at Qian Gu Shizhen.

She said nothing.

Forcing herself to concentrate again, she used her left hand to summon her fifth soul skill, Divine Sword.

But this time, the color of the Divine Sword was noticeably paler than before.

This was due to the dwindling soul power in her Dantian.

Qian Gu Shizhen noticed this.

He knew that if he attacked again, even if he couldn't kill Qian Renxue, he could drain her remaining soul power.

"Die!"

Qian Gu Shizhen thrust the Coiling Dragon Staff straight toward her.

On a distant boat.

Ye Tian was still observing the battle through a telescope.

When he saw Qian Renxue's shoulder covered in blood, he couldn't help but frown.

After all, she was supposed to be one of the future pillars of combat strength on the Douluo Continent.

Why was she struggling so much?

He had originally thought Qian Renxue could resolve the fight on her own, but now it seemed impossible.

Ye Tian waved his hand and instructed the commander of the Polaris Squad next to him, "Send in our people."

"Yes, sir!"

Following the command, the officer took out a signal flare from his belt and fired it into the sky.

In fact, before the battle between Qian Renxue and Qian Gu Shizhen had begun, soldiers had already been stealthily positioned along the island's coastline, hidden underwater.

As soon as the flare was launched, members of the Polaris Squad immediately entered combat mode.

They surfaced from beneath the water and launched a sudden attack on the island.

They first targeted the underlings in Qian Gu Shizhen's camp.

The weakest members of the Polaris Squad were all Soul Sages. Even though only five members landed on Soro Island, in terms of pure soul master power alone, Qian Gu Shizhen was bound to lose.

Of course, after Ye Tian's rigorous training, every member of the Polaris Squad was an expert in stealth.

They sought quick kills and had no interest in honorable combat.

As soon as they landed, they swiftly opened fire.

The minions behind Qian Gu Shizhen fell like wheat before a sickle.

Feeling the Blood Fiend Formation rapidly disintegrating, Qian Gu Shizhen immediately became alarmed.

Then he was stunned.

In an instant, all his underlings were dead.

And they had all died in the same way, suffering an irreversible trauma.

This immediately reminded Qian Gu Shizhen of the murder case that occurred a month and a half ago in East Sea City.

In one night, the four great families of East Sea City had been completely wiped out.

They died in the same way.

"Who's there?"

Qian Gu Shizhen, now as skittish as a startled bird, looked around frantically, forgetting all about killing Qian Renxue.

When his eyes focused on the coastline, he spotted five figures dressed in black uniforms with matching tanks on their backs.

These five black-clad individuals were holding some kind of special iron weapon.

Although he had never seen it before, a deep sense of danger made Qian Gu Shizhen realize that whatever those iron weapons were, they were top-tier hidden weapons!

They could kill without leaving a trace!

Who are these people?

Qian Gu Shizhen's heart pounded in fear.

How did they get here?

Could they be the personal guards of Xue Qinghe?

As this thought crossed his mind, a chill ran down Qian Gu Shizhen's spine.

He finally understood something.

As the heir to the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe would naturally have experts protecting him!

"I underestimated you!" Qian Gu Shizhen hysterically shouted at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered in confusion. What was he talking about?

In truth, she was also shocked to see Qian Gu Shizhen's minions fall.

However, due to the backlash from forcing the use of True Flame and her severe injuries, her vision was already starting to blur.

She could only make out a few blurry figures rushing toward her from the coastline, unable to sense anything else.

Qian Gu Shizhen, now nearly crazed, completely ignored Qian Renxue's expression.

He ranted madly: "But you also underestimated me!"

"For the great cause of my family, what does it matter if I die?"

With that, Qian Gu Shizhen raised the Evil Dragon Staff one last time.

He bit through the tip of his tongue, sucking in a mouthful of his own vital blood and swallowing it.

The moment the vital blood entered his stomach, it transformed into a surging Blood Fiend Qi, pushing his strength to its peak.

At this moment, even without the Blood Fiend Formation, he could still unleash the power of a Soul Douluo.

His intention was clear: he would die along with Xue Qinghe.

As long as Xue Qinghe died, war on the continent would become inevitable!

Even though he wouldn't live to enjoy the future glory, his family would be revered because of him!

"Die, Xue Qinghe!"

He refused to believe that, standing so close to Xue Qinghe, he wouldn't be able to kill him before the enemy's hidden weapons could reach him!

However, just as Qian Gu Shizhen was about to land his final blow on Xue Qinghe, his chest was riddled with bullets.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Due to the reflexes of his nervous system, Qian Gu Shizhen's hand trembled uncontrollably.

His eyes were filled with shock.

He muttered:

"…It was I who was one step too slow..."

Then, he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Seeing Qian Gu Shizhen dead, the members of the Polaris Squad all breathed a sigh of relief.

They had almost failed the mission!

"What about the other target?" one squad member asked.

Another replied:

"The target is potentially dangerous. Use tranquilizer darts and drag her away."

"Got it."
