Chapter 352: Bibi Dong's Regret

Although slaying a Title Douluo requires consuming the Silver Dragon Spear's own power, which is to say, her power.

But if it were only to exchange a single blow, Qin Jian could barely manage it as well, provided he suffered the damage of one year's worth of Spirit power.

"Why do you insist on not using my power?"

The girl's voice entered the depths of his heart, clearly carrying a hint of confusion and reproach: "Your own Spirit power is currently over-exhausted; if you use the Silver Dragon Spear again in the future, you won't be able to for two years, otherwise there will be a risk of your Spirit collapsing..."

"Because I am afraid of being too reliant on you, to the point where I won't even have the standing to influence your position in the future..."

Qin Jian said silently: "Besides, I don't want to trade your time for my power. Spirit damage will slowly recover, and even if I have a headache from time to time, it is still bearable. But if your time is lost, then it will truly be a few years later before you can take human form..."

"You... want to be on equal footing with me?"

The girl's voice slowly lowered: "Are you waiting for me to take human form?"

"That goes without saying, I've been looking forward to it for one hundred thousand years!" Qin Jian said.

The girl: "..."

"You start flirting before you've even taken human form; have you awakened some strange instinct in the human world, you man? Besides, aren't you afraid I'll look like a Rakshasa ghost?"

"Of course I'm not afraid. I have a premonition that you will be the most beautiful one."

"..."

Setting aside their mental exchange, the outside world only heard a "Boom—".

Three figures were sent flying backward under the shocked gazes of countless people, and among them was even the figure of Bibi Dong.

"This... what kind of power is this... to think we were going to ambush a Soul Beast that possesses such power?"

Not only the Spirit Masters on the ground, but even the four of them—Qianjun, Jiangmo, the Snake Spear, and Guibao—were stunned.

Because if it were the four of them, they would have been repelled by that spear strike from Qin Jian just now as well!

"This... what exactly... is this power..."

Bibi Dong flew backward for several hundred meters. After steadying her figure, a trace of shock remained on her face, and what also emerged was the panic of things slipping out of her control.

"I told you long ago, you know nothing of my power."

Qin Jian was high in the air, his Sword Wings waving gently. He pointed the Silver Dragon Spear at every Title Douluo and said indifferently: "If I am willing to pay the price, every one of you present will die!"

The whole world went quiet.

No one doubted his words, because in that heaven-shaking strike just now, every Title Douluo had felt a danger to their life.

That is to say, if Qin Jian truly disregarded everything to drive the power of that Dragon Spear, no one present could stop him.

This time, it was a true deterrence.

Compared to the threat of the Sacrifice in Wuhun City a year ago, the effect was even more significant.

Because that time, he needed to pay the price of his life, and he still couldn't finish off all the Title Douluo, but this time, no one knew what the price was, yet the threat to the Title Douluo was their lives.

Once they reached their level, they were often even less willing to easily offend an existence that could kill them. After all, cultivation is not easy, and no one wants to throw away all their achievements just like that.

"Goodbye, everyone..."

Qin Jian did not fly fast this time; one could even say he flew very slowly.

But no one dared to stop him again.

"Goodbye..."

Qin Jian tilted his head slightly and looked at Bibi Dong: "Goodbye... Pope... Your Eminence..."

According to the timeline, Hu Liena was probably going to Slaughter City, and he prepared to go directly there to wait for her.

As for the entanglements with Bibi Dong after reaching level 80 in the future, let's leave that for another day...

It was a pity about the Spirit Hall's secret layout and exploration over this past year, especially the Guard Army that appeared to be directly under the Pope but was actually controlled by him; it all fell short at the last moment...

However, factions and such were just a distraction; his own path to godhood was his everything. At most, for the future Soul Hunting Operation, he would have to spend more effort to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Those dozen or so controlled Spirit Douluo could serve as a hidden hand, and there were also these four Title Douluo controlled by Bibi Dong. If they were also sent to participate in the Soul Hunting Operation, then the final result would surely be a "surprise" for the Spirit Hall...

"Qin Jian... you... don't go..."

Bibi Dong blocked his path again, but this time she appeared much weaker.

Clearly, she realized she couldn't force him to stay, and for a moment, she lost her confidence.

For this woman who was like an empress, it was probably the first time she had felt so powerless...

"This time, the Pope has won a complete victory, controlling four Title Douluo from the Elder Hall, leaving the Great Pontiff with no room to argue, and you can even push the responsibility for my departure onto them..."

Qin Jian stopped and looked at Bibi Dong's perfect face, his expression very cold: "Having consolidated the position of Pope and strengthened the power in your hands, the Pope should be even more high-spirited now. Why insist on keeping me? Do you still want to keep me, only to find a way to gain my trust later and stab me in the back?"

Bibi Dong reached out her hand, wanting to grab his wrist, but halfway there, she slowly pulled it back. She only said in a low voice, carrying a hint of pleading: "I... will not want to kill you again in the future... stay... will you?"

Qin Jian looked at her and said indifferently: "No."

Bibi Dong froze.

Her mind was very chaotic right now, but she knew she had to keep Qin Jian in the Spirit Hall.

Because people only know how to cherish things when they are losing them, and only then do they know their true heart.

And it was only when Bibi Dong was about to slay Qin Jian, when Qin Jian indignantly broke with her, and when Qin Jian was cold and determined to leave, that she experienced that pain from the depths of her heart.

It was also at this moment that she understood that those daily bits and pieces of companionship, those interactions she thought had no influence, and those memories that had long since settled, had actually deepened with time, becoming mellow and impossible to cut away.

Without going through this time, she would have always placed Qin Jian behind her desire for power, but this attempt to sever the relationship truly made her realize what was more inseparable.

"Qin Jian, they offended you; I will make them your subordinates, how about that?"

Her somewhat chaotic mind made her start speaking without thinking: "And that Guibao Douluo, she is considered a beauty, I will give her to you too!"

How sharp is the perception of a Title Douluo? The four Title Douluo over there heard her words, and their expressions immediately became exceptionally colorful.

From pursuers to subordinates? What kind of thing is this...

Of course, the one with the ugliest expression was naturally Guibao Douluo.

Didn't Bibi Dong's words mean she was treating her as a plaything to be given to Qin Jian?

She, a dignified Title Douluo, was actually going to be reduced to a plaything?

This is truly, really unbearable... but!

Does one have to choose to die?

Thinking of this, Guibao Douluo instantly became dejected...

There is no one who does not cherish their own life; no matter how well one thought before, or how righteous one appeared, when truly facing death, almost everyone will choose... to cave in.

"No need, I don't care about these things at all..."

Qin Jian's words made Guibao Douluo feel slightly relieved.

Of course, there was still a tiny, twisted bit of displeasure that was not worth mentioning to outsiders...

Qin Jian shook his head: "Pope, you still do not understand what it is... that I truly want..."
