Chapter 181 Redemption in the Dark (Two in One)
Qian Xunji's expression changed drastically and he looked up.
A figure fell down with the sword light and stood in front of Bibi Dong.
The surging soul power fluctuations surged like waves, and seven soul rings of yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black and red were circling under his feet.
Even a titled Douluo would be wary of that different combination of soul rings from an ordinary soul master.
The next moment, the blue tidal realm was as deep as the sea, rivaling the angelic realm emanating from Qian Xunji.
Then the sword energy quickly grew in the blue light, quietly surrounding it with the unparalleled sharp sword intent.
The field of kendo!
But today's swordsmanship field is completely different from the field that Su Cheng once practiced in the real world.
The seventh soul ring of one hundred thousand years brings about a qualitative change.
What's more, this is not an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul ring, but a perfect soul ring that Su Cheng combined with his strongest sword spirit to perfectly match his basic qualities.
As the dual realms were superimposed, even if the golden angel realm was displayed by a titled Douluo, it was gradually suppressed.
Everyone present could clearly see that the brilliant golden light in the Angel Realm was being cut and consumed by sharp sword energy, and then was being eaten away by the dark blue tide.
Qian Xunji didn't pay attention to the changes in the field, but looked at Su Cheng himself who suddenly appeared in front of him with a gloomy expression.
What made him most wary was the long sword in the opponent's hand.
It was not like an ordinary weapon soul's real body, but more like an extension of the opponent's body.
Su Cheng, who was holding a long sword at this time, stood there like a sharp sword.
This state is completely different from the situation where ordinary weapon soul masters use the weapon soul itself as the main body when they use the weapon soul's true form.
As the Pope of Wuhun Palace, Qian Xunji certainly knows the specific effects of Wuhun Avatar, a powerful soul skill.
What is the true body of martial spirit?
For the owner of the beast spirit, after using the seventh spirit skill, spirit avatar, he will transform into his true spirit, possessing huge explosive power, and his strength will increase geometrically.
Just like Qian Xunji himself at this time, he completely transformed into a seraph.
The situation of weapon soul masters is slightly different. Their seventh soul skill is also the true form of the martial soul, but the form of expression is different. It is the soul that uses itself as the weapon soul to maximize the power of a certain attribute that the weapon soul focuses on.
If the user possesses a weapon soul of higher quality, the power erupted from the weapon soul avatar will be more terrifying than a beast soul avatar of the same level.
Before level 70, beast soul masters have the ability to possess martial souls and can receive all-round blessings from martial souls, so they are generally stronger than weapon soul masters with martial souls of the same quality.
But after reaching the seventieth level, the weapon soul master's strength will be surpassed by relying on the weapon soul's true body. The reason is the ultimate strengthening effect brought by the power of the soul.
After the weapon soul's true form is used, it will merge the caster's own soul with the weapon soul, giving it an extra layer of power.
Qian Xunji didn't know that this situation no longer applied to Su Cheng.
The reason naturally lies in the soul.
When Su Cheng made progress in his research on the soul, his weapon soul's real body was very different from ordinary people.
Although he has not yet been able to completely unify his own strength, he can still completely stabilize his soul in his body.
After using the weapon soul's true form, his soul power also did not flow into the sword spirit in his hand. Under this situation, the sword spirit in his hand passively merged with Su Cheng himself.
This also means that at this time, he can not only show Su Cheng's own profound soul power, but other powers are also entangled with each other.
In other words, this uses the martial soul as a medium to integrate various powers in the body to a certain extent. The state is somewhat similar to the combination of the advantages of the weapon soul avatar and the beast soul avatar.
"Cheng Xue, what are you doing?!" Qian Xunji suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, secretly assessing the opponent's strength.
Although he was talking, it obviously did not delay him from being ready to take action at any time.
"Cheng Xue..."
Bibi Dong stared blankly at the figure in front of her.
At this moment, many images flashed through her mind like flashes of light.
It seemed that he didn't think of anything, and his heart was already filled with a certain figure.
Su Cheng did not look back at Bibi Dong, nor did he answer Qian Xunji's question.
There is no need to say anything more now, just prepare to fight.
But he also knew what was going on. In Wuhun Palace, it is impossible to kill Qian Xunji, and there is no need to kill him. If you teach him a little lesson, someone will naturally come to clean up the mess later.
Before taking action, he had already imagined all the possible consequences.
The Elder's Hall is not far from here.
This secret room originally had the effect of blocking mental exploration, making it difficult for anyone to perceive what was happening in it.
Just when Su Cheng was in the Elders' Hall, he noticed that Bibi Dong's aura disappeared from his perception.
He immediately realized that Qian Xunji might be on to something, so he quickly rushed from the Elder's Hall and directly penetrated the external obstacles with a physical sword, exposing the situation in the secret room to the broad daylight.
To be honest, Su Cheng was not sure what Qianxun Ji wanted to do when he brought Bibi Dong into the secret room at that time. He just had some guesses.
In the half year since he came to Wuhun City, Qianxunji had never taken Bibi Dong to the secret room. It can be seen that Bibi Dong did not know the existence of this place at this time, and the master and apprentice would not teach and learn knowledge here.
But today, Qianxunji returned to Wuhun City, and after the two met, he took Bibi Dong in at such a time.
In addition to the matter between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, considering this guy's character, it is likely that there is nothing good.
Of course, taking action to stop it is not Su Cheng's only choice.
If he did not take action just now, but waited and saw what would happen, even if Qianxunji really did a beastly act, with the words Su Cheng said to Bibi Dong as a prelude, it would not affect the subsequent plan, and it would be fine from the perspective of interests.
But taking action at this time, there is a certain risk. If the guess is wrong, it will undoubtedly completely anger Qianxunji, and it will greatly damage the good impression of Wuhun Hall on him now.
But Su Cheng still chose to take action.
Even if he made a wrong judgment, he could afford the price he had to pay, and there was a way to compensate the Spirit Hall and reduce the loss to a certain extent.
The only person who would have to pay the price at that time would be Bibi Dong.
Su Cheng did not consider himself a good person, and he was not afraid to use others. In this world with clear class distinctions and the supremacy of force, killing, looting, conspiracy, and exploitation are all normal things.
But there must always be a bottom line when doing things.
He did not approve of Qianxunji's approach.
Then let's fight and speak with strength.
Su Cheng looked at the contemporary pope in front of him, the man standing at the pinnacle of power on the continent, the contemporary descendant of the angel clan, with a calm face.
He was too lazy to explain anything. The two people's thinking patterns were not on the same channel, and it was useless to say more.
"Eight-sided tides are coming!"
As Su Cheng's soul skills were used, the originally silent and calm deep blue field suddenly surged violently.
Huge waves swept, and the dual fields combined with each other.
Sharp swords were painted with azure light, and dozens of huge swords that looked like condensed water flow were suspended in the air, exuding a terrifying aura.
In an instant, this small room gave people the illusion that the sea was about to collapse.
Su Cheng ignored the changes around him, holding the long sword in his hands with both hands, slowly raised his hands, and his eyes were empty.
"Sword Fifteen, Empty Mountain!"
The next moment, a huge sword shadow soared into the sky.
The hole above, which was only a few meters wide, was instantly pierced by the sword shadow again, and it was directly expanded dozens of times.
Then the sword shadow pierced the sky and shattered the clouds in the sky.
Bibi Dong looked at the back of the man in front of her.
Although the other party was only a Soul Saint, he was far less advanced than the man opposite.
But standing behind him at this moment, it seemed like he had his back against a mountain, and his heart was at peace.
At the same time, several figures flew over from the direction of the Elders' Hall. They were Yue Guan, Gui Mei and other Spirit Hall elders who were startled by the noise.
The Pope's Hall, which was originally magnificent and majestic, had already turned into ruins.
Looking at the ruins in front of him, Yue Guan turned his head to look at Gui Mei beside him, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "Is this the strength of a Soul Saint?"
Gui Mei's face, which had been stiff for many years, twitched slightly at this time, "Probably... No..."
"What's going on, where is His Holiness the Pope?"
Other elders also asked one after another, with both distress and panic in their expressions.
That's the Pope's Hall.
Has this situation ever happened in the Pope's Hall since the establishment of the Spirit Hall?
"Go and take a look first." Yue Guan calmed down and said in a deep voice.
Others did not know who had used that soul skill, but he knew it. After all, the two had met several times before, and they also knew that Cheng Xue had a sword martial soul and was very powerful.
When they came closer, everyone looked at the two parties fighting underground.
Or it could not be said to be a battle, but that Pope Qianxunji was being suppressed unilaterally.
Although they were far apart, the terrifying implication revealed in Su Cheng's sword moves still shocked them.
"Elder Ju, what do you say? Do you want to stop it?" The person who spoke was a little hesitant, and it was obvious that he was not sure.
Yue Guan thought for a while and shook his head.
It seemed that the Pope would not be in danger of his life for a while, so he had to wait and see.
That kid's identity was not simple, and he was also favored by the great worshiper. Who knew what the situation was now.
It was not their turn to say more about this matter.
At this time in the Wuhun City, in terms of identity and strength, it was not that no one could suppress these two.
Sure enough, at this moment, another figure appeared silently above the Pope's Palace.
No one even knew how he appeared, as if he had been floating there and had never left.
"Stop it."
As the light voice fell, both the sword energy wielded by Su Cheng and the domain around Qianxunji instantly melted away, and his soul power was completely suppressed.
Qian Daoliu glanced at the ruined Pope's Palace, a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes, and then he looked at Su Cheng with a serious expression.
"With the body of a soul saint, his strength can actually reach this level... No wonder he is confident that he can obtain the Nine Tests of the Sea God..."
This Cheng Xue, whether it is the power of the weapon soul true body or the accumulation of his own soul power, is far superior to ordinary soul saints, and is even not weaker than ordinary titled Douluo.
But what is even more terrifying is the self-created soul skills of those swords.
The other elders couldn't see it, but he could feel that if Su Cheng used a few more swords, Qian Xunji would lose half of his life even if he didn't die.
Then Qian Daoliu turned his eyes slightly, glanced at Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong again, and immediately realized that there seemed to be something hidden in them.
After thinking about it, he prepared to disperse everyone first to see if there was any remedy.
For Bo Saixi's sake, he would definitely not blame Cheng Xue too much. After all, the other party had not done anything irreparable yet.
Although the Pope's Palace is the facade of the Wuhun Palace, it is only an external object after all. This scene is not seen by outsiders. The crime can actually be big or small.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Cheng unexpectedly attacked him one step ahead.
"Senior Qiandaoliu, when I was on Poseidon Island, I often heard the teacher mention your name."
Qian Daoliu paused as he was about to speak and looked over in surprise.
"She once said that the descendants of the Angel family are all gentlemen with good conduct and have always taken it as their duty to protect the people.
"As an angel guardian, you have never had any selfish intentions, even she feels ashamed.
"Since I came to Douluo Continent, I have also inquired about what Wuhun Palace has done. The people are full of praise and regard it as their belief in their hearts."
Having said this, Su Cheng paused for a moment.
Many elders were confused when they heard this. Did they give in after seeing the strength of the great worshipper?
So you started to make excuses to please the big worshiper and prevent being settled by the queen?
But that doesn't seem to be the case. Judging from his expression, something isn't quite right.
Su Cheng ignored the others, looked at Qian Daoliu, and continued to say in a cold voice: "But what happened today really disappointed this junior. The Wuhun Palace was just a place where filth and evil spread. As for this contemporary pope, ,hehe……"
Su Cheng turned his head and looked at Qian Xunji coldly, "It's even more disgusting."
"What?!"
"Do you know what you are talking about!"
"You are brave!"
"..."
When the other elders heard this, they became furious and reprimanded one after another. Some even had plans to take action.
To them, the Pope is the representative of Wuhun Palace and the leader in their hearts.
Although there are differences in the behavior of different popes when they are in office, they cannot be slandered by outsiders.
Bibi Dong, who was standing behind Su Cheng, looked a little dazed as she watched his words and actions angrily criticizing Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji.
Bibi Dong never expected, let alone expected, that the other party would be able to do this for her.
For a moment, an electric current flashed through my heart, causing waves of tingling.
Tears that had never been shed before in despair now surged out uncontrollably.
Su Cheng ignored Qian Xunji's resentful gaze and turned to look at Bibi Dong behind him, whose face was full of tears.
This is also the first formal conversation between the two since their last separation.
"Bibi Dong, if you want to say something, you can tell them what happened just now. I would like to see how Wuhun Palace will deal with this. If they want to kill people and silence them, I can ensure your safe retreat.
"Of course, it's about your personal reputation. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I can make compensation to Wuhun Palace, which will definitely satisfy them.
"What I just did was just my choice. It has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to take my thoughts into account."
"..." Bibi Dong looked at Su Cheng.
In his blurred vision, the silver mask of the person in front of him was flashing with mottled light and shadow.
An impulse suddenly surged in her heart.
She wanted to rush forward, lift off the mask, and see what kind of face was hidden underneath.
But thinking about the friction that had occurred between the two before, I suddenly felt timid again.
If she hadn't insisted on going her own way, things wouldn't have gotten to where they are now.
Everyone except Bibi Dong couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this.
There was also a bit of indignation in the confusion, and I felt that this guy was really arrogant.
There are so many titled Douluo gathered here, and there are also great enshrinements here, how dare he say these words.
Qian Daoliu didn't care about Su Cheng's remarks and frowned at Qian Xunji.
After noticing his son's expression, his heart suddenly sank.
But he didn't say much, and turned to look at Bibi Dong, quietly waiting for the follow-up.
"He said……"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress her emotions, and her voice was slightly trembling after speaking.
"He said that he wanted to possess my body and let me stay in Wuhun Hall forever..."
"..."
As Bibi Dong finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was shocked by what she just said.
That's the Pope.
That is the symbol of Wuhun Palace and the belief of countless Wuhun Palace disciples. How could he do such a thing!
"Saint..."
"Holy girl, be careful what you say..."
"..."
A few elders couldn't help but speak.
They don't want to deny the truth, they just can't believe it and they just want to convince themselves.
The impact of this incident was too huge.
Qian Xunji remained silent at this time and had no intention of denying it.
In fact, until now, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.
Everything he did was for the benefit of Wuhun Palace.
Regardless of whether the methods are despicable or despicable, for the sake of Wuhun Palace, what do these mean?
What's more, everything Bibi Dong has grown up to this day has been a gift from Wuhun Palace, and it is natural to pay for it.
It's a pity that he was unlucky and met Cheng Xue, who was much stronger than expected, which led to failure.
Otherwise, once the success was achieved, the subsequent hidden dangers could be slowly eliminated through many methods.
But Qian Daoliu's moral standards were obviously not on the same level as his.
After listening to Bibi Dong's simple narration, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
He still had some knowledge, and he could roughly tell whether what the other party said was true or false.
At this moment, this peerless Douluo who had cultivated himself for decades and was as gentle as jade on weekdays, spoke with a few tremors, "Ji'er, do you have anything else to say?"
"..." Qianxunji was silent for a moment, then moved his eyes away from Su Cheng and turned to look at Bibi Dong.
Then he looked up at Qian Daoliu, "I have nothing to say. Bibi Dong, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, was trained by the Spirit Hall and obtained countless resources from the Spirit Hall, but she wanted to commit herself to a useless soul master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and threatened to leave the Spirit Hall. Naturally, I will not allow it."
Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and she subconsciously glanced at Su Cheng beside her.
Su Cheng did not look at her, but stared at Qian Daoliu, waiting for his decision.
Qian Daoliu avoided his gaze at this time and fell silent.
After a long while, he spoke again: "Go to the Elder Hall to face the wall for fifty years. You don't have to continue to sit on the throne of the Pope."
After hearing Qian Xunji's answer, at that moment, he even wanted to kill his son.
But this is his son after all, and the only blood descendant of the angel clan.
He couldn't do it.
Just now, he avoided Su Cheng's gaze, and felt that he was selfish and unfair.
This was just what he thought.
In fact, Qian Daoliu's way of handling things has exceeded Su Cheng's original expectations.
After all, the incident did not really happen. As a top-level strong man in the world, Qian Daoliu can decide many things with one word. No one can say anything to him even if he really wants to protect him to death.
Even if there is a bottom line, dismissing the Pope is already the limit.
Fifty years of facing the wall and thinking about one's mistakes is not short.
Qian Xunji is not young now. In fifty years, he will be a hundred years old, which means that his life will basically end.
When the others heard this conversation, they were silent for a while, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Directly dismissing the contemporary Pope, even if Qian Daoliu is the head of the Elder Hall and the Judge Elder, this is actually not in line with the process.
But obviously there is no need to say more at this time.
After doing such a thing and being exposed, it is impossible for him to continue to serve as the Pope.
Qian Xunji did not resist this result.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He had already expected the consequences of this matter being exposed.
After taking a deep look at Cheng Xue, he turned around and left the place, and took the initiative to go to the Elder Hall to be punished.
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong again at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Dong'er, from today on, you will temporarily take over the position of Pope. Elder Ju and Elder Gui will serve as assistants. When you become a Titled Douluo, you can directly succeed the Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"..."
Bibi Dong fell silent after hearing this.
She didn't want to stay in the Spirit Hall anymore. She hated this place and wanted to leave this place.
After today's incident, the wildness dormant in her heart finally began to wake up little by little.
Bibi Dong subconsciously looked in the direction of Su Cheng.
At this time, only this person could give her some encouragement.
Su Cheng still didn't look at her, but silently thought about the subsequent impact in his heart.
Qian Daoliu actually still had some thoughts, at least he was worried about the Spirit Hall.
The act of letting Bibi Dong take over as Pope just now was both compensation and a desire to bind her to the Spirit Hall.
Qianxunji and Bibi Dong had revealed a lot of information in their previous words.
With Qian Daoliu's wisdom, he could definitely guess that Bibi Dong had some thoughts of leaving the Spirit Hall.
Coupled with the catalysis of this incident, it was obvious that she could not be retained without paying a price.
"Cheng Xue..." Bibi Dong saw that the other party ignored her, and she could not help but speak.
"Face it or escape, you choose."
Su Cheng did not want to interfere with Bibi Dong's decision.
From now on, he would start to train the other party.
In fact, he did not want Bibi Dong to leave the Spirit Hall.
There are resources here that can help her practice better, and she can also get more training.
The most important thing is the tempering of the state of mind.
If she chooses to escape today, this incident may become a shadow in her heart in the future, which is not conducive to her future practice.
In the early stage, she did not see much impact with her talent advantage, but after being promoted to Title Douluo, even with the help of the talent of the twin spirits, she would face many difficulties.
The improvement of the state of mind has nothing to do with whether one's behavior is right or wrong. The key lies in whether one can practice one's own path and face one's own failures and fears.
Even if a person is violent by nature, as long as he does not doubt what he does, he will not develop a demon in his heart.
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, and seeing that the other party was still silent, he did not force it.
He just said: "Dong'er, you should have a good rest first, Elder Ju, you should take care of the saint."
After that, he looked at Su Cheng again, "Cheng Xue, come with me."
Su Cheng did not refuse after hearing this, but turned around and looked at Bibi Dong, and her eyes were still slightly red at this time.
Bibi Dong looked a little worried and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. But in front of the black eyes under the mask, she felt as if her throat was choked and she couldn't say anything.
Su Cheng nodded at her and said softly: "Don't think too much, it's just a little setback."
After that, he turned around and left this place, quickly following Qian Daoliu.
Looking at the other person's leaving back, Bibi Dong was stunned.
She suddenly realized that in fact, everything had been different since the two met more than half a year ago.
That day was the most intense moment of her mood in her life.
She also tried to forget those scenes.
Whether she was rescued by the other party, her body was seen by the other party, or even the words that echoed in the depths of her memory day and night, she was trying to adjust and calm down.
She pretended not to care about these things, and regarded the incident that day as an accident, and there was only a favor between the two.
She would work hard to practice and repay the other party after she achieved something in the future.
But fake is just fake after all.
Otherwise, she would not be absent-minded when she was with Yu Xiaogang, would not be dissatisfied because of the other party's neglect, would not be angry because of a few words, and would not take the initiative to confess her feelings to Qianxunji.
In the Elder Hall, Qian Daoliu stood in front of Su Cheng, his face a little gloomy.
Obviously, what Qianxunji did today was a big blow to him.
"I didn't discipline him strictly, and I made you laugh."
Su Cheng shook his head, "Senior, there is no need to say that. Qianxunji is not a child. The consequences of what he did naturally do not need others to bear for him. The way you handled it today made the younger generation respect you. The teacher did not make a mistake."
This is the truth.
With Qian Daoliu's status and strength level, it was not necessary to deal with it so fiercely.
"If the son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. I am responsible for this matter." Qian Daoliu sighed.
However, he did not continue to discuss this topic, and instead said: "Your strength is extraordinary. I finally believe that you are really qualified to accept the god-level test."
"Senior, you are too kind." Su Cheng said calmly, "I have already given up the test, so there will be no more chances."
"Yes, there is no chance..." Qian Daoliu sighed, his expression complicated.
Even with his current state of mind, he could not be so free and easy, and he could not help but feel more and more emotional.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"First, I will experience it on the mainland. What will happen next, I haven't thought about it myself. Maybe I will return to the sea in the future."
"On the sea..." Qian Daoliu silently chewed on the meaning of Su Cheng's words, "You really make me look at you with new eyes."
Su Cheng's words clearly implied that he might return to the sea, but it was just the sea.
After the age of eighteen, there is no chance to accept the test again.
Without going through the test, you can't go to the Sea God Island.
In other words, Su Cheng may return to the sea in the future, but he also knows that he can't go back to the Sea God Island.
"Cheng Xue, I want to ask you, are you willing to guide the Spirit Hall Saintess's cultivation in the future?"
"Me? But my age and cultivation..." Su Cheng was a little surprised.
He thought that Qian Daoliu must have something else to say when he asked him to come over, but he didn't expect it to be this.
He originally thought that after Qian Xunji was put in solitary confinement, many elders of the Spirit Hall would preach on his behalf, or Qian Daoliu would personally take action to train this future pope.
But he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to find him.
