Qian Renshang turned to Xiong Jun and the others, his expression resolute, and said in a deep voice:
"You all go back and deal with the other elders and titled Douluo. Leave this to me."
Xiong Jun frowned, his face full of reluctance, and said worriedly:
"But it's too dangerous for you to face him alone!"
Qian Renshang's eyes were like torches, and he shouted loudly:
"This is an order! Go now!"
His voice was filled with unquestionable authority.
"Besides... this is indeed between him and me, Uncle Xiong... I'm begging you!"
Qian Renshang looked at Xiong Jun, and Xiong Jun and the others had no choice but to stomp their feet and turn to rush towards the other Spirit Hall experts.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others gritted their teeth and also joined the battle.
With Qian Daoliu backing them up, their confidence was obviously much greater!
In an instant, the battle broke out again!
And Qian Daoliu and Qian Renshang faced each other from hundreds of meters away!
The next moment!
Qian Renshang and Qian Daoliu floated slowly into the air in perfect unison, the air beneath their feet surging and billowing as if supported by an invisible hand.
Qian Daoliu was enveloped in dazzling holy light, a pure and blazing radiance that seemed capable of dispelling all darkness.
Every ray of light carried a sacred aura, as if he were the embodiment of light, representing justice and order.
Wherever the light touched, space was illuminated, presenting a scene of peace and warmth.
Qian Renshang, on the other hand, was shrouded in a dense aura of darkness, as deep and inky as ink, seemingly capable of devouring all light.
The darkness surged around him, as if alive, faintly radiating a terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine.
His figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness, mysterious and filled with a dangerous aura, as if he were the master of darkness, symbolizing rebellion and resistance.
The grandfather and grandson stared at each other in the air, their eyes filled with hatred and killing intent.
To think that just months ago they were so harmonious, and now they were mortal enemies—how ironic!
The moment Qian Daoliu killed Uncle Chi, in this world... Qian Daoliu became the person Qian Renshang hated most!
Even more than Bibi Dong!
Thinking of this!
Qian Renshang unconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes filled with surging killing intent!
Qian Daoliu's expression was equally complex.
This was his first real encounter with Qian Renshang.
No matter how ruthless he had spoken of before, when they faced each other, Qian Daoliu still felt a little reluctant.
He considered himself a kind person.
The title "Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu" bestowed upon him by others reflected his youthful days spent wandering the world with his sword, believing that upholding justice was his duty!
Looking back on his life, Qian Daoliu didn't consider himself a bad person.
There were only a few things in his life that made his conscience uneasy!
The first was condoning his son Qian Xunji's rape of Bibi Dong, which later resulted in their offspring!
Because of guilt, he didn't harm Bibi Dong afterwards!
The second thing!
That was killing Qian Renshang.
He felt guilty about that too, since Qian Renshang hadn't actually done anything wrong before, but it was the will of the Angel God.
He couldn't disobey!
"Qian Renshang... I'm giving you a chance now.
I don't really want to fight you like this.
You cripple your second spirit here, breaking the prophecy of the Angel God, and I can promise you... I will do my best to make amends!"
"Everything before can be considered as if it never happened.
Qian Jun is dead... and your Beast King is dead too.
Let's call it even!"
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and looked at Qian Renshang, feeling that this was a chance he was giving Qian Renshang.
He was still too kind!
"Give me a chance, and we're even?"
Qian Renshang laughed sarcastically.
"How ridiculous. Back when we were in the Spirit Hall, you had more than ten Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, as well as countless Soul Masters helping you.
When you were so confident of victory, why didn't you discuss it with me...?"
"Now that the beast tide is coming, you're talking to me about discussing it?"
"Qian Daoliu, you're even more shameless than I imagined!"
"Child..."
Qian Daoliu's expression turned extremely ugly, as if his secret had been exposed.
"Get lost!"
Qian Renshang interrupted his attempt to get close with a cold look in his eyes, and Qian Daoliu also became a little angry!
"Qian Renshang... do you really think I'm afraid of the so-called beast tide?
I, Qian Daoliu, am a level 99 peak peerless Douluo, wielding an angelic artifact.
It's almost like I'm a living god."
"As long as I live, your beast tide won't even set foot on Jialing Pass!"
Qian Daoliu felt Qian Renshang was getting a bit too arrogant. He truly wasn't afraid of beast tides!
Unless that Emperor Tian intervened again, Qian Daoliu was invincible, especially since he possessed a divine artifact!
Moreover, Qian Renxue was currently undergoing her final divine trial!
After becoming an Angel God, what beast tide could she possibly quell in a moment!
"Qian Daoliu... now that you've fallen here, I can believe you a little, otherwise... everything you say is utter nonsense!"
"Stop your hypocrisy, we can only fight to the death!"
Seeing Qian Renshang's stubbornness, Qian Daoliu knew there was no turning back!
Today, there was only one battle!
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, his voice majestic and cold:
"You rebellious son, stubbornly clinging to your delusions, you've embarked on this path of no return.
Today, I will use the power of light to cleanse your family and sweep away the darkness of this world."
"Child of Darkness, you truly deserve the title, Qian Renshang!"
The holy light emanating from him grew stronger with each word, blindingly bright, making it impossible to look directly at him.
Even if it's a fight, it must be justified.
He, Qian Daoliu, is fighting for justice.
Qian Renshang gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with rage:
"You've never given me any affection, only endless exploitation and deception. Don't try to be so hypocritical, as if I owe your Qian family a great debt.
Aside from not being able to decide my own birth, I have no desire to have any connection with your Qian family!
Beneath your light lies endless darkness and hypocrisy.
Today, it's either you or me who dies!"
"The revenge for Uncle Chi will be repaid with blood!"
The dark aura emanating from him grew even denser, forming a stark contrast with Qian Daoliu's holy light, as if it were about to devour the light.
Qian Daoliu remained silent, his face grim.
He knew his previous actions had been somewhat shameful, but deep down he felt he had his reasons.
Qian Renshang had to die, and ruthless methods were not wrong!
Their auras surged, the surrounding space seemingly unable to withstand the immense pressure, emitting a faint hum.
Light and darkness collided and intertwined, forming strange beams of light, distorting the entire space.
Facing Qian Daoliu, Qian Renshang didn't hesitate, instantly switching to his Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul.
Darkness surged wildly from his body like thick ink, his twelve wings unfurling, each feather seemingly composed of pure dark energy, radiating a chilling aura.
