Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 587: Battle of Poseidon Island (587)
Acting promptly, Tang San immediately ordered everyone to retreat towards Seagod Island!
"A turtle trapped in a jar is seeking its own death!"

Qian Renxue held the Sword of Judgment and flew towards the Sea God Island with unparalleled momentum. Just as she reached halfway in the air, a figure flew out from the crowd and blocked Qian Renxue's way.

"It's you, Bai Chenxiang."

She was actually here too... but the two of them seemed to be standing on opposite sides of each other. Bai Chenxiang flew to Qian Renxue with Jixiang, her face complicated, with tears still lingering on her face that she had left for Qian Renxue just now.

"It's great that you're not dead..."

"Are you disappointed that I didn't die?"

Qian Renxue looked at her old friend with mixed feelings. Under the circumstances at the time, she could not save Bai Chenxiang and her family, so she could only push her to Tang San's camp so that her entire clan could be saved. But, would she understand her painstaking efforts?
"No! No! I have always believed that you will win!" Bai Chenxiang's face turned pale and she was busy explaining. Although her grandfather and even her entire clan joined Tang San's camp, she always cherished their friendship in her heart.

"Then why did you stop me?" Qian Renxue's expression eased a lot. If you could understand my painstaking efforts, all the stories that happened between us would be worth it.

"I want to ask you to let Ma Hongjun go. He saved my life. I want you to show some mercy. It's my way of repaying him. I know this is too much, but your enemy is Tang San. Ma Hongjun is just Tang San's follower, and he is also a civilian spirit master with no background. Letting him go will definitely not pose any threat to the Spirit Hall."

"What did you say!" This sentence made Qian Renxue's blood boil. She never expected that Bai Chenxiang would actually plead for her for Ma Hongjun!
"Are you crazy? Could it be that you have also been bewitched by Tang San? Don't you know who Ma Hongjun is?"

"I know, but I..." Bai Chenxiang lowered her head bitterly. After spending some time together, she no longer had the same disgust towards Ma Hongjun as before, and she also believed that Ma Hongjun should have turned over a new leaf. She had to give him a chance. She inherited the power of a god, and if he joined the Spirit Hall, he would be a powerful helper to Qian Renxue!

"You beg me to spare my enemies, are you crazy? You can beg for mercy, but when Poseidon and them killed me, when they killed Xie Yue, why didn't anyone beg for mercy!"

Qian Renxue's breathing became rapid, and her anger was on the verge of exploding!
"No... I... But do we have to kill them? Can't we give them a chance? They can turn over a new leaf! Or do you want to kill all the people from Poseidon Island as well?"

Bai Chenxiang was panicked. She was a kind-hearted person and didn't want to owe Ma Hongjun a favor, so she could only try her best to repay him in this way.

She has always believed in the friendship between Qian Renxue and her, a friendship that was worth their lives. Can't you even agree to such a small request? Bai Chenxiang was in a state of confusion. She saw the disappointment in Qian Renxue's eyes. She didn't know why, but she always felt that they were really drifting away from each other.

"Why do you have to plead for him? But your plea alone cannot be a reason for me not to kill him. Get out of the way!"

Qian Renxue was about to push Bai Chenxiang away when a red figure suddenly appeared in the air. It was Ma Hongjun, for whom Bai Chenxiang was pleading.

"Xiangxiang, I didn't expect you to face Qian Renxue alone for me. If I still hide behind you, what kind of man am I? Qian Renxue, come to me if you want to kill me, don't make things difficult for Xiangxiang!" Ma Hongjun was ready to die at this moment, but this little fat man was not a fool. He had already seen that Bai Chenxiang and Qian Renxue had a deep connection. Even if he stood in front of Qian Renxue, as long as Bai Chenxiang was still there, he would be fine. Of course, he had a gamble, but if the gamble was right, not only could he cooperate with his third brother to kill Qian Renxue, but he could also completely capture Bai Chenxiang's heart. Why not do it?

Moreover, as the descendant of the Phoenix God, the Phoenix God has told him that he is extremely special and absolutely immortal. What is there to be afraid of?

"You think I dare not kill you!"

The angry Qian Renxue raised her sword and was about to stab, but Bai Chenxiang immediately blocked Ma Hongjun's way. The Sword of Judgment stopped at Bai Chenxiang's heart and could not move forward any further.

"You...you are crazy. You are willing to sacrifice your life for him? Or do you like him?"

Qian Renxue couldn't believe her eyes at all. Bai Chenxiang would actually sacrifice her own life to save Ma Hongjun.

"Is...is this reason enough?!"

Bai Chenxiang bit her red lips lightly. She didn't know why these words came out of her mouth, but she immediately regretted it after she said it. She saw shock, disappointment, loneliness and sadness in Qian Renxue's eyes.

Qian Renxue put down the sword in her hand, and her expression gradually changed from sad to happy. This sentence killed the last bit of friendship between her and Bai Chenxiang, and they could never go back to the way they were before.

"I originally thought that we would be the same kind of people, Chenxiang. When I was very young, my grandfather told me, "Child, don't blame grandpa for being so strict with you. If grandpa wasn't so strict with you, then the world would be even more cruel than grandpa would treat you!"

Qian Renxue shook her head and smiled bitterly, and continued: "When I was young, I had no idea what grandpa meant by what he said, so I asked him why."

"Grandpa said that in this world, men are superior to women. A man's luck is that no matter he is an adult or a young man, he must embark on a difficult road, but this road is reliable. The misfortune of a woman is that she is surrounded by irresistible temptations. She is not required to strive for progress, but is only encouraged to slide down to reach bliss. When she finds out that she has been fooled, it is too late. Her strength has been lost in countless failed adventures."

Bai Chenxiang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out of her throat. Is this how the Spirit Hall educates Qian Renxue?
At the same time, Qian Renxue continued to tell the story, and everyone listened attentively in silence. Perhaps they also wanted to know what the past of such an extraordinary woman was like.

"Women seem to be happy and satisfied, pampered, tolerated and protected, but in fact, there are sugar-coated bullets and gentle traps everywhere, including why work so hard, it is better to marry someone who can protect you. Children, people say that you rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out, but no one has ever said that you must rely on yourself. So, Xiaoxue, grandpa hopes that you can remember what I said today, live a strong life, not be disturbed by the world, not be eroded by the world's nonsense, and be brave to be a person with your own thoughts and self-improvement."

(So ​​grandpa wants me to be like my mother?)

(Ha ha…)
Qian Daoliu's laughter was slightly bitter. She didn't hear it when she was young, but now she understood it.
