Douluo: After Bibi Dong's abuse, Gu Yuena takes care of her

The air felt like solidified lead, pressing heavily on Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena's lungs.

The space was filled with an indescribable eeriness, and the dangerous aura was almost tangible, enveloping them.

Sweat had long since soaked through their inner garments, clinging coldly to their skin, and both of them looked frighteningly pale.

Even more lifeless than the most bleak snow of deep winter, leaving only taut nerves and a heavy heartbeat.

Qian Renshang's fingers gripped himself tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force.

It wasn't out of fear; that emotion had long been crushed by something much bigger.

The overwhelming, suffocating sense of oppression caused his arms to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Gu Yuena stood not far from him, her long silver hair disheveled by a sudden gust of air, like a shattered patch of moonlight.

A stubborn streak that refused to be extinguished still lingered deep in her eyes.

But more than anything, she was overwhelmed by exhaustion and a sense of powerlessness in the face of the situation.

The five figures, like five ancient divine mountains rising from the ground and connecting heaven and earth, completely blocked all possible escape routes.

The five great god-kings, simply by standing there, exuded an aura so powerful that it could freeze one's blood and make one's soul tremble.

His gaze was like a sharp, tangible blade, piercing through with a chilling intent to crush everything.

The divine armor covering them radiated a dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at; that light itself contained a world-destroying power.

"It's over..." Qian Renshang's voice was squeezed out from deep in his throat, dry and rough like sandpaper.

"If all five of them attacked together, we couldn't stop them..." The light in his eyes dimmed completely.

It was as if he could already see his and Gu Yuena's bloody and mangled end.

He suddenly turned his head, looked intently into Gu Yuena's eyes, and his lips moved slightly.

It seemed she was trying to squeeze out the last few words from her throat, frozen by despair: "Sister Nana, I'm so sorry..."

"Bang——!!!"

An unimaginable roar exploded in his ears without warning! It was as if the entire world had been torn apart in an instant. The enormous sound wave assaulted his eardrums, and a buzzing sound immediately filled his entire head.

Qian Renshang subconsciously, almost resignedly, closed his eyes.

It's over. The cold touch of death seems to have already touched my skin.

A sense of desolation washed over me like a tide, drowning out all other thoughts.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... the expected excruciating pain did not come.

What was going on? A trace of confusion, like a worm, pierced through the hard shell of despair. He abruptly forced open his heavy eyelids—

White.

A blinding white. An endless expanse of white light that swallowed everything.

There is no direction, no boundaries, only this pure, unsettling white.

The terrifying figures of the five great god-kings vanished, as if they had never existed.

What made Qian Renshang's heart stop beating even more was that Gu Yuena, who was so close at hand, had also disappeared in this white expanse!

"Sister Nana—!!" Fear, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around his heart; he almost roared out.
His voice was distorted and hoarse from extreme panic.

"Where are you?! Answer me! What's wrong with you?!" He was like a blind, trapped beast.

He stumbled and ran wildly through this pure white hell, his hands frantically clawing at the void, trying to catch a trace of her presence, a touch of her clothes.

"Hmph, Qian Renshang... you're lucky."

A cold, emotionless voice, as if drifting in from near and far, seemed to come through thick glass.
"If your time limit in the lower realm hadn't expired... how could you have survived? Next time... we won't give you even the slightest chance!"

"Even if you ascend to the realm of gods, it will be of no use! This debt must be settled!"

Another chilling voice, like a ghostly whisper, followed closely behind, carrying an icy edge. (End of Chapter)
