Chapter 185 My Sword Is Not Indiscriminately Weak
That night.
The moonlight, like water, spilled over Papal Mountain, enveloping the entire mountain in a tranquil silver glow.
In the distance, the Papal Palace stood majestically, gleaming with a faint golden halo under the moonlight, sacred and solemn.
Jiang Bai walked along the corridor leading back to his chambers.
He had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, his mind still savoring his "spiritual communion" with Ah Yin—that feeling of soul merging was truly indescribable.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze turned to the shadows at the other end of the corridor.
There, a figure stood.
A man who looked to be only thirty or forty years old slowly emerged from the shadows.
He was handsome, with a faint smile on his face. He was tall but not muscular, wearing a simple gray robe, his long hair flowing down his back.
Jiang Bai looked at him, his brows furrowing slightly.
What’s that old bastard doing, sneaking around like this so late at night?
Although Qian Daoliu is Qian Renxue’s grandfather, Jiang Bai doesn’t have a good impression of him.
Besides... isn’t this Spirit Hall territory?
What’s this old bastard, an angel, up here so late at night? What’s he up to?
Jiang Bai spoke calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Something wrong?"
Qian Daoliu looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He could certainly sense the distance and coldness in Jiang Bai’s attitude.
It’s all his own doing.
He sighed inwardly.
Back then, if he hadn’t indulged Bibi Dong, if he hadn’t turned a blind eye to Bibi Dong’s actions, this enmity wouldn’t have been formed.
But now, it’s too late to say anything.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "I heard you not only plan to dismantle the Clear Sky Hammer relief on the Spirit City wall, but also... destroy the Clear Sky Sect?"
Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow: "So what if I do?"
Qian Daoliu, hands behind his back, slowly approached, saying, "Dismantling the relief, altering the token—I don’t care about any of that."
He paused, his tone becoming serious: "But the Clear Sky Sect... cannot be destroyed."
"At least... not now."
Jiang Bai’s eyebrows furrowed even more upon hearing this.
He stared at Qian Daoliu in disbelief, as if looking at a complete stranger.
What...did this old man say?
Qian Daoliu seemed to sense his confusion and explained, "I once fought against Tang Chen, the previous sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect."
His gaze drifted into the distance, as if recalling something.
"In that battle, Tang Chen was slightly superior. Afterwards, we made an agreement: under my command, no one belonging to the Spirit Hall will ever set foot on the mountain where the Clear Sky Sect is located."
"Unless..."
He paused, "...I can defeat Tang Chen."
Jiang Bai listened, remaining silent for a moment.
Then he spoke, "So?"
Qian Daoliu looked at him earnestly, "I hope you can suspend your plans against the Clear Sky Sect."
"Pfft—!"
Jiang Bai couldn’t help but laugh.
The laughter was full of sarcasm.
He looked at Qian Daoliu, saying each word clearly, "Old man, you’ve become a coward!"
"I never thought that the Angel Douluo, once known as ’Invincible in the Sky,’ would actually adhere to that laughable morality in the face of the greater good?"
Qian Daoliu sighed, "Jiang Bai, you don’t understand..."
"I really don’t understand morality."
Jiang Bai interrupted him, his voice turning cold: "Because no one taught me."
He stepped forward, meeting Qian Daoliu’s gaze: "I only know that right now, my fist is bigger than yours."
"If you still stubbornly cling to your so-called morality..."
He paused, then said, word by word, "Then ignore everything, go back to the Hall of Worship, and pray to your Angel God."
Qian Daoliu’s eyes instantly sharpened!
A terrifying aura erupted from his body!
That was the pressure of a level 99 Peerless Douluo!
Like the sky collapsing and the earth crumbling, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down on Jiang Bai! "Jiang Bai!"
His voice was deep, tinged with anger: "Do you want to test the sharpness of my Angel Sword?!"
"My sword is just as sharp!"
Jiang Bai faced the overwhelming pressure without flinching.
He unleashed his own aura!
The two auras collided and compressed in mid-air, producing a hissing sound.
Qian Daoliu was stunned.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Bai to be so tough.
He had assumed that with his level 99 strength and his status in the Spirit Hall, Jiang Bai would at least show him some respect.
But this kid wasn’t playing by the rules!
"Fine, fine..."
Qian Daoliu laughed angrily: "Then tonight, let’s have a match!"
Since Jiang Bai chose to settle things with his fists, he would have no choice but to let the Angel Sword teach this kid what "morality" was!
Although Jiang Bai had killed Bibi Dong, and although Jiang Bai possessed nine 100,000-year spirit rings, Qian Daoliu was still quite confident in his strength.
He simply refused to believe it.
With his level 99 spirit power, plus the boost from a trace of angelic divine power, how could he possibly be inferior to Jiang Bai, a titled Douluo who had only recently advanced?
...
Outside Wuhun City.
A small valley.
Surrounded by rolling mountains, the valley contained a flat meadow, the wild grass ankle-deep, swaying gently in the night breeze.
Two figures stood facing each other.
Qian Daoliu held the golden Angel Sword, his body erupting with dazzling golden holy light!
The light was so intense that it instantly illuminated the entire valley!
Behind him, three pairs of pure white wings slowly unfurled.
The wings were holy and majestic, each feather radiating a sacred aura, inspiring awe and an irresistible urge to prostrate oneself in worship.
Nine spirit rings slowly rose beneath his feet.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red!
Eight black and one red!
The pressure of a level 99 Peerless Douluo spread out as if it were tangible!
Qian Daoliu spoke, his voice solemn and majestic: "Qian Daoliu, level 99 Peerless Douluo, title... Angel!"
Across from him.
Jiang Bai stood quietly.
He raised his right hand.
Behind him, a massive nine-colored glazed pagoda appeared!
The pagoda’s body was nine-colored, and the Dragon God’s Heart at its tip shone as brightly as stars! The nine-colored divine light erupted instantly, actually suppressing the golden holy light of Qian Daoliu’s six-winged angel!
Nine spirit rings slowly rose beneath his feet.
Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red!
Like nine blood-red suns, hovering around him!
Jiang Bai clenched his right hand, his soul power coalescing into a three-foot-long sword.
The sword’s blade shimmered with nine colors, exuding an imposing aura.
He spoke, his voice calm: "Jiang Bai, a level 92 Title Douluo, title... Dragon God!"
Qian Daoliu looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Level 92.
Level 92, daring to challenge him, a level 99 man?
This kid... certainly has guts.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Jiang Bai, your level is low, you make the first move!"
Jiang Bai’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
This Qian Daoliu... really...
He didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly said, "If I injure you, don’t blame me for bullying an old man!"
The words had barely left his mouth!
His figure vanished into thin air!
Qian Daoliu’s pupils shrank sharply!
So fast!
The next instant, Jiang Bai was already standing in front of him!
A nine-colored longsword, whistling through the air, slashed down fiercely!
Qian Daoliu had no time to think, hastily swinging his Angel Sword to block!
"Clang—!!!"
The metal clashed, sparks flying!
A terrifying shockwave spread wildly from the two of them, instantly uprooting the surrounding weeds and turning them to dust!
Qian Daoliu’s arm went numb, his heart filled with shock!
This kid...how can he be so fast?!
And so strong?!
But he was, after all, a level ninety-nine peerless Douluo, his combat experience vast.
He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and his Angel Sword transformed into streaks of golden light, clashing with Jiang Bai’s attacks!
"Clang clang clang clang—!!!"
Sword light clashed, sparks flying!
The two exchanged dozens of blows in the blink of an eye!
