Why did Qian Renxue seem to go crazy as soon as she heard the word "Pope"?
Jiang Chen knew that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong had a bad relationship, but it shouldn't be this bad, right?
He looked back and saw Qian Renxue flying toward him at extreme speed with a face full of murderous aura, golden light flashing on her fist.
That light gave him the same feeling as when he faced the heavenly thunder before; he suspected he couldn't withstand Qian Renxue's punch.
The aura behind him grew closer and closer, making his scalp tingle and his whole body feel as if it were being scorched, the pain unbearable.
"I turn!" With a sharp change of direction, he narrowly brushed past Qian Renxue's fist.
Qian Renxue was stunned again. That kid had miraculously dodged her strike once more.
In truth, the power of this punch wasn't great; the brilliant golden light on it was just for show, but it seemed to have scared the kid quite badly.
"Interesting. Then let me see what makes this disciple of hers so special." The golden light in Qian Renxue's eyes grew even brighter as she locked gazes with Jiang Chen, almost blinding him.
Jiang Chen zigzagged several times, dodging multiple attacks and drawing closer to that archway, but Qian Renxue had already seen through his intention.
Jiang Chen despairingly realized he was blocked again.
Moreover, he noticed that Qian Renxue's speed seemed to be getting faster and faster, as if she were becoming more and more proficient with her flight skill.
Bang! Unable to dodge in time, Jiang Chen was struck squarely on the shoulder by Qian Renxue's fist. Under the high speed, his whole body stumbled and rolled several times on the ground.
He let out a muffled groan and discovered that Qian Renxue's soul skill had an effect that melted soul power. It invaded his body, rapidly dissolving his soul power while bringing enormous pain.
Qian Renxue stopped, worried she might have damaged Jiang Chen too badly. While she was momentarily dazed, Jiang Chen scrambled up and dashed toward the exit.
"This kid is faking it." Qian Renxue concluded in her heart, immediately growing furious.
"You won't escape!"
With a flap of her wings, she moved even faster than before, the golden light on her fist blazing more intensely.
Because she believed her earlier attack hadn't truly hurt Jiang Chen, she unhesitatingly increased her strength, determined to teach him a harsh lesson. In truth, she was also venting her emotions toward Bibi Dong.
Jiang Chen had no idea about Qian Renxue's inner thoughts. When he realized her speed had increased and the energy fluctuations had become even more terrifying, his heart sank.
The power that had invaded his body earlier was already torment enough. If he took a few more punches, his soul power would probably be completely melted and purified.
"I didn't do anything to you, so why are you chasing me like this?" He turned his head and shouted.
But Qian Renxue said nothing, her fist striking without mercy. Amid Jiang Chen's wails, he took several more hits.
And infuriatingly, Qian Renxue targeted his face, repeatedly aiming at his handsome little features.
Jiang Chen's soul power drained rapidly, the pain on his face unbearable, and a surge of anger finally rose in his heart.
Was Qian Renxue always this domineering? He felt immense disappointment.
Driven by rage, he stopped dodging. Turning around, he threw a punch directly at Qian Renxue's incoming fist.
Lightning Fist!
Arcs of electricity coiled around his fist, looking quite imposing.
Qian Renxue was surprised and unconsciously added a bit more force.
With a loud bang, both were sent flying backward at the same time.
Qian Renxue was deeply shocked inside. Although she hadn't used her full power, that level of strength was already beyond what ordinary soul masters could withstand.
She hadn't expected Jiang Chen's power to be so great that he could actually shake her back, even leaving her fist a little numb.
"As expected of her disciple." At this moment, her evaluation of Jiang Chen in her heart had risen extremely high.
But the higher her opinion of him, the more she wanted to teach him a lesson.
She had long hated Bibi Dong's lofty, disdainful attitude toward her. Now, encountering her disciple, how could she not strike a blow?
From childhood to now, she had longed for that woman's care and affection, but all she ever received were looks of disgust. She didn't understand why it was like this.
She wanted to vent her dissatisfaction, to demonstrate to that woman, to prove her own strength, and to see if that woman would show any emotion besides disgust when her disciple was beaten, would she get angry?
Poor Jiang Chen had no idea he had become Qian Renxue's punching bag. What awaited him was only a brutal thrashing.
After throwing one punch, Jiang Chen continued to flee. He had practically run all over the vast training field.
Qian Renxue guarded the doorway tightly, and the surrounding walls were over ten meters high, leaving him in despair.
Just as he was about to release his martial soul, Qian Renxue sent another punch his way. Jiang Chen's speed suddenly surged several times over in an instant. Unable to turn in time, he crashed straight into the thick wall.
This wall, made of who-knows-what stone, was hard as iron and nearly gave Jiang Chen a concussion.
Qian Renxue stopped, looking at Jiang Chen clutching his forehead and lying on the ground, her face full of confusion.
"Why did this guy's speed suddenly increase so much? And he stupidly crashed into the wall? Did he know he couldn't escape and tried to smash through it? But that wall is something even I can't break."
Countless questions popped up in Qian Renxue's mind. Seeing the pitiful state of Jiang Chen on the ground, she finally stopped attacking.
Just like Qian Renxue, Jiang Chen was also stunned. In that moment of being relentlessly pressured by Qian Renxue, a scene of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusions suddenly flashed through his mind. His speed exploded several times over, and then... he had an intimate encounter with the wall.
'Damn, what a wonderful movement technique.' Clutching his forehead, he stood up.
"Have you had enough? Can I leave now?" He was furious inside. If only he could beat this Qian Renxue, he would definitely pin her to the ground and give her a thorough rubdown.
Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Chen's face, now swollen to more than twice its normal size, and couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "pfft."
That peerlessly beautiful face suddenly bloomed into a smiling flower. If it were before, Jiang Chen would definitely have admired it thoroughly, but now he found that smile utterly detestable.
Realizing her lapse, Qian Renxue immediately suppressed her laughter, put on a stern face, and restored her icy expression.
"Go back and tell your teacher: if she wants revenge, let her come find me herself."
Holding back a belly full of anger, Jiang Chen left the place. With Little Black Sparrow's vision, he quickly figured out the direction and headed back toward the Pope's palace.
Now he finally understood: it turned out he had been beaten up by Qian Renxue, all because of Bibi Dong.
"What does your mother-daughter grudge have to do with me?" Jiang Chen almost shed bitter tears.
How was he supposed to face anyone looking like this now? This pig head was even bigger than the one Tang San had given him last time.
Moreover, when his soul power flowed to his face, the recovery effect was pitifully weak.
He lingered outside the Pope's palace, not daring to go in. It was way too embarrassing. He had just arrived and already gotten beaten into a pig's head.
"Little junior brother, where are you?" Hu Liena walked out of the palace and immediately spotted Jiang Chen not far away, who was just about to duck away.
