Chapter 913 - The Final Say
Chapter 913 The Final Say
You Wanjian ignored the furious Murong Jinghong. He brought her to the side. At the same time, he said to the other students next to him, “Senior Xiahou is a master at the stage of the Combination Realm. You can’t fight against him at all. If you’re smart, step aside with me. I believe that Senior Xiahou has the demeanor of a senior and won’t make things difficult for you.”
Seeing a person suddenly standing on his side, Xiahou Hongfei was very happy. Although he had reached the stage of the Combination Realm, these students would not be easy to deal with if they gathered together.
Now that they were divided into two sides, things became much simpler.
He smiled and nodded. “Not bad, young man. You’re quite knowledgeable! It’s the same for everyone else. As long as all of you stand aside, I’ll absolutely not make things difficult for all of you.”
You Wanjian shouted again, “Did you hear that? Come to me quickly, especially the students of the South Academy. We don’t know that good-for-nothing at all. It’s not worth dying for her.”
As the two of them echoed each other, the four students of the South Academy that You Wanjian brought immediately retreated to his side.
The four men brought along by Tu Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment before retreating. Even Xiao Yulong and Xue Pan walked behind You Wanjian.
After all, Xiahou Hongfei and Xiahou Zhen were not ghost slaves. They really did not need to risk their lives for a stranger like Zhao Xingyue.
“Are… are you guys still men?!”
Tu Jiaojiao was about to go crazy with anger. She didn’t expect these students from the same academy to be so irresponsible.
With 10 people walking away all of a sudden, Zhao Xingyue’s surroundings seemed empty.
Zhong Xiaodie held her long sword and shouted, “I don’t care about the others. As long as you want to take Sister Xingyue away, you have to get by me first.”
Tu Jiaojiao sternly added, “There’s still me. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you harm the junior sister of our academy.”
Xiahou Zhen pursed his lips and sneered. “You two women really don’t know your place. Do you want to fight against my father with your strength? You are daydreaming.
“Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll take you back with me too and let you know the consequence of offending me.”
“Courting death! I’ll kill you first?”
With an angry shout, Tu Jiaojiao pounced on Xiahou Zhen together with Zhong Xiaodie.
Without Murong Jinghong and You Wanjian, two masters at the stage of the Voiding Realm, the plan they had just drafted had no possibility of success, so they could only change their strategy and pounce on Xiahou Zhen together.
As long as he could be captured, the current crisis could be solved. However, it was a pity that Xiahou Hongfei, who was at the stage of the Combination Realm, was standing next to him.
“Little girls, you overestimate yourselves. Get lost!”
Xiahou Hongfei suddenly appeared in front of Xiahou Zhen. With a flick of his sleeve, he sent both girls flying with an invisible force.
Xiahou Zhen gave a triumphant laugh. “Now you know you’re nothing. You two want to stand up to my father? You’re dreaming!”
Xiahou Hongfei put his hands behind his back and said with great momentum, “My son can do whatever he wants today. I’ll kill anyone who dares to resist!”
The father and son were complacent and did not notice two black shadows suddenly appearing behind them.
When Qin Haodong and the Little Witch came back, they saw the scene in front of them and immediately understood what had happened.
He didn’t expect that there would be trouble as soon as he left for a night. They wanted to take Zhao Xingyue away. Qin Haodong was filled with killing intent.
“Old man, go to hell!”
Instead of using his trump card, the Great Energy Explosion Pill, he directly summoned the seventh-level demonic beast, the Three-legged Golden Toad.
“Goo-ga…”
Seemingly to have sensed the rage within its master’s heart, after appearing, the huge front claw of the Three-legged Golden Toad trod firmly on Xiahou Hongfei.
Xiahou Hongfei, who was showing off, felt that something was wrong. He turned around and found a huge claw coming down on him like a mountain.
Frightened out of his wits, he circulated his Genuine Qi madly and struck out two palms to meet the incoming attack.
The Three-legged Golden Toad, who possessed the bloodline of the dragon race, was now invincible among the seventh-level demonic beasts. Its strength was not inferior to that of a master at the final stage of the Combination Realm. How could Xiahou Hongfei, who was at the early stage of the Combination Realm, fight against it?
“Crack… crack…”
Along with the clear sound of bones breaking, Xiahou Hongfei’s arm instantly broke into four pieces.
Immediately after, there was another huge boom. The front claw of the Three-legged Golden Toad did not stop at all and directly trod him onto the ground. This where made him turn into a pile of muddy flesh.
Seeing Xiahou Hongfei’s flesh and blood flowing down the giant feet of the Three-legged Golden Toad, the others were stunned.
No one thought that Qin Haodong would come back at this time, let alone that he possessed such a powerful fierce beast.
You Wanjian and others had been standing next to them, watching the show with gloating eyes. They thought that Tu Jiaojiao and others would suffer a great loss. However, they did not expect that Qin Haodong would suddenly appear and the strong Xiahou Hongfei would die so miserably.
“Big Brother Qin, you are back!”
Zhao Xingyue screamed and jumped into Qin Haodong’s arms. She was really scared just now. Only by being with this man could she feel secure.
“Don’t be afraid. No one can hurt you as long as I’m here.”
Qin Haodong comforted Zhao Xingyue and turned to look at Xiahou Zhen.
“You… You…”
The arrogant young master of the Xiahou family was scared out of his wits. His father, who had always protected him, was killed. He had nothing to rely on now.
The Little Witch’s hands were on her hips. She looked at him angrily, saying, “You’re such a coward, and how dare you want to kidnap my Sister Xingyue? Are you tired of living?”
Xiahou Zhen took a few steps back and shouted fiercely, “Let me tell you. My uncle is Xiahou Hongxiang, the general of the Golden Horse City. You killed my father now. My uncle will not let you go.”
“What a fool!” Qin Haodong looked at him disdainfully and said, “What’s your point in saying that? How will it help, except to let me kill you?”
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! As long as you let me go, I will ask my uncle…” Xiahou Zhen said in a trembling voice.
“You are stupid but don’t think that others are stupid too!”
Of course, Qin Haodong did not believe what Xiahou Zhen said. Since he had killed Xiahou Hongfei, he had formed an unsolvable feud with Xiahou Hongxiang. It would only make him an extra enemy if he let Xiahou Zhen go.
He waved his hand. The Three-legged Golden Toad also trod on him. Then, Xiahou Zhen became a pile of muddy flesh, too.
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Tu Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief. She stepped forward and said, “Brother Qin, it’s lucky that you came back in time. Otherwise, we would have been in big trouble today.”
Qin Haodong asked, “What the hell is going on?”
Fang Qiong’er told him what had happened from beginning to end and finally said, “You Wanjian, that bastard, not only did he not help us, but he also kidnapped Murong Jinghong. We must not let him off.”
Qin Haodong’s face turned cold in an instant. He had saved this guy time and time again. He was not grateful. On the contrary, he was making trouble for him repeatedly. It was time to settle this debt.
But when he turned his head, You Wanjian and the other eight students were gone, leaving only Murong Jinghong, whose acupoints were locked, standing there.
The Little Witch scolded angrily, “Son of a bitch, you ran so fast.”
When Qin Haodong killed Xiahou Hongfei and Xiahou Zhen in succession, You Wanjian realized that the turn of events was not going well. Thus, he ran away without hesitation. The other eight people also knew that they would not have a good ending if they still stayed here, so they ran with You Wanjian, too.
Compared with Xiahou Zhen, You Wanjian was still very scheming. He knew that if he took Murong Jinghong away, he would definitely be pursued crazily by Qin Haodong. Therefore, he locked her acupoints and didn’t take her away.
Qin Haodong went over to unlock her acupoints and asked, “Jinghong Fairy, are you okay?”
Murong Jinghong said angrily, “I’m fine, but unfortunately, You Wanjian, that bastard, ran away.”
“Don’t worry! It’s not the time to deal with him. People like him will be punished sooner or later.”
Qin Haodong said to Tu Jiaojiao, Zhong Xiaodie, Murong Jinghong, and the others, “Thank you for your help!”
Murong Jinghong said, “We’re all classmates from the same academy. It’s our duty to help.”
Zhong Xiaodie said, “Big Brother Qin, you don’t have to be polite with me. You saved my life. It’s my duty to do something for you.”
“There’s no need for thanks,” Tu Jiaojiao said. “I’m all alone now. It looks like I can only follow you from now on.”
Qin Haodong said, “Since we are out of the Tortoise Academy, there is no distinction between the South Academy and the North Academy. We are all classmates, so there is no need to be polite.”
After the matter was resolved, everyone packed their equipment and rushed toward Pagoda Mountain.
Just as they left, two silhouettes appeared on a big tree behind them. They were the two Associate Directors of the Tortoise Academy, Luo Dongqing and Hai Zhengming.
Because of the sudden appearance of the Ghost King Sect, as the people in charge of the Tortoise Academy, they certainly could not ignore their students out and leave them alone.
Especially for Luo Dongqing, his granddaughter was outside. If she lost a hair, he would not be able to explain it to that protective old lady.
Ever since Qin Haodong and the others left the Tortoise Academy, the two of them had been secretly protecting them. However, unless there was no other choice, they would not come out and help.
Hai Zhengming said, “I was about to act just now. I didn’t expect that this little guy suddenly rushed back with a seventh-level demonic beast.
“His demonic beast is really very powerful. Even with my cultivation at the late stage of the Combination Realm, I’m afraid I won’t be able to win. I really don’t know where he found this treasure.”
“This little guy really did surprise me.” Luo Dongqing smacked his lips. “That Three-legged Golden Toad was originally a fifth-level demonic beast. How did it suddenly become a seventh-level demonic beast?”
Hai Zhengming said, “Looks like he didn’t go on a date with Hongying last night, but to help this demonic beast improve its cultivation.”
Luo Dongqing nodded. They had followed Qin Haodong to see what was going on after he left yesterday. However, Qin Haodong had set up an invisible formation, so they could not see what was happening inside.
Hai Zhengming said, “But now it’s a little tricky. Qin Haodong killed Xiahou Hongfei. With the behavior style of the Xiahou family, they will definitely not let it go.”
Luo Dongqing gave a cold humph and said, “What is there to be afraid of? Could it be that our Tortoise Academy is afraid of his Golden Horse City?”
“There’s no need to be afraid. It is just a bit troublesome,” Hai Zhengming said. “You Wanjian from the South Academy really has a despicable attitude, from the way he treated people, even if they were from the same academy.”
“I thought he was talented, but I didn’t expect him to be so bad.”
Luo Dongqing said with a gloomy face, “This kind of person must be driven out. I’ll tell the old lady when I get back. Let her teach this brat a lesson.”
Hai Zhengming sneered and said, “Old Luo, can you cut down on the big talk? Everyone knows that you’re henpecked. You can’t even speak up when you get home.”
Luo Dongqing said with a red face, “who said that? It is just a rumor. I have the final say at home.”
Hai Zhengming said playfully, “Stop it. We have been together for so many years. Everyone knows you. The so-called ‘the final say’ is that you can say, but my sister-in-law ultimately makes the final decision…”
