The Little Witch still wanted to quarrel. However, Qin Haodong asked, “Hongying, do you know each other?”

Luo Hongying said angrily, “She is Tu Jiaojiao, the one in second place at the South Academy in the competition between the North and South Academies.”

Qin Haodong glanced at Tu Jiaojiao. Although this woman looked coquettish and sexy, her strength was obvious. She really was at the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

The people behind her had all reached the middle and late stages of the Voiding Realm. It seemed that they were also students who came to participate in this event.

“Laddie, your roast meat looks good. Can you sell it to us?” Tu Jiaojiao licked her delicate red lips and said.

“Take it if you want. We’ve got more than we can eat.”

Although these people were all from the South Academy, they were also from the Tortoise Academy. They could be considered to be classmates.

Therefore, Qin Haodong was not stingy. With a slight shake of his palm, a roast fish, half a beggar’s chicken, and a roast hare flew over.

“Thank you, laddie!”

Tu Jiaojiao thanked him politely before reaching out to catch them.

Although these things were very hot, there was an invisible Genuine Qi in her palm. She didn’t feel the temperature of these things at all.

She distributed the roast meat to the people behind her. Then she grabbed some roast fish and put it in her mouth. Her beautiful eyes widened in an instant.

“Delicious! It’s really delicious. I’ve never eaten such delicious food before!”

After that, she no longer cared about her image of being a reserved beauty and began to eat the food ravenously.

“Bastard, he thinks that women are more important than friends!”

On the other side, Xue Pan cursed in a low voice. When he saw the students of the South Academy eating the meat, he almost died of anger.

Subconsciously, he thought that Qin Haodong only gave roast meat to women. However, he forgot that he and Qin Haodong were not friends at all.

At this moment, a few more figures rushed over from the distance. They were also five people.

The leader was a young man in his twenties. Although he looked a little handsome, his eyes were extremely fierce and his face was very arrogant.

They stopped by the river. The man sniffed. Then he saw Murong Jinghong sitting on a big rock and eating roast fish. He walked over and said, “Jinghong Fairy, I didn’t expect to see you here!”

This time, before Qin Haodong could speak, the Little Witch took the initiative to introduce, “This is You Wanjian, who ranked first in the last competition between the North and South Academies. Murong Jinghong has already lost twice to him.”

Tu Jiaojiao overheard their conversation and said, “What do you mean by ‘first place’? Last time, I was careless and lost by half a move to him. If there’s a competition this year, the first place will definitely be mine.”

Murong Jinghong frowned when she saw You Wanjian. “What are you doing here? My appetite is gone whenever I see you.”

Although You Wanjian was ridiculed, he was not very angry. He sneered and said, “Murong Jinghong, do you really think you are a superior fairy?

“Don’t forget our bet. You’ve already lost twice in a row to me. If you lose again in this year’s competition, then you’ll have to be my girlfriend.”

Murong Jinghong snorted coldly and said angrily, “You Wanjian, stop dreaming. I won’t lose to you this year anyway.”

“Strength decides the outcome. It’s useless to rely on anger alone. You made the same remark previously.”

After that, You Wanjian felt proud of himself for a moment. Then, he turned around and walked over to Qin Haodong.

“Brat, did you roast the meat?”

This guy’s attitude was both condescending and disdainful.

Qin Haodong frowned. Before he could speak, the Little Witch said angrily, “You Wanjian, my little brother roasted the meat but we won’t give it to you. It’s only to make your mouth water!”

“Your cultivation is just so-so but you’re quite good at roasting meat!”

You Wanjian said in a particularly domineering manner, “The roast meat is all mine. You can go and roast the meat yourselves again. This money is yours.”

After that, he raised his hand and threw 10 top-level Spirit Stones at Qin Haodong’s feet.

Qin Haodong’s frown deepened. This guy was really annoying. He said coldly, “If you want to eat, go and roast it yourself. I won’t sell mine.”

You Wanjian’s expression instantly turned cold. “Brat, do you know who you’re talking to? Sell it to me! Otherwise, you’ll just have to face the consequence.”

Tu Jiaojiao complained, “What are you doing? Are you a robber? What if he won’t sell it to you?”

You Wanjian glanced at her and said sarcastically, “Tu Jiaojiao, have you forgotten that we are from the South Academy? How dare you speak up for a gigolo? Have you taken a fancy to him?”

“So what if I like him? It’s none of your business!”

“Tu Jiaojiao, I’m going to teach this guy a lesson today. No one can protect him,” You Wanjian said to Qin Haodong, “I’m telling you one last time. Give me the roast meat or I’ll cripple you immediately!”

“How dare you!”

Tu Jiaojiao threw down the roast fish in her hand and jumped in front of Qin Haodong.

You Wanjian’s expression changed. “Tu Jiaojiao, do you really think I don’t dare to touch you?”

“Fight me if you dare. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Tu Jiaojiao’s temper was as fiery as her figure.

“You…”

You Wanjian was indeed afraid of Tu Jiaojiao. However, if he retreated just like that, he would lose face.

Right when his expression changed indeterminately, a black shadow suddenly flashed over swiftly from afar.

“Help, help…”

With a few shrill screams, the figure quickly landed in front of Qin Haodong and the others. It was a woman covered in blood.

It wasn’t very appropriate to say that she landed. In fact, she hit the ground hard. There were more than a dozen wounds of various sizes on the woman’s body. Her left arm had been completely broken by others.

After landing on the ground, her injuries were affected. She spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

Qin Haodong quickly put down the roast meat and carried the woman over. He first felt her pulse. Then, he took out the golden needles and quickly inserted them into several major acupoints on her chest.

With the nourishment of Green Wood Genuine Qi, the woman immediately opened her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, “Run! There are ghost slaves…”

Hearing the word ‘ghost slaves’, the expressions of all the people present changed. Only Qin Haodong did not understand what it meant.

He asked, “What is a ‘ghost slave’?”

The Little Witch said, “The ghost slave is the bodyguard of the Ghost Lord. Not only is his cultivation high, but he is also extremely cruel.”

Tu Jiaojiao said, “Ghost slaves usually appear in groups. Let’s go now. Or, it will be too late later!”

“Little girl, it’s too late!”

With an arrogant laugh, 12 men in black rushed over. They surrounded the people present.

These people wore ghost masks on their faces. Their black clothes were embroidered with the symbol of skulls. They held huge ghost head knives in their hands and looked extremely intimidating. They were ghost slaves from the Ghost King Sect.

Qin Haodong glanced at these people. Each of the 12 people was at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. Such strength could not be underestimated.

The leader of the ghost slaves scanned the crowd with great momentum. When he saw Murong Jinghong, Tu Jiaojiao, and the other beautiful women, he laughed and said, “Brothers, it seems that we are very lucky today.

“I thought we could find a girl to have fun with but I didn’t expect to find so many at once. Today, we can have a good time.”

The other ghost slaves laughed arrogantly as well.

Murong Jinghong pulled out the Jinghong Sword on her back and said with a cold look, “You people from the Ghost King Sect usually carry out a lot of evil deeds. Get out of here. Or, we won’t be polite.”

“You are a woman who doesn’t know your own limits. You dare to be enemies with us? I’ll let you know what it means to live a life worse than death.”

The leading ghost slave waved his hand and said, “Brothers, let’s do it now. Kill all the men and keep the women. Let’s have a good time later.”

Then, he brandished the big knife in his hand and rushed toward Murong Jinghong.

“Go to hell!”

Faced with these ghost slaves, Murong Jinghong’s killing intent surged. She wielded the Jinghong Sword in her hand.

Jinghong Sword was extremely sharp. With a crisp sound, it instantly cut the ghost head knife in the ghost slave’s hand into two pieces.

The leading ghost slave was shocked. He shouted to the man next to him, “This woman is powerful. Let’s join forces!”

So another ghost slave jumped over. The two joined forces to attack Murong Jinghong.

The ghost slaves were all at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. Their cultivation was almost the same as Murong Jinghong’s. The two joined forces and the tables were turned immediately. Murong Jinghong could only rely on the power of the Jinghong Sword and could barely defend herself.

On the other side, You Wanjian and Tu Jiaojiao also pounced on these ghost slaves. Both of them had the cultivation at the final stage of the Voiding Realm. They were also in a one-on-two fight and respectively fought against two ghost slaves at the same time.

However, they did not have the Jinghong Sword in their hands. In a one-on-one fight, they had a certain advantage but they were immediately at a disadvantage in a one-on-two fight.

Among the students present, only three had reached the final stage of the Voiding Realm. The rest were not as good as the ghost slaves.

The four students brought by Tu Jiaojiao joined forces to fight against a ghost slave. Also, the four people brought by You Wanjian fought against a ghost slave. Xiao Yulong, Xue Pan, and He Kaishan started fighting against a ghost slave, too.

The remaining three ghost slaves rushed toward Qin Haodong. Fang Qiong’er and Yun Qianqian shouted and went to fight with a ghost slave.

However, at the stage of the Voiding Realm, the gap between each level was huge. Although the two joined forces, they were no match for the ghost slave. As soon as they fought, they were at a disadvantage and in danger.

Qin Haodong looked around coldly. As long as he took the Great Energy Explosion Pill, he could instantly reach the late stage of the Combination Realm. It would be easy for him to kill these ghost slaves.

It was just that the Great Energy Explosion Pill was his final trump card. He didn’t want to use it unless he had no other choice. Moreover, outside the academy, there were both good and evil people. There was a lot of danger.

After taking the Great Energy Explosion Pill, his power increased. However, there would be a period of weakness afterward. At that time, his fate would not be in his own hands.

Although he trusted Fang Qiong’er, the Little Witch, and the others, they could not guarantee his safety.

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately swallowed the Little Energy Explosion Pill and raised his cultivation to the final stage of the Voiding Realm.

With his ability, he was invincible when he fought with the cultivators who were at the same level as him. If it was one against one, it would be easy for him to kill these ghost slaves.

However, he did not dare to attack rashly, because he had to protect Zhao Xingyue and the Little Witch, who were behind him. Now there was another injured woman. Once these women were taken hostage by the ghost slaves, it would be difficult to deal with that.

So he could only stand there and protect the three women behind him, waiting for an opportunity to move.

In the face of these aggressive ghost slaves, Zhao Xingyue was so scared that she did not know what to do. She grasped Qin Haodong’s arms tightly with her small hands. Her body trembled.

Meanwhile, the Little Witch had long since taken out her crystal ball and opened the Gate of Life within the hexagram.

Qin Haodong looked up. If the little girl could summon a powerful monster this time, the situation would immediately change.

The Gate of Life opened and a black shadow came out. When Qin Haodong saw it clearly, he was immediately discouraged. The Little Witch had summoned a fat piglet without any fighting power.

When the piglet saw the situation in front of it, it seemed to be frightened and scuttled toward the Little Witch’s feet.

“Useless trash! Go away!”

Seeing that her summoning skill failed again, the Little Witch couldn’t restrain her anger. She kicked the piglet into the Gate of Life.
