Chapter 922 - Breakthrough of the Inner Demon
Chapter 922 Breakthrough of the Inner Demon
If it were in the past, she would be extremely polite to Zhao Xingyue. However, at the moment, in order to incite Zhao Xingyue’s courage, she could only use this kind of goading method.
Unfortunately, it turned out that this method still didn’t work. Zhao Xingyue squatted on the ground, pale and shivering, like a frightened lamb. She did not look like a master at the late stage of the Voiding Realm at all.
He Kaishan laughed proudly. “Luo Hongying, don’t waste your efforts. Trash will always be trash! You can’t count on her at all.”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “Two brothers, any further delay may cause trouble. Let’s take action as soon as possible in case someone comes later.”
He Kaishan nodded and strode toward Qin Haodong with murderous intent in his eyes.
The Little Witch raised the Killing Immortal Sword in her hand. She nervously said, “Don’t come over. Or, I will take action.”
He Kaishan had already reached the middle stage of the Voiding Realm, while the Little Witch was just a warrior at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm when she couldn’t use her summoning skill. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Their cultivation levels were worlds apart.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand being relieved of its weight. The Killing Immortal Sword was already in He Kaishan’s hand. Then she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Next, she was kicked, flew across, and hit the wall dozens of meters away.
With the Killing Immortal Sword in his hand, He Kaishan stepped toward Qin Haodong.
Seeing that Qin Haodong was about to be killed, Zhao Xingyue stood in front of Qin Haodong and pleaded, “Please, let my Big Brother Qin go. We can give you all our treasures.”
The Little Witch crawled up from the ground and shouted with a face full of resentment, “Sister Xingyue, kill him! Don’t beg!”
“This trash? You’re still placing your hope on her? You’re truly overthinking things!”
He Kaishan had been in the same team with Zhao Xingyue and the others before, so he knew her very well. He knew that although this woman was very talented, she didn’t dare to fight at all. Thus, he did not bother about her at all.
“Useless trash! Get out of my way!”
He kicked Zhao Xingyue away and strode toward Qin Haodong. He pointed the Killing Immortal Sword at Qin Haodong’s chest. “Qin Haodong, aren’t you awesome? Don’t you have the director to back you up? How about now? I’ll send you to hell.”
Seeing that her little brother was about to die on the spot, the Little Witch let out a heartbreaking cry, “No!”
Zhao Xingyue lay on the ground nearby and stared blankly into space
At that moment, all the scenes of her being with Qin Haodong flashed by like a movie.
The first time they met, he killed the Dragon Scale Python to save her. Then he took care of her meticulously, gave her delicious food, didn’t mind she had no money and paid her tuition fees, and finally vomited blood in order to protect her.
“She’s my teammate. I will never abandon her…”
“Men are born to protect women!”
“He’s the person I love the most. I want to grow old with him.”
On the first floor of the pagoda, the illusion Zhao Xingyue saw was that she and Qin Haodong helped each other out in difficult times and grew old together.
At this moment, a voice sounded in her heart, “Zhao Xingyue, you are not a good-for-nothing. Big Brother Qin has protected you for so long. Now it’s your turn to protect him!”
“Kill him! Brother He, quickly kill this brat!” Dong Zhenjiang shouted desperately from the side.
He Kaishan looked at Qin Haodong with a sneer. He was now the master of the entire pagoda. With a twist of his wrist, the Killing Immortal Sword stabbed down fiercely.
Just as the tip of the Killing Immortal Sword was about to pierce Qin Haodong’s throat, a foot suddenly came from the sky and kicked the Killing Immortal Sword away. Then, another palm mercilessly hit He Kaishan’s chest.
He Kaishan flew out like a kite with a cut string. He began to vomit blood as he flew through the air. The Killing Immortal Sword fell to the ground with a clang.
“Who is it? Who attacked me?”
He Kaishan covered his chest with his hand and felt as if his chest had shattered. He looked up and saw Zhao Xingyue standing in front of Qin Haodong.
Zhao Xingyue was no longer the cowardly girl from before. Her eyes were blood red. Her entire body emitted a chilling desire to kill.
“How could this be? She’s a good-for-nothing. She’s a coward. How could she dare to attack me?”
He Kaishan didn’t want to believe what he saw but the gut-wrenching pain in his chest told him that this was real.
At that moment, thoughts about Qin Haodong’s safety helped Zhao Xingyue overcome her inner demon and fill her heart with courage.
She said coldly, “I’ll kill whoever dares to hurt my Big Brother Qin!”
“You trash! You dare to fight back?!”
Dong Zhenhai shouted angrily. He raised his hand to hit Zhao Xingyue in the face.
He had not realized that Zhao Xingyue had grown into a powerful warrior who was at the late stage of the Voiding Realm.
“Want to kill my Big Brother Qin? Go to hell!”
Dong Zhenhai was only a warrior at the early stage of the Voiding Realm. Zhao Xingyue did not dare to make a move before but once she mustered her courage, he could not even block a single move of hers. After being sent flying by her single palm strike, his entire chest caved in.
He was no longer breathing by the time he landed on the ground.
“Brother!”
Dong Zhenjiang let out a scream and drew out his long sword to stab Zhao Xingyue.
At this time, Zhao Xingyue seemed like a female devil. For the sake of saving the person dear to her heart, she did not care even if she had to make enemies of all the gods and Buddhas.
Dong Zhenjiang was just a warrior at the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. By contrast, his cultivation was even lower. Zhao Xingyue disappeared as soon as he tried to stab her with his sword.
Then there was a cracking sound in his ear. His neck was broken. His body fell to the ground with a plop.
After killing the Dong brothers one after another, Zhao Xingyue had no intention of stopping. With a wave of her hand, the Killing Immortal Sword appeared in her hand. She lifted the sword and walked toward He Kaishan, one step at a time.
He Kaishan panicked. He never thought that he would die in Zhao Xingyue’s hands one day. She was just a good-for-nothing who was as timid as a mouse. How did she suddenly become such a female devil?
“Don’t come over. Please, don’t kill me…”
But before he could finish his words, the Killing Immortal Sword had pierced his throat.
Even until the moment of his death, He Kaishan didn’t close his eyes. He didn’t seem to understand how he had died at the hands of a good-for-nothing.
After overcoming her inner demon, Zhao Xingyue became murderous. It was only when she looked back and saw Qin Haodong lying on the ground, then there was a flash of gentleness in her eyes.
“You’re the best, Sister Xingyue!”
The Little Witch cheered and rushed to Zhao Xingyue. She kissed her hard on the cheek. “Sister Xingyue, you are no longer a coward. You’re the one who saved us!”
Zhao Xingyue’s killing intent faded away. A hint of shyness flashed across her face.
At this moment, another clear voice rang out, “Xingyue, you have finally grown up.”
Zhao Xingyue turned her head and saw that it was Qin Haodong who had spoken. At this time, he sat up from the ground and was looking at her with a smile.
“Big Brother Qin, you are finally awake.”
She ran over happily and hugged Qin Haodong’s arm. It seemed that she had returned to being the shy little girl she was before.
The Little Witch also rushed over. She hugged his other arm and asked, “Little Brother, when did you wake up?”
Qin Haodong said, “Just now, when He Kaishan wanted to kill me!”
Although Zhong Xiaodie’s Spirit self-destruction had caused him a very serious internal injury, his Green-Wood Eternal Body had a unique advantage in recovery and had been constantly repairing his injured meridians.
Just as He Kaishan was about to kill Qin Haodong, he was woken up by the strong murderous intent and saw Zhao Xingyue’s eruption.
Zhao Xingyue said guiltily, “Big Brother Qin, I’m sorry. You got hurt because I dragged you down.”
“You’ve finally overcome your inner demon. That’s good!” Qin Haodong stood up and said, “I’ll treat everyone’s injuries first.”
Although he had only recovered half of his strength, the injuries of the others were even more serious. If he did not treat them in time, their lives might be in danger.
Among them, Murong Jinghong was the most seriously injured. You Wanjian’s sword almost pierced through her right chest. Fortunately, the Little Witch locked the acupoints for her. Otherwise, she would have bled to death by now.
Qin Haodong took out his silver needles and treated Murong Jinghong in a hurry.
About an hour later, Murong Jinghong, Tu Jiaojiao, Fang Qiong’er, Yun Qianqian, and the others had all been treated. All that was left was for them to heal slowly.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one was killed. If these girls died because of him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
After treating everyone, the Little Witch said, “Little Brother, shouldn’t we hurry and carry out the soul interrogation for entering the seventh floor? Otherwise, I’m afraid someone will come here again.”
Zhao Xingyue said, “Big Brother Qin hasn’t recovered yet. I’m not injured. I’ll go first.”
“Xingyue, you’re much braver than before!” Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I don’t know what unknown dangers are on the seventh floor. I’ll go up first.”
Zhao Xingyue said worriedly, “But you haven’t fully recovered yet.”
Qin Haodong said, “It doesn’t matter. I’m half recovered. I’m now clear-headed and can summon the Three-legged Golden Toad to fight at any time. It’s a seventh-level demonic beast, stronger than you.”
After that, he strode to the center of the pagoda and stepped into the light circle of the soul interrogation.
“Welcome to the soul interrogation. You are warned that you must answer truthfully. If you lie, both your soul and spirit will be destroyed.”
Not long after, the voice rang again and started asking questions, “What is your name? Where are you from?”
Qin Haodong stopped hiding and said, “My name is Qin Haodong. I’m from Earth.”
The voice asked again, “Who is the person you love the most?”
“Well…” Qin Haodong was a little hesitant. He had parents, a daughter, and so many girlfriends who loved him. He really couldn’t tell which one he loved most for a while.
At the same time this question was asked, several girls present stared at Qin Haodong’s face, looking forward to hearing the answer he would say.
The voice spoke again, “You only have 30 seconds to answer each question. There are only 10 seconds left. If you cannot give an accurate answer, you will be considered to have given up this opportunity.”
Qin Haodong said, “There is no single person I love the most. I love many people. They are not ranked in my heart.”
After that, his whole body tensed up. He was afraid that his answer would make the other party dissatisfied.
“The third question…”
The soul interrogation continued to ask questions. Obviously, he agreed with Qin Haodong’s answer and did not think that he was lying.
After hearing this answer, the girls present looked at each other. He loved a lot of people. Did he mean that all of us were his lovers?
The questions of the soul interrogation were random and all very private, so Qin Haodong answered truthfully.
After asking a few more questions, the voice spoke again, “You’ve passed the soul interrogation. However, you’re still not allowed to enter the seventh floor for the time being. After everyone has finished answering these questions, you’ll undergo the final interrogation. Please leave now.”
It turned out that one could not enter the seventh floor even after going through the soul interrogation. Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the light circle.
He glanced at the girls and was worried that they would ask him where he came from.
