Chapter 945 - Killed by a Single Punch
Chapter 945 Killed by a Single Punch
After sensing Qin Haodong’s strength, Zhao Xingyue, who had been very worried, finally felt relieved.
She said to Zhangsun Chengdu, “Just now you said that my Big Brother Qin can take pills at will. You will not go back on your words now, right?”
Zhangsun Chengdu didn’t speak but his expression turned ugly. He bought this Great Energy Explosion Pill from the President of the Alchemist Association in Tortoise Kingdom. How could it be inferior to the one that Qin Haodong had swallowed?
On the arena, Qin Haodong glanced at Chen Ruyi. “I’ll give you another chance. I’ll spare your life if you give up and step down from the arena now.”
“Boy, you are the one who will die!”
Chen Ruyi let out an angry roar. The Great Energy Explosion Pill he had swallowed just now made him feel unprecedentedly powerful. Although Qin Haodong seemed to be much stronger, Qin Haodong was definitely inferior to him in his heart.
Thus, he once again used the Eight-armed Divine Dragon Fist when his cultivation reached the final stage of the Combination Realm.
After he issued one punch, there were seven arms, which was a higher level than just now. Moreover, the momentum of the fist shadows all over the sky was quite overwhelming.
“The divine dragon is coming!”
After another roar, the fist shadows all over the sky actually condensed into a giant dragon. It opened its mouth and pounced on Qin Haodong.
Seeing the power of this punch, Zhao Xingyue, who had just calmed down, immediately became nervous again. She stared at the arena with her beautiful eyes.
“You’ll have to abide by the consequence!”
Qin Haodong also threw a punch. His punch looked very slow and ordinary. However, after colliding with the giant dragon, that giant dragon broke down in an instant.
“Ah…”
Then, Chen Ruyi’s heart-wrenching scream could be heard. His body shot from the arena like a shooting star and hit the ground with a plop.
Of course, it was better that Wu Yuenian had fewer henchmen, so Qin Haodong did not hold back at all. His punch directly shattered Chen Ruyi’s internal organs.
Chen Ruyi fell to the ground and vomited out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs. Before the others could come to his rescue, he had died.
Everyone was stunned. They had not expected that Qin Haodong would have such great power after taking a pill. He ended Chen Ruyi’s life with just one punch.
Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian became very perturbed. They did not care about Chen Ruyi’s death. What they cared about was that their plan had failed badly.
As long as they did not have total control over Zhao Xingyue, Zhao Xingyue would pose a threat to their son, Zhao Yu.
“Ruyi…”
Chen Xuanling, who had walked on air earlier, let out a sorrowful cry and rushed to Chen Ruyi’s side.
As soon as he saw that his son had died, his eyes suddenly turned red. He shouted angrily at Qin Haodong in the arena, “This is just a martial arts competition. I didn’t expect you to be so cruel. You killed my son. I’ll kill you.”
After that, he pounced on Qin Haodong in the arena. However, the chief steward, Si Baokun knocked him back with one palm.
“Your Excellency, this is a competition held by His Majesty. What are you trying to do?”
Only then did Chen Xuanling realize that he had forgotten himself. He knelt down on the ground with a flop and shouted at Zhao Xianlong sitting in the stand, “Your Majesty, this man is so cruel. He killed my son Chen Ruyi. Please uphold justice for me.”
After seeing that Qin Haodong had won, Zhao Xianlong was overjoyed but he didn’t let it show on his face.
He looked gloomily at Chen Xuanling and said, “Why should I uphold justice for you? Didn’t you hear the rules which were announced earlier by Imperial Preceptor?
“An accident is inevitable in the course of the competition. It is permissible if one of them dies. Chen Ruyi’s death can only be blamed on his low strength. How can you blame anyone else?
“You’re yelling and screaming like this now. Ridiculous!”
“This…”
Chen Xuanling was speechless. He turned to look at Zhangsun Chengdu and hoped that his boss would stand up for his son.
But just now, Zhao Xianlong had already trapped Zhangsun Chengdu. The rules were announced by him. He also said it was permissible if one of them died. Now Chen Ruyi was dead. He couldn’t say anything.
Therefore, Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian could only shift their gazes away. They didn’t look at Chen Xuanling.
Zhao Xianlong said, “What are you doing here? Hurry up and prepare for your son’s funeral.”
After speaking, he said to Si Baokun in the arena, “Today’s competition has ended. Announce the result!”
Si Baokun understood and announced loudly to the people around the arena at once, “Qin Haodong won today’s competition. From now on, he will be the son-in-law of our Tortoise Kingdom!”
“Wow…”
The crowd immediately burst into cheers. Most of the courtiers of Tortoise Kingdom were still loyal to Zhao Xianlong. Hearing this result, these people were extremely excited, exchanged high-fives to celebrate, and their cheers continued. Only Wu Yuenian and Zhangsun Chengdu sitting in the stand looked more and more depressed.
Zhao Xianlong glanced at Zhangsun Chengdu with a smile. “Imperial Preceptor, I finally have a son-in-law. Aren’t you happy?”
Zhangsun Chengdu tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said with a strange expression, “I’m certainly happy that our Tortoise Kingdom has a son-in-law. However, I caught a cold last night and feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable. I’ll take my leave first.”
Zhao Xianlong laughed inwardly. The other side was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. It could be said that he was almost immune to all diseases. How could he have caught a cold?
Zhao Xianlong knew that his opponent’s plan had failed, but he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. It was definitely a good thing for him that his opponent wasn’t happy.
He happily said, “Well, Imperial Preceptor is the pillar of Tortoise Kingdom. You must protect yourself well. Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Then I will take my leave!”
After that, Zhangsun Chengdu strode out of the Martial Arts Practice Field.
After going out, he immediately waved his hand and called his four disciples behind him.
These four people were his direct disciples. Their cultivation had reached the stage of the Combination Realm. They were famous in the Tortoise City and were known as the Four Great Vajrapanis.
“Master, what’s the matter?” the chief disciple, Ni Heng, asked.
Zhangsun Chengdu said with a grim look, “Qin Haodong ruined my plan. You four go and kill him together so there will not be any more problems later on.”
Ni Heng was also at the Martial Arts Practice Field just now and had clearly seen the whole process. He worriedly said, “Master, Qin Haodong’s cultivation can be promoted to the final stage of the Combination Realm after eating a Great Energy Explosion Pill. The four of us seem to be no match for him. It’s safer for you to do it.”
Zhangsun Chengdu said, “You don’t have to worry about that. Although the Great Energy Explosion Pill can greatly improve his cultivation, it can only be used once in 12 hours. What’s more, there will be a long period of weakness.
“Qin Haodong is now in a weak state. He is no different from an ordinary person. It is not difficult for you to kill him. What you should pay attention to is to keep it a secret. Don’t get caught by the Tortoise royal family.”
“Yes, master,” Ni Heng replied and left with his three brothers.
On the other side of the palace, the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. Everyone congratulated Zhao Xianlong.
Zhao Xingyue finally felt relieved. She glanced at Qin Haodong. Then, she left the scene in embarrassment.
This was just a competition for marrying the Princess, not an engagement ceremony or a wedding ceremony, so everyone quickly dispersed after the celebration. Qin Haodong also left the palace with the Little Witch and the others. They walked to the courier station.
The Little Witch took Qin Haodong’s arm and said with a smile, “Little Brother, you are now the son-in-law of Tortoise Kingdom. Are you happy?”
Men were superior to women in Tortoise Kingdom. Polygamy was a common occurrence. Someone like Luo Dongqing, who married only one wife and was extremely henpecked, was definitely very rare.
Therefore, even though Qin Haodong won the competition and would marry the Princess, the other girls did not care. That was because they still had a chance to marry their sweetheart.
Qin Haodong’s mood was extremely complicated. The purpose of this competition was to help Zhao Xingyue. He had not figured out how to face her feelings in his heart.
The Little Witch didn’t know what he was feeling right now and continued with a smile, “When I get back to the academy, I will also hold a marriage competition. At that time, you will have to fight for me.”
“Uh…”
Qin Haodong was speechless. He really didn’t know what was on this little girl’s mind.
The Tortoise City was extremely quiet at night. In addition, it was not like modern earth. Therefore, there were no street lights in the city. Only the lanterns in their hands lit the way for them.
It was not a long way from the palace to the courier station. However, it was forbidden to fly here, so they had to walk for a while.
Halfway there, Qin Haodong suddenly felt something and realized that some people had been following him.
Needless to say, he knew that these people must have been sent by Zhangsun Chengdu and Wu Yuenian. They would not be so easily reconciled to losing this competition. It was expected that they would do something shameful.
At this time, he was in a weak state after using the Great Energy Explosion Pill. He had no cultivation at all now. The Little Witch was an unreliable summoner.
Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and the others were all at the stage of the Voiding Realm, so they could not put up any resistance against masters at the stage of the Combination Realm.
In this way, the situation became extremely dangerous. Once they began to attack, these girls would not be able to help him but would also be hurt.
He had already figured out how to deal with the killers following them. However, the urgent thing to do now was to separate himself from these girls.
Thinking of this, he suddenly covered his stomach and cried, “My stomach hurts badly. I have to go to the toilet. You go back first.”
Tu Jiaojiao said, “How could this be? We’ll wait for you here.”
Qin Haodong said, “No, I may have eaten something bad. It will take a long time. You can go back first.”
These girls thought about it. It was indeed not so dignified to wait for a man who was in the toilet, so they didn’t think much and returned to the courier station first.
After they left, Qin Haodong turned back and shouted, “Since you’re here, come out. There’s no need to hide.”
“Boy, you’re quite alert. Since you’re in a hurry to die, let us send you on the way.”
Just then, four figures appeared from the darkness. Every one of them wore a ghost mask.
With a thought, Qin Haodong took out an AK from his Storage Ring. Then, he said to the four of them, “Who are you?”
They had never seen a gun before, let alone know what its power was like. They didn’t care when they saw Qin Haodong take it out.
The leader said, “Can’t you see that we’re from the Ghost King Sect?”
Qin Haodong said, “Do you want the Ghost King Sect to take the blame again? Tell me the truth. The one who asked you to kill me is Wu Yuenian or Zhangsun Chengdu?”
These people were indeed not from the Ghost King Sect. The leader was Zhangsun Chengdu’s chief disciple, Ni Heng.
He said, “Boy, you’re really smart but smart people usually don’t live long. As for who we are, you can ask Yama when you die later.”
“Senior Brother, why talk so much nonsense with this boy? I’ll send him to hell now.”
The one who spoke was the fourth of the Four Great Vajrapanis. This guy was tall and strong. In addition, he practiced external martial arts, so he was as strong as a bear.
After that, he reached out his hand which was as big as a cattail leaf fan and grabbed Qin Haodong’s neck.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
As soon as he reached out, Qin Haodong pulled the trigger.
