Luo Dongqing’s gaze fell onto the golden skull embroidered on the sleeve of the man. Then, he asked, “I did not expect that the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect would turn up here. What are you doing in our Tortoise Kingdom?”

A burst of laughter erupted from the man with the golden mask. “Do you even need to ask? I certainly came here to send all of you to hell.”

Luo Dongqing’s expression suddenly changed. “Although you are the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect, our Tortoise Academy is not easy to bully.

“If you really annoy the Director of our academy, we will wipe out your Ghost King Sect.”

Hearing this, doubt rose in Qin Haodong’s heart. Since he came to Tortoise Academy, the South Academy had been under the jurisdiction of Ouyang Lan. The North Academy was under Luo Dongqing’s charge.

However, both of them were the Associate Directors of the Tortoise Academy. He had never seen the Director.

“Are you talking about the old devil, Tong Haichuan? He hasn’t shown up for 10 years. Maybe the grass on his grave is already overgrown. You’re still using him to scare me. It’s funny!”

The First Elder of the Ghost King Sect continued, “To tell you the truth, we didn’t want to provoke your Tortoise Academy at first. However, think about it. What has your academy done recently?

“Qin Haodong killed 12 ghost slaves first. Then, he killed Zhong Xiaodie, the Ghost Concubine, and the Ninth Elder of our Ghost King Sect in Golden Horse City.

“He caused one great loss after another to our Ghost King Sect. Shouldn’t we get even with you?”

Luo Dongqing said, “Your Ghost King Sect asked for it. They attacked the students of our academy first.”

He now knew that the situation was not good for him. Originally, Ghost King Sect and Tortoise Academy were enemies. However, Tong Haichuan, the strongest Director, went missing recently.

The current situation was that there was not much difference in strength for most sides. His students would be badly hurt if a fight broke out. Therefore, he wanted to avoid any confrontation as much as possible.

“It’s so funny that you’re trying reason with people of our Ghost King Sect. Only we can kill people, but no one can hurt the people of our Ghost King Sect.”

The First Elder rudely said, “If you don’t want to lose too many people, then give the boy Qin Haodong to me. I’ll let bygones be bygones.”

Luo Dongqing furiously said, “Dream on! Do you really think our Tortoise Academy is afraid of you?”

“Aren’t you afraid?” The First Elder of the Ghost King Sect laughed again. “If Tong Haichuan were here, your Tortoise Academy would have some confidence. Unfortunately, he is missing now.

“You, a henpecked guy, what qualification do you have to fight against our Ghost King Sect?

“Thus, I advise you to obediently hand over Qin Haodong. Otherwise, all of you will die!”

At this time, a teacher nearby said, “Director, let’s fight it out with them!”

Luo Dongqing shouted, “Our Tortoise Academy has been established for a thousand years. There has never been a precedent for us to hand over our students. If you want to fight, then let’s fight. Even if the people of our Tortoise Academy shed our last drop of blood, we will never submit to your Ghost King Sect!”

The geezer was usually a little unreliable, but at this critical moment, he was quite unyielding. Qin Haodong’ had a warm feeling in his heart when he saw that. The other students also shared the same sentiment, as their eyes blazed with fervor!

“Geezer Luo, since you want to be unyielding, go to hell!”

After the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect finished speaking, he waved his hand to the ghost slaves behind him and said, “Take action. Kill all of them.”

After that, the black Qi around his body suddenly increased. Like a ghost from hell, he reached out his black ghost claw to grab Luo Dongqing.

The ghost claw carried a dense ghost aura. By the time it arrived in front of Luo Dongqing, it had already transformed into an enormous ghost claw. It seemed like the ghost claw could crush people to death with only two fingers!

Netherworld Ghost Claw!

Qin Haodong had seen Zhong Xiaodie use this move before. However, its power was far worse than that of the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect.

“Get lost!”

Luo Dongqing let out an angry howl and unleashed a punch.

As a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, his punch looked ordinary, but it contained endless power. As soon as he unleashed the punch, it turned into a giant dragon and rushed to the Netherworld Ghost Claw.

The giant dragon collided with the Netherworld Ghost Claw, which turned into the boundless force that made the people around them retreat.

Luo Dongqing blocked the move of the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect, but couldn’t help taking two steps back. Obviously, he had just entered the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. His cultivation was weaker than that of the other side.

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. “I didn’t expect you to also break through to the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. It seems that even though you are henpecked, you’re not a good-for-nothing!”

“Cut the crap. Take this punch!”

As Luo Dongqing spoke, he unleashed another punch. He knew that he had to tie down this guy in front of him and prevent him from attacking his own students. Otherwise, it would be disastrous.

The two masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm came to blows. The others beside them also began to fight.

On the side of the Tortoise Academy, the ten teachers who were stationed here had reached the stage of the Combination Realm. Together with Qin Haodong, Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and You Wanren, there were a total of 14 masters at the stage of the Combination Realm.

On the side of the Ghost King Sect, they had sent out high-level ghost slaves this time. Half of them had reached the stage of the Combination Realm. Therefore, the strength of both sides was almost equal. For a time, they were evenly matched.

Qin Haodong knew that it was not the time to be modest. He summoned the Xuan Yuan Sword and slashed at a ghost slave in front of him.

The ghost slave was at the early stage of the Combination Realm, so his cultivation was the same as that of Qin Haodong. He waved the ghost head knife in his hand to fight.

The cultivation of Qin Haodong was invincible in the same realm. Facing the sharpness of Xuan Yuan Sword, the ghost slave could not resist at all. As soon as the ghost slave made a move, he was cut in half along with his knife by Qin Haodong.

After Qin Haodong killed this opponent, a whistling sound could be heard. A sharp ghost head knife slashed toward his neck. This knife was thrown by a man with a silver mask. This man was at the middle stage of the Combination Realm.

He dodged the knife in a flash. But at this time, another ghost slave with a silver mask came from behind. The two men attacked Qin Haodong together.

Qin Haodong had an absolute advantage when he was fighting against a person at the early stage of the Combination Realm. He also could barely deal with a cultivator at the middle stage of the Combination Realm. However, it would be difficult for him to deal with two cultivators at the middle stage of the Combination Realm at the same time.

At this time, a scream came from the side. Murong Jinghon’s arm was gashed by a ghost slave’s ghost head knife.

Although Murong Jinghong and Qin Haodong were both at the early stage of the Combination Realm, compared to Qin Haodong’s strength, she was much weaker.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Qin Haodong couldn’t care about anything else. He raised his hand and put a Great Energy Explosion Pill into his mouth. In an instant, he broke through to the final stage of the Combination Realm.

With the improvement of his cultivation, the power of the Energy Explosion Pill became weaker than before. He could not break through the bottleneck of the Grand Completion Realm.

But that was enough. After his cultivation reached the final stage of the Combination Realm, Qin Haodong instantly turned into a god of killing. With a flash of golden light in his hand, the two ghost slaves at the middle stage of the Combination Realm in front of him were instantly cut into four pieces by him.

Murong Jinghong was facing the Strong at the middle stage of the Combination Realm. Under the suppression of the cultivation, she was forced to retreat again and again. Her body was gashed by the ghost head knife again.

However, she was completely suppressed by the other party. She would lose her life if she was distracted for even a moment. Thus, she didn’t even have time to take the Great Energy Explosion Pill.

Right at this moment, the ghost head knife of this ghost slave slashed down once more. It was aimed at the top of her head. Murong Jinghong hurriedly swung the Jinghong Sword upwards to fight.

Unexpectedly, it was just a feint. The ghost slave was aware of the power of the Jinghong Sword. After the feint, the ghost head knife instantly changed its direction and slashed toward her chest.

“Ah…”

Murong Jinghong yelped all at once. She had already been beaten and was in a panic-stricken state. It was already too late for her to put away her sword for defending.

Seeing that she was about to die, a golden light flashed next to her at the critical moment. Then, with a click, both the ghost head knife and the arm of the ghost slave fell to the ground.

Qin Haodong killed the ghost slave and came to Murong Jinghong. He asked, “How are you? Are you okay?”

Murong Jinghong had just narrowly escaped from the jaws of death. She still felt a lingering fear in her heart and patted her towering bosoms and said, “Thank you. I’m fine.”

“The situation is critical. Hurry up and swallow the Energy Explosion Pill.”

After that, Qin Haodong waved his sword and rushed to Fang Qiong’er.

Murong Jinghong no longer hesitated. She raised her hand and popped the Great Energy Explosion Pill into her mouth. Her cultivation improved to the final stage of the Combination Realm in an instant. Then, she waved the Jinghong Sword to stab a ghost slave next to her.

Next, these girls took the Great Energy Explosion Pills one after another. Their cultivations rose to the final stage of the Combination Realm. The situation on the battlefield began to reverse.

Under Qin Haodong’s leadership, the students of the Tortoise Academy began to kill these ghost slaves as if they were cutting melons and vegetables. After a while, they had killed more than a dozen ghost slaves.

The ten teachers stationed here were all dumbfounded. When did their students become so powerful?

They had turned the situation around. However, the situation at Luo Dongqing’s side wasn’t optimistic at all.

Although they were both at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, his cultivation was still a little lower than that of the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. He had been suppressed from beginning to end and could only manage to entangle his opponent.

The eyes of the First Elder flashed with a cold glint after seeing that more and more his subordinates were killed by the students of the Tortoise Academy. His two palms continuously struck out. Then, dozens of giant ghost claws surrounded Luo Dongqing.

Luo Dongqing gathered all his cultivation and punched out repeatedly. He managed to fight back this wave of attack with much effort. In the end, his punch collided with the two palms of the First Elder.

In the past, when they fiercely fought, he was at a disadvantage. However, it was completely different this time. The First Elder of the Ghost King Sect was shaken by this punch and flew backward in the air.

“What’s going on?”

Before Luo Dongqing could figure out what was going on, the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect had already come to the side of Qin Haodong with the help of the counterforce. He then reached out to grab Qin Haodong’s neck.

Qin Haodong was shocked. He didn’t expect that the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect would suddenly come to him.

This was the first time he faced a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Before he could make a move, he was pressed by the momentum of the other side. It was impossible for him to dodge.

He had no choice but to desperately activate his Green-Wood Genuine Qi and try to fight against the other side, so Luo Dongqing would have an opportunity to save him.

Unexpectedly, there was a sense of weakness in his body at this moment. The efficacy of the Great Energy Explosion Pill had passed.

“Gosh! This is bad!”

Seeing the palm of the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect getting closer and closer, Qin Haodong had no ability to resist.

“Let go of him!”

Luo Dongqing, who had come to his senses, roared and rushed to rescue Qin Haodong, but it was too late.

Fortunately, the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect did not kill Qin Haodong. He just knocked Qin Haodong out with one finger. Then, he grabbed Qin Haodong’s belt and rushed away.

After he left, the rest of the ghost slaves stopped fighting and disappeared in an instant.
