Chapter 920 Detonate Spirit
Qin Haodong looked at Zhong Xiaodie and said jokingly, “What do you think? Am I right?”
Seeing that her plot has been exposed, Zhong Xiaodie didn’t deny it any more. “You’re right. Our plan was perfect but I didn’t expect you to suddenly get a seventh-level demonic beast. Also, I didn’t expect you to see through our plan.”
After the Three-legged Golden Toad improved to the seventh level, it brought her a lot of pressure. However, in her opinion, as long as she killed Qin Haodong, its master, in advance, the Three-legged Golden Toad would not be a problem for her.
However, she didn’t expect that Qin Haodong would see through her guise even though she was very careful.
She had no choice but to pretend to be ready for the soul interrogation and take the opportunity to launch a sudden attack. However, she didn’t expect that Qin Haodong was already prepared and she would be beaten by the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Although she was the Strong at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm, she had no ability to resist the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Qin Haodong said, “Judging from your cultivation, you have a high position in the Ghost King Sect. Can you introduce yourself?”
Zhong Xiaodie glared at him with resentment. “Since you have seen through it, I have nothing to say.”
“Then do it!”
Qin Haodong waved his hand. The Three-legged Golden Toad, which had been anxiously waiting, rushed over and raised its big claws and smashed downward at her.
Zhong Xiaodie was completely terrified of the Three-legged Golden Toad. Not only was it a seventh-level demonic beast but it was also the most powerful kind.
She hurriedly dodged to the side. The Three-legged Golden Toad seemed clumsy but it was incomparably agile. Its other big claw was already waiting there.
In desperation, Zhong Xiaodie could only raise her hand to fight the Three-legged Golden Toad. This time, not only did she fly backward but she also spat out a lot of blood and suffered a serious internal injury.
Seeing that the Three-legged Golden Toad was going to pounce on her again, she quickly yelled, “Stop. As long as you let me go, I will leave the paG.o.da immediately.”
Qin Haodong sneered and said, “You wanted to kill us. Now, you want to leave after your conspiracy was exposed? There’s no such thing in the world.”
Glancing at the Three-legged Golden Toad, Zhong Xiaodie said nervously, “Let me tell you. I am one of the four ghost concubines of Ghost Lord. If you dare to kill me, the Ghost King Sect will not let you go.”
“The Ghost King Sect will not make trouble for us if I let you go? Do you think we are fools?” Qin Haodong ordered the Three-legged Golden Toad, “Kill her.”
“Goo-ga…”
The Three-legged Golden Toad let out a deafening roar. Its big tongue, like a flexible whip, directly rolled toward Zhong Xiaodie.
“Qin Haodong, you forced me to do this!”
Zhong Xiaodie dodged the fatal blow of the Three-legged Golden Toad with a flash. A ferocious look flashed across her face. Then the momentum on her body suddenly soared. An extremely powerful and dangerous aura filled the entire paG.o.da.
“Spirit self-destructed! Everyone, run!”
Qin Haodong didn’t expect that Zhong Xiaodie would be so crazy that she chose to detonate her Spirit.
Generally speaking, even if a cultivator who had reached the Combination Realm died, his Spirit could continue to live. At least, he could choose to reincarnate. If he selected the Spirit self-destruct option, there would be nothing left.
The power of Spirit self-destruct was extremely great. For a cultivator at the stage of the Combination Realm, the detonation of Spirit was no less than that of a small nuclear bomb.
After issuing the warning, with a thought, Qin Haodong put the Three-legged Golden Toad in the Spirit Beast Pouch. Then he turned around and threw Zhao Xingyue and the Little Witch to the ground.
Before he left, he had promised Luo Dongqing that he would protect the little girl no matter what happened. At the moment, the Green Wood Genuine Qi in his body surged wildly to protect these three people at the same time.
Hearing Qin Haodong’s shout, Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, and the others quickly retreated.
But it was too late at this time. With a loud bang, the powerful energy first tore through Zhong Xiaodie’s body and turned it into a flying b.l.o.o.d.y mist, and then it dissipated in the paG.o.da.
Under the impact of the huge airwave, they were like kites with their strings cut, flying around and hitting the walls of the paG.o.da.
Although Qin Haodong’s Green Wood Genuine Qi was powerful, the power of Zhong Xiaodie detonating her Spirit was too strong. In addition, they were in the center of the paG.o.da. He had to protect the two people below him. The huge energy broke through his Genuine Qi in an instant.
Then he felt as if his back had been hit by a 10,000-ton stone. His chest felt hot. He spat out a big mouthful of blood. The blood splashed onto the Little Witch and Zhao Xingyue’s faces. Everything went black as he lost consciousness.
Tu Jiaojiao, Fang Qiong’er, and Yun Qianqian hit the walls of the paG.o.da and then lay on the ground, vomiting mouthfuls of blood. It was obvious that they were seriously injured.
Spirit self-destruct was too fierce. If Qin Haodong hadn’t warned them in advance, they wouldn’t have been seriously injured but they would have lost their lives.
Murong Jinghong was the one with the least injuries. At that instant, a silver s.h.i.+eld flashed in front of her. It was the defensive treasure she got from the sixth floor of the paG.o.da.
With the help of the silver s.h.i.+eld, she was not too badly injured. However, her internal organs were slightly shaken when she hit the wall of the paG.o.da.
The Little Witch and Zhao Xingyue were shocked by the sudden change. Before they could react, a warm liquid sprayed onto their faces, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
When the airwaves in the paG.o.da gradually calmed down and the thick smoke dissipated, the Little Witch realized that Qin Haodong was injured. She shouted hurriedly, “Little Brother, how are you?”
Zhao Xingyue was even more fl.u.s.tered. She grabbed Qin Haodong’s arm and shook it desperately, “Big Brother Qin, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”
However, Qin Haodong had fallen into a deep coma. No matter how loudly they shouted, Qin Haodong could not be awakened for a while.
Hearing their shouts, Murong Jinghong rushed over. When she saw Qin Haodong lying still on the ground, she asked nervously, “How is he?”
The Little Witch sobbed and said, “In order to protect us, my little brother was injured!”
Zhao Xingyue burst into tears. “Big Brother Qin, are you alright? It’s all my fault that you got hurt”
As the two of them cried, Tu Jiaojiao, Fang Qiong’er, and Yun Qianqian immediately became nervous. Ignoring their serious injuries, they ran over to a.s.sess Qin Haodong’s injury.
Yun Qianqian and Fang Qiong’er held each other and stumbled along. Tu Jiaojiao’s injury was even more serious. She was almost crawling over to Qin Haodong. Murong Jinghong hurriedly carried her to Qin Haodong’s side.
“Senior Brother, how are you? Wake up quickly. Don’t scare me…”
“Doctor Qin, are you all right? Doctor Qin…”
“Junior Brother, wake up quickly…”
For a moment, all the women present were very nervous. The explosion just now was too scary. They were seriously injured on the periphery.
Qin Haodong was at the center of the paG.o.da and had to protect Zhao Xingyue and the Little Witch. One could only imagine the consequence.
Murong Jinghong checked Qin Haodong’s pulse and heartbeat nervously. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone, “Well, don’t cry. He’s just injured and unconscious. His life is not in danger.”
Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Zhao Xingyue continued to cry. “It’s all my fault for being weak and cowardly. Otherwise, my big brother Qin would not have been so badly injured…”
At this moment, footsteps sounded from the stairs. You Wanjian came up with his men.
“Gee, why are you all crying?”
After wandering around the maze for a long time, they still couldn’t find an exit and finally returned to the starting point.
Later Xue Pan came up with an idea. They followed Qin Haodong’s breath and walked out of the maze.
However, as soon as they came out, they heard a deafening explosion. The explosion was too frightening, so they were not in a hurry to come up. When the impact had settled down, they carefully went up to the sixth floor.
You Wanjian looked at Qin Haodong, who was in a coma, and suddenly smiled happily. He laughed and said, “No wonder you are crying. It turns out that Qin Haodong is dead.”
“Shut up, You Wanjian!” Tu Jiaojiao cried angrily.
The Little Witch said furiously, “Nonsense! My little brother won’t die even if you die!”
“Is that so? Then let’s see if he dies first or I die first.”
There was a flash of murderous intent in You Wanjian’s eyes. During this period of time, he had suffered losses at the hands of Qin Haodong continuously. His heart was full of hatred.
In the past, he had been most afraid of Qin Haodong’s seventh-level demonic beast but now that Qin Haodong was unconscious, he definitely could not summon it. Now was the best time to kill Qin Haodong.
As he spoke, he pulled out the long sword on his back and stepped toward Qin Haodong.
Tu Jiaojiao immediately became nervous. In the past, she was not afraid of You Wanjian. However, she was seriously injured now and had no fighting power at all.
Among them, the only one who was not injured at all was Zhao Xingyue. She had been well protected by Qin Haodong. At the same time, she was wearing the Dragon Scale Armor. However, this girl was so timid that she did not have the courage to take action at all. Qin Haodong could not count on her.
The only ones left were Murong Jinghong with the silver s.h.i.+eld and the Little Witch. Seeing that You Wanjian harbored malicious intentions, Murong Jinghong pulled out Jinghong’s sword and stood in front of him, whispering angrily, “What are you going to do?!”
You Wanjian did not answer. He turned to Xiao Yulong, Xue Pan, and the others and shouted, “This guy has gone against us numerous times. Now is the best time to kill him.”
The Little Witch said angrily, “Are you crazy, You Wanjian? We are all students of the Tortoise Academy. If you touch a finger of my little brother, my grandpa will never let you off.”
Although Xiao Yulong and Xue Pan hated Qin Haodong very much, they were still students of the academy. When they saw that You Wanjian really wanted to kill Qin Haodong, they hesitated for a while.
You Wanjian shouted, “A great man has to be ruthless. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What are you hesitating about?”
Xiao Yulong said, “He’s a student of our academy after all. Will there be trouble if we really kill him?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? We’re all the top students in the academy, so it’s fine even if we kill a poor guy like him. Could it be that the academy can expel all of us?”
Seeing that these people were still hesitating, You Wanjian said eagerly, “Qin Haodong is in a coma now. It will be troublesome if he wakes up. At that time, he will have the seventh-level demonic beast. We won’t even be able to take away the treasures.
“Think about it. What did you come to the Seven Storeys PaG.o.da for? All you need to do is to stop Murong Jinghong. I’ll do the murder!”
Human beings died for wealth and birds died for food. In addition, Xiao Yulong hated Qin Haodong in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, “Well, let’s do it!”
Originally, the eight students of the South Academy did not have much hatred for Qin Haodong, but for the treasures in the Seven Storeys PaG.o.da, they all stood behind You Wanjian.
Seeing the hatred in these people’s eyes, Murong Jinghong and others became nervous. Unfortunately, except for her and the Little Witch, the others had no power to fight at all.
With the support of everyone, You Wanjian looked complacent. He looked at Murong Jinghong and said, “We just want to deal with Qin Haodong. As long as you step aside, we will not make things difficult for you.”
“You heartless thing. Have you forgotten how Qin Haodong saved you before?” Murong Jinghong held the Jinghong Sword in her hand and said angrily, “As long as I’m here today, you won’t be able to hurt a hair on his head.”
At the same time, the Little Witch had completed her summoning. The Gate of Life slowly opened in the hexagram. A few black shadows came out one after another.
