Chapter 945 - Killed by a Single Punch (1/2)
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!”
