Chapter 978: Killed Li Tianba

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As the second princess of the Dragon Kingdom and the leader of the team from the Dragon Academy, Li Mengyao was very calm, unlike Lu Mingju, who was impulsive.

She thought for a moment and said, “Isn’t it dangerous? If that woman sees you, I’m afraid the consequence will be very serious.”

Li Tianba shook his head and said, “Your Highness, don’t worry. I promise there won’t be any accidents.

“Although that woman is a bit stronger than me, I’m very good at hiding my aura. As long as I hide in the dark, I’m sure she won’t notice me.

“Even if I was discovered after I made a move, she couldn’t stop me if I try and escape.”

Li Mengyao thought about it and agreed with Li Tianba. It was easy to defeat this master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, but it would be very difficult to kill him.

The reason why he was trampled by Niu Cuihua today was that there were students of the Dragon Academy present, so there was no way he could escape by himself.

Thinking of this, she said, “Well, you can give it a try, but you must ensure your own safety.”

Li Tianba said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I promise I’ll kill Qin Haodong and bring back the Immortal Crystal.”

After that, his figure flashed and quickly disappeared from the room.

Li Tianba arrived stealthily at the General Mansion of He Changhai. Although it was heavily guarded, the majority of the guards were at the stage of the Apotheosis Realm. The difference in cultivation between Li Tianba and these guards was too great, so there was no way Li Tianba could be sensed.

After entering the mansion, he slowly found the place where Qin Haodong and the others lived.

This was the rear courtyard of the General Mansion. It was situated in an extremely remote corner. Therefore, it was the ideal place for him to make a move.

Li Tianba scanned the room with his Spirit and saw Qin Haodong, Niu Cuihua, and Tu Jiaojiao and the others sitting together and drinking wine in celebration.

Niu Cuihua was seated next to Qin Haodong so he didn’t dare to make a move and could only hide in the corner to wait for an opportunity.

Time was nothing for a cultivation artist. However, the wine and dishes in the room looked and smelt so good, he kept drooling.

Although he wasn’t as addicted to alcohol like Luo Dongqing, he drooled over the good wine.

“Where did this boy find such good wine? Why is it so fragrant? I have to get some for tasting later.”

Finally, when everyone was full, Qin Haodong arranged for them to go back and have a rest.

The girls of the Tortoise Academy stayed together, while Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei stayed in the same room.

Qin Haodong was the only man, so he returned to his room alone.

Li Tianba was overjoyed. He finally got his chance. He quietly followed Qin Haodong and waited for him to fall asleep before taking action.

However, after waiting for a long time, Qin Haodong just sat at the table and read books. He had no intention of sleeping at all.

“Is this boy going to read all night?”

Li Tianba was a little anxious. He was considering whether to take action now.

At this time, Qin Haodong smiled in the direction where Li Tianba had hidden in the room.

“Aren’t you going to take action now? Otherwise, I’m going to sleep.”

Li Tianba’s heart skipped a beat. “This boy has already discovered my whereabouts!”

He stopped hiding and directly appeared in front of Qin Haodong.

At such a close distance, he was confident that he could slap this boy to death before Niu Cuihua appeared.

Qin Haodong playfully said, “Director Li, what are you doing here so late? Are you too lonely and can’t sleep?”

Li Tianba said, “No one can live well after humiliating our Dragon Royal Family. Hurry up and hand over the Immortal Crystal belonging to the princess.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Then, you won’t kill me if I give it to you?”

“You are dreaming! You must die today, but I can leave your corpse intact and let you die a painless death.”

Qin Haodong said, “Okay, just with this sentence, I can let you die a painless death, but whether your corpse will be intact will depend on your performance.”

“Boy, what tricks are you playing?”

Qin Haodong behaved calmly in front of him, so Li Tianba was a little nervous. He didn’t know why the other party was so confident.

“Are you scared? If you’re scared, kneel and kowtow three times to me, and get out. I will take it as nothing happened today.”

“Boy, do you think that woman can still save you? Even the gods can’t save you now.”

Li Tianba lost his patience. He thought that Qin Haodong was just putting on an act. He raised his palm and reached out toward Qin Haodong.

This palm strike seemed to be silent, but he had already exerted all his strength.

In his opinion, Qin Haodong, who was only at the stage of the Combination Realm, could not withstand this move. Qin Haodong would definitely die because of this palm strike.

However, when his palm was about to hit Qin Haodong, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Qin Haodong disappeared, and Niu Cuihua appeared in front of him, her face full of anger.

Li Tianba was startled. “What happened? Where did he go?”

The angry Niu Cuihua didn’t give him enough time to think. She raised her hand and threw a punch.

Li Tianba’s strength was not as good as Niu Cuihua’s. Moreover, he sustained some injuries earlier in the day. After the palm strike and the punch collided, he was immediately sent flying backward like a cannonball and directly hit the wall, leaving a big human-shaped hole. Then, he spat out a big mouthful of blood.

Although Li Tianba did not know how Niu Cuihua appeared, he had no time to think about it at this time. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to run.

He had to escape from this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, the abnormal woman in front of him would definitely kill him.

However, Niu Cuihua did not give him a chance at all. She trailed after him like his shadow and threw out the Netherworld Ghost Claw again.

Li Tianba couldn’t dodge, so he could only fight with Niu Cuihua again, at the cost of spitting out two mouthfuls of blood again.

However, he also took advantage of the counterforce and flew out dozens of meters away, turning into a shadow and escaping from the General Mansion.

It was just as he had said. Injuring him who was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm was easy, but killing him was much more difficult.

Although there was a flying-restricted formation inside Rosefinch City, his fleeing speed was extremely fast.

Just then, on a roof not far away, Qin Haodong stood there with a huge anti-material rifle in front of him.

All of this was according to his plan. He had already placed the anti-material rifle here and even loaded the bullets. Then, he let Niu Cuihua stay on guard here.

When Li Tianba took action against him, he immediately used the Qimen Displacement Technique to switch places with Niu Cuihua.

At the same time, the roles between him and Li Tianba changed. He became the hunter and Li Tianba became the prey.

Just as Li Tianba was about to escape, there was a muffled bang. Then, he felt pain in his left leg and fell to his knees with a plop. His kneecap was shattered by a bullet.

If he hadn’t been seriously injured and hadn’t been in such a hurry to escape, the anti-material rifle wouldn’t have been able to break through his body-protecting Genuine Qi so smoothly.

However, there were no ifs. Everything was under Qin Haodong’s control. The last master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, Zhangsun Chengdu, had died in this way.

Seeing that Niu Cuihua had caught up with him, Li Tianba simply did not have time to look for the enemy hiding in the dark. Once again he fled from the General Mansion, regardless of everything.

As soon as he took his second step, there was another muffled bang. The calf bone of his right leg was also shattered.

Li Tianba was greatly frightened. What was this thing? It was so powerful and could break his legs without him noticing?

Before he could figure it out, there was the third muffled bang. Next, his head exploded like a watermelon. The red blood and white brain matter splattered all over the ground.

The Associate Director of the Dragon Academy, a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, lost his life just like that, while in a confused state.

At this time, Niu Cuihua came to the side of Li Tianba. According to Qin Haodong’s plan, she quickly conjured up a stream of alchemistic fire that turned the body of Li Tianba into ashes. Not even a drop of blood was left; it was as if this person had never appeared.

From Li Tianba’s attack to his thorough obliteration, it took less than 30 seconds. It was incredibly fast.

Qin Haodong quickly put away his anti-material rifle, jumped off the roof, and then came to Niu Cuihua.

By now, the guards of the mansion had been alerted. He Changhai rushed over with his servants. Immediately, He Ziwei, Murong Jinghong, Tu Jiaojiao, and the others followed behind.

Looking at Qin Haodong’s damaged house, He Changhai asked, “What happened?”

Qin Haodong said, “Nothing. There seemed to be a thief.”

He Changhai said, “A thief? There’s actually someone who dares to steal from my residence. Where is the thief now?”

Qin Haodong said, “This guy was too fast. After I found him, he directly broke through the wall. When I chased after him, he was already gone.”

He Changhai said to his housekeeper, “Hurry up and search. We must find this thief.”

The housekeeper responded and immediately led the servants to search the mansion. However, they didn’t find even a single shadow after searching for a long time.

Qin Haodong said, “General He, I think that man must have escaped. In fact, he is just a thief. You don’t have to worry about him.”

He Changhai said, “All right. Then, let’s go back and rest.”

He told the housekeeper, “Ask our men to guard the place well. Don’t let any more thieves in.”

Everything passed just like that. When they returned to the room, the Little Witch grabbed Qin Haodong and said, “Little Brother, tell us. What did you do behind our backs?”

“Nothing. I have told you. Just a thief.”

Although all the people present were trustworthy, there was no need for them to worry about this kind of thing. Thus, Qin Haodong chose not to tell them.

The Little Witch sneered and said, “I don’t believe a word of it.”

The other girls were also a little suspicious. However, they didn’t ask any more questions since Qin Haodong didn’t want to talk about it. They all went back to rest.

After everyone left, Niu Cuihua ran to Qin Haodong’s room and whispered in his ear, “Husband, you are so clever. The Associate Director of the Dragon Kingdom was easily killed by us.”

Qin Haodong said, “Mainly because of your help. Otherwise, no matter how clever I am, it would be useless. Therefore, you are the main hero.”

Niu Cuihua took his arm, pressed her ample bosom on his shoulder, and coquettishly said, “Is there any reward?”

“Uh…”

Thinking that the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect was acting so coquettishly, Qin Haodong felt strange. He awkwardly said, “What reward do you want?”

Niu Cuihua blushed and said, “I want you to treat me well.”

“Well… Am I not good to you?”

Qin Haodong certainly understood what she meant, but he didn’t dare to do anything to the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. If her memory was regained at that critical moment, his life and his ‘little brother’ would probably be lost. Just thinking about it sent chills down his back.

“No… no, that’s not what I meant. You are very good to me.” Niu Cuihua whispered, “But you are my husband. Shouldn’t we sleep together tonight?”
