Chapter 977 The Immortal Crystal

Li Tianba did not dare to be careless. He quickly hit out with all his strength. The invisible Qi of this punch turned into a huge fist to meet the ghost claw.
Unfortunately, his strength was still a little weaker. The giant fist was crushed by the ghost claw in an instant. He was forced to take more than a dozen steps back.
The difference in strength was obvious.
He was extremely shocked inside. “Who was this young man? How could he have a wife whose cultivation was so high?”
After reaching the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, every step forward was extremely difficult. He had been stuck in this realm for a long time and was still unable to touch the threshold of the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
The cultivation of the woman in front of him had reached the peak of the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm, only a step away from the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
In fact, he was just making an issue of it. He wanted to kill Qin Haodong under the guise of protecting the dignity of the Dragon Royal Family.
This was only a superficial aspect. In the final analysis, Qin Haodong performed so well and would be a great threat to the students of the Dragon Academy.
He never expected that not only did his plot not succeed, but he also incurred the wrath of such a powerful opponent.
Niu Cuihua in her anger had no intention of stopping at all. She chased after Li Tianba and engaged him in a fierce battle for a while.
Li Tianba, who had been so arrogant just now, was now beaten like a stray dog. He became weaker and weaker and could not fight back.
In the end, he was slapped by Niu Cuihua’s palm and spat out a lot of blood. Then, Niu Cuihua landed on the ground.
“Husband, I have already avenged you. I will kill him right now if you want him to die.”
Li Mengyao and the others of the Dragon Kingdom were completely dumbfounded. Their director, who was very powerful in their hearts, had been beaten like a dog, and his life was in the hands of other people.
Li Tianba was very angry. He was about to vomit blood. Just now, when Li Mengyao was trampled by the Three-legged Golden Toad, he shouted that he wanted to protect the dignity of the Dragon Royal Family. However, in the blink of an eye, he was trampled by a woman.
“Kill me if you dare!”
Niu Cuihua raised her hand and slapped him across the face. “Shut up. Whether you live or die, depends on my husband!”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Haodong couldn’t help laughing. Every dog had its day. He had just been on the verge of death. However, it was his turn to decide the life and death of the other party now.
He was thinking over. “Should this man be killed or not?”
If he killed Li Tianba, he would most likely offend the entire Dragon Kingdom as a result. If he didn’t kill Li Tianba who was his enemy at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, he would always be in great danger.
After all, he couldn’t let Niu Cuihua follow him all the time. Who knew when the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect would regain her memory.
Li Mengyao took two steps forward and said, “Qin Haodong, let me tell you. Li Tianba is the Associate Director of our Dragon Academy and also a member of the Dragon Royal Family.
“If you kill him, you will be the enemy of the entire Dragon Kingdom. Even if you are not afraid of that, what about your friends!”
Qin Haodong thought for a moment. He had to admit that the other party’s threat made sense. The Dragon Kingdom was the largest kingdom in the Lingwu Continent and also the strongest.
If he offended the Dragon Kingdom, his days ahead would indeed not be easy.
On top of that, he needed to rely on the Four Spiritual Springs of the Lingwu Continent to increase his cultivation. Who knew if he would go to the Dragon Kingdom one day.
Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of killing Li Tianba now. Even if he wanted to kill Li Tianba, he would have to find a chance to do it secretly in the future.
He was also a person who always took advantage of others but never lost out. He couldn’t just let go of what had happened today.
“Your Highness, since you’ve said that, I will do you a favor and allow you to decide his life and death.”
Li Mengyao said in shock, “What do you mean?”
“You saw how he fought with me just now. He even injured my spirit beast. Therefore, I can’t just let it go.”
Qin Haodong said, “Well, as long as you can take out something that satisfies me, you can trade it for the life of your Associate Director.
“If you can’t take out something that satisfies me, you can only take his corpse back.”
Lu Mingju cried, “You… Qin Haodong, don’t go too far, okay?”
“Go too far?” Qin Haodong sarcastically said, “It seems that the people of your Dragon Academy are really used to being high and mighty. Originally, we were enjoying a good meal. It was you who took the initiative to provoke us. You wanted to rob us of our food and challenge us.
“Your teacher stood up for you when you were defeated. Now your teacher was defeated and you accuse me of going too far. Do you think this is really good?”
“I…”
Lu Mingju was speechless. In the past, she could choose to be domineering and ignore him. However, the Associate Director had been trampled underfoot by the other party now. She could not do that.
Li Mengyao said, “Well, I agree with your condition. As long as you let the Associate Director Li go, I will immediately give you 100,000 top-level Spirit Stones as compensation.”
Qin Haodong sneered and said, “100,000 top-level Spirit Stones? Is your Associate Director, a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm, only worth such a small price? Aren’t you afraid your Dragon Academy would lose its face if word gets out?”
Li Mengyao gritted her teeth and said, “One million!”
In fact, Qin Haodong just wanted to get some money. He didn’t know what treasures the Second Princess had. As a resident from earth, he was best at striking an exorbitant deal.
He said, “One million is not a small amount, but it’s still not enough compared with the life of your Associate Director.”
Lu Mingju angrily said again, “You think one million is too little? Why don’t you go and rob?”
Qin Haodong laughed and said, “Young Miss, you have to figure it out, okay? You were the one who came to rob me just now.”
There was a grave expression on Li Mengyao’s face. Li Tianba was not only the Associate Director of the Dragon Academy, but he was also the one who supported her the most in the Dragon Royal Family.
If Li Tianba died, she would have one less person to rely on when she returned to the Dragon Kingdom.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, took out an item and said, “As long as you let go of the Associate Director, this will be yours.”
Qin Haodong looked at her palm. It was a yolk-sized crystal.
Although it was not big, it contained extremely rich Spiritual Qi. Even the top-level Spirit Stones could not compare with its degree of richness.
“Gosh, this is an Immortal Crystal!”
He had seen an Immortal Crystal in the Cultivation World. Although it was just a low-level Immortal Crystal in front of him, the Spiritual Qi it contained was comparable to that of millions of top-level Spirit Stones.
This Immortal Crystal could help him break through the current threshold and step into the middle stage of the Combination Realm. He did not expect that there would be such a good thing in the Lingwu Continent.
Li Mengyao said, “I got this from an ancient site. As long as you let Director Li go, this low-level Immortal Crystal will be yours.”
She got this low-level Immortal Crystal from a site some time ago and had always regarded it as a treasure. Originally, she wanted to use it when she reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
But today, in order to save Li Tianba, she had to endure the pain and give it to Qin Haodong.
“Deal!”
Qin Haodong took the low-level Immortal Crystal and asked Niu Cuihua to let Li Tianba go.
Li Tianba’s eyes were filled with anger. He was the Associate Director of the Dragon Academy and was reduced to being treated as a hostage.
Due to the strength of the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect, he had no choice and could only stare angrily at Qin Haodong.
After getting the low-level Immortal Crystal, Qin Haodong was in a good mood. He happily said, “Well, we’re even now. You can go. Remember your promise since you lost to us.”
Li Mengyao snorted and took the people of the Dragon Academy back.
After they left, Niu Cuihua stepped forward and took Qin Haodong’s hand and said, “Husband, I went to find food for you last time. Why did you disappear all of a sudden? I was so anxious these days.”
Seeing her anxious expression, Qin Haodong scratched his nose in embarrassment. “I will explain this to you when we have the opportunity. Let me introduce my friends to you first.”
With that, he introduced He Ziwei, Murong Jinghong, and the others to the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect.
Although everyone knew the identity of Niu Cuihua, they were all extremely friendly toward her out of gratitude for her help.
He Ziwei said, “The matter has been solved. Let’s go back. Otherwise, we won’t be able to get in the city after dark.”
Qin Haodong nodded and returned to the Rosefinch City with these women.
Since he met with Niu Cuihua and could not find a suitable reason to separate from her, he could only bring her into the General Mansion of He Changhai.
After dinner, Niu Cuihua took him into a room alone and asked, “Husband, now you can tell me why you disappeared last time? I was almost scared to death. Did my family members come to make trouble for you again?”
Qin Haodong was worried about not being able to find a suitable reason. After hearing what she said, he immediately followed up and said, “Yes, your brother showed up after you just left that day. I couldn’t beat him. Thus, I had to sneak away.”
Niu Cuihua angrily said, “I knew it had to be him coming to make trouble again. I will definitely avenge you the next time I meet him.”
Qin Haodong said, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about the past. Can you do me a favor tonight?”
He was sure that the people of the Dragon Kingdom would not let him go so easily. Whether it was for the face or for the low-level Immortal Crystal, they would definitely come to make trouble for him. Moreover, they would not delay any longer. It would probably happen tonight.
If they took their time, they were afraid that the low-level Immortal Crystal would be used by him.
Now, he happened to have a big helper nearby, so he asked her to help him kill Li Tianba.
Otherwise, when Niu Cuihua regained her memory one day, not only would she not help him, but she would also become his enemy.
Niu Cuihua took his hand and affectionately said, “You are my husband. Don’t say ‘help’. Just tell me what you want me to do.”
“Cough, cough, cough…”
The consequence of lying was serious. However, there was nothing he could do at that time. He couldn’t find a suitable excuse if he didn’t say that he was her husband.
Hearing his cough, Niu Cuihua immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong, husband? Did that bastard hurt you?”
“Fine! I am fine!” Qin Haodong said, “I guess Li Tianba will make trouble for me tonight. We need to make preparations first.”
Niu Cuihua said, “If he dares to make trouble for you again, I will kick his nuts.”
“It’s not that simple. Listen to me. It must be done quietly.”
Qin Haodong leaned against Niu Cuihua’s ear and whispered his plan.
When the people of the Dragon Academy returned to their residence, Lu Mingju angrily said, “Your Highness, Director, we can’t let today’s matter go. We have never suffered such a big loss.”
Li Tianba’s eyes blazed with anger. He said, “You’re right. I must kill Qin Haodong!”
Lu Mingju said, “And the Immortal Crystal of Her Highness. We must get it back as soon as possible. We can’t let that boy use it!”
Li Mengyao said, “But Qin Haodong has a wife at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. It won’t be easy to get back the Immortal Crystal, let alone kill that boy.”
Li Tianba said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I have an idea. Since we can’t do it openly, let’s do it in secret.
“That woman is powerful, but she can’t be with Qin Haodong all the time. I’ll go to the General Mansion later and find the right opportunity to kill him.”
