Chapter 411 - The Puppet Talisman (1/2)
Chapter 411 The Puppet TalismanQin Haodong was currently at the peak Covert Power’s ninth level, half-a-step to the Supreme Power Level. This was while Hu Xiaoxian had made considerable progress on her cultivation with the help of the Spirit Culturing Elixir; she was merely at the sixth level of the Covert Power.
If they fought with the three powerhouses on their own, there was little chance for them to win.
“Qin Haodong, how’s it going? Are you happy with all these I set for you?”
A man laughed arrogantly and popped out. It was the boss of the Jade Gang, Zhou Tianhu.
“So, you’re Zhou Tianhu.”
Even in that case, Qin Haodong still looked calm, not panicking at all.
“You’re right, that’s me.” Zhou Tianhu took two steps forward and looked at Qin Haodong with a reluctant look. “You messed up with my sister in Jiangnan City, beat my fellows and ruined my crucial plan. I have to kill you today.”
“It’s my honor that you’ve dedicated yourself to set me up,” Qin Haodong laughed and said, “Zhou Tianhu, how did you know that I would be in Burma?”
Zhou Tianhu said, “That’s easy. I’ve got informers in Jiangnan City, too. The Lin Group has a shortage of raw jade gemstone, and you would definitely come here, seeking for supply.
“Although you’ve changed your appearance, I can tell who Doctor Tang really was because you had disappeared completely from Jiangnan, then a Chinese medical practitioner cured the son of General Li Site.
“I wasn’t pretty sure, so I set you a trap, and you took the bait in no time.”
“That’s right, that’s exactly like the ungrateful trap you set for the man who raised you,” Qin Haodong was being ironical. “You said Li Zhong was the lure, but I don’t think he listened to you.”
“That’s right. Li Zhong took orders from the old-timer. After I got rid of the old-timer, he sneaked out and tried to save his master.
“I know he was a fish that escaped from the net, but I didn’t act on it. After confirming you were here in Burma, I sent someone to tell him the news, and had him informed that the old-timer was imprisoned in the cave. He bit the lure and became a lure himself for me to reel you in.”
Zhou Tianhu laughed proudly and said, “How about that? Wasn’t that a nice trap? Surprise!”
Qin Haodong actually agreed with him. Zhou Tianhu was scumbag, but he was smart. Qin Haodong would’ve known it if Li Zhong was one of Zhou Tianhu’s men.
Zhou Tianhu continued, “Qin Haodong, you have to die here today. Guess you want to know whose hand will do you in, so allow me to introduce the three bigwigs to you.”
He pointed at the man in black next to him and introduced, “He’s a supreme power from Southeast Asia, also known as ‘the Fastest Saber, Leng Feng’. I invited him here as soon as I heard that you were quite powerful so that he could cut off your head.”
Leng Feng was well-known for being greedy and concupiscent. That was why he accepted Zhou Tianhu’s invitation.
He cast a glance at Qin Haodong and looked at Hu Xiaoxian, announcing proudly, “Give that woman to me and I’ll give you a decent death.”
Before Qin Haodong could, Hu Xiaoxian stopped him and said, “Stop daydreaming! Look at yourself! Do you even know what you look like? I throw up every time I see you.”
Leng Feng’s face turned grim. He made his move in no time, but Zhou Tianhu stopped him. “Don’t get provoked by them, sir. You can do anything to that woman as long as you kill the gigolo boy.”
Leng Feng held back his anger. He sniffed and didn’t reply to Zhou Tianhu.
Zhou Tianhu pointed at Yagyuu Yukime and said, “This is Yagyuu Yukime, a Heaven-Level ninja from Nihon, also a supreme power.”
Qin Haodong looked at Yagyuu Yukime with an intriguing smile, “You don’t need to introduce her. We’ve already met. We’ve communicated so deeply that I can even remember her BWH.”
Seeing Qin Haodong taunting her, Yagyuu Yukime’s face turned murderous. “Damn you! I said I would kill you!”
Qin Haodong ignored her and looked at the Taoist standing in the middle.
That old man’s beard and hair were all gray, looking at least 100 years old. The black robe of his made him look like an immortal that wouldn’t involve himself in any vulgar affairs at all. Qin Haodong wondered why such a hidden powerhouse would go at him.
The key point was, the Taoist had already reached the second level of the Supreme Power Realm. Every breakthrough in the Supreme Power Realm could be tricky, so most of the cultivators could only stay at the first level until they died.
At the same time, those at the second level could be much stronger than those at the first level. For Qin Haodong, the old Taoist was a much bigger threat than Leng Feng and Yagyuu Yukime combined.
He asked, “Who’s this?”
Zhou Tianhu didn’t answer because the old Taoist had already opened his eyes. Cold lights flashed in them and he introduced himself calmly, “Hei Shi from the Qingyi School.”
Qin Haodong hesitated for a while and asked, “Aren’t you the master of the Qingyi School?”
“I used to be in charge, but now Dao Xuan has taken over my position.”
Qin Haodong said, “Master Hei Shi, I happened to kill Dao Tong, one of your scum disciples. Wasn’t that a favor to you? I understand that you don’t want to thank me, but do you really have to kill me?”
Upon hearing the name “Dao Tong”, Hei Shi gave out an overwhelming pressure and replied coldly, “You killed him, and I’m here today to avenge his death by killing you.”
