Chapter 798: Master Hao Yue
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his chest and saw all the sword shadows disappear. A big golden sword cut through his left chest and pierced his heart directly.
“Poof…”
Cha Taehang spat out a mouthful of blood. He thought he wouldn’t lose to Qin Haodong at least, but he had been defeated by this young man so miserably. Qin killed him with just one punch and a sword.
Qin Haodong kicked him in the abdomen, kicking him down from Tianzhu Peak.
Cha Taehang’s body fell straight down from the top of the mountain and hit the ground in front of the members of the Tang Sect. He was now a heap of flesh.
“Ah…”
With a piercing scream, Kim Jihyun rushed over with a sharp dagger in her hand and stabbed Cha Taehang’s shattered body madly.
This man slaughtered the entire Kim family for a map. She’d finally got her revenge now.
However, the famous Boxing Saint, Cha Taehang, died miserably with his body being destroyed because of his greed.
As for the others, they didn’t care about him. What they cared about was the gamble.
Qin Haodong was the winner again. Those who bet on him had made a lot while those who placed their bets on Kahn and Cha Taehang nearly lost everything.
However, even though Qin has had two straight wins, none of the big gambling arenas reduced the odds between Zhan Wudi and Qin Haodong. They were more confident about Zhan Wudi, who was known to be invincible abroad.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Zhan Wudi slightly narrowed his eyes. Qin Haodong’s strength constantly made him revise his cognition. It seemed that he had to take action now.
With a gentle tap of his feet on the top of the neighboring mountain, he appeared at the Tianzhu Peak in the blink of an eye.
The crowd immediately burst into cheers. Zhan Wudi was indeed at the middle stage of the Saint Realm. With the teleportation skill, he was much stronger than the other two challengers.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Zhan Wudi glanced at Qin Haodong and said proudly, “Kid, you’re doing fine. You are finally qualified to fight me. This is your honor and your sorrow. You’ll die the moment I take action.”
Although Qin Haodong felt his rival’s great power, he was not quite nervous. He said calmly, “Zhan Wudi, you’d better show your real strength. It’s useless to threaten me.”
Zhan Wudi frowned. “Young man, you’re so ignorant are fearless. You are quite powerful, but you’re no match for me. Give up now. You know that I didn’t come here for you.”
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “I never quit. Since I’ve accepted your challenge, we must figure out who’s the winner.”
Zhan Wudi’s face instantly clouded. He had originally wanted to preserve some of his strength, but since this guy was so ungrateful, he had to take action now.
“Since you want to die, I’ll help you.”
After a low shout, his powerful momentum suddenly burst out. Zhan Wudi had been practicing the ice force. With his full strength, the top of Tianzhu Peak was eroded by the cold air, and the trees and rocks were instantly covered by the frost.
“That’s awesome!”
Qin Haodong was quite surprised. He mobilized all his Green Wood Genuine Qi to resist the bitter cold.
“Take it!”
Zhan Wudi shouted again and then threw a punch at Qin Haodong. Compared with Kahn, the Beast God, and Cha Taehang, the Boxing Saint, Zhan Wudi was obviously much stronger.
There was a piercing scream in the air after he threw the punch, just like the roar when the fighter took off and broke through the sound barrier.
“Oh my god, the punch breaks through the sound barrier!”
At the foot of the Tianzhu Peak, Yan Feifei and others exclaimed in great surprise. As Saint-level experts, they knew how powerful his punch was.
At the same time, everyone was worried about whether Qin Haodong could resist such a powerful attack of Zhan Wudi.
Those who bet on Zhan Wudi immediately cheered. Zhan Wudi was really worthy of the name. His attack was extraordinary.
Qin Haodong’s eyes popped at the sight of the punch that broke through the speed of sound. He had wanted to try his best to fight with Zhan Wudi, but now it seemed that he didn’t stand a chance to win. He could only use his trump card.
“Amitabha, Zhan Wudi, stop.”
But at this moment, they heard someone chanting Amitabha Buddha. A monk in a red cassock suddenly appeared in front of Qin Haodong. He raised his hand and gave Zhan Wudi a gentle push.
Hao Yue’s move seemed to be casual, but it easily held off Zhan Wudi’s punch.
Zhan Wudi punched the monk on his palm, and he quickly flew back. After keeping his feet, he said in a deep voice, “Hao Yue, you’re finally here!”
“Master Hao Yue, my god, Master Hao Yue is here…”
“Is this Master Hao Yue, the top master in Huaxia? I finally see him…”
“Master Hao Yue has made his move. It seems that Zhan Wudi is going to lose today…”
“Well, maybe. I heard that the two of them fought for three days, and Master Hao Yue won by a narrow margin. Now Zhan Wudi has reached the middle stage of the Saint Realm. I don’t think Master Hao Yue will be the winner…”
“Amitabha!” Master Hao Yue chanted Amitabha Buddha and then said to Zhan Wudi, “Mr. Zhan, you left Huaxia years ago. Why do you come back?”
Zhan Wudi laughed. “Yes, I said that I would not set foot in Huaxia until I’m sure to defeat you. But now I’ve reached the middle stage of the Saint Realm, and I’m strong enough to defeat you. So my oath is invalid.”
Master Hao Yue said, “Mr. Zhan, there is never an end of taking revenge. Gave up your obsession. It doesn’t matter who wins.”
Zhan Wudi said impatiently, “Well, Hao Yue, you’re just a fake monk. Why do you keep chanting Amitabha Buddha? Since you are here today, let’s fight to the death.”
Master Hao Yue frowned. “Mr. Zhan, I’ve already devoted myself to Buddhism. There’s no such thing as pretending to be a monk.”
Zhan Wudi said, “You don’t even have a ring scar on your head. How dare you say that you are devoted to Buddhism? I think you have been waiting to return to the secular world.”
Master Hao Yue fell silent for a moment. When he had converted to Buddhism, his master said that there was still a connection between him and the mortal world, so he had not been initiated into monkhood.
“Well, don’t talk nonsense. Let’s do it. I want to see how much progress you have made over the years.”
Zhan Wudi was well-prepared. He looked much more serious this time and it was obvious that Master Hao Yue was his real opponent.
“Amitabha, since you’re so persistent, I can only get rid of the devils and defend the ways.”
Master Hao Yue was also ready to take action.
“Wait a minute.”
It was Qin Haodong who interrupted them. Since Master Hao Yue appeared, he had been standing there in a daze. Only now did he come to his senses.
“Young man, what can I do for you?”
Master Hao Yue turned around and saw Qin Haodong’s face clearly. Although he was an eminent monk, he was still shocked and stood there like a statue.
“Master Hao Yue, can I know your name in the mortal world?”
Qin Haodong looked excited. Master Hao Yue seemed to be in his forties or fifties and they looked very similar to each other. Hao Yue looked exactly the same as the photo Chu Xuanyue hung over her bed. The only difference was the hair.
That was why he was stunned at the sight of Hao Yue. He believed that this man must be his father, Qin Zongheng.
Hearing Qin Haodong’s question, Master Hao Yue came to her senses and said, “Amitabha, young man, everything is emptiness. I’ve already forgotten my name in the mortal world.”
“If everything is emptiness for you, you wouldn’t be absent-minded when you saw me just now,” Qin Haodong said excitedly, “Master Hao Yue, you are Qin Zongheng of the Qin family, right? You are my father, aren’t you?”
The wind was whistling through the mountain. Those standing at the foot of the mountain could only see Qin Haodong and Master Hao Yue talking, but they didn’t know what they were talking about.
“This guy must have been scared out of his wits by Zhan Wudi. He must be begging Master Hao Yue to stand up for him!”
“That’s not surprising. Master Hao Yue is the only one in Huaxia who can defeat Zhan Wudi.”
“It seems that we’re going to have a different player. Master Hao Yue will take the field…”
Faced with Qin Haodong’s question, a trace of embarrassment and hesitation showed in Master Hao Yue’s deep eyes.
“Amitabha, young man, I’ve converted to Buddhism. Please don’t talk about the matters of the mortal world anymore.”
Although Master Hao Yue did not admit it, what he had said was consent to Qin Haodong’s words. He was Qin Zongheng, the unprecedented martial arts genius of the Qin family.
“Bullshit. Maybe everything is emptiness for you, but what about my mother?” Qin Haodong said excitedly, “Do you know how much pain my mother has suffered? She has been waiting for you all these years!
You left the Qin family because of me. Now everything has been solved, I’m still alive, and all the obstacles have been removed. There’s nothing stopping you from being together. Why do you have to convert to Buddhism?”
“Well…”
For a moment, Master Hao Yue didn’t know what to say. He fled away from the Qin family because of Qin Haodong’s disappearance and turned into a monk in desperation. However, he didn’t expect that his son would stand alive in front of him 20 years later.
Qin Haodong said, “No more excuse. You must return to the secular world now. Go back and stay with mom.”
Hearing the conversation between Qin Haodong and Hao Yue, Zhan Wudi was also surprised. He didn’t expect that the young man he challenged was actually the son of Master Hao Yue.
Both of them got excited. If he took action at this time, he might be able to kill them together when they were not prepared.
But what he pursued was pure martial arts. He was a warrior with dignity, so he would not do such a dirty thing.
He said, “Hao Yue, I told you that you are a fake monk. Now that your son has shown up, why do you still pretend to be a monk?”
Master Hao Yue put his palms together and said, “Amitabha. Everything is emptiness for me. I don’t have any kids.”
Seeing that Hao Yue did not admit it, Qin Haodong said anxiously, “Qin Zongheng, do you still have a conscience? I don’t care whether you admit that I’m your son, but you can’t let my mother down.”
Before Master Hao Yue could speak, Zhan Wudi said, “Alright, don’t talk about your family’s mess here. Who’s going to fight with me?”
Hao Yue said, “Of course it’s me.”
He pretended to be calm, but in fact, he was dumbfounded. The young man standing in front of him was his son. He didn’t do his duty as a father in those years. Today he would try his best to stop Zhan Wudi from hurting him.
But unexpectedly, Qin Haodong said, “No, he is challenging me. I should be the one to take the challenge.”
Master Hao Yue said, “How can you do that? He is at the middle stage of the Saint Realm and his speed has broken through the sound barrier. You are no match for him at all. You’ll die if you take the challenge!”
“Dad, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. It’s not so easy to beat me.” Qin Haodong turned his head to Zhan Wudi and said, “Come on, I’m your opponent. Let’s get started.”
