They walked swiftly and as the sun went down, they could see the smoke of the Hmong Village in the distance.
Li Jiumei was excited to return to the place where she grew up. She exclaimed, “We’re finally home now!”
Qin Haodong asked, “Do you have any special customs here in Hmong Village?”
Li Jiumei said, “What do you mean?”
Qin Haodong explained with a smile, “Something like your sisters being part of the dowry and having to marry me together with you.”
“You’re dreaming.” Li Jiumei glared at him and said, “I don’t have any sisters, even if this custom really exists. But I have three brothers, do you want them?”
Her three brothers, who vaguely heard Li Jiumei mentioning about them, turned around and said at the same time, “Little sister, what’s wrong? Just tell us and we can handle it.”
Qin Haodong immediately turned back and said, “Haha, everything’s just fine!”
Li Jiumei smiled and said, “You’d better stop thinking too much. Many people will come and challenge you when we arrive at Hmong Village.”
“Challenge me? Why? I’m the guest, right?”
Li Jiumei explained, “Because you got the most beautiful girl here as your wife and the other men are naturally not convinced. They can challenge you according to the rules of our Hmong Village.”
Qin Haodong asked, “What if I lose? I don’t think they can take you away. I heard that women of your tribe can only be married to one man in her entire life.”
“Of course I won’t be taken away, but you may get a sound beating if you lose.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Oh! Then can I break off the engagement?”
Li Jiumei turned her head and looked at him, saying, “In Hmong Village, no one breaks off their engagement. You can only leave me when you’re dead.”
“Forget it. There will only be a few challengers. I think I can handle them…”
They were talking and laughing, but suddenly Qin’s face clouded over and he pulled Li Jiumei behind him.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Jiumei was shocked by his sudden action. At this moment, they heard a hoarse voice saying, “There’s no need to take the challenge. You must die now!”
Then, another voice was saying, “Haha, little girl, it seems that you’re destined to be a widow in your life.”
Then four people suddenly rushed out of the surrounding forests and stopped them. They were the four kings from Devil Gate who had been defeated by Qin Haodong at Divine Dragon Island.
Qin Haodong did not expect that they were still alive. He said, “You four were nearly killed by me last time at the island. How dare you come here to challenge me once again?”
Azure Dragon King was irritated and he said, “Boy, do you think you can leave without a scratch after hurting two of our elders? We’ll definitely kill you today!”
He hated Qin Haodong because his face remained pitch black now after being struck by the Thunder of Nine Heavens last time. Although he did not suffer any internal injuries, the muscles on his face still twitched from time to time as he was talking.
As the kings of Devil Gate, they had never been humiliated by someone like this before. So they immediately came to take revenge after sending the heavily injured Thousand-Armed Man and Devil King to a safe place.
White Tiger King shouted, “Ignorant boy, this is a surprise attack and you can’t set up the formation in advance. You are no match for us now…”
They believed that the young man relied on the Thunder of Nine Heavens instead of his cultivation to defeat four ninth-level masters at the same time.
Therefore, Qin Haodong would definitely be killed this time since they launched a surprise attack and Qin Haodong had no time to set up a formation.
He was talking triumphantly, but Qin Haodong suddenly disappeared and then a golden light pierced his throat.
“What…”
White Tiger King’s eyes were filled with fear. He was killed even before he finished speaking. How could this happen? Qin was so fast.
As a practitioner, Qin Haodong was invincible against those who were at the same level as himself. He was 100% sure that he would win if the enemy was a ninth-level master and he could fight with two of them even if it was risky.
But now there were four ninth-level masters and he would definitely be defeated if they took action at the same time or created a formation together.
Therefore, Qin Haodong took the opportunity and killed White Tiger King while he was still boasting. He performed his skill of Thief’s Legs and killed this man with the Xuan Yuan Sword.
A ninth-level master was killed before he had even pulled out the long sword on his back! What a shame!
The skill of Thief’s Legs was excellent. Qin killed White Tiger King and then turned the Xuan Yuan Sword into a stream of flowing light to kill Azure Dragon King before he even realized what had happened.
Only then did Azure Dragon King realize that the young man standing in front of them was not only good at formation. His skills and speed were also extraordinary.
He raised his long Saber in a panic and tried to confront Qin Haodong. But the Saber, which was no match for the Xuan Yuan Sword, was cut off with a snap and then Qin cleaved his sword through the body of Azure Dragon King, splitting it into two halves.
He was decisive and made decisions without any hesitation when fighting with great enemies.
Qin killed two ninth-level masters in a row before Vermilion Bird King and Black Tortoise King finally realized what had happened. They roared and rushed over with their Sabers in their hands.
Qin Haodong sighed with relief after he managed to kill his two enemies by launching a surprise attack. The other two were much easier to deal with for him now.
The three of them battled with each other and Qin Haodong soon had the upper hand. With his high cultivation and the sharp Xuan Yuan Sword, he easily kept them under control.
Vermilion Bird King and Black Tortoise King were even more frightened now because they had never expected that this young man was such a great master. They should not have come here to show off and fight with him, one on one.
They should have worked together or launched a sudden attack. In that way, they might have won and the other two kings might not have been killed. But it was useless to regret it and they could only try to survive now.
They had worked together for many years and had a tacit understanding of each other’s thoughts merely by an exchange of looks. Vermilion Bird King used all his cultivation and attacked Qin Haodong furiously with his Saber.
Then Black Tortoise King suddenly stopped attacking and rushed over at Li Jiumei, who was standing beside Qin.
They knew that the two of them might by killed by Qin Haodong if they did not take this woman as a hostage. Li Jiumei was the only hope for them.
Li Jiumei and her three brothers were watching them fight with each other. As warriors of Covert Power, they were astonished by the cultivation and the other three people were almost like God in their eyes.
They had only heard about ninth-level masters in stories and they had never seen one in real life. So Li Jiumei and her brothers had no idea how powerful these people were. But of course, they had to be stronger than them.
Seeing that Black Tortoise King was rushing toward them, the three brothers roared and immediately stood in front of their sister in an attempt to protect her.
But the three of them were no match for Black Tortoise King. He waved his hands gently and the three brothers were immediately blown ten meters away, breaking countless trees during the flight.
Li Jiumei had already known what was on his mind and she did not want to be a burden to Qin Haodong. She turned around and tried to run away, but the force of a ninth-level master was strong. Under his control, she could not even move her feet.
The big hand covered with black fur was getting closer and it was about to grab her neck. But suddenly a golden light appeared and the Xuan Yuan Sword directly went through the head of Black Tortoise King.
Poor Black Tortoise King died but not peacefully. He thought that the Xuan Yuan Sword was a great weapon, but he did not know that it was a flying sword.
Qin Haodong took the sword back and looked at Vermilion Bird King with a sneer on his face.
It would be difficult to kill them if they worked together. But Black Tortoise King thought he was so clever and made a bad choice. Their powers were decentralized and their lives were thus taken by Qin Haodong.
Vermilion Bird King was scared. He knew that he was no match for the young man standing in front of him. He lost all his courage to fight. He turned around and tried to run away.
He was quite fast, but the skill of Thief’s Legs was even faster than him. Qin Haodong appeared behind him within a few seconds and stabbed him with the Xuan Yuan Sword.
He put the sword away, looked at the four bodies on the ground and felt that he was lucky because they were stupid not to work together to kill him.
These four guys were too pretentious and did not learn from their last defeat. If they took him by surprise, attacked him or took Li Jiumei as a hostage from the start, he might have already been killed.
“Brother-in-law, you are amazing…”
“Brother-in-law, you are even stronger than us. Can you be our master?”
“Great! It seems to be out of order, but we want you to be our master and teach us martial arts. What do you think?”
They knew that Qin Haodong was a master even though they were not smart enough.
They were no match for the Black Tortoise King, who had just been defeated by Qin Haodong, which meant that Qin was much better than them.
Qin Haodong did not want to take them as disciples, otherwise, he would be really be angry on a daily basis.
“Big bro, you’re too smart and strong. I’m not qualified to be your teacher.”
The three brothers still wanted to say something else. Li Jiumei pushed them aside and asked Qin Haodong, “Who are they? Why did they come here to kill you?”
“It’s nothing, we used to be enemies!”
Qin Haodong did not want her to get involved, so he did not tell her the whole story. Li Jiumei was smart and also stopped asking further questions.
The three brothers threw the kings’ bodies off the cliff and they continued to walk in the direction of the Hmong Village.
After the battle, it was already dark when they arrived at the village. There were big red lanterns hanging at the gate of every house, which looked very festive in the night.
“Is there a happy event happening?”
Qin Haodong asked in surprise.
“We’ll open the Forbidden Area tomorrow, which is the biggest event for us. The day before opening the Forbidden Area is usually the wedding day of the Holy Virgin. So it is the busiest and happiest day in Hmong Village.”
While they were talking, they walked into the Village. But strangely, the streets paved with stone were quiet and there was no one around, although there were red lanterns hanging on the gates.
