Boarding Life

Chapter 772 772

Under the pressure, Wan Hao and Ming Hu felt their bodies stiffen as if a mountain were pressing down on them.

"This, this..."

Wan Hao and Ming Hu's pupils contracted.

Judging by the trend of this pressure, Zhang Jinkui's cultivation had at least reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Such cultivation would overwhelm even the combined forces of their two families.

Qin Qi naturally noticed the distress on Wan Hao and Ming Hu's faces.

He sighed, "Uncle Wan, Patriarch Ming, I appreciate your goodwill, but at this point, you needn't concern yourselves with me any longer."

Ming Hu raised his eyelids and sighed, "Forget it, Qin Qi, I've done my best!"

Wan Hao pondered for a long while before gritting his teeth, "Zhang Jinkui, everything has a price. What do you want for Qin Qi's life?"

"Everything is negotiable, as long as his life is spared."

Zhang Jinkui laughed coldly, "Wan Hao, do you think I'm senile?"

"This kid has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at such a young age. If I let him go today, in two years, I might not even be able to deal with him."

"A single young man can determine the rise and fall of a family. No matter the price, do you think I will be moved?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Hao's face turned ashen.

His fear was that Zhang Jinkui was not muddleheaded and was, in fact, well aware of the implications.

He sighed again, his expression caught in indecision, as if he still wanted to strive for something for Qin Qi.

Ming Hu, however, was already leading his people out of the Zhang Family residence.

Zhang Jinkui snorted coldly, "Wan Hao, if you still don't understand, then fine, I don't mind dealing with both Qin Qi and you today!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Hao's expression tightened, and a voice entered Qin Qi's mind, "Qin Qi, when the fight starts, you should leave first. Zhang Jinkui won't dare kill me because of the Dao Inference Department, which would disrupt the balance of the Five Great Clans."

"I will do my best to buy you time. As long as you escape alive, there is still hope!"

Qin Qi was slightly startled. He understood this was a transmission through Divine Thought.

Now, he could also do the same.

He looked at the other's back, grateful.

Wan Hao was actually standing up to Zhang Jinkui for him.

Though it was true that the other was gambling on his future, to bet to such an extent was indeed a kindness.

Zhang Jinkui seemed to notice Wan Hao's small actions and harshly said, "Hmph, courting death!"

With a wave of his hand, he made a downward pressing motion, and as mana surged around him, a semblance formed behind him.

This semblance took the same action as he did, pressing down on Wan Hao and Qin Qi with thunderous momentum.

"Qin Qi, run!" Wan Hao shouted in anger.

He manipulated the elements, forming solid winds to intercept the vast waves.

And Qin Qi, naturally not hesitating, seeing Wan Hao create a chance for him, prepared to flee.

Ming Hu, seeing this, shook his head lightly, "Wan Hao still won't give up. In trying to carve out a chance for Qin Qi, he's sacrificing himself."

"Though Zhang Jinkui won't dare truly kill Wan Hao, this act is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly pointless!"

In his eyes, rescuing Qin Qi was already impossible.

Despite Wan Hao's struggle, what use was it?

Everything indeed unfolded as Ming Hu envisioned.

Even as strong as Wan Hao was, under Zhang Jinkui's attack, he only held out for a few breaths.

After that, his body was sent flying back.

Meanwhile, Qin Qi, despite exerting himself with his Cloud-Stepping technique, in just a few breaths, had only managed to escape the Zhang Family compound.

But just as he fled the Zhang Family's boundary,

The enormous semblance suddenly clenched within the void.

Qin Qi felt enveloped by an unseen force, his movements no longer under his control.

"Not good!"

His complexion changed drastically.

Even at the same stage, Zhang Jinkui's semblance was significantly more treacherous than Zhang Sihai's.

Zhang Sihai, seeing Qin Qi captured, sneered, "Qin Qi, still thinking of running?"

Zhang Jinkui, holding Qin Qi at a distance, expressionless, said, "Indeed young and promising, but alas, not one of our Zhang Family."

"Better strike before anything changes, kill you first to avoid complications..."

As he spoke, the semblance behind him moved to make a 'gripping' action.

And Qin Qi felt a savage force closing in from all directions, ready to crush him like a paper ball at any moment!

"It's over..."

All who witnessed this scene knew it was the end.

Even Qin Qi felt there was no longer any turning point.

Yet, at that moment!

The semblance that had been poised to clench was suddenly halted by some immense force.

Upon closer inspection, a blue light shield manifested around Qin Qi. Under this shield, no matter how Zhang Jinkui attempted to claim Qin Qi's life, it was in vain.

"What is going on!"

Everyone was astounded.

Only Zhang Jinkui shouted in anger, "Who's there, come out!"

"Zhang Jinkui, calm yourself!"

Following a gentle voice, two figures appeared in the scene.

As these two appeared, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's them!"

"But why are they saving Qin Qi..."

These two were none other than Master Bai Ling of the Dao Inference Department and Monk Huiming!

A mysterious woman chuckled softly, "Just as I thought, they wouldn't let you die!"

Qin Qi exhaled in relief as he heard the mysterious woman.

He had known some of the Zhang Family's strength before coming.

He never took risks without assurance. His confidence in coming was because the mysterious woman had said these two would ensure nothing went wrong!

Zhang Jinkui, seeing them arrive, also looked particularly grave.

But seemingly apprehensive, Zhang Jinkui had no choice but to say solemnly, "Master Bai Ling, Master Huiming, what do you two mean by this!"

Master Bai Ling, hands behind his back, replied, "The Dao Inference Department has its rules, Brother Zhang should understand this. Your power no longer qualifies you to act in the Martial Arts District."

Zhang Jinkui retorted harshly, "Brother Bai Ling, you mean to let this young one wreak havoc in our Zhang Family unchecked, and I, Zhang Jinkui, should just watch?"

Master Bai Ling was momentarily speechless.

This affair was indeed Qin Qi's fault.

Nonetheless, after much thought, he spoke firmly, "Let this matter end here today. We will take Qin Qi away!"

Hearing this, everyone present was left in a daze.

Because Master Bai Ling's words couldn't be clearer.

It was evident that he planned to forcibly take Qin Qi away.
