Super War God in the City

Qi He's expression grew solemn, and the hand behind his back instinctively tightened.

Upon seeing the arrival of the boss Xiang Hao, Zha You was instantly invigorated and hurried forward, "Boss, you're here. Sorry to disturb your meditation, I really am!"

"Spit it out, what exactly is going on!" Xiang Hao said indifferently, knowing that Zha You would not disturb him without something special.

Zha You quickly reported the situation, and after finishing, pointed at Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu, "Boss, it's these two, do you find them satisfactory?"

After hearing this, Xiang Hao immediately followed the direction of Zha You's pointing finger.

Upon laying eyes on them, he felt a brightness before him and nodded slightly, "Hmm, not bad, well considered, keep these two!"

The first time Xiang Hao laid eyes on Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu, he was quite taken with them. Both had exceptional beauty, impeccable, a truly unexpected pleasant surprise.

Su Qiong and the others immediately changed expressions. Who did this guy think he was, deciding their fates with just a single sentence?

"Oh, and I've heard you've been a busybody, poking your nose into others' business?" Then, Xiang Hao turned his gaze to Qi He.

As these words were spoken, the scene quieted down again, everyone's gaze landing on Qi He.

Su Qiong and the others looked over with a tumult of feelings inside; Qi He was their only hope now. If even Qi He couldn't protect them, they were truly done for!

Zha You, standing to the side, was gloating and snorted, "Damn it, weren't you acting all high and mighty just now, telling me to get lost? Now that our boss is here, try repeating what you said!"

Facing Xiang Hao, and with so many eyes on him, Qi He also felt enormous pressure.

After taking a deep breath, his tone softened somewhat and he said indifferently, "These people have some relations with me. Could you do me a favor and not make things difficult for them?"

In saying this, Qi He was clearly making concessions, suggesting he was negotiating with Xiang Hao.

By the side, Su Qiong and the others felt uncomfortable and teary-eyed. To protect them, Old Qi was actually speaking humbly to a student of the academy, even setting aside his own pride.

"Damn it, has Old Ghost Qi gone mad, lowering his dignity, stubbornly protecting these useless ones?" Wan Long, standing on the side, said in bewilderment.

"Elder Wan, could it be this old man has something going on with those two female disciples?" Lian Cheng chuckled maliciously.

Hearing this, the other Elders couldn't help but exchange looks and snicker.

Just then, Xiang Hao spoke up, "Heh, it's not that I refuse, but do you even carry any respect?"

When these words were uttered, you could hear a pin drop. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

Qi He's breathing instantly became labored. Xiang Hao was utterly dismissive, with one phrase, "Do you even carry any respect?"

That phrase 'smacked' Qi He's face resoundly, despite his thick skin, he couldn't bear it any longer.

Behind Qi He, Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu's faces flushed with anger, and Wu Rao's expression turned extremely ugly, although they felt infuriated.

But this Xiang Hao was a genuine Grandmaster Realm expert, and if things turned violent, they would not have the upper hand.

"Xiang Hao, I've decided to protect these people today. If you want to harm them, you'll have to step over my dead body first!" Qi He steeled himself inside, deciding to make a bold gamble, betting that Ling Fan would return safely.

He had been frustrated in the academy for most of his life, more than fed up with it. Now, with most of his body in the grave, what did he have left to fear from death?

If this gamble paid off, with Ling Fan around, he would never have to endure such humiliation in the academy again. Even if he didn't personally receive Ling Fan's gratitude, it would still be a boon for his descendants.

Besides, as an Academy Elder, even if Xiang Hao were audacious, he didn't believe he would truly dare to kill him—it would be a challenge and disrespect to the leadership of the academy.

By then, even if Xiang Hao were formidable, the Supreme Elders and the head of the Inner Academy might not stand by idly.

After Qi He said these words, he shocked everyone around him!

"Holy shit, Elder Qi and the prominent household are really at it, this is playing for keeps!" Many of the older students were stunned.

"It seems that those useless lot have a deep connection with Elder Qi; they actually risk their lives to protect him!"

"So, what do you guys think Xiang Hao will do next?"

"Hard to say, since Elder Qi is after all a tutor at the academy, Xiang Hao definitely wouldn't dare to kill him, but leaving him crippled or something, I guess that's inevitable!"

Suddenly, a group of older students started whispering to each other and a buzz of discussion arose.

Su Qiong bit her lip, holding back tears; she hadn't expected Qi He to actually risk his life to protect them, which was clearly not simply because of Ling Fan's face.

This act of kindness had indebted them. Zhou Siyu, Fan Zhan, Zuo Zhengqing, and Jiang Shi all bit their lips until they bled, glaring fiercely at Xiang Hao, wishing to tear him to pieces.

"Unbelievable, has Qi He really gone mad?" Liang Dang's face looked ugly.

If it were said that Su Qiong and the others had some talent, that would be one thing, but a bunch of straw bag trash, is it worth risking their lives to protect them?

Chao Liang and the rest of the new students were also filled with surprise, unable to comprehend Qi He's protective attitude toward Su Qiong and the others.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiang Hao's face suddenly turned dark, his eyes revealing a ferocious and savage color.

"You old coot, do you really think I don't dare to lay a hand on you, today, I, Xiang Hao, will freaking do just that!" Xiang Hao said through clenched teeth, pausing after each word.

After the last word was uttered, his figure suddenly moved, and he threw a punch like thunder, striking swiftly towards Qi He.

Qi He, on high alert, immediately sensed danger and his eyes bulged as he pumped energy through his arms, crossing them in front of his chest to block, for they were too close for any other action.

He hadn't expected Xiang Hao to dare to move against him in the presence of the entire academy, without any hesitation or concern.

"How audacious!"

"How dare you!"

Wu Rao, Zhong Rong, and Zheng Yu immediately changed complexion and cried out. But everything happened too quickly.

At such a close distance, and with Xiang Hao making the move himself, they simply couldn't intervene in time, nor could they have stopped him!

"Bang!"

A muffled grunt, and Qi He felt as though he'd been hit by a wild buffalo, his arms instantly numbed, and then, his whole body flew backwards.

He flew over ten meters before finally falling to the ground with a 'thud'; Qi He felt as if all his bones had scattered, and for a moment, he couldn't get up.

This scene completely stunned everyone.

"Damn it, Xiang Hao really is explosively temperamental, striking an academy elder just like that.

Qi He might as well stop associating with the academy after this; he must be the first tutor in the academy's history to be beaten up by a student!" an older student said in astonishment.

"Cough cough... He must be the most downtrodden and frustrated elder in the history of Zhongnan Academy!" another added with a sheepish expression.

Su Qiong, Zhou Siyu, Wu Rao, and others ran nervously toward Qi He, while injured Fan Zhan and Jiang Shi lay on the ground, powerless beyond their anger, unable to do anything.

"Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that you are an academy elder, my punch just now would've guaranteed you a meeting with King Yan; if you dare to utter another word of nonsense, I'll freaking break your limbs!" Xiang Hao said coldly.

"Elder Qi, how are you!" Su Qiong and the others rushed to Qi He's side and helped him up, looking very anxious.

"Cough cough, I'm fine!" Qi He said, his face flushed red with anger and humiliation.

Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu glared at Xiang Hao, their eyes red; even faced with him, they didn't dare to speak out!

"Xiang Hao, you've gone too far!" Wu Rao's pretty face was frosty as she stood in front of Qi He and others.
