The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

"What is this place?"

The sisters behind her were down to just a few, yet Wang Yufei showed no sorrow at all. Instead, she asked blankly.

Beside her, Young Master Jade Sword said coldly, "Wang Yufei, you already picked the wrong side once. Now I hope you think it through—are you going to offend me, or offend this little bastard?"

Wang Yufei’s face was full of confusion. "Ming Wu, what are you talking about?"

"Hmph! I’m about to cut down this bastard right now. Are you going to step in and stop me?"

Young Master Jade Sword drew his Jade Sword, clearly ready to strike at any moment.

Following his gaze, Wang Yufei saw Qin Hao and her eyes widened a little, as if slightly surprised. But soon, her gaze dimmed and she said coolly, "What does your business have to do with me?"

This answer was, without a doubt, a refusal.

"Very good." Young Master Jade Sword showed a pleased smile, then fixed his eyes on Wang Xuance and Ye Ruxue. "Now it’s your turn. Are you going to go against me, or walk away from this little bastard?"

Wang Xuance became hesitant. On one side was Qin Hao, who had just helped him. On the other was the far more numerous Young Master Jade Sword. What should he do?

Just then, Young Master Yuqiang shouted from the side, "Wang Xuance, even if you all add up, you’re only six people, while we’re twelve. With such a huge gap in strength, do you still not get it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ruxue said blandly, "I won’t intervene."

"Ye Ruxue, you—?"

Wang Xuance was shocked by Ye Ruxue’s move.

Weren’t you and Qin Hao the ones who went through the Illusion Mirror together?

A companion through life-and-death hardship, and you just throw him away like that?

Qin Hao showed a wry smile. Of course he knew Ye Ruxue was doing this out of spite.

After all, he’d secretly watched this queen bathe; by rights she should have been planning to kill him.

For her to not meddle was already a huge act of mercy.

"My choice is the same as Miss Ye’s."

Wang Xuance said this, shook his head, and walked off with his subordinates, not daring to look at Qin Hao at all.

Seeing this, Qin Hao’s eyes turned cold.

He could understand Ye Ruxue leaving; queens have their tempers too.

But Wang Xuance acting like this was really a bit like kicking someone when they’re down, utterly ungrateful.

Still, Qin Hao didn’t take it to heart.

His relationship with Wang Xuance was just a bit of playacting; if you really thought about it, the two of them didn’t even count as friends.

And people who aren’t friends aren’t worth Qin Hao’s concern.

"Hahahaha! Little bastard, looks like you’ve been isolated now, huh?" Young Master Jade Sword laughed wildly as he led his men, slowly closing in on Qin Hao. "Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Let’s see where you run now!"

Young Master Jade Sword’s threat gave Qin Hao a sudden idea, and he shouted, "Young Master Jade Sword, what do you think of this throne behind me?"

"Throne?"

Young Master Jade Sword and the others instinctively looked toward Qin Hao’s back.

The gray throne crouched there quietly. Clearly just an inanimate object, yet it carried a murderous, kingly pressure.

The next moment—

"Ah!"

Young Master Jade Sword let out a miserable scream. His body trembled violently, as if he were enduring tremendous pain.

The disciples behind him whose cultivation was weaker fared even worse—every last one of them dropped to their knees, their bones making "crack crack" grinding sounds, as if their bodies might be crushed by the oppressive pressure at any moment.

"This..."

Wang Xuance and the other onlookers were secretly shocked. Qin Hao had really screwed this group over!

It was worth mentioning that Wang Yufei and a few disciples accidentally glanced at the throne as well, and suffered under its majesty.

Ye Ruxue couldn’t stand watching any longer. She walked over, flicked her hand casually, and broke their line of sight.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Saintess!" After regaining their senses, a few female disciples knelt despite their pain and saluted Ye Ruxue.

Ye Ruxue didn’t say much. She just looked at Wang Yufei, her eyes complicated.

"Hmph."

Even after being saved, Wang Yufei had no intention of apologizing.

To her, being saved by her political enemy Ye Ruxue was pure humiliation.

Besides, while that throne’s majesty was strong, she was confident she could have broken free on her own.

"Forget it."

Ye Ruxue had long grown used to Wang Yufei’s hostile attitude. She shook her head and turned her gaze back to the battlefield.

At this moment, the Jade Sword in Young Master Jade Sword’s hand had fallen to the ground. His fists were clenched so tight that his nails dug into his flesh.

As blood flowed, the pain shocked him awake, and he forced his gaze away.

Only after that oppressive pressure vanished did he realize he was drenched in cold sweat.

"What kind of throne is this? How can it be so terrifying?"

The shock in Young Master Jade Sword’s heart only lasted a moment before it vanished, replaced by overwhelming rage.

"This bastard knew that throne couldn’t be looked at, so he deliberately set me up?"

Thinking this, Young Master Jade Sword’s furious roar echoed on the spot: "You damned bastard! I’m going to tear you to pieces!"

As his shout rang out, he saw Qin Hao walking toward the stone table beside the throne.

On that stone table lay a book, titled "Heaven Mending Technique."

"Heaven Mending Technique? Isn’t this one of the targets Grandpa gave me?"

Young Master Jade Sword was startled, then his face lit up with fanaticism.

That was the Heaven Mending Technique, the legendary strongest Secret Technique of the Immortal Race. Once obtained, ruling the mortal world wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Compared to seizing such an Immortal Technique, killing Qin Hao was nothing worth mentioning!

"Not good!"

The heat in Young Master Jade Sword’s heart hadn’t lasted even a second before he snapped back to his senses. Qin Hao was heading toward the Heaven Mending Technique—didn’t that mean he was about to seize it?

"Bastard, how dare you!"

Young Master Jade Sword roared in fury, grabbed his Jade Sword, and charged at Qin Hao at full speed.

When he reached within ten zhang of the stone table, a heavy force suddenly formed on his back.

His body jolted and his forward momentum slowed drastically.

"There’s pressure here too?"

While Young Master Jade Sword was still astonished, Wang Xuance and the others behind him snapped awake.

"They’re trying to seize the Heaven Mending Technique?"

"No, we can’t let them succeed just like that. That’s a Supreme Immortal Technique!"

Wang Xuance’s face flickered between dark and light several times before turning firm. "Agreeing to sit on the fence is one thing, but I can’t just leave the Heaven Mending Technique alone!"

So he led a group of subordinates and charged after them. Nearby, Wang Yufei and Ye Ruxue also changed expressions slightly and followed close behind.

In an instant, everyone had joined the battle to snatch the Heaven Mending Technique.

As expected, just like Young Master Jade Sword, the moment they stepped within ten zhang of the Heaven Mending Technique, a sudden pressure slammed into them, and everyone’s bodies bore a heavy burden.

"This pressure feels awful!"

"And it seems the closer we get, the stronger it becomes!"

Everyone was groaning. The pressure was like a small mountain pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe, let alone walk, so every step became especially difficult.

Unlike the others’ struggles, the prodigies like Young Master Jade Sword, Young Master Silver Spear, Wang Xuance, and Ye Ruxue, although their speed slowed, still moved steadily forward, seemingly not too affected.

"So this is the strength of prodigies?"

"To walk so steadily under such heavy pressure, how terrifying!"

The ones lagging behind clicked their tongues in awe, when suddenly someone shouted, "Look at Qin Hao!"

Following the voice, everyone looked over and saw Qin Hao in the lead, striding toward the Heaven Mending Technique.

His speed wasn’t fast, but it was extremely steady. Each step wasn’t large, but it was incomparably firm.

And the distance he had opened up already left all the prodigies behind him far in the dust!
