Cheng Yinghao did not back down and stared at Xu Haifeng, slowly and heavily saying a sentence: "Good."

  At this moment, if he showed a hint of hesitation or fear, then from now on, he would never be able to hold his head up in front of others.

  Just as the two were about to fight again, Emperor Xian of Han, who was sitting on the throne, slapped his dragon-shaped desk heavily and said, "You all stop for me."

  Xu and Cheng were both startled at the same time, and they hastily turned around and fell to the ground in a bow.

  "How dare you privately invite a duel in front of me? Do you still have me in your eyes?" Emperor Han Xian angrily said.

  "I know I am guilty, please calm your anger, Your Majesty."

  The Han Emperor was actually not really as angry as he seemed on the surface, but if he really let these two fight it out, this grudge would be hard to get rid of in the future. However, he did not know that Xu Haifeng and Chengs family were already sworn enemies with no room for maneuver.

  Including Fang Ling Tian, they thought that the Cheng family was going to make things difficult for Xu Haifeng in order to avenge Qin Yongs crippling of Cheng Kuian on the school grounds. In fact, it wasnt like that; only Xu Haifeng and the core members of the Cheng family knew that their hatred had been sown since the moment Linan City was broken.

  Cheng Jiaxiong dominated the south for hundreds of years, and had long been dissatisfied. He took advantage of Caesars invasion to persuade Emperor Xian of Han to personally lead a campaign against him.

  Moreover, Cheng Xian, the second person in the younger generation of the Cheng family, contacted the Kaisa people and made a plan to lure the enemy into the trap. Once the Han army was defeated, they would assist the Kaisa people in capturing Emperor Xian of Han alive. Then, the Cheng family could take advantage of the chaos to establish itself as a kingdom in the south and eventually compete for control of the Central Plains.

  Everything was going smoothly, but no one expected that a character like Xu Haifeng would appear, leading Qin Yong and Zhebie, two freaks, to actually take down the solid Linan City.

  The entire abacus of Chengs family was disrupted, and not only that, the furious Caesar snatched away Cheng Yingjie, who was either dead or alive, but definitely had more misfortune than good fortune.

  It all boils down to Xu Haifeng causing trouble, and Cheng Yinghao cant help but hate him to the bone.

  Similarly, Xu Haifeng also had no good feelings towards the Cheng family. Without mentioning their private collusion with foreign enemies and betrayal of the country, just because of Lin Wanting alone, it was enough to make him not share the same sky as the Cheng family.

  "Thats the end of the matter, and no one is allowed to mention it again. As for this imperial examination, I have personally selected Xu Haifeng as the top scholar." Seeing Gu Daoxu wanting to speak again, Emperor Hanxians face sank, saying: "My mind is made up, theres no need to discuss further."

  Finally, the imperial examination came to an end. Xu Haifeng took his leave and went first, originally wanting to wait for Tang Rouer outside the hall to thank her for her help. But after a while, there was still no sign of her, so he had to give up.

  Back at the camp, he detailed todays events to Jiang Kung-ming. Jiang Kung-ming angrily said: "The students hate this kind of traitor who betrays their country for personal gain. They wouldnt have come to provoke us if they didnt want to die. Hmph! If I dont give them a lesson that will last an eternity, then Im not Jiang Kung-ming!"

  Xu Haifeng was overjoyed when he heard this and hastily asked him for a plan.

  Jiang Kongming smiled mysteriously and said, "I report to Your Excellency, I have selected some soldiers from the Black Flag Army to form a special ability team. Please come and inspect."

  "Whats an ability group?" Xǔ Hǎifēng asked strangely.

  Jiang Kung-ming led Hui Hu to a large tent, pointing at the seven people lined up in a row inside: "They are part of the fifty-odd people selected by the students. As for what special abilities they have, Ill let you see for yourself."

  After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and beckoned someone over, saying: "Number One, show your special ability to the master."

  "Yes." The number one bowed respectfully and then fell silent.

  Xu Haifeng stared at him intently, but after waiting for half a moment, he still didnt see any movement from him. He felt strange and urged: "That thing of yours... what is it exactly?"

  "Didnt you see it, milord?" Jiang Gongming asked in surprise.

  Glaring at him with a scowl, his eyes were already sour, but this number one didnt even fart, and he still wanted me to watch something. In anger, he said: "Jiang Junshi, stop teasing me, in short, whatever you want to do, just do it, I wont oppose it."

  Jiang Kongming shook his head and said, "No good, the special ability team wants to make a big success, it must have the main lords great help. Number one, you perform again. Wait, come on, number two, number three, you all come together to perform a combination, just like the one I taught you last time to coordinate, do well and this military advisor will heavily reward you. Lord, please pay attention, look at the wine table."

  The wine table? Xu Haifengs old face turned slightly red, it wasnt looking at this person after all. He coughed and turned his head to look at the wine table behind him. However, he only turned halfway, and suddenly stopped, maintaining a half-turned posture.

  Good heavens! Xu Haifeng exclaimed in his heart, what did I just see?

  No one was seen around the wine table, but the white jade cup on the wine table was slowly and steadily rising.

  It was as if a transparent person had picked it up, and the wine cup suddenly began to rotate slowly and move backwards. Three steps behind the wine table was a relatively complete skull, which was selected by Jiang Kongming after secretly digging seven graves. The torso was intact, with a pale color, and it seemed to be quite old.

  Unfortunately, the three Andrew brothers, who were all top-notch experts, actually became tomb robbers under Jiang Kung-mings instructions. Of course, apart from the bones, Jiang Kung-ming also took some burial objects by the way. According to him, these were ownerless items, and it would be a waste to leave them there, so they might as well be given to him for recycling.

  The wine cup moved to the top of the skull, and it was suspended in mid-air without any support. Xu Haifeng blinked his eyes with difficulty, making sure he wasnt seeing things. But what happened next made him even more terrified - the skull that had been lying flat on the ground suddenly let out a faint "heh heh" sound.

  Xu Haifengs body hair stood on end, a cold sweat seeped out from the back of his heart without him realizing it. Now is a sunny day with clear sky and bright air, how could he possibly encounter a ghost?

  What disappointed Xu Haifeng was that he seemed to have really seen a ghost.

  The skull on the ground shook and struggled, slowly propping up its hands, supporting its feet, and swaying back and forth as it stood up.

  It twisted its shoulders and imitated the human form, twisting its waist, with a series of ear-piercing "ga ga" sounds coming from the friction between bones.

  Then, it took over the wine cup suspended in mid-air, filled with half-full wine and fragrance.

  It took a big step forward, slowly moving towards Xu Haifengs direction, like a one-year-old child who had just learned to walk, but walked unsteadily.

  Witnessing such a bizarre scene, Xu Haifeng only felt his sweat dripping down, but his body had no warmth at all, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. A chill ran along his spine to the top of his head. His upper and lower teeth began to chatter uncontrollably, also making a series of fine "heh heh" sounds.

  The skull took a few steps, and suddenly Xu Haifeng felt that the space in front of him seemed to ripple, as if what was in front of him wasnt air, but a water curtain. A small stone had been thrown into the water, causing ripples.

  When everything calmed down, Xu Haifeng seemed to realize that something was missing in front of him. His brain couldnt accept the reality he saw before his eyes and automatically shut down. Half a minute later, he came back to himself and realized that the skull that could walk on its own was gone.

  Whats going on? Could it be that Im dreaming, no mistake, I must be dreaming. Im really too tired today, and Ive actually seen an illusion. This wont do, I need to go back and get some more sleep right away, he thought to himself in self-deception.

  At this moment, he felt something strange beside him. He turned his head to look and saw two pupils suddenly enlarging to their maximum size on his left side. The skull that had just disappeared was now holding a cup with both hands, facing him, and in its empty eye sockets, a thread of green ghost fire flickered. At this time, Jiang Kongming suddenly whispered in his ear: "Please drink the wine."

  Xu Haifeng was originally already mentally unstable, and suddenly hearing him speak was like the last straw that broke the camels back. His nerves could no longer withstand such stimulation, and he didnt even hear what he said clearly. He opened his throat with all his might and unconsciously let out a loud cry: "Ah..."

  The skull in front of him seemed to be stimulated, and it also imitated Xu Haifengs appearance just now, with the upper and lower two rows of teeth colliding "heh heh" straight.

  "Ahh...!" Xu Haifeng flipped his right hand, using the Giant Spirit Palm Technique with all his might. A loud crash was heard from in front of him. He didnt dare to look at the result and turned around to flee, escaping from the camp. At this time, the scorching sun was high in the sky, but standing under its fiery rays, he still felt a chill in his heart, and his body involuntarily trembled with fear.

  Jiang Kongming in the tent looked at the skull that had turned into a white powder and muttered to himself: "Is it too stimulating? No way, Ive seen horror movies that are scarier than this."

  Outside the camp, there was a commotion at this time. Xu Haifengs loud shout was like a thunderclap on a clear day, shaking several miles away. Except for Lin Wanxian and three women in the camp, all the others were soldiers who had drunk blood wine. They were simple-minded, but they were extremely loyal to Xu Haifeng. As soon as they heard Xu Haifengs voice revealing extreme panic, they immediately put down their current tasks and rushed towards here.

  Along the way, I dont know how many camps were trampled mercilessly. The first six to arrive were those six top-notch experts. They surrounded Xu Haifeng and searched around with their eyes, but where could they find any signs of the enemy?

  Then came Zhebie with a handheld sky bow and Qin Yong waving his vinegar jar-like fists. The outermost were the three thousand blood wine warriors, such an array, Im afraid that even if there really are ghosts, they would be scared away.
