”Celestial King, something’s not right!”

Long Wu said slowly, his expression somewhat grim.

Qin Tuo nodded as well. He had sensed a faint killing intent at the mouth of the alley.

Zhou Qihua, however, was completely bewildered, not understanding why the two of them had stopped walking.

Just as he was about to speak, a large group of people suddenly rushed out from the alley.

They were agile and fast, instantly surrounding the three men!

Qin Tuo scanned the group. There were more than a dozen of them, and every one of them had a sharp gaze, focused breathing, and a steady gait. They were clearly all experts.

After taking a closer look, Qin Tuo was even a little surprised.

All dozen or so of them were masters who had achieved major success in their Inner Strength cultivation.

One had to understand that a single person of this caliber would be considered a top-tier expert in Ming City!

He hadn’t expected to see more than a dozen of them here.

In that instant, Qin Tuo immediately guessed their true identity.

Long Wu’s face grew wary. He took two steps forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Qin Tuo.

Zhou Qihua, on the other hand, began to panic, having no idea why they had suddenly been ambushed.

”Hahaha...”

A sudden burst of laughter rang out. A stooped old man in a Tang suit slowly walked over.

The moment Qin Tuo saw this old man, he immediately sensed that this was a true master—someone who could only be described as unfathomable!

Faced with such a formidable lineup, it was doubtful that all the great families of Jin City and Ming City combined could muster such a force.

Qin Tuo knew at once. The only possibility was the Provincial City Jiang Family!

”Kid, you’re really courting death. You’ve offended someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend. Even if you had ten heads, you’d still die here today!”

The old man before them was none other than the Jiang Family’s butler, Uncle Zhong.

His eyes were filled with killing intent, locked firmly on Qin Tuo.

In his opinion, coming to Jin City personally with so many experts just to kill a nobody like Qin Tuo was complete overkill!

But when he thought about how Qin Tuo had crippled Jiang Liang’s arm, rage burned in Uncle Zhong’s heart.

After all, he had watched Jiang Liang grow up and regarded him as his own nephew.

Yet, Qin Tuo remained perfectly composed as he asked calmly:

”You must have been sent by the Jiang Family, right?”

Uncle Zhong’s face immediately filled with surprise. He sized Qin Tuo up for a moment.

”Kid, just a moment ago, I couldn’t understand why the master sent me to deal with you personally. But now I see you really do have some skills. It’s a shame, though. You’re still going to die here today!”

Beside them, Zhou Qihua’s expression changed at Qin Tuo’s words. He quickly asked:

”Brother Qin, when you say the Jiang Family... are you talking about the Provincial City Jiang Family?”

Qin Tuo nodded and replied:

”That’s right. They are assassins from the Provincial City Jiang Family.”

This sentence made Zhou Qihua’s lips tremble so badly he nearly fell over.

In all of Celestial South Province, who hadn’t heard of the Jiang Family, who were at the height of their power?

They held immense power in both legitimate and underworld circles—their strength was astonishing!

Throughout the entire Celestial South Province, what family would dare to oppose the Jiang Family?

And now, the Jiang Family had actually sent such a formidable group of assassins to ambush them personally.

A chill instantly ran through Zhou Qihua, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet!

Long Wu’s expression was also incredibly grave. As the Southwest Underground Emperor, he knew all too well just how terrifying the Jiang Family’s power was.

While Long Wu might have more men under his command, the Jiang Family controlled a large number of peak-level experts.

Experts like these, who had achieved major success in their Inner Strength, Long Wu couldn’t even produce a single one.

But the Jiang Family? They could casually dispatch more than a dozen to act as assassins!

After calming down a little, Zhou Qihua asked with a grim face:

”Brother Qin, what’s going on? How did you end up offending such a behemoth?”

’Even if I’m going to die, I should at least know why!’

But Qin Tuo just said casually:

”It’s nothing. I just crushed the Jiang Family’s young master’s arm, that’s all.”

The next moment, Zhou Qihua staggered back in terror, almost collapsing on the spot.

Crushing the Jiang Family’s young master’s arm was just ”that’s all”?

’This Qin Tuo is way too bold!’

Zhou Qihua thought to himself that Qin Tuo was definitely not someone to be trifled with, daring to provoke the Jiang Family.

’But since he’s offended the Jiang Family, is there any chance of survival?’

Zhou Qihua’s heart pounded violently as he wondered what he should do.

Meanwhile, seeing Qin Tuo’s nonchalant attitude, Uncle Zhong’s anger began to smolder.

He gritted his teeth and said viciously:

”Kid, you’ve got some nerve. You’re at death’s door, and you still dare to spout such arrogant nonsense!”

Qin Tuo just smiled casually.

”Oh? And you’re so confident you can take my life?”

Even now, Qin Tuo still looked completely unconcerned.

The group of masters who had achieved major success in their Inner Strength were all brimming with killing intent, just waiting for Uncle Zhong’s order to rush forward and hack Qin Tuo to pieces.

Uncle Zhong’s expression grew darker. He said coldly:

”Kid, with so many of us here, I refuse to believe you can sprout wings and fly away. Today, I’ll show you the consequences of offending the Jiang Family!”

As his voice fell, his killing intent became almost palpable, slowly radiating outward.

Even Long Wu frowned deeply, sensing that this Uncle Zhong was not to be provoked!

As for Zhou Qihua, a normal person, he was so scared that goosebumps covered his entire body, and he slowly took a few steps back.

Qin Tuo said with a scornful look:

”If that’s the case, then bring it on. Let me see what you’ve got!”

Seeing that Qin Tuo was still talking tough, Uncle Zhong knew it was time to make him bleed.

He waved his hand and shouted:

”Everyone else, get lost! I only want this kid’s life. But if I change my mind in a little while, you won’t be able to leave!”

Hearing the heavy threat in his words, Zhou Qihua was so frightened he nearly collapsed.

Qin Tuo, ever so considerate, said:

”Mr. Zhou, you should go first. Go and meet up with Manni and the others.”

Zhou Qihua immediately asked back.

”Brother Qin, what about you?”

Qin Tuo gave a carefree smile and said:

”Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll be there in a bit.”

Hearing Qin Tuo speak so casually, Uncle Zhong ground his teeth in hatred.

The dozen or so experts at the side also felt they had been offended, and the killing intent radiating from them surged!

Zhou Qihua subconsciously nodded, preparing to leave.
