Seeing that Xue Chengdong seemed a little distrustful, Jin Hongtao made a suggestion.

”How about this, President Xue? If you don’t believe me, I can let you test it out.”

Xue Chengdong’s face was filled with astonishment. He never expected Jin Hongtao to actually want to experiment with something so dangerous.

Hoping to dissuade Jin Hongtao, Xue Chengdong could only offer a polite smile and say,

”How could I not believe you, Master Jin? Since you’ve said as much, I’ll just leave these things behind tomorrow.”

However, Jin Hongtao and Ma Youcai both knew that Xue Chengdong was still skeptical.

Besides, they were determined to promote the reputation of Xingyi Hall in front of outsiders, so they had made up their minds to put on a good show today.

With that in mind, Jin Hongtao smiled.

”It’s no problem, President Xue. Today, I’ll show you how a high-level Martial Artist can stand up to modern firearms!”

His apprentice, Ma Youcai, boasted from the side,

”President Xue, my master’s ability to dodge bullets is second to none! We have a rare opportunity today, so let us show you a real spectacle!”

Since both master and apprentice had said as much, Xue Chengdong found it hard to refuse.

”Everyone, stand back! We don’t want any innocent people getting hurt!”

Xue Chengdong waved his hand. Qin Tuo, Huang Junkai, and the others stood up and retreated some distance, watching the scene unfold in silence.

Jin Hongtao stood front and center, completely fearless.

Xue Chengdong then took a gun and stood over ten meters away, preparing himself.

At such a close range, he found it hard to believe that anyone could dodge a bullet.

The hand Xue Chengdong held the gun with trembled slightly from nerves.

Huang Junkai couldn’t help but lean in and ask in a curious, hushed voice,

”Mr. Qin, do you think this Jin Hongtao can actually dodge the shot?”

Huang Junkai wasn’t a Martial Artist, so of course he wouldn’t know.

But Qin Tuo just smiled and shook his head.

”Even if he can dodge a bullet, it doesn’t really mean anything.”

Others might not have known, but how could Qin Tuo not understand?

Once a Martial Artist reached the Grandmaster Realm, their speed and reflexes would take a massive leap, and their ability to react to their surroundings would far surpass that of an ordinary person.

Therefore, dodging a bullet wasn’t a particularly impressive feat.

Hearing this, Huang Junkai was still a little surprised, finding it hard to believe such a scene could actually happen in real life.

Seeing that Xue Chengdong was hesitating to fire, Jin Hongtao waved his hand and said with a laugh,

”President Xue, what are you afraid of? Just shoot!”

So, Xue Chengdong nodded, calmed his nerves, aimed directly at Jin Hongtao’s chest, and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

As the shot rang out, everyone watched intently, not daring to blink.

To everyone’s astonishment, they discovered that in a split second, Jin Hongtao had truly used a rapid Body Technique to shift his position and dodge the bullet.

Jin Hongtao patted the dust from his sleeves, striking the pose of a transcendent master!

A group of disciples from Xingyi Hall immediately snapped out of their shock and began to cheer loudly.

Xue Chengdong, on the other hand, was frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

Ma Youcai also began to shout excitedly.

”Haha! Master, you’re so fast that even a bullet can’t touch you! Incredible!”

Everyone else joined in with applause, deepening the smug expression on Jin Hongtao’s face.

Seeing this, Xue Chengdong quickly gave Jin Hongtao a thumbs-up, thoroughly and utterly convinced.

But what no one noticed was that the bullet had struck a smooth pillar and ricocheted, now hurtling straight for Xue Qingqing’s head!

In the nick of time, Qin Tuo shot out his hand and caught the bullet in his palm.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he slowly sat back down in his original spot.

However, Xue Qingqing, the one who had nearly been hit, was terrified, her face completely pale!

She had just felt death brush past her. If Qin Tuo hadn’t acted at that critical moment, she would have been shot.

Having seen with her own eyes that Qin Tuo could catch a bullet bare-handed...

She finally understood. This man was the real deal!

Unfortunately, no one else had noticed this scene. Only Xue Qingqing had seen what happened.

Xue Qingqing swallowed hard and said in a low voice,

”Qin Tuo, you’re incredible... Thank you. I would have been in real danger if not for you...”

But Qin Tuo just gave a nonchalant smile and said,

”It was nothing. A trivial effort.”

After speaking, Qin Tuo handed the bullet from his palm to Xue Qingqing.

Xue Qingqing’s face filled with confusion, and she stared blankly at Qin Tuo.

Qin Tuo said casually,

”You can have it. A little souvenir.”

Xue Qingqing stared at the bullet in her palm, her face a mask of shock.

Moreover, she noticed the bullet was slightly dented by Qin Tuo’s fingers, and she was even more astounded, unable to speak.

Now, Xue Qingqing was even more interested in Qin Tuo. She desperately wanted to know what this man’s story was, why he was shrouded in so many mysterious auras.

Meanwhile, Xue Chengdong was completely oblivious that his daughter had just had another brush with death.

He was still praising Jin Hongtao’s amazing skills, a sycophantic smile plastered on his face.

Having shown off his skills, Jin Hongtao was very pleased with everyone’s reaction.

At the very least, outsiders would now know how formidable Xingyi Hall was.

His face flushed with excitement, Xue Chengdong said,

”Master Jin, with you and your many skilled disciples joining our cause, who could possibly stand in the way of my Xue Family tomorrow?”

Jin Hongtao nodded faintly and smiled.

”Rest assured, President Xue. If those other two families think they can compete with us, they’re simply courting death!”

Hearing this, Xue Chengdong roared with laughter, nodding repeatedly.

He had originally felt anxious about going up the mountain tomorrow, but now he was filled with boundless anticipation.

However, at that very moment, Xue Qingqing suddenly stood up and declared,

”Dad, I’m going up the mountain with you all tomorrow!”

But at these words, Xue Chengdong’s face darkened, and he shook his head decisively.

”Qingqing, why would you go to the mountain? Don’t you know how dangerous it is?”

But Xue Qingqing was as stubborn as a mule; once she made up her mind, there was no changing it.

She pouted and said coldly,

”No! I’m going!”

Xue Chengdong scolded her irritably,

”You’re being ridiculous! You’re to stay home tomorrow and not go anywhere. Have you already forgotten how you almost got hurt before?”

But Xue Qingqing’s expression was resolute as she insisted,

”No, I’m going! With Qin Tuo here, I’m not afraid of anything!”
