Return of the Celestial King

Who would have thought Qin Tuo would just stand his ground, not even bothering to dodge?

”Qin Tuo, get out of the way!”

Seeing this, Xue Qingqing was so frantic she was on the verge of tears, letting out a desperate scream.

But Qin Tuo acted as if he hadn’t heard, letting the massive Flame Fist crash right into him.

In an instant, the flames blasted a massive crater into the very spot where Qin Tuo had been standing!

All the surrounding weeds and vegetation were instantly incinerated, reduced to ash.

The crater itself was a churning inferno, billowing with smoke that obscured all vision!

”It’s over. Qin Tuo’s dead. He’s been burned alive!”

Xue Qingqing finally burst into tears, her eyes filled with profound guilt.

’If it wasn’t for her, why would Qin Tuo be dead?’

Xue Chengdong’s expression was grim. He opened his mouth, but for a long moment, he was speechless.

Huang Junkai’s eyes widened in disbelief. ’How could someone with Qin Tuo’s skills die in such a pathetic way?’

”Hahaha! You little brat, weren’t you so arrogant? Go on, keep it up now!”

Zheng Guoping could no longer contain himself and burst into laughter, finally venting all his pent-up frustration.

Master Huang lowered his sleeves. Standing at the edge of the crater, his face was etched with a cold, mocking smile.

”Brat, being able to kill a peerless genius like you has made this trip worthwhile for me!”

Yet, the moment the words left his mouth, the flames inside the pit began to fade.

In the heart of the inferno, Qin Tuo was using the Celestial King Order to convert the flames into streams of Spiritual Qi, which he rapidly absorbed.

Eventually, the flames vanished completely, revealing Qin Tuo standing in the same spot, completely unscathed!

Everyone watching jumped in shock. ’Are we seeing a ghost?’

The scene was simply too incredible to believe. A closer look revealed that even Qin Tuo’s clothes were untouched by the flames.

Master Huang demanded, a mixture of shock and rage in his voice,

”Impossible! That’s utterly impossible! How did you do it, boy?”

The smile on Zheng Guoping’s face froze solid, his expression turning utterly foul.

In the distance, the Xue Family’s tears turned to laughter, so overjoyed they were at a loss for words.

Seeing that Qin Tuo wasn’t dead, Huang Junkai clapped a hand to his chest. The scare just now had nearly given him a heart attack!

Looking at the flustered and furious Master Huang, Qin Tuo said casually,

”Did you really think your petty little tricks could ever harm me?”

Master Huang ground his teeth so hard they audibly clicked, wishing for nothing more than to hack Qin Tuo to pieces.

The fact that Qin Tuo had countered his repeated attacks, even his signature moves, made Master Huang start to doubt his own abilities.

He understood with profound clarity that he had to kill Qin Tuo. If he didn’t, his spirit as a Warlock would be irreparably damaged.

From this day forward, the mere thought of Qin Tuo would leave a gaping hole in his psyche.

”Boy, you are dying today, no matter what!”

Master Huang said, his voice dripping with ice.

Without hesitation, he began to burn his own lifeblood in exchange for immense power.

Seeing this, a flicker of caution finally appeared in Qin Tuo’s eyes.

He knew that Master Huang was finally putting his life on the line.

Sure enough, Master Huang’s aura grew even more terrifying.

The next moment, he pointed a finger, and a profound, mysterious power began to stir the surrounding stones, causing them to slowly move.

”Look! What kind of technique is that?”

All the onlookers watched with rapt, nervous attention.

They could only watch as the stones slowly gathered, merging into a colossal stone golem with a horrifying appearance!

Everyone who saw the stone golem appear gasped in sheer terror.

The scene felt like a miracle, so surreal it was hard to believe it was real.

But when Qin Tuo saw the stone golem, a smile finally appeared in his eyes.

He gave Master Huang a look of keen interest and said slowly,

”Now this technique has some merit. It seems you really are a Warlock of profound skill.”

Master Huang, however, laughed sinisterly.

”Are you scared now, boy? This is the legendary Forbidden Technique... Animating Stone Soldiers. No one has ever forced me to use this technique before. I’m making an exception for you, so you can die with pride!”

With that said, Master Huang directed the massive stone golem to bring its fist smashing down toward Qin Tuo.

The moment the stone golem moved, the ground seemed to shake. Its terrifying aura paralyzed everyone with fear.

Yet, in the face of such a powerful stone golem, Qin Tuo simply said with a faint smile,

”Excellent. Today is the perfect opportunity to show you the chasm between us. At least then you’ll die understanding why.”

As he spoke, Qin Tuo suddenly shot into the air, swinging a fist toward the golem’s own massive fist.

Before the colossal stone golem, Qin Tuo seemed as small and insignificant as an ant.

Yet, he was fearless, choosing to meet it head-on!

This scene left everyone stunned. They all felt the outcome was a foregone conclusion. How could Qin Tuo possibly contend with that stone giant?

’Heh, he’s courting his own destruction!’

Master Huang sneered inwardly as he controlled the stone golem.

He had absolute confidence in this technique. ’There’s no way I can lose.’

Zheng Guoping, watching from the sidelines, also sneered. He knew that this time, Qin Tuo couldn’t possibly create another miracle.

Finally, Qin Tuo’s fist collided heavily with that of the stone giant!

RUMBLE...

A deep, muffled sound echoed out as huge chunks of rock suddenly shot into the sky, flying in all directions.

Everyone craned their necks to get a better look, only to discover that the stone golem had been smashed to pieces by Qin Tuo’s one punch.

”Heavens, how can this be?”

Everyone was utterly floored by the scene before them, unable to believe their own eyes.

As for Master Huang, he looked as if he’d seen a ghost, his mind going completely blank.

’He had burned his lifeblood just to gain the power to control the stone golem!’

Yet now that Qin Tuo had destroyed it, the backlash slammed into his vital channels. Unable to bear it, he violently spewed a mouthful of blood.

He was sent flying backward, slamming into the ground and creating a deep crater.

Everything happened so quickly that before anyone could even react, Master Huang had been utterly defeated.

Not only had he lost, but the backlash from his own technique had ravaged his vital channels. He was beyond saving.

Zheng Guoping’s face twisted into a mask of horror. He had never, ever imagined that Master Huang would actually lose to Qin Tuo.

Qin Tuo slowly walked over and looked down at the dying Master Huang, his face a mask of cold indifference.

In his final moments, Master Huang’s eyes shot open. He stared at Qin Tuo in utter disbelief, as if he had something he desperately needed to say.
