Return of the Celestial King

Sure enough, in the next instant, all eyes focused on Zeng Kemeng.

SWISH!

Faced with so many predatory gazes, Zeng Kemeng’s face went deathly pale, and she trembled uncontrollably.

Zhu Zifeng, however, mustered his courage and stepped in front of Zeng Kemeng, glaring coldly at the crowd.

Inwardly, however, he prayed silently, hoping that Qin Tuo would return quickly!

Otherwise, he had absolutely no confidence that he could stand against this Third Elder.

After all, even Sun Haicheng had been defeated, and Zhu Zifeng knew he wasn’t much stronger. His own defeat was merely a matter of when.

”Little girl, why don’t you come over quietly? Do you really need to force this old man to act himself?”

The Third Elder spoke in an indifferent tone, as if he already had the situation completely under control, unafraid that Zeng Kemeng could possibly escape.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zifeng frowned and threatened:

”Listen up. I’m the young master of the Zhu Family from the Capital City, and I’m protecting this girl today. I suggest you don’t do anything rash, or you will face the full wrath and retaliation of the Zhu Family!”

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder was stunned for a moment before throwing his head back and roaring with laughter.

”HAHAHA...”

Hearing this mocking laughter, Zhu Zifeng’s face flushed crimson with rage.

”So, the young master of the Zhu Family. But do you really think the status of your Zhu Family carries any weight with the Blood Moon Pavilion?”

The Third Elder sneered, clearly having no intention of honoring Zhu Zifeng’s status.

Zhu Zifeng’s heart immediately grew heavy. He finally understood that these fiends from the Blood Moon Pavilion were completely unscrupulous, stopping at nothing to achieve their goals.

Looking at the cowering Zeng Kemeng, the Third Elder shook his head, a pitying look in his eyes as he spoke slowly:

”It seems this old man’s reading of your fate was spot on. Your destiny ends here, in the Blood Moon Pavilion. And I will be the one to personally end you!”

With that, the Third Elder began to stride slowly toward Zeng Kemeng.

”Don’t come any closer...”

Zeng Kemeng shrieked in terror.

Facing the approaching Third Elder, Zhu Zifeng grew incredibly tense, ready to make his move at any moment.

The Third Elder snorted coldly, preparing to use a technique to knock Zhu Zifeng back.

The surrounding group of Blood Moon Pavilion members closed in, ensuring that Zeng Kemeng could not escape even if she sprouted wings.

However, just at the critical moment before the Third Elder made his move, a cold voice suddenly rang out from beyond the temple entrance.

”And have you bothered to read your own fate? To see just where it ends?”

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed as they turned in unison to look at the temple entrance.

”Who’s there? Get out here!”

The Third Elder’s face filled with displeasure as he barked out the cold command.

Then, Qin Tuo was seen strolling into the temple, his hands clasped behind his back and a leisurely expression on his face.

The moment he saw Qin Tuo appear, an expression of immense joy washed over Zhu Zifeng’s face. He knew he was saved.

As for the members of the Security Pavilion, they were joyful at first to see Qin Tuo’s arrival, but their expressions quickly dimmed.

They thought that since even Sun Haicheng had been so utterly defeated by the Third Elder, wouldn’t Qin Tuo just be walking to his death?

Qin Tuo walked in, his gaze sweeping over the scene, and he instantly understood the situation.

He had heard the entire conversation from within the temple loud and clear, even from a great distance. He naturally knew that this Third Elder had set an ambush in advance, waiting for Zeng Kemeng to walk into the trap.

When the Third Elder saw it was Qin Tuo, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, sizing him up carefully.

After a few moments of observation, his expression changed drastically!

Unquestionably, the Third Elder had heard of Qin Tuo’s many deeds and had seen his photograph before, so he recognized this scourge at a glance.

Right now, Qin Tuo was infamous throughout the entire Blood Moon Pavilion.

After all, he had killed many of the Blood Moon Pavilion’s top experts and was currently number one on their kill list.

The Third Elder jabbed a finger at Qin Tuo and said:

”You brat, what are you doing here?”

Qin Tuo retorted with a sneer.

”Hilarious. If you’re such a great fortune-teller, why couldn’t you predict I would come? And you have the nerve to ask me that?”

The Third Elder’s expression immediately turned foul. The group of Blood Moon Pavilion experts beside him also stared at Qin Tuo with extreme vigilance, not daring to let their guard down for a second.

”Brat, we don’t intend to deal with you today. Scram, and we can settle our accounts another day!”

The Third Elder said coldly.

He just wanted to quickly complete the mission given to him by the Pavilion Master—to capture Zeng Kemeng and exchange her for the Face Reading Technique. He absolutely did not want any complications.

Qin Tuo, however, feigned surprise and asked:

”Oh? Weren’t you all just looking for me? I’m here now, so why the reluctance to make a move?”

Seeing Qin Tuo’s provocative attitude, the Third Elder was filled with rage.

Besides, in front of so many of his underlings, if he didn’t dare to make a move against Qin Tuo, it would be a blow to his authority.

At this thought, the Third Elder’s expression shifted to a sneer. He nodded several times and said with a savage grin:

”Very well, brat. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then I’ll just have to wipe you all out in one fell swoop today!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Third Elder waved a hand, commanding all his subordinates.

”All of you, attack! Take this brat down, and don’t hold back!”

All the experts at his side knew Qin Tuo was not to be trifled with. They roared in unison.

”Yes, Third Elder!”

Immediately, more than a dozen men rushed toward Qin Tuo, attacking at once.

Seeing this, Zhu Zifeng was startled and quickly shouted a warning.

”Mr. Qin, watch out!”

He reacted quickly, immediately pulling Zeng Kemeng back and to the side to avoid getting caught in the fallout.

Meanwhile, the distant group from the Security Pavilion, along with the injured Sun Haicheng, all thought Qin Tuo was about to be killed on the spot.

In their eyes, no matter how formidable Qin Tuo was, there was no way he could withstand a siege from so many Blood Moon Pavilion experts at once.

Faced with more than a dozen men rushing at him, Qin Tuo simply shook his head, a hint of contempt in his eyes.

The next moment, without moving a muscle, he simply unleashed an incomparably tyrannical aura that surged forward like a tidal wave!

The aura was so terrifyingly powerful that it instantly sent all dozen or so Blood Moon Pavilion experts flying, knocking them to the ground.

They cried out in pain and agony as they hit the ground, completely unable to rise again.

The Third Elder was so terrified at this sight that his eyelid twitched violently!

Only now, having seen Qin Tuo make his move up close, did he finally comprehend just how terrifying this young man—the one wanted by the Pavilion Master—truly was!
