Chapter 257: Exploded to Death
Qin Tuo’s aura was so overwhelming that Elder Extinction felt like he couldn’t breathe.
A violent shock surged through Elder Extinction. Only now did he realize that Qin Tuo’s strength was simply terrifying!
"Old fiend, go to hell!"
Qin Tuo’s words were laced with potent killing intent.
He balled his hands into fists and brought them down hard on Elder Extinction’s chest!
His fists carried enough force to move mountains, enough to beat Elder Extinction to death on the spot.
But a faint, sinister smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Elder Extinction’s lips...
’Hmm, something’s not right!’
Qin Tuo immediately sensed a feeling of crisis.
He watched as Elder Extinction’s hands shot out and grabbed his fists!
The moment they made contact, Qin Tuo’s expression shifted slightly.
He could clearly feel a suction force coming from Elder Extinction’s hands, forcibly drawing the Spiritual Power from his own body.
Although Qin Tuo desperately tried to control it, his Spiritual Power still flowed from his palms into Elder Extinction’s body.
"Heh heh! Boy, this is the Absorption Technique, my own unique ultimate move. Now you see how powerful it is, don’t you?"
Seeing the somewhat stunned look on Qin Tuo’s face, Elder Extinction couldn’t have been more smug.
But Qin Tuo wasn’t afraid; he simply found this Cultivation Technique a bit unusual.
Seeing how arrogant Elder Extinction was being, he couldn’t help but laugh.
"Oh, you like absorbing my Spiritual Power? In that case, I’ll let you absorb your fill!"
Then, Qin Tuo completely dropped his resistance. All the Spiritual Power in his body began to surge like a mighty river into Elder Extinction.
"Haha, giving up, are you, boy? A wise choice! I’ll drain you dry, turn you into a shriveled corpse, and then hang you at the entrance of Extinction Valley as a warning!"
Elder Extinction’s arrogant laughter echoed throughout the entire valley tower.
Hiding in a corner, Xiaoyuan saw this and stomped her feet in anxiety.
She threw caution to the wind and ran directly toward Qin Tuo.
However, Qin Tuo immediately shouted:
"Xiaoyuan, stop! Don’t come any closer!"
Qin Tuo knew that if Xiaoyuan touched Elder Extinction’s body, she would be sucked to death by the Absorption Technique.
Xiaoyuan froze, her expression hesitant and her heart torn.
Qin Tuo continued to reassure her, saying:
"Xiaoyuan, stay right where you are. That’s the best way you can help me!"
Hearing this, Xiaoyuan bit her lip hard and nodded obediently.
Though she was frantic with worry, her rational mind told her that trusting Qin Tuo was the right thing to do.
At that moment, the Spiritual Power from Qin Tuo’s entire body was furiously pouring into Elder Extinction!
Before their eyes, the surface of Elder Extinction’s body began to swell slightly, like a balloon slowly being inflated.
Elder Extinction’s face was filled with endless smugness. The wrinkles on his skin slowly smoothed out, and his complexion grew rosy, as if he were regressing in age back to his youth.
"You really have a lot of Spiritual Power, boy! This will directly help my Cultivation Technique break through to a higher realm. I really must thank you!"
Elder Extinction deliberately tried to provoke Qin Tuo with his words.
But he noticed that Qin Tuo’s expression was inexplicably strange.
Suddenly, a baseless sense of unease crept into Elder Extinction’s heart!
In the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
Because even now, the Spiritual Power from Qin Tuo’s body was still a continuous, frantic torrent, rushing into his own.
At first, Elder Extinction had been thrilled, but now, he was starting to feel that something was very wrong!
A person’s body can only contain a finite amount of Spiritual Power. Once the meridians become saturated, they can’t take any more.
And now, the Spiritual Power inside Elder Extinction’s body had reached its absolute limit!
’Damn this kid, how can he have so much Spiritual Power? Forget it, I’ll drain him dry next time...’
Left with no choice, Elder Extinction decided to withdraw the Absorption Technique.
"What’s wrong? Why’d you stop absorbing? No, you have to keep going!"
Qin Tuo deliberately put on a stern face and snorted coldly.
Immediately, an immense force latched onto Elder Extinction, preventing him from retracting the technique.
"What! Boy, let me go, now!"
Elder Extinction finally lost his composure, roaring in fury and struggling with all his might.
But to his astonishment, he discovered he could no longer control his own Cultivation Technique!
The Absorption Technique was now out of control, desperately pulling in Qin Tuo’s Spiritual Power.
And Qin Tuo’s Spiritual Power was like an ocean, crashing over him in a mad frenzy!
"Ahh, boy, let go! I can’t take any more..."
Elder Extinction shrieked again and again as thin lines of blood began to appear all over his body.
His eyeballs bulged further and further out, and his entire face twisted and deformed completely!
Watching this from the side, Xiaoyuan’s face went pale with fright, and she was rendered utterly speechless.
Qin Tuo, however, wore a calm smile.
But in Elder Extinction’s eyes, that smile was the smile of a devil.
"Boy... let... go!"
Elder Extinction managed to force out three words, barely able to speak at all.
Finally, in the next instant, his body reached its absolute limit!
As the Spiritual Power continued to pour in, he could no longer bear it...
BOOM!
With a massive explosion, all the Spiritual Power inside Elder Extinction’s body was released at once.
His body, like a ruptured sack, was torn to pieces. It collapsed slowly to the ground, his life extinguished.
Elder Extinction had actually been burst apart by Qin Tuo’s Spiritual Power.
Xiaoyuan quickly ran over and clung to Qin Tuo, her face still a mask of terror.
Qin Tuo narrowed his eyes, studying the remains of Elder Extinction, who had exploded and died.
"Don’t worry, Xiaoyuan. I’ve killed the old fiend,"
Qin Tuo said in a grave tone.
Xiaoyuan’s face was instantly filled with gratitude as she said:
"Brother Qin Tuo, thank you for saving me, and thank you for avenging my father by killing this old fiend!"
Qin Tuo nodded, then told Xiaoyuan to turn around.
Then, in one swift movement, Qin Tuo sliced off Elder Extinction’s head and wrapped it in a piece of cloth.
"Let’s go, Xiaoyuan. I’m taking you out of Extinction Valley!"
Qin Tuo took Xiaoyuan’s hand, and the two of them left the small tower, heading down into the valley.
Down in the valley, the battle between Daoist Chi Xu and Daoist Mie Xu had reached a fever pitch.
"Senior Brother, just surrender. For the sake of old times, I can spare your life. How about it?"
A vicious glint appeared in Daoist Mie Xu’s eyes.
Despite his words, the ferocity of his attacks didn’t lessen in the slightest!
Daoist Chi Xu cursed loudly in response.
"You traitor! You’re just saying that to mock me! The truth is, you can’t wait for me to die, can you?"
Daoist Chi Xu had long since seen through Daoist Mie Xu’s insidious scheme and wasn’t falling for it.
