Return of the Celestial King

Liao Feiying trembled with rage, tears streaming down his aged face.

Liao Baicheng was his only son. To lose a child in his old age was a grief beyond compare.

The entire audience fell silent. Everyone knew that Liao Feiying was about to completely lose his mind.

Liao Feiying stood up and roared angrily,

"Qin Tuo, you brat! You have no martial honor, daring to kill someone on the stage!"

Qin Tuo, however, retorted nonchalantly.

"Oh? How laughable. Why didn’t you say that when you did the same to the Guan Family Patriarch?"

At that, all the members of the Guan Family in the audience chimed in, filled with indignation.

Many people began cursing Liao Feiying, calling him a shameless hypocrite.

Liao Feiying clenched his jaw, his eyes turning blood-red.

Suddenly, he let out a great roar. Under the transformation of his surging aura, he became a flying hawk and soared into the air.

This scene stunned the crowd. No one had expected Liao Feiying to be this powerful!

"Qin Tuo, be careful!"

From below the stage, Chen Man Ni immediately cried out in concern, afraid that something would happen to Qin Tuo.

The hawk shot toward Qin Tuo. Countless terrifying streams of energy swirled madly around the stage, making it difficult to breathe!

Many people didn’t even dare to approach the stage and immediately retreated some distance.

The crowd sighed. Liao Feiying’s current strength was too immense; he had likely surpassed the Grandmaster Realm long ago. Qin Tuo wasn’t expected to survive.

"Sigh, what a pity. The young man is very strong himself, but he ran into a monster like Liao Feiying!"

Even Huang Zhen couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

At that moment, Qin Tuo instinctively took two steps back.

The powerful energy Liao Feiying released filled the entire arena. The display was certainly frightening.

But Qin Tuo wasn’t afraid. He was focused on a single question.

’Can I use the Celestial King Order to absorb the energy Liao Feiying is releasing and convert it into Spiritual Power for my own use?’

’I’ll only know if I try!’

The thought struck Qin Tuo.

Although the Celestial King Order had always been able to absorb various kinds of Spiritual Power, Qin Tuo had found the process uncontrollable.

Moreover, he had never dared to actively use this ability.

After all, Qin Tuo knew that if he were to deliberately use this ability to absorb others’ energy and Spiritual Power, he would become a veritable blood demon, lose all control, and succumb to his inner demons.

But now, Qin Tuo was tempted to see if this path was truly viable.

Without hesitation, Qin Tuo injected Spiritual Power into the Celestial King Order!

The Celestial King Order immediately began to react strongly to the surrounding energy.

HUMMMMM...

The vibration of the Celestial King Order brought a flash of joy to Qin Tuo’s heart.

’Heh, so it really works!’

Qin Tuo immediately executed his Body Technique, continuously dodging Liao Feiying’s attacks.

At the same time, the Celestial King Order began to slowly absorb the energy.

Qin Tuo could feel the Celestial King Order absorbing the ambient energy and converting it into Spiritual Power.

The process was slow at first, but it was gradually speeding up.

Therefore, Qin Tuo was in no rush. He deliberately evaded Liao Feiying’s moves, constantly weaving across the stage.

To the onlookers, however, it seemed as if Qin Tuo had no strength to fight back and was being steadily forced to retreat.

"Look! The young man really can’t handle it. He’s going to be defeated and killed any second now!"

"Sigh, yeah. It’s a shame. To have such strength at his age... but in the end, he was too arrogant. He’s no match for Liao Feiying."

The experts from the various families passed judgment, all agreeing that Qin Tuo had brought this upon himself.

Meanwhile, Liao Feiying, clenching his jaw, intensified his attacks, hoping to kill Qin Tuo quickly and end the Martial Artist Alliance tournament for the day.

He channeled his hatred into endless power, each and every move ferocious beyond measure.

A powerful gale, like a tornado, swept across the entire stage.

But the more ferocious he became, the happier Qin Tuo was.

Though it looked like Qin Tuo was only dodging, he was actually absorbing a great deal of energy. It was all being converted into Spiritual Power, which entered his body and nourished him from head to toe.

Suddenly, in the distance, Qiangwei slowly stirred and awoke...

Having previously absorbed some of Qin Tuo’s Spiritual Power, her internal organs had been protected from harm, so she was not seriously injured.

"Miss Qiangwei, you’re finally awake!"

Long Wu, who had been watching over her, beamed with joy when he saw her wake up.

Qiangwei nodded, her brow furrowing slightly, clearly still in some discomfort.

She glanced toward the stage, and her eyes went wide.

"What? The Celestial King is fighting himself? And he’s being pushed back by Liao Feiying?"

Qiangwei was shocked. From what she knew of Qin Tuo, he shouldn’t be on the defensive like this.

But she quickly remembered that Liao Feiying had swallowed some kind of pill, causing his strength to skyrocket. That must be why Qin Tuo was unable to fight back.

"No, I can’t let anything happen to the Celestial King! I have to go help him!"

Her heart twisting with worry, Qiangwei clenched her teeth and prepared to rush to his aid.

However, Long Wu quickly stopped her and slowly shook his head.

"Long Wu, don’t stop me! If something happens to the Celestial King, we’ll all be held responsible!"

Qiangwei said with grave seriousness.

But Long Wu only gave a bitter smile.

"Miss Qiangwei, you still haven’t recovered. In your condition, you should focus on healing. If you act rashly now, you could suffer permanent, irreversible damage!"

A shadow fell over Qiangwei’s eyes. She knew he was right, but she couldn’t stand by and watch Qin Tuo suffer because of her.

Long Wu, of course, understood her thoughts and quickly tried to reassure her.

"Miss Qiangwei, don’t worry. I believe the Celestial King will not be defeated. With his power, even if Liao Feiying used some special trick, he’s still no match for him!"

Long Wu held an innate reverence for Qin Tuo. He understood Qin Tuo’s true abilities better than Qiangwei did.

Watching the powerful auras of the two masters clashing on the stage, Long Wu’s heart filled with aspiration.

He secretly told himself, ’I have to get strong, and fast. I must continuously increase my power so that one day I can become Qin Tuo’s true right-hand man!’

"But the Celestial King looks like he’s losing! If this goes on, something bad is really going to happen!"

Qiangwei was still worried, shaking her head and sighing.

Long Wu said earnestly,

"In that case, Miss Qiangwei, if the Celestial King is truly in danger, then we will immediately intervene and rescue him!"

Hearing Long Wu’s words, Qiangwei felt helpless but could only agree to watch and see how the situation developed.
