Return of the Celestial King

But the shop owner said with a humorless smile:

"How about this, young man? I’ll give you your deposit back, but you can’t take this pile of rocks!"

At this, even the onlookers couldn’t stand to watch anymore.

"Owner, aren’t you just openly bullying him?"

"Yeah, you’re just making up the rules as you go. That’s way too crooked!"

Ouyang Lei was so furious his eyes were bloodshot. He slammed his fist on the table and said through gritted teeth:

"You bastard! You really think I’m a pushover, don’t you!"

Even the good-tempered Chen Man Ni and Ouyang Feifei were furious now. They never expected the owner to go back on his word so shamelessly.

Qin Tuo let out an exasperated laugh. He was curious to see what gave this man the nerve to be so brazenly dishonest.

The owner smirked sinisterly, put his hands on his hips, and said:

"That’s right, I am bullying you. What are you going to do about it?"

Everyone was infuriated. ’This guy is completely shameless!’

However, some people could tell the owner must have a powerful backer; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare be so arrogant.

Ouyang Lei clenched his fists, itching to rush over and beat the owner to a pulp.

The shop owner said threateningly:

"Let me tell you, this shop actually belongs to Young Master Huang Junkai of the Huang Family. What do you think you can do now?"

The moment he spoke, everyone was stunned. Now they understood why the owner was so shameless—he was backed by a towering tree!

"Heavens, the Huang Family! One of the four great families! You can’t mess with them!"

"Sigh, it can’t be helped. Those folks will just have to chalk it up to bad luck."

The crowd of onlookers immediately began to shake their heads, sighing for Qin Tuo and his friends.

Even Ouyang Lei’s anger instantly deflated. He didn’t have the guts to go up against the Huang Family.

Qin Tuo, however, just smiled coldly and said:

"So what if he’s a Young Master Huang? If he were here, he wouldn’t even dare to fart in front of me!"

But few people believed Qin Tuo’s domineering words; most just thought he was putting up a brave front to save face.

Ouyang Lei’s expression was incredibly awkward. He even wanted to pull Qin Tuo aside and tell him to stop talking.

’If they really angered that Young Master Huang, how would this whole mess end?’

Ouyang Lei was unaware of the recent events that had taken place in the Provincial City’s Martial Arts Realm.

But Chen Man Ni and Ouyang Feifei exchanged a glance, and they both saw the hint of a smile in each other’s eyes.

They, on the other hand, knew exactly what Qin Tuo’s status in the Provincial City was. Forget a mere Young Master Huang; even if the Huang Family Patriarch, Huang Zhen, showed up, he would have to bow and greet Qin Tuo with respect.

The owner nodded repeatedly, sneering.

"Alright, kid, you’ve got some nerve. Just you wait. I’m calling Young Master Huang right now. Let’s see if you’re still so arrogant in a few minutes!"

With that, he immediately made a phone call.

After hanging up, the shop owner was clearly even more unrestrained.

Just then, a kind-hearted person in the crowd couldn’t help but offer some advice:

"You kids should hurry up and leave. Once the Huang Family gets here, you won’t be able to."

Ouyang Lei wanted to leave too, but Qin Tuo stood there, as steady as a mountain, which made him give a wry, helpless smile.

Before long, Huang Junkai arrived with a large group of men.

"Oh? Someone actually dares to cause trouble in my Huang Family’s shop? How interesting!"

From a distance, Huang Junkai saw the crowd gathered here and a cold smile spread across his face.

Behind him was a large group of Inner Strength Martial Artists, each striding with an imposing, powerful presence!

Among them was an old man who looked particularly formidable, a cut above the average Inner Strength Martial Artist.

Seeing this group arrive, Ouyang Lei jumped in fright and quickly hid behind Qin Tuo.

The shop owner couldn’t help but taunt:

"Hey, kid! Weren’t you acting all tough just now, saying Young Master Huang wouldn’t dare fart in front of you? If you’ve got the guts, why don’t you say that again!"

But Qin Tuo just smiled and said:

"That’s right. This Young Master Huang really wouldn’t dare to fart in front of me. What of it?"

The shop owner was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing in fury.

"You’ve got guts, kid. Now let’s see how you die!"

Huang Junkai and his men arrived just in time to hear Qin Tuo’s words, and his face instantly darkened.

"You’ve got some nerve, kid. Do you have any idea who I am?"

Qin Tuo said with a disdainful look:

"You must be Huang Junkai, right? This shop of yours is a real piece of work. It’s a completely crooked establishment. You’d be better off shutting it down for good!"

Huang Junkai’s face flushed red with anger. With his status, people were always polite to him, no matter where he went. Who would dare be so disrespectful?

The group of Huang Family Inner Strength Martial Artists behind him unleashed their intense killing intent, glaring daggers at Qin Tuo.

Huang Junkai said coldly:

"Kid, I’ll give you one chance. Get on your knees, kowtow, and apologize right now. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die without a place to be buried!"

The crowd of onlookers had long since retreated to a safe distance, their hearts clenching with worry for Qin Tuo.

Ouyang Lei, hiding behind Qin Tuo, was trembling from head to toe, not daring to utter a single word.

But then he noticed something strange: Chen Man Ni and Ouyang Feifei looked completely relaxed, as if they weren’t the least bit worried.

Facing the hostile glares of the large group, Qin Tuo simply said in a light tone:

"I’ll give you a chance, too. Kneel and kowtow to me. Otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences."

These words made everyone nearby wonder if they had heard him correctly.

’Disaster was imminent, so where did this young man get the courage to talk like that?’

Huang Junkai had lost his patience. A flash of killing intent erupted in his eyes as he waved his hand.

"Elder Lin, if you would please, take this kid down for me!"

Without a word, the old man, Elder Lin, rushed forward.

His hands formed into claws, clearly a powerful grappling technique.

Anyone caught in his grasp would have their bones and tendons shattered, becoming a cripple on the spot!

However, Qin Tuo just snorted coldly and didn’t even move to attack.

He merely twitched an eyelid, and a powerful wave of Spiritual Power erupted forward, blasting Elder Lin and sending him flying to the ground!

PFFT—

After hitting the ground, Elder Lin coughed up a heavy mouthful of vital blood, his face a mask of despair.

"My... My Dantian has been shattered?"

Qin Tuo had directly used his Spiritual Power to shatter the man’s Dantian, causing all of his Inner Strength to drain away and turning him into a cripple.

This scene caught Huang Junkai and all the Huang Family’s Inner Strength Martial Artists completely off guard, their faces turning pale with fright.

The onlookers were also completely stunned into silence!

Suddenly, Elder Lin forced himself to suppress the terror in his heart and asked:

"Sir... who exactly are you?"

Having witnessed Qin Tuo’s power, he had already begun to form an astonishing, terrifying guess.
