Chapter 302: Terrifying Defense
On the arena stage, Liao Feiying felt that something wasn’t right.
At first, he’d thought he was completely overwhelming Qin Tuo, that he clearly had the upper hand.
But to his surprise, every blast of energy he sent at Qin Tuo vanished without a trace!
Liao Feiying was utterly bewildered. An inexplicable frustration welled up inside him, slowly turning into a burning rage.
"Damn you, kid! Is dodging all you know how to do?"
Liao Feiying let out a bestial roar, and his speed increased yet again.
Now, Qin Tuo seemed to be in even greater peril. His room to maneuver was gradually being forced into a corner.
Yet Qin Tuo’s expression remained relaxed, without a hint of worry.
"Heh, if you’ve got what it takes, Liao Feiying, then defeat me. Otherwise, just shut your mouth!"
Qin Tuo said with a casual smile. His calm and composed demeanor left all the Martial Artists in the audience stunned.
No one could understand why Qin Tuo’s state of mind was so unshakable.
’Doesn’t he know that the moment he’s defeated, Liao Feiying will surely deliver a killing blow?’
Liao Feiying nodded grimly, his killing intent stoked by Qin Tuo’s words.
"Fine, kid. Today, I’ll show you the consequences of angering me, Liao Feiying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he once again leaped into the air, unleashing an incomparably powerful gale of energy. The arena stage itself seemed to shake violently.
All around the stands, many people’s faces went pale with fright as they scrambled backward!
Everyone could sense that Liao Feiying had pushed his power to its absolute limit.
The aura radiating from him was like a surging torrent—vast, mighty, and utterly terrifying!
’Bring it on...’
But Qin Tuo’s eyes lit up. He had nothing to fear from Liao Feiying’s energy.
Because that aura was being completely absorbed by the Celestial King Order and converted into even more immense Spiritual Power!
Moreover, the Celestial King Order’s conversion speed was increasing, allowing Qin Tuo to effortlessly use the newly converted Spiritual Power to sustain his Cultivation Technique.
Poor Liao Feiying had no idea that his frantic exertions were simply doing all the work for Qin Tuo.
After a little more time passed, everyone watching the stage began to notice that something was amiss.
Although Qin Tuo appeared to be utterly suppressed, he hadn’t actually been hit a single time from start to finish.
He was still completely unscathed.
As more and more people noticed the strangeness of the situation, gasps of astonishment rose from the crowd.
"Something’s not right. How has he not been touched even once after all this time? What’s going on?"
"Yeah, I noticed that too! How is this young man withstanding so many of Liao Feiying’s attacks without falling behind?"
Hearing the murmurs from the crowd, Liao Feiying grew even more impatient.
He had been unable to take down Qin Tuo, and to this point, he hadn’t even managed to graze the hem of his clothes.
Moreover, the Awakening Pill had a time limit. Once it wore off, he would even suffer from a debilitating side effect of weakness.
Thus, Liao Feiying’s attacks grew more frantic, and he could no longer perfectly control his aura, letting it blast out wildly in all directions.
This played right into Qin Tuo’s hands, allowing the Celestial King Order to eat its fill.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed!
"Hey, that young man’s technique seems to produce a defensive effect very similar to the Iron Sect’s Bone-Bursting Skill. No wonder it looks so familiar!"
At this, many people couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
However, the Iron Sect Leader, Wan Zongsheng, was right there in the crowd. Hearing this, his expression turned awkward, and he quickly shook his head.
"Don’t spread nonsense. Our Iron Sect’s Bone-Bursting Skill can’t achieve something like this!"
Wan Zongsheng was a straightforward man, and he was too honest to take credit where it wasn’t due.
’He knew full well that if it were him up there, he would have been defeated long ago. How could he possibly last this long?’
Hearing Wan Zongsheng’s denial, the crowd was even more shocked.
They all began to speculate on what kind of technique Qin Tuo was using that was so formidable it could hold off the frenzied Liao Feiying for so long without fail.
Watching Qin Tuo’s incredibly composed figure on the stage, Wan Zongsheng felt a fresh surge of amazement.
He thought, ’Thank goodness I failed when I went to get revenge on Qin Tuo a couple of days ago. If we had really fought, I probably wouldn’t have even known what killed me!’
At this thought, he actually felt a wave of gratitude toward Qiangwei.
The entire stage was now a total wreck. Liao Feiying hadn’t touched Qin Tuo, but he had carved countless gullies and deep pits into the stage floor.
Meanwhile, Qin Tuo’s Body Technique remained elegant from start to finish. He was walking on a knife’s edge but had yet to make a single misstep.
His supreme defensive Body Technique had everyone watching with rapt attention, crying out in amazement!
Suddenly, Liao Feiying stopped his assault. A flush crept across his face, and he was left panting for breath.
No matter how slow he was, he had finally realized something was wrong. It seemed that all the terrifying blasts of energy he’d unleashed had been absorbed by Qin Tuo.
Frustrated, Liao Feiying gritted his teeth and demanded:
"Qin Tuo, you little thief, who the hell are you? Spit it out!"
Liao Feiying was beginning to suspect Qin Tuo’s identity.
After all, he had never seen or heard of a fighting style like Qin Tuo’s!
Down in the audience, Chen Man Ni, Qiangwei, and the others breathed a collective sigh of relief upon seeing that Qin Tuo was unharmed.
But it wasn’t just Liao Feiying. Far off in the Liao Family’s seating area, the dark eyes of the cloaked Master Wu Jing also revealed a hint of confusion.
He had clearly sensed that something was off. The abilities Qin Tuo was demonstrating seemed to faintly transcend the bounds of a Martial Artist.
Seeing Liao Feiying’s flustered and exasperated expression, many in the crowd were secretly gloating.
But Qin Tuo just shook his head and said casually:
"You still don’t understand who I am? Then let me tell you. I’m the one who’s going to kill you!"
At these words, Liao Feiying’s face instantly went pale.
His peak state had passed. Due to his excessive consumption of energy, any further attacks would be nowhere near as powerful as before.
He could also see that Qin Tuo hadn’t expended any energy at all and was still in his peak condition.
’If we keep fighting, I’ll be the one at a disadvantage, no doubt about it!’
Wasting no more words, Qin Tuo suddenly changed his stance, preparing to go on the offensive.
The crowd was instantly filled with anticipation. Was Qin Tuo finally going to take the initiative?
Seeing that the tables had turned, Liao Feiying quickly shouted:
"You little bastard! Taking advantage of another’s predicament—that’s no honorable victory!"
But Qin Tuo just burst out laughing, a surging killing intent rising with his laughter!
"Old thief, say whatever you want. Today, you’re a dead man!"
