Return of the Celestial King

This duel was incredibly exciting, capturing everyone’s attention.

To everyone watching, it seemed Guan Zhengtian and Liao Feiying were evenly matched, neck and neck.

But Qin Tuo alone had the sharp insight to see that if the fight continued, Guan Zhengtian would undoubtedly lose!

He noticed that Liao Feiying’s techniques were incomparably vicious, and his foundation was much deeper.

And while Guan Zhengtian’s Guan’s Eight Trigrams Staff was formidable, his advanced age made his footwork unsteady. If he kept fighting, he was bound to be defeated.

Just as Qin Tuo had predicted, Guan Zhengtian’s breathing grew chaotic. The situation was becoming perilous; several times, he was nearly struck in a vital spot by Liao Feiying.

The entire audience watched with bated breath, crying out in alarm!

Finally, a vicious glint flashed in Liao Feiying’s eyes. Shaping his hands into eagle claws, he ruthlessly struck Guan Zhengtian in the chest.

PTHOO!

The heavy blow to his chest made Guan Zhengtian’s face turn white, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clearly, Guan Zhengtian had been defeated!

But Liao Feiying didn’t stop. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he chopped down again with his palm, viciously striking Guan Zhengtian’s neck.

With that strike, Guan Zhengtian was knocked unconscious on the spot, collapsing onto the ring like a sack of mud.

Below the stage, the crowd was in an uproar. The members of the Guan Family, in particular, had looks of terror on their faces!

"This is bad! The Patriarch is in danger! Hurry and get him down from there!"

The Guan Family reacted quickly, rushing onto the stage.

Liao Feiying was about to reach out and end Guan Zhengtian’s life, but with so many members of the Guan Family rushing up at once, he had no choice but to stop, full of resentment.

Several of the Guan Family’s experts lifted Guan Zhengtian, shot Liao Feiying a venomous glare, and quickly ran off the stage.

They knew Guan Zhengtian was gravely injured and needed immediate medical attention, or the consequences would be dire.

Liao Feiying, however, acted as if nothing had happened, clasping his hands behind his back with the air of a transcendent master.

Qin Tuo hadn’t expected it either. It was one thing for Liao Feiying to win, but to be so vicious in his methods was another.

Anyone could see that at the last moment, Liao Feiying had clearly intended to take Guan Zhengtian’s life!

At his side, Qiangwei cursed in disgust.

"That old bastard is too ruthless! We’re all heads of the Four Great Families, yet he goes straight for the kill?"

Qin Tuo said with a cold laugh,

"That’s why, Qiangwei, when it’s your turn, you must be decisive. Don’t show any mercy. That would only hurt you in the end."

"Yes, Mr. Qin, I understand!"

Qiangwei nodded seriously.

Guan Zhengtian being beaten nearly to death caused a commotion, and the scene instantly grew chaotic.

Huang Zhen couldn’t help but stand up and reprimand him,

"Liao Feiying, your actions are shameless! Did you really intend to kill him?"

Liao Feiying asked deliberately,

"Oh? Is there a problem? On the dueling ring, life and death are decided. He didn’t concede, so of course I couldn’t stop!"

Huang Zhen retorted angrily,

"You had already won! That was obvious to everyone! Why did you still have to go for the killing blow?"

But Liao Feiying said disdainfully,

"These are the rules of the ring. Since you chose to challenge me, you should have been prepared for this. And from now on, I won’t be so kind as to let any of you off the hook!"

Huang Zhen was so furious his face turned beet red, practically fuming.

However, he could only shake his head and sigh, not daring to step onto the ring.

His strength was on par with Guan Zhengtian’s, so of course he didn’t dare fight Liao Feiying to the death.

After all, Liao Feiying had made it very clear that from now on, he wouldn’t hold back at all. He would go all out to kill his opponents.

Under these circumstances, Huang Zhen could only cower like a turtle in its shell.

At this moment, Liao Feiying stood alone on the ring, gazing disdainfully at the crowd, with no one daring to answer his challenge.

Liao Feiying suddenly burst into mocking laughter!

"Haha! Is there no one in the entire Provincial City Martial Arts Realm who dares to fight me? A bunch of useless cowards!"

After his taunt, the many people present could only hang their heads in deep shame.

Suddenly, Qiangwei stood up and shouted,

"Don’t get too arrogant, old thief! Do you really think no one can put you in your place?"

Liao Feiying’s eyes instantly lit up. Qiangwei was the one he had been waiting for!

"Heh heh, you bitch! If you’ve got the guts, come up here and fight me before you run your mouth!"

Furious, Qiangwei strode directly onto the ring to confront Liao Feiying face-to-face.

Liao Feiying’s mind raced. This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate Qiangwei and, in one fell swoop, absorb Rose Hall.

"Old thief, since you’re so arrogant, I’ll teach you a good lesson and show you that people shouldn’t be so conceited!"

Qiangwei said coldly.

Liao Feiying burst into sinister laughter!

"You little brat, I have the skills to back up my arrogance! If you don’t like it, you’ll have to beat me first!"

Qiangwei disdainfully dusted off her hands and rolled up her sleeves.

"Fine. Since you’re asking for a beating, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Many people in the crowd were secretly supporting Qiangwei, clearly fed up with Liao Feiying’s arrogant and domineering attitude.

However, due to the Liao Family’s power, they could only support her in their hearts, not daring to shout it out loud.

The atmosphere gradually grew quiet as Liao Feiying began to build up his power.

Qiangwei’s gaze was just as icy, her eyes locked on Liao Feiying, not daring to let her guard down for an instant!

Suddenly, Liao Feiying made his move.

The moment he attacked, he unleashed a series of incredibly cruel and sinister techniques, instantly forcing Qiangwei into a continuous, perilous retreat!

Although Qin Tuo knew Qiangwei’s strength and had confidence in her, at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of worry.

But soon, Qiangwei gradually turned the tables and gained the upper hand.

Everyone could see clearly that Qiangwei’s every move displayed the air of a Grandmaster, completely suppressing Liao Feiying’s vicious style.

The crowd’s expressions gradually turned to utter astonishment. Who would have thought Qiangwei had been hiding such deep strength?

It seemed even Liao Feiying was no match for her!

Below the stage, Huang Zhen couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

"Yes! A beautiful move, Miss Qiangwei!"

Many others could no longer contain themselves and began to cheer for Qiangwei.

Liao Feiying grew anxious, and a cold sweat broke out on his brow.

The two fought for over a hundred rounds. Suddenly, Qiangwei leaped into the air, her long leg transforming into a steel whip as it slammed heavily into Liao Feiying’s chest.

The kick sent Liao Feiying stumbling backward, nearly knocking him off the ring.

Qiangwei’s gaze was frigid, her eyes filled with contempt.

"Heh heh, Liao Feiying, your dream of becoming Alliance Leader is shattered!"

Qiangwei’s domineering voice echoed in all directions.

Unresigned, Liao Feiying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared viciously at Qiangwei.
