Chapter 409: Flame Fist

Everyone was utterly shocked. They never imagined Qin Tuo was hiding his strength so well.

Moreover, Zheng Guoping could only watch helplessly as Qin Tuo rescued Xue Qingqing, his face darkening with rage.

Qin Tuo brought Xue Qingqing back to Xue Chengdong, who was so overcome with emotion he was on the verge of tears.

"Daughter! You just scared me half to death!"

Xue Qingqing, still hugging Qin Tuo's waist tightly, said triumphantly,

"See, Dad? I told you Qin Tuo was amazing, but you refused to believe me!"

Xue Chengdong nodded repeatedly, filled with gratitude and a deep, heartfelt admiration for Qin Tuo.

As she spoke, however, Xue Qingqing was completely oblivious to how intimate her posture with Qin Tuo looked.

Qin Tuo couldn't help but let out a couple of coughs and said awkwardly,

"Miss Xue, if you could please let go of me first. I still have to help your family deal with the Zheng Family."

The moment he said that, Xue Qingqing's face flushed red.

She finally realized she was clinging to him like an octopus.

As if she'd received an electric shock, Xue Qingqing immediately jumped back, lowering her head, not daring to meet Qin Tuo's gaze.

At that, Xue Chengdong quickly stepped in front of Xue Qingqing, afraid his daughter would be harmed again.

Looking at Qin Tuo, Zheng Guoping said with a cold laugh,

"Is that all the skill you have? That's nothing! I simply wasn't expecting you to make a move. You just caught me by surprise, that's all!"

Seeing him still talking tough, Qin Tuo replied,

"Oh, really? In that case, I'll make sure you die without any doubts."

Zheng Guoping threw his head back and roared with laughter, saying disdainfully,

"You talk big, kid. We'll see if you can walk out of here alive today!"

As he finished speaking, Master Huang, who was standing nearby, immediately took two steps forward, releasing a powerful and sinister aura.

Anyone who came into contact with this aura would feel a bone-chilling dread, yet Qin Tuo seemed completely unfazed, not affected in the slightest.

Zheng Guoping cupped his fists and said respectfully,

"Master Huang, I'll have to trouble you to kill this brat!"

Master Huang nodded slightly. Having just witnessed Qin Tuo's move, he knew this young man was no ordinary person.

And so, a battle lust ignited deep within Master Huang's heart!

"Rest assured, Mr. Zheng. The chance to kill such a young prodigy… it excites me."

Master Huang licked his lips with a sinister smile.

Zheng Guoping broke into a wide grin, a great weight lifting from his shoulders.

He knew that now, Qin Tuo was as good as dead.

"Come, boy. It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of slaughtering a genius like you!"

With a sinister cackle, Master Huang leaped into the air and charged at Qin Tuo.

The two clashed in an instant, and the battle immediately captured the attention of everyone present.

After a brief exchange with Qin Tuo, Master Huang immediately unleashed one of his techniques.

Tendrils of black mist shot out from his sleeves, wrapping tightly around Qin Tuo's entire body.

This was the same move that had defeated Jin Hongtao, so the crowd had already witnessed its power.

Seeing this, Xue Chengdong couldn't help but feel incredibly worried for Qin Tuo.

He knew his own life was now tied to Qin Tuo; if Qin Tuo lost, it was all over for him!

"Boy, you may be a decent Martial Artist, but in the face of my techniques, you will do nothing but obediently accept your death!"

A triumphant smile spread across Master Huang's face.

But in the next moment, his black mist technique suddenly failed. All the mist vanished from Qin Tuo's body.

Qin Tuo's Celestial King Order had absorbed it all, converting the black mist into Spiritual Qi to nourish his body!

Qin Tuo smiled mockingly.

"If you have any other techniques, you'd better use them now. I'm afraid you won't get another chance."

Master Huang's face went pale. He was so furious he almost fainted on the spot.

Now, he finally started to take Qin Tuo seriously, realizing this young man was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined.

"Impressive, boy. I see I've underestimated you. In that case, let's see you try and absorb this technique!"

Master Huang had figured out that Qin Tuo had just absorbed his technique.

So, in the next moment, he released a cloud of green mist!

This was an exceptionally vicious technique. Hidden within the mist was a deadly poison that could make a person bleed from all seven orifices.

Anyone who came into contact with this green poison mist would bleed to death in moments, with virtually no hope of being saved.

Completely unconcerned, Qin Tuo used the same method as before, employing the Celestial King Order to absorb the green poison gas.

"Haha! You fell for it, boy!"

Seeing Qin Tuo do exactly as he expected, Master Huang was ecstatic.

He was certain that once Qin Tuo absorbed this poison, he would drop dead!

After Qin Tuo had absorbed every last wisp of the green poison, Master Huang waited with breathless anticipation, eager to see the consequences.

A moment passed, however, and Qin Tuo was still standing there, perfectly at ease, showing no side effects whatsoever.

"Impossible! What's going on with you, boy? You absorbed my poison but you're not poisoned?!"

Master Huang shook his head frantically, his face a mask of disbelief.

Qin Tuo said contemptuously,

"Heh. To think you'd try to defeat me with such a pathetic little trick. How laughable."

Master Huang's face flushed red, and he almost coughed up blood from sheer rage.

His plan had backfired spectacularly, causing him to lose face completely in front of everyone.

How could he have known that Qin Tuo's Celestial King Order possessed an automatic purification ability?

Never mind a poison of this level; even a toxin ten times more potent would simply be converted into Spiritual Qi.

At this point, Master Huang regarded Qin Tuo with utmost seriousness, resolving to use his full power with no further reservations.

"Alright, boy. If that's how it is, then have a taste of my ultimate technique… Flame Fist!"

As Master Huang's voice fell, he began chanting an incantation, summoning searing hot flames.

The flames materialized out of thin air, coalescing into a gigantic Flaming Divine Fist!

At this terrifying sight, Xue Chengdong, his daughter, Huang Junkai, and the others all turned pale with fright and slowly backed away.

Zheng Guoping, however, wore a look of eager anticipation.

Seeing how powerful the Flame Fist was, Zheng Guoping felt certain that Qin Tuo was a dead man.

Qin Tuo, however, merely stared expressionlessly at the flaming fist, showing no intention of running away.

"Die, boy!"

Master Huang directly controlled the enormous flaming fist, sending it smashing down toward Qin Tuo.
