Chapter 417: Helicopter

"Damn it, don't come any closer!"

Chen Man Ni slowly retreated, clenching her fists tightly.

She was a defenseless woman, even less capable of resisting than Ouyang Feifei.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zifeng stood in the distance, watching helplessly, frustrated that he could do nothing.

He knew that if he tried to intervene again, he would just be courting death.

Long Wu and Qiangwei shook their heads and gave bitter smiles, their hearts filled with a deep sense of guilt toward Qin Tuo.

No one could save Chen Man Ni. At this point, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

Tomb Tiger suddenly let out an arrogant laugh and lunged madly toward Chen Man Ni!

Chen Man Ni screamed, squeezing her eyes shut, unable to watch.

A cold, triumphant smirk spread across Liu Tao's face. The thought of Qin Tuo's reaction upon learning Chen Man Ni had been violated filled him with immense satisfaction.

Tomb Tiger pounced, landing right on top of Chen Man Ni!

But the next moment, a muffled grunt suddenly echoed.

The Jade Pendant at Chen Man Ni's waist suddenly erupted with an immense crimson light!

The red light seemed to illuminate the entire villa, stunning everyone present.

The crimson light pulsed, and a powerful force violently threw Tomb Tiger backward!

Tomb Tiger reacted quickly enough, tumbling several times before landing in the distance, barely avoiding a disgraceful fall.

"What! How could this be?"

Seeing this, Liu Tao's face was a mask of disbelief.

Zhu Zifeng's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but show a look of joy.

He knew Qin Tuo must have left something behind to protect Chen Man Ni!

Seeing this, hope was rekindled in the hearts of Long Wu and Qiangwei.

Chen Man Ni, not feeling the demonic claws she had imagined, opened her eyes in suspicion...

She then noticed the Jade Pendant at her waist emitting an intense red glow, which slowly faded.

It was only then that Chen Man Ni remembered the Jade Pendant Qin Tuo had given her. 'I never thought this Jade Pendant would be so powerful! It's a top-tier Protective Magical Treasure, capable of repelling even such a formidable master!'

Tomb Tiger stood his ground, his face a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

Feeling a faint, throbbing pain inside his body, Tomb Tiger couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

"What kind of treasure is this? It's incredible!"

He wanted to try advancing again, but the moment he moved, he realized the previous blow had seemingly damaged his internal organs. Any movement aggravated the injuries, causing unbearable pain.

Liu Tao could also see that Tomb Tiger had been injured, so he quickly stepped forward and said,

"Uncle Hu, let's forget about this girl. We need to go now!"

After all, Liu Tao knew they had caused a huge commotion. More people might be drawn to the scene soon, which would be troublesome.

But Tomb Tiger, his face full of reluctance, said,

"But this girl..."

Liu Tao shook his head and smiled.

"It's fine, Uncle Hu. Kidnapping Ouyang Feifei is good enough for now. It won't be too late to deal with this woman next time!"

Hearing this, Tomb Tiger nodded and said no more.

Then, Liu Tao and Tomb Tiger grabbed Ouyang Feifei and prepared to leave.

Before they left, Liu Tao glanced back at the others and said coldly,

"Listen up. Tell that bastard Qin Tuo to come find me at the Shi City Hotel when he gets back!"

With that, Liu Tao and Tomb Tiger departed, dragging Ouyang Feifei with them.

Watching their backs disappear through the villa's entrance, Long Wu and Qiangwei were speechless for a long time.

Meanwhile, Chen Man Ni was so frantic she burst into tears on the spot, not knowing what to do!

Seeing this, Zhu Zifeng could only offer some comfort.

"Don't worry, Miss Chen. When Mr. Qin returns, he'll have a way to handle this!"

At this point, he didn't know what else to say. He could only place his hopes on Qin Tuo returning and being able to rescue Ouyang Feifei.

After all, Zhu Zifeng understood deeply that Qin Tuo was a legendary Cultivator with vast and profound abilities. Perhaps he really would have a solution!

「In Shi City.」

Qin Tuo had been in seclusion for three days and three nights.

His aura had been climbing steadily, finally settling at the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Before him lay a large pile of depleted Spirit Stones, now nothing but ordinary dust.

The Spirit Stones were nearly all consumed, but Qin Tuo's cultivation level had stopped climbing.

After reaching the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was as if he had hit a small bottleneck; his progress had slowed to a crawl.

At that very moment, Qin Tuo, who hadn't opened his eyes in three days, suddenly snapped them open, his heart pounding violently!

'What! Manni is in danger? How is that possible?'

Qin Tuo's mind could no longer remain calm. Through his spiritual senses, he knew that the Body-Protecting Jade Pendant on Chen Man Ni had activated its defense and repelled an enemy.

However, Qin Tuo didn't know if the Jade Pendant would be enough to keep Chen Man Ni safe.

Who was the enemy? How terrifyingly powerful were they? All of this worried Qin Tuo endlessly!

The thought of the immense danger Chen Man Ni could be facing in the Provincial City made Qin Tuo extremely anxious.

Besides, his cultivation had temporarily stalled, and the Spirit Stones were almost gone. It would be pointless to stay here any longer.

Qin Tuo immediately got up, left the room, and ordered a servant to summon Xue Chengdong.

The servant recognized Qin Tuo and dared not delay.

Soon, Xue Chengdong arrived before Qin Tuo.

Seeing Qin Tuo's anxious expression, Xue Chengdong asked with some confusion,

"Oh, Mr. Qin, is something the matter?"

Qin Tuo said directly,

"President Xue, I have urgent business and must return to Celestial South Province City immediately. Please arrange a car to take me back right away!"

Seeing Qin Tuo in such a rush, Xue Chengdong nodded without hesitation.

He was about to take action when he suddenly remembered something and quickly said,

"Mr. Qin, I have a private helicopter. It can get you to the Provincial City from here in about two hours. That's much faster than a car."

Hearing this, Qin Tuo was overjoyed!

"Excellent, President Xue! In that case, I'll have to trouble you!"

Xue Chengdong quickly shook his head and waved his hand humbly.

"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Qin. Please, follow me!"

Xue Chengdong was also very happy to be able to help Qin Tuo.

He immediately led Qin Tuo to a courtyard outside the villa.

The commotion also alerted Xue Qingqing, who hurried over to see what was happening.

Seeing a helicopter parked there as expected, Qin Tuo boarded it without hesitation.

Xue Chengdong didn't dare to delay either. He quickly called for the pilot to start the helicopter and take Qin Tuo back to Celestial South Province City.
