Chapter 500: Iron Elephant and Jing Feng

Surprise filled Qin Tuo’s face when he heard this.

‘What kind of process is this so-called Body Tempering?’ he wondered.

‘And the Old Maniac never taught me any of this.’

As Qin Tuo’s mind raced with troubled thoughts, the tall man slowly advanced on him again.

Qin Tuo immediately became vigilant, assuming a defensive posture.

The tall man simply shook his head and snorted coldly.

“Stop resisting, kid. You’re no match for me. Just come with me quietly and save yourself some unnecessary pain.”

As he finished speaking, the tall man’s eyes turned cold. He reached out, intending to just lift Qin Tuo up and carry him away.

The gesture was as casual as if he were grabbing a chick, free to handle as he pleased.

Anger simmering within him, Qin Tuo waited for the tall man to get close, then suddenly lashed out.

SWISH!

Qin Tuo executed a viciously powerful leg sweep, its force so overwhelming it could not be ignored.

Even the tall man’s eyes widened in surprise; he didn’t dare underestimate the attack.

The tall man reacted, instinctively trying to jump up and evade.

But just then, Qin Tuo suddenly changed his attack.

In the split second before the tall man’s feet left the ground, Qin Tuo shot forward, appearing behind him.

Then, Qin Tuo also leaped high into the air. He dove down, using the force of his momentum to channel a thunderous punch that crashed into the tall man’s back.

BAM!

A dull thud echoed as immense power erupted, sending the tall man staggering and falling to the ground.

Qin Tuo shook his head and sneered.

“So you’re not so tough after all!”

But just then, something astonishing happened, and the smile vanished from Qin Tuo’s face.

He watched as the tall man simply climbed back to his feet, dusted himself off, and acted as if nothing had happened.

The tall man looked at Qin Tuo, his face a mask of disdain.

That incredibly powerful punch had apparently done no damage to him whatsoever.

Qin Tuo was stunned, unable to believe his eyes!

He had put everything he had into that punch, a strike that had reached the absolute peak of his power.

With a blow like that, he was confident he could shatter not just a man of flesh and blood, but a small mountain.

And yet, when it landed on this man, all it did was knock him to the ground. That was it!

From the looks of it, the tall man hadn’t suffered so much as a scratch.

The scene was so bizarre that Qin Tuo felt it couldn’t be real.

‘How can this guy’s physical resilience be so terrifying?’

‘It’s like he’s made of steel—indestructible!’

A thought suddenly struck Qin Tuo. ‘Could this be the monstrous effect of the so-called Body Tempering?’

‘What other explanation could there be?’

In that instant, Qin Tuo became intensely curious about this so-called Body Tempering.

He asked instinctively.

“What exactly is Body Tempering? How is your body so tough?”

He stared intently at the tall man, awaiting his answer.

But the tall man, seemingly angered by Qin Tuo, remained silent, his face an icy mask.

‘He’s getting serious now,’ Qin Tuo thought, his own caution mounting.

The tall man let out a heavy, cold snort and said irritably,

“You little brat. I was going to take you back alive, but you just don’t know what’s good for you. You had to go and piss me off. In that case, I’ll just bring your corpse back instead!”

As he spoke, a terrifying killing intent exploded from the tall man’s eyes.

It was as if an invisible gale swept through the alley, snatching leaves from the ground and swirling them into the air, creating a horrifying spectacle.

Qin Tuo’s scalp tingled with fear. He knew the tall man was going all out now. He had to handle this perfectly, or he would be ruthlessly crushed, with no hope of recovery.

Seeing Qin Tuo steeling himself to resist, a mocking look appeared in the tall man’s eyes.

With a great shout, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted from his body.

RUMBLE!

It felt like a vast ocean was crashing down on him. A suffocating pressure descended from above, pinning Qin Tuo to the spot, unable to move even an inch.

“Such terrifying pressure! What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?!”

Qin Tuo clenched his jaw, staring stubbornly ahead as beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Gradually, Qin Tuo could feel his body starting to give way.

The sensation was agonizing, like a pair of invisible hands were trying to tear him limb from limb.

Meanwhile, the tall man just stood there, unleashing his terrifying aura, as if trying to force Qin Tuo into submission.

No matter how stubborn Qin Tuo was, he was reaching his limit.

Despair and collapse began to set in…

‘Heavens, am I really going to die here today?’

Qin Tuo thought, his heart filled with pessimism.

He still had so many regrets. The secrets of his own origin remained a mystery, and he was unwilling to die such an obscure death.

Seeing that Qin Tuo would rather die than surrender, the tall man was thoroughly enraged!

He gave a cold smile and shot into the air, preparing a single strike to end Qin Tuo’s life.

Faced with this killing blow, Qin Tuo had no way to resist. He could only wait for death to claim him.

“Die, kid…”

The tall man’s heavy punch, carrying the force of a mountain, descended toward Qin Tuo’s forehead.

But at that critical moment, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the alley, appearing before Qin Tuo in a flash!

Then, the shadow merely flicked its sleeve.

An incomparably domineering force surged forth, effortlessly neutralizing the tall man’s attack.

The tall man’s expression changed drastically. He immediately somersaulted backward, landing some distance away, his expression turning tense.

The shadowy figure looked coldly at the tall man and snorted.

“Iron Elephant, you’ve got some nerve, daring to make a move on someone from my Huangfu Family.”

The tall man’s expression shifted again as he carefully sized up the newcomer.

When he got a clear look at the figure’s face, his pupils contracted sharply!

“You… could you be Jing Feng of the Huangfu Family?”
