Chapter 509: Leave None Behind

The Da Li Head was scared out of his wits. At his age, he didn’t want to die at Qin Tuo’s hands!

“Then hurry up and talk!”

A vicious glint flashed in Qin Tuo’s eyes, nearly scaring the Da Li Head into wetting himself.

The Da Li Head nodded frantically, then obediently said:

“We were paid by the Liu Family. We just had to get rid of you. To be honest, we weren’t intentionally targeting you… Please, spare our lives!”

With that, he began to beg for mercy nonstop.

The four other heads beside him were also desperately begging Qin Tuo to let them go.

The situation was now obvious. Their ultimate techniques had been countered, all five were heavily injured, and to Qin Tuo, they were nothing more than fish on a chopping block.

Qin Tuo let out a deep breath. At this point, he could finally be sure that these guys from the Miao Village were hired by the Liu Family to deal with him.

The nearby Kong Lianqing spat on the ground and said with disdain:

“Just as I expected. Those Liu Family bastards are truly vicious. To think they’d pay a fortune to bring these crooked characters to the Capital City to do their dirty work. Pah!”

Seeing Qin Tuo remain silent, the Da Li Head quickly added:

“Mr. Qin, we’ve told you everything honestly. Could you let us go?”

As he spoke, all five of them looked at Qin Tuo pitifully.

However, Qin Tuo shook his head and said with a cold smile:

“You lot keep company with snakes and insects, your Cultivation Techniques are evil, and you’ve lost all shred of humanity. If I were to let you live in this world, wouldn’t that be an affront to justice?”

As soon as his voice fell, a palm came crashing down before the Da Li Head’s terrified eyes.

CRACK!

Qin Tuo smashed the Da Li Head’s skull to pieces.

The other four heads immediately pissed their pants in fright and started screaming desperately!

“Mercy, Your Excellency, mercy!”

However, Qin Tuo showed not an ounce of mercy, felling each of the remaining four heads with a single palm strike.

After seeing Qin Tuo kill the five heads from the Miao Village, Kong Lianqing and the others all fell into silence.

Qin Tuo had killed these five men almost single-handedly; the Security Pavilion hadn’t even had to make a move.

Afterward, all the members of the Security Pavilion immediately sprang into action and began cleaning up the scene.

Meanwhile, Kong Lianqing gave Qin Tuo a thumbs-up and praised him:

“Mr. Qin, your performance left me speechless. I can’t believe you took a punch like that and came out unscathed. It’s simply incredible!”

Faced with Kong Lianqing’s praise, Qin Tuo just shook his head and said casually:

“Pavilion Master Kong, it’s nothing. There are many others who are stronger than I am.”

Qin Tuo thought to himself, ‘The group of Cultivators I saw the other night… each one of them possessed immense power. I wouldn’t be a match for any single one of them.’

‘So, at my current level, I have no right to be arrogant.’

But this realization had also shown Qin Tuo a much vaster world, igniting an even stronger fighting spirit within him.

He deeply believed that he too would reach that level of strength.

And Qin Tuo was certain that day would not be too far off!

Hearing Qin Tuo say this, Kong Lianqing naturally assumed he was being overly humble and didn’t think much of it.

By now, the Security Pavilion members had nearly finished cleaning the entire warehouse. The bodies of the five heads had also been buried on the spot.

Qin Tuo dusted off his hands, preparing to leave.

Kong Lianqing quickly stopped him and asked with a curious expression:

“Mr. Qin, are you getting ready to head back to Ming City?”

Kong Lianqing knew Qin Tuo had wanted to go back for a while. If he hadn’t agreed to help, he would have left the Capital City long ago.

But to his surprise, Qin Tuo shook his head and replied:

“I’m not in a hurry. I’ve changed my mind. I’ll probably be staying in the Capital City for a while longer.”

Kong Lianqing was surprised, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He knew Qin Tuo must have his own business to attend to.

Of course, Qin Tuo’s reason for staying in the Capital City was to find an opportunity to unravel certain complicated matters.

After his previous encounter with those powerful Cultivators, Qin Tuo understood that the Capital City was home to many terrifying forces hidden beneath the surface.

So now, he was in no hurry to go back. Instead, he wanted to see what secrets were hidden behind everything.

…

「One day later, at the Liu Family Villa compound in the Capital City.」

At this moment, Liu Zhenghai was lying back on a recliner, resting with his eyes closed.

He was leisurely basking in the sun, not looking the least bit anxious.

This was because Liu Zhenghai was deeply confident that by now, Qin Tuo was probably a corpse.

He had paid a great price this time, hiring the five great Gu-poison masters from the Miao Village to deal with Qin Tuo for him.

Under these circumstances, Liu Zhenghai refused to believe Qin Tuo could have escaped.

Just then, the old butler rushed in, his face a mask of urgency.

“This is bad, Second Master, something terrible has happened!”

Liu Zhenghai immediately sat up straight in his recliner, his brow tightly furrowed.

“What is it now?”

Liu Zhenghai seemed agitated. ‘Why is it always bad news lately?’

The old butler swallowed hard and said with a pained expression:

“Second Master, those guys from the Miao Village… they’re done for. I’m afraid that brat Qin Tuo took them out!”

“What? How could this be?”

Liu Zhenghai’s face froze completely. Then, his features twisted, and his face flushed a deep red with restrained fury.

With a heavy punch, he smashed the chair beneath him to smithereens and cursed hatefully:

“Useless trash! They’re all a bunch of useless trash!”

The old butler stood to the side, not daring to speak, his heart pounding with apprehension.

He knew, of course, how furious Liu Zhenghai was right now.

They had thought Qin Tuo’s death was certain, but unexpectedly, even the masters from the Miao Village had failed.

At this rate, what would be left of the Liu Family’s reputation?

After venting his anger for a while, Liu Zhenghai couldn’t help but ask:

“Why is that Qin Tuo so hard to kill? Just how strong is that guy?”

At this point, Liu Zhenghai was already feeling dejected.

He had exhausted all his methods and still couldn’t do anything to Qin Tuo, which gave him a profound sense of defeat.

The butler thought for a moment before saying:

“Second Master, perhaps that kid was just lucky. Don’t forget, that Grandmaster Kong is a Grandmaster himself. Qin Tuo must have defeated the people from the Miao Village with his help.”

Hearing the old butler’s words, Liu Zhenghai came to his senses and nodded silently.

“Yes, you have a point. That must be it. Otherwise, how could that kid have done it all by himself?”

The thought made Liu Zhenghai feel a little better.

Still, he remained resentful and quickly added an instruction.

“Hurry up and find a way to get rid of this Qin Tuo! This matter absolutely cannot be delayed any longer!”
