Return of the Celestial King

She turned her head to the side and said in a hoarse voice:

"You betrayed me back then. How do you have the face to beg me now?"

Hearing Ouyang Feifei’s words, Liu Tao was overjoyed.

He knew there was a chance he could move her!

Liu Tao quickly composed himself, collected his thoughts, and continued,

"Feifei, I had no choice in what happened back then. I’m admitting my mistake to you now. Please, just get Qin Tuo to let me go!"

At these words, a crack finally appeared in Ouyang Feifei’s hardened heart.

Seeing the change in Ouyang Feifei’s expression, Qin Tuo couldn’t help but sigh.

He knew this silly girl could never overcome the softness deep within her heart.

Ouyang Feifei looked at Qin Tuo, hesitating again and again, before she finally couldn’t stop herself from speaking.

"Qin Tuo, can you spare his life?"

Hearing this, Chen Man Ni, who was standing beside them, felt it was completely unjust and looked on, fuming.

Liu Tao’s face, however, lit up with excitement. He knew that as long as Ouyang Feifei spoke up for him, Qin Tuo would most likely consider letting him go.

Qin Tuo asked seriously,

"Miss Ouyang, you need to think this through. This scumbag hurt you so badly before, and you still want to save him?"

Tears streamed from Ouyang Feifei’s eyes as she said in a heavy tone,

"Qin Tuo, I know. Once I save his life this time, it means we’ll have nothing to do with each other ever again!"

After she finished speaking, her tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

This sight was hard for Qin Tuo to watch. Chen Man Ni, being a good friend, hugged Ouyang Feifei’s shoulders and endlessly comforted her.

Qin Tuo could see that Ouyang Feifei must have truly been deeply in love with Liu Tao in the past; otherwise, she wouldn’t be showing such intense emotional fluctuations now.

As for Liu Tao, who was standing to the side, the rock in his heart finally dropped!

By reading the situation and their expressions, he knew Qin Tuo probably wouldn’t kill him now.

Sure enough, Qin Tuo slowly let go of Liu Tao, then snorted coldly and said,

"I’m sparing your worthless life on Miss Ouyang’s account. Now get lost!"

Liu Tao, however, nodded repeatedly and said with a smile,

"Of course, Qin Tuo. Thank you for sparing my life!"

Inside, however, he was filled with venomous resentment, planning to mobilize the experts of his family as soon as he returned and kill Qin Tuo, no matter the cost.

After scrambling to his feet, Liu Tao fled in a disgraceful panic, not even daring to look back once.

Right up until the moment he left, he never once turned to look at Ouyang Feifei, the person who had just saved his life.

Watching Liu Tao’s retreating figure, the look of despair in Ouyang Feifei’s eyes grew deeper and deeper!

With Liu Tao gone, the Inner Strength masters from the Liu Family all scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing without a trace.

Just then, Qin Tuo slowly turned his head to look at Zhu Zifeng, who was standing to the side.

Zhu Zifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully observed Qin Tuo.

He was also frantically trying to calculate just how much strength Qin Tuo had left after a series of intense battles.

Suddenly, Qin Tuo sneered and took the initiative to speak.

"Zhu Zifeng, if you want to take advantage of my depleted Inner Strength and make a move, now’s your chance!"

Deep down, Zhu Zifeng was still unable to make a decision, feeling extremely conflicted.

Meanwhile, Sun Liyi and the other masters from Medicine King Valley were growing incredibly anxious.

They desperately wanted Zhu Zifeng to give the order to take down Qin Tuo, but as long as he remained silent, they didn’t have the guts to act.

A war raged in Zhu Zifeng’s heart, and his expression shifted again and again!

Finally, a smile appeared on his face as he said slowly,

"Qin Tuo, we have no grievance or grudge between us. Why would we attack you? You’re overthinking things!"

Qin Tuo snorted coldly, knowing that Zhu Zifeng lacked the courage.

He asked mockingly,

"Oh, is that so? Then I suppose you no longer want the Jade Pendant or that pill formula from before?"

At this mention, a thick look of greed naturally flashed in Zhu Zifeng’s eyes.

Both the Jade Pendant and the pill formula were extremely valuable; Zhu Zifeng didn’t want to miss out on either.

But he understood even more clearly that if he dared to take this gamble now, the price for losing would be death!

So, Zhu Zifeng shook his head and said with a very humble smile,

"Brother Qin, treasures belong to the worthy. We would never snatch them by force. Besides, while that pill formula is precious, if Brother Qin is unwilling to part with it, we can only feel a bit of regret. What else can be done?"

He spoke with great magnanimity, but Qin Tuo knew this guy was a complete smiling tiger.

Qin Tuo shook his head and said coldly,

"Drop that hypocritical act. Since you don’t plan on taking this chance, don’t regret it later."

Zhu Zifeng nodded and said with a smile,

"Brother Qin, what are you talking about? Why would I have any regrets?"

Qin Tuo said,

"One more thing. My previous demand for all of Medicine King Valley’s medicinal herbs still stands. I expect to see them delivered to my home immediately. Otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences!"

Although Qin Tuo’s voice wasn’t loud, his tone was filled with a faint threat that made Zhu Zifeng, Sun Liyi, and the others tremble inwardly upon hearing it.

After speaking, Qin Tuo left with Chen Man Ni, Ouyang Feifei, Long Wu, and the others.

When the people from the Martial Extreme Sect saw Qin Tuo leaving, they quickly scurried after him.

And so, today’s Martial Artist gathering came to a temporary close.

The Martial Artists from the various sects still felt it ended too soon, endlessly discussing what they had just witnessed on their way back.

Some other Martial Artists remained at the scene, gazing at the wrecked arena, constantly replaying the recent events in their minds, trying to comprehend some of the advanced martial techniques from what had transpired.

Seeing Qin Tuo leave with his people, Sun Liyi quickly stepped forward, his voice laced with anguish as he spoke.

"Second Young Master, why didn’t you take that chance to eliminate that guy?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zifeng retorted irritably,

"Are you so sure we could have killed him?"

Sun Liyi gave a bitter smile and said seriously,

"Second Young Master, I could see that Qin Tuo’s face had gone pale just now. His body must have been at its limit. As long as we worked together, we definitely could have taken him down!"

There was still a trace of pain in his eyes, as he clearly felt that Zhu Zifeng had missed the perfect opportunity.

But Zhu Zifeng waved his hand and said coldly,

"To this day, I still can’t see through this Qin Tuo. So it’s better not to act rashly!"

Zhu Zifeng, however, had no idea how correct his thinking was. If he had shown even the slightest killing intent just now, he would already be a corpse.
