Return of the Celestial King

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Grand Formation

Zhao Peng made the call, on the verge of tears.

"Brother Hao, hurry up and help! This guy is too strong! He’s cut down all your men!"

On the other end of the line, Hu Qihao’s eyes went wide when he heard this.

"What? He cut them all down? How is that possible?"

He found it utterly unbelievable. His subordinates were all capable fighters; how could they all be taken down by a single person?

Zhao Peng urged him anxiously.

"Brother Hao, you have to hurry! If you’re late, this guy might get away!"

Hu Qihao grew anxious as well and nodded firmly.

"Alright, I’m on my way!"

He immediately made a call to gather his men.

So many of the gang’s best men had been crippled. This was a major incident, and Hu Qihao took it very seriously.

He quickly assembled several van-loads of Cyan Fire Gang members and sped to the scene.

Back at the scene, Zhao Peng’s confidence surged after he hung up the phone.

"Heh, Qin Tuo, keep putting on your act. You won’t be able to run in a minute!"

Zhao Peng said fearlessly.

But Qin Tuo paid him no mind, sitting in his chair with a look that showed not a hint of worry.

Seeing Qin Tuo’s demeanor, a furious rage burned in Zhao Peng’s heart.

Xu Min and Zhao Peng gradually grew bolder and started hurling all sorts of curses at Qin Tuo again.

Qin Tuo suddenly looked up, his gaze casually sweeping over them.

That single glance nearly made Zhao Peng and Xu Min wet their pants in fear!

They immediately shut their mouths and waited miserably for Hu Qihao’s arrival.

’Damn it, why isn’t he here yet!’

Zhao Peng was in agony.

Just then, several vans came speeding over from the distance.

"Haha, Qin Tuo, you son of a bitch, you’re dead meat!"

Seeing that the situation was decided, Zhao Peng laughed arrogantly.

The vans screeched to a halt, boxing Qin Tuo in.

The doors flew open, and one after another, grim-faced thugs from the Cyan Fire Gang poured out.

When they saw the pools of blood on the ground and the group of Cyan Fire Gang members with broken arms and legs, the thugs’ faces twisted with rage as they gritted their teeth.

Then, Hu Qihao stepped out of the last van.

Surrounded by a crowd of hooligans, he walked over with a sullen expression!

"I’d like to see just who it is that dared to cripple so many of my boys."

Hu Qihao said, cursing under his breath with a cigar clamped between his teeth.

But when he got closer, he took a good look.

"Huh? That’s..."

He suddenly felt that the blood-soaked person sitting in the chair looked familiar.

He took a few more steps, and when he got a clear look at Qin Tuo, Hu Qihao’s face went pale with fright!

Qin Tuo, however, just watched Hu Qihao with a faint, unreadable smile, not saying a word.

Hu Qihao’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach. He stammered, trembling:

"Mr... Mr. Qin, so it’s you..."

Just then, with the worst possible timing, Zhao Peng sidled up to him and urged:

"Brother Hao, don’t hesitate! Hurry up and tell your men to chop this bastard into pieces and get revenge for our brothers!"

The group of thugs behind him all brandished their clubs, just waiting for Hu Qihao’s command to rush forward and beat this reckless fool to death on the spot.

SLAP!

But in the next moment, Hu Qihao slapped Zhao Peng straight across the face.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Peng clutched his face, looking at Hu Qihao in disbelief.

"Brother Hao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Peng was on the verge of tears again, completely clueless as to what was happening.

After slapping Zhao Peng, Hu Qihao hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and scraping as he apologized to Qin Tuo.

"Mr. Qin, I’m so sorry! It’s all my fault for failing to manage them properly. I let these sons of bitches offend you. I hope you can forgive our transgression!"

This time, Zhao Peng heard him loud and clear. He was completely dumbfounded.

The thugs were also dumbstruck, standing there at a loss for what to do.

Qin Tuo didn’t reply, his expression impassive.

Seeing this, Hu Qihao grew extremely anxious.

But just then, Zhao Peng, feeling utterly wronged, questioned him.

"Brother Hao, what the hell is going on?"

Hu Qihao cursed irritably:

"Zhao Peng, are you fucking blind? You actually dared to provoke Mr. Qin? I think you have a death wish!"

Rage and frustration burned inside Zhao Peng.

Without thinking, he roared:

"You’re the second-in-command of the Cyan Fire Gang, and you’re actually afraid of an ex-con?"

Hu Qihao exploded with rage, pointing at Zhao Peng’s nose as he let loose a torrent of abuse.

"Zhao Peng, you son of a bitch, you nearly got me killed! And you still dare to run your mouth here? Believe it or not, I’ll kill your whole family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Peng was so terrified he didn’t dare say another word. His face turned an ugly, ashen color.

Beside him, Xu Min was like a turtle hiding in its shell, not daring to utter a single word.

Hu Qihao quickly plastered on a smile and continued to apologize profusely to Qin Tuo.

"Mr. Qin, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. I just beg you, please don’t hold it against us!"

Qin Tuo looked up, glanced at him lightly, and then said casually:

"Isn’t your Cyan Fire Gang supposed to be so powerful? You can chop up whoever you want. I’m not moving. Go ahead."

Hearing this, a bitter smile spread across Hu Qihao’s face.

He knew Qin Tuo hadn’t forgiven him yet, so all he could do was continue to bow and scrape with an apologetic smile.

Off to the side, Zhao Peng watched Hu Qihao’s subservient posture, feeling both confused and incredibly resentful.

Just then, the ground suddenly seemed to shake!

Everyone looked up in shock and saw a massive, dark swarm of people approaching from the distance.

All the Cyan Fire Gang thugs were stunned, huddling together warily.

There were several hundred people in this group!

Every one of them held a club, their faces impassive, but they exuded a terrifying murderous aura.

One glance was enough to tell that these were all top-tier fighters with exceptional skills.

"Oh? Who are these people?"

Hu Qihao’s face was instantly filled with vigilance, and his heart pounded with unease.

Zhao Peng and Xu Min had never seen a scene like this before, and their hearts hammered in terror.

Even Qin Tuo himself didn’t know where these people had come from.

The vast crowd parted, and a single figure walked slowly forward.

Seeing this person, Hu Qihao’s eyes went wide as saucers!

"What? Long Wu? It’s you?"

Hu Qihao gritted his teeth in hatred.

He immediately guessed that Huaiyi Hall might have set a trap here to deal with him.

Qin Tuo was also a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Long Wu to show up at this moment with so many men.

Long Wu didn’t even spare Hu Qihao a glance. He simply waved a hand at his subordinates.

"Everyone, listen up! Protect Mr. Qin at once!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of elite fighters rushed over and formed a protective circle around Qin Tuo.
