Return of the Celestial King

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Ignoring the Cold Air

The group immediately moved behind Qin Tuo, glaring furiously at Zhang Huan.

"Zhang Huan, you bastard! You’re going to die here today!"

Daoist Chongxu cursed viciously.

He and his senior brother, Daoist Chi Xu, had just been defeated by Zhang Huan. They were already injured, and even their breathing sounded much weaker.

But Qin Tuo stood alone, firmly shielding everyone behind him.

"Qin Tuo, be careful. This guy is incredibly strong, and that Magical Treasure in his hand is too strange. It defeated both Daoists in an instant."

Chen Man Ni warned cautiously.

She had just seen with her own eyes how the Purple Gold Gourd had casually defeated the combined efforts of Chongxu and Chi Xu.

Qin Tuo nodded slightly, signaling for her not to worry about him.

"Kid, you may have a few tricks, but they’re nothing to me. I’m warning you, if you know what’s good for you, back off. I might just spare your life!"

Zhang Huan said nonchalantly, but his eyes were filled with vigilance.

Clearly, Qin Tuo’s ability to blast away the cold qi was enough to make him wary.

It would be best if he could avoid fighting Qin Tuo.

Now that Qin Tuo had reached the Sixth Layer of the Qi Refining Stage, the Spiritual Qi in his body had become exceptionally abundant.

His confidence soared, and he said with a cold laugh:

"I kill every animal like you on sight—traitors who betray their sect for the crooked path!"

Hearing this, looks of immense satisfaction appeared on the faces of Daoist Chongxu and Daoist Chi Xu.

As for Daoist Chi Xu, he was also somewhat ashamed, his face turning bright red.

He had targeted Qin Tuo relentlessly before, but he never thought he would now need Qin Tuo’s protection.

Zhang Huan was instantly enraged. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"Kid. You’re really determined to oppose me, aren’t you?"

Qin Tuo simply took two steps forward, squaring off against Zhang Huan.

The action made it clear: he was going to fight Zhang Huan to the bitter end!

"Bring it on. I’d like to see just how much power a piece of trash like you, who relies on external items, can actually muster."

The disdain in Qin Tuo’s words made Zhang Huan see red.

He nodded repeatedly, a cruel smile flashing in his eyes!

"Fine. You’ve really pissed me off now, kid. I didn’t get to freeze you into a popsicle before, but now I’ll make sure to freeze you to death!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Huan once again produced the Purple Gold Gourd.

"Qin Tuo, look out!"

Seeing this, the hearts of Chen Man Ni and the others leaped into their throats.

At this point, Qin Tuo was their only hope. If he lost, no one here would escape.

Zhang Huan held the Purple Gold Gourd and slowly began to chant an incantation.

Then, a vast, white mist slowly drifted out from the mouth of the gourd!

Qin Tuo’s expression changed the moment he saw the white mist.

The expressions of Daoist Chongxu and Daoist Chi Xu turned extremely grim.

"Mr. Qin, be careful! It looks like he’s releasing the cold qi he absorbed from Xiaoyuan!"

Daoist Chongxu shouted the warning, afraid that Qin Tuo would fall for the enemy’s trick.

Qin Tuo was also on high alert, his eyes fixed on the white mist.

The cold qi billowed out in ever-increasing amounts, pouring from the Purple Gold Gourd.

Then, as if it had eyes of its own, the cold qi desperately lunged toward Qin Tuo.

"Qin Tuo, no! Get away!"

Chen Man Ni was frantic, her eyes turning bloodshot.

She had just witnessed the terrifying power of the cold qi and was terrified that Qin Tuo would fall victim to it.

But it was too late for Qin Tuo to dodge; the cold qi completely enveloped him.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Tuo’s entire body was covered in a thick layer of white frost!

"Haha! I told you not to cross me, kid! Bet you’re regretting it now, huh?"

Zhang Huan roared with triumphant laughter and sped up his incantation.

The cold qi surged out desperately, trying to freeze Qin Tuo into an ice sculpture.

But after a moment, the white frost on Qin Tuo’s body actually began to disappear!

’Impossible... what’s going on?’

Zhang Huan furrowed his brows deeply, growing flustered.

’I refuse to believe this!’

He released all the remaining cold qi, causing the temperature in the entire side hall to plummet.

What he didn’t know was that Qin Tuo was using the Celestial King Order to completely refine all the cold qi on the surface of his body.

After his cultivation realm had advanced, the Celestial King Order’s absorption speed had also increased significantly.

This cold qi looked terrifying, but it couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Seeing that Qin Tuo was unharmed, the expressions of the group behind him turned from astonishment to elation!

"Haha, wonderful! Mr. Qin, you truly are extraordinary! Even this cold qi can’t do a thing to you!"

Ouyang Tianqi said with a satisfied smile.

Daoists Chongxu and Chi Xu both stared, their eyes filled with continuous amazement.

Seeing that Qin Tuo was alright, the weight in Chen Man Ni’s heart was finally lifted.

Zhang Huan, however, grew anxious, becoming incredibly agitated!

"Kid, I don’t believe this! What kind of trick are you playing? How can you just ignore the cold qi?"

In his frantic state, he tried to accelerate the process again.

But the next moment, his expression turned to one of stunned disbelief!

The Purple Gold Gourd was completely empty of cold qi.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Huan couldn’t help but curse.

Not a trace of cold qi remained on Qin Tuo’s body; he had absorbed it all.

Moreover, thanks to the Spiritual Qi converted from the cold qi, Qin Tuo’s newly advanced cultivation realm had been completely stabilized.

"Thanks for that!"

A mocking smile played on Qin Tuo’s lips.

Zhang Huan froze. Seeing Qin Tuo’s expression, he knew instantly that the kid was mocking him!

"Good one, kid. I really underestimated you. But your luck has just run out."

Zhang Huan’s eyes narrowed, and a cruel, vicious glint appeared within them.

The furious and panicked Zhang Huan began to chant a completely different incantation.

The Purple Gold Gourd in his hand began to tremble violently!

"This is bad! Everyone, get back!"

Qin Tuo immediately sensed the danger.

Hearing his words, the group’s expressions changed. Without daring to hesitate, they quickly retreated a good distance!

Then, to their horror, they saw an incredibly bizarre, gray shadow fly out from the Purple Gold Gourd!
