Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Touching the Reversed Scale
He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe someone in this world could possess such terrifying skill, enough to dodge every single bullet fired at him!
So, Jiang Liang’s first instinct was to assume there must be something wrong with the gun.
But Qin Tuo had already closed the distance, his furious face now right in front of him!
Jiang Liang finally felt fear. With a sudden shout, he hurled the gun in his hand violently at Qin Tuo.
Then he immediately spun around, intending to flee the warehouse!
He knew he was out of bullets and couldn’t kill Chen Man Ni anymore.
If he didn’t run now, his only fate was to be caught by Qin Tuo!
However, just as Jiang Liang had taken two steps, Zhao Peng, lying on the ground in despair, suddenly used all his strength to lunge at him.
Zhao Peng clung tightly to Jiang Liang’s ankle, crying out desperately:
"Young Master Jiang, no! You can’t leave me behind! You have to save me!"
Zhao Peng understood full well that if Jiang Liang abandoned him, Qin Tuo would beat him to death.
After all, kidnapping Chen Man Ni was something Qin Tuo would never forgive.
Moreover, Zhao Peng knew the Zhao Family was probably finished as well.
Under these circumstances, his only hope was to throw his lot in with Jiang Liang.
Jiang Liang was so furious he could have spit blood. He viciously kicked Zhao Peng in the head.
"Zhao, you son of a bitch, let me go!"
The kick nearly made Zhao Peng’s eyes roll back into his head as he almost passed out.
Jiang Liang quickly resumed his escape toward the door.
However, that delay of just a few seconds was all it took for Qin Tuo to catch up.
"Go down!"
Qin Tuo’s voice, incomparably cold, rang right next to his ear.
A chill ran through Jiang Liang. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Tuo’s palm came crashing down from above.
THUD!
With a casual slap, Qin Tuo struck the back of Jiang Liang’s head, knocking him to the ground, stunned and speechless.
"Manni, I’m sorry. I’m late!"
His face filled with guilt, Qin Tuo quickly pulled the cloth gag from Chen Man Ni’s mouth.
Chen Man Ni immediately burst into tears with a wail and threw herself into Qin Tuo’s arms.
At that moment, Chen Man Ni was heartbroken and fragile. Having suffered so much, she had been thinking non-stop about Qin Tuo descending from the heavens to save her.
Qin Tuo patted Chen Man Ni’s delicate shoulders, his heart aching with affection.
"It’s okay, Manni. It’s okay now. Everything is over."
Qin Tuo’s gentle voice made Chen Man Ni feel an immense sense of security.
"Qin Tuo, I thought you’d never come for me!"
Chen Man Ni’s voice was hoarse, her eyes red-rimmed.
"You silly girl, how could I ever bear not to come for you?"
Qin Tuo smiled faintly as he secretly channeled his Spiritual Power into Chen Man Ni’s body, instantly replenishing her energy.
Just then, Zhao Peng, lying on the ground like a half-dead dog, slowly crawled over.
He knew he was at a dead end. His only choice was to cling to a final shred of hope and beg desperately for his life.
"Mr. Qin, you’re a bigger man than this! Please be magnanimous and let me go! I truly know I was wrong! I’ll never do something so stupid again!"
However, Qin Tuo slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with cold indifference.
"Why is it that everyone acts like you right before they die? Too bad. Where was this attitude before?"
Hearing Qin Tuo’s tone, Zhao Peng nearly pissed himself in fear.
He kowtowed heavily, slamming his head forcefully against the ground with each bow until his forehead was a bloody mess.
"Mr. Qin, this will be the last time! From now on, I’ll leave Ming City and never dare to appear before you again! I’m begging you, please spare my worthless life!"
Zhao Peng’s vision blurred with tears as he cried his heart out.
At this moment, his heart was also filled with endless regret!
’If only I hadn’t provoked Qin Tuo from the very beginning, none of this would have happened!’
He would still be the ascendant young master of the Zhao Family, enjoying wealth, status, and a life without worry.
But unfortunately, he made one wrong move, and then every subsequent move was also wrong, leading him to lose everything.
Qin Tuo said slowly in a deep voice:
"Zhao Peng, I already gave you a chance. You were the one who didn’t cherish it. Don’t blame me. In your next life, remember to open your eyes and see people for who they are!"
As his voice fell, amidst Zhao Peng’s despairing roars, Qin Tuo struck.
SPLAT!
Qin Tuo simply stuck out his foot and crushed Zhao Peng’s head.
Zhao Peng’s head exploded like a rotten watermelon, splashing red and white matter all over the floor. He died instantly.
Qin Tuo immediately covered Chen Man Ni’s eyes, shielding her from the brutal and bloody scene.
Meanwhile, Jiang Liang, who was nearby, was utterly terrified. The horrific scene deeply shocked him, making his heart feel like it was about to leap out of his chest.
Jiang Liang reacted instantly, dropping to his knees and kowtowing as well.
"Qin Tuo, I was wrong! I never should have come after you! It was a moment of foolishness! Please, give me a chance and let me go!"
For someone as proud as Jiang Liang, this was the first time in his life he had ever submitted to someone.
But Jiang Liang wasn’t stupid. He understood perfectly well that if he didn’t humble himself now, he would lose his life.
What was dignity in the face of death?
However, Qin Tuo’s heart was already consumed by killing intent. Getting him to stop now would not be easy.
’Once a demon is unleashed, how can it be so easily caged again?’
"Jiang Liang, you crossed a line you should never have crossed. I don’t care who you are—you’re dead today!"
Qin Tuo’s words were like a death sentence for Jiang Liang.
Jiang Liang trembled in fear, begging desperately for his life.
"Qin Tuo, spare me! I’m willing to buy my life with money! Name your price, anything you want!"
Listening to Jiang Liang’s words, Qin Tuo’s eyes remained cold and indifferent.
It was true that he desperately needed money, and he knew Jiang Liang was very rich!
But this matter was different. No matter how much money Jiang Liang offered, Qin Tuo didn’t want it.
All he wanted was revenge, to viciously vent the rage in his heart.
Just as Qin Tuo was about to kill Jiang Liang, Chen Man Ni suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Qin Tuo, don’t be impulsive! You can’t kill him!"
Qin Tuo narrowed his eyes, a flicker of confusion on his face.
"Manni, after what this guy did to you, you’re pleading for him?"
Chen Man Ni gave a bitter smile and said earnestly:
"Qin Tuo, how could I possibly be pleading for him? I’m thinking about you!"
Qin Tuo fell silent for a moment. Beside them, Jiang Liang’s eyes widened, filled with a desperate thirst for life.
Chen Man Ni continued:
"Killing Zhao Peng is one thing. He’s just from the Zhao Family of Ming City, and they wouldn’t dare to provoke you."
"But if you kill Jiang Liang, you’ll face the insane retaliation of the Provincial City Jiang Family!"
