Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Distant Cousin
"Watch out! Get down!"
Qin Tuo roared, and Chen Man Ni and Long Wu quickly dove under their seats.
WHIZ! WHIZ! WHIZ!
A few bullets pierced the car’s windows, but Qin Tuo had already burst out of the car door like a pouncing tiger, rushing forward.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
With a flurry of palm strikes, Qin Tuo sent all the assassins sprawling to the ground.
He was so fast that the assassins were utterly dumbfounded. They were taken down before they could even get a clear look at him.
"Speak! Who sent you?"
Qin Tuo growled, his teeth clenched.
’If I hadn’t been so quick,’ he thought, ’Chen Man Ni would have been shot dead!’
Struck by the powerful impact of Qin Tuo’s Spiritual Power, the assassins’ internal organs were already shattered. They didn’t have long to live.
They stubbornly gritted their teeth, closed their eyes, and didn’t say a word.
"Heh. Not talking, are we? Then I’ll skin you alive and make you watch your own flesh rot away, piece by piece, until the ants have eaten you clean!"
With that, Qin Tuo picked up a shard of glass and sliced it across one of the assassins’ chests.
The assassin grunted in pain but kept his mouth tightly shut.
A cruel smile touched Qin Tuo’s lips as he began to rip at the skin on the assassin’s chest.
"Aaaargh..."
The assassin screamed in agony.
The sight sent a chill down the spines of the other assassins.
They weren’t afraid of death, but they were afraid of torture worse than death itself.
"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Stop!"
One of the assassins with weaker psychological fortitude broke down and spoke.
Qin Tuo stared at him, his eyes exuding an immense pressure.
The assassin immediately said:
"We were sent by the Jiang Family to take your life. Mr. Jiang wants us to bring your corpse back to him!"
Now Qin Tuo understood. So it was Jiang Mingfeng pulling the strings.
’So, Jiang Mingfeng, you refuse to let this go. That means you’ve had people watching me in Ming City all along!’
A chill settled in Qin Tuo’s heart.
He slowly rose to his feet and, one by one, stomped on each assassin’s head, crushing it.
After killing the assassins, Qin Tuo returned to the car.
Long Wu and Chen Man Ni clutched their chests, their faces pale with lingering fear.
"Celestial King, who were they?"
Long Wu couldn’t help but ask worriedly.
Qin Tuo’s voice was low and heavy.
"They were assassins from the Jiang Family, sent here specifically to intercept us!"
"What? The Jiang Family? They’ve got some nerve!"
Chen Man Ni was stunned. She hadn’t realized the conflict between Qin Tuo and the Jiang Family had reached a point of no return.
Qin Tuo sneered.
"Heh. If the Jiang Family wants to start something, I’ll be the one to finish it. Since they chose to play dirty, they better be ready for my revenge!"
Seeing Qin Tuo’s ice-cold expression, Long Wu couldn’t help but shiver.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of pity for the Jiang Family.
He knew all too well just how terrifying Qin Tuo was when truly angered.
"Long Wu, take a look. Can this car still run?"
Qin Tuo asked, his face full of worry.
Long Wu tinkered with it for a while, then smiled as the engine roared to life.
"Celestial King, it can still drive. It should be able to make it into the city!"
"Alright, Long Wu. Let’s get back on the road."
Qin Tuo gave a wave, and the three of them set off again in the battered car, heading slowly toward Jin City.
The moment they entered Jin City’s limits, Qin Tuo said:
"Long Wu, find a repair shop and get the car fixed."
Long Wu nodded, driving slowly while looking for a repair shop.
Just then, he spotted one by the side of the road.
However, Long Wu glanced at the rearview mirror and said in a low tone:
"Celestial King, I think we’re being followed again..."
An icy glint appeared in Qin Tuo’s eyes.
’The Jiang Family must have sent a second wave of assassins,’ he thought instantly.
"How many of them?"
Qin Tuo asked slowly.
Long Wu replied seriously:
"It’s a white Mercedes. It’s been following us for a while."
Qin Tuo nodded and said:
"Long Wu, pull over. Manni, stay in the car. I’ll go check it out!"
Chen Man Ni said worriedly:
"Qin Tuo, will you be in danger if you go alone?"
Qin Tuo shook his head and smiled.
"Don’t worry, Manni. It’s not that easy for these hounds of the Jiang Family to hurt me!"
Thinking about how even bullets couldn’t harm someone with Qin Tuo’s skills, Chen Man Ni instantly felt much more at ease.
So, Qin Tuo opened the car door, projected a protective aura around himself, and strode quickly toward the white Mercedes behind them.
Inside the white Mercedes, a girl in casual clothes with a vigilant expression was driving nervously.
’Huh? Why did they stop?’
Her eyes suddenly widened as she saw Qin Tuo appear directly in front of her car!
"Ah..."
The girl was startled. She immediately slammed on the brakes, barely avoiding a collision with Qin Tuo.
With a cold expression, Qin Tuo walked over to the window.
He tapped lightly on the glass twice and sneered:
"Following us for this long... you having fun?"
The car window slowly lowered, revealing a beautiful, even somewhat childish, face.
Qin Tuo was momentarily stunned.
He glanced inside the car; apart from the girl in front of him, there was no one else.
Just as Qin Tuo was about to ask a question, the girl beat him to it, demanding:
"Who are you people? Why did you kidnap my cousin?"
Seeing the girl’s angry expression, Qin Tuo was even more baffled.
He asked subconsciously.
"Oh? Who’s your cousin? Why would we kidnap her?"
The girl pouted, frowned, and said:
"Still pretending? I just saw my cousin in your car at the intersection. You two don’t look like good people. Let her go right now, or I’m calling the police!"
Hearing this, Qin Tuo finally understood what was going on and couldn’t help but chuckle.
He guessed that this girl must be the cousin Chen Man Ni had told him about, Lin Yuyan.
Qin Tuo smiled and said:
"If I’m not mistaken, you must be Lin Yuyan, right?"
Lin Yuyan looked as if she’d seen a ghost, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
"Hey! You villain, how do you know my name?"
Qin Tuo shook his head and chuckled.
"Your cousin, Chen Man Ni, is my friend. I’m not a bad guy."
However, Lin Yuyan’s face was full of suspicion. She unabashedly sized Qin Tuo up from head to toe, clearly not believing him.
At this moment, seeing the stalemate, Long Wu also opened his car door and walked over slowly with a grim face.
