Chapter 534, Sword Control to Slay Enemies

Translator: Silavin

 

“It seems the Yuan Energy in your body is rather peculiar!” Contemplating that white fist imprint which had managed to block his attack, the Elder’s eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured softly to himself.

 

“Not only did I block your attack, but I shall also crush you to pieces!” Qin Yichen roared furiously, whereupon his figure suddenly shot skyward under the astonished gazes of the three men, charging violently towards the Late Stage Martial King Elder.

 

“Has he gone mad?”

 

Witnessing Qin Yichen’s actions, all three men shared the same thought.

 

Seeing a mere youth who had not even broken through to the Mid Stage Martial King Realm, daring to launch an active assault against him, the Late Stage Martial King Elder nearly exploded with rage!

 

Even someone of his considerable temperament could not tolerate such naked provocation, particularly given that this Elder’s disposition was somewhat narrow-minded to begin with—otherwise he would not have stooped to attacking a young man two Minor Realms beneath him.

 

“Heh heh, such courage indeed. Though your Yuan Energy is somewhat peculiar, this hardly constitutes sufficient capital for you to act so brazenly before this old man!” As his words concluded, the Elder roared furiously, his right foot stamping violently upon the void. The space beneath his feet, as though bearing tremendous force, suddenly manifested an air vortex. His figure transformed into a blur, shooting violently towards Qin Yichen while a furious shout resonated through the air.

 

“Do you know? Arrogant fools like yourself who have died by my hand are too numerous for this old man to recall!”

 

*Boom!* Before these words had finished echoing, the Yuan Energy in this region suddenly erupted into violent motion. The Late Stage Martial King Elder threw a punch, and immediately the entire space seemed to shudder violently.

 

When his fist passed, space itself rippled with traces of distortion, and this punch moved swiftly as lightning towards Qin Yichen. From his demeanour, he clearly intended to show no mercy whatsoever!

 

“Die!”

 

Facing this terrifying punch, Qin Yichen’s expression became exceptionally grave. Though his physical body was several times stronger than experts of equivalent level, facing this punch capable of crushing Mid Stage Martial Kings, if struck directly, death might not follow but severe injury certainly would!

 

Within mere breaths, the two had crossed the intervening distance, now separated by only several metres.

 

At such proximity, Qin Yichen’s cheeks stung from the terrible force of the wind.

 

The Late Stage Martial King Elder’s eyes flickered with cruel intent, as though he could already envision this young man being pulverised to fragments by his punch.

 

*Hum…* At this critical moment, a subtle fluctuation seemed to emanate from before the Elder. Before he could react, powerful Spiritual Energy rushed into his Knowledge Sea, causing his head to spin with dizziness.

 

In this state, his figure suddenly stiffened like a puppet!

 

“What is happening?”

 

The two Martial Kings behind witnessed the Elder’s abnormal behaviour with puzzled expressions. He had been about to pulverise that youth with a single punch—why had he suddenly stopped? They could not believe this Elder had suddenly developed compassion for his enemy!

 

*Whoosh!*

 

Just as the Elder’s consciousness became somewhat confused, a sharp sword gleam suddenly flashed forth.

 

“Damn it! Spirit Rupture Realm Spiritual Energy!” After one breath, the Late Stage Martial King Elder finally recovered a trace of consciousness. However, while still in shock, a bone-chilling sensation suddenly emanated from behind him.

 

*Puff!*

 

The Elder, having just regained consciousness, had not yet reacted when he felt his back grow cold, followed by a Spirit Sword piercing through his chest.

 

The Elder unconsciously touched his chest with his hand, feeling warmth upon contact! His formidable Late Stage Martial King Realm defences had proven utterly useless against that Spirit Sword!

 

“This… this is?” Subsequently, a sense of weak dizziness surged from his heart. The Elder gazed in disbelief at that slender figure surrounded by the small Spirit Sword, his consciousness gradually descending into confusion.

 

“Butler… Butler Bai!”

 

Behind them, witnessing the Elder’s body pierced with a transparent hole, the two Martial Kings displayed utter shock. They called out in stunned voices several times, receiving no response as the Elder’s body fell helplessly downward.

 

“Worthy indeed of a Late Stage Martial King. He regained his senses in merely an instant!” Qin Yichen murmured quietly to himself, then turned his gaze upon the two men still in shock, his eyes flashing with sharp intent.

 

[We need to quickly leave!]

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s gaze, the two Martial Kings felt their hearts chill. They exchanged glances, then without hesitation retreated rapidly.

 

Even Butler Bai had died inexplicably. So, how would they dare stay here any longer?

 

Regarding these two hastily fleeing individuals, Qin Yichen merely cast a cold glance before suddenly activating his Spirit God Technique.

 

The Spirit Sword trembled lightly, moving like a serpent, like pursuing lightning, streaking towards those two Martial Kings.

 

Though they desperately channelled their Yuan Energy attempting to escape, they were overtaken by the Spirit Sword in merely an instant.

 

*Thud!* *Thud!*

 

They felt only a chill in their chests before their feet could no longer advance, then fell like timber.

 

“How regrettable…” Qin Yichen shook his head. He had not anticipated that the Young Master of the Qian Family would fail to appear—otherwise he could have directly eliminated this hidden threat.

 

After resolving the three men, Qin Yichen surveyed the surrounding area before focusing his gaze upon a particular section of the forest below. Subsequently, the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile as he descended toward the forest.

 

Standing approximately one metre above the forest, gazing at the dense woodland below, Qin Yichen could not help but furrow his brow, for the foliage was so luxuriant that the situation beneath the forest canopy remained completely obscured.

 

He then swept the area with his Spiritual Energy but discovered nothing unusual. If anything could be called unusual, it was that within the range of his Spiritual Energy perception, not a single living creature could be detected…

 

“Strange, I distinctly sensed an aura from this direction earlier…” Qin Yichen murmured softly, somewhat puzzled. Had his earlier perception been mistaken?

 

Just as he pondered this, suddenly within his Spiritual Energy perception, the air behind him exhibited strange movement. Simultaneously, a bone-chilling sensation surged from his heart. At this moment, every hair on his body stood on end as an extremely dangerous feeling enveloped his mind.

 

“Stop! I bear no malicious intent!” In this critical instant, Qin Yichen even felt his body locked in place by a certain overwhelming pressure. Under such pressure, even movement proved difficult. Immediately, he could only shout loudly, hoping that whoever was attacking him from the shadows was not affiliated with the Qian Family.
