Chapter 623, One Against Seven

Translator: Silavin

 

“It’s him!” The White Cloud Manor Master naturally spotted Qin Yichen at first glance.

 

His memory was particularly vivid regarding this young man who had caused him considerable losses!

 

Initially, he was unable to understand how Qin Yichen had achieved victory, but now, after gaining some understanding and learning various rumours about Qin Yichen, he realised that this young man was a true genius, a monstrous existence.

 

When he looked towards Qin Yichen, Qin Yichen also saw him.

 

“White Cloud Manor Master, we meet again!” Qin Yichen’s voice actually calmed down, his eyes fixed intently on the White Cloud Manor Master.

 

Upon seeing him, Qin Yichen had already determined that he was the one orchestrating everything, and moreover, the target was precisely those Compound Pill Formulae he had left behind.

 

“Hmm?”

 

The seven great commanders all looked towards the White Cloud Manor Master with bewilderment.

 

[They know each other?]

 

“Who would have thought that you would actually walk into the trap and come seeking death!?” The White Cloud Manor Master coldly said.

 

Originally, after obtaining the Compound Pill Formulae, there would still be one hidden danger, which was Qin Yichen. Without eliminating Qin Yichen, he would be unable to claim the Compound Pill Formulae as his own.

 

He had never expected that Qin Yichen would deliver himself to the door.

 

[He must die here!] The White Cloud Manor Master pointed at Qin Yichen and said to the seven great commanders, “Whoever kills him, I’ll let their Grand Empire select one youth to be my Personal Disciple!”

 

As soon as these words fell, immediately, the seven great commanders attacked Qin Yichen without even greeting each other, fearing to fall behind by even half a step.

 

A Personal Disciple of an Alchemy Manor Master! This was simply irresistible for them.

 

“Courting death!” Watching the seven people charging towards him, Qin Yichen showed no panic whatsoever. A cold killing intent flashed through his eyes, and immediately, an aura no less powerful than Xia Zelei’s spread out from his body.

 

Instead of retreating, he advanced, directly charging towards the Standing Principles Grand Empire’s great commander.

 

“That position belongs to my Standing Principles Grand Empire!”

 

The Standing Principles Grand Empire’s great commander was delighted in his heart, the long blade in his hand striking directly at Qin Yichen’s head.

 

The other six great commanders, upon seeing this, scrambled to act even more urgently.

 

The previous arrogance of this young man, combined with the temptation thrown out by the White Cloud Manor Master, was enough to make them completely disregard their dignity. Thus, all seven simultaneously attacked one young man!

 

“Be careful!” At this moment, Xia Zilin had also reached the city walls. As soon as she arrived, she saw seven terrifyingly powerful attacks bombarding the person she worried about day and night. Her eyes no longer held their usual majesty and coldness, but only the worry of a young maiden for her beloved. A cry of concern involuntarily escaped from her lips.

 

Under the gaze of countless eyes, auras belonging to seven Late Stage Martial Kings firmly locked onto Qin Yichen, and powerful Yuan Energy attacks were now approaching him.

 

“Yichen…”

 

At this moment, even Xia Zelei couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for Qin Yichen. Although he knew that Qin Yichen would not do anything without certainty, the unreserved attacks of the seven great commanders were something that even he would not dare to face head-on. Yet, Qin Yichen stood motionless in mid-air, his posture appearing as if he were suppressed and unable to move.

 

*Bang!* Just as the boundless army cheered wildly and everyone in Twilight City cried out in worry, a tremendous explosion suddenly erupted in the sky.

 

Then, with Qin Yichen as the centre, a powerful Yuan Energy wave spread out in ripples from mid-air. The seven great commanders, who had originally surrounded and attacked Qin Yichen, were now like balls, directly scattered in all directions. They retreated a full several dozen metres before managing to stabilise their forms in embarrassment.

 

The fierce wind stirred up by this Yuan Energy wave also affected the ground. Immediately, the dense black mass of troops below Qin Yichen were directly knocked down in droves.

 

For a moment, chaotic sounds filled the air, and it took quite some time before those troops managed to reform their formations.

 

At this moment, countless shocked gazes were all fixed on that slender figure in mid-air.

 

“La… Late Stage Martial King!?”

 

Feeling that powerful aura, countless people held their breath, their eyes filled with disbelief.

 

A young man who appeared to be only around nineteen years old had actually reached such a realm!

 

“Late Stage Martial King? Is he really only at the Late Stage Martial King Realm!?” Looking at the calm-faced Qin Yichen, Xia Zelei rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

 

One must know that forget about Late Stage Martial Kings, even ordinary Peak Martial Kings would be unable to withstand the attacks of those seven great commanders!

 

They were not ordinary Late Stage Martial Kings. With seven of them working together, even ordinary Peak Martial Kings would only meet defeat with regret!

 

Of course, how could they possibly know that Qin Yichen’s Yuan Energy had been strengthened by Spirit Seeds. Never mind mere seven Late Stage Martial Kings, even when facing Peak Martial Kings, he would remain fearless!

 

“This young man’s Yuan Energy is strange!”

 

Having been directly knocked back dozens of metres, the seven commanders’ expressions became grave. At this point, no matter how foolish someone might be, they would not treat this young man the same as before

 

For a moment, all seven stood in mid-air, no longer showing their previous eagerness to attack first. Clearly, they were extremely wary of Qin Yichen.

 

“Useless, a bunch of useless fools!!”

 

Seeing that the seven great commanders had actually been intimidated by Qin Yichen, the White Cloud Manor Master’s expression immediately darkened, and an angry rebuke rang out.

 

Originally, he had thought that to deal with such a small Grand Empire, it would not require much effort. That was why he simply threw out a small temptation to bring several Grand Empires lay siege on a single Grand Empire.

 

If he had known that matters would drag on to this point, he would have called a few Peak Martial Kings from his own region from the very beginning!

 

Facing the angry rebuke of the White Cloud Manor Master, although the seven great commanders’ expressions were somewhat unsightly, none dared to contradict him.

 

Because they knew that for the latter, destroying their Grand Empires would be nothing more than a trivial matter.

 

“Manor Master, this young man is somewhat troublesome to deal with…” The South River Grand Empire’s great commander spoke with forced courage to the White Cloud Manor Master, while the other six also showed expressions of difficulty.

 

Seeing their intimidated appearance, the White Cloud Manor Master’s chest nearly exploded with rage. Mere Late Stage Martial King tools actually dared not execute his commands!?

 

However, these seven were currently the heart and soul of the coalition army. If he punished them too severely, it would likely damage military morale. With just himself alone, he would be unable to attack Twilight City.

 

“I’ll handle that young man myself. You lot, quickly break through the city!”

 

Finally, the White Cloud Manor Master looked coldly towards Qin Yichen, his icy voice ringing out.

 

“Yes!”

 

Hearing that he would personally take action, joy immediately flickered in the eyes of the seven. In their view, the latter stood at heights they could never reach. No matter how strange Qin Yichen might be, he was definitely no match for him.
