Chapter 735, Who Dares Fight Me?!

Translator: Silavin

 

“Get lost!” Seeing someone blocking Qiao Yuewei’s path, the Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperor barked coldly, his eyes filled entirely with disdain.

 

However, facing the scrutiny of two Mid Stage Martial Emperors and several Early Stage Martial Emperors, Liu Yun’s figure remained utterly motionless.

 

“Eh? That’s Qiao Yan and Qiao Cheng from the Namo Imperial Dynasty? Looks like someone’s crossed them!”

 

“*Tsk tsk.* Those people seem to have just entered, right? How unlucky. Qiao Yan is at the Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm, just one step away from reaching the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm. Offending him is truly seeking death…”

 

“*Shh!* Keep your voice down. If they dare challenge the Namo Imperial Dynasty, their background might not be weak either!”

 

“*Pfft!* have you forgotten what happened to those who offended the Namo Imperial Dynasty before?”

 

“…”

 

The disturbance here quickly attracted many gazes. When they saw that one party was Qiao Yan from the Namo Imperial Dynasty, quite a few people stopped what they were doing and watched from a distance with great interest, while whispered discussions quietly spread.

 

“Young Master Liu…” Seeing Liu Yun standing before her at this moment, mist surged up in Qiao Yuewei’s beautiful eyes.

 

Since birth, apart from her own Mother, she had never felt the slightest warmth from anyone. Even the guards in her Mother’s palace dared to shout at her.

 

After they learnt she possessed a special Physique, those guards not only failed to restrain themselves, but became even more excessive in their treatment. They even made her personally heal their minor injuries.

 

Regarding this, Qiao Yuewei’s Mother could only swallow her anger in silence. After all, without someone’s orders, how would those guards dare to act so brazenly?

 

Eventually, the situation escalated. When the Imperial Dynasties Assembly commenced, Qiao Yuewei, who possessed no combat Martial Soul whatsoever, actually received a quota to enter!

 

Upon entering the ancient battlefield, while the Namo Imperial Dynasty’s people did not attack her directly, they abandoned her alone. Had her luck not been good enough to find herself near a gathering point, and had she not encountered Qin Yichen’s group afterwards, Qiao Yuewei would never have been able to reach Heart Trial City!

 

For Qiao Yuewei, who had never felt warmth from others, at this moment, that tightly sealed heart finally opened when Liu Yun stepped forward to protect her!

 

Naturally, Young Pavilion Master Liu Yun knew none of this. His behaviour simply followed his nature as a protector of flowers.

 

“Princess Yuewei, while maintaining a low profile is necessary, if people bully you to your doorstep and you continue keeping your head low, that will only invite endless troubles!” Liu Yun spoke slowly, then glanced towards Qin Yichen, who was pretending not to know him, and declared with righteous indignation. “Brother Qin, wouldn’t you agree?”

 

*Pfft…* Hearing this, Qin Yichen nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

 

Originally, he had planned to act as though this matter did not concern him, maintaining an aloof stance as a quiet spectator.

 

After all, regardless of Liu Yun’s situation, he still had the Rainbow Light Pavilion backing him. Even the Namo Imperial Dynasty’s people would likely think twice before attacking the Rainbow Light Pavilion’s Young Pavilion Master!

 

But what about him?

 

Alone and isolated, even the Feng Family and Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty did not have a decent residence in Heart Trial City!

 

However, facing Qiao Yuewei’s gaze filled with misty tears, Qin Yichen could only smile bitterly and awkwardly nod his head, expressing his agreement…

 

“Haha, even someone at the Peak Stage Martial King Realm dares stand opposite the Namo Imperial Dynasty!”

 

“This will be quite a show…”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen, whose aura merely reached the Peak Stage Martial King Realm, actually dared to nod and clarify his position, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted with sighs of astonishment.

 

However, no one marvelled at Qin Yichen’s declaration. What existed was merely mocking amusement towards the ignorant.

 

Several days ago, a self-important Mid Stage Martial Emperor had his neck torn apart by Qiao Yan. That bloody scene had left numerous powerful experts deeply unsettled!

 

“Hehe, it seems our Namo Imperial Dynasty has been too low-profile. Even some ants dare to join in the excitement!”

 

As expected, the moment Qin Yichen declared his stance, Qiao Yan’s expression instantly darkened. His gaze at this moment actually disregarded Liu Yun entirely, instead fixing tightly upon Qin Yichen. A chilling voice resonated, “Daring to offend me, Qiao Yan, I’ll hang your corpses on Heart Trial City’s walls so that everyone can see what happens to those who dare disrespect our Namo Imperial Dynasty! Capture all these trashes!”

 

Following Qiao Yan’s cold shout, the five Martial Emperors behind him immediately looked towards Qin Yichen’s group with ill intent. As powerful Yuan Energy fluctuations spread outward, their figures flashed forth, forming an encirclement that sealed them within.

 

Seeing this scene, Qin Yichen’s expression also darkened. He had not expected that even within Heart Trial City, the Namo Imperial Dynasty’s people would prepare to attack directly without any explanation.

 

He did not realise that in Heart Trial City, a gathering place of geniuses, such occurrences were all too normal.

 

Originally, the Imperial Dynasties Assembly’s fundamental nature was: whoever has the bigger fist rules!

 

This place, in essence, merely served to verify whether entrants had obtained Imperial Dynasties Assembly qualifications. Slaughter occurred basically every day—every moment, even!

 

“Haha, such excitement! Why didn’t anyone call for your Grandfather Li!”

 

Just as battle was about to erupt, suddenly a booming laugh rang out from afar. Then, Qin Yichen and the others felt the ground itself trembling slightly. The originally impenetrable crowd suddenly parted, creating a passage several metres wide!

 

Within that passage, a bare-chested burly man radiating powerful presence strode forward. What made people somewhat horrified were the pair of hammers in this expert’s hands, glinting with heavy lustre!

 

That pair of giant hammers exceeded even the battering rams used in military sieges. The dark red colour covering them made it clear these hammers were not mere decorations. To dye such massive hammers dark red, how much blood must they have been stained with?

 

The increasingly violent tremors beneath everyone’s feet confirmed this expert as their source!

 

When they saw this hammer-wielding expert who called himself ‘Grandfather Li’, nearly everyone’s faces, including Qiao Yan’s, displayed profound wariness!

 

“Hey! Such a grand gathering. Who dares fight against this Grandfather Li?!”

 

The expert who emerged from the crowd, seeing seven or eight Martial Emperors with surging auras, burst forth with fervent excitement in his eyes. One giant hammer slammed into the ground as his deafening roar resonated.

 

*Crack!*

 

As that giant hammer struck earth, the solid ground immediately split into spiderweb-like cracks.

 

Witnessing this scene, the originally spectating crowd involuntarily swallowed, their figures quietly retreating several metres backwards.
