Chapter 1221, One Punch Explosion

Translator: Silavin

  

*Boom!*

 

As the four swept forward, four formidable Yuan Energy fluctuations erupted explosively from within their bodies.

 

These four Yuan Energy fluctuations were marginally weaker than Zhao Xueqi’s, yet remarkably, these four surges showed faint signs of converging together, and the momentum that produced was nothing short of staggering.

 

“Brat, today we shall teach you the principle that a person ought to keep a low profile. The tuition fee, however, will be your miserable life!”

 

As the Yuan Energy surged, the confidence of the four powerful cultivators swelled greatly. With a simultaneous battle cry, that formidable Yuan Energy condensed directly into a colossal seal measuring over ten metres, which came smashing down toward Qin Yichen’s head with tremendous force.

 

The combined might of four experts, each only marginally below Zhao Xueqi, was extraordinary. Everywhere it passed, the very air was shattered and blasted apart.

 

While this strike was somewhat weaker than Zhao Xueqi’s final blow, it was still something that no ordinary expert could hope to withstand.

 

Yet what was remarkable was that before this colossal seal had even descended, a figure suddenly shot upward explosively, and under the astonished gazes of all who watched, it charged directly toward that formidable seal.

 

Only when close did the figure throw out one single, unremarkable punch.

 

“Hmm, that brat does not look particularly tough!”

 

“To possess Peak Stage Martial Ancestor Realm strength at such a young age, he is likely a prodigy sent here for tempering by some Top Tier Race.”

 

“I wonder what ability he has that allowed him to defeat Zhao Xueqi. Even so, today he cannot escape his fate.”

 

“What a pity…”

 

From the concealed spots on various peaks, gazes filled with complicated feelings watched the slender figure that had abruptly appeared in the sky, and quiet sighs of regret rose in succession.

 

“Seeking death!”

 

The four powerful cultivators overhead all let out a cold snort upon seeing this. The latter’s body bore not the slightest Yuan Energy fluctuation, and his posture suggested he intended to use his physical body alone to withstand the combined attack of the four of them. Such brazenness caused sneering smiles to spread across their faces.

 

However, those sneering expressions had yet to fully bloom when what followed caused their faces to stiffen abruptly, and those smiles froze upon their features, leaving them looking rather like ridiculous clowns.

 

Because in the moment that the seal the four of them had condensed collided with Qin Yichen’s fist, instead of shattering the latter, that seal, under their thunderstruck gazes, went off with a resounding bang, detonating into a sky full of glittering fragments.

 

From between the trees in the surrounding forests, several startled cries rang out abruptly.

 

Using the raw power of one’s physical body alone to obliterate the combined strike of four Peak Stage Martial Ancestors, was this not just a little too terrifying?

 

“The intelligence was wrong. This guy is far from simple!”

 

“Do not hold back! Obliterate him with full force!”

 

The four Peak Stage Martial Ancestors’ expressions shifted abruptly as well. However, they were all veterans with abundant experience, and at once they let out a stern shout, readjusted their Yuan Energy, and prepared to strike with full power.

 

*Hmph!*

 

However, Qin Yichen had no intention of giving them time. These four experts were a fraction weaker than both Zhao Xueqi and Zhang Heng, yet their peculiar method to combine their assault was not to be underestimated. If he were entangled in it, it would cost him no small effort to break free from it.

 

*Bang!*

 

At once, Qin Yichen stamped the ground beneath him, the air abruptly blew up, and his figure shot forward like a cannonball, crossing a hundred metres in an instant. Within the span of two breaths, he had slipped into the heart of their formation in a manner that seemed to defy logic, and a terrifying wave of force swept outward, blasting all four of them backward.

 

“Careful! He intends to pick us off one by one!”

 

Seeing this, the four Peak Stage Martial Ancestors’ expressions all shifted at once. One of them let out a low shout and moved to reform the formation.

 

“Too late!”

 

The words had barely left the expert’s mouth when he suddenly felt the air behind him ripped open, and a residual phantom appeared behind him, as though it had materialised from thin air.

 

“Thousand Layered Armour!”

 

Sensing the danger surging from behind, the Peak Stage Martial Ancestor’s expression changed violently. His body shuddered, and vigorous Yuan Energy condensed into a thick suit of armour across his back.

 

*Bang!*

 

In the instant the armour had barely formed, Qin Yichen’s heavy fist arrived with a thunderous crash, slamming squarely into the armour, and a terrifying force poured forth like a flood.

 

*Boom!*

 

As the fist landed, visible ripples of force radiated outward across the surrounding space, and an expression of shocked horror welled across the Peak Stage Martial Ancestor’s face, for he discovered that the armour he had condensed, under this force, was as fragile as paper.

 

*Boom!*

 

As that brilliant armour shattered apart, an overwhelmingly domineering force instantly invaded the Peak Stage Martial Ancestor’s body. The sheer savagery of that force blew the man apart, detonating his body.

 

Watching as one of their number had been obliterated into blood mist within barely the span of a few blinks, a sharp chorus of indrawn breaths rang out from the hidden spots throughout the peaks.

 

The remaining three Peak Stage Martial Ancestors were thrown into a state of absolute horror as well.

 

They had never imagined that this young man, whose aura was not even as formidable as their own, could obliterate one of their companions with a single punch. This level of power diverged enormously from the intelligence they had received.

 

In that moment, a surge of regret welled up within their hearts.

 

Yet regretting now was already somewhat too late. Through the blood mist, they caught sight of an impassive gaze, and at once, without a single thought between the three remaining experts, they simultaneously retreated with explosive speed.

 

Having witnessed the terrifying nature of what stood before them, they naturally had no desire to share the same ending as their former companion.

 

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

 

Yet at their level of speed, attempting to flee before Qin Yichen was evidently exceedingly difficult.

 

The next instant, as Qin Yichen’s figure swept forward, his arm jerked out in rapid succession, three punches launching one after another. The ferocious gale of force they generated seemed to shred open the very space itself, hurtling toward the three fleeing figures.

 

As they felt the terrifying power contained within those waves of fist force, the three Peak Stage Martial Ancestors finally understood why their companion had been detonated bodily with a single punch. This level of power was nearly capable of rivalling that of a Saint.

 

*Pfft!*

 

The three Martial Ancestor Realm experts gritted their teeth. With no way to avoid it, they had no choice but to activate their Yuan Energy and resist with full force, yet even from a distance, the waves of fist force alone sent all three coughing up blood as they were sent tumbling backward.

 

At this point, they finally understood: this person and themselves were simply not operating on the same level. All the arrogance they had carried before was entirely gone, and within their eyes, a thick, surging dread and terror now churned without cease.
