Chapter 470, Unexpected

Translator: Silavin

 

“Master Qin!”

 

Upon seeing this terrifying attack, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wengting, could not help but cry out in alarm. If Qin Yichen were to fail, then his Zhao Family would have no path but annihilation!

 

*Boom!* That slender figure was almost instantaneously engulfed by this terrifying Yuan Energy tidal wave.

 

“This time, you won’t escape death!” Dai Qingshan sneered. This Ocean Overturning Palm was his strongest Martial Technique. Among those at Mid Stage Martial Kings, few could withstand it. He was extremely confident in this strike!

 

*Splash!* However, before Dai Qingshan’s thoughts could settle, a rift suddenly tore open in that dreadful Yuan Energy tidal wave, and an exceptionally terrifying aura flickered within. It was sometimes visible yet sometimes hidden.

 

“How… how is this possible!?” Seeing his full-strength Ocean Overturning Palm had not only failed to kill Qin Yichen but instead got torn apart with overwhelming ease, even Dai Qingshan’s expression suddenly turned dark.

 

“Damn it, even if you’ve been cultivating since the womb, how strong could you possibly be!?” With his full-power attack torn apart, a vicious look flashed in Dai Qingshan’s eyes. Facing the lightning-swift strike, he threw a punch in response.

 

He simply could not believe that a teenager could be so powerful.

 

“How ignorant…” Seeing Dai Qingshan’s self-confident behaviour, Qin Yichen could not help but sneer. [Did he really think my attack, enhanced with two layers of Lightning Seal, was comparable to my previous attacks using only my physical strength?]

 

As Qin Yichen’s arm trembled, a surge of immense power erupted forth.

 

*Boom!* In merely a breath’s time, the two of them violently collided.

 

“Ah!…” However, what was utterly astonishing was that upon contact, Dai Qingshan, who had been dominating the fight until now, suddenly let out a miserable scream.

 

*Whoosh!* Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone present, Dai Qingshan’s body, as if struck by a heavy object, was sent flying backwards in a sorry state. The tables and chairs along his path shattered into countless wooden splinters.

 

*Boom!* After this violent retreat, he finally stopped after crashing into a wall.

 

*Siiii…* Looking at Dai Qingshan beneath that crack-filled wall, his right arm hanging limply, his eyes wide with disbelief, a chorus of gasps filled the place.

 

All gazes shifted to Qin Yichen in a daze, and for a long while, no one spoke.

 

“Hand over Zhao Yaorou, or else, don’t blame me for the bloodshed!” After sending Dai Qingshan flying with a single punch, Qin Yichen acted as if he had done something trivial. He turned his gaze to Xiang Renhan and Xiang Zidi, and his somewhat cold voice calmly resonated through the hall.

 

Being fixed by Qin Yichen’s gaze, Xiang Renhan and Xiang Zidi felt as if they were being watched by an extremely ferocious Demonic Beast. A chill spread from their hearts, covering their entire bodies.

 

If even Dai Qingshan could not withstand Qin Yichen, how could they possibly resist?!

 

“Master… Master Qin…” Xiang Renhan’s voice trembled as he tried to beg for mercy, but under the other’s cold gaze, he dared not continue.

 

“You have five minutes. If I don’t see Zhao Yaorou today, I will slaughter your entire Xiang Family!”

 

The words came softly from Qin Yichen’s mouth, like a murmur, but the killing intent in these words was something no one could doubt.

 

“Quick, release her!” Hearing these words, Xiang Renhan’s body violently shuddered, and he hurriedly shouted to those behind him.

 

Hearing his voice, two guards reacted, hastily running towards the back.

 

Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed in the direction the two guards had gone, and his heart also relaxed a bit.

 

*Whoosh!* Just at this moment, an abrupt sound of cutting wind suddenly arose. The severely injured Dai Qingshan, who had been lying on the ground groaning, was now stealthily stabbing towards Qin Yichen’s back with a short sword.

 

On that pitch-black short sword, there was a faint flow of bluish-green colour. It clearly had been coated with deadly poison!

 

“Kill them!” Having reached Qin Yichen’s back, Dai Qingshan roared ferociously, while simultaneously thrusting the short sword in his left hand violently towards Qin Yichen’s side.

 

Seeing this, many in the hall had contempt flashing in their eyes, but as the saying goes, the victor becomes king and the defeated becomes the outlaw. Anyone with experience would not be distracted at this moment. It was clear that Qin Yichen was still too young and careless, allowing Dai Qingshan to find an opportunity to retaliate.

 

“Kill!” Although Dai Qingshan’s actions were extremely dishonourable, once the disciples of the Northern Depths Sect thought about how killing Qin Yichen today would surely get them rewarded by the Sect. Perhaps they could get Martial Techniques and Spirit Weapons that only Core Disciples could obtain!

 

Thinking of this, the eyes of all the Northern Depths Sect disciples suddenly turned bloodshot. With a roar, they lunged towards Gongshu Zhiyi and Lu Xiaoguan.

 

“Brother Yichen, be careful!” Seeing Dai Qingshan flash behind Qin Yichen, Gongshu Zhiyi could not help but cry out in alarm. At the same time, the wooden bird on her shoulder soared out.

 

Beside her, Lu Xiaoguan also coldly snorted, and a black shadow suddenly shot out from behind him.

 

*Boom! Boom!* In just a few breaths’ time, before many could even see clearly what had acted, more than ten Martial Kings from the Northern Depths Sect were already lying on the ground.

 

Blood flowed everywhere, and the more than ten Martial Kings, who had been shouting for blood moments ago, were now all lifeless!

 

“Damn it!” Dai Qingshan also sensed the disturbance behind him, and his expression turned extremely unpleasant. He had never imagined that these two youths, who seemed to be merely supporting characters, would have such terrifying trump cards!

 

But at this point, as long as he killed Qin Yichen, no matter how powerful the trump cards the two had, it would be impossible for them to detain him.

 

Dai Qingshan’s short sword had already reached Qin Yichen’s waist. At this moment, he could not help but lick the corner of his mouth, as if already envisioning the scene of blood splattering.

 

As long as he killed this great threat to the Sect, how could he worry about not rising to prominence in the future?

 

*Clink!* But while Dai Qingshan was still lost in his fantasies, with a light sound, the sneer on his face suddenly froze.

 

His short sword had suddenly stopped half an inch from Qin Yichen’s robe at the waist, as if it had struck an invisible wall, and could not advance even half a centimetre more!

 

“This… this is… Spiritual Energy?!”

 

Dai Qingshan stared in disbelief at the tip of the short sword. From there, it seemed ripples of subtle waves were spreading outward, causing his sudden attack to completely fail!
