Chapter 624, Nothing More Than This

Translator: Silavin

 

With Qin Yichen held back and Xia Zelei injured, the seven great commanders no longer had anything to fear. As long as they were willing to pay a certain price, this seemingly impregnable Twilight City would absolutely be unable to withstand their assault!

 

On the city walls, the crowd had not yet had time to cheer for the strength that Qin Yichen had displayed when their entire bodies tensed up once more.

 

Someone who could make the seven great commanders of various Grand Empires treat him with such deference was certainly no ordinary person.

 

Once Qin Yichen was held back, especially when facing this coalition army with such disparate strength, their situation would be exactly as it had been before. They would no longer be able to hold their ground!

 

Whether it was the number of troops or Martial Kings, the coalition army far exceeded their own forces.

 

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Just as everyone was worried, suddenly there came a series of urgent sounds of wind breaking through the air, echoing forth. The sound was like rolling thunder, rumbling towards them.

 

Sensing this commotion, countless gazes turned towards the source of the sound. In the next instant, everyone’s pupils suddenly contracted. In their eyes, densely packed figures were flying through the air. At a rough glance, there were at least forty to fifty people!

 

Forty to fifty Martial Kings!

 

This was no small number!

 

[Where had so many Martial Kings come from!?]

 

Seeing those figures, a trace of unease flashed through the hearts of the seven great commanders.

 

“Look, it’s Sha Wenbao and Che Liangzheng!”

 

“It’s people from the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce!”

 

Upon seeing the familiar figures at the front of those flying through the sky, cheers immediately rang out from Twilight City.

 

“Damn it! They have reinforcements!”

 

Hearing the cheers rising from Twilight City, the faces of the seven great commanders changed. With the addition of these forty to fifty Martial Kings, the number of Martial Kings in the coalition army that could survive through this was undoubtedly going to drastically shrink.

 

Moreover, the other side was defending the city, and the strength of a single Martial King was far too important for this type of siege warfare!

 

“Manor Master…”

 

Looking at the forty to fifty figures finally standing in front of Twilight City, the faces of the seven great commanders all became ugly.

 

The face of the White Cloud Manor Master also looked rather unpleasant at this moment. Originally, he had not regarded Early Stage Martial Kings at all. Even if he had no battlefield awareness, he knew that with the addition of these Martial Kings, breaking through Twilight City would probably not be a simple matter.

 

“They’re all just small fry!”

 

Facing this addition of Martial Kings that was sufficient to turn the tide, the White Cloud Manor Master merely gave a cold snort.

 

As soon as his words fell, a subtle fluctuation suddenly rippled through the world. Under this fluctuation, the entire sky seemed to darken, and an invisible pressure filled the sky.

 

Under this pressure, the bloody aura that had originally filled the sky completely dissipated. This pressure seemed not to target the body, but rather the Soul. It gave others the feeling of being powerless, not having any ability to resist!

 

“This… this is Spiritual Energy pressure?”

 

Under this pressure, even the Carefree Prince felt a sense of powerlessness. He could imagine himself losing all ability to fight due to this pressure if he stood before the Manor Master!

 

“Spiritual Rupture Realm!” In Alchemy Central of Twilight City, Chairman Hai’s face was deathly pale, and cold sweat continuously slid down his cheeks under this pressure.

 

The Spiritual Rupture Realm not only represented power, but also represented supreme status!

 

This person could not be from a Grand Empire. Even in the Imperial Dynasty, his position was not low!

 

“Brat, you dared to ruin my plans. Today I want you to repay with your life!” The voice of the White Cloud Manor Master was like the verdict from the King of Hell, echoing coldly through the sky.

 

At this moment, those from Twilight City, who had originally felt that hope was in sight, felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

 

Such a person was completely beyond their ability to resist. A Human Grade Alchemy Master of the Spiritual Rupture Realm! Who in Twilight City could withstand such a person!?

 

“I’m afraid you don’t have the qualification!” Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, Qin Yichen’s voice rang out.

 

“*Hmph!* Your tongue sure is slick even in the face of death!” The White Cloud Manor Master gave a cold snort. In the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor, he had already learned that this young man was merely at the Spiritual Flow Realm. Although this was considered quite good for someone of Qin Yichen’s age, it was not enough to make him wary!

 

“Today, I shall teach you a lesson on behalf of Shen Fangu!”

 

The White Cloud Manor Master clearly had no intention of wasting words. He directly gave a cold snort, and a subtle fluctuation visible to the naked eye stabbed violently towards Qin Yichen in mid-air.

 

Although he only spoke of teaching a lesson, once he began fighting, the White Cloud Manor Master showed no mercy whatsoever.

 

The Spiritual Energy he employed, never mind a mere Spiritual Flow Realm Alchemy Master, even an Alchemy Master who had just broken through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm would not be able to to block it!

 

“Quickly dodge!” From that subtle fluctuation, Xia Zelei sensed a deadly threat.

 

Although Qin Yichen’s Yuan Energy was somewhat special, this was a Spiritual Energy attack. He had only just become a Peak Martial King Peak. How could he possibly resist it with Yuan Energy!?

 

As for Spiritual Energy, he had not even thought about it. After all, how long had it been since Qin Yichen had broken through to become a Human Grade Alchemy Master? In just over a year, how could he contend with such an expert?

 

Under the savage gazes of the seven great commanders, that subtle fluctuation visible to the naked eye finally reached Qin Yichen.

 

However, in the next instant, the savage smiles on their faces completely froze.

 

That fluctuation visible to the naked eye, when it approached within less than a metre of Qin Yichen, created ripples before mysteriously disappearing without a trace.

 

“What… what’s happening? Did the Manor Master change his mind?”

 

Puzzled gazes looked somewhat uncomprehendingly towards the White Cloud Manor Master. In their view, this must be due to the latter deliberately holding back.

 

Only the White Cloud Manor Master himself knew clearly that the strike just now had been his all-out attack. He absolutely held nothing back!

 

To see that attack invisibly dissolved in this manner also caused a trace of unease to rise in his heart.

 

“To think the White Cloud Manor Master is nothing more than this!” At this moment, Qin Yichen’s light laughter suddenly echoed through the sky.

 

Almost simultaneously, the spiritual pressure that had originally filled the world was suddenly scattered, and a Spiritual Energy pressure that was not the slightest bit weaker, even faintly stronger by several degrees, rippled outward with Qin Yichen as the centre.

 

Sensing this Spiritual Energy pressure that was even more terrifying than what the Manor Master had showcased, unconcealed joy burst forth in the eyes of all those in Twilight City.

 

Compared to them, however, the faces of the seven great commanders and the coalition army became gloomy.
