Chapter 359, Taking the Prince Hostage

Translator: Silavin

 

“Early Stage Martial King!” Sensing this aura, many Alchemy Masters had a change in their expression. It was clear the Second Prince was truly no pushover.

 

Without words, the Second Prince swung his arm, throwing a fierce punch at Qin Yichen.

 

*Boom!* The punch seemed to explode the air itself, creating a piercing sound.

 

Seeing this, many Alchemy Masters cried out in surprise.

 

Though many knew Chairman Hai would not favour someone ordinary, none believed an eighteen-year-old youth could withstand a Martial King.

 

Qin Yichen stood motionless, as if frozen in fear, making many Alchemy Masters close their eyes, unable to watch.

 

“Daring to incite that witch to rebel? You deserve death!” Seeing Qin Yichen’s lack of response, the Second Prince did not hold back. A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he roared and increased the force of his punch.

 

As his fist was about to strike Qin Yichen’s face, the Second Prince seemed to already see the latter’s head exploding, a savage smile appearing on his face. [This brat did not seem as troublesome as they say he is. He is quite easy to deal with…]

 

However, before this thought could finish, the Second Prince’s savage smile suddenly froze.

 

Because his punch was caught by a hand, and his full-force strike could not even make that hand budge.

 

After hearing no sound for a while, many Alchemy Masters could not help opening their eyes, their expressions freezing at the sight.

 

*Siiii…* The Second Prince’s full-power strike as a Martial King was caught single-handedly by Qin Yichen!

 

Though he had not used his Martial Soul, this was not something an ordinary person could block, let alone so casually!

 

“With just this little bit of strength, you dare come make trouble for me?” Qin Yichen sneered, yanking his arm.

 

The Second Prince stumbled and fell from the sudden force.

 

“You… bastard, seize this rebel!” The fallen Second Prince pointed at Qin Yichen, roaring in shame and anger.

 

At his words, two Martial Kings emerged from behind Chairman Lin, approaching Qin Yichen with hostile intent.

 

Seeing their movement, Chairman Hai frowned. He had confidence Qin Yichen could handle the Second Prince earlier. However, these two were well-known Martial Kings within Twilight City. It naturally made him uneasy knowing Qin Yichen had to deal with both of them.

 

However, just as Chairman Hai prepared to intervene, he froze.

 

*Whoosh!* With a sword hum, a Spirit Sword appeared at the Second Prince’s throat. The sharp Sword Qi had already cut into his skin, drawing blood.

 

The Second Prince swallowed his angry words, sensing the threat of death. He knew with certainty that any resistance would result in instant decapitation.

 

“Bastard, do you know who he is?”

 

“Audacious rebel! Release the Second Prince immediately!”

 

The two Martial Kings roared seeing this.

 

“Go ahead. Take another step forward.”

 

Qin Yichen seemed not to hear their shouts, speaking calmly as he pressed the Spirit Sword closer to the Second Prince’s throat.

 

“Stop! Stop!”

 

Feeling the sharp cold against his skin, the Second Prince broke out in goosebumps. He shouted loudly but did not dare to move.

 

Now, he truly regrets personally coming to Alchemy Central to cause trouble.

 

Given the current situation, he only needed to capture Xia Zilin to become the heir to the throne. But his arrogance made him want to eliminate everyone associated with her.

 

With Chairman Lin’s support, he thought dealing with someone from Alchemy Central would be easy, no matter their abilities.

 

Now, he finally understood!

 

Someone who could become a thorn in his Maternal Family’s side and earn Chairman Hai’s high regard was not someone he could push around.

 

But it was too late for regrets now.

 

The Second Prince’s desperate shouts made the two Martial Kings freeze mid-step.

 

“Get lost. You think I’m a pushover? From now on, I, Qin Yichen, will detain him instead of your Li Family detaining the Seventh Princess.” Qin Yichen waved his hand, gesturing toward the room behind him.

 

The Second Prince did not even dare to resist, moving slowly into the room under the Spirit Sword’s threat.

 

*Bang!* Finally, the door slammed shut before everyone’s dumbfounded eyes.

 

After the door closed, people rubbed their eyes, confirming they were not dreaming before nervously gulping.

 

The situation had dramatically changed.

 

The Second Prince, currently at his peak, with the throne within reach, had been imprisoned by a youth!!

 

“Quickly notify Grand Marshal Li!”

 

The two Martial Kings exchanged glances. One stayed while the other rushed outside.

 

‘Alchemy Central seems destined for turmoil…’

 

After the Martial King left, watching Chairman Lin and Chairman Hai glare at each other like fighting roosters, everyone had this thought.

 

The last peaceful place in Twilight City likely would no longer stay quiet.

 

After all, the Second Prince was absolutely vital to the Li Family!

 

……

 

Ancient Mountain Pass.

 

The Carefree Prince’s hundred thousand troops finally arrived after urgently rushing. Though it took twice the two days he demanded, they still made it before the pass fell.

 

After the non-stop long-distance march, the hundred thousand troops showed some fatigue. However, what shocked the pass’s soldiers was that despite this, their formation remained perfectly in order.

 

Especially the twenty thousand black cavalry in the center. Their bearing showed no signs of the rushed journey. Their fighting spirit made them look like the Grim Reapers, ready to reap the battlefield!

 

Even more chilling were their weapons and armour.

 

The other eighty thousand troops’ weapons and armour gleamed coldly, all very eye-catching.

 

However, these twenty thousand black cavalry’s weapons and armour did not reflect any light in the Sun. No one would believe the Carefree Prince’s core warriors carried useless weapons. This only meant that their weapons were designed for stealthy killing and slaughter!
