Chapter 414, Taotie Shows Its Might

Translator: Silavin

 

“Qin Yichen!” Sensing the commotion behind her, Lan Xinyu was slightly stunned. She had not expected that the guy she had been teasing and bullying earlier would risk his life to shield her from these attacks!

 

As her Yuan Energy surged, Lan Xinyu’s pretty face turned exceptionally grim.

 

These were attacks from more than ten Martial Kings! Even she, as a Heavenly Martial Artist, would not dare to take them on with her physical body, let alone a youth mere in the Early Stage Martial King Realm. Although he might have some other trump cards, Lan Xinyu did not believe he could withstand such ferocious attacks.

 

“Kill her, and you will receive my inheritance!” A strange voice suddenly echoed in the minds of the dozen or so Martial Kings.

 

Then, these Martial Kings’ gazes turned toward Lan Xinyu, but their bodies appeared strangely stiff, as if they were Puppets being controlled.

 

By now, they were completely enveloped by the black energy emitted from those black patterns; presumably, their consciousness had already been subjugated.

 

“Kill!”

 

A somewhat hoarse voice emerged from the throats of these dozen Martial Kings, and then they moved, shooting violently toward Lan Xinyu.

 

Seeing this, Lan Xinyu’s pretty face changed. With her strength, even though she had consumed a great deal of energy, she could still protect herself without much problem. However, once she stopped reinforcing the seal, that stone monument would definitely be eroded by the black patterns…

 

If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable!

 

“Haaaaa…” Finally, Lan Xinyu could not help but sigh, her beautiful eyes coldly watching those figures rushing over, her sealing hands also showing a slight pause.

 

*Hum…* Just as Lan Xinyu was preparing to take action, her keen Spiritual Energy suddenly detected a strange movement emerging. The source of this movement was precisely where lay a chaotic mess of Yuan Energy, where Qin Yichen had been standing earlier!

 

“This…” Lan Xinyu could feel her Soul get agitated; even she detected a hint of danger from that subtle fluctuation.

 

*Whoosh!* Suddenly, that chaotic Yuan Energy formed a vortex, and a terrifying devouring force spread out from the centre of that vortex.

 

“What?” Lan Xinyu’s delicate eyebrows furrowed; even the thread of Spiritual Energy she had extended was absorbed!

 

“Like I said, just focus on reinforcing the seal. These small fries are mine to handle!” Just as Lan Xinyu was in doubt, a cold voice abruptly transmitted out from that vortex.

 

Then, as the rotation speed of the Yuan Energy vortex suddenly increased, a slender figure also gradually emerged from within it.

 

This figure looked somewhat dishevelled, with much of his clothing torn, and fresh blood dripping continuously from his body. However, his posture remained exceptionally straight.

 

Behind him, a ferocious Beast Soul appeared as sharp as if it were real. Most heart-stirring were this Beast Soul’s silver eyes rested; even just looking at them, one felt as if they might be devoured!

 

Seeing this figure, Lan Xinyu’s pupils contracted. It was indeed Qin Yichen, who had been hit by more than ten attacks earlier!

 

“What kind of strange Demonic Beast is that?” Lan Xinyu frowned; even she felt a sense of pressure from it. However, she did not dwell on it, but instead nodded slightly, her hands quickly forming seals again, reinforcing the seal.

 

“Die!” As Qin Yichen reappeared before them, the more than ten Martial Kings showed no fluctuation in their eyes. Their somewhat stiff bodies moved, and powerful attacks quickly gathered again.

 

*Swoosh!* Just as they were gathering their attacks, Qin Yichen’s figure moved, flashing away like a ghost, instantly appearing beside the nearest Early Stage Martial King.

 

*Bang!* With a muffled sound, the Early Stage Martial King’s body trembled, and the black energy on his body rushed toward Qin Yichen. In the blink of an eye, all the black energy on his body had been eliminated, and his figure, having lost all its vitality, crashed to the ground.

 

[So, the Taotie Martial Soul can still devour this black energy! It might not be able to do so for the black patterns, but this is good enough.] Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, his heart settled, and his footwork also accelerated several times.

 

The attacks from the dozen Martial Kings earlier had almost severely injured him. Naturally, he would not stand in place to become their live target.

 

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

 

As Qin Yichen’s figure threaded through them, figures fell powerlessly to the ground one after another.

 

“He really has some skills…” Lan Xinyu kept a bit of attention on observing Qin Yichen’s movements. Although those Martial Kings had become somewhat stiff after being invaded by the black energy, upon seeing Qin Yichen resolve them at an extremely fast pace, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

 

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, in this patch of sky, apart from Qin Yichen and Lan Xinyu, there was no longer any other person standing.

 

Dealing with so many Martial Kings in one breath, although it mainly relied on the effect of the Taotie Martial Soul, still left Qin Yichen exhausted. At this moment, if it were not for being in Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area with an evil being trying to break through the seal in front of him, he would really like to lie down and sleep.

 

“No problems reinforcing the seal?” Qin Yichen tore off his tattered clothing and casually asked Lan Xinyu.

 

Lan Xinyu glanced at him, and upon seeing the solid muscles beneath his dried blood, for some reason, a hint of shyness flashed in her heart. She quickly withdrew her gaze, suppressing her beating heart, as she calmly said. “It’s fine…”

 

“Are you sure? Have you consumed too much energy? Can you still manage?” Hearing Lan Xinyu’s somewhat trembling voice, Qin Yichen frowned and quickly asked again.

 

At this moment, on the stone monument, the black patterns with the light of the seal were still in a deadlock, but the Martial Soul behind Lan Xinyu had begun to dim and become illusory. If this continued, the seal would not last much longer.

 

“If you don’t want to die, quickly leave this place.” In Lan Xinyu’s bell-like voice, there was a rare hint of heaviness. She was very clear in regard to her own situation. She knew she could not hold out for much longer!

 

Qin Yichen just shrugged his shoulders, but showed no intention of leaving.

 

“The earlier disturbance has caused the seal to further weaken. The passage leading to the outside world should still be there. You should quickly leave!”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s nonchalant appearance, Lan Xinyu really began to doubt whether the shameless guy, who had earlier let her tease him to no end, who seemed to lack integrity, was the same person.

 

“It wouldn’t be good for you if I left.” Qin Yichen smiled, flying to Lan Xinyu’s front, his eyes fixed tightly on this exquisitely beautiful woman.

 

“Are you crazy!” Lan Xinyu scolded. The slight favourable impression she had developed for him earlier completely vanished at this moment!

 

If not for the fact that Qin Yichen had helped her earlier, daring to look at her like this, she would have probably blasted him thousands of meters away.
