Holding the jade token given by Feng Wentian, as he approached the barrier, it seemed as though a strange energy wrapped around Qin Yichen’s entire body. The barrier did not obstruct him at all but rather allowed him to pass through easily.
The moment he stepped into the red barrier, Qin Yichen’s originally swift form suddenly stiffened. At this time, the entire barrier was filled with a Fire Attribute Yuan Energy fluctuation.
However, this Yuan Energy fluctuation was dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.
A mournful cry seemed to echo through the air.
[Qianxue!] Upon hearing this sound, Qin Yichen’s body trembled violently, and then his form shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.
*Bang!* The only room in the courtyard was pushed open by Qin Yichen, and the scene that made his eyes burn with rage appeared right before him.
In the room, that beautiful figure he had been longing for day and night lay powerless on the ground. At this moment, Feng Qianxue’s face was pale, and even her originally delicate vermillion lips had turned somewhat white!
As if sensing someone entering, her beautiful eyes opened slightly. When she saw Qin Yichen’s figure, those captivating eyes that could make one lose themselves showed a trace of desolate colour.
Perhaps she regretted not listening to Qin Yichen’s words.
That person who had been so obedient to her in every way, who had pampered her endlessly, had actually harmed her…
Afterwards, with a desolate smile at the corner of her mouth, she fainted.
[Qianxue!] Qin Yichen cried out in alarm, his form flashing to Feng Qianxue’s side as he fed several Pills into her mouth.
However, these Pills that originally had extremely obvious healing effects now seemed to have no effect at all. She remained unconscious, her peerless face bearing a sickly pallor, without a trace of Yuan Energy fluctuation on her body. Her Soul was also withered to the extreme, and even her Life Force was dissipating…
Qin Yichen knew this was the symptom of having one’s Martial Soul forcibly seized!
He had arrived too late…
He had still arrived too late!
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I arrived too late, I arrived too late…”
Qin Yichen held Feng Qianxue tightly, tears flowing down unknowingly. He had worked so hard for so long, not hesitating to expose so many of his trump cards. The moment he detected Ouyang Haotian’s abnormality, he had rushed to the Feng Family at full speed, but he was still a step too slow!
He was filled with such hatred!
He hated Ouyang Haotian! He hated himself even more!
What did regression matter?!
What did having these abilities matter?!
If he could not even protect his beloved, what use were these things!? What was the point!!
His eyes had turned completely red at some point, and his clear tears carried a red tinge. What he owed her, was it destined that he could never repay it!?
After lovingly kissing Feng Qianxue’s forehead, Qin Yichen gently set her down. In that instant, the aura around him turned ice-cold, and the temperature in the originally somewhat hot room dropped considerably.
“Ouyang Haotian!” Qin Yichen spoke these four words through gritted teeth, his gaze ice-cold as he looked toward a figure sitting not far away.
At this moment, Ouyang Haotian wore white robes, but his appearance was far from the gentle feeling he usually projected. Instead, there was a completely different sinister aura!
Upon seeing Qin Yichen, Ouyang Haotian’s expression no longer held its usual composure and grace. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes, and then he slowly stood up. Clearly, Qin Yichen’s appearance here was somewhat beyond his expectations.
“Brat, I wasn’t going to look for you, yet you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep?” When enemies meet, their eyes burn with particular hatred. He also harboured deep resentment toward Qin Yichen, because he himself did not know what was happening. This young man targeted him at every turn. Originally, he would not have cared about such jealous people, but Qin Yichen’s progress in these short two years had truly exceeded his expectations.
Although the setbacks during this period had not severely damaged the Ouyang Family, they had certainly made them very uncomfortable.
“Ouyang Haotian…” Qin Yichen took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fury in his heart. After all, Ouyang Haotian was a Peak Martial King. However, despite his deliberate suppression, a violent aura still couldn’t help but spread from his body.
“Brat, I’m actually quite curious, how exactly did you know of my goals?” However, facing Qin Yichen whose aura had turned violent, Ouyang Haotian was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he asked with interest, as this puzzle had left him without answers despite much thought.
“You beast with a Human face and a beast’s heart!” Qin Yichen did not answer Ouyang Haotian’s question. He stared intently at Ouyang Haotian, but from the latter’s body, he could not sense even the slightest trace of Fire Phoenix Martial Soul aura.
[Where exactly had the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul gone!?]
“It seems you refuse to drink the toast, then face the consequence for it!” Facing Qin Yichen’s repeated provocations, Ouyang Haotian’s expression also darkened. Vast Yuan Energy fluctuations swept out from within his body, shaking the tables and chairs in the room to the sides.
Ouyang Haotian’s strength was considerably greater than Xing Yuhuan’s before she had consumed the Imperial Transformation Pill. In the Path of Martial Cultivation, he was undoubtedly the foremost among the younger generation of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty!
*Creak!* Qin Yichen clenched his fists, his fingertips turning white from excessive force. A series of clear bone-cracking sounds rang out, and even those crisp sounds seemed to contain a terrifying power.
Qin Yichen first gently placed Feng Qianxue to one side and set up a barrier around her. Only then did his furious gaze turn toward Ouyang Haotian ahead.
“*Hmph!* How presumptuous!” Looking at Qin Yichen’s angry glare full of killing intent, Ouyang Haotian couldn’t help but feel a towering murderous intent surge in his heart.
*Boom!* A fierce light flashed through Ouyang Haotian’s eyes. Then, with a stomp of his foot, his form transformed into a shadow as he violently attacked Qin Yichen.
*Whoosh!* The moment Ouyang Haotian made his move, Qin Yichen showed no sign of retreat and directly met him head-on.
“Seeking death!” Seeing Qin Yichen’s action, a cruel light flashed in Ouyang Haotian’s eyes. His hands, carrying fierce gusts of wind, poured forth like a violent rainstorm, instantly enveloping all of Qin Yichen’s vital points.
Ouyang Haotian’s attack was quite ruthless, and he had no intention of holding back. The tables and chairs in the room were instantly shattered into wood chips by the aftershocks of those gusts.
The overwhelming winds from punches rapidly enlarged within Qin Yichen’s eyes. He was not alarmed by this. His eyes swept through the countless fist shadows, finally locking onto two particular shadows. In the next instant, his hands formed fists and forcibly clashed with those two shadows.
*Bang!* With two sounds, the overwhelming fist shadows were dissolved. Qin Yichen’s form was forced back two steps by this forceful clash, while Ouyang Haotian’s form merely swayed slightly without retreating a single step!
Seeing that Qin Yichen had only retreated two steps, a trace of surprise flashed through Ouyang Haotian’s eyes.
One must know that he was recognised as the strongest of the younger generation not only in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, but even among the Six Imperial Dynasties!
