“No one yet has the qualifications to make me kowtow in apology, let alone your mere Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty!” As the oppressive aura pressed close, Qin Yichen’s body straightened slightly, then he raised his head and spoke without arrogance or servility.
Having undergone numerous temperings, Qin Yichen’s physical body far exceeded experts of the same level in terms of formidability. If facing Xia Lieyang, perhaps he would only have the option of fleeing for his life, but with merely Xia Baquan, he was not without the power to resist!
Moreover, his cultivation at the Peak Stage Martial King Realm, under the abundant World Energy of the ancient battlefield, already had the sensation of wanting to break through its shackles.
A thoroughly satisfying great battle might not necessarily be a bad thing for him!
“Sharp-tongued brat!” Xia Baquan sneered coldly. With a wave of his arm, a broadsword with a wide and solid design was gripped in his hand.
“Today, I want to see how you’ll escape from before my eyes again!” Xia Baquan sneered coldly. The broadsword in his hand also at this moment emitted waves of low humming sounds, as if it could not wait to drink blood!
And as his words fell, that enormous broadsword became covered by a layer of azure Yuan Energy. In an instant, a sharp and fierce aura suddenly rippled outward, filling this expanse of Heaven and Earth.
“Move away from us…” Qin Yichen whispered softly to Qiao Yuewei, then his gaze, without a trace of fear, looked towards Xia Baquan above who held the azure sword light like a Killing God. In his eyes, a long-absent battle intent surged forth.
He had already deliberately yielded, yet the latter still pursued relentlessly. Since it was like this, then he could only resolve things through combat!
*Bang!* After Qiao Yuewei distanced herself, Qin Yichen clenched both palms into fists and stomped fiercely on the ground. The powerful force directly caused several cracks to split across the ground!
At this moment, Qin Yichen’s momentum was actually completely no weaker than the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm!
“No wonder you could survive the beast tide. You do indeed have some skills.” Looking at the ground splitting with cracks, a trace of surprise also flashed through Xia Baquan’s eyes. Clearly, for a Peak Stage Martial King brat to possess this kind of power was indeed somewhat different from ordinary people.
However, the next instant, Xia Baquan’s voice suddenly turned gloomy. “Brat, today I’ll let you clearly understand that a Martial King is a Martial King. No matter how much you struggle, you cannot create even the slightest ripple before me!”
As his words fell, Xia Baquan’s broadsword trembled, and immediately azure light blazed intensely. Then, a powerful azure radiance surged out, directly transforming into a giant sword several metres in size, tearing through the air and violently shooting towards Qin Yichen.
The azure giant sword shot downward, bringing with it an ear-piercing sonic boom. Before it even landed, the weeds and branches on the ground were instantly shattered to powder!
The offensive of a Mid Stage Martial Emperor was far beyond what the Early Stage Martial Emperors Qin Yichen had exchanged blows with could compare to!
Seeing Xia Baquan attack, Qin Yichen’s expression also became much more grave. Although his Yuan Energy, like that of a Martial Emperor, was gradually liquefying, he was very clear about the gap between a Martial Emperor and Martial King. Even though not long ago he had slain two Early Stage Martial Emperors, that was merely catching them unprepared! He obviously was not foolish enough to go head-to-head with a Mid Stage Martial Emperor!
*Swoosh!* A surge of majestic Spiritual Energy roared forth. However, this Spiritual Energy, upon making contact with that massive azure sword light, was forcefully shattered and dispersed.
However, Qin Yichen had not expected this minor technique to intercept Xia Baquan’s unreserved offensive. In that brief moment of contact, Qin Yichen, taking advantage of not being locked onto, explosively retreated.
*Boom!* The sharp azure sword light bombarded the location where Qin Yichen had been standing an instant before. With a massive crash, a pit several metres in size was directly blasted into the ground.
“Oh? Spiritual Energy?” Sensing that his sword light, which should have been a simple matter against a mere Peak Stage Martial King brat, had been deflected slightly by some invisible force, a trace of surprise flashed through Xia Baquan’s eyes.
Qin Yichen’s methods were truly somewhat beyond his expectations!
“Brat, seeing your Spiritual Energy isn’t weak, those Evil Energy dispelling Pills, I guess you’ve refined them yourself, didn’t you?” Xia Baquan snorted coldly and asked in a frosty tone.
“So what if I did?” Qin Yichen sneered dismissively, his figure retreating explosively without the slightest pause.
“Then after slaughtering you, I’ll search you to see if there’s a Pill Formula. If there isn’t, I’ll let your corpse become a feast for the Demonic Beasts!” A sinister smile flashed through Xia Baquan’s eyes. Then, his aura locked firmly onto Qin Yichen.
Afterwards, one azure sword light after another, swift as lightning, shot violently towards Qin Yichen.
Under this frenzied offensive, Qin Yichen could only continuously dodge. In just a moment, the already desolate earth below became covered with pits of varying depths. It was a scene of utter devastation!
“Qin Yichen…” Hidden in the distance, Qiao Yuewei watched this scene, her eyes filled with worried concern. If not for herself, Qin Yichen could have completely fled on his own. At the very least, he wouldn’t be bombarded so miserably by these attacks!
“Damned rat, so good at hiding!” After consecutively shooting out dozens of sword lights yet not even touching a corner of the latter’s clothing, Xia Baquan couldn’t help but become somewhat enraged.
What made his expression even gloomier was that he himself was beginning to feel slightly fatigued, yet Qin Yichen still appeared full of vigour with no signs of Yuan Energy depletion!
How could he know that this World Energy containing Evil Energy that others could not absorb was, for Qin Yichen, actually a great tonic!
The consumption from this evasive dodging, under the operation of his Spirit Body Technique, could almost be ignored!
“Die!” He, a Mid Stage Martial Emperor, was actually slower in recovery than a mere Martial King!?
Sensing this bizarre situation, Xia Baquan no longer hesitated. His foot stamped fiercely in the void, his figure shooting towards Qin Yichen like lightning.
After avoiding another sword light, Xia Baquan wielding the giant sword was already rapidly enlarging in Qin Yichen’s pupils. Yet at this moment, not only did Qin Yichen show no panic, but a hint of a smile even curved at the corner of his mouth!
“Bye,”
*Slash!*
When the two sides were separated by only a few metres, Qin Yichen softly whispered in his mouth. The Spirit Sword transformed into a white radiance that shot explosively from his arm, directly whistling towards Xia Baquan. The latter’s figure shooting forth seemed as if it were throwing itself onto it!
Sensing the sharp aura coming head-on, Xia Baquan’s expression also changed dramatically. However, he seemed to have already sensed something in his heart. His arm trembled, placing the wide and solid giant sword horizontally before his chest.
