Misty Forest.
Due to the commotion from the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group, the area outside the Misty Forest was already packed with onlookers.
However, at this moment, this entire region was in a state of eerie silence.
Countless pairs of eyes widened, all gazes fixed intently on the arm gripping half of the broken greatsword. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Even from such a great distance, everyone felt the Yuan Energy within their bodies becoming difficult to circulate.
Without releasing any pressure, merely through an aura, he had reached such a terrifying level. Many people’s eyes gradually filled with intense shock.
Compared to others trapped in shock, Wang Qunba, the leader of the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group, undoubtedly bore the greatest pressure.
As a Spirit Realm expert, he understood very clearly that this terrifying aura was far beyond what a small figure like himself could contend with!
All of this was given by that young man with a gentle smile who seemed harmless!
Behind Qin Yichen, Xiang Wu and the others also stared dumbfounded at this scene. Looking at the broken greatsword, they knew that today, they were saved!
Wang Qunba frantically mobilized the Yuan Energy within his body, but to no avail. He desperately suppressed the fear in his heart, his gaze constantly sweeping across that young face, while monstrous waves surged within him.
In such a small place, when had there appeared such a young yet terrifyingly powerful genius!?
While contemplating, Wang Qunba’s body suddenly trembled. He suddenly recalled the name that had caused the entire Imperial Dynasties continent to be in an uproar during this period.
It seemed that monstrous genius was from the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty not far from here!
“You… Are you… Lord Qin… Qin Yichen?!”
Wang Qunba swallowed with difficulty and inquired in a low voice.
Though this voice was extremely faint, in the ears of countless people, it was no different from a thunderclap exploding.
As if because of these three words, countless people were so shocked that they froze like in a dream.
Qin Yichen!
This man represented unparalleled prestige and miracles!
Countless wandering minstrels composed songs and poems for him, countless youths set him as their life goal, countless young women harboured secret affections for him and regarded him as the standard for choosing a spouse.
And at this moment, this legendary figure had actually appeared here!?
Regarding Wang Qunba’s trembling inquiry, Qin Yichen did not speak. His tacit acknowledgment directly caused Wang Qunba’s entire body to turn ice-cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
At this moment, he truly had the impulse to bash his head against something and die!
Some time ago, the forces behind him had specifically warned him to restrain himself and not be too presumptuous, lest he provoke someone he could not afford to offend.
Originally, he had not taken it to heart. After all, how could an existence that even the Ye Family Patriarch could hardly obtain an audience with be someone he could come into contact with?
But now, damn it all, he had actually run into him!
The key was that he had offended the man. Moreover, when Qin Yichen had given him a chance, he had even spoken provocatively and wanted to attack!
With Qin Yichen’s current status, forget about his mere Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group! Even the Ye Family he relied upon could probably be easily crushed entirely if Qin Yichen merely moved his finger!
This suicidal behaviour caused Wang Qunba to viciously slap himself twice. Then, trembling all over, he quickly prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully, “Not knowing that Lord Qin had arrived, this lowly one was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. I have greatly offended you. I beg Lord Qin not to take offense. How to handle this matter is entirely up to Lord Qin to decide!”
From his previous murderous aura and arrogant demeanour to his current grovelling, this change in attitude occurred in almost an instant.
The members of the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group in the Misty Forest and the countless onlookers in the distance all looked at Wang Qunba with stunned expressions as he completely reversed his attitude.
This sudden turn of events also made them realize the authenticity of this youth’s identity!
As for these abnormal gazes, Wang Qunba had no time to care. At this moment, his head was slightly lowered, looking at the feet before him, cold sweat constantly emerging from his forehead and sliding down, soaking the ground.
After seeing Qin Yichen tacitly acknowledge his identity, he no longer harboured any thought of resistance, nor did he dare harbour even the slightest resentment. Because he understood what this seemingly young youth represented!
With matters having reached this point, apart from grovelling and apologizing, he had no other thoughts left.
The Ye Family?
Most likely, after learning that the opponent was Qin Yichen, not only would the Forces he relied upon not help him, but they would immediately capture him and personally deliver him to the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce!
Having been able to develop the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group to this extent step by step, Wang Qunba was obviously no fool. He knew that fighting back offered absolutely no chance, while submitting might preserve a thread of survival!
Regarding Wang Qunba’s actions, those mercenaries of the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group who had rushed over full of murderous aura also dared not make any abnormal movements. They knew that in the latter’s eyes, they were no different from ants. The gap between their mercenary group and the latter was like an impassable chasm!
“He… is actually that Qin Yichen?!”
Xiang Wu and the others’ eyes were also filled with shock at this moment. They looked at the indifferent youth, massive waves already surging within their hearts.
Even after recalling Qin Yichen’s name, they did not dare imagine connecting the two. Because the impression the name Qin Yichen had left on the numerous people of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty was simply too mysterious and powerful. Countless people worshipped him as a kind of faith.
How could these small mercenaries dare imagine that they could become acquainted with such an existence?
The middle-aged mercenary beside Xiang Wu also swallowed hard, filled with shock yet also great joy.
Who could have thought that their small Dawn Mercenary Group actually had a relationship with such a figure.
Once this news spread, their Dawn Mercenary Group would definitely become famous throughout this land!
This shock lasted for a very long time before gradually dissipating. Countless people quietly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, their facial expressions appearing somewhat stiff.
However, Qin Yichen looked at the grovelling Wang Qunba with some approval. This man was indeed quite perceptive, able to react quickly when clearly outmatched.
However, the Dawn Mercenary Group had nearly been destroyed by him. This debt could not be settled so easily.
“Uncle Xiang Wu, I’ll leave it to you to decide how to deal with this person!”
Qin Yichen’s gaze turned to Xiang Wu as he smiled indifferently.
