Upon the four bodies, without exception, each chest bore a massive fist imprint, deeply sunken inward. Moments later, their Life Force dissipated, their auras utterly extinguished.
Just a single exchange, and all four perished on the spot!
Watching the youth who had reappeared in his original position, seemingly without having moved at all, the two middle-aged men recovered from their brief astonishment, their eyes instantly bursting with the relief of having survived calamity.
“You… just who are you!?” Unable to even perceive how the latter had moved before his four companions died on the spot, shock filled the black-robed man’s heart. When Qin Yichen’s gaze turned towards him, his eyes also filled with trepidation as he roared.
However, Qin Yichen had no intention of answering him. His foot lightly pressed down as his figure shot out like lightning, his right hand clenched into a fist, striking towards that black-robed man.
Seeing his terrifyingly swift speed, great alarm filled the black-robed man’s heart. He hastily mobilised his Yuan Energy with full force, crossing both hands protectively before his chest. As Yuan Energy fluctuations surged, a defensive martial technique was activated, condensing into a layer of Yuan Energy armour before his chest.
*Crack!*
However, this seemingly solid Yuan Energy armour proved utterly useless beneath Qin Yichen’s single punch. As a terrifying force poured down, that Yuan Energy armour instantly shattered. The remaining momentum directly broke his arms, then continued unabated to smash against his chest.
*Pugh!*
In that instant, the black-robed man’s aura rapidly weakened. A mouthful of fresh blood mixed with shattered internal organs sprayed wildly from his mouth.
“Eh?”
Having unleashed five stacks of force yet failing to kill someone who was merely Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm on the spot, a trace of surprise also flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes.
“You… just who are you?!”
The black-robed man’s eyes filled completely with terror. Watching the youth slowly walking towards him, he couldn’t help but scream.
“You don’t need to know.” Qin Yichen smiled faintly, his palm lightly pressing against the latter’s chest. Then, force erupted as the latter was once more thrown backwards. His body still in mid-air, all life had already been extinguished.
The instant his body was flung backwards, Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly. In his hand was something similar to Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Divine Jade. However, at this moment, it had already transformed into a pile of powder, falling from his fingertips.
Rubbing the remaining powder, examining it briefly, an ominous feeling suddenly arose in Qin Yichen’s heart.
“We thank you for your rescue, Sir. Might we ask for your honourable name?” Seeing the crisis resolved, the two middle-aged men hastily clasped their fists towards him, their words filled with gratitude.
“Qin Yichen.” Qin Yichen waved his hand dismissively, speaking casually. “No need for such courtesy. We’re all on the same side.”
“The same side? Could it be you’re from the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, as well?” Hearing this, the two middle-aged men froze, then called out in surprise.
The other person paused slightly, then his gaze swept across this youthful face repeatedly. After a moment, his pupils contracted as he murmured. “Qin Yichen… this name seems somewhat familiar?”
“Qin Yichen? You’re that Qin Yichen who defeated Yi Buyan!?” At this moment, the first middle-aged man pondered briefly, as if recalling something, then spoke in disbelief.
Watching their shocked expressions, Qin Yichen smiled indifferently, saying. “If there are no others with the same name in the Sacred Land, then that should be me.”
Seeing Qin Yichen acknowledge it, both middle-aged men’s faces immediately filled with admiration.
Although they lacked the qualifications to enter Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, regarding matters that had spread like wildfire through the Sacred Land’s Outer Sect, these merchants belonging to the outermost periphery had also heard a few titbits here and there.
A youth who had only recently entered the Sacred Land yet had already stirred up considerable commotion in the Outer Sect, even attracting the attention of Inner Sect important figures, had long been regarded as an idol in the hearts of countless Outer Disciples and merchants.
And now, this youth had actually appeared before their eyes!
Amidst their excitement, Qin Yichen’s brows remained tightly locked. The corner of his eye glanced at that lifeless black-robed man. In his heart, he always felt this matter was not a simple ambush!
One must know, although the two people he had saved were merely Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s merchants, behind them stood Brilliant Sky Sacred Land itself.
Those fellows actually dared to attack them. This was definitely not some chance encounter!
Especially that Divine Jade which had fallen from the black-robed man’s robes before his death. This was enough to indicate this matter must have been premeditated!
An ordinary Force, even lending them several times the courage, would absolutely not dare extend their black hand towards Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. In this territory, the only ones who harboured no qualms about such matters were probably those other two lofty Sacred Lands!
“You two, consume these Pills. We need to leave.” Qin Yichen casually handed over two Pills.
Seeing Qin Yichen’s somewhat grave expression, the two middle-aged men seemed to realise something as well. Their faces both became serious. At this moment, they did not stand on ceremony either, accepting the Pills from Qin Yichen’s hand and swallowing them in one gulp.
The Pills dissolved upon entering their throats, instantly transforming into a stream of pure medicinal power flowing downwards, converging towards their limbs and bones. The injuries which originally would have required ten days to half a month to recover actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye within mere moments.
“These Pills…” Incredible surprise burst forth in both middle-aged men’s eyes.
“If you can move, let’s go.” At this time, Qin Yichen had no leisure to say more. His expression somewhat grave, he spoke, then directly grasped Feng Qianxue’s small hand and took to the air.
Seeing this, the two hastily followed closely. Looking towards Qin Yichen, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Pills capable of healing injuries so rapidly were definitely not ordinary items. Under normal circumstances, they would have absolutely no qualification to use such things.
With the departure of the four people, this forest area gradually fell into silence. After a while, smelling the scent of blood, several hungry Demonic Beasts emerged, beginning to gnaw upon the corpses on the ground.
An unknown amount of time passed. When the corpses on the ground had become beyond recognition, a pressure filled with powerful authority descended. Immediately, those hungry Demonic Beasts on the ground hastily scattered.
A slender black figure appeared beside where that black-robed man had been.
“Useless fools. Can’t even handle such a small matter!” This black figure glanced at the corpse on the ground, his voice carrying a trace of anger also ringing out.
“They’re just two small fish. If they escape, so be it.” At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared beside him. This newcomer was likewise entirely shrouded in black robes, revealing only a pair of black eyes.
