Alchemy Master

Chapter 459, Evil Ravine

Translator: Silavin

During their continued flight, the three Northern Depths Sect Elders’ attacks grew increasingly fierce. With Qin Yichen’s help, the three of them were barely able to dodge these attacks, which made the three Northern Depths Sect Elders even more furious.

They were prestigious Elders of the Northern Depths Sect, even when working together, they had somehow allowed a few youngsters to escape for so long. If word got out, they would likely face constant mockery.

Although they had evaded the attacks, Qin Yichen did not relax in the slightest. After all, continuing to flee like this was not a sustainable plan. Lu Xiaoguan, who was merely at the Early Stage Martial King Realm, simply could not maintain this pace for long.

Just as Qin Yichen was agonising over how to escape, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his flying figure abruptly halted.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Xiaoguan, who had been flying alongside, immediately asked when he saw Qin Yichen stop. Qin Yichen did not answer him, his gaze fixed ahead, his expression unusually grave.

Seeing Qin Yichen’s demeanour, Lu Xiaoguan also looked ahead and, upon witnessing the scene before them, could not help but draw in a sharp breath.

Less than a kilometre in front of them was an enormous deep ravine that stretched endlessly. The ravine appeared pitch black, its bottom completely invisible. A subtle fluctuation emanated from the depths of the ravine, causing the World Energy above it to become extremely chaotic.

Such disordered Space would deter even Martial Kings from flying across.

“Evil Ravine!”

Looking at the ravine before them, Qin Yichen’s expression darkened. The Evil Ravine was an extremely rare natural hazard. Even Peak Stage Martial Kings would not dare venture inside, as the Evil Energy-infused World Energy within could corrode one’s body. Only those who surpassed the Martial King Realm could escape unscathed!

Though Lu Xiaoguan did not know what this ravine was, the faint Evil Energy emanating from it already caused goosebumps to form all over his body. Without much thought, he knew that falling in would mean certain death!

Just as Qin Yichen and his companions paused, the three Northern Depths Sect Elders caught up from behind. Upon seeing the Evil Ravine that even they greatly feared, they burst into wild laughter. It seemed even Heaven was on their side!

“Hahaha! You brats, why aren’t you running anymore?” The Elder in the middle laughed loudly before jeering.

After clearly seeing Qin Yichen’s face, they were absolutely certain that this youth was the one who had killed Qiu Jizhuo.

Qin Yichen ignored their mockery, his expression grim as he stared at the Evil Energy surging within the ravine, his eyes constantly flickering.

He never imagined that the Evil Ravine, which countless people spent their entire lives without ever encountering, would appear before him. What was even more deadly was that its appearance here completely blocked their escape route!

*Swoosh! Swoosh!* Within moments, the ten Martial Kings who had accompanied the three Elders also arrived. Looking at the Evil Ravine blocking the path ahead, they were slightly stunned. They had not expected this youngster’s luck to be so terrible that he would be intercepted by the Evil Ravine.

“Young man, surrender now, and perhaps if we’re in a good mood, we’ll leave your corpse intact!” The middle Elder among the three coldly snorted at Qin Yichen.

“Yes, if you surrender obediently, we might grant you a quick death!” The Elder beside him, whose hair was streaked with white, added solemnly.

In their eyes, this youth had reached the end of the road. At this point, the three Northern Depths Sect Elders were not in any hurry to strike. Thus, their cold eyes held deep contempt.

“Young man, will you voluntarily surrender for a quick death, or shall we break every bone in your body and hang you on the city wall as a warning to others?”

The Elder on the far left also gave a cold laugh, with a hint of cruelty in his mocking tone.

“Brother Yichen…” After Qin Yichen had stopped, Gongshu Zhiyi reluctantly released her grip on his arm. Hearing these old men speak to Qin Yichen in such a manner, her delicate brows could not help but furrow.

She could not understand how these old men, who were not even a match for Xiao Huang (her bird Puppet), dare to speak with such arrogance.

Qin Yichen patted Gongshu Zhiyi’s head and pulled her to Lu Xiaoguan’s side. After giving the letter a meaningful look, he took a deep breath, his feet moving lightly as he stepped forward.

“Surrender? Who do you old wastes think you are to deserve that?”

The arrogant words exploded like thunder in the forest. Facing the threats of more than ten Martial Kings, Qin Yichen stood straight, without a trace of fear on his face.

Hearing Qin Yichen’s scornful retort, the more than ten Martial Kings were momentarily stunned. Clearly, they had not expected that at this juncture, he would show not the slightest hint of retreat. The arrogance in his tone further infuriated them.

“Hehe! Such a stubborn spirit. I wonder if your bones are just as hard. After we shatter them, let’s see if you still have such spirit!” The middle Elder among the three laughed in extreme anger, his eyes flashing with immense cruelty.

“Northern Depths Sect disciples, hear my command! Seal off the left and right; don’t let him escape!”

With a loud shout, the ten Martial Kings formed two groups of five, blocking Qin Yichen’s left and right flanks.

With the Evil Ravine ahead, three Elders behind, and now both sides blocked, Qin Yichen had truly reached the end of the road, with no way out!

“Young man, you dared to kill a Core Disciple of our Northern Depths Sect. Today, death is your only option!” An Elder flew forward, his arm trembling as powerful Yuan Energy surged forth. Then, in the sky, a streak of Yuan Energy about three to four meters in size suddenly formed.

“Die!” With an angry roar, this streak of Yuan Energy howled forth, tearing through the sky with an unstoppable momentum, fiercely striking towards Qin Yichen.

The Yuan Energy fluctuations contained within this powerful streak left the ten Martial Kings filled with shock. Under this Yuan Energy streak, even they, just one Minor Realm below, felt a sense of powerlessness.

*Roar!* In the forest, sensing such terrifying Yuan Energy fluctuations, numerous uneasy beast roars continuously erupted.

*Swoosh!*

This streak of Yuan Energy, like a rainbow piercing through the sky, shot towards Qin Yichen’s face within a few breaths.

*Boom!*

With a tremendous explosive sound, within ten meters of Qin Yichen, towering trees were blasted to pieces, turning into flying splinters. The three of them were engulfed within.

“Hmph! This is the fate of those who oppose our Northern Depths Sect!” Looking at the cloud of dust, the Elder who had attacked laughed coldly.

However, just as he was about to send someone to collect the bodies, his pupils suddenly contracted. His eyes widened as he stared below.

Within the billowing dust, there seemed to be a figure standing tall!
