Chapter 622, How Could This Be Without Me

Translator: Silavin

“Hmph, mere parlour tricks!”

Facing the seven great commanders, whose auras had surged by several degrees, Xia Zelei’s weathered face showed not the slightest trace of fear. What was there was merely a kind of battle intent that looked down upon all directions!

As his words fell, a magnificent aura also surged violently from within Xia Zelei’s body. This aura was like a canopy of Heaven, descending from the sky, as if merging him with the entire battlefield.

Seeing the Carefree Prince’s momentum, the pupils of the seven Great commanders all contracted. He was indeed worthy of being the undefeated War God, the Carefree Prince. This kind of presence made them all feel inferior. However, today they were not facing him one on one!

Immediately, the seven great commanders exchanged glances. The seven of them almost simultaneously shot out violently, and the shocking Yuan Energy that erupted in an instant made countless people’s hearts tremble.

The Southern River Grand Empire’s great commander’s movements were extremely swift. In merely two breaths, he had appeared before the Carefree Prince. He swung the broad sword in his hand, carrying heavy Sword Qi, and hacked towards the latter.

*Hmph!*

Facing this offensive that was sufficient to severely injure a Martial King, Xia Zelei’s expression remained unchanged. His figure charged forward to meet it. Just as that broad sword was about to strike his body, his figure suddenly sidestepped.

The broad sword, carrying terrifying momentum, narrowly swept down just a few millimetres from his chest.

Immediately, Xia Zelei’s hands formed fists, ruthlessly striking towards the Southern River Grand Empire’s great commander’s back that was exposed before him.

“Damn it!”

Having fallen into disadvantage after merely one exchange, the Southern River Grand Empire’s great commander’s expression changed drastically. At the critical moment, his figure suddenly turned, and he held his broad sword horizontally, blocking it in front of him.

*Clang!*

With a crisp sound, the Carefree Prince’s iron fists struck heavily on the broad sword, and the latter’s figure was immediately shaken and sent flying backwards.

*Whoosh!*

Just as he had repelled the Southern River Grand Empire’s great commander, six waves of cold intent had already transmitted from around Xia Zelei. Weapons gleaming with cold light thrust violently towards the vital points around his body.

Sensing the chill throughout his body, the Carefree Prince finally drew the long sword that had accompanied him through decades of campaigns. As his wrist shook, the long sword transformed into afterimages, and in a brief instant, it enveloped his entire body.

*Clang! Clang!*

With the sound of metal clashing against metal, the Carefree Prince let out a muffled grunt, his figure retreating several metres, while the six opposing great commanders only stepped back one metre. Clearly, facing the combined assault of seven people was hard, even for him. The Carefree Prince had obviously suffered some injuries from this one exchange!

“Despicable, seven against one, and even launching a sneak attack!”

On the city wall, angry rebukes rang out, filled with indignation.

“Haha, Carefree Prince, you’re nothing more than this. Today, I’d like to see what you can rely on to stop us!”

Seeing the Carefree Prince injured, joy immediately burst forth in the eyes of the seven great commanders. The Southern River Grand Empire’s great commander even laughed wildly and arrogantly.

Xia Zelei’s expression was gloomy. He did not argue with them. Under the operation of his Cultivation Technique, the Yuan Energy within his body surged like a flood. As he drove it so frantically, the entire battlefield suddenly became filled with an extremely fierce and murderous intent. Looking at this situation, he was obviously planning to truly fight to the death!

Seeing his actions, the seven were also stunned for a moment, then sneered coldly as they all frantically drove their own Yuan Energy.

Countless gazes were all tightly fixed on the violently fluctuating energy in mid-air. They knew that a brutal battle was about to erupt!

On the walls of Twilight City, countless soldiers also sighed darkly. Even some iron-faced men who had never blinked an eye when bleeding now shed tears of frustration.

No matter how formidable the Carefree Prince was, how could he defeat seven great commanders with his own strength!? Moreover, he had already suffered some injuries from the earlier exchange!

But in the current situation of Twilight City, apart from relying on the Carefree Prince, who else could they rely on?

Just as they were sighing in their hearts, the tense atmosphere in the sky suddenly reached an extreme.

Just at the moment when both sides were about to explode into action, suddenly there was a sharp sound of wind breaking through the air whistling from the distant horizon. At the same time, a long howl also resounded.

“How could this major event be without me, Qin Yichen!”

A voice like thunder suddenly resounded from the horizon, then rolled over like angry thunder, echoing in the ears of countless people.

In Twilight City, countless people heard this somewhat familiar voice. They were first stunned, then hope welled up in their eyes.

It was him, Qin Yichen!

In front of the Royal Palace, Xia Zilin, dressed in her battle attire, preparing to go support the city wall, heard this voice. Immediately, her heart was suddenly filled with joy.

Even if they were defeated today, she would have no regrets!

[You! Why did you only return at this time!]

At the Alchemy Guild, Chairman Hai’s expression suddenly changed drastically. Never mind Qin Yichen, even the Carefree Prince could not reverse the entire battle situation with his own strength!

At this moment, almost everyone’s gaze looked towards the horizon. Then, a stream of light, under the attention of countless gazes, shot violently from the edge of the sky. In just a few breaths, it flashed and appeared above Twilight City.

This figure was Qin Yichen!

Looking at this figure who had arrived at the critical moment, excitement flashed in the eyes of the people on the city wall. This young man, with his talent, was completely not limited to the mere Great Prosperity Grand Empire. But why, at this time, did he fearlessly rush back, disregarding his own life?

“Qin Yichen…” Looking at this familiar figure, Xia Zelei’s tense body did not relax. However, his pair of eyes stared tightly at the latter.

With his strength, he unexpectedly could not discern Qin Yichen’s depth!

“You’re injured?” Qin Yichen smiled and nodded slightly, saying softly.

“Just a minor injury, nothing worth mentioning.” Xia Zelei’s tone was very casual. His gaze swept towards those seven great commanders, saying: “Are you confident in stopping a few of them? Let’s see if we can still fight once more!”

Hearing this, Qin Yichen smiled faintly. His dark eyes swept over the seven great commanders, and he smiled. “Please return to the city wall to rest. Leave these small fries to me.”

“*Hmph!* A brat whose hair hasn’t even fully grown but has such a big mouth!” Hearing these words, the expressions of the seven great commanders all changed. The Southern River Grand Empire’s great commander’s expression was even more gloomy as he snorted coldly.

“Can you handle it? Those seven are not ordinary Martial Kings!” Astonishment flashed in Xia Zelei’s eyes, but he still hesitated somewhat.

In response, Qin Yichen waved his hand with a smile, saying. “Rest assured, they’re merely small fries to me.”

Seeing Qin Yichen so confident, Xia Zelei also nodded helplessly and retreated some distance.

After he left, when facing the coalition army, Qin Yichen’s face suddenly turned cold, and a sinister aura spread from his body.
