Alchemy Master

Chapter 425, Malicious Advisor

Translator: Silavin

Advisor Wu, although not the strongest person in Jade Cloud City, and not even comparable to an ordinary Martial Artist, was definitely the most vicious person in Jade Cloud City!

Moreover, this man was extremely protective of his own, so countless ordinary citizens of Jade Cloud City lived in fear of offending the Wu Family.

“Sir… it’s that young man…” the small inn owner pointed at Qin Yichen with trembling hands, then lowered his head and said, “Sir, may this humble one be dismissed?”

“Him? A kid?” Advisor Wu’s eyes swept over Qin Yichen, but a hint of confusion flashed in his gaze.

As the City Lord’s Advisor, he had seen countless people, and even Martial Kings were not uncommon to him, but from this young man, he could not detect even a hint of the terrifying aura that a Martial King should possess.

“Get lost.” Advisor Wu waved his hand dismissively, and the inn owner, as if granted amnesty, quickly ran toward the back.

“Seeing someone bullying my Son and not intervening. Everyone present must have an arm cut off!” However, Advisor Wu’s light words that followed made the inn owner stumble and fall to the ground.

“Sir, please spare us, we were just passing by!”

“Sir, I have elderly parents and young children at home. If my arm is disabled, how will my family survive?”

As soon as Advisor Wu finished speaking, a chorus of pleas emerged from the crowd behind him, who were being held down by numerous guards.

“We’re doomed!” Hearing Advisor Wu’s undisguised words, the old man behind Qin Yichen stumbled and collapsed to the ground, muttering hopelessly.

“Grandfather…” Qiao Yu held the old man’s sleeve with her small hand, fear welling up in her beautiful eyes.

The vicious methods of this Advisor Wu were clearly not exaggerated, as could be seen from this situation!

“Ah!” With a scream, blood splattered as a severed arm flew into the air – the inn owner was the first victim.

“Sir, please spare me!” Seeing the guards drawing their gleaming weapons, those spectators being held down all begged for mercy.

However, Advisor Wu at the front of the guards showed no intention of stopping them. From his expression, it seemed he greatly enjoyed these pleas for mercy.

At this time, those who had poked their heads out to watch the commotion, upon seeing this scene, all sheepishly withdrew, only daring to observe through door cracks.

“Stop!” Just as the guards were about to act again, an angry shout suddenly rang out.

This shout was like a thunderclap, making people’s ears ache. Under this angry roar, many guards involuntarily paused.

“So, this kid does have some ability…” Advisor Wu frowned, looking at Qin Yichen who had spoken up, his heart was also startled.

However, a single shout was not enough to make Advisor Wu fearful.

“Kid, come before me, kowtow ten times, and perhaps I’ll grant you a quick death,” Advisor Wu pointed at Qin Yichen, the killing intent in his tone completely undisguised.

The reason he indulged his Son without restraint was because he had only that one Son. Now that he had been crippled, that would mean the end of the Wu Family line!

“Benefactor, quickly escape! Don’t worry about us!” Behind Qin Yichen, the old man’s face was deathly pale. He closed his eyes in despair and sighed to Qin Yichen.

Although he had come back to pack up as soon as the incident occurred, he was still one step too late…

“Elder, after resolving this situation, you can tell me about the bamboo zither.” Qin Yichen smiled slightly, then strode toward Advisor Wu.

“Benefactor, alas…” Seeing Qin Yichen’s action, the old man sighed, staggered to his feet, and pulled his Granddaughter to a corner of the thatched hut, not daring to move.

Soon, Qin Yichen stood about ten meters in front of Advisor Wu, with five or six guards drawing their weapons and surrounding him.

“Alas, what a pity, such a young man…” In the thatched huts along the street, many people sighed for Qin Yichen.

In Jade Cloud City, those who dared to provoke Advisor Wu never met a good end, especially since this young man had reportedly forced Young Advisor Wu’s guards to castrate him.

“Kneel down now!” The guard captain beside Advisor Wu, wanting to show off, shouted at Qin Yichen.

At the same time, he drew the large blade from his waist and swung its broad side toward Qin Yichen’s face.

Advisor Wu did not stop his action; on the contrary, he quite admired the guard captain’s cleverness. He did not want this young man to die easily.

“Get lost!” Facing the incoming blade, Qin Yichen merely uttered a single word.

*Bang!* As his words fell, the Late Stage Spirit Realm guard captain was thrown back as if struck by a giant hammer. While airborne, blood uncontrollably sprayed from his mouth.

*Boom!* Then, before many shocked eyes, the guard captain’s body crashed to the ground. He struggled once but could not get up, clearly severely injured.

*Siii…* Seeing this, those hiding in the thatched huts and observing the commotion could not help but draw in sharp breaths, disbelief exploding in their eyes.

*Step!* At this moment, Qin Yichen took another step forward, his eyes fixed on Advisor Wu.

As he stepped forward, the guards surrounding him could not help but retreat several steps. If not for Advisor Wu’s long-established tyrannical influence, they would have all fled by now.

They had not even seen how he attacked, yet the guard captain with the highest cultivation had been sent flying several meters and was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog. How could they not be shocked?

“Kid, it seems like you do have some skills.” Advisor Wu was also surprised by Qin Yichen’s strength, but there was no fear in his eyes. He had seen plenty of powerful experts…

“However, today your fate and theirs won’t be any different.” Advisor Wu pointed at the trembling Grandfather and Granddaughter in the distance and said coldly, his face twisted with malice.

“Is that so?” Qin Yichen sneered, not rushing to kill Advisor Wu. For someone who had committed numerous evil deeds, Qin Yichen wanted to see what expression he would have after all his backing was destroyed.

*Swoosh!* With a mysterious smile on Advisor Wu’s face, the sound of wind being cut rang out, and then, before many reverent gazes, a figure slowly descended from the air.

It was a Martial King!
