Alchemy Master

Chapter 208, An Ranyun

Translator: Silavin

After leaving the BiAn Family, Qin Yichen rode a Demonic Beast lent by Bian Qingfei back toward the Alchemy Tower.

[Just one kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones already made the BiAn Family Patriarch so distressed…] On the way, Qin Yichen was pondering where to get Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones in the future.

For cultivating the Heavenly Lightning Body, a mere kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones was not even a drop in the bucket.

While Qin Yichen was contemplating, a sense of crisis suddenly arose from the depths of his heart.

*Swoosh!* When this feeling welled up in his heart, Qin Yichen did not hesitate at all, his palm slapped the Demonic Beast beneath him, and his figure leaped up.

*Whiz!* Almost as soon as Qin Yichen’s figure had just leaped away, a sharp whistling sound of wind being cut rang out.

*Bang!* With a loud sound, the Demonic Beast that had been carrying Qin Yichen collapsed to the ground, with a still-quivering Spirit Weapon stuck in its sturdy back.

Looking at this Spirit Weapon, cold sweat also ran down Qin Yichen’s temple. He had been somewhat absent-minded just now. If his reaction had not been quick enough, he would definitely have been run through by this sword.

“Who!?” Qin Yichen shouted, turning to look in the direction the Spirit Weapon had come from.

*Rustle rustle…* About ten meters away from Qin Yichen, among the trees beside the road, came the sound of rustling leaves as an Elder wearing green robes slowly walked out.

This Elder had a head full of silver hair and a slightly hunched body. However, from that hunched body emanated aura fluctuations so powerful that even Qin Yichen felt his heart tremble, making it impossible to underestimate him.

[He is in the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm!] Sensing these fluctuations, Qin Yichen’s expression became solemn.

“Senior, is there some kind of misunderstanding…” Qin Yichen frowned and probingly asked.

However, before he could finish speaking, another person emerged from the grove, causing him to swallow the rest of his words.

“An Huaming…” Upon seeing An Huaming’s figure, Qin Yichen’s expression completely darkened. Obviously, this Elder must be an An Family Elder. It seems there was no misunderstanding to speak of. They had probably been waiting for him here.

“Qin Yichen, I thought you would forever stay like a turtle in the Alchemy Tower!” An Huaming coldly sneered at Qin Yichen.

Regarding An Huaming, Qin Yichen just shrugged his shoulders, showing no intention of responding.

“Hmph, still putting on airs when death is at hand!” An Huaming snorted coldly, standing behind the Elder.

“Kid, do you remember An Ranqian?” That Elder slowly walked toward Qin Yichen, his eyes flickering with anger as they fixed on Qin Yichen.

“An Ranqian?” Qin Yichen frowned, looking at the Elder, seeming to notice that the latter’s features bore some resemblance to An Ranqian, who had died under Xiao Bai’s feet.

“Today, I shall kill you to commemorate my Brother!” The Elder took a deep breath, his expression suddenly darkening, then his arm trembled. A powerful suction emanated from his palm.

He was An Ranqian’s Brother, An Ranyun.

Under this force, Qin Yichen’s body trembled, while beside him, the Spirit Weapon that had pierced through the Demonic Beast mount flew back directly into An Ranyun’s hand.

“Today, you shall go down and kowtow in apology to Ranqian!” As soon as the Elder’s words fell, his robes danced without wind, and a cold aura spread out with him at its centre. At this moment, the temperature of the entire world suddenly dropped.

“An Ice Attribute Martial Artist, how troublesome…” Qin Yichen muttered to himself, no wonder he felt his aura was similar to An Ranqian’s.

An Ranqian, and even Du Junxiong were Ice Attribute Martial Artists. Howevere, back then, Du Junxiong was merely a third level Peak Martial Grandmaster, and Qin Yichen had still managed to kill him.

However, this Elder was already at Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm, one Minor Realm higher than Peak Spirit Realm. Just his aura alone made Qin Yichen feel his limbs stiffening. Immediately, he hastily circulated the Spirit Body Technique. Only after the Yuan Energy circulated did he dispel that sense of stiffness.

An Huaming was now standing to the side, coldly watching Qin Yichen. If he had not wanted to personally witness this kid’s death, he would not have needed to come.

Just as Qin Yichen had finished circulating his Yuan Energy to dispel the stiffness in his body, An Ranyun’s hand trembled, and powerful Ice Attribute Yuan Energy rapidly gathered on the Spirit Weapon in his hand. In the blink of an eye, his Spirit Weapon was completely covered by this Ice Attribute Yuan Energy. At this moment, even the fierce wind in the space around his Spirit Weapon seemed to freeze to a standstill.

“Go!” An Ranyun lightly said with his arm sweeping out. The Spirit Weapon pointed at Qin Yichen, and a white light shot out like lightning toward Qin Yichen.

*Whiz!* This white light cut through space with a sharp whistling sound, and wherever it passed, a thin layer of ice crystals formed on the ground.

Facing the attack of a Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm Ice Attribute Martial Artist, Qin Yichen dared not be careless. With a thought, the Spirit Sword appeared in his hand. His arm swept out, and the Spirit Sword, covered with a layer of Yuan Energy so thin it was almost transparent, thrust toward the incoming fierce sword light.

*Hiss hiss…* Before they even made contact, a hissing sound rang out, and wisps of water vapour rose up.

“Break!” Qin Yichen roared, the Spirit Sword suddenly accelerating again, colliding violently with that white light in a way that shocked everyone.

*Boom!* With a huge boom, a cold and sharp Yuan Energy ravaged outward, carving deep marks into the ground.

Looking at where the white light and Spirit Sword had collided, the Spirit Sword had been knocked flying away, while that white light had also been broken, turning into wisps of icy mist.

“What? He actually blocked it?!” Seeing Qin Yichen block An Ranyun’s attack, who he had considered immensely powerful, although Qin Yichen’s face was somewhat pale, this still greatly shocked An Huaming.

“No wonder Junxiong was defeated by this youngster. He indeed has some ability.” Seeing that Qin Yichen was merely at Martial Grandmaster Realm yet had blocked his casual sword attack, this made An Ranyun’s eyes flash with surprise. However, in the next instant, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and his killing intent grew even stronger.

To have such strength at the Martial Grandmaster Realm, plus such terrifying Alchemy Prodigy talent, this kid absolutely could not be allowed to live! Otherwise, he would definitely become a great threat to the An Family!

“Kid, your Yuan Energy is somewhat strange.” An Ranyun took a deep breath, his expression turning cold: “But, you will certainly die today!”

With a fierce roar, An Ranyun’s eyes sank, and waves of mighty and cold Yuan Energy surged out from his somewhat hunched body, finally continuously pouring into the Spirit Weapon in his hand.
