AST: Chapter 616! (1/2)

AST 616 - Third Level of ‘State of Immovable as Mountains’, The Ultimate Move ‘Devil’s Cry’

“Indeed a coincidence! How do you feel now?” Third Master Dongguo smiled as he looked at Qing Shui before he shifted his gaze onto Di Chen who stood nearby.

“I feel nothing except for the fact that your previous words were incorrect,” replied Qing Shui with a smile as he gazed at Third Master Dongguo who was riding a Golden Light Eagle in the sky.

“What words?” Third Master Dongguo had already forgotten his previous words.

“You said you had blurry vision, but I guess you are wrong about that. Not only is your vision blurry, but your eyes are already blind,” said Qing Shui calmly.

After speaking, Qing Shui ignored Third Master Dongguo and retrieved the Nine Continent Boots from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. As he equipped the boots, he also took out the Violet Gold Divine Shield and Big Dipper Sword.

“Haha, you have guts, kid. Even though you are about to face death, your attitude is still the same. However, you are quite unlucky, do you know why I came to kill you today?” Third Master Dongguo laughed abruptly as he fixed his eyes on Qing Shui. His voice had a calm tone as he asked Qing Shui.

“I don't know!” Qing Shui replied as he took out a Godly Force Talisman and slapped it on his body! He was beginning to wonder if that the old man’s long-winded nonsense was spurred from him breathing too long during his days on earth.

“So you want to know why?” Third Master Dongguo frowned when he saw Qing Shui activating a talisman on his body.

“I want to know, but you probably won't tell me the reasons. So no, I don't want to know anymore.” Qing Shui took another Divine Shield Talisman and slapped it on his body before he took another glance at the Third Master Dongguo.

“I, Third Master, will graciously make you understand before you die a horrible death. The reason is the woman beside you. Kid, you can't just get any kind of woman you want, because this woman here possesses a Divine Body. Women of her type are men’s favorite kind of women. Unfortunately, you won't have the luck to enjoy her body.” Third Master Dongguo seemed pleased with himself for explaining his reason to Qing Shui.

“Divine Body?” Qing Shui was surprised that the old man could identify a woman by her bones. It seemed that this old fellow may have a type of dual cultivation technique up his sleeves.

Di Chen gazed at Qing Shui with faintly misty eyes. Although the veil had covered the redness on her extraordinary beautiful face, she was clearly angry at the senile Third Master Dongguo for his disrespectful words.

“Well then, I have said too much. Time to send you to hell!” Third Master Dongguo retrieved a large scythe with a ferocious skull attached to the tang of his weapon. It was white and eerie as it stood out on the black blade adorned with tiny flickers of golden lights.

Black Gold Devil Scythe!

The three-meter long Black Gold Devil Scythe had a crescent shaped blade which extended to about a meter long, and the shaft of the scythe was as thick as an average adult's arm. There was a dense gloomy aura which emanated from the eerie scythe.

Screech!

Third Master Dongguo rushed towards Qing Shui as he rode his Golden Light Eagle at an incredible speed. However, due to Qing Shui’s vantage point on the ground, the speed of the Golden Light Eagle seemed a bit slower than he had anticipated.

Qing Shui calmly locked the “Emperor’s Qi” onto Third Master Dongguo, then he retreated a few steps as he launched a Binding Talisman and an Armor Break Talisman towards Third Master Dongguo!

Qing Shui’s speed had drastically changed for the better after he equipped the Nine Continent Boots that he had taken out of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. At this rate, Qing Shui could even match up to the speed of the Golden Light Eagle.

Third Master Dongguo was undeniably shocked when he realized that his strength had been weakened by 20% by Qing Shui’s Emperor's Qi. Anyone would have been caught off guard if one-fifth of their strength had vanished into thin air as if they were being cursed by an unknown force or something malevolent.

On top of that, he was also struck with a Binding Talisman. This caused him to deeply reconsider his opinion of the young man in front of him. Judging by his easygoing attitude earlier, could he have been hiding his real power all along?

He was so young, there was no way he would be able do that…...

However, within the next few seconds, Third Master Dongguo quickly realized that it could have been true. His expression gradually turned sour as he felt the imposing aura within Qing Shui growing increasingly stronger and more powerful.

Nature Energy!

State of Immovable as Mountains!

Thunder Slash!

Frenzied Bull’s Strength!

…….

Not in a million years would Third Master Dongguo think that Qing Shui was able to reach a terrifying level of cultivation at such a young age. A devil like him would only exist in those hidden influential clans he had never heard about. It was also considered rare that someone of his power would exist in those clans that had existed for generations and centuries. Otherwise, he would never feel this way about a young man at this age.

Nevertheless, Third Master Dongguo decided to rush towards Qing Shui while he rode his Golden Light Eagle at a faster speed than before. The Black Gold Devil Scythe in his hands was fuming with an overwhelming murderous intent.

Up!

Qing Shui quickly flew up in the air towards the incoming Golden Light Eagle. His face revealed a smirk as he inched closer to the eagle. This caused Third Master Dongguo to feel slightly uncomfortable and worried.

Before this, Qing Shui had been in an evasive mode from the beginning. Although Third Master Dongguo was able to sense Qing Shui’s imposing yet moderate aura, he thought he was still able to defeat him somehow. He also thought that Qing Shui had a special technique that could increase his aura to intimidate his opponents.

Demon Binding Ropes!

Just when the two of them were approaching to each other, Qing Shui suddenly released the Demon Binding Ropes and used the Shield Attack by bashing his Violet Gold Divine Shield against the Golden Light Eagle’s ‘bird head’ violently!

Bang!

Screeech!

A short painful screech resounded through the sky as a large amount of blood was spilled from the large flying beast. Even though the eagle was classified as a Grade One Martial Saint flying beast, it still wasn’t able to endure a force of a thousand countries combined against its head. The skull of the Golden Light Eagle was cracked open and inevitably, its brains were blown out as well.

The Golden Light Eagle fell to the ground with a loud boom. As soon as the flying beast fell, Qing Shui immediately whipped the ropes to about 200 meters long and knocked everything into shambles. After a while, everything went silent.

The Demon Binding Ropes had lost its effect and returned back to Qing Shui’s hands.

Meanwhile, Third Master Dongguo was hovering in mid-air seemingly to have just recovered from the impact of the Shield Attack. Even though he was not directly bashed by Qing Shui’s Violet Gold Divine Shield, he could still feel the impact while riding on the back of the Golden Light Eagle. He looked up to see Qing Shui staring at him while giving him a cold smile nearby.

Third Master Dongguo was able to feel Qing Shui’s true strength from the impact while in his weakened state. However, he still wanted to show that he could be stronger than Qing Shui; this young man was strong because of his miscellaneous weapons and techniques. If Third Master Dongguo was not careful enough, he could easily lose his life.

Qing Shui quickly put back his Demon Binding Ropes, and with his Nine Continent Boots equipped, he decided to properly battle with Third Master Dongguo head on!

He pushed himself forward with both his legs in mid-air and rushed towards Third Master Dongguo in a flash. Qing Shui had a faint afterimage of a hawk rising through the sky as he sped towards Third Master Dongguo.

Piercing Sword!

Qing Shui struck a ray of mesmerizing starry lights from his Big Dipper Sword as he pointed his sword with the intention to stab the Third Master Dongguo’s throat.

“Argh! Go to hell!”

Third Master Dongguo shouted while he swung his Black Gold Devil Scythe and separated his weapon into two complete scythes. He swung one of his scythes at Qing Shui while using the other to block Qing Shui’s Big Dipper Sword.

Qing Shui quickly held up his Violet Gold Divine Shield with his left hand and used it to block the incoming scythe attack!

At the same time, Qing Shui turned the stabbing point of his Big Dipper Sword to somewhere else!

Art of Pursuing!
