Chapter 617 (1/2)
AST 617 Arriving at Seven Stars Country Again, Four Seas Inn
Shield attack!
Boom!
Third Master Dongguo stopped the Violet Gold Divine Shield with his bare hands but he was already puking out fresh blood, his arms bent out of shape and his bones already shattered.
Shield attack!
Pfft!
Qing Shui’s attack was like the violent storm, without any pauses. He had not even used the Big Dipper Sword in his right hand but already had such a terrifyingly damaging prowess just from his series of continuous attacks with the shield.
This was the result of not having a weapon. Moreover, the later impact from Qing Shui’s “Sword of Fifth Wave” was strong and there were not many martial arts practitioners at his level who would be able to continuously fend off this attack.
Third Master Dongguo died, disappearing in the air from the consecutive knocks from the Shield attack. They were several li away from where their battle had first started. Qing Shui kept his Violet Gold Divine Shield and Big Dipper Sword, heading back the way he came from.
When he returned to the tent, the sky in the east had turned slightly white. Looking at Di Chen’s concerned gaze, Qing Shui felt very warm inside.
“Are you alright?” Di Chen looked at Qing Shui and with a few steps, walked up to him, as if looking for any injuries on him.
“I’m fine, I’m totally fine.” Qing Shui grabbed Di Chen’s sleeve but was grabbed by her hand.
He then decided to also grab Di Chen’s other hand. The two of them faced each other, holding hands. Qing Shui did not want to think so much into it anymore and had already accepted this woman who was like a goddess in her heart.
Qing Shui felt that the tender hands he was holding seemed to be a little nervous, trembling slightly. Qing Shui understood. He was very thankful. He knew that Di Chen understood him. If Di Chen did not take the initiative, Qing Shui would never take this first step forward. Maybe she had really wanted to fall in love with him, thus Qing Shui was already very contented to have a woman like her putting down her pride and getting close to him.
“I don’t know what to say, but I really want to make you happy. I don’t know if I really like you. I only know that I don’t want you to feel any grief. I’m willing to do anything for you. You’re beautiful, very beautiful and you’re like a fairy in my heart. Since this is what you’ve chosen, I’ll do my best to let you like me, fall in love with me. In the future, we’ll have many many kids.”
“Who’s going to bear children for you, you only know how to spout gibberish.” Di Chen’s clear eyes had a hint of intoxicating smile, one that was very satisfied, very calm.
Qing Shui released her hand to take down the veil on her face, revealing her attractive looks. Her snow white face had a faint hint a of blush.
In this moment, Qing Shui felt that Di Chen was very close to him, not like how unreachable she previously was. Qing Shui even wanted to hug her properly, but ended up not having taken that step forward.
“Let’s go and take a look at the Golden Light Eagle which was shot down!” Qing Shui held Di Chen’s hand, smiled and said.
“Mmm!” Di Chen nodded.
The two of them walked over to that dead Golden Light Eagle. The distance was only about 200 meters but Qing Shui felt that the feeling he had when walking this distance was very delicate.
Di Chen let Qing Shui hold her as they walked, a faint smile on her face. She would occasionally turn to look at him but when Qing Shui met her gaze, he would lower his head slightly.
Very soon, they arrived at where the Golden Light Eagle’s corpse was at. Other than having its head smashed, the rest of the parts were still perfectly intact. He proficiently skinned it, removed the tendons and demonic beast’s Core, as well as collecting some blood and bones.
After all, this was a Martial Saint level demonic beast and was very valuable. For the rest of the things, he merely called the Fire Bird and burned up the flesh and whatnot with a fireball.
Qing Shui only cut off a few large pieces of meat from the Golden Light Eagle’s back and feet, planning to roast the meat to eat. The meat of Martial Saint level beasts were quite delicious.
Another Martial Saint level cultivator fell. Qing Shui no longer felt anything about it!
…
Greencloud Continent, Qing Clan!
“Congratulations, sister-in-law, you’ve attained Peak Martial King.” Qing Bei looked at Mingyue Gelou happily and smiled.
The other people in Qing Clan were also especially happy. Amongst them, the one who progressed the fastest was Luanluan, followed by Canghai Mingyue, Yiye Jiange and Mingyue Gelou…
Now, Mingyue Gelou had suddenly attained Peak Martial King, skipping over Grade nine and ten Martial King. Mingyue Gelou did not know what level her Tiger Form was at but only knew that she had attained another breakthrough to arrive at the Peak Martial King level.
Before he left, Qing Shui had left her with many medicinal pills as well as some recipes for medicinal soups to help her temper her body. After reaching her current level, her progress across cultivation realms would slow down but her abilities would enter a phase of rapid increase.
Luanluan now was already a Grade three Martial King cultivator and was proficient in the Crane Form, Tiger Form, Bear Form, Deer Cantering, and Back Connecting Fist. Her Taichi had also reached quite a high level and she had numerous powerful demonic beasts. Now, the Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear had become quite a strong demonic beast at the Peak Martial King level.
Luanluan’s progress let Qing Clan’s third generation feel slightly helpless. Qing Bei was only at Grade 5 Xiantian while the others who were from Qing Clan’s third generation, other than Qing You who was at Grade Four Xiantian, the others were all around Grade Two or Three Xiantian.
Such a speed was significantly perverse. Before Qing Shui left, he left enough Spirit Concentrating Pills and Aroma Concentration Pills, as well as other stuff which could increase their cultivation like the Tiger Vitality Pill and recipes for soups and stews. This was why they had progressed so speedily.
