Chapter: 705 (1/2)

AST 705 – Turn of Events, It Wasn’t Over Yet

Qing Shui’s words were just too blunt. The Luo Clan was the largest and most prominent clan in Cold Ice City. Even the Tu Clan would not dare to cause a ruckus with the members of the Luo Clan. The Hai Clan had fallen into a complete mess, so they desperately needed the support of the Luo Clan to settle their matters with the Tu Clan.

It hadn’t been a simple case to start with, and it became more complicated after Qing Shui said the Luo Clan could never deserve a woman like Hai Dongqing.In the World of the Nine Continents, those who possessed power and strong martial skills would be able to have it all. Not only could they have the most spectacular woman in the world, they could also have many others if they wanted to. In essence, the head of the Luo Clan had the right to deserve every woman in Ice Cold City, regardless of her status.

“Kid, I will deal with you later. This is the Hai Clan, so you don’t have the right to say such useless things. If you don’t want to die, then shut your mouth.” Hai Chuan shouted in a thin strident voice despite having a delicate tone.

“I didn’t think a person who’s neither a man nor a woman could shout in such a piercing way like this. You have such a feeble Yang pulse. If you didn’t depend on medicines, even if that woman were to present herself to you, you could only stand and watch her. Huh, what a waste of a dick.”

Qing Shui’s casual comment had completely angered Hai Chuan. His face turned red in anger, as if someone had stepped on the fur of his tail. Qing Shui had touched on his ultimate pain, which Hai Chuan had managed to conceal behind his delicate demeanor on usual days.Regardless, even if someone knew of it, no one had dared to mention it to his face before.

“Kid, you’re really asking for it. Having a smart mouth isn’t the best trait one can have. I’ll consider you capable if you can keep that up in front of the powerful people later.” Hai Chuan slowly walked up to Qing Shui as he talked.

“Let me take care of this for you!” Qing Shui stepped backwards a bit and said in a soft-spoken tone to Hai Dongqing without turning his head towards her.

Hai Dongqing still felt unnerved at this point. However, since these men in the courtyard had no basic respect left in their soul, she would have no choice but to fight it out with them. She felt the need to step in to save the situation from getting worse. If her big brother was here, he wouldn’t consent to her behavior right now.

“Let me do this myself!” Hai Dongqing stepped to the side of Qing Shui while wielding the Luan Silver Sword.

“Dongqing, do you really want to fight with the members of the Hai Clan?” Hai Chuan stared intensely at Hai Dongqing. He knew very well that this woman must never die, because the Hai Clan still needed her for the clan’s survival.

She replied by swiftly pointing the sword at him in a purposeful manner. Her speed and demeanor had thrown off Hai Chuan’s balance, so he quickly drank his wine to get back into the reality of the situation.

Hai Dongqing was initially an Elementary Martial Saint, but she had successfully advanced to the level of a Grade Two Martial Saint due to Qing Shui’s medicinal pills. The Luan Silver Battle Dress she was wearing doubled her powers as well, meaning she was now stronger than a Grade Two Martial Saint.

She had already surpassed Hai Chuan’s power, so even without the Luan’s Strength, she would have defeated Hai Chuan quite easily. If she summoned the Silver Spirit Beast to assist her in the fight, she could easily kill this effeminate man in a split second.

Hai Chuan pushed away the woman in his arms and began to look at Hai Dongqing seriously. How did she even gain such an amount of power in the span of a month?

What he didn’t know was that the Luan Silver Battle Dress she was wearing was the main reason she had become exceptionally strong.

“Your brother and the others are in my grasp. Do you not care whether they live or die?” Just then, a few dozen men came into the courtyard in succession. The one who asked the question was none other than a stout but semi-old man by the name of Hai Zhen, the head of the Hai Clan.

Hai Dongqing, who was in a battle stance, suddenly stopped. Although he was furious, Hai Chuan did not try to fight her. He knew that Hai Dongqing could not be touched, otherwise his brother would kill him. The Hai Clan still needed this woman to save their own hides.

“The Hai Clan used to be one of the three great clans of Ice Cold City. Now all you can do is beg for pity like a dog. What a joke.” Qing Shui didn’t care who the head of the clan was. He ridiculed the Hai Clan directly without any restraint.

“Young man. You are decently powerful, but don’t be so cocky. I don’t know whether you’re a fearless fool or someone who is confused about our situation. Do you seriously think that you alone can challenge the whole Hai Clan?” Hai Zhen frowned as he looked at Qing Shui.

At that moment, he released a strong suppressing aura from his body. Qing Shui could tell from his aura that he was a Grade Ten Martial Saint who possessed about 6000 countries of strength.

Qing Shui had a special skill to hide his true power. His disguised aura revealed that he only had fewer than 3000 countries of strength, less than half of Hai Zhen’s strength. Even though Qing Shui was an exceptional martial warrior, his opponent would not even take him seriously.

Hai Zhen could also vaguely make a guess as to which clan Qing Shui belonged to. He was familiar with Cold Ice City more than anyone, so naturally he would know which clans had powerful descendents and which did not. Yet despite his familiarity, it was impossible for any clan in Cold Ice City to have someone as powerful as Qing Shui.

Just as he was still guessing which clan Qing Shui belonged to, Qing Shui spoke out in a nonchalant tone: “The Hai Clan is still unworthy!”

His words had everyone stunned. The Hai Clan was like a camel, and even if it were to die from starvation, it would still be superior than a regular horse. Qing Shui’s words were a sign that he was ready to challenge the entire Hai Clan.

“Hahaha…….”

Hai Zhen, who was in his thoughts a moment ago, began to laugh out loudly. He felt that the young man in front of him could not be described by the word ‘crazy’ anymore. He could only be described as an ignorant fool, and a stupid one at that.

Qing Shui wasted no more breath. These men were like ants in his eyes, so no matter how they performed or what kind of attitude they displayed, any gestures of provocation would only yield indifference.

Qing Shui also knew why these powerful men could keep their cool despite his words of provocation. These people had had experience about a lot of things that regular people were incapable of understanding, as well as things that were forced upon them for no reason. Because of that, they gradually learnt to feel nothing of it, because they could solve these problems with a flick of a finger. Sometimes they were too lazy to solve them, because these problem were like small puddles – they could never become a strong wave.

“I will give you two options. The first one is to release Dongqing’s family, and they will never have anything to do with you all anymore. The second one is for me to force you to let them go.” Qing Shui waited until Hai Zhen had finished laughing before he began to speak again.

Qing Shui’s tone was calm, and it was not as ‘crazy’ as Hai Zhen had thought. On the other hand, his words were beginning to anger all of the Hai Clan members preset.

“Elder brother, why are you still talking to him? Kill him!”

“Uncle, let me kill him.” A handsome man with greying temples spoke out first.

“No one has ever dared talk to my clan like that. Young man, you are the first.” Hai Zhen laughed for a bit before he began to talk again.

“What a real fool. I didn’t know that you could still spout such words even after becoming the Tu Clan’s dog. You even had to destroy the happiness of a family after you were intimidated by the Luo Clan. The ancestors of the Hai Clan have had their dignity thrown away because of you. I don’t know how you will face them after you die. Stop pretending to talk with a graceful and superior attitude, as if you are really an angel. Your words are beginning to sound disgusting and awful.” Qing Shui couldn’t help but laugh.

These people were always spouting words without considering the consequences, and some of them didn’t even use their brains at all before they spoke. They could only blame their bad habits as a result of speaking like that for a long period of time.

Qing Shui’s words were the truth, and his words silenced Hai Zhen completely. Hai Zhen’s face was flushed with shame as he was at loss for words. After a few moments, he regained his composure and looked at Qing Shui in the eyes: “Young man, you are dead.”

“I will say it again: Release Dongqing’s family now.” Qing Shui remained calm as he looked directly at Hai Zhen.

“You….”

“Go to hell, you inbred!” The man who had addressed Hai Zhen as his uncle swung his sword at Qing Shui as he rushed towards him. He pointed his sword and aimed at Qing Shui’s neck.
