Chapter: 738 (1/2)

AST 738 – Ancient Thunderbolt Spear, The Clever Uses of Crystal Cards

“I’m considered half a Poison Master as well as half an Alchemist. The Mind Replenishing Pill that the person took out before has no effect against this poison.” Qing Shui said slowly as he took out the Thunder God and the Big Dipper Sword.

“You actually managed to recognize my Mind Replenishing Pill. It seems like you’re really an Alchemist.” The elegant old man next to the old man in yellow gown looked at Qing Shui and slowly enunciated every word with a powerful voice.

There were ten more people!

Qing Shui didn’t say anything. He was thinking about how he should fight the battle. His strength had already been totally raised and he had also used the Heavenly Talismans on himself.

He casually took out a whole lot of Heavenly Talismans and tossed them to them.

“Talisman master?”Zuoshi Ziyan muttered to himself in doubt.

Qing Shui heard it. But he didn’t say anything. The Descending Heavens Talisman immediately reduced the old man’s strength by almost eight hundred countries. This made him unsure whether he should feel happy or upset.

He was happy for being able to reduce it by so much but at the same time also upset that it was only possible when his opponent possessed strength that reached a certain frightening extent. He shook his head and summoned the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, thinking it would be better if he initiated the first move.

Vajra Subdues Demons!

Peng!

Qing Shui was relieved that the Vajra Subdues Demons was a success. It seemed that even though the Diamond Gigantic Elephant could only weaken the opponent’s strength by 10%, it was unavoidable even for an elderly man with strength of four stars.

In a short while, the old man’s strength was reduced by almost three thousand nine hundred countries. Even Zhuoshi Ziyan was shocked by it despite having formidable strength. He finally understood why his own clan members were killed. He waved his hand and a long spear appeared in his hand.

The barrel of the spear looked like it was made of ancient woods tangling together whereas the tip of the sword resembled electricity and thunder. It was the Thunderbolt! The Ancient Thunderbolt Spear refined with ancient magma fire.

Qing Shui’s heart thumped. This time, he was really in trouble. The original strength of the elderly man was already quite frightening to begin with. Now, he has gotten himself an Ancient Thunderbolt Spear. Legend has it that Thunderbolt’s attacks were often attached with thunder and electricity energy. He didn’t know if Thunder God was able to block it.

The other thing he was concerned about was whether the Thunderbolt would help to significantly raise the elderly man’s strength. But as he thought deeper into it, he let out a bitter smile on his face. The original function of the weapons were to help increase the strength of offensive attacks. Not to mention it was the Ancient Thunderbolt Spear he was looking at.

The old man charged towards Qing Shui like a roc that opened up its wings. The four meter long enormous ancient spear struck towards Qing Shui with a violet blue colored light. The spear caused a series of explosions as it passed through the air, it was truly shocking!”

Fiery Golden Eyes!

Emperor’s Qi!

7 Stars Armor!

Qing Shui’s raw defense was worth around three thousand and eight hundred countries. Under the effect of Diamond Protection, it would be worth around seven thousand and six hundred countries. Along with the 50% boost provided by Nature’s Energy and 40% provided from both Immovable Mountains and Heavenly Talisman, Qing Shui’s achieved thirteen thousand and seven hundred countries of defensive strength. Additionally, the Thunder God also helped him boost it by one fold and under the state of Seven Stars Armour, it once again multiplied by a fold. However, the effect would only last for half an hour.

His defensive strength could temporarily be boosted up to slightly more than five stars.

Even Qing Shui himself was stunned by it. It was as if he only realized how powerful it was to dual-wield. All along, he had felt it unnecessary to wield both a sword and a hammer at the same time. Not only did it look weird, the two weapons weren’t really a match for each other either. This was also Qing Shui’s last resort because he ran out of ideas. He never thought that it would be so powerful.

Even the people opposite of Qing Shui were shocked when they saw him holding a long sword in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand. Furthermore, he also looked really strange, as though he was a blacksmith……

They might even believe Qing Shui if he was to tell them that he was also partly a blacksmith.

Bang!

Even though Qing Shui has significantly weakened the elderly men. They still managed to blow Qing Shui away with their attacks. Furthermore, the technique which Qing Shui used was Ten Thousand Great Thunderbolt. Unfortunately, none of them was paralyzed by it.

The old man watched Qing Shui as he got blown away by the attack. Even though the corner of Qing Shui’s mouth started trickle out blood, he wasn’t really heavily injured by it. A gleam of light flashed across Qing Shui’s eyes as he once again charged himself towards Qing Shui.

He was so fast that Qing Shui could only block him with his Thunder God. At the same time, he also used the Big Dipper Sword to protect the vital parts of his body.

The difference in strength between Qing Shui and the elderly man was too large. The Thunderbolt had already made up for the amount of strength that got reduced previously. In fact, it felt like there was an increase to it. His attack wasn’t sufficient to go against his opponent and even though he possessed formidable defense, he would still die if he got hit in the fragile parts of his body.

His opponent’s speed was too fast. Qing Shui was already sweating all over his back just after a few clashes. If it wasn’t for the accurate judgement of his spiritual sense, he would most likely have been dead by now.

Qing Shui, who found an opening, quickly swallowed down the Agility-Enhancing Fruit and Gale Pellet and received a one fold boost to his speed. Only after this did he feel a bit better. Despite this, he could only barely resist against it.

Having agility was equal to having strength. With absolute speed, the opponent wouldn’t be able to do anything no matter how strong they were. Not to mention his opponent didn’t only have great speed, he was also at an absolute advantage.

At this rate, Qing Shui would definitely lose the match. He had no time to use other techniques and was short of offensive techniques to use against the old man. If the other nine people decided to make their moves as well, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Bang-Bang……

Qing Shui got hit in the chest by accident. Despite having formidable defensive strength, he still spat out blood from the attack. But because Qing Shui’s powerful body was recovering on its own, Qing Shui didn’t feel that it was such a big deal.

Agility!

Qing Shui never thought that there would be a day when he craved so much for speed. The Cloud Mist Steps had been used by Qing Shui to its limit. However, the gap between their strengths was still too big. Furthermore, Qing Shui felt that his opponent cultivated some kind of techniques which could help raise one’s speed. Or else, he wouldn’t have just been able to barely stand up against him after using the Nine Continent’s Boots, Gale Pellet, Agility-Enhancing Fruit and so on.
