Chapter: 739 (1/2)

AST 739 – A Risky Kill, Four Folds of Offensive Strength

Including Zuoshi Yun, there were seven people left in the distance. Each and every one of them looked really pale. Other than Zuoshi Yun, the other six people were slowly surrounding Qing Shui. Unfortunately, they were all filled with anxiety.

The way things turned out had totally exceeded their expectations. Anyone knew that once a person achieved great rank, all his friends family would share their fame. The young man in front of them, he was someone who was about to attain that.

“It’d have been great if he is someone from Zuoshi Clan.” Zuoshi Ziyan looked at Qing Shui before moving on to look at the pale Zuoshi Yun. When compared to him, the geniuses from Zuoshi Clan weren’t worth even a pair of sandals.

Weaken, weaken……

Qing Shui weakened all six of the people that were charging towards him in a row. The remaining people all had abilities that were worth around two stars, so when they got further weakened by him, their abilities became worth less than a star and a half.

Ming!

Qing Shui summoned the Fire Bird and instantly went into the state of the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens. He breathed out an intense black flame and made both the Fire Bird and Diamond Gigantic Elephant charge towards them, one from above, the other bellow.

Mighty Elephant Stomp!

Hell’s Inferno!

The Gold-Silver Colored Butterfly and Jade Emperor Queen Bee were also summoned out by him. But he made them hang on to either the Fire Bird or the Diamond Gigantic Elephant as they continuously initiated their unique attacks at the people from Zhuoshi Clan.

Qing Shui on the other hand, faced off against Zuoshi Ziyan. The odds of the fight were slowly tipping towards Qing Shui.

“Did you regret it?” Qing Shui once again clashed against Zuoshi Ziyan’s. The effect of damage increase once again emerged and he right away pushed back his opponent. In between, Qing Shui continuously peppered Zuoshi Ziyan with his Hidden Weapons. Even the people who were fighting in the distance got hurt by them. Or else, the Fire Bird and Diamond Gigantic Elephant would not be able to hold their ground against them.

If the enemies drew closer, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant would use the Mighty Elephant Stomp.

At the beginning, one of the old men from Zuoshi Clan rapidly made his way to the front but very unfortunately, he got petrified by the Gold-Silver Colored Butterfly and immediately got torn apart by the Mighty Elephant Stomp of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.

This instilled a kind of fear in the other five people, causing them to not dare to get too close to Qing Shui. Qing Shui would also shoot out a Hidden Weapon with poison from time to time, making him impossible to defend against. Once it hit the target, the fate that awaited the target would only be death.

“Zuoshi Ao, tell me, do you think we will die today?” One of the old men asked.

For people from Zuoshi Clan, even if it had been a guard looking after the gate, he would be looked up upon by other people. No matter where they went, they would be respected by other people. Who would have expected a day to come where they were pushed back like this? Furthermore, it was because of a young man.

“Zuoshi Yanlang, don’t ask questions like this. I’m feeling really nervous deep down. I haven’t lived long enough to die.” The old man said while letting out a sigh.

“Let’s finish of these two Demonic beasts first, I refuse to die under the feet of these two Demonic beasts.”

“You two go from the back, you go from the left while the two of us attack it from the front.” Zhuoshi Ao looked at both the Fire Bird and Diamond Gigantic Elephant and ordered the other four men.

“Alright!

……

Art of Pursuing!

Qing Shui waited until this moment to use the most powerful supplementary technique. The Art of Pursuing caused Zhuoshi Ziyan’s speed to drop down.

Binding Talisman!

Binding Talisman!

Qing Shui would take some time to throw out the Binding Talisman. He was waiting for the right moment to kill the elderly men. There were only two methods to do so, it’s either he kill them with poison or kill them by force.

Even though poisons were reliable, his opponent was holding the powerful Thunderbolt at the moment. Hence, it would be very difficult for his Hidden Weapons to work. The Shadowless Needle could only be used at short range and it also needed time to reload. However, this time was already enough for the enemies to kill him a few times.

As for the Frosted Iron Balls, the enemy could block it with his long weapons. Even the Primordial Flames could also be blocked by the opponent. Hence, he could only counter his opponent with force if he wanted to kill him. But now, Qing Shui would only pose a threat to his enemy if he was under the effect of Damage Increase. If he really wanted to kill his enemy, he would need to increase his offensive strength significantly for one more time.

On their next clash, Qing Shui used a technique which he had never used before.

Critical Damage!

Unfortunately, it could only cause a bit of damage to the enemy.

But more often, Qing Shui would be blown backwards by Zuoshi Ziyan. His body had already long been stained by the blood which flowed out from the corner of his mouth. It was just that the more they clashed, the more confident he looked.

This was also one of the things that motivated the people from Zhuoshi Clan to continue battling.

“Young man, you only managed to push me back once. Even though your body was really tough, you still lacked in offensive strength. What’s the point in holding on? Let me help end your pain.” Zuoshi Ziyan said as he pushed back Qing Shui once again.

Qing Shui spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Actually, he was also feeling a bit helpless now. But Qing Shui had lefthimself a path of retreat. Once the effect of the Skywolf Crystal Card disappeared, he would leave. The worst outcome was just for him to put away the Demonic Beasts and escape with Nine Continents Steps Effect.

The effect of the crystal card could still last for about seven minutes.

Qing Shui was waiting for the right moment. If he managed to make it in time, he would be able to end the fight today. Qing Shui felt the familiar strength emerging and spreading out around his body.

Critical Damage!

He left a small wound on Zuoshi Ziyan’s body. At the moment, Qing Shui was holding a hammer in his left hand and the Big Dipper Sword in the other. After all, the knowledge contained in was a bit more profound.

The Combination Sword Technique could also help raise a bit of offensive strength.
