Chapter: 768 (1/2)

AST 768 – Four Moves Combination Sword Technique, Profound Grade

The lunch this time lasted much longer than before because most of them were not in the mood to eat, they felt as if that eating had became a chore. Qing Shui ate slowly too, while he urged the others to eat from time to time.

“Grandpa Feng, do you think that anyone from the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan will come to ambush us tonight?” Ye Guyan who didn’t really eat much looked at Old Man Feng.

“Normally, they won’t. But it’s very hard to say sometimes. The opponents may strike tonight for the sake of their safety tomorrow. So we must stay alert,” Old Man Feng chuckled.

“Grandpa Feng, I would like to participate in the Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death this time,” Ye Guyan looked at Qing Shui before turning towards Old Man Feng.

“Girl, it wouldn’t make much of a difference even if you joined.” The old man sighed.

“Miss Ye, I have already said that I am going to participate alone. Thank you for your kindness though.” Qing Shui said with a smile. He really never considered letting someone else to take the stage.

“If you were to go alone, what will happen if there are five opponents from their side?” Ye Guyan asked worriedly. Regardless of everything, the Ye Clan was already involved with Qing Shui now.

She didn’t blame him either. Just as what he had said, he didn’t know the Ye Clan and besides, the Ye Clan couldn’t help him much in this matter so she had chose to believe in Qing Shui. She still feel indebted to him because he had saved her younger sister.

“I have my ways, trust me. Just like what senior had said, you won’t be able to help much even if you go. On top of that, I will also have to look after you,” Qing Shui laughed. He had a relaxed look and didn’t seem to be under too much pressure.

“If you really think you can eliminate the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan all by yourself, then why did you choose to use this method? You could have confront them directly and eliminate them,” Ye Guyan was still not convinced that Qing Shui was capable of taking care of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan all by himself.

“That’s because this is the Southern Viewing Continent. If we were at the Greencloud Continent, I would have done it directly. I am totally unfamiliar with the people and place here and I don’t know anything. A clan like the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan would normally be a tyrant and seem to have a strong root somewhere. To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to take on the entire Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan all by myself,” he laughed bitterly. More than the fact that they had came all the way here, for them to be at this level so soon was out of his expectation.

“Since you don’t have any confidence to take on the entire Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan, why did you still challenge them to the Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death?” Ye Guyan looked at Qing Shui in disbelief. She expected Qing Shui to assure her that him alone was more than enough to take care of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan. She didn’t expect that he would say something so uncertain.

“It’s exactly because I don’t have the confidence to take on the entire Eastern Palace Aristocrat Palace. I decided to challenge them to this Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death because they are only allowed to send out five people at most to the fight. I still have some confidence in killing five people,” Qing Shui chuckled to Ye Guyan.

“I don’t really know what to say to you right now. You need to show me the strength that can convince me.” Ye Guyan hesitated for awhile before she gave Qing Shui a stubborn look.

She had no idea why she was worried for him, was it for the sake of the entire Ye Clan or because she felt obligated to repay him for saving her younger sister. But she really wished more than anyone for Qing Shui to claim his victory this time. Then again, she knew that the possibility of a complete victory was slim, or even non-existent.

“Does the Ten Thousand Poisonous Violet Sable count?” Qing Shui pondered for a moment before he asked Ye Guyan.

“The Ten Thousand Poisonous Violet Sable of yours is indeed formidable and extremely poisonous. But just relying on it alone is far from enough.”

“What if I have other killing techniques?” Qing Shui thought for awhile before he asked again. He could tell that if he couldn’t assure Ye Guyan today, even fighting alone would be an issue.

“Can you show me?” Ye Guyan pressed. Although these were taboos to martial cultivators, Ye Guyan couldn’t afford to bother about it so much during this special circumstances.

“Sure!” Qing Shui didn’t really mind too. Anyway, he only needed to show a little of it.

He showed her the Fiery Golden Eyes, followed by his Emperor’s Qi!

Ye Guyan’s supplementary skills were quite decent. A strong person would normally have strong supplementary skills, and also the equipments they wore were more powerful. Just like how Qing Shui’s Thunder God was stronger than any of his supplementary skills, at least for now.

Speaking of equipments, he recalled about the Jade-Armored Immortal Garb that Donggong Taiqing had worn along with those shoes and poison fang. He felt a bit of regret that he didn’t get his hands on them.

With the reduction effects of both the Fiery Golden Eyes and the Emperor’s Qi, Ye Guyan’s initial strength of three countries was reduced to roughly about two countries.
