Chapter: 774 (1/2)
AST 774 – The Fight Of The Ultimate Life and Death Against The Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan (4)
“Elder sister, uncle has won again.” Ye Yan shouted excitedly while hugging her elder sister with a bright red complexion.
Ye Guyan was happy as well. As long as Qing Shui was alive, everything would be fine. She felt a sense of responsibility towards him or to be exact, she felt like she owed a great deal to him. If Qing Shui died right here and now, she would feel anguished. It didn’t help when she knew the reason he came to the Southern Viewing Continent – to obliterate the entire Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan, one of the strongest and influential clans amongst the supreme aristocratic clans.
“Old Ancestor, his demonic beasts are too incredible. Let me go and handle this kid.” Donggong Maisun’s grandfather, Donggong Nianyun, went up to the Old Ancestor of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan and requested to be allowed into the battle.
“Equip your Jade Dragon Battle Armor Set. The poison beast will not be much of a threat to you if you have that on. Go now.” The Old Ancestor of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan spoke in a usual calm manner.
‘Yes, grandfather!”
This time, Donggong Nianyun addressed the Old Ancestor as his grandfather. The Old Ancestor shifted in his seat and said: “Bring Congxing and a few men with you.”
Donggong Nianyun bowed once again and proceeded to lead four old men towards the battle. He then flew up and headed towards the sky to face Qing Shui.
“Haha, did you see that? This is the third time that the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan is sending out their men. They have already lost a total of ten members in this battle. Now that Donggong Nianyun is being sent to fight Qing Shui, things are looking real bad for this young fellow.” said a member from the audience, feeling anxious for Qing Shui’s life.
“Heh heh, a lot of people said that the young man would not stand a chance from the very beginning of the battle. But isn’t he still standing here all fine and dandy? The men from the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan, on the other hand, were all dead.” Another person quickly retaliated, unconvinced that Qing Shui would be defeated by the members of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan that easily.
“Donggong Nianyun is not a simple man. He is one of the top five strongest members in the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan. It will be difficult for Qing Shui to win this time.” replied the person who spoke earlier as he disregarded Qing Shui’s two-round winning streak.
“Jade Dragon Battle Armor Set?” Someone exclaimed in surprise.
“This set contains the Jade Dragon Battle Armor, Jade Dragon Battle Boots, Jade Dragon Battle Saber and four Jade Dragon Daggers. It is said that the armor set has a force that is extremely powerful in terms of both attack and defense. I’m not sure of the specifics though.” Another person explained with an expression of admiration for the armor set.
“I still think this young man will not lose that easily. He is too amazing, which makes people want him to win this battle so badly.” The previous man who retaliated for Qing Shui spoke out. Then he turned to look back at the sky, because the battle was starting again.
Screech!
Qing Shui quickly summoned his Fire Bird, and then the Jade Emperor Queen Bee and the Gold-Silver Colored Butterflies with a wave of his hand.
Everyone stared in bewilderment at Qing Shui’s actions. The demonic beasts he had summoned in the previous two battles had already given the impression that they were far superior to Qing Shui himself. However, with the sudden appearance of four extra demonic beasts, everyone could not help but be amazed at his formidable strength.
Donggong Nianyun was also surprised as he stared blankly at the demonic beasts surrounding Qing Shui. He wrinkled his forehead and made a deep frown. Normally, if it were other people who summoned these demonic beasts of Martial Saint level, he would not be bothered to concern himself about them. However, it was a different story for Qing Shui because of his capability at such a young age.
Qing Shui remained silent while swapping out his Violet Gold Divine Shield for his Big Dipper Sword.
The substitute of the shield for a sword left many exclaiming in shock, because a sword and a hammer was a weird combination for a martial warrior. Martial warriors would not give off such feelings except for a blacksmith, who would usually forge weapons while holding a hammer. Even if he really was a blacksmith, no one would believe him, because all they could see was the mannerism of a martial warrior.
“Did you really kill them?” asked the old fellow as he stared coldly at Qing Shui.
When Qing Shui was dueling with the late Donggong Taiqing yesterday, this old man was there spectating the fight below the arena. Today, however, he was standing above the arena, ready to fight Qing Shui. Even the old man didn’t expect that he would be fighting against this young lad one day.
“Who? Oh, you mean Donggong Maisun and his men?” Qing Shui gave a sly smile at the old man.
“I was a fool back then. I should have dealt with you right then and there. Because of you, our Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan is going on a regression of power.” said Donggong Nianyun as he gritted his teeth.
“Donggong Maisun came to ambush us at night after I had already challenged the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan to the Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death. Luckily I was able to discover them in time. He has completely thrown away the dignity of the Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan and ultimately, he is dead.” said Qing Shui, unconcerned of Donggong Maisun’s death.
“Kid, a slight mistake in my part has given you the privilege to act foolish and freely. I will definitely kill you today no matter what it takes to do so. You and your demonic beasts will not stand a chance in front of me.” Donggong Nianyuan spoke with a voice full of malice and hatred. The usual impervious expression on his face had changed, albeit a bit.
“You don’t have to say it like that. Today seems like a good day. I will send you off to the depths of hell personally.” Qing Shui wielded the Big Dipper Sword on his right hand, while the other hand was wielding the Thunder God.
“We will see about that.” The old man rushed towards Qing Shui as soon as he finished talking.
Heavenly Talisman!
Vajra Subdues Demons!
Fiery Golden Eyes!
Emperor’s Qi!
Poison Killer Sting!
Qing Shui reserved nothing and used whatever technique he had to weaken his opponents’ power. At the same time, the Gold-Silver Colored Butterflies surrounded themselves around Qing Shui while he stood on top of his Diamond Gigantic Elephant, promptly thinking of various ways to eliminate Donggong Nianyun.
Mighty Elephant Stomp!
Everything would turn to ash in the face of an absolute power. Even an old man such as Donggong Nianyuan was required to evade the formidable stomp as fast as he could, not wishing to turn himself into a pancake. Even if he could withstand the overbearing force of the stomp, he would never do it at the risk of overexerting himself.
