Chapter: 776 (1/2)

AST 776 – The Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death Against Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan (6)

With one move, the weakened old man had still managed to send Qing Shui flying, which made him spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Seven Star defence was still not worth anything before the old man who had been weakened.

That sparkling Dragon-Headed Cane gave Qing Shui tremendous pressure. He knew that it must be extremely powerful. He wasn’t sure if the old man had any other treasures on him.

Supreme Treasure… If this Dragon-Headed Cane was not a Supreme Treasure, then he definitely had other Supreme Treasures on him. How should he decide his next move in this battle?

Thunderbolt!

The Thunderous Beast’s speed with its unique traits had continually attacked the old man. However, Qing Shui knew that the Thunderous Beast couldn’t take a single blow from the old man either. After all, the beast was still weak.

Ning!

The Fire Bird’s black fireball was dissipated by the old man’s Dragon-Headed Cane.

Qing Shui frowned as he wiped off the blood from the corner of his lips. It was impossible to use brute force if he wanted to win against this old man. The Seven Star Armored Vest only had seven and a half minutes of use. After the time had passed, the tremendous powers of the old man would increase several times and Qing Shui might get killed instantly.

This was the result of the great difference in their powers. Before absolute power, everything was fleeting like rain and dust. The Thunderous Beast’s thunderbolt attack had still some effect, but its speed was too slow. It was a pity that the Violet Lightning Strike had already been used and it would take another day before he could use it again.

Another 24 hours… Qing Shui immediately called back the Thunderous Beast into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Qing Shui had known of it before but not thought of it until now. He could only take the risk and try it out now. Other than that, there’s no other way out.

The time inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal compared to the time in the real world was 200:1. This meant that one day in the real world was equivalent to 200 days inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Since the Thunderous Beast could only use the Thunderbolt once every 24 hours, then 12 hours inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal would be just a little less than 7.5 minutes, or 7.2 minutes to be more precise. The timing was just right for when the effect of the Seven Star Armored Vest was over.

Now, Qing Shui could only try to drag it out. He still had four Frosted Iron Balls and less than ten Coldsteel Needles which had been tempered with the five colored poison. He was having trouble even when he had used the Diamond Gigantic Elephant’s Instantaneous Diamond Evasion.

Thankfully, Qing Shui’s Primordial Flame Balls could also put his opponent into a bad spot. The old man’s battle experience and cultivation level was the strongest that Qing Shui had seen before, many things seemed to be useless against him.

With a wave of his sleeve, a Coldsteel Needle shot out. The Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan’s Old Ancestor was also on guard against Qing Shui’s hidden weapons. Those were lethal objects which caught people unaware. Therefore, he had been trying to keep a safe distance from Qing Shui.

Another thing that he had sensed was Qing Shui’s supporting techniques, especially those which could increase defence. All supporting defensive techniques had a restriction to them and could only be used once a day, for no longer than an hour. Usually, the duration would only be for about 30 minutes, with some could last for merely 15 minutes. However, this young man’s supporting techniques were about to reach an hour. Therefore, he knew that they were going to disappear soon.

When the time comes, he would be able to kill him with ease.

Ding!

Qing Shui’s Coldsteel Needle was blocked but he closed in towards the old man once again. With a wave of his hand, he retreated with great speed and shot out a Primordial Flame Ball. The old man also retreated quickly, Qing Shui’s attacks could not even touch him.

He now knew why the people from his clan were not this young man’s match, their gaps were too far. This young man not only looked powerful but more importantly, the things he knew were too many and each of them were all fatal.

Qing Shui left an escape route for himself and not just one. However, he wasn’t willing to take the risk easily. Unless he was forced with no other way out, he didn’t want to try those extreme methods.

Body Securing Talisman!

Lost effect…

It was a pity that he had yet to create any powerful Poison Talismans so far. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such bad shape. The old man took the opportunity to strike with his cane again. Qing Shui had no time to deploy any other methods at all, moreover, the old man had inner armor protecting his vital parts.

Art of Pursuing!

At the moment they came into contact, Qing Shui used the Art of Pursuing.

It decreased the opponent’s speed by 20% and also increased the burden placed by 20%.

At the old man’s level, 20% was sufficient to drag him down for quite a while. Earlier, he had already been weakened too much. If not for the fact that he had quite a few good items on him, he would have probably died in Qing Shui’s hands.

Pfft!

Qing Shui was once again sent flying, he couldn’t help but feel impressed by how tough his body was. He had been spurting blood many times from the start and while he was in great pain all over, he could still bear with it.

“Uncle, go for it… Ye Yan shouted out loudly in tears.

It was very quiet in the Martial God Street. Looking at the tenacious young man in the air, they were all taken aback. Ye Huyan’s hands were clenched together tightly, tears glistening in her eyes but none dropped.

Cang Wuya and the others had unknowingly clenched their fists together, tears flowed down their eyes and blood flowing out of their palms. If they were given the option of exchanging their lives for Qing Shui’s, they would gladly do it. Qing Shui cannot die.

In such a situation, they could only watch and feel anxious but to no avail. Seeing him covered in blood, they felt worse than anyone else. However, the faint smile on Qing Shui’s face had caused a gnawing pain in everyone’s heart.

What was supporting him to be holding on like this? Many people did not understand.
