Chapter: 920 (1/2)

AST 920 – Killing One, Knotty Problem, As If Killing A God

Hearing the old man’s words, Qing Shui had little reaction. He saw that his opponents seemed to be feeling pity. He tried to sense the old man’s cultivation level and felt that it should be slightly stronger than Tianyu Liangyi after he had attained a breakthrough.

Looking at them from afar, Qing Shui didn’t dare to be careless. The Big Dipper Sword’s Seven Star Armored Vest had already lost its effects when he attained a breakthrough to become a Martial Emperor. It basically didn’t have any other effects. At each cultivation realm, there would be the most suitable weapons and armors, known to be miraculous for that stage.

Even a Xiantian cultivator would find a Martial Emperor’s weapons useless, as he wouldn’t be able to withstand the flow of power from the weapon. The weapon which was good for Qing Shui now was the “Violet Star Thunder God” as well as items forged from the 10,000 Years Coldsteel.

Mu Qing was wearing a set of pure white mourning clothes, giving her an additional hint of otherworldly aura. She looked into the distance from the mourning hall with a worried look on her face. In fact, many people from the Mu Clan were also worried.

If anything were to happen to Qing Shui, then everything here would turn to ruin. If Qing Shui were to win, then the Mu Clan would have the majesty of a tiger which ascended the mountains. Just a single difference would end up with two extremely different results.

Many people from the city had come, each of them coming from some respectable or influential background. Right now, they were also quietly observing what was happening in the air some distance away. Qing Shui and the two old men from Sky Prison Sect were there.

After bringing out the Violet Star Thunder God, Qing Shui felt a lot more calm. A powerful aura started to seep out slowly from his body and it was then that the old men opposite could no longer see this young man as just a youngster. He was truly a strong opponent.

The sun at noon was bright and beautiful. It was already deep into the winter. The two old men were wearing violet colored clothes and the Sky Prison Sabres they were holding were violet colored as well. Under the sun, they exuded a violet colored glow and a sharp and eerie gleam.

“Lad, the two of us are at the age where our lives are going to end soon and we don’t have that many years to live. We don’t even know when was the last time we fought. We hope that you can let us enjoy ourselves in this fight. If you were to die today, all of them will have to die as well!” The sabre held by the old man in the lead let out a murky sound.

Qing Shui looked at that murky and lifeless pair of eyes. If it was not because of the bright color of his clothes and that powerful aura the old man had, Qing Shui would have thought that this guy was dead.

“Everyone in the Sky Prison Sect seems to be of such character. It’s but a matter of time before all of you are wiped out. It would be strange if this wasn’t the case.” The circulation of the blood in Qing Shui’s body grew increasingly faster, to the extent that even his face felt like there was a congestion of blood.

“Lad, if we were to be agitated by a youngster like you even though we’ve lived to this age, then there’s no point in us continuing to live on. We might as well knock ourselves to death. Today, you’ll only be able to lead the Mu Clan to prosperity after killing us with your own capabilities,” the old man with a burly physique said gradually.

The other slightly hunchbacked old man didn’t say a word right from the beginning. Mu Clan’s old man had told him that this old man was deaf and mute.

Qing Shui found it very strange. He hadn’t expected that there would be people of this cultivation level who could still be deaf and mute. He shouldn’t have been born in this state. However, he shouldn’t be taking this stuff into consideration. What that was most important to him right now was for him to wipe out these two old monsters.

“Let’s start. It’s useless to be talking so much.” The old man shook his sabre and rose up from the Wolf-Headed Jadewater Hawk. The other old man rose up as well and stood not far away from the first old man.

Qing Shui held onto his Violet Star Thunder God. He hadn’t expected these two old men to be shameless enough to fight two against one right from the start. Although he had expected this to be the end result eventually, he still felt that it was a knotty problem.

It was because he would suffer from great limitations.

However, this was a battle that he would still have to fight. And since the fight was inevitable, there was no need to have any dilly dallying.

Nine Palace Steps!

Qing Shui’s silhouette flashed and the amazing Nine Palace Steps was unleashed. This was the primary way he could keep himself safe.

Qing Shui’s movement caused the eyes of both old men to light up and they forced themselves to come to a stop. However, they still quickly dashed up and consecutively attacked Qing Shui with the two violet colored Sky Prison Sabres.

Having worked together for many years, their combination could be said to be perfect.

After a few rounds of sparring, Qing Shui felt that it was hard for him to utilize some of his killing techniques. If not for the fact that he had his Nine Palace Steps to rely on, he wouldn’t have been able to stand up to them.

The metal clanks in the air rang out consecutively, creating countless black holes which were like black lumps of air. Everyone else was watching this scene from afar.

Mu Qing’s fist clenched tightly. She was more nervous than any other person from the Mu Clan. All of the Mu Clan’s lives were connected to Qing Shui. If Qing Shui were to fail, then the entire Mu Clan would be doomed.

After exchanging tens of moves, Qing Shui knew that his opponents had not gone all out. The same went for him. Use the best steel to make the blade [1]. One’s killer move should be used at the most appropriate time in order to be called a killer move.

Weaken!

Fiery Golden Eyes, Emperor’s Qi and Descending Heavens Talisman!

He also called out the Diamond Gigantic Elephant midway just to use the Vajra Subdues Demons!

After a series of weakening effects, the old men’s abilities were brought down to be at about 1,200 stars while Qing Shui’s strength was around 1,100 stars. However, Qing Shui could make it up with the Nine Palace Steps in terms of his speed.

If he were to be dealing with just one of the old men, it would be very simple. However, the result of one plus one was usually not two. It could even possibly exceed three. With the great coordination between these two old men, there was simply no chance for him to unleash any killer moves.

Another thing was that the two old men seemed to be giving it their all, not caring even if both sides were to suffer heavy casualties. This also created a huge problem for Qing Shui. If only one of them was going all out, then he might still be able to find a loophole. However, when two highly coordinated people were going all out against one opponent, that opponent would be in a fix.

Treading on seven stars, Qing Shui’s Violet Star Thunder God blocked the deaf and mute old man’s Sky Prison Sabre. Retreating while utilizing the impact, Qing Shui then waved his hand to call out the Five-Headed Demonic Spider.

Heavenly Talisman!

Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman!

He quickly slapped the two talismans on the Five-Headed Demonic Spider while it covered the two old men who were charging over with its Corrosive Poison Web. The two old monsters from Sky Prison Sect quickly retreated. Even they didn’t dare to come into contact with such a web easily.

It would be good if they had hesitations. Qing Shui’s mind spun very quickly. He needed to separate the two old men. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to win. He held the Violet Star Thunder God in one hand while holding a 10,000 Years Frosted Iron Ball with the other.
