Chapter: 1073 (1/2)

AST 1073 – Finished, Killing, Low Grade Sacred Beast Pill

Buddha’s True Eyes!

Qing Shui used his Buddha’s True Eyes on the tall and burly old man. At the same time, he activated his Nine Palace Steps’ Reversal of Qiankun, switching their positions. He then used the Nine Palace Steps once again. This time around, his target was Old Fifth.

Although the tall and burly old man’s reaction was fast enough, when something like this occurred, there was bound to be a moment of reaction lapse. In a fight between experts, just a short moment could cause one to lose their life.

On the way, Qing Shui grabbed a 10,000 Years Frosted Iron Ball while the Thunderous Beast spewed out the Violet Thunder Chain Lightning.

This was the opportunity that Qing Shui had been waiting for. He swung his Big Dipper Sword and confined Old Fifth with the Sixth Waves of the Great Golden Buddha Palm. The Violet Thunder Chain Lightning also encompassed Old Fifth like a big net.

One of Old Fifth’s shoulders were crippled. In addition, he was struck by Thunderbolt for such a long period of time. Once this attack held him back, there was only one thing left for him—death.

Old Fifth could be said to have his entire body in a state of numbness and he was also injured. He was consumed in a state of terror and then everything quietened down. Qing Shui’s mind seemed to have calmed down now.

Once held back by the Thunderous Beast, if one didn’t have any special treasure to escape, they would end up in a terrible state. Old Fifth’s death caused one of the remaining three demonic beasts to run. It had already been on tenterhooks because of Qing Shui’s Soulshake Bell and had only stayed because Old Fifth was its master. However, after seeing Old Fifth’s death, it just made its escape.

The whole battlefield seemed to have suddenly become irreversible, leaving only the tall and burly old man. When Qing Shui saw the old man’s gaze, he knew that the latter no longer had any will to fight. However, Qing Shui didn’t plan on letting him escape.

Nine Palace Steps, So Close Yet Worlds Apart!

Divinity Protection!

Before using Divinity Protection, Qing Shui let out the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm in his Central Palace Blood Essence Pool. Qing Shui’s action caused the old man to be frightened and he had no choice but to quickly take action. He now didn’t have any more hesitations but only endless fury.

Die! Sacrificial Sabre Lion King Slash!

The huge pitch black battle sabre seemed as if it was alive, and a faint image of a ferocious black lion appeared atop it. It exuded a cold and corrosive power as it slashed toward Qing Shui with eerie-looking black flames.

This attack caused the surroundings to be encompassed by darkness. The powerful confinement power it had even caused Qing Shui to feel a great impact.

Nature Energy, State of Immovable as Mountains!

Qing Shui circulated these two skills to their limits and retreated. He wasn’t very worried since he still had the Divinity Protection and the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm had already entered his opponent’s body.

Boom!

The ‘Black Lion King Sabre’ slashed down towards Qing Shui but was reflected by a faint golden glow. However, Qing Shui was still sent flying backward while the old man grabbed his head and howled in agony.

The Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm was extremely vicious, killing without any notice. As long as it attacked from a very close distance, the chances of it failing wouldn’t be high. This was unless the opponent’s body was really indestructible or that his spirit energy was so high that he could kill the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm in his body.

Qing Shui had successfully fended off the attack by the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm once, and that was also when he had managed to subdue it. The reason he had succeeded was because of his Yin-Yang Image as well as the activation of the Central Palace Blood Essence Pool. Most importantly, the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm’s strength right now was not comparable to what it was back then.

The agonized cry stopped very quickly and the tall and burly old man, Old Fourth, fell to the ground. Qing Shui walked up to him to recall the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm. Old Fourth’s head was crushed and now, Qing Shui felt very relaxed. He also increasingly felt that this trump card was very useful.

He turned to look at the Thunderous Beast which was still covered in a brilliant violet aura. It still had its Lion King’s Ridge activated and its recovery abilities were ten times as fast as usual. Qing Shui kept the Thunderous Beast. The two consecutive Violet Lightning Strikes could kill an old man from the Lion King’s Ridge like this instantly.

Life was very fragile. These three old men would be a fearful existence no matter where they went but they were all laid to rest here. Power. Only power decided everything. In this world where power was revered, if one didn’t have any power, they would be nothing.

Qing Shui retrieved their Interspatial Silk Sachets and weapons, then waved his hand to ‘incremate’ their corpses with primordial flames. When one was going around in this world, they must be prepared for things like this.

After everything was taken care of, Qing Shui used the Nine Continents Steps to leave. He knew that Lion King’s Ridge would know of the three old men’s death very soon but none of their belongings were left behind. In the end, they would only be able to find out that the three old men had died but it should be hard to find out how they died. Moreover, since they were in the Ancient Ruins, it was even harder to determine how they had died.

Not long after Qing Shui left, over ten people appeared at the place. There were people from Lion King’s Ridge as well as some other people. The person in the lead was an old man dressed in silver clothes, equally tall and burly. His beard and hair were all silvery white and were a foot long. However, he exuded a mysterious aura.

“There are traces of a battle lingering here. It’s likely that Old Fourth, Old Fifth, and Old Sixth are no longer alive.”

The silver clothed old man stood in the middle of the place where the fight had occurred. He closed his eyes and slowly spoke with a low voice. It was hard to tell that there were any emotional fluctuations from him.

“Third Brother, how is this possible? They were together… Could it be that they had encountered some ancient beasts? But there’s none here.” An old man looked at the silver clothed old man and said in astonishment.
