Chapter: 1118 (1/2)

AST 1118 – Mutual Destruction, Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm, Close Call Between Life and Death

Unknowingly, about half of the 15 minutes had already passed. However, Qing Shui felt as if a very long time had already gone by. He didn’t dare to let this Golden Ni Lion get close to him and thus he had brought out all of his best battle techniques without any hesitation to entertain it.

Four Phases Formation!

Qing Shui went into the Four Phases Formation with his three demonic beasts. Qing Shui stood at the Vermilion Bird’s position which would allow his spirit energy attacks to increase a little in prowess.

The Nine Continents Mountain continued to smash down on the Golden Ni Lion from above but the effect wasn’t great. However, Qing Shui’s aim was to create disturbances and to infuriate the Golden Ni Lion, causing it to have the thoughts of destroying the Nine Continents Mountain. This would allow him to buy some time.

Roar!

The Golden Ni Lion let out a deafening roar, exuding a golden light that almost seemed material. Even the Nine Continents Mountain was pushed away and some unfortunate people who came into contact with the light disappeared completely. This caused many more people to attempt to run for their lives. However, this time around, the Golden Ni Lion didn’t give chase but merely opened its mouth to spew out a sphere of light that was as brilliant as the sun and the moon towards Qing Shui.

A surge of formless power came towards Qing Shui, giving him the feeling of being entangled by spider webs. Qing Shui’s heart clenched. In the spur of the moment, he wanted to try if the Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring could help him escape from the restrictive power.

300 meters!

Thankfully, Qing Shui happy could still get out from the confinement of the surge of power. This made him happy. It should be that the Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring could be used under a free state. If one was bound or trapped by some unique items, they wouldn’t be able to use it. For example, when bound by the Demon Binding Ropes or pressed down by a demonic beast… Another prerequisite was that one’s consciousness must not be controlled and the person must be alive.

Primordial Flame Whip, Primordial Flame Dragon Drill!

Although these attacks could buy him some time as well, it seemed that they couldn’t deal much damage to the Golden Ni Lion. It didn’t have much time left, but Qing Shui couldn’t afford to be careless. There were the ladies behind him and Qing Shui had already told them that they must constantly be ready to use the Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring.

Just as Qing Shui let his guard down a little, the Golden Ni Lion once again spewed out a fine golden light toward him, striking Qing Shui’s in a flash.

No reaction at all!

Suddenly, Qing Shui felt that his reactions were much slower. This was a constraining power, and it seemed to only target one’s Sacred Jade Divine Stone. Qing Shui was about to use the Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring and although he could use it with just a thought, it still required some time. For example, it depended on whether one was thinking about reaching exactly at 200 meters away or further off.

However, Qing Shui couldn’t afford this amount of time before the huge golden figure pounced toward him, quick as lightning.

Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm!

A hint of a golden light spot flickered on Qing Shui’s chest and it shot out towards the Golden Ni Lion’s head. It was so fast that no one had seen it. If it wasn’t for his connection with the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm, he probably wouldn’t be able to detect it either.

Although the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm was powerful, the Golden Ni Lion was much too big. It would take some time for this Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm to kill it based on its size alone. Moreover, there was also the question of whether it would be able to kill it.

It’s huge claw slapped down and Qing Shui instinctively crossed his hands. A faint layer of golden light appeared.

Roar!

Boom!

Qing Shui was sent flying away. It felt as if his body had fallen apart as he spewed out fresh blood. However, he noticed that the Golden Ni Lion seemed to appear a little despondent as it stayed where it was and trembled. It looked completely different from what it had looked like earlier and was roaring out in agony, slapping its two huge paws on its head.

“Something’s not right!”

Qing Shui was puzzled. Even if the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm had an effect, the attack from the Golden Ni Lion shouldn’t be like this. Qing Shui should have been instantly killed…

Lightning Recovery!

Qing Shui looked at the Thunderous Beast that was also in a similarly despondent state and was using its Lightning Recovery. Its injuries immediately recovered by a lot.

In the most crucial moment, the Thunderous Beast had saved Qing Shui by using the battle technique, Mutual Destruction.

Mutual Destruction: Using 80% of its injuries in exchange for 80% of the target’s injuries. It attacks the opponent with a terrifying power and both parties would suffer damage. Mutual Destruction cannot instantly take the opponent’s life.

It could only be used once a month!

In a situation where the difference in strength was tremendous, the success rate was very low!

However, this time around, it was a success. One reason for the success was the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm. That short instant of immense pain created a great gap in the Golden Ni Lion’s mental state, allowing the Thunderous Beast’s Mutual Destruction to succeed.

Qing Shui was really very lucky and it was as if he was destined to not die here. The heavy injury dealt in that moment caused the Golden Ni Lion’s attacks to decrease in prowess and Qing Shui managed to survive the ordeal.

80% injuries could be considered quite serious and it would be hard to save it. Moreover, this Golden Ni Lion was seriously injured to begin with and Beitang Yiyao had said that it had only 15 minutes left to live.

To think that Qing Shui still suffered such a serious injury despite his Nine Yang Golden Body being at the small success stage. It was at this moment that Qing Shui discovered the advantage of the Nine Yang Golden Body. It allowed his bones to be terrifying strong and gave him a great resistance against attacks. And right now, a mysterious power was coming out from his bones, fixing up his physical injuries.
