Chapter: 1198 (1/2)
AST 1198 – Gold Needle Acupuncture. Raging Force of Blood. Danger
Had it been before his increase in strength, Qing Shui would not have dared to bring the girl along. But now, since it had already been raised, he felt that he was able to cope with it. After all, if he really couldn’t, he could have just ran for his life right away.
He brought the girl and followed the crowd into Rong City.
Looking from the outside, the atmosphere was murky, billowing smoke all about but nothing would happen if they went inside the city. This was the Scarlet Flame Formation. This kind of huge formation would only be dangerous at places where they actually existed. A lot of places weren’t really that dangerous.
Qing Shui felt that he specialized in formations. As he entered the area, he soon realized that the area was deserted. A lot of the areas within the city had already turned into ruins. Some places were even on fire.
There were only ones around were people who had just entered this place. No one from Scarlet Flame Region could be seen nearby. Nor were there any other people. But from time to time, quite a few corpses could be seen. Each of the corpses died in different kinds of ways. A lot of them were ordinary civilians.
“These barbarians! They don’t even show mercy to ordinary civilians! Ruthless! They better run away from me, because I won’t let any of them live!” Yan Yangchen shouted in rage. He sounded especially angry.
“Everybody, divide yourself into small groups and go separate ways. Get someone to watch your back. Take up your weapons and fight!” There was a bit of enchantment in the old man’s voice. This was because he witnessed some of the corpses of ordinary people.
Deep down, everyone actually had their own concept of justice. At least a normal person would have it. Hence, now, their fiery spirits had been ignited by what they have seen. It started with a few people, then ten and eventually it became even more people that proceeded forward. At this moment, the strength of quite a lot of people seemed to be increasing.
To be burning with anger, this was the power of blood!
Qing Shui’s blood was boiling even more vigorously. But he was strong, so he was able to control it. At this moment, it seemed like he had learned some new things about the control over the power of his blood.
Rage!
Only through rage, when one was seething with anger would they be able to light up the power of their blood and trigger their hidden potential. It was just like a young mother from his previous incarnation. When her few month old baby got kidnapped, she was able to experience a burst in energy and caught up to the motorcycle within a short period of time. The energy burst at that moment was beyond one’s understanding. And there was also another mother, when there was an earthquake, she used her weak and frail body to hold up the slab which dropped down. This was because her children were right below her.
These were all hidden potentials from deep down within a human’s body that were triggered. At that time, they were able to light up the power of their blood.
Violet Golden Bloodline… Qing Shui didn’t really know if he was considered as someone with Violet Golden Bloodline at the moment but there were Violet Golden Blood Threads in his body. It contained terrifying power.
“Let’s go!” Yan Yangchi led the group and gave a gesture. The group settled on a direction and made their way towards it.
Rong City wasn’t really that big. It was a small city near Scarlet Flame Region. Since it was nearby that area, a lot of the people here were people who came temporarily to gain some income. Once they did it, they would leave the city.
Scarlet Flame Region might be dangerous but places with high risk were often also accompanied by high rewards. Hence, there would be people entering Scarlet Flame Region every day. Rong City was a place for replenishment. Hence, the hotel, blacksmith store and shops here often earned a lot of profit.
If one was lucky, they might be able to work here for a few dozen years without anything happening. If they were unlucky, just like this time, those people who died were people that just came recently.
Two hundred li forward, this was a wide street. Silhouettes of humans could be seen showing up in front. All of them had dark red skin. There were about forty or fifty people. They had strong auras. As for their ages, it was not known.
Some of them even had blood stains on them. Without much thought, they were definitely people from Scarlet Flame Region.
“Make your move and kill them! Don’t kill the women, it’s rare to see such beauties. Once we’re done toying with them, we could still gain a lot of benefits by sending them into the sect,” a gloomy voice came through.
Qing Shui locked onto the person speaking with his spiritual sense. His body wasn’t that big but he was a man who looked like a wolf. At this moment, the person was already making their way here.
There were about ten people on Qing Shui’s side whereas the opponents had around forty to fifty in number.
However, their opponents weren’t that strong. Hence, in a nutshell, there wasn’t really much to worry about. There were only a few of them who were a bit stronger. The rest were not enough to scare Qing Shui and the group.
Yan Yangchen took the initiative and roared out loudly. With World Demolition Hammer in his hand, he charged forward. Qing Shui calculated the right timing and immediately took out the Big Dipper Sword.
Golden Sword!
He instantly murdered one of the people from Scarlet Flame Region.
Fresh blood could be seen spurting out. In just a short while, people from both sides got fired up. Especially Yan Yangchen who was taking the lead. He immediately struck with the huge hammer in his hand.
Yan Yangchi and the others were scared that something would happen to Yan Yangchen. They quickly charged forward.
Qing Shui was holding the girl while constantly attacking with his Big Dipper Sword. He used his Divine Force to protect the girl. The Nine Palace Orientation made him feel as if he was a fish that got back into water. He locked onto a few of the people with his spiritual sense. Especially the guy from before who was ruthless like a wolf.
Qing Shui could tell that the path he walked was the path of an assassin. Once given a chance, he would definitely strike with his sword and kill his enemy with one hit.
“Brother Leng, kill him. You guys are going on the same path. Killing him will bring you great benefit,” Qing Shui smiled as he told Yan Leng.
After Qing Shui defeated Tian Jiange, even the princes didn’t dare to look down on him. Everyone could tell that if given some time, he would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. In the future, whether it was one sect or one dynasty, he would have no need to even bat an eye at them.
For this kind of people, it was either become good friends with them, remain strangers forever, or kill them early on. Becoming enemies would only result in an endless stream of trouble.
Yan Leng bound himself to the thin man. Qing Shui on the other hand, wandered around the area. With the Big Dipper Sword in his hand, he would from time to time strip away lives.
