Chapter: 1326 (1/2)
AST 1326 – Fighting against 70,000 sun worth of strength, First Level of the Nine Palace Laws
Somehow, Pang Shitu’s words still surprised Qing Shui. He didn’t know what this old man was plotting. The reason being, not only would the old man not benefit from anything if he won the bet, if Pang Clan lost, they would all lose face.
Suddenly, Qing Shui saw a trace of cold light deep within the huge eyes of the old man. That was killing intent!
Suddenly, Qing Shui came to understand something. Naturally, if they lost, Qing Shui would call the shots and if they won, they would rather not gain anything from it. There was also one thing which wasn’t mentioned openly and that was that they could kill Qing Shui, making things look like an accident and thereby absolving them from their promises..
The old man was someone who was very firm with his decision to kill his opponents. If he managed to kill them, he would help save his clan from future troubles. If he didn’t manage to do so, he would leave himself some methods to survive. So far, he had managed to do that.
Qing Shui smiled. After that, he spoke slowly, “Rest assured, if I lose, I will guarantee you a life. I don’t care who it is, even if it is someone who is at the brink of death, so long as he or she is someone you point out, I will help extend their life by at least a hundred years.
One should never give in despite how powerful your opponent might be. Besides, Qing Shui wasn’t confident that he would be able to beat his opponent. Hence, it would be best if he could leave a suspense in his opponent’s mind and let them hesitate for a while before laying their murderous hands on him.
Pang Shitu’s eyes twitched. He somehow still knew quite a lot about Qing Shui. Hence, whether he believed him or not, at least now his heart has moved a little. Qing Shui could feel that the opponent’s killing intent had just diminished a little.
Qing Shui had achieved his goal. He smiled and said once again, “Let’s begin! Swords do not have eyes, it’s best to be careful!”
“It’s destiny whether we die or remain alive today!” Pang Shitu took out an enormous lion headed sword while speaking.
This was a three meter long, 30cm wide, enormous fiery red colored lion headed sword. On the tip of a sword was a lion’s head which looked very realistic. The lion’s head somehow resembled something like a flame. It was giving off a fierce and malevolent aura.
Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation!
Qing Shui used the Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation. But he wasn’t holding any weapons. The reason being that he didn’t need to hold any.
Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation!
Pang Shitu also used his Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation. His was a set of fiery red colored armor. It seemed like it came as a set with the Lion Headed Sword. At the moment when he saw Qing Shui not holding any weapons, he proceeded to say, “Make your move, I won’t hold back.”
Qing Shui nodded his head. After that, he summoned the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant.
Vajra Subdues Demon!
Since Qing Shui had the initiative to attack, he immediately summoned the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant and used its weakening techniques. And at the moment when his opponent was still in shock, he immediately went on to use his Emperor’s Qi.
Emperor’s Qi!
At the same time when Qing Shui managed to weaken the old man, he was also quite stunned with his strength. Twenty thousand sun worth of the old man’s strength immediately got reduced by Qing Shui.
The old man actually had strength which was worth almost 70,000 sun.
Merely Pang Clan already had this kind of strength. Imagine Yehuang Clan and Puyang Clan. Was Pang Shitu considered the strongest within Pang Clan? How was the strength within Dancing Phoenix Continent distributed?
In just a blink of an eye, he already lost twenty thousand sun worth of strength. Even for someone like Pang Shitu, his countenance also drastically changed. He swung the enormous Lion Headed Sword in his hand. As he did so, a ray of red light flashed across the sword. Following which, an enormous flame lion appeared and rushed its way towards Qing Shui.
He still had roughly 50,000 sun worth of strength left. And there was also quite a huge gap between Qing Shui’s strength and his. Nevertheless, Qing Shui found it to be somewhat manageable once he weakened him. The reason being that Qing Shui was someone who had stepped through the great door to Heavenly Dao. Pang Shitu on the other hand, he might be strong but he was still someone who only had one of his feet on the threshold of the great door of Heavenly Dao.
Also, there was an 80% chance that the slash which the old man just performed was a Spirit Energy Attack. Hence, Qing Shui wasn’t worried. It was also unlucky for Pang Shitu that his martial technique was based on flame elements.
Nine Continents Mountain!
As soon as Qing Shui activated his consciousness, the Nine Continents Mountain immediately blocked the enormous Lion Dragon.
Bang!
The Nine Continents Mountain got cut in half. Right at this moment, Qing Shui swung his head and a silver platform appeared above Pang Shitu.
Seal of Xuantian!
Second Wave Seal of Xuantian! Reduce the opponent’s speed and reaction time by 20%.
During this time, Qing Shui’s Seal of Xuantian had already broken through up to the Second Wave.
Pa!
Go!
Qing Shui controlled the Nine Continents Mountain and initiated an attack on Pang Shitu with it.
Now, Pang Shitu also more or less knew a few of the strange things about Qing Shui. Originally, he thought that he would be able to crush the enormous stone with only one slash with his sword alone. But now, he already knew that this thing was a precious thing. He reversed his enormous Lion Headed Sword and once again cut towards the Nine Continents Mountain with the back of the sword. This time, he used even more force than before.
At the moment when he pushed it away, the old man moved. He immediately charged towards Qing Shui. His Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation was equipped almost all the way to his teeth. The Lion Headed Sword was spurting out flames which somewhat resembled that of blood.
As Qing Shui waved his hand, an enormous Primordial Flame Dragon Whip whipped towards Pang Shitu.
Nine Palace Steps!
The Formation Eye Stone helped boost the strength of a formation onefold. This also included the Nine Palace Steps. In an instant, Qing Shui appeared behind Pang Shitu. He was very nimbly whipping the Primordial Flame Dragon Whip at Pang Shitu.
Stepping into the great door of Heavenly Dao combined with the mysterious features of the Nine Palace Steps, Qing Shui was able to quite flexibly deal with opponents who were a few times stronger than himself.
The Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant was at a spot not far away from them. The moment Qing Shui moved, it also initiated its attacks.
Diamond Sword Qi!
This also helped reduce 20% of speed……
The Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant contained a bloodline which wasn’t inferior to that of the dragon species. And now, it has strength which surpassed ten thousand sun. Under the effect of Heaven Shaking Drums, it was still growing at a frightening speed during this time.
This was precisely the stage where the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant would soar up in strength. It was just like when humans went through puberty. Given time, provided that they consumed the right nutrients, their body would grow rapidly. It was an all-around upgrade.
Legend has it that the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant was a being which could one day surpass an enormous dragon when it grew. Given that the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant was strong enough, Qing Shui’s strength would increase. Water tended to spill when it was full. By then, it was likely that Qing Shui would break through to the False God Realm.
With this happening, Pang Shitu’s speed was significantly slower than that of Qing Shui’s. Without speed, basically, it would mean his chances of winning would be low unless his strength was more than ten times or even a hundred times greater than that of his opponents. If so, he would be able to perform acts similar to ‘dominating ten professional martial artists with brute force alone’, to the state of causing everything to be powerless in front of his absolute strength alone.
As of now, Pang Shitu was in a passive position. Despite this, he was still able to defend against Qing Shui’s attacks. Even though he might get hit occasionally from time to time. Unfortunately, Qing Shui’s attacks were unable to cause any damage to him. This made him let out a huge laugh.
“I will stand here and let you hit me as you wish. You still won’t be able to beat me.” Eventually, Pang Shitu decided that he would just stop moving. That powerful Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation of his had made him like a divine turtle.
“Do you really not plan to move at all?” Qing Shui smiled.
