AST 1440 - Instantly Slaughtered An Individual, Retreat, A Resemblance To Dragon Head (1/2)

This old man did help him before in the past. Even though Qing Shui didn’t know what the reason for the old man’s decision was - that reason was known as ‘fate’ - he now felt that the reason wasn’t as simple as fate itself.

“You and your father look alike.”

Suddenly, his mother’s words echoed in his ears. It would go well if this old man wasn’t associated with the Soaring Dragon Organization. That would be lucky. However, this old man is currently the Supreme Custodian of the Soaring Dragon Organization - a powerful individual. Things would not go as simple as he previously thought.

Perhaps it was really simple in the past, but as of now, he was already a member of the Demon Lord Palace. It wasn’t that simple anymore.

In contrast to Qing Shui’s bewilderment, the old man seemed like he was slightly intoxicated. At first, Qing Shui was a nobody in his eyes, but now he felt that this young man was unfathomable.

In the past, the old man thought that Qing Shui bore a resemblance to ‘Dragon Head’, so regardless of the relation, he decided to help him. Despite that, he didn’t expect that Qing Shui would grow to this stage at a remarkable speed.

“Old man, it’s unexpected for us to meet each other again in this kind of situation. I see you are from the Soaring Dragon Organization. I will definitely not make the first move. Even if it’s for this stone coffin, I will allow you to make your move first. If you all can take it from me, it will be yours. What do you think of this proposition?” Qing Shui said after a brief consideration.

“You’ve grown stronger much too fast. I thought about the day when we would meet again, but I didn’t think it would be this quick and in this situation no less. How many people do you represent?” said Joyous Sage, smilingly.

Qing Shui looked at Demon Lord and she gave a nod. This gesture warmed Qing Shui’s heart in an instant.

“I can represent myself and the Demon Lord Palace.” said Qing Shui as he turned to look at the old man.

“It seems that both of us do not serve a common interest now. I’m saddened by this. I’ve seen a person who looks just like you. I wonder, do you have a relative out there?” Joyous Sage said calmly.

Qing Shui noticed that Joyous Sage definitely knew about something, otherwise he would not have said something like this with no reason.

Qing Shui seemed calm, yet Demon Lord seemed perplexed as she gazed at him. She realized something all of a sudden, then she turned to Qing Shui and said, “You look a lot like the Dragon Head of the Soaring Dragon Organization.”

“The Dragon Head of the Soaring Dragon Organization?”

Qing Shui asked in confusion.

“The leader of the Soaring Dragon Organization is also known as Dragon Head.” Demon Lord explained.

Qing Shui now felt that this Dragon Head should be the one he has been looking for.

“There are too many people who look alike. I’m from the Five Continents, so the probability of meeting someone I know here is slim.” Qing Shui didn’t want to implicate his relationship with that man at this moment.

This world highly values the virtue of filial piety. If that person was truly his father, then being an enemy with his own father would attract thoughtless remarks from other people.

He wasn’t afraid of gossips, but he wasn’t willing to bear this kind of reputation either.

“Hehe, Qing Shui, I feel like you’re being hostile to me. Beside the point, I think you should really meet with Dragon Head.” Joyous Sage retained a smile on his face. He was currently wearing extravagant clothing, which made him seemed way less celestial than the first time Qing Shui saw him.

“There will be chance for that. We will talk about it next time. Old man, please!”

Qing Shui quickly retreated with Demon Lord Hua Rumei and the others.

To be honest, he still felt a bit anguished for giving away this stone coffin. He had already received the treasure chest from the fifth palace. The last one was the stone coffin. He couldn’t bear the thought of giving it up, but for the sake of repaying the kindness of the old man who had once helped him, there was no choice.

“Since you are repaying his kindness, then hand over the rest of the treasure that you must have gotten from the other five palaces!” Just then, an old man beside Joyous Sage started to speak with a grin.

Qing Shui closed his eyes and replied with a smirk, “We’ve already eaten those few items. Also, the two palaces contained nothing. Moreover, I don’t owe you any favor. If you dare nag about it further, I don’t mind making you silent forever.”

“Hahaha, reckless and ignorant. I’m not afraid of you, not even the Demon Lord beside you. How can you be so arrogant for being a small soldier from the Demon Lord Palace. Come, just make me silent forever. I want to see how you can make me shut my mouth for eternity.”

Qing Shui narrowed his eyes, giving off a stare as sharp as a knife, to which the old man shuddered. Then, at that moment, he saw a tiny golden light flashed and vanished in an instant. Only a few people can see this tiny golden light, but it was no use, as no one could prevent the inevitable. Before a thought could emerge from the old man’s mind, it had already disappeared from his head.

Within less than the time to take a breath, the old man flopped to the ground lifelessly without making any sound.

This was the Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm that Qing Shui had used. This mighty power had surprised Qing Shui thoroughly, and it had been a long time since he used the silkworm. It was certainly powerful, but he didn’t expect to kill this old man so swiftly and with such ease.

The sudden change caused everyone to turn pale from fright. If Qing Shui was able to kill a powerful False God Cultivator that easily, then killing them would be much easier. Joyous Sage could not help but twitch. His face had become slightly pale as well.

“Please!”

Qing Shui gestured to the old man once more.

Everything went smoothly, as the other wicked forces dared not make any moves. Many of them were already treating him as if he was an evil pernicious star. Demon Lord and the two brothers from the Lu Clan could not help but trembled their lips. Now they have to put a lot of consideration in their matters concerning Qing Shui.

“Is this your favor to me?” Joyous Sage returned to normal as he glanced at Qing Shui.
