AST 1505 - One Against Four, Red-Robed Old Man, Kill (1/2)

Qing Shui stood in the air. Below was a jumble of chaos. He was waiting, waiting for the Se Clan to send their last member. But when the last member of Se Clan was sent out, the spectators below were all stunned for a moment before they started cursing.

The Se Clan actually sent out four people for the third and final round…

“The Se Clan is too shameless. Why don’t they just sent the entire clan up?”

“That’s right. It was fine that they fought him by taking turns. Yet now at the last round, they actually so openly sent a team of four up there?”

“You can’t put it this way, before this the rules didn’t state that it should be one against one. The Imperial Cuisine Hall can jolly well sent up a few more experts if they want to.”

“What do you mean the rules didn’t state? You think the miraculous doctor really don’t have any backup to call for? If he wanted to, it’s too easy for him to summon a number of experts.”

……

Actually, the Se Clan’s decision made Qing Shui surprised as well. They actually sent up four experts in such a brazen manner. However, he wasn’t worried as he stared at these four old man.

These four old men all looked extremely calm, their state of hearts unaffected by the discussion earlier. When they stood before Qing Shui, the most senior one among the four stepped out.

This old man appeared truly ancient, he was clad in red robes and had a crimson blood staff in his hands.

“Young man, do you mind playing a little with us four old monsters?” The leading old man’s eyes gleamed with light.

“Old man, I don’t understand why you all choose to do this. Could it be that my strength is worthy of your four joining forces? Any one of you alone is stronger compared to me individually.” Qing Shui was very curious. His expression was calm as well.

“Your strength looks like it’s below us yet there’s an unknown power which you can activate that boosts your combat prowess far above your raw physical strength. Your expression tells me that you think nothing of us. And even I feel our chances of losing is greater than winning.” The old man sighed.

His voice wasn’t loud but everyone could heard it. Those who heard it were all instantly stunned. This old man was the red-robed old ancestor of the Se Clan.

The red-robed old ancestor of the Se Clan was a peak existence in the Linhai City. Usually, he wouldn’t involve himself in matters of the Se Clan but now he appeared and had such a high estimation for Qing Shui’s ability and even came with three others to fight him? What was going on?

“Old man, you given me such a big hat to fill. I wonder if you would try to kill me if there’s an opportunity to do so in the battle later.” Qing Shui smiled lightly.

Qing Shui wasn’t very clear of all the old men’s intentions but he knew they would surely kill him. He just wanted to see how the old man would reply.

“When weapons clashed, it’s inevitable for there to be injuries. Young sir, there’s no need to show mercy. We won’t show mercy as well.” The old man slowly spoke, his intent clear to all.

Qing Shui nodded. “Since this is the case, I accept.”

“Old brother, let me help you!” At this moment, Yin Tong flew up together with Lan Lingfeng and Ziche Sha.

Qing Shui shook his head. The three of them might be strongest within the youngest generations, they were still far from being able to match these four old men. In fact, they might even be insta-killed. He smiled at them, “I can handle them I think. Just support me from below.”

“Everyone look, that’s the eldest miss of the Ziche Clan and the number one young man of the Linhai City!” Some of the crowd commented excitedly.

“The Lan Clan and Ziche Clan seems to have an extraordinary relationship with the Imperial Cuisine Hall.”

“Yeah, but why no experts from their clans have been mobilised?”

“Maybe Miraculous Doctor Qing wants to take responsibility himself. Didn’t you hear the words of the red-robed old ancestor? The four of them joining forces was one thing, but they might still not be able to defeat Miraculous Doctor Qing.”

“You also choose to trust in the words of that old fox? Can’t you see that these old men wants to kill the Miraculous Doctor?”

“As someone that can make these four old fogeys join forces, Miraculous Doctor Qing must truly be extremely strong. In addition, he is very intelligent. If he is not confident, why would he accept this one versus four arrangement?”

……

Qing Shui stood in the air and took out his Golden Battle Halberd. However, he kept his fire bird and switched it for the Dragon Slaying Beast and Hell Nightmare Beast.

When Qing Shui summoned these two, the red-robed old ancestor’s expressions changed for a moment but swiftly returned to normal. His eyes narrowed into slits as though he was thinking about something.

For the Hell Nightmare Beast, it has been nurtured by Qing Shui using powerful medicinal pills and was many times more extraordinary than before. It has a beyond god-like defence that surpass super shield beasts, and a sharpness that exceeds the Blackgold Diamond Rat King. It was very fearsome in combat.

There was no need to say anything more about the Dragon Slaying Beast. Also with the existence of the Shadowless Flying Shuttle, the fearsomeness level of these two demonic beasts sky rocketed. Although their speed increased by one-fold, their strength increased by more than that.

“Let’s begin!”

Qing Shui has already circulated his strength to the extreme limits earlier. For this battle, he might not be able to defeat his opponents in a short time but Qing Shui wasn’t afraid to drag the battle on. The longer he could drag it on, the greater his chance of victory.

The old man waved his hand, all of them stood in a fork position as they stared at Qing Shui.

Nine Palace Positioning!

Qing Shui didn’t dare to be careless and instantly activated the Nine Palace Positionings. He also linked telepathically with two of his demonic beasts, achieving a perfect rapport, able to unleash their greatest strength.

The four old men all had a crimson blood staff in their hands but their robes were all different. At this moment, a red color mist slowly enveloped the four of them, forming a ball-shaped blood barrier.

Golden sword!

Qing Shui raised his hand as a golden sword slashed out towards the blood-colored barrier directly.

Pa!

A crisp sound rang out as the golden sword shattered. However, Qing Shui has anticipated that. He shot his other hand out summoning the bloodthirsty demonic vines, directly binding blood barrier with his four opponents.

However, before he could retract the vines, he discovered the blood barrier in ball shape emitting an intense crimson light that was much richer in hues of red compared to the vines. Next, the bloodthirsty demonic vines were actually devoured as it began losing vitality.

Qing Shui was startled. He directly withdrew his demonic vines.

Tidal Cloud Waves Seal！

The surroundings before Qing Shui suddenly turned into an ocean with huge tsunami waves everywhere. With a wave of his hand, the waves rose to over 1,000 metres and surged towards the blood ball.

Bang Bang!
