AST 1589 - Battle with Silver Battle King Crab (2/2)
It was already late into the night when the room quietened down. Yiye Jiange was curled up in Qing Shui’s embrace, her beautiful face donning a blissful expression.
“Qing Shui, are you confident of defeating the Silver Battle King Crab? Why don’t you let me fight instead?” Yiye Jiange’s dazed eyes found their way to Qing Shui.
Qing Shui stretched his arm and gave her perky bottom a light slap. “You’re my woman. Regardless of what happens in the future, I’ll be the one shielding you.”
When they first met, she had been the one to protect him, blocking him from everything that had the power to destroy him. It was from then on that he told himself he would do the same for her regardless of the situation.
“Since that incident at Hundred Miles City, I’ve already decided on protecting you, and I believe I can finally do it now.”
Yiye Jiange let out a small hum at his touch, snuggling up into his embrace as she shut her eyes. The docile look on her face was the insatiable spark that caused Qing Shui to go off once more…
Qing Shui and Yiye Jiange woke up early the next day—or perhaps, it was more accurate to say that they had not slept at all. They chatted with each other until daybreak before deciding to get up.
There was still a little time left before the scheduled battle, but Qing Shui had already arrived at the nearest point to the Sunset Palace within the Sea King’s Palace. They could see each other at this moment. The Aquatics had exceptional sight in water, and for Qing Shui, his Paragon Water Shield allowed him to see just as well as them.
It wasn’t long before a burly man appeared from the opposite side. His figure was peculiar—both his legs were split into two all the way to his knees, and his arms were also split up to the elbow. He was at least three metres in height, having a snow-white body that appeared to have eight limbs.
This was the Silver Battle King Crab, an ancient battle crab. It was one that resembled a person in Qing Shui’s perspective, but not entirely. Seeing it in person, Qing Shui no longer regarded it as a human in the depths of his heart.
“You’re the Guardian of the Sea King’s Palace?” The burly man asked Qing Shui as it reached the center. His voice rang like metal, and his body seemed to be clad in metal-like scales as well.
“Yes!” Qing Shui gave him a once over while he responded.
“Haha, the Guardian of Sea King’s Palace is a young man who isn’t even done with puberty. How laughable.” The Silver Battle King Crab’s voice was thickly coated with scorn.
Qing Shui didn’t react to it, nor did he grow furious with the mockery. There weren’t many who could anger him, and likewise, this was hardly a big deal.
“I wonder if you can still manage a laugh in a while.” Qing Shui smiled.
The Silver Battle King Crab shook his head. “Let us proceed then. I’m going to have a drink when I’m done here. I told them to go ahead without me. I’m going to catch up with them after this.”
With that, the Silver Battle King Crab rose up to the body of water above in order to avoid accidental manslaughter and the destruction of their buildings during the fight.
With a flash of movement, Qing Shui followed after the Silver Battle King Crab and stopped when he was several meters away. It was then that he noticed the four weapons in his opponent’s hand.
Blade, trident, sword and truncheon!
It was the first time Qing Shui had witnessed such a spectacle. It was no wonder the Silver Battle King Crab was the descendant of the ancient battle bloodline; not just anyone would be able to use this many weapons at once.
Qing Shui held his Golden Battle Halberd and focused his might into it. It was his first time facing off with one of such ancient battle species; it was better for him to be safe than sorry.
This was a type of mighty crab species after all.
Affected by the aura the two were emitting, the surrounding water began having gradual changes as well. With a shift of Qing Shui’s conscious mind, the Nine Continents Mountain appeared, rushing towards the Silver Battle King Crab in an attempt to crush him.
While the Nine Continents Mountain’s strength was immense, the Silver Battle King Crab merely lifted an arm and swung the enormous truncheon in his hand towards it.
Bang!
Gigantic waves rolled with the impact and the Nine Continents Mountain was struck out of range. The body of the Silver Battle King Crab glimmered and his huge body moved forward with the movements of his four muscular limbs. In incomparable queerness, he swam towards Qing Shui.
The Silver Battle King Crab’s weapons were strangely in sync as they struck towards Qing Shui, as though it had been cultivated that way. There was a strangeness in the way it moved that was beyond description.
Nine Palace Steps!
Nine Palace Laws!
Qing Shui dodged in haste. He had absolute confidence in his own body but he had never thought it imperative to dodge so quckly. As such, he knew that he would be at a disadvantage sooner or later, and concluded it would still better for him to lay low.
Art of Pursuing!
Emperor’s Qi!
Phoenix Battle Intent!
Seal of Xuantian!
Qing Shui countered in haste and reduced the Silver Battle King Crab’s speed and might in an instant. With another shift of his conscious mind, the Nine Continents Mountain struck forth again. At the same time, Qing Shui waved his hand and gathered a gigantic Thorn of Earth, sending it piercing towards the Silver Battle King Crab’s body.
