AST 1643 - Change, in between the living and the dead, red tears, victory or loss? (1/2)

AST 1643 - Change, in between the living and dead, Red Tears, Victory or Loss?

Peng!

The streak of light had already pierced through Qing Shui’s chest. The old man revealed a joyful look on his face. It’s just that Qing Shui’s Golden Battle Halberd also happened to land on his shoulder. The formidable power of the Golden Battle Halberd immediately crushed the shoulder of a warrior who was at the Divine Grade.

The old man’s strength was at the Divine Grade. However, his defensive prowess was only considered decent. Added on the ability of Qing Shui’s Golden Battle Halberd to ignore the opponent’s defensive prowess, the old man’s shoulder was immediately crushed into pieces.

The old man looked at Qing Shui. If he could manage to kill Qing Shui with this strike, it would be worth it even if it meant that he would lose one arm. But he soon realized that Qing Shui was in perfect shape. As that happened, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He tried his hardest to blink his eyes only to find that things were things were still the same. He was in perfect shape.

Right at this moment, the clumsy old man whose position was switched with Qing Shui’s Great Reversal once again charged his way back towards Qing Shui. But upon witnessing the scene in front of him, he was struck by an intense feeling of helplessness.

Peng!

Qing Shui’s Golden Battle Halberd immediately smashed the old man’s heart and crushed it into pieces. When you decided to take part in this game, you would need to be ready to pay the price. Being generous to opponents was equivalent to being cruel to yourself.

Hence, Qing Shui didn’t hesitate to eliminate the old man. After that, he immediately charged his way towards the elderly man, who was spaced out. The two old men Qing Shui were facing were the weakest ones among the group in terms of strength. It’s very easy for Qing Shui to kill the two Divine Grade warriors who had already lost their will to fight. These warriors were no longer Divine existences.

Qing Shui’s tyrannical attacks combined with his Dragon Slaying Beast. For a moment, it gave a Divine Grade Warrior a feeling that he was fragile. This was how Qing Shui was so powerful. A Divine Grade Warrior at elementary level was right away crippled in his hands.

With Qing Shui finishing off the old men, the tide of the battle could be considered to finally have been turned.. At the very least, they had managed to win back their initial disadvantage in terms of numbers. By now, Feng Xi had also taken care of the opponents on her side. At the moment, Hong Hong and Hong Gu were the only ones left on the field.

On Qing Shui’s side, there were four of them, just like from the beginning. None of them were dead. They weren’t even injured. This kind of discrepancy put a huge amount of pressure on Hong Clan.

Eight Divine Warriors had died, although they were all only at elementary level. The strongest one among the people who had taken part in the battle was only a peak First grade Divine Warrior. Despite that, the Hong Clan had basically sent out all their Divine warriors available.

There were only very few Divine Warriors in the Divine Moon Immortal Sect. As one of the top-notch aristocratic clans, the Hong Clan was almost the Yin Clan’s equal. In terms of the amount of clan members they had, they even had an upper-hand.

Eight... the death of eight Divine Warriors had caused HOng Clan to regret what they did. Even if they won, the amount of things which they gained could never make up for their losses.

One small mistake had led to the demise of their entire clan. Their initial plan was to take over the position of Divine Moon Immortal Sect’s Sect Lord. After that, they could use the most convenient resources available in the clan. From there, the Hong Clan would definitely rise up by another level, so much so that they might even advance into the deeper part of Haohan Continent.

Money often came from danger. Taking risks would always be in direct proportion with the possible rewards. This time, the Hong Clan made up their mind to risk this opportunity only to find that the they had lost the game which they were extremely certain they would win. They lost everything.

Old Man Wang, Feng Xi and Yin Cha all let out a sigh of relief. Though the two most powerful Hong Clan members were still on the stage, they were already able to see signs of their victory.

“This is such a shocking outcome…… There are only two members from Hong Clan left…..”

“The remaining two participants are their strongest warriors.”

“Does it matter? All the eight other members who died were Divine Warriors. Eight of them, and they were all Dao Sovereigns! This might possibly be one of the greatest losses the Divine Moon Immortal Sect suffered. Those were basically all of the Divine Grade Warriors in the Hong Clan.”

“I heard that there is still one more Dao Sovereign at the Divine Grade left in Hong Clan.”

“The Hong Clan is finished. The Yin Clan only sent out four people. The battle has only gone on for a while and they have already managed to finish off eight Divine Sovereigns. Eight of them! They were no ordinary people to mess with.”

Though the battle might seem easy and straightforward, only Qing Shui and the other three people knew about the risk in it. If it wasn’t because of mistakes by their opponents, the outcome of the battle might still be undecided. In some extreme cases, Qing Shui’s side would have most certainly lost.

Qing Shui might have formidable abilities, but he would also need expert warriors to support him. Old Man Wang, Feng Xi and Yin Cha were precisely the expert warriors in this context. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to fight the match. If there had been no one there to hold back Hong Hong and Hong Gu, Qing Shui wouldn’t have lasted this long.

Qing Shui was standing on a spot quite distant away from them. By now, the situation had changed to the Yin Clan besieging the Hong Clan. At this moment, Qing Shui informed Feng Xi and Yin Cha to think of a way to make the Hong brothers separate away from each other, so that Old Man Wang would only have to deal with either Hong Hong and Hong Gu.

Actually, things would work out even if they were to face their opponents straight on. Qing Shui was only worried about accidents which might occur. Meanwhile, the Thunderous Beast constantly unleashed its Thunderbolt attack from a distance.

The thing the Thunderous Beast was doing was similar to cooking a frog with warm water. Initially, the influence it brought upon to the battle might be really insignificant, but by the time the opponent realized something was wrong, everything would be too late. There would be no more turning back for the warrior.

The two Patriarchs from the Hong Clan were aware of how powerful this could be. At the moment, no one dared to underestimate anything which Qing Shui unleashed. Hence, the outcome was very easy to figure out.

Naturally, Hong Hong and Hong Gu would hold a grudge towards this kind of conclusion. Even if they knew that it’s almost impossible to change the outcome, they were still willing to give it a try. Otherwise, the Hong Clan be totally done for.
