AST 1868 - Unsurpassable like a god, defea (2/2)

“Jin Dao. A pleasure to meet you.” The man opposite Qing Shui said.

Qing Shui knew that the man was announcing his name. This was a habit across the continent. Usually, it was to let their opponents know in whose hands they were defeated by. Or rather, as the saying emphasized, no one would want to die by the hands of someone whom they didn’t even know the name of. This was a culture passed across the continent.

“Qing Shui. My pleasure.” Qing Shui didn’t try to hide anything. There were very few people who actually know his name.

Two weapons reminiscent of a sword appeared in Jin Dao’s hands. They were both dyed in dark gold. Though that might be the case, they were still quite bright. Glimmering light could be seen shining across the blade of the sword as it gave out chilly killing intentions.

His weapon was quite decent. As Qing Shui was observing the opponent’s weapon, he didn’t bring out his own. Though it was said that one must not let their guard down even if they ran into someone significantly weaker than himself, Qing Shui just couldn’t find the need to take out his weapons. To him, there was absolutely no point of taking it out. He was quite confident in himself.

“Take out your weapon. Swords have no eyes. I don’t want to take advantage of you.” The man saw Qing Shui without his weapons and said with his brows knitted.

Qing Shui was, in a way, looking down on his opponents with his actions. This was very disrespectful to a warrior. Hence, Jin Dao was naturally unhappy about it.

“It’s not that I look down on you, it’s just that it won’t be of use for me. In fact, it will just be inconvenient for me to take it out. Just bring it on!” Qing Shui shook his head and made a gesture which challenged him.

“You are digging your own grave, don’t regret it!” Jin Dao was enraged by Qing Shui. He shouted out loudly as he crisscrossed both his swords and slashed it at Qing Shui.

Ten Formidable Martial Skills, Ten Directional Slaughter! Cross Slash!

The two dark golden colored sword afterimages were like a solid substance as they gave out a bright and golden light. The light was dazzling as it chopped its way towards Qing Shui.

Qing Shui didn’t move. He watched as Jin Dao approached him. At this moment, an enormous lobster emerged in his eyes. Those two golden swords’ afterimages were precisely his claws.

This was a real kind of illusion. Jin Dao was someone who carried the bloodline of the Five-headed Lobster King. However, from what Qing Shui felt, at the moment, Jin Dao was only a Single-headed Lobster King. He seemed to still lack quite a significant amount of firepower. Nevertheless, he could definitely be considered one of the peak existence among those Single-headed ones.

He was still young, and being young was already an asset. Maybe in the future, he might truly be able to succeed as the Five-headed Lobster King. The possibility of this happening, however, was quite small. Still, who knew what might happen in the future?

Qing Shui stretched his hand forward, As he did so, his arm became as bright as a jade. Immediately after, it shone with bright light as he abruptly thrust his fist forward.

Hou!

A noise resembling a dragon’s cry came through. The huge palm imprint immediately caught the two golden swords.

Dragon-capturing Hands!

Qing Shui used the Dragon Capturing Hands of the Dragon Form. In just a while, the two golden swords that were shining brightly across the sky immediately reverted to its original shape and were immobilized in Qing Shui’s hands.

Jin Dao struggled a few times before coming to the realization that the gap between his and his opponent’s strength was too huge. They were at completely different levels, as if an adult was up against a mischievous child. The gap was immeasurable.

In Jin Dao’s mind, he was bombarded by a huge sense of failure. His opponent was young and yet his cultivation had greatly surpassed him by many folds. All along, he had always thought of himself as an exceptional genius. Even a lot of the people at his age admired him. However, he had never seen anyone who managed to achieve the strength which the young man in front of him possessed. Even those around Jin Dao who were more powerful than him only surpassed him by very little. The young man standing in front of him, on the other hand, was a totally different story. He was like an entity that could never be surpassed.
