AST 2082 - Fighting Against The Sword Demon Inheritor, Tong Yuan (2/2)

“Come on! You all should attack together!” Qing Shui drew his own Golden Battle Halberd as he mocked them.

Qing Shui wasn’t exactly trying to goad them since he still hadn’t used his Demonic Beasts. Qing Shui could only have a rough sense of how strong they were. He was unable to have an accurate sense of their strength.

“Even though I know that you’re trying to goad me, I never placed any importance to whatever you said. I individually challenge you to a duel, between masters. I do not want to bully a woman.” Tong Yuan lifted his longsword and stepped forward.

His one step seemed as though he had stepped past heaven and earth; it was a strange feeling. Qing Shui thought about it. In the world of footwork, it was close to the Eight Trigrams Steps. Moreover, in terms of speed, he was on par with Qing Shui.

“Okay, then we will first fight one round to the death, what do you think?” Qing Shui grinned as he asked.

Tong Yuan also grinned and nodded, “Just up my alley.”

“Please!”

Once done, Qing Shui flew off the ground; Tong Yuan was close behind him. He said, “Let’s go!”

9th Lotus Manifestation Stage!

Nine spinning lotuses appeared over Qing Shui’s body. They were all spinning in different directions, creating a terrifying aura of death.

The silhouette of 3 swords appeared around the Sword Demon, all suspended around Tong Yuan’s side, displaying a chilling aura in the air.

Qing Shui was careful. This person’s abilities were far superior to his; he could not afford to continue hiding any of his abilities. Using the Art of Pursuing, he attacked and followed it up with Emperor’s Qi.

Tong Yuan’s speed was reduced by half and his abilities reduced by two folds in just a short while. It was very uncomfortable for him, especially the lack of speed. In a battle, speed was more important than one’s abilities. Without speed, it would be very difficult to hit the opponent. No matter how strong one was, it was useless if you couldn’t hit your target.

Tong Yuan was not happy about it. By taking a deep breath, his power immediately improved by 2 times, recovering back to his previous state. However, he was still unable to recover his speed. After that, his longsword flew towards Qing Shui.

A sword from the West!

It was very obvious when a real expert struck. Qing Shui watched as the longsword flew towards him. He suddenly felt that he had nowhere to run. This was its purpose, its advantage. The longsword was coated with a devastating layer of cold air. The air that came into contact with it all got frozen immediately.

Qing Shui turned his Nine Yang Force to its peak. His Golden Battle Halberd was set ablaze, spitting out bright flames. His Nine Stances of the Ancient Divine Battle Technique merged the strong points of his weapons and sent them to attack.

Ding!

Qing Shui was dealt a clean blow. The result was to be expected. His strength was inferior to his opponent. The only thing that could weaken him was the Emperor’s Qi and the Art of Pursuing. The Heavenly Talisman and Vajra Subdues Demons also could do so, but they had little to no effect. The main problem was that his opponent was too strong. Weakening his opponent this way was not as effective as using Emperor’s Qi and the Art of Pursuing. The opponent could easily get rid of the minor effects with some special powers.

Therefore, Qing Shui decided not to use those. But he still had his Battle God Halo and Formation. They weren’t absolutely effective against every enemy, but they were still very powerful, especially with Qing Shui’s modifications to the Halo. These things were not able to go through all defenses, but it would do.
