AST 2218 - Life and Pride (1/2)

That man was still very confident in his Berserk Dragon Fist. His fist technique might not be fast but its power was nothing to be taken lightly. Moreover, it came along with a Heavy Strike ability, with each fist having a crushing force and a powerful aura. However, he hadn't expected that this young man would be able to receive this.

He had basically gone all out. He was a careful person and no matter what kind of opponent he encountered, he would display his full powers. Even if he could crush the opponent into smithereens with a single move, he wouldn't hold back. Otherwise, if his opponent were given a chance to turn the tables around, it'd be too late to regret.

Buddha Wisdom Seal!

Qing Shui performed another ultimate Buddha technique.

Although the Buddha Wisdom Seal couldn't reduce the opponent's attacking force, it would increase his own defense without the opponent noticing it. It would reduce the damage caused by the opponent by 20% as a result.

In a sense, he could reduce the opponent's attacks by 20%, but the opponent wouldn't know about it.

Qing Shui smiled and clenched both his fists as he charged out toward the man, using the Windwhisk Willow.

His movement was extremely elusive. This was what the opponent was the weakest in. The man was one who used force to push through everything.

Boom!

This man's fist technique was very skillful. Even with Qing Shui's great movement technique, he was still hit by the man’s attack. However, Qing Shui moved together with the force, negating a large amount and then dodging the rest. He then once again landed a punch on this man.

The man was unable to dodge Qing Shui's punch. However, his defense was comparable to his attacking abilities. That heavy strike had made even Qing Shui back off from the tremor. The man clearly didn't receive any damage at all.

”It's useless. Your attacks won't be able to break through my flesh and it's also useless to hit me at my acupuncture points. When one reaches a certain level of cultivation, their defense at their acupuncture points would become stronger. Moreover, you won't even be able to reach my acupuncture points with your current power,” the man said, as he realized that the spots that Qing Shui had struck were all on his acupuncture points.

”It really seems to be the case.”

Qing Shui then struck out with this Dragon-capturing Hands, followed by a Mountain Push Stance.

Although the man was very careful, he was unable to dodge Qing Shui's attacks. Therefore, he guarded some of his crucial points and tried to dodge. However, he soon discovered that Qing Shui's attack could cause dizziness.

The dizziness disappeared very quickly and then he felt a majestic power gushing toward him. What had astonished him was that he was able to fend it off and ended up retreating endlessly. This was an invisible force and it was only at this moment that Qing Shui charged over with his elusive movements.

Then, he punched out with the impact from the Mountain Push Stance.

Inch Explosive Punch！

The prowess of the Explosive Punch was the strongest amongst his fist techniques while the Inch's gentle force could greatly increase his own explosive force to break through defenses and short distances. This punch fiercely struck against the man's chest, making a stifled sound.

The man staggered but quickly recovered, appearing as if he wasn't affected at all.

”I told you that it's useless. Your attacking prowess is too weak. If your attacking force is the same as mine, that attack would have certainly taken my life.” The man was also in admiration for this young man's battle techniques. If he had this young man's battle techniques and speed then it would be unimaginable. His battle prowess could increase by many folds.

”I know. I'm just training my actual combat abilities and tempering some of my battle techniques. Since you wanted to know so much if I have the attacking prowess to inflict damage to you, I'll satisfy you.” Qing Shui smiled and struck out a hand seal.

Buddha Bright Seal!

A dignified Buddha statue that seemed to have divine power appeared and the hand seal encompassed that man.

At almost the same time, Qing Shui struck out with a snow-white light that was like blade shadows, and yet, also like a whip that lashed out.
