AST 2218 - Life and Pride (2/2)

Pa!

The Buddha Bright Seal rendered the man dizzy and under that state, many of his body's functions plunged by a lot. Qing Shui's strike was lashed out with quite a powerful force and the man was sent flying back while spurting blood. This attack was too vicious and even though the man's body was extremely sturdy, Qing Shui's attack could overcome any defense. Moreover, the man was still in a dizzy state.

Qing Shui felt a strong sense of achievement. One move was all he needed. This Stellar Transposition was too vicious. Under peak conditions, if Qing Shui was lucky, he could strike with an attacking force of 16 billion Dao force that could negate defense. As it could negate the opponent's defense, there wasn't a need to consider it, only his strength and vitality.

If the other party's strength could reach 200 billion Dao force then it would mean that his body would have the capability of this level. Even if Qing Shui's attack was at full power, it wouldn't be able to take his life.

This man was quite strong and didn't die on the spot from Qing Shui's attack. However, he was pretty much on the verge of death. Even if he didn't die from this, he would end up not being able to recover to his prime condition unless he took at least eight to ten years. It might even be possible that he would never recover to that point.

Beihuang Fan was also shocked. When did this guy become so powerful? At this level, his strength had already surpassed that of the old Golden Battle God and her father. It seemed that the major players in the Northern Emperor Domain would have to change. However, she was actually feeling very happy inside, knowing that he had become so strong.

The people from the Northern Emperor Food Residence turned pale, not knowing what they had just witnessed.

The two remaining men in black robes helped up the man who had gone into a deep coma from Qing Shui's bashing and rapidly fed him a medicinal pill. One of them then walked to Qing Shui, ”We admit our loss this time. State your condition and let us off.”

Qing Shui looked at them, ”I'm already certain that you guys are acting on your own. If the news of this were to spread out, what kind of punishment would you people receive?”

The man whom Qing Shui had beaten up earlier claimed that if Qing Shui were to kill them, there'd definitely be people stepping out to protect him, such as the Nine Continents Divine Palace. Things were definitely like what Qing Shui had said. This time around, their group had tasted Qing Shui's food and wanted to have the recipe to themselves. The Nine Continents Food Residence wouldn't allow for this to happen and if they were to find out, the consequences would definitely be dire.

When the man heard Qing Shui's words, he shuddered. This reaffirmed Qing Shui's theory even further.

”We admit our loss. Learn to show mercy. What would you do to let us off? In the end, you didn't suffer anything and one of us has been beaten up by you. We don't even know if he'll survive.” The man frowned, as if a little enraged, displeased, and impatient at the same time as he said this.

Pa!

Qing Shui gave him a slap in the face.

”Rein in that filthy pride of yours, sacrificing people for your own goals. If I didn’t defeat you people, wouldn't I be the one to be on the verge of death, forced to give up my recipe?” Qing Shui looked coldly at the man who was speechless after being slapped in the face.

The man hadn't been slapped like this before. He also had high status and hadn't been humiliated like this in the past, let alone by a young man like Qing Shui. Moreover, it was in the presence of so many insignificant characters who were obsequious toward him.

”Did you honestly believe that I wouldn’t kill you?”

Bathump!

The man dropped to his knees, ”Please spare my life! Without me, it'll be over for my clan. The men would all be killed and the women would suffer even worse fates. I have sons and daughters to take care of. I know that you're a good person. Please give me a second chance!”

Qing Shui looked at the other man who now had his head lowered slightly. Qing Shui knew that he was having an intense struggle within himself, having to choose between his pride or his life.

Pa!

Enough time had passed for him to use the Stellar Transposition once again and Qing Shui struck out again.

”Since you've chosen your pride, pay with your life. One must take responsibility for one’s own mistakes.” Qing Shui had just finished saying this when the man had completely disappeared from the lash. This person wasn't as strong as the man from earlier. At the very least, his vitality was weaker.
