AST 2297 - Massacre, Not A Single One Left Alive (1/2)

“Hey, Old Three! Use a bit more strength! Did you not eat or what?!”

“Shut up, Old Five! I’m already old now, so what?!”

“I really have sinned too much when I was younger, so I’m paying for it now!” sighed one elder of the She Clan.

…

The two elderly members of the Chi Clan continuously jabbed at each other with their words. On the other hand, the two strong opposing elders of the She Clan had already endured many hits from them.

This time, The Third and Fifth Uncle were able to defeat their opponents so easily due to Qing Shui’s help. Otherwise, it would have been much harder for them to win. It was possible that they might even lose.

The fight had already reached the climax and didn’t continue for that long after it. Qing Shui’s Dragon-capturing hands, Gouging Strike, and Bright Buddha Seal were all used at critical points, which was at times when the Chi Clan’s experts could deliver a deadly blow.

The enemies’ experts were confused. The attacks that should have been easily dodged came smashing at them. They were then stunned as they discovered that their bodies refused to move. And afterward, the darkness engulfed them one by one.

The battle concluded quickly as their opponents left everything and retreated. Only three people from the Chi Clan were hurt, and it wasn’t even that serious.

Cleaning the battlefield after the fight was something that made the members of the Chi Clan very happy because this filled them with a sense of accomplishment. It built their strength and their confidence that they would need to stand tall in this region.

After the fight, they also knew about the power that Qing Shui had trusted them with. But they weren’t sure about the situation as a whole.

By killing tens of people that had come from the She Clan, they knew that they would shock them a bit. However, they shouldn’t let this situation be. Without pulling out the roots of the problem, the She Clan would just come back.

Besides, Qing Shui had a guess: the next time the She Clan attacked, they would bring stronger members, stronger in the sense of better quality and quantity.

Qing Shui wasn’t afraid. Worrying about useless things wasn’t his style; moreover, the strength of the Chi Clan now was no longer ignorable. With the Formations that Qing Shui had imparted them, along with a form of sharpening their weapons before the fight, he hoped that they would be able to use them effectively.

Without realizing it, Qing Shui had been treated as a mysterious existence within the Chi Clan. He had a sort of mysterious strength. If a clan had such a strong member, it would be hard for them not to become strong. Along with the outstanding ladies beside him, they knew that he could keep forces like the Chi Clan under his control.

Third Uncle Chi and Fifth Uncle Chi were a little beyond belief when they thought about it. By raising their own strength by two folds the original, they had reduced their opponents’ battle prowess by the same amount. These strengthening skills could lessen the disparity of strength between experts substantially. If they were originally on an equal level, then one of them would leave the other in the dust.

As long there was a crowd with Qing Shui in the center, these people would be like an invincible wall. No army would be able to reach him even at the cost of all of their lives.

However, what made the Chi Clan really happy was the fact that Qing Shui was their friend. He was simply the gift from God. For all of the members of the Chi Clan, rejuvenating their Clan was their greatest wish. What had happened that year had left a hollow on their heart, and they were not about to let that go even if they died.

Although their defensive formation hadn’t contributed much during the battle, they still won in the end. After cleaning up the battlefield, they went on to party and celebrate.

In a while, the sky turned dark, and Shen Huang and Beihuang Fan went back to their assigned quarters with Qing Shui. The Chi Clan members thought that they would live in a little courtyard, but they only took a floor with three rooms inside.

They had a small courtyard with a pavilion for their own use. The rooms here were pretty relaxed, and Qing Shui also had the status to take a courtyard all by himself. Qing Shui took the room in the middle for himself, and the two ladies took the two other rooms beside Qing Shui’s.

When they ate, they ate together. However, this time, Qing Shui took out a little bottle of wine which made the two girls very happy. They had always had the simple and elegant appeal on them, however, the little red tinge on their face complemented their attractiveness doubtlessly, simply doubling their allure.

Qing Shui felt that this mealtime was even more of a feast for the eyes, and he continued to look at the two girls. The table had already been filled with the best food, but looking around, Qing Shui still thought that the allure of the two girls was even more irresistible, especially because he felt that they had reached a new milestone in their relationship.

Thinking of the small hands of Shen Huang, Qing Shui felt the heat go over him. All of a sudden, Shen Huang returned to the room after eating a little more.

Beihuang Fan also stood up as she saw this, but she was stopped by Qing Shui. “What? am I that scary? Stay and eat with me, otherwise, I’ll be lonely!”

Beihuang Fan relented and sat back down, she smiled. “No way, if you were scary, I wouldn’t dare follow you.”
