AST 1881 - Discrepancy, Defeat, Leave One Arm Behind

Qing Shui was startled by the situation, this Elder Jian Nu was very powerful . If his Nine Yang Dragon Soul had not undergone a striking breakthrough, Qing Shui predicted a massive and miserable loss with his previous strength .

However, his strength now was like Heaven and Earth compared to before . Hence, the old man’s swift, fierce, and revolutionary attack seemed like a piece of cake to Qing Shui . He could not feel any deadly life threats .

Dragon-capturing Hands!

Qing Shui used the Golden Battle Halberd while performing Dragon-capturing Hands . A gigantic golden dragon dashed towards the Elder Jian Nu . It was a clash of spiritual attacks and Qing Shui’s Nine Yang Dragon Soul was several times more destructive against spiritual attacks .

Plus, Qing Shui’s Nine Yang Dragon Soul had greater attacking force than the Elder Jian Nu . Hence, the collision was violent . The white rays’ explosion and gold rays’ condensation painted a colorful and magnificent scenery .

Qing Shui paused, he did not use techniques like the Emperor’s Qi and the Art of Pursuing against the Elder Jian Nu . They were yet to force Qing Shui into desperation with their current strengths . Nevertheless, the Elder Jian Nu was the most powerful man Qing Shui had ever met . To have such a daunting strength, no wonder these people were arrogant and confident .

As the halo dispersed, Qing Shui stopped . Elder Jian Nu stood far away while looking flustered . There was a slight blood stain at the corner of his mouth and his face was pale, indicating that he was injured . He stared in disbelief at Qing Shui from far, was unable to face the reality till the very moment .

He was not someone who could not afford failures, but this opponent was too young to be true . In the previous fight, he sensed that the opponent had been lenient . Thus, he could not even feel Qing Shui’s actual strength .

Devil, the absolute devil . All the genius youngsters he met before did not even deserve to be mentioned .

There were a lot of geniuses in the Great Confucian Empire . Yet, upon seeing this young man, Elder Jian Nu realized that they were nothing . As a powerful Alchemist, he was aware of Qing Shui’s whereabouts .

“You lost!” Qing Shui said with a smile . He sounded calm and not surprised at all as if he had predicted his victory .

“Mm!”

After a long time, Elder Jian Nu answered softly . It sounded more like a long sigh of ratification . It was the helplessness of being forced to accept the cruel reality . Raising his head, he asked Qing Shui, “Why did you go easy on me?”

Under normal circumstances, a serious injury or even death was expected in a battle like this . Meanwhile, Elder Jian Nu only suffered light injuries . For his own safety, Qing Shui was not overly lenient, or else, it would have been cruel to himself . He would die in grief if a careless mistake took his life away without making his best attempt . It was a taboo for the warriors in a battle .

“I never kill without discrimination . Besides, I don’t think you’re someone I should kill,” Qing Shui answered directly .

“I lost, I can’t possibly invite Mr . Qing anymore, can we leave?,” Elder Jian Nu looked at Qing Shui in despair .

“Absolutely . However, you can’t just come and leave so casually . It’s not a place for you to mess around . You, leave an arm behind or keep your life, it’s your choice,” Qing Shui pointed at the man who wanted to kill him initially .

“You, you……” His arm was already disfigured, but still was better than to chop it off . At once, his body was soaked in cold sweats . He stared at Qing Shui, looking dumbfounded and speechless .

“I’ll give you three breaths’ time, I’ll do it if you don’t . Yet, it is hard to tell whether I’ll take away your arm or your life,” Qing Shui gave this middle-aged man a cold stare . Qing Shui disliked people who wanted him dead, he must at least give this man a profound lesson as a future warning for the men of the Great Confucian Empire .

Qing Shui remained silent . He closed his eyes and raised his head slightly while the clock was ticking . Elder Jian Nu took out his sword without a word .

Ahh!

With a painful scream, one arm fell onto the ground . Qing Shui opened his eyes and turned around, “Go, bring your arm along!”

“Let’s go, we shall go back!” Qing Shui said to Lan Lingfeng and the others . Qing Shui did not bring Yiye Jiange this time because she had to babysit Qing Xiu and the battlefield was not suitable for kids .

This fight also made Lan Lingfeng and others realize their strength discrepancies . Initially, they thought they could catch up with Qing Shui by practicing hard these years . They only wished to bring the gap closer, but they never dreamt to outperform Qing Shui one day .

Nevertheless, they could never keep up with Qing Shui now . Some of them were happy for Qing Shui’s improvement, but each of them wished to grow stronger . Thus, they held their breaths and swore to train hard .

Tantai Lingyan stood beside Qing Shui, her strength was the greatest besides him . Yet, she could not gauge Qing Shui’s actual strength . She knew it was not Qing Shui’s full strength that she felt previously since his combat skills were much stronger than his graded strength .

Yet, she could not even feel his graded strength today .

Qing Shui held Tantai Lingyan’s hand and headed back . Qing Shui’s personality changed gradually and subconsciously . This time, Qing Shui experienced a huge realm transformation, he could now look clearer into some issues .

Tantai Lingyan struggled but failed, after all, there were many people around .

Though everyone kept quiet, it was known that these women were not only ordinary friends with Qing Shui . Everyone knew it very well .

Qing Shui noticed Tantai Lingyan’s gesture which showed that she was bothered . Looking at her softly blushed and beautiful face, Qing Shui smiled . Tantai Lingyan spotted his smile and understood his meaning .

She stopped resisting and had a strange feeling . This was no longer new to her . This man brought her too many ‘first time’ and she gave him almost every ‘first time’ she had . She wondered if the biggest misunderstanding in their first meeting was still regarded as a mistake……

“Qing Shui, you beat the Elder Jian Nu today, they will send a stronger man next time,” Yin Tong initiated a conversation .

“Let them come, oh ya, anyone knows who fell ill in the Great Confucian Empire?” Qing Shui skipped this question previously as he was pissed .

“I am not sure too, it seems to be a State Master,” Yin Tong shook his head .

“Hmm, State Master . The State Master of an empire could rule the world . A State Master is the master and guardian of an empire with powerful strength and high prestige . The Great Confucian Empire is a strong force, this State Master should be no ordinary man,” Qing Shui said with a smile after thinking shortly .
