AST 1902 - Grade Seven Nine Continents Mountain, A Turn for the Better?

After hearing what the Grand State Master said, Qing Shui smiled and said, "You're very pitiful!" 

The lady also looked at Qing Shui curiously . She looked at this man who could still remain calm in such a situation, she did not know what backing him up that could let him remain so calm .

Encountering the Poison Dragon King was how player encountered another pay-for-win player in a game . The latter had stronger defense and attack, and there was no way the former would be able to defeat them . Just an attack from the latter would take away half of their health points . There was really no way to fight .

Despite so, it wasn't as if the victor was absolute . There were still other things to consider . For example, one could apply seals to lock the opponent's abilities . No matter how strong the opponents were, if they didn't have the chance to fight, there was a chance that they would eventually die in the end . However, this was very difficult to achieve and required a lot of effort .

"Then I'll show you right now who is the pitiful one!" The Grand State Master said with contempt .

The Poison Dragon King moved . Its body which was the size of a small mountain went sweeping toward Qing Shui . An attack like this would make an ordinary person feel as if a large truck had come crashing over .

Dodge!

There was no other way out . Qing Shui could only dodge . When he did this, he brought out his Emperor's Qi, Art of Pursuing, and other skills one after another .

Qing Shui's Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda wasn't of much use when he was up against a powerful opponent like this . After all, Qing Shui's defense had only reached 40 million Dao Force and a few million Dao Force wouldn't make much of a difference . This was comparative to one's abilities . However, when Qing Shui got stronger in the future, the effect of this treasure would become stronger as well .

The Poison Dragon King was very powerful, but its attributes had been reduced a lot by Qing Shui . However, it was still stronger than what Qing Shui and the lady could deal with .

Boom!

When Qing Shui attempted to dodge once again, he was struck by the Poison Dragon King . The huge impact in that instant caused Qing Shui's mind to black out a little . Thankfully, he could still withstand such ordinary attacks . However, what the Poison Dragon King excelled in wasn't its physical attacks .

Roar!

Hu!

The black Qi around the Poison Dragon King suddenly increased tremendously . Then, a spurt of black mist shot out of its mouth . Like rain, it covered the entire area . The pitch-black fog brought with it a smelly and pungent scent that shot up to one's brain .

Seemingly Sealed Shut!

Qing Shui then took out two gold needles and pierced into his and the lady's Lingtai acupoint .

Nine Continents Mountain!

Qing Shui controlled the Nine Continents Mountain to block the black poison rain .

Sizzle . . .

A loud corroding sound kept ringing out, causing even Qing Shui to feel apprehensive . Would it really destroy his Nine Continents Mountain? In the future, the Nine Continents Mountain's prowess would definitely be above that of Qing Shui's . It was something that was many times stronger than Qing Shui and was his shield and weapon . After all, the Nine Continents Mountain had an attacking prowess that was already stronger than Qing Shui and the grade hadn’t maxed out yet .

Qing Shui's heart ached to hear those terrible sounds . He only hoped that the Nine Continents Mountain wouldn't be destroyed .

There were generally two types of poison attacks . The first type was the five elements' poison Qi typed, one that attacked the spirit . The other type would be the material poison such as venom or other types of poison that attacked the body directly . Sometimes, poison Qi could be seen in the form of fog . They weren't considered to have a material form . After all, although they could be seen, it wasn't really there .

The surrounding area was in a horrible state . The flat stone pavement was now filled with holes and there were many deep craters that one couldn't see the bottom of . It went to show how corrosive the poison was .

After the venom stopped, Qing Shui jumped out immediately to check the state of the Nine Continents Mountain . He noticed that there were small holes that were the size of beans and his heart ached . Although it could still be used, he had no idea if its effect would be greatly discounted and if its future advancement would be affected .

However, although there were some small holes, it went to show that the Nine Continents Mountain could still withstand the Poison Dragon King's venom .

But then, Qing Shui was stunned . It was because he noticed that those small holes were recovering at a rate that could be seen by the naked eye . After a few breaths' time, it recovered to its smooth state . . .

"What a powerful recovery ability!" Qing Shui was shocked, but was pleasantly surprised .

After the Nine Continents Mountain recovered, a thought entered Qing Shui's mind, causing him to be extremely surprised .

Its grade had increased! After being attacked by the venom, its grade had increased . . .

A Grade Seven Nine Continents Mountain!

Qing Shui soon saw the abilities of the current Nine Continents Mountain . It was five times stronger than his own attack, accompanied by an Absolute Shield Attack . No matter how strong the opponent was, it would not be struck back . However, in such a situation, it would deplete the owner's Qi two times faster .

Five times his own attack, which meant it was close to 20 million Dao Force . Although it wasn't enough, it wasn't bad . Right now, it was at this level as his attacking prowess was a far cry from his opponent's . If both parties were on the same level, then the Nine Continents Mountain would be able to kill the enemy with a single smash . . .

As for the Absolute Shield Attack, even if the depletion were to increase, he would be able to take it . That was Qing Shui's specialty, he definitely had enough Qi that the Ancient Strengthening Technique stored up and his recovery ability was also very terrifying . Therefore, it was fine even if the depletion were to double, or even triple what it was before .

Amongst Qing Shui's treasures, he had things which could reduce his depletion by 20% and even if his depletion were to double, it would still be less than what it would cost the others . Being able to sustain oneself to the very end was an ability itself .

Therefore, double the rate of depletion was nothing for Qing Shui’s Absolute Shield Attack . . . This was the Nine Continents Mountain's unique trait . With this, he won't have to back off even if he were to face this Poison Dragon King .

The Grade Seven Nine Continents Mountain was much more powerful than when it was at Grade Six . This was a great gap and Qing Shui didn't find it surprising . Amongst his many martial techniques and realms, there were often great gaps between even three tiers . The groups would be differentiated into first to the third tier, fourth to sixth tier, seventh to the ninth tier . . . At the seventh tier, it would already be considered to be top notch and would have a qualitative difference from the sixth tier .

Qing Shui stood there . The Nine Continents Mountain was floating above Qing Shui and he felt very confident right now .

"To think that it can withstand the Poison Dragon King's venom . It's really a great treasure . It'll belong to me very soon . And those women with you . . . Quite a number of them are still virgins . I'm really lucky . " The Grand State Master smirked evilly again, he was trying to agitate Qing Shui .

Qing Shui frowned . He knew that the other party was trying to agitate him, feeling unthreatened by the fact that he had the Poison Dragon King on his side .

Qing Shui looked at the Grand State Master . Although the Nine Continents Mountain was unable to deal any damage to the Poison Dragon King, at least not a tremendous damage, the same couldn't be said for the Grand State Master . The attack that was about 20 million Dao Force plus the might of Absolute Shield Attack was something that the Grand State Master would not be able to fend off .

"I wonder if this huge poison snake would be affected if I were to kill you . " Qing Shui smiled and looked at the Grand State Master .

Roar roar!

The Grand State Master didn't say anything but the Poison Dragon King bellowed out . It could be because Qing Shui had called it a huge poison snake . However, it didn't attack .

The Grand State Master hadn't expected that Qing Shui would still be able to say such words in this situation . He stared at Qing Shui seriously, not knowing if this man still had an ace up his sleeves or was just trying to bluff .

The duration for the Grand State Master's Wind Trace Protection was going to end soon, but after calling out his Poison Dragon King, he was afraid of nothing anymore . The Poison Dragon King was strong . Dragons had powerful attacks, terrifying defenses, and their ability to withstand damages were definitely ranked amongst the very top . The Poison Dragon King was also ranked amongst the top few dragon types in terms of its prowess . There were many varieties of dragons, and the powerful ones included the Divine Dragon, Golden Dragon, Azure Dragon, White Jade Dragon, Fire Dragon, Water Dragon, Earth Dragon . . .

Amongst each of the varieties, there was a further differentiation in terms of the number of claws they had on each foot . For many dragons, their blood lineage was determined from the very beginning . Some dragons were born with two, three or four claws on each foot from the moment they were born, and it was only when they attained a breakthrough and became more powerful would their number of claws increased . It was said that the strongest one of them all was the Divine Dragon with nine claws .
