AST 1990 - Qing Shui’s attack . Killing

If Clan Head Lang had known about the thoughts which this woman was assuming, would he have thrown out blood? Indeed, he liked Qing Ci . It was true that he had also thought about doing it as well . However, what he had cared even more about was his position as the clan’s head . He had hoped that Lang Clan could be even more powerful . By then, no forces would be significant enough to influence him . Until then, he would naturally be able to get Qing Ci to return to his side .  

It was perfectly normal for men to have this kind of thought in this world . The only thing which they sought was power . Power spoke for everything in this world . He was also right to think like that as this was what the majority of women would do . However, they seemed to have also neglected the minority of them . For example, women like Qing Ci . Even if Clan Head Lang were to become a peak expert in the future, it would still be impossible for him to have her back by then .  

For some people, once you lost them, it would mean losing them forever .

Qing Shui immediately charged forward without even taking out his weapon . When up against his equal, Qing Shui had enough confidence that he could beat them unarmed . Qing Shui had no intentions to drag things . He straight away charged forward and unleashed his powerful Continuous Combos .  

Gauging Strike!

This was a technique which Qing Shui had invented from the Solitary Rapid Speed . It was unusually fast and its inner force was capable of hitting the cow through a mountain . Most importantly, this strike consisted of an extraordinary power formed from the combination of spirit energy and Origin Qi . Up to an extent, it was capable of interfering with one’s mind, causing it to halt temporarily and delay their reaction time . In short, it was capable of distracting the opponent .

The mysterious Nine Palace Steps had also enabled Qing Shui to dodge away from the opponent’s attacks .  

A loud noise rang out . Qing Shui’s Gauging Strike had managed to land on the opponent . The old man’s figure was slightly staggered and backed off . Both his eyes looked a bit lifeless, so much so that he seemed like he had forgotten what he was doing . Taking advantage of this, Qing Shui immediately struck the old man’s neck with his elbow .  

Ka-cha!

Qing Shui didn’t hold back . It only took him one face-to-face clash to snap his opponent’s neck .

It was an instant kill .

The other old man charged toward Qing Shui after seeing this . However, when he saw Qing Shui killing the other old man in front of his eyes, he got really terrified . His strength was almost the other old man’s equal . Without a doubt, he would also share the same fate of being killed instantly .

However, Qing Shui could only do that because he knew that the old man from before had let down his guard . He merely made him pay for his mistakes .

His figure came to a stop . It was when death was near that one would feel fear .

What Qing Shui had intended to do today was to show off his strength . Otherwise, many more people would come here to seek troubles in the future . They would think that he could be bullied easily .

The opponent might have come to a stop, but Qing Shui was still charging forward . A ruthless light immediately flashed across the old man’s eyes . He knew that even if he didn’t make any move, Qing Shui wouldn’t let him go . Still, he wouldn’t just sit still as he waited for his death .

A sword appeared very swiftly in his hand .

With the sword in his hand, the elderly man seemed to have gained back a bit of his confidence . The sword in his hand wasn’t big, yet it was very heavy . It was yellowish-brown in color and was enveloped in faint yellow Qi, so much so that it even made the surroundings seemed a bit blurry .

Earth Trap!

An intense force attacked Qing Shui’s leg . It felt as though he had been bound by something . Both his legs were penetrated with leads . At this moment, the old man dashed toward Qing Shui even faster than before .

Force of the Earth!

Earth’s Rage!

The elderly man abruptly jumped up . The yellowish light around his body became even more intense . The sword in his hand immediately turned into brownish-yellow color . It was emitting abundant aura as it slashed at Qing Shui .

The sword was like a huge mountain at this very moment . It seemed very slow as it was chopping its way down on Qing Shui .

Qing Shui transferred the energy which emitted from his Yin-yang Image into both of his legs . In just a while, he felt that more than half of the binding force had disappeared . But by the time he was done with that, the thick and heavy sword had already finished cutting its way down .  

The Golden Battle Halberd appeared in Qing Shui’s hand and he immediately countered by unleashing the Tyrant Cauldron .  

Dong!

Qing Shui trembled . He abruptly stomped his feet onto the ground . The old man was actually inferior to Qing Shui in terms of strength . Hence, it got everyone surprised when he almost blew Qing Shui back with his attack . That was the main strength of the Earth Energy among the five elements . It was very thick and heavy .

Qing Shui didn’t retreat . Instead, he lunged at the elderly man . Once again, he abruptly slashed down the Golden Battle Halberd with his hand . Wood-attributed energy could be seen being applied across his weapon as well .

Wood worked effectively against earth!

Added on that Qing Shui had more power than the old man, this strike of him caused the old man’s expression to change greatly . The strength of his opponent was initially already supposed to be stronger than himself . Yet, he suddenly came upon the realization that his opponent seemed to have gotten even stronger . Strong to the point that he was starting to feel a bit helpless .

Beng!

A loud explosion appeared as the elderly man got blown away by Qing Shui without any suspense . The Golden Battle Halberd once again attacked abruptly accompanied with the technique Shadow Pursuit .

The elderly man had formidable defensive prowess . After all, he had mainly cultivated earth attributed energy . His strongest feature laid precisely on his powerful defense .

Yet another explosion happened . The elderly man once again got pushed away . It seemed like it was the same as before . However, a trace of blood could already be seen flowing down the corner of the opponent’s mouth . Furthermore, the stream of blood wasn’t stopping . This time, Qing Shui stopped pursuing and attacking . He knew that it was no longer possible for the elderly man to live .

The elderly man dropped down on the floor . His face looked pale and he was spurting out mouthfuls of fresh blood . In the middle part of his body, there were even some organs that had been crushed completely .

Qing Shui had bombarded the elderly man’s organs by using the method of hitting a cow through a mountain . Though it might seem like he was fine from the outside, his organs had actually been crushed .

By the time Qing Shui moved his sight onto the woman from Shang Clan, the woman was already frightened . Her body was shaking . She had no cultivations, though she was still from a rich background . She could see what normal people couldn’t . At this moment, she knew that Qing Shui would dare to kill her .

She was scared . She didn’t want to die . While looking at Qing Shui walking to her, she suddenly kneeled down on the floor, “Please don’t kill me! I don’t want to die . I am sorry for being blind . In the future, I will never trouble you ever again . ”

Qing Shui looked at the woman who might seem to be very quick-witted but was actually very miserable . He didn’t intend to kill her . In fact, he didn’t even hate her . The reason was that this kind of people was unable to leave some memories in Qing Shui’s mind . Very quickly, Qing Shui would forget everything about her .

“Alright, I won’t kill you . Get out . Remember, do not ever let me see you again . Also, grow some brains in that head of yours and don’t boast about your achievements . Otherwise, not only would your family not be able to harm me, I would kill you myself . ” Qing Shui coldly said .

The woman from Shang Caln shook her head very dramatically . After that, she ran away without even turning back her head . The remaining people also wanted to leave but got stopped by Qing Shui .

The legs of all these people had begun to shake as they looked at Qing Shui with panicked looks .  

“Take away these two men! Also, while you’re at it, clean this place!” Qing Shui pointed at the two elderly men whom he had killed .  

Very quickly, these people took away the two elderly men . They even cleaned the bloodstain from before completely, making Qing Shui suspected that whether or not all along, they had been working as cleaners .

After those people had left, both Qing Ci and the Barbarian Emperor headed toward Qing Shui . Qing Ci looked at Qing Shui, “Master, this time, I assume that even Shang Clan will also begin making their moves . ”

As he looked at Qing Ci’s worried look, Qing Shui smiled, “Rest assured . With me here, this entire big city isn’t something to be afraid of . There is no one around here who can lay their hands on me . Focus on your cultivations and medical expertise . In the future, I am going to need you to help me look after the Imperial Cuisine Hall . ”

“I will do it! I will forever be master’s disciple unless master wants me away!” Qing Ci said softly . Behind her gentle voice hid some sort of persistence . Other than that, she also sounded a bit nervous and helpless .
