AST 2389 – Three Inches Divine Soldier Soaring Blade, Ox-Headed Beast’s Surrender

When the chain wrapped its way around Qing Shui, he felt it immediately that it wasn’t anything ordinary . It was extremely tough . Qing Shui attempted to break it by force but failed .

It didn’t end there either . Qing Shui could feel the chain getting tighter by the minute, as though it wanted to bind him until he snapped .

“Haha, don’t think about struggling anymore . This is a Soul Attracting Chain . If trapped by it, you’d be bound to death even if you were a God . ” the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast laughed, proud of his own work .

Qing Shui’s body was strong enough to resist the Soul Attracting Chain’s constant binding temporarily . This weapon was like a living snake . If your body contracted with your breaths, then it’d take the opportunity to bind even tighter .

This was truly the result of being careless . No, this was the result of him underestimating the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast’s powers . This Soul Attracting Chain was truly a strange weapon .

Dragon Slaying Beast!

Qing Shui didn’t know what else he could do and thought of using the Dragon Slaying Beast’s sharp horns . It was said that those could break apart a Divine Artifact . He wondered if it could break apart this Soul Attracting Chain .

The Dragon Slaying Beast now had 15% of primordial bloodline, and its powers were much stronger than before .

The Dragon Slaying Beast understood Qing Shui’s words and used its spiral sharp horns to attack the Soul Attracting Chain immediately . Thereafter, it spun its body like a top .

The Soul Attracting Chain was truly unusual . The Dragon Slaying Beast’s horn had broken apart many things but had met its match now . They could hear the sharp sound of friction and see dust from the Soul Attracting Chain, but at this rate, it would require a few days to break it .

The Dragon Slaying Beast seemed displeased by the situation at hand and bit the Soul Attracting Chain .

Qing Shui wasn’t in time to stop it and could only hear a loud, crisp sound .

It didn’t break, but a piece of it was chipped off .

The speed of its current progress was quick . At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before it could snap the Soul Attracting Chain .

The Transforming Ox-Headed Beast regarded the Soul Attracting Chain as a treasure . Watching it get chipped from the bite was a greater heartache than witnessing the death of the Demon Gate’s Sect Leader . He didn’t feel much about the latter .

“Stop, stop, stop…”

The Transforming Ox-Headed Beast hastily stopped the progress before retrieving the Soul Attracting Chain . This was his weapon and a Divine Artifact . Its powers were formidable and he never expected to meet something which could bite through the Soul Attracting Chain .

Berserk Dragon Fist!

Qing Shui appeared before the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast and struck .

Even though it had already controlled its height, the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast was still over three meters tall . Its body was his capital and as he saw Qing Shui’s fist, he struck back without hesitance . Its fist was no smaller than a human head .

Thump!

A dull sound of collision rang out . Qing Shui didn’t move and hadn’t retreated from the impact . He didn’t suffer any damage either . The Divine Soldier Soaring Blade’s weakening had caused his opponent’s strength to not surpass his own . Naturally, with that amount of strength, it wouldn’t be as strong as Qing Shui and wouldn’t be able to shake him up .

Gouging Strike!

Qing Shui’s palms were extremely agile . Complementing it with his movements, the attack against the sturdy body struck with a bang . This time, the effect of vertigo lasted a little longer but only for two blinks of an eye .

Mountain Push Stance!

Qing Shui used a seemingly cumbersome technique this time . The Mountain Push Stance was a skill which concealed its true capabilities .

Boom!

Its profound and horrifying power was like being crushed by a mountain . The Transforming Ox-Headed Beast was forced back by the strength . At first, he had wanted to counter against Qing Shui’s strength, but he kept retreating despite it . Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to resist against this Mountain Push Stance and was pushed back in a sorry state . If he was crushed by this Mountain Push Stance, it’d be over for him .

Qing Shui wouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste . He struck with the Combination Techniques . Once the Combination Techniques were unleashed, they would attack in chains: breaking the target’s balance, attacking its weaknesses and throwing them in a fluster . The continuous techniques were endless .

Thump!

Qing Shui’s One Inch Punch landed near the kidneys, almost making the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast fall apart . In an instant, its body turned into a huge Ox-Headed Beast which stood over ten meters in height . It was strong and muscular with two thick legs . One leg stomped towards Qing Shui in anger .

Windwhisk Willow!

Qing Shui deduced that it would take quite a long time for them to fight with just their fists and kicks . With a shift of his mind, the Divine Soldier Soaring Blade made its appearance .

Swish!

Pfft!

The speed of the Divine Soldier Soaring Blade increased significantly as Qing Shui’s powers did . This was also partly due to the support given from the cave’s Dantian .

It penetrated one of Transforming Ox-Headed Beast’s legs!

The Transforming Ox-Headed Beast glanced at the three-inch-long sword .

Yes, three inches . Qing Shui’s Divine Soldier Soaring Blade was that size now . He had once thought that the bigger the size, the better, but he saw the errors of his mindset now . The Divine Soldier’s Soaring Blade became smaller with increasing power . It was now only three inches long, with a sturdy and incredibly sharp body .

The penetration left the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast in immense pain, but the damage wasn’t too much .

Yet, Qing Shui smiled . “I’ve severed off a tendon this time round . Next time, it will cut through your bones . ”

Qing Shui had the ability to do as he said . It did sever off the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast’s tendon previously and the fact made the latter afraid . What if it penetrated through his heart or throat?

“Stop, stop . I lose . I’m willing to serve you . ” Transforming Ox-Headed Beast shouted frantically .

Qing Shui didn’t expect the chance to tame the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast to come so easily . However, it had a human form and it was different from demonic beasts . It was said that the Nine Continents had Ox-Headed humans . It was good to have something this strong serving him, so Qing Shui agreed . With him around, the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast wouldn’t dare to be rash .

Soul Suppression!

This was one of Qing Shui’s Ten Caves abilities . It was like a Divine Sense, locking onto the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast, making it impossible for him to betray Qing Shui . This ability made sure that it was impossible for servants to betray their owners and wouldn’t affect them in any other way . In fact, they wouldn’t even know about this Divine Sense . This was the most relaxed ritual . After all, non-betrayal was the most basic thing so this ritual didn’t amount to much .

Following this, the people at Demon Gate knew that they were done for . They left it up to the Divine Palace to handle things from here . Without the Three Perfections Demon King and the Transforming Ox-Headed Beast, the Demon Gate was doomed .

The Exploding Arrow Battle God spoke gleefully to Qing Shui . “Your ambitions lie in the Nine Continents, as do a few of the people I have here . I know you won’t be able to stay here and become our Palace Lord, but I wonder if you could pick some of the people present to see the world and contribute to the Divine Palace?”

Qing Shui smiled . “Elder, you’re too modest . There are many inheritors of the Divine Palace and you could fight against the Demon Gate anywhere . They each have their own usage . Since Elder shows such great regard, then I’ll bring along two people . I can’t possibly leave you as a leader to none . ”

“Alright, two then . Take a look and see who will be suitable . ” Exploding Arrow Battle God snickered .

“Hao Tian, why don’t you decide? Your judgement is better . ” Qing Shui smiled .

Hao Tian looked towards Qing Shui in surprise before giving him a thumbs up . “You’re truly a brother!”

Hao Tian put on an act and walked around before finally stopping in front of Tang Xi . “Miss Xi’er, would you want to go with me?”

It was only natural that Tang Xi was willing, but the man’s words had a hint of ambiguity behind it and his face was tinted red . She wasn’t oblivious and could tell that Hao Tian had feelings towards her . Tang Xi didn’t think too badly of him as well . He was humorous, decent in both appearance and abilities, and didn’t seem to have any other woman by his side . She glanced towards him as she blushed ever so slightly . “I do!”
