Chapter 2476

AST 2476 - North Wind, West Ox, Yang Stone

It didn't take long for Qing Shui and the others to arrive where the sound was coming from . The two parties were engaged in battle . Or rather, it should be said that one side was on self-defense while the other was attacking .

Ten or more people were being surrounded and attacked, and they were now putting up a difficult fight .

"North Wind, don't be resisting anymore . It's futile . " A man standing at the back said proudly .

"West Ox, you despicable guy . If you're capable, then let's have a duel . Launching an assault on us and winning us with numbers is something that won't convince me even if I were to die . "

The man called North Wind had a burly build . Holding a huge Mountain Piercing Axe, he cleared up a safe area .

"Haha, won't be convinced even if you were to die? I'm not trying to convince you . I just want you to die . The winners are the ones who get the final say . It's fine even if we were to win with numbers, as long as I can kill you . Does it matter what method I use?" West Ox laughed happily .

. . .

"They are the North Clan and the West Clan from the Four Directions Region from the deepest parts of the Nine Suns Domain . These are the four clans who dominate over the Four Directions Region in the north, south, east, and west respectively . Their relationship has always been good, and they have been united to be on the same stand . How could something like this possibly happen?” The Immortal Painter Battle Goddess was baffled by the scene .

"If one party can dominate over the Four Directions Region by themselves, they'll definitely get rid of the other clans . " Qing Shui shook his head . “Regardless of where the place was, interests and benefits were the most important . The reason the Four Directions Clans could be on good relations was because they shared common interests . Once the balance tilted, something would definitely happen . ”

Qing Shui didn't wish to get involved in something like this . After all, there was no justice nor evil in a battle like this . It was like what West Ox had said, the winner had the last say and that living was the most important . What he said made a lot of sense . However, Qing Shui didn't really wish for things to be like this .

Nothing could be accomplished without norms or standards . Regulations were required even in a dog-eat-dog world . Moreover, countless people were using the same methods as West Ox . Everyone hoped that they were the ones using such a method and that others didn't .  

"If you were to hand over the Yang Stone to us, we can spare your lives," said West Ox viciously .

"Dream on . Even if I were to die, I won't hand over this thing to a despicable person like you . " North Wind was already injured .

"Since you're in such a hurry to die, then go on . I'll still be able to get my hands on it after you've died . " West Ox was in no hurry .

"That leaves me with no choice . Friend, take this and run . Run to the Four Directions Region and to the North Clan . " North Wind tossed an interspatial silk sachet over in Qing Shui's direction .

Qing Shui's eyes narrowed . This person was trying to push him into a pit . The Yang Stone might not necessarily be in this interspatial silk sachet and could be just a feint . After having traveled for so many years, Qing Shui was no longer an ignorant young kid .

"Friend, toss the item over and I won't give you any trouble . " West Ox looked calmly at Qing Shui's group and said; his voice was filled with great confidence .

It turned out that the reason for their dispute was the Yang Stone . Qing Shui and the others had been talking about the Yang Stone a moment ago . It was a really good stuff and was said to be divine grade metal ore that had dropped from the sky . It could be used to forge divine weapons, divine armors, or other divine treasures .

"If I were to run away with this interspatial silk sachet, I might end up getting killed . I'd not die an aggrieved death . " Qing Shui tossed the interspatial silk sachet back to North Wind .

Although this person appeared to look righteous, he turned out to be a scheming person as well . He called West Ox despicable, but it seemed that he was no better himself .

"I was just testing out how courageous you are . Not bad, take this and run!" North Wind tossed out another interspatial sachet .

Qing Shui caught it and looked . He saw that there was a big piece of stone in the sachet that was flashing with a bright glow . It seemed as if it was burning in golden flames while being surrounded with a thick layer of something that seemed like stones .

This piece of stone wasn't small, being two meters in both length, width, and height . It had an irregular shape that was closer to a cube . When the Immortal Painter Battle Goddess and the Myriad Treasures Battle God saw it, they were both taken by surprise . The value of such a big piece of Yang Stone was definitely very terrifying .

"Does this Yang Stone belong to me now?" Qing Shui looked at North Wind .

"Of course, but it's hard to say whether you'd be able to leave . If you can run to the Four Directions Region's North Clan, they can ensure your safety . " North Wind smiled .

"He's from the North Clan . If you were to run to his place, the Yang Stone will still be taken away by them . Why don't you hand it over to our West Clan? You won't be in any danger either," West Ox said .

"I also want this Yang Stone . " Qing Shui tossed the interspatial silk sachet into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal .

"Kid, you better think it over carefully; wealth can bring you trouble . It'd be bad if you eventually lose both your life and your wealth . You might as well give it to our West Clan, and I can give you some other compensation . " West Ox frowned . He had thought that the other party would hand over the item if he were to say a few words . This thing didn't belong to this young man in the first place, and no one dared to fight for things with the West Clan in the Four Directions Region .

The Four Directions Region was formed from a stretch of cities and was a subsidiary domain that came under the Nine Suns Domain . There were many other domains that came under the Nine Suns Domain, and these domains would be formed from countless cities, towns, fields, as well as mountains and rivers .

"That guy from earlier has given it to me . He doesn't wish to hand it over to you, so it'd be bad for me to give it to you . Moreover, this thing is now mine, so why do I have to give it to you?” said Qing Shui as a matter-of-factly .  

West Ox wasn't the only one stunned . Even North Wind was also in a bit of a daze; thus, they had stopped their battle . Since the Yang Stone was no longer in North Wind's hand, there wasn't a need to continue with the battle . The potential casualty wouldn't be worth it .

"North Wind, why do I feel that we've been done in? Give it a try . See if you can get it back . " West Ox smiled and said .

"Even if I were to ask for it back, it'd still be snatched by you . I might as well don't want it," answered North Wind .

"Hmph, a feigned gentleman . You'll use unscrupulous means to snatch it back later," said West Ox in contempt .

"If there's nothing else, we'll be making a move first . " Qing Shui seemed to want to pass by them and leave .

"This place is within the Four Directions Region . I didn't expect that there's someone who can neglect our Four Directions Clans like this . I'll say it once more: leave the Yang Stone behind!" West Ox said coldly .

"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? How many times have I said this? I need this Yang Stone," Qing Shui said .

North Wind chuckled, "Haha, head been kicked by a donkey . . . Moreover, it should still be a small and wild donkey . "

"Do it . Kill him . Kill all the men and leave the women behind . " West Ox looked at Qing Shui's group . The women in their group were really unrivaled beauties, and the people who could bear to kill them would either be women or men who had a different inclination in their sexual orientation .

Qing Shui's eyes narrowed . It was one thing for them to want to kill him, but if they wished to set their eyes on his women, then they'd be courting death .

Stellar Transposition!

Qing Shui turned toward the people who were charging at him and struck with Stellar Transposition .

It was an extremely brilliant sight, like that of the Milky Way and setting sun .

Although these people were also experts, they were still a far cry from people at Qing Shui's level . The Stellar Transposition would just kill them instantly .

About 40 people had come charging over, but all of them were practically killed from this attack . Blood came raining down, and then they disappeared .

Both North Wind and West Ox frowned . This guy was very strong, and his strength even caused their hearts to palpitate; they felt uneasy . Silence filled up the place and all of them didn't budge at all .

"Don't be courting trouble; otherwise, I'll make sure that you guys won't be able to live . " Qing Shui chuckled and led the others to leave . No one dared to make a move; even West Ox had tensed up . However, West Ox tried very hard to control himself and not allow himself to charge toward Qing Shui .
