Ancient Strengthening Technique - Chapter 2479

Chapter 2479

AST 2479 - Headquarters? Demon City, Divine City

There was naturally no way Qing Shui would handover the Yang Stone . The other party weren’t good people and had even tried to make use of him earlier . To think that they were trying to set their eyes on him just because they weren’t able to team up . Did he look so much like a pushover?

Qing Shui spoke very calmly . The Four Directions Clan were quite strong, but it wouldn’t be that easy for them to lay their hands on him .

West Rendu was very surprised over Qing Shui’s words . He naturally believed that the junior in his clan wouldn’t lie to him . He continued to smile warmly at Qing Shui, saying, “You’re saying that you’re planning to keep our thing for yourself?”

“I said that you’re mistaken . I don’t have anything that belongs to your clan . Do you think that I’m a pushover just because I’m not from this place?” Qing Shui looked at West Rendu and asked .

“Our Four Directions Clans won’t stoop down to bullying others, but we won’t let others bully us either . Don’t force me to make a move as It wouldn’t be good for any of us . ”

“Unreasonable!” Qing Shui shook his head .

West Rendu’s countenance turned grim . He looked at Qing Shui without blinking and took a step forward . Intense pressure gushed out toward Qing Shui, and there seemed to be wind in the air that gathered crazily . Eventually, a strong gale that was like that of a tornado went charging out toward Qing Shui .

“Trifling tricks!” Qing Shui took one step forward .

The tornado-like aura dissipated . However, West Rendu reached out his hand from afar and grabbed out toward Qing Shui . “Take a few attacks from me . ”

Wind God Hand!

West Rendu’s palm launched a Heavenly Technique . It was very big and long, and was also very fast . It contained terrifying powers and also had some amazing uses . It integrated into one with the wind in the sky and had exceptional speed, darting about .

Heavenly Vision Technique!

Qing Shui moved his hands in a simple wave, swaying casually .

Cloud Hands!

To be exact, this hand technique was no longer one that could be properly classified . In the past, it had been Cloud Hands, but thereafter, it evolved to only have a basic form of the Cloud Hands and then eventually losing all form entirely . Great Dao was a stage of simplifying things . This casual hand movement included the Berserk Dragon Fist, Taichi, Back Connecting Fist, Yu Emperor Fist, Solitary Rapid Fist… 

Even the Mountain Push Stance, the Saintly Hands, and the Soft-Tendon Hand Technique had been incorporated in . Despite there being so many things incorporated together, it appeared extremely simple and casual .

“Pa!”

Neither party backed off . They immediately drew back their hands upon contact and then strike again . This was a form of probing and then followed by a close exchange .

“Pa . . . ”

Densely-packed explosive sounds rang out in the sky as both of their hands got into a tangle . If any mistakes were to happen, they would be slapped by the opponents to the state where their bones and tendons would break .

“I’ve underestimated you . ” West Rendu looked at Qing Shui in surprise . This guy was younger than him, yet his strength was astonishing . Although he had yet to use his full powers, it should be the same for the other party as well .

“I have no intention to make enemies, nor do I wish to fight such a meaningless battle . It’d be easy for me to kill you . If you don’t have any treasures that can save your life, then don’t come and fight against me . ” Qing Shui gave it some thought before looking at West Rendu and said .

West Rendu was a proud person and when he heard Qing Shui saying that it’d be easy for Qing Shui to kill him, his countenance was extremely grim . However, he could tell that Qing Shui didn’t seem to be joking and this made him very hesitant . After all, this matter concerned his life . Despite so, it’d be extremely shameful to be scared off by just a few words .

West Rendu was very hesitant, but at this moment, Qing Shui smiled and said, “You can choose to not believe me . To be honest, I’m not fearful toward you guys at all . It’s very easy for me to kill you and yet I can still make a clean retreat . I’m planning to leave this place . My target is the extreme north . ”

“Rendu, come back . Let this youngster and his group leave . ” An old man walked out and said .

“Grandfather!” West Rendu backed off and called out softly .

“Our Four Directions Clans have been offending you . Please don’t hold it against us,” the old man said seriously .

Qing Shui looked at this old man and greeted, “Hello Sir . I’ll thank you for letting us pass then . ”

“I wouldn’t dare to accept your thanks . Please, go ahead!”

Qing Shui nodded and led the group to leave this place .

“Grandfather, why did you let them leave?” West Rendu held great admiration for his grandfather and had always been abiding toward him . He had been baffled earlier, but yet he still listened to the old man’s instructions without any hesitation . After Qing Shui left, he couldn’t help but ask .

“He is an Innate Born Paragon . Thus, it won’t do us any good to offend him . He wants to head to the extreme north where The Paragon God Hall is . He might have come from there,” the old man said softly .

Many people fell silent and entered deep in thought . This old man from the West Clan was an Old Ancestor-level character even amongst the Four Directions Clans . He had the most experience and when the others couldn’t decide on certain matters, they would seek his advice .

…

Qing Shui had no idea why the old man would let him leave . He wouldn’t think that the old man had been scared off by him . Since the old man allowed him to leave, it was for the best . He wasn’t afraid that they would come up with any tricks .

“Boss, why do you think they chose to let us off?” Hao Tian smiled and asked .

“Boss is a demonic character . That old man should have his unique ways to assess people and must have seen that boss is very exceptional . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let us off . ” Ling Chen smiled and said .

Qing Shui shook his head, not knowing what to say .

This old man was special . He had a special ability—the Wisdom Eye . This allowed him to see through people who were terrifyingly strong even if his cultivation wasn’t high . He had seen two of such people in this lifetime, across several centuries, and Qing Shui was the third . The previous two had both become extremely strong existences that the Four Directions Clans couldn’t afford to offend . Furthermore, he felt that Qing Shui seemed to be even more terrifying compared to the other two he had encountered previously . This was also the reason why the old man made this decision .

…

Qing Shui felt a little lost after leaving the Four Directions Region . The Nine Suns Domain was bigger than the Nine Moons Domain, and this was the greatest pinnacle in the nine continents . It was the most prosperous, and there were countless clans who had a long history in martial arts . There were also countless dynasties and countries . The Nine Continents Martial Association, Nine Continents Food Residence, and other organizations could be seen everywhere as well .

The Four Directions Domain was considered to be an inconspicuous place, being just a small area at the Nine Suns Domain’s borders .

"What a big river!" Qing Shui looked at the river in front of him, unable to find words to describe it .

This was a river and not a sea, yet it was even more well-known compared to the sea . Furthermore, it was a legendary existence—the Nine Suns Divine River .

This river was too big, even bigger than ordinary seas . Its length and width were both unknown . This river extended out across the entire Nine Suns Domain and was an important water domain in the Nine Suns Domain .

There was a faint gold color in the river’s water and it tasted sweet, filled with fish and prawns . It was also so deep that one couldn’t see the depths of it . It was said that there was a huge underwater world at the bottom, but they would be situated in specialized areas and would appear in the depths of the rivers . As this river was too wide, even more so than big seas, the dangers would also be in the depths of the river .

There were many boats and ships on the river, pulled by demonic beasts in the water . Some people traveled directly while riding on the demonic beasts . This was like an extremely wide pathway, but weak people wouldn’t dare to venture too deep into it . After all, it was too dangerous .

"Where shall we go? There are too many places, and this place is too big . " Hao Tian clicked his tongue and sighed as he looked at the map .  

“Look, this is the Demon City and this is the Divine City . There are also other places such as Martial City . These places should be where the Demon Gate’s and Divine Palace’s headquarters are located . We should head to the Divine City . ” Qing Shui looked at the place that was slightly north on the Nine Suns Domain, but it wasn’t in the extreme north .
