Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Scene of Tragedy, Uncertain Death of Huoyun Liu-Li
The next few days passed peacefully. Qing Shui wandered around during the day. He basically stabilized his Crane form and practiced Soaring Crane Steps. At the same time, he was watching the last minute cultivations of the other two women.
Amongst these few days, Qing Shui forged a helmet in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. However, it produced the same effect as the armor.
Effect: 10% increase in defense in protection, strength, durability, and agility.
Qing Shui was a little speechless. This helmet is too disrespectful. Although the increase in defensive power was acceptable, the increase in other properties was too little. However, Qing Shui still forged some of the remaining items as every small increment counted.
’’ Qing Shui, I'm bored, let's go out and have some fun! ’’ Huoyun Liu-Li pouted on Qing Shui after breakfast.
The sun was still high and Qing Shui realized that/it they had worn out from the past few days. Looking at the hopeful eyes of Huoyun Liu-Li, he could only agree to get some fresh air with them. After all, it was a stressful period.
Qing Shui was still worried that their/her Immortal Sword Sect would catch them to threaten Canghai, or directly kill some of them.
’’Remember to wear your battle skirt and bring your weapons!’ ‘Qing Shui reminded attentively. It's just just in case.
Qing Shui, Huoyun Liu-Li and Canghai Mingyue were planning to visit the Southern Ancient Pass, which was not too far away. Before the trio left, Canghai urged them to be careful and return immediately.
The streets were bustling as usual, and the crowd never thinned out, everyone was busy with their own belongings. The loud cries from sales, prices, and sounds became an awkward yet harmonious sight.
Huoyun Liu-Li was very enthusiastic today. He dragged Qing Shui and Canghai Mingyue over to see everything, but he rarely bought anything. Canghai Mingyue did not seem to be interested in these things. Unless he was pulled by Huoyun Liu-Li, he wouldn't be too serious looking through the merchandise.
They wandered along the Ancient Southern Pass through countless doors, not knowing how far they walked or how many paths they passed. The appearance of Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li as well as their beauty attracted a lot of attention. Qing Shui, who was behind her, stared at her, envied, feeling jealous, berated and cursed.
The next road they entered was empty. It was as if they had stepped into another dimension even though the streets were still very wide.
That sudden change made Qing Shui feel a little strange. Although similar streets were close to each other, one was bustling with noise while the other was completely empty.
’’ Why is there no one on this road? ’’ Qing Shui asked Canghai Mingyue. Qing Shui realized that/that he could jokingly call her Mingyue. When talking about serious chatter, he was not too sure to call out to her. QIng Shui could naturally address Huoyun Liu-Li as Liu-Li.
Canghai Mingyue paled. How did they get here unconsciously? When she was about to speak to Qing Shui, an unexpected voice was cut off.
’’ This street is known as Bloody Street. Generally every fight is settled here. It might look clean here but it is actually already stained with blood! ‘’
The voice was filled with enormous hatred!
Qing Shui looked at the row of white-clothed figures with long swords emerging from a nearby corner. They were led by two elderly men, one being a refined human being, the other more formidable. The owner of the voice is a delicate old man.
Qing Shui's facial expression changed, the other two women paled even more and looked at Qing Shui. This made Qing Shui unsure whether he should be happy or depressed about it. The reliance on the gazes of the two women should have made him feel proud as a man, yet, he did not possess such an ability.
Qing Shui forced his gaze to no less than twenty people from the Immortal Sword Sect, where among them were two prominent elders.
’’ You all will really try hard to catch us. How freely you wait for us every day. Is this interesting? ” Qing Shui frowned at the old man opposite him who looked delicate yet with a dark expression on his face.
”followed you? Do you think you deserve this problem? We'll finish you all in two days' time, but since we met you today, it might as well grant my granddaughter her wish! ” The elder on the left spat, his hateful gaze was enough to make one's hair stand straight .
’’ Elder Ying, not the Ancestor saying do not do anything wrong punkurang? ’’the blisters that remained silent this whole time frowned.
’’ The Ancestor has already instructed to capture them all in these two days. If we make the three of them stay here forever, then our task is done. Surely the Ancestor will appreciate both of us well. Elder Sun, don't tell me that we can't even make these three stay. ” Elder Ying said to the other old man in disgust.
”Good..”.
” If we both take care of these three today, I will agree to your terms of it, ” Elder Ying casually said.
’’Are you serious about this?’
” This is just a Xiantian level fighting technique, ’’ Elder Ying said to Elder Sun while holding his gaze on Qing Shui and his friends darkly.
” Qing Shui, what do we do? ” Huoyun Liu-Li asked calmly even though she was terrified.
Qing Shui actually had no good ideas. The two old men standing before him were masters of the Martial King class. Although they were Martial King Grade 1, there were two of them. Qing Shui thought he could at least have a chance if there was only one of them.
It was already difficult to escape now, even if he called Fire Birdnow, he predicted that his/her opponents would not allow the three of them time to climb onto his back. But Qing Shui still called out to Fire Bird, hoping that at least two women could succeed. They should still escape if the situation allows for it.
Unfortunately his opponents ran towards him as soon as Qing Shui made his move. Qing Shui smiled wryly. He could only push the two women to the side helplessly, at the same time making sure that/it Fire Bird could come close enough to let the two on his back.
Qing Shui had planned this. If the two women managed to climb onto the Fire Bird, Qing Shui would order the Fire Bird to go to Canghai's house. While he could escape with the help of Soaring Crane Steps and the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
’’ Elder Sun, leave this little boy to me. You and the Iron Feather Hawk you can take the bird and the two little girls. ’’ Elder Ying said while his dried palm stretched out toward Qing Shui, his breath gasping like white smoke.
Qing Shui was cautious in his first match against a Martial King Grade opponent. Even if he was only a Cla.s.s 1 Martial King, his strength was boundless compared to Xiantian. It was an insurmountable gap between them.
Accompanied by the roar of the tiger, a layer of faint yellow gas emitted from the claws of the Qing Shui tiger shape. Until now Qing Shui's strength had reached 30,000 jin of whooping power. It was not much of a difference compared to the strength of a low-level Martial King opponent. Qing Shui could fight without holding back the round this time.
The tiger form of Qing Shui was perfect. The ferocious tiger was known as the Beast King in the past. Even a normal claw attack could reach the strength of two thousand jin. Siberian Tigers and Bengal Tigers can grow up to three meters in height and five hundred to six hundred jin. A normal claw attack could reach a strength of a ton. The title of Beast King was inappropriate.
Until now Qing Shui's strength had surpassed that of a ferocious tiger. After all, if a ferocious tiger in the past would have been brought here, it would not have been able to defeat a boar. However there were powerful tiger species here, such as the giant White Jade Snow Tiger of LuanLuan.
Qing Shui felt his blood bubbling, but the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique in his body instantly calmed him down. He thought: ” Is this Martial King even capable? To fight one on one with himself, did he even use his full strength? ’
In Qing Shui's surprise, Elder Ying was even more shocked. Even if it wasn't part of his plan to take this child's life, he would at least severely damage it. It was from his expectations to see this young man actually standing up against his attack.
After this meeting, Qing Shui knew where he stood. He had always wanted to battle against the newly promoted Martial King.
When Elder Ying suddenly took out his sword during his exchange with Qing Shui, Qing Shui nearly snapped because the sword looked like the Heaven Shattering Blade.
It was a large, unsophisticated and heavy knife. Qing Shui estimated the length to be at least two meters, about a foot in width, and an inch in thickness except for the edge of the blade. The entire blade seemed to be cast in bronze and exuded an air of strength. It was a dominating sight.
It seemed like liKe he had cultivated lifting heavily as if it was light. After all, having significant strength did not need to mean one could use heavy weapons. Even if one could barely use heavy weapons, he would not be able to master them. Even a person with 100 jin strength would not be able to swing a 10 jin heavy weapon for a long time. To be able to reach a ratio of 1:100 of a weapon's mass to a wielder's power was already considered extremely powerful.
Qing Shui had already struggled to use the Great Sword which weighed 2000 jin with its incredible strength of 300,000 jin. In general, anyone who could use a heavy weapon was either born with superpowers or had experienced a strong cultivation to the point of being able to lift any weight as if it was light. So it is important to note there is a significant difference in output power between a 50 jin weapon and a 500 jin weapon even if they are wielding with the same power.
Qing Shui silently raised his own sword, the Big Dipper Sword. He had already cultivated the sword, which was no less than 2000 jin in weight, to a profound level.
Qing Shui knew that/that Elder Ying's trump card should have been located on his sword because he unleashed his sword without hesitation right after their clash. It seemed like he wanted to settle the score quickly.
The chirrrrp!
A sharp cry from a bird sounded. Qing Shui looked up and could not help but laugh. The Black Iron Eagle that was much smaller in size than the Fire Bird tried to extinguish the flames on its own body in the sky. And the Fire Bird, which was not too far away, exhaled a purple fireball.
Violet Flame!
Qing Shui knew that/it Fire Bird could breathe fireballs, he just did not expect that/it flame would be purple and it was the speed of light. It will then explode when it comes into contact with the target.
It was just that he did not know how many times Fire Bird could inhale this kind of purple fireball. A burst of aura could be felt in the air. It turned out that Elder Ying swung his sword at the moment when Qing Shui was distracted and built all the energy in his body into his crown.
He did not bother to hide his aura because he wanted to overwhelm Qing Shui. The aura was so powerful that even the normal disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect retreated a few steps.
Qing Shui was extremely vigilant and on top of that, did not let his guard down, so he easily slashed the Big Dipper Sword in his hand upwards. Until now Qing Shui had already cultivated lifting weights as if light to a significant degree.
The noise of metal clashing against each other pierced the ears. Qing Shui saw that his/her Big Dipper Sword was not scratched at all and then realized that his/her opponent's giant blade was equally not peeled off.
Saber Tyrannical Qi, Power stance!
The first method to uncover the blade technique was to become stronger and have a stronger position than the opponent to subdue the opponent with absolute strength. The second is to avoid the attitude of the opponent. Revealed with technique, Unravel Stance!
Power and technique are contradictions themselves. Whether they are strong or weak all depends on the user himself.
Qing Shui's first technique to reach the Universe was the most basic Basic Sword Principle. When Qing Shui dodged Elder Ying's blade and countered it with his own attack, Elder Ying looked as if he had seen a ghost.
’Unclear Natural Basic Sword, You are not a human, boy!’ ”Older Ying's cry left Qing Shui speechless. This old fucking grandpa scolded him during a life and death duel …
Qing Shui felt extremely worried when he realized that/it was Canghai Mingyue already fighting Elder Sun. Fortunately, Fire Bird had already crippled the opponent's Iron Feather Eagle and was able to strike simultaneously with Canghai Mingyue so the fight was in his favor. On the other hand, Huoyun Liu-Li could only stand by the side horribly. The difference between their abilities was simply too great. Another normal disciple who proved useless in a fight blocked Huoyun Liu-Li's escape route instead.
Elder Sun, this child is persistent. Hurry up and take care of the girls and help me out here. ” Elder Ying was unable to do anything other than defend himself against Basic Sword Leader Qingai of the Realm of Death and only managed to smuggle one of the two counterattacks in between.
Qing Shui did not expect that his/her Basic Sword Realm was much stronger than the Truth Realm in actual combat as well. His strength had at least increased by 20%, even though it was only stable in the Obscure Realm.
Although he could hold his opponent at bay but he could not kill him. Qing Shui actually did not manage to take out the hidden weapons. Although retrieving items from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal did not require a physical entrance, it still required a short period of time. However, that is no longer the case now. Even entering the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal physically now would require ” one ton ” time. This was completely forbidden during the battle of experts, it could steal lives in an instant.
Just in an actual short fight, Qing Shui felt that his/her sword techniques had become more unique than from his own cultivation than before. It was a strange feeling, as if it was a very proper judgment and handling.
It was no wonder so many Martial Kings were also heading towards the Obscure Realm. Only a Clear Basic Sword Chief could push a Cla.s.s 1 Martial King to the point where he could only fight.
’’ This red-haired beast is aggressive. The foolish fool child had a strange technique and was not slow. You hang in there in a minute, I can win this in 30 moves. ’’ Elder Sun gasps furiously.
Qing Shui grew even more worried after hearing Elder Sun's cry. His Soaring Crane Steps had only done a little damage to his opponent, and now even all of his attacks were blocked by that gigantic sword.
Qing Shui felt that/that this old geezer was just stalling for time. His giant sword was like a shield, its defense so strong that not even a drop of water could pass through it. It looked like this old geezer was very experienced from the countless battles and battlefields he had experienced over the years.
’’ Liu-Li! ’’
Qing Shui heard a sudden cry that rang along with a sharp bird cry!
Qing Shui's stomach was upset. He turned around and was greeted only red …
Huoyun Liu-Li was still suspended in midair, with her blood splattered all over the place. His ribs and ribs were completely shattered. The old man made a deep wound that ran from his battle skirt to the right corner of his lips and then to the corner of his left eye. The cut is so deep that the bones are visible in front of the eyes.
Qing Shui stared at the tragic scene in the sky in agony. He could only watch in horror as Huoyun Liu-Li was thrown aside, motionless and her death erratic.
’’ Liu-Li .. ’’
