Ancient Strengthening Techniques: The Line between Life and Death
"Huh?" Qing Shui tilted his head in surprise, and quickly after, his expression drastically changed to the worst. A gigantic shadow covered the sun and sky as it ruthlessly shot towards him. The force of the wind force generated by the flapping of those huge wings was extremely powerful, to the point where the huge boulders that weighed several hundred jin on the nearby ground also rolled around chaotically, it was as if they were losing gravity.
Qing Shui immediately channeled his inner Qi into the soles of his feet, laying it to the ground. The stone hidden in his right hand was also filled to the brim with Qi circulated from the Ancient Strengthening Technique.
Qing Shui flicked the stone into the gigantic body of the huge flying beast and at the same time, also executed the Ghost Steps, quickly retreating to a certain distance.
Qing Shui decided to target the heart of the flying beast. He knew that with just a stone as small as a weapon, there was no way for him to inflict enormous damage on the beast; he could at most only injure it a little. The only remaining solution is to target critical weak points.
“Xiu!” The stone created a terrifying sound as it floated through the air, at a speed so fast that it almost reached the point of breaking through the sound barrier.
“EEeeKK!” ear-piercing sound came out. Unveiled hints of humiliation and anger filled the cry as the giant creature retreated back into the air.
Qing Shui knew that he had missed the heart of the beast, but looking at the flowing blood, similar to a fountain spray, he knew that at least, he had managed to injure it.
Qing Shui had currently retreated to a safe distance as he took the time to identify the flying beasts hovering in the sky. Upon closer observation, Qing Shui was unceasingly dumbfounded! The wingspan of this bird is approximately 30-40m wide. Its head is similar to that of an eagle and a condor. His entire body was covered in inked black fur with only a white patch on his head.
"Class 3 Beast, White-headed Inked Jade Condor!" Qing Shui took a breath. He finally identified the giant flying bird.
From then on Qing Hai explained the various professions in the Continent of the 9 Provinces to him, Qing Shui did some light research on the profession of beast tamer, as well as on the description of the various beasts inhabiting this world.
Only a ferocious beast that had formed a demon core would be considered to have stepped into the demon beast realm. Even the weakest among demon beasts possessed strength comparable to a Xiantian realm cultivator. The longer the demonic beast lived, the stronger it became, the difference in strength between each level at the demon level could be comparable to the difference between Heaven and Earth!
Qing Shui looked at the White-Headed Inky Jade Condor floating in the air, the gigantic body was huge, only the size of his legs could compare to the circumference of an adult human body.
He remembered reading in the books he had researched before that the White-Head Inky Jade Condor was likely to hold a grudge. The injuries that Qing Shui had sustained earlier were only a small matter. The important thing here was the injury that Qing Shui caused to his pride! From the cold and evil glint in the eyes of the White-Head Inky Jade Condor, Qing Shui knew that the bird would never give up on him, unless one of them died. It was just waiting for an opportunity now to catch Qing Shui off guard.
Moving the stone in his left hand to the right, Qing Shui firmly stared at the White-Head Inky Jade Condor. Perhaps, it was the stone in Qing Shui's hand that made him stop and forced the giant condor bird to act out of caution. Earlier in the exchange, the condor could feel an unnatural force being inserted into the stone that injured him. Once bitten, twice embarrassed. Now that he knew of Qing Shui's strength, he did not want to rush blindly and might suffer injury or death due to the moment of impulse!
Licking her dry lips, Qing Shui felt an overwhelming thirst gushing out from within him. He has not drunk water for the past three days. In these three days, there was not even a trace of another flying beast! Now Qing Shui knew why ..it was probably because of this large condor bird in front of him. Condor must be the predator that scares everything.
It can't go on, he needs water to sustain his life. If there were other animals around, he could still drink their blood for food. A chill flashed through his eyes, "Alright, it seems like today after all, I should think of a way to ensure that this giant condor bird will not escape."
Despite its enormous size, it looked like a fish in water when it was in the air. There was no barrier to his speed! The aura emitted from it was immeasurable tyranny, possessing immense strength, its condor claws could split mountains and crush rocks. There was also a pair of jet-black wings, being struck by it was the same as being crushed into a pile of dust. Also to not ignore the beak of the white-headed Inky Jade Condor, one kiss would be enough to divide a human into two.
What a great presence, a great strength. A sweat rivet flowed down Qing Shui's head, as he pondered on the best way to obtain victory against the condor.
Qing Shui was a bit nervous, but he was not afraid. Not being able to obtain victory today only meant his destiny to die here. “If I can't even win against a single remote-grade flying chicken, why am I still alive? The promise I made to mom was just words filled with empty air? "
However, it seemed that Qing Shui's curse was ineffective.
After a while, Qing Shui knew that this was not the solution, he could not stand there like an idiot allowing this hairy bastard to anger him to death!
After thinking for a moment, Qing Shui decided to lie down on the ground. The remains of the 100 crushed jin stones had been swept away by the force of the strong winds produced by this White-headed Inky Jade Condor when it first swept to attack Qing Shui earlier. However, in an instant as he lay down, he also secretly smashed part of the stone cliff, hiding a small stone in his left hand.
Qing Shui closed his eyes, and took the risk. He did not believe that the smoothness of his current body with the strength of a tier 3 Ancient Strengthening Technique would be able to defend against the sharp claws and pointed beak of the White Head Inky Jade Condor. It was not an ordinary claw or beak, it was very possible, even if it was Qing Shui, he could not withstand a single blow.
Patience, Qing Shui had no flaws. The fact that he diligently spent all his free time in cultivating already proved that the power of his will was beyond the norm. He can be patient if he wants to.
Time passed as the minutes passed, Qing Shui narrowed his eyes as he peeked out from the corner of his eyes. Her body tensed up, Qing Shui was ready to capture any opportunity that appeared to perform a one hit kill!
“Damn it, is he still interested in fighting? Fuck his mother, stay in the same position, not get off or fly. " Qing Shui cursed.
Perhaps, some Gods heard Qing Shui's prayers as his curse gradually began to affect the bird. The white-headed inked jade condor slowly began to circle closer and closer.
"This cunning furry bastard, just wait till I catch him!" Qing Shui muttered hatefully.
White-Headed Inky Jade Condor was not stupid, it seemed that he was trying to test the water. Spin closer and jump out of range. This continued for some time before seemingly deciding to go all in. With a burst of speed similar to lightning, it finally flew towards Qing Shui.
This was the moment he had been waiting for! Qing Shui's eyes opened, as he flicked the two stones in his hand, leading to the eyes of the White-Headed Inky Jade Condor!
10 M distance reached in an instant! As he flicked the stone, Qing Shui curled up his arms and legs, adopting a bunny posture as the Qi from the Ancient Strengthening Technique circulated and permeated his body.
"EeeKK"
A shrill voice cried out in surprise, but the large body of the white-headed condor did not even slow down in the slightest. In fact, his speed had even increased by one gear!
At the critical moment of impact, Qing Shui's body was akin to a goldfish leaping out of the water. Gathering the Qi in his arms and legs, and borrowing the force of the collision, Qing Shui violently used his limbs to bounce off. The rebound is amazing, both arms seem to be broken at any time.
Because of that miss, White-Head Inky Jade Condor screeched in displeasure.
Qing Shui looked down at the red patches that were blooming in front of his chest, there were wounds all along the legs! Blood was unceasingly flowing out from him. Although he managed to avoid the most severe impact, when Qing Shui dodged frantically, the tip of the condor claw still managed to pierce through his chest. The injury is deep! Even though he managed to escape certain death, he still suffered heavy injuries!
Seeing the blood flowing endlessly from the wound, Qing Shui shivered from the immense pain as his chest was sliced open. Feeling bitter in his heart, could it be that he would really lose his life today? Just then, many things flashed in his eyes, especially Qing Yi's thoughts. Before she left, Qing Shui still repeatedly assured her that he would take care of himself. He was so unwilling to die here just like that!
Qing Shui hadn't helped Qing Yi fulfill her wish, he couldn't die here. If he were to die, what would happen to Qing Yi? He would lose support, his only flesh and blood taken from him. Just imagining that scenario happening is actually more painful than being split. What would happen if someone stepped on it? No, he gritted his teeth, he can't die here.
Regardless of his will, Qing Shui's consciousness started to become blurred, the blood flowing out from his chest dyed his entire body red, red, and at the same time some of his blood also splashed onto the worn and tattered Yin-Yang Pendant he always wore. around his neck ...
