AST 776 – The Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death Against Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan (6)
With one move, the weakened old man had still managed to send Qing Shui flying, which made him spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Seven Star defence was still not worth anything before the old man who had been weakened.
That sparkling Dragon-Headed Cane gave Qing Shui tremendous pressure. He knew that it must be extremely powerful. He wasn’t sure if the old man had any other treasures on him.
Supreme Treasure… If this Dragon-Headed Cane was not a Supreme Treasure, then he definitely had other Supreme Treasures on him. How should he decide his next move in this battle?
Thunderbolt!
The Thunderous Beast’s speed with its unique traits had continually attacked the old man. However, Qing Shui knew that the Thunderous Beast couldn’t take a single blow from the old man either. After all, the beast was still weak.
Ning!
The Fire Bird’s black fireball was dissipated by the old man’s Dragon-Headed Cane.
Qing Shui frowned as he wiped off the blood from the corner of his lips. It was impossible to use brute force if he wanted to win against this old man. The Seven Star Armored Vest only had seven and a half minutes of use. After the time had passed, the tremendous powers of the old man would increase several times and Qing Shui might get killed instantly.
This was the result of the great difference in their powers. Before absolute power, everything was fleeting like rain and dust. The Thunderous Beast’s thunderbolt attack had still some effect, but its speed was too slow. It was a pity that the Violet Lightning Strike had already been used and it would take another day before he could use it again.
Another 24 hours… Qing Shui immediately called back the Thunderous Beast into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Qing Shui had known of it before but not thought of it until now. He could only take the risk and try it out now. Other than that, there’s no other way out.
The time inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal compared to the time in the real world was 200:1. This meant that one day in the real world was equivalent to 200 days inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Since the Thunderous Beast could only use the Thunderbolt once every 24 hours, then 12 hours inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal would be just a little less than 7.5 minutes, or 7.2 minutes to be more precise. The timing was just right for when the effect of the Seven Star Armored Vest was over.
Now, Qing Shui could only try to drag it out. He still had four Frosted Iron Balls and less than ten Coldsteel Needles which had been tempered with the five colored poison. He was having trouble even when he had used the Diamond Gigantic Elephant’s Instantaneous Diamond Evasion.
Thankfully, Qing Shui’s Primordial Flame Balls could also put his opponent into a bad spot. The old man’s battle experience and cultivation level was the strongest that Qing Shui had seen before, many things seemed to be useless against him.
With a wave of his sleeve, a Coldsteel Needle shot out. The Eastern Palace Aristocrat Clan’s Old Ancestor was also on guard against Qing Shui’s hidden weapons. Those were lethal objects which caught people unaware. Therefore, he had been trying to keep a safe distance from Qing Shui.
Another thing that he had sensed was Qing Shui’s supporting techniques, especially those which could increase defence. All supporting defensive techniques had a restriction to them and could only be used once a day, for no longer than an hour. Usually, the duration would only be for about 30 minutes, with some could last for merely 15 minutes. However, this young man’s supporting techniques were about to reach an hour. Therefore, he knew that they were going to disappear soon.
