AST 1327 - A Needle For Life, A Needle For Death, A Good Beginning, The Path of a Physician
The effects of Bloodlion Devil were waning. Pang Shitu felt his body become very heavy. Although it wasn't too much of a restriction, the consumption speed was more than twice the usual for the sake of reaching the state he was in before. This greatly pressured him. He couldn't knock him out even under the Bloodlion Devil state. It would be even more difficult for him to do that now. But he was confident that his opponent wouldn't be able to break his Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation, so he wasn't too worried either.
Instead, he was very concerned about that gigantic violet demonic beast. Luckily, that demonic beast wasn't really that formidable. Otherwise, it could really kill him.
Qing Shui actually wanted to use the bloodthirsty demonic vines very badly. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like it was time to use it yet. So he had to keep thinking up ways to reduce the opponent's speed and reactions. If he could use the bloodthirsty demonic vines to entangle him, Qing Shui was confident in trapping the Pang Shitu for a short period of time even if he was a few times more powerful than Qing Shui.
It was pity that he didn't have the opportunity to do so. After Thunderous Beast unleashed its attack earlier, the opponent had grown more wary of it. Hence, it would be very difficult for him to use the same tactic again, even if the opponent couldn't use his Bloodlion Devil again for a short period of time. Fortunately Qing Shui was in an invulnerable position at this moment.
So, it was very possible for this to remain a stalemate.
Qing Shui was definitely unwilling to keep dragging this on. The result of a draw was actually not bad, although this outcome was slightly out of everyone's expectation. However, based on the current situation, this was pretty much a tie.
Qing Shui had a variety of tactics, Pang Shitu possessed a formidable strength. However, outsiders couldn't really tell. Only a very few of them could truly see how the battle really was going and these people would much rather fight with Pang Shitu than with Qing Shui.
Qing Shui took out the Life and Death Needles.
Life and Death Needles; a needle for life and a needle for death!
Qing Shui had initially wanted this to be a tie between them too but it was nothing more than a sudden initial thought. However, he realized that the Pang Clan would still be humiliated regardless of whether Pang Shitu lost or tied in this battle. For Qing Shui, there was no way he could let himself be defeated either. Since this was the case, he might as well go all out and crush him so completely, winning this battle in a domineering manner.
Qing Shui held the Life and Death Needles in his hands, with the end that was exuding death Qi in front and then charged towards Pang Shitu.
"Good one!"
Pang Shitu had been annoyed about the fact that he couldn't chase after the opponent despite his speed. Although he was stronger than his opponent, he couldn't touch him. He felt as if his powerful punches were all landing on cotton instead.
Pang Shitu's eyes lit up, now that Qing Shui had actually taken the initiative to strike. He had to seize the opportunity. He definitely couldn't afford to let Qing Shui escape again.
'He's closing in!'
Pang Shitu watched as Qing Shui drew closer and closer, having no intention to evade. He wasn't really concerned about a person who couldn't even break his Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation. The only thing he had to do now, was to knock his opponent down in one strike.
Qing Shui knew the intention of his opponent. So just when he was closing in to Pang Shitu, he vanished.
Nine Palace Steps, Vanish!
