Ancient Strengthening Technique

Nuolan was brilliant and knew about men’s affairs. She knew that she could not stop them. If she insisted, she would hurt Qing Shui’s pride despite her good intention. Since she could not stop it, she said, “I don’t wanna see anybody hurt.”

The battle in Nine Continents was different from Qing Shui’s the past life. There was no such thing as playing touch. At this level, Origin Qi was the capital. It was not a battle if one did not use the Origin Qi. Thus, Nuolan was just being courteous when she said she did not want anyone to hurt, as it was hard for anyone to hold back in this situation.

Qing Shui and Beihuang Yu nodded. There was a strong and true battle intention in Beihuang Yu’s eyes. He said to Qing Shui, “Please!”

“Please!”

Qing Shui and Beihuang Yu appeared in the sky of the Imperial Cuisine Hall. They flew very high up until the ground was not visible. Nuolan followed too, she could stop them in the case of emergency.

Beihuang Yu took out a snowy white sword which was three feet long. The sword felt unparalleled in his hand and incorporated into his body. That was a feeling, or so to say, a realm.

Qing Shui didn’t dare to be careless as the opponent was a lot stronger than him. Even Qing Shui’s current pride, the resistance power, was much weaker than this man’s. His defense could be broken in one single move of the sword. As Qing Shui rose, he used his total performance boost.

Qing Shui boosted his defensive power completely. The Battle God Halo, the strongest halo which provided a 40% increase of his defensive prowess.

The Battle God Halo was applicable to many people, but it could be used alone too. 

He used the One Origin Steps first. Only one person could use this Formation and the ability boosted was limited. 10% of a single ability was increased such as a 10% increase of defensive power, attacking power, or speed.

Qing Shui increased his defensive power, but with the Formation Eye Stone, Qing Shui increased about 50% of it. It was a surprise, the single Formation became more powerful with the aid of the Formation Eye Stone. Theoretically, the other Formations could increase their power by seven folds, but usually, it could only increase by three folds or so. It could hardly achieve four folds. When there were many people, other Formations would be used.

With that, Qing Shui doubled his defensive power. The increment only applied for the existing defensive power and was non-accumulative. For example, Qing Shui’s existing defensive power excluded the Hell Nightmare Beast’s Foolish Loyalty and others. To be precise, Qing Shui’s existing defensive power was 12.6 billion Dao Force. The defensive power of the Paragon Golden Armour was included since it was the innate energy which infused in his entire body.

Hence, Qing Shui had a total of 35 billion Dao defensive power now. That was not everything. With the Buddha Diamond Seal, his defense increased tremendously again. That was intangible and the increment was unknown. However, his entire thickness was apparently increased.

Qing Shui took out the Golden Battle Halberd and wrapped it around his body, increasing 20% of his speed and attacking power. Qing Shui did everything within seconds, but he felt the aura of Beihuang Yu improved substantially too. The opponent seemed to have many boosting abilities too.

Qing Shui was not in a hurry. He would definitely show the opponent some fights.

Beihuang Yu nodded to Qing Shui, “Come on!”

Qing Shui nodded and raised his hand. The Buddha Wisdom Seal was performed immediately.

Qing Shui’s Divine Weapon and Flying Sword could block a large amount of damage.

The attack of Buddha Wisdom Seal was Qing Shui’s raw attack, but it could reduce the damage of the opponent’s attack. Yet, the attacking power would not reduce, only the damage would be reduced as it reached Qing Shui.

Qing Shui’s attack definitely did not harm Beihuang Yu.

At that moment, Beihuang Yu’s figure flashed and made endless distinct shadows in the sky. He dashed in front of Qing Shui and slashed casually.

Meteor Attack!

Qing Shui opened his eyes widely while using his Heavenly Vision Technique and Minute Subtlety!

Qing Shui evaded the attack closely and used the Area Dominance.

Qing Shui knew the discrepancy between them now. The opponent mastered the Heavenly Dao better than him. He only entered this level of Heavenly Dao recently but Beihuang Yu seemed to have attained it for a long time. He was not weaker than Beihuang Yu in terms of Heavenly Dao, but he was a lot weaker in strength. With the aid of Heavenly Dao, the discrepancy was very prominent now.

After the Area Dominance, Qing Shui used the Emperor’s Qi and Art of Pursuing!

Qing Shui felt much relieved after that. The Area Dominance could reduce 20% of the opponent’s speed and attack. Besides, it could hamper the boosting ability of the opponent by half. With that, Qing Shui weakened the terrifying speed and strength of his opponent greatly.

Beihuang Yu appeared very cautious now, he did not expect Qing Shui to have such a powerful reducing ability. Still, he was confident that he could defeat Qing Shui.

Taiyi Water Splitting!

Beihuang Yu’s speed remained scarily fast, but Qing Shui felt indifferent. After all, Qing Shui was using the Heavenly Vision Technique and the Golden Battle Halberd.

Bang!

Qing Shui could not resist the attack, but he was not hurt because of his powerful defense. He was extremely cautious as he used the Diversion technique in Taichi to its peak.

Beihuang Yu was like a sharp shadow of the sword, he was sharp yet exquisite. Every attack was stunning and amazing. Qing Shui avoided and retreated continuously. The track was a circle; hence, he returned to the starting point after a couple rounds of battle.

This was the essence of Taichi, Qing Shui had a prominent realization.

Dragon-Capturing Hands!

Qing Shui advanced abruptly.

Gouging Strike!

Repulsion Move!

Qing Shui used the Repulsion Move again when he realized no other move could harm Beihuang Yu. His attacking power was still too weak and could not break his defense.

Buddha Bright Seal!

Qing Shui’s continuous attack pushed Beihuang Yu away but he was not harmed. He was only thrown out by Qing Shui’s Repulsion Move.

Beihuang Yu’s defensive power was comparable to Qing Shui’s before the boost. However, Qing Shui could not break his defense with his current attacking power.

Even the Nine Continents Mountain could do no harm, but Qing Shui used it nevertheless.

The Nine Continents Mountain had a strong Shield Attack ability. Though the Absolute Shield Attack was not applicable every single time, there was a slight tendency for it to happen and certain times of Absolute Shield Attack could happen every day.

Qing Shui’s controlling skills coupled with the Repulsion Move and the Shield Attack of the Nine Continents Mountain drove Beihuang Yu into exhaustion at once. He only looked confounded to be beaten, but he was not physically hurt.

Qing Shui smiled, if he called upon the Dragon Slaying Beast and Flying Sword, could he kill Beihuang Yu?
