Ancient Strengthening Technique

Qing Shui’s words caused the people on the opposite side of the door to feel infuriated. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to He Fan. Right now, that man was looking at Qing Shui with fury in his eyes, just like a ferocious beast wanting to rip apart its prey.

”Kid, do you know who you’re talking to?” The man’s tone was very cold.

”Are you very famous? Because I really have no idea. Oh, right. You haven’t answered my question earlier. What are you guys here for?” Qing Shui gave a natural smile and said.

”You’ve killed a member of the He Clan. No one can save you. I’ll let you know what a foolish thing you’ve done.” The middle-aged man said this and walked towards Qing Shui.

His movement was very unique, having a strange rhythm. As he advanced, an intense pressure pressed forth. With each step he took, his strength would be raised by a notch.

Mortal Steps!

These were the Mortal Steps, the ultimate skill unique to the Mortal City’s He Clan. It was a popular legacy and was also what the He Clan relied on to establish their standing in the Mortal City.

”He is He Yining, a core member of the He Clan and one of the experts of his generation. His name in the He Clan is also well-known,” Someone exclaimed.

”So he’s He Yining... 20 years ago, he wiped out an entire clan for a woman. If a man would do that for me, I’ll definitely marry him.” A plump lady said intoxicatedly.

”Woman, take a look at yourself. This won’t happen unless the other party is blind.” A man who was like a skinny monkey smiled and said.

”Hmph, I wouldn’t fancy the person if he were a monkey like you. You’ll be crushed easily. What can you do with that small body of yours?” The fat lady looked at the skinny man in despise.

”What do you know? This is toned.” The skinny man raised his head and said.

”Toned? It probably won’t be long before you die from being too ’toned’.” The fat lady threw a glance toward the man’s lower half and commented.

...

This man was very strong. Qing Shui realized that there were quite a number of people at the Nurture God Realm in the Mortal City. With each increasing tier to the Nurture God Realm, the difference in strength would be very great. Moreover, the man should be at tier five of the Nurture God Realm, having extremely commanding strength.

This was in addition to his Mortal Steps. Qing Shui had no choice but to take this seriously. However, Qing Shui still had aces up his sleeves and thus wasn’t anxious. He struck out a Dragon-capturing Hands to start his assault.

Roar!

A loud dragon’s roar rang out, and a huge golden dragon charged out toward He Yining, baring its teeth and claws.

Pa!

Qing Shui’s attack’s purpose was primarily trying to cut off his Mortal Steps.

He Yining had demonstrated the Nine-Mortal Steps. Qing Shui had no idea exactly what level He Yining could bring out from the Nine-Mortal Steps.

He Yining stiffened and a fiery gleam shot out from his eyes as a huge human figure appeared behind him.

”Our He Clan is the dominator over the Mortal City, standing on the shoulders of giants. Give it another try.” He Yining’s deep voice rang out and he once again charged out toward Qing Shui.

Violent auras were gushing like tidal waves, filling up the place rapidly. Qing Shui felt as if he had sunk into a great swamp. At this moment, He Yining struck out a punch in return.

”Our He Clan’s battle techniques are all ordinary battle techniques that use the simplest moves. They are also the most effective, the strongest, the fastest, and the most miraculous attacks.”

Boom!

Violent strength caused Qing Shui’s body to keep on being pushed back.

It was a strange power and his movements were very unusual. He was still using the Mortal Steps. Although he was unable to bring them to its greatest level, he could instantly perform the first three parts. This, in addition to the fact that he was at level five of the Nurture God Realm, made it so that his attack was a force to be reckoned with.

Taichi!

Qing Shui was using his current version of Taichi. Ever since the previous episode, he had gone through a swift advancement in his mastery of Taichi, out of which he was able to utilize the ability to reduce inflicted damage well. That, coupled with his own body’s status, as well as the Divine Weapon Flying Sword’s ability, he was able to go up against this opponent unscathed.

However, He Yining’s strength was nothing to scoff at. It was the unique trait for the mortal legacy. Everything was in pursuit of strength and speed. Due to the terrifying strength and speed, their bodies would also be very powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to withstand their speed and strength.

Fierce attack!

Boom!

He Yining moved at a rapid pace and his aura rose rapidly, as if wanting to split the world apart.

Combination Battle Technique!

Qing Shui struck out in rapid succession and his body was also attacking rapidly with a Primordial Strike.

Qing Shui had learned the Primordial Strike from the Golden Primordial Bear’s mind. His mastery of it hadn’t matured yet. However, this attack was a combination of attack and defense. Most importantly, the attack was very domineering. The harshest thing about this was that performing the Primordial Strike required one to have a powerful body. Else, the user would be at risk of having their body explode.

Boom!

Qing Shui was pushed back while He Yining had blood dripping out from the corners of his lips. The surroundings were very quiet, with everyone in disbelief. To think that this young man had beaten up He Yining to the extent that he had spurted blood. He Yining was an absolute genius and had great status in the He Clan. He was a core pillar amongst those in his generation.

Who was this young man and what was his background? To think that he would have such terrifying skills. What kind of influence would have the capabilities of nurturing such an outstanding junior?

”Excellent. I’ve misjudged you. However, you better watch out now!”

With a flash, He Yining disappeared, leaving only that terrifying giant. The giant that had been like a shadow previously, and had now taken on a material form, which was akin to a small mountain. It was strong and violent, emitting a ferocious aura.

Boom!

Its huge arm came smashing down with a force that could split a mountain.

Qing Shui didn’t take it on forcibly. They were outside the manor and during the battle, Qing Shui had walked out of the formation. There was a wide path outside the door. This attack had created a huge crater on the special stone surface, throwing seething smoke as well as sand and debris into the sky.

Qing Shui shook his head. The other party’s strength and body were very tough. It was the strongest existence that Qing Shui had encountered amongst all the other refined entities he had encountered so far. As expected of the mortal legacy.

Primordial Strike!

Boom boom...

Qing Shui was now at the fourth level of the Nurture God Realm. It was a demarcation between the third and the fourth level. Qing Shui’s defense was absolutely stunning, and thus decided to go ahead with a straightforward collision. It was just a single strike, the Primordial Strike. This attack was domineering and kept on clashing with that giant.

The world turned dark. The sun and moon were dim. Violent auras caused the clouds in the sky to seethe.

Boom!

Both He Yining and Qing Shui backed off. However, He Yining smiled and looked at Qing Shui, ”Young man, you aren’t bad. You’re the most formidable person I’ve encountered. But it’s time to settle this.”

His huge figure leaped up and moved with a mysterious footwork.

Nine-Mortal Steps.

Qing Shui’s countenance was grim and advanced with reverse steps, stopping the other party at a strange spot.

First step!

First step!

Qing Shui advanced in accordance to the rhythm of He Yining’s huge figure.

The Nine-Mortal Steps... He Yining had mastered up to the seventh step and this was already starting to become dangerous.

Seventh step!

Having amassed explosive powers, He Yining wanted to strike out his strongest attack toward Qing Shui.

Seven Steps Nine Palace Crush!

Qing Shui’s seventh step landed.

Suddenly, the entire world seemed as if it had collapsed. The powers from He Yining’s huge figure became like a huge balloon that had been pierced with a hole, leaking crazily.
