AST 1815 - Divine Stonebeast Assassin

Though Qing Shui might be very confident in himself, he was still a bit worried . After all, anyone would be concerned to approach the unknown danger .

Qing Shui had already raised his strength up to its peak . After that, he proceeded into the deeper part of the Phoenix Sun Valley while walking at a moderate pace . Meanwhile, his formidable Spiritual Sense also helped him to observe everything around .

This was the formidable ability that came from the mutation which originated from the Yin-Yang Image . It was also one of the reasons why Qing Shui was so confident . Everything around him was crystal clear, it was futile to hide even for some assassins who specialized in stealth .

After walking another hundred meter, something appeared in Qing Shui’s Spiritual Sense . It was a stone with the size of a small mountain . It looked just like a stone . However, in his Spiritual Sense, the mountain was colored red, blood red .

Normally, his Spiritual Sense would only display the red color for something which might be a threat to him . Normally, things would only appear in their original color . For humans or any other living things, they were shown as green . It was only when any of them expressed killing intent towards him that their color would turn to red .

Hence, even from far away, Qing Shui already noticed the presence of the tiny mountain . The tiny mountain looked very weird . Qing Shui could feel the presence of a living thing from the mountain .

Divine Stonebeast!

It was a demonic beast which resembled a stone . They were actual, living beasts that looked no different than a normal stone . In the past, he had already seen similar species like the Stone Rock Beast . They were all of the same species .

This kind of Divine Stonebeast had formidable bodies . It didn’t know any attacks which used the Spirit Energy, but to make up for this, its resistance towards the Spirit Energy Attack was doubled . They also possessed decent speed .

They specialized in ambushing and killing their preys . By hiding themselves, they could deal fatal hits to their opponents without them even knowing about it .

Upon seeing the Divine Stonebeast, Qing Shui figured out right away that the opponent must have underestimated him . However, he was truly curious about the method, that the opponent used to defeat Shen Huang . After all, with how powerful Shen Huang was, she shouldn’t be that easy to defeat .

Since the opponent dared to make his move even after knowing Shen Huang’s strength, they must have an existence at the equivalent level as her .

Qing Shui was now less than fifty meters away from the Divine Stonebeast . Despite that, Qing Shui still continued to slowly move forward like he hadn’t noticed anything unusual . He wasn’t worried about the beast, instead, he was concerned about the person who was hiding within the Divine Stonebeast .

This was because Qing Shui spotted a red human figure right below the Divine Stonebeast . The size of the thing which appeared in Qing Shui’s mind was exactly the same as shown in reality . He was able to see every single of their movements very clearly .

The aura of the human figure was very intense and sharp . Nevertheless, Qing Shui only felt remorse for him . In front of his formidable Spiritual Sense, even the most well-hidden assassin would be useless against him . Instead, they would very much end up overestimating themselves . At the very least, assassins would not hold any advantages in such a situation .

Qing Shui’s figure had been completely covered up by the enormous stone figure . However, the Divine Stonebeast had yet to make any moves . Nevertheless, Qing Shui was sure that the opponent would certainly make his move .

Qing Shui’s figure almost passed through the large rock, but just like before, there wasn’t any movements .

Qing Shui has already passed the Divine Stonebeast by… One foot, two feet…… Three feet!

Right at this moment, the enormous stone actually became alive . A formidable aura could be felt as the enormous stone turned into a giant Stonebeast and charged its way towards Qing Shui .

It was as fast as lightning . Other than just the attacks, from time to time, Qing Shui was also able to sense a faint murderous aura .

Qing Shui shut his eyes . In his consciousness, he was able to see clearly every traces left behind by the enormous Stonebeast . There was also an afterimage of a human figure hiding within it . A grey indistinct dagger flashed and made its way towards his throat .

If he had chosen to stay still, Qing Shui wouldn’t have been able to track him down, but now that he finally made his move, he had done nothing but exposed himself .

Indeed, this man truly possessed decent strength . Furthermore, the path which he took was the path of assassin . Even if he was to run into warriors more powerful than himself, he would still have a huge chance of winning . With the additional teamwork between himself and the Stonebeast, it was likely that he had never failed any of his assassination missions before .

All along, Qing Shui was standing still . Right at the moment when the enormous Stonebeast was about to leap towards him, Qing Shui finally made his move . He could see the move of the Stonebeast clearly, so he casually moved aside and easily avoided the Stonebeast’s attack .

Not only did he manage to avoid it, but he also happened to escape from the attack of the assassin which was pointed towards his fatal spot . With all of that, Qing Shui still hadn’t considered his job finished . He casually let out his arm .

Taichi Single Whip!

Pa!

A loud and clear noise came through . Qing Shui’s hand had landed on the assassin’s armpit .

The ribs below a human’s armpit were one of their most fragile body parts . With this attack, Qing Shui could clearly feel the cracking of his ribs . It was not just a mere snap, it was crushed .

The man let out a depressing groan . Despite that, he still held on to the dagger tightly . The excruciating pain he felt, made him look very calm . It was only now that Qing Shui finally settled his eyes on the tiny old man .

The old man had white hair but at the same time, quite a few black trends of hair could also be spotted . He looked quite normal and had a thin figure . Overall, he had a wretched appearance . With just one glance, he was able to tell that this person was full of tricks .

But as he looked at him closely, he was also able to feel the sharp killing intent from the person . His movement and stealth ability were very outstanding . Though that might be the case, in front of Qing Shui, he lost all the advantages which he was supposed to have .

“Where is Shen Huang? Who are you?” Qing Shui asked softly .

Right after Qing Shui finished speaking, the enormous Stonebeast began charging towards him . An impatient look flashed across Qing Shui’s face . The Golden Battle Halberd appeared in his hand . Immediately he crushed the huge rock with one slash .

An all-out strike!

For now, an all-out strike from Qing Shui was still considerably terrifying . The difference between the Divine Stonebeast and Qing Shui was too significant . A loud cracking noise was heard . The skull of the Divine Stonebeast was crushed right away .

At the moment when the Divine Stonebeast moved, the old man also made his move once again . His injury hadn’t really affected his movement much . There wasn’t any sign of him suffering from his face . In fact, he seemed colder than ever .

“If you continue to remain silent, I wouldn’t mind killing you . I am sure that someone will spill the beans eventually . ” Qing Shui casually blocked the old man’s strike with his Golden Battle Halberd .

The old man continued to remain silent . His movements were becoming sharper and sharper . Unfortunately, the gap in strength was too significant . He was unable to cause any ruckus in front of Qing Shui . Very quickly, he was already beaten to the brink of death by Qing Shui .

“He is a deaf person . Come in if you really want a piece of information about her . Young man, you have truly surprised me . ” The annoying voice once again rang . Qing Shui didn’t kill the old man . However, in his lifetime, the old man should never expect to hold up a man slaughtering weapon again .

“What’s the point of sneaking around so much? Come out if you dare, do you really consider playing tricks like this to be a very outstanding thing to do? You disgust me!” Qing Shui began to mock the opponent .

“Haha, in a while, you will know whether or not I am playing tricks . If you don’t want to continue playing, go back, I never begged you to come anyway . ” That annoying voice managed to thoroughly suppress Qing Shui .

All Qing Shui wanted to do now was to cuss . The person who was currently speaking also couldn’t be dealt with so easily . He seemed to have grasped over Qing Shui’s mind and was aware of the fact that he must save Shen Huang no matter what . The opponent was highly convinced that Qing Shui would definitely continue to move forward no matter what kinds of traps awaited in front of him .

And indeed, he seemed to be doing exactly what the opponent wanted . Qing Shui was upset as he continued to walk forward . He was very eager to see exactly what method the opponent would use against him . He wanted to see who exactly would have the last laugh .
