Chapter 2041: 2041
AST 2041 - The First Round Defeated . The Beginning of The Second Round



Not long after the old man from the Jade Clan went up the stage, another old man followed along and appeared before him . This was a very muscular old man . He seemed slightly younger than the old man from the Jade Clan . A steady aura could be felt across his body . It was very intense .

“That’s really Fifth Brother Liu!” The third brother smiled and said .

“Do you think that Fifth Brother Liu will kill the old man from the Jade Clan?” Yu Clan’s sixth brother who was dressed in a violet-gold gown said while staring at the platform .

“I am not sure . This is hard to say . The young man was the one who killed the people of the Liu Clan first, thus, no one knows what will happen at this point . He might not kill him, but if the young man was to be defeated, the entire Jade Clan would be in trouble . However, they might not necessarily kill anyone in these matches . Because if the Liu Clan was to truly be defeated, they might be spared by the young man for not killing anyone . . .

“I expected it to be you . Fifth Brother Liu . ” The old man of the Jade Clan said with a smile .

“Old Man Yu . From those days, we have fought for a long time, yet there was not once when you were actually able to beat me . It’s not going to be any different this time . Would you like to surrender?” Fifth Brother Liu laughed and said .

“Though I may have lost back then, it doesn’t mean that I will lose to you again this time . In the past, I was unable to beat you, but now, I know that I definitely can . ” The old man from the Jade Clan took out a long sword as he was speaking with a serious voice .

“Alright, we have gotten quite old ourselves . Let’s have a good fight today . You are probably the only person left that’s worth remembering in the Jade Clan . It is very unfortunate that you have no one to take over your legacy . ” Fifth Brother Liu didn’t hold back with his words at all .

“How do you know about that? In the future, your Liu Clan may not necessarily be any much better than my Jade Clan . ” Old Man Yu said in a confident tone .



“Alright, alright, there is no use talking so much by now . Let’s get on with our fight . ”

The weapon which Fifth Brother Liu took out was a single-handed blade . After that, he nodded at Old Man Yu to gesture that the fight could begin .

Qing Shui only realized that the fight would take place on the arena . Furthermore, Qing Shui was quick to notice that the arena was very unique . These rocks were a kind of unusual metals; it had unlimited energy which could be depleted constantly . Qing Shui had seen these stones before . Unfortunately, this kind of stones and minerals were unable to be used to make weapons and armors . Their usage was only limited for constructing buildings .

A good building would usually be built up from stones like this . They had high-resistance against attacks as well as vibrations-absorbent .

Both of the parties charged towards each other as soon as the battle started; they were fighting at a very fast speed . Qing Shui realized that both of them put a lot of emphasis on their speed . Old Man Yu’s sword was sharp and pointy . It was very agile .

Fifth Uncle Liu’s blade was also relatively short and light . Even though its technique might be very dominant, it also emphasized more on speed . Thus, both parties managed to exchange more than ten blows in one clash . Numerous close earsplitting noises were heard as both of them quickly moved back and forth around the arena .

Qing Shui was very focused on the battle . Even though Old Man Yu might be strong, the strength of Fifth Brother Liu was obviously a bit stronger compared to him . However, he would still need some time to win the battle . Furthermore, he might just escape with a narrow victory .

There were four types of victory in a battle . A narrow victory, victory, huge victory and a complete victory .

Actually, a narrow victory could still be considered a steady win . It was just that for most of the time, the one who won would also consume a great amount of his or her Origin Qi . This meant that the winners would only have about one-third of their strength left by the end of the battle . In some worst case scenarios, their residual strength could be even lesser than that .

A victory would mean that the winner had about 60% strength left by the end of the battle . A huge victory meant 80% . As for a complete victory, it would mean that the person had managed to defeat the opponent in an instant .



In a narrow victory, the contenders would be in tangles with each other for quite a long time . If they weren’t in luck, the tide of the battle might change entirely in a moment .

From the way things seemed at the moment, Old Man Yu was going to lose . Unless anything unexpected happened, he would lose this match . However, Qing Shui was also unable to confirm that it would happen . After all, when opponents with small differences like this fight against each other, it would just take an instant for them to turn the tide of the battle .

Old Man Yu’s long sword shook . Layers of layers of ripple-like sword qis were released from it . These sword qis were very close to each other as they charged towards Fifth Brother Liu .

Sword qis Combination!

Fifth Brother Liu’s face looked stately . He abruptly swung the blade in his hand a few times and as he did so, a number of sword qis appeared . Furthermore, each of the sword qis that was released later on just got faster than the ones before . At the moment when they were about to clash with the Old Man Yu’s nets of sword qis, all of the sharp sword qis combined into one .

Hong!

Countless sword qis combined together and slashed through Old Man Yu’s net of sword qis .

The net of sword qis was slashed apart and Old Man Yu was hit by the remaining opposing sword qis . Despite his effort to block it with his long sword, he still got hurt by it and injured his organs .

Old Man Yu lost . Even though his life wasn’t in danger, he was still injured . The injuries he suffered wasn’t really heavy, nor was it that light either .

The people from the Jade Clan got nervous and quickly went on to support the old man . Old Man Yu lost the first match .

“Haih, Mister Qing . I still lost in the end…” Old Man Yu said with a depressing voice .

Qing Shui shook his head and said calmly, “It’s alright, everything will be fine . Let me get your wounds treated first . ”

Qing Shui wasn’t afraid to waste his Origin Qi . He quickly helped the old man treated his wounds .

Actually, the duration of the battles wasn’t really long . It was impossible for them to fight up to two hours . Most of the times, the winner of the match would have been decided within fifteen minutes . After that, the next match would usually start in less than half an hour .

The Liu Clan won a match . Deep down, they were very happy . However, Liu Yingwu didn’t know why he was so happy . If it was in the past, he wouldn’t have taken things like this so seriously . But now, he was feeling very nervous . He feared that Qing Shui might really have some kind of formidable forces supporting him from the back .

He walked up the arena . The Liu Clan was just one match away from winning this fight . Since Old Man Yu lost, he couldn’t help but wonder who would come out now . What could the young man do even if he managed to win a match? The Liu Clan would just need to claim one more win and the victory would have been theirs .

Liu Yingwu didn’t know if it was the young man’s turn to come up now . He was looking forward to battle this young man .

“Xixuan, remember my words . Don’t go and battle him straight on . Just stay on the back of the Dragon Spider and don’t come down . ” Qing Shui reminded Yu Xixuan . He sounded very serious as he was saying it .

Yu Xixuan nodded and immediately sat on top of the Dragon Spider’s back in the sky . Qing Shui had lent Yu Xixuan his Dragon Spider and Thunderous Beast for her to use in the match .

“Little brat, you look beautiful . ” Liu Yingwu said when he saw Yu Xixuan .

“You are not being a good role model for the youngsters . ”

Yu Xixuan was about to cry . He was the clan’s head of the Liu Clan . Considering his old age, he had already stopped his sexual desire for a long time . He actually meant it when he complimented Yu Xixuan . However, who would have expected for him to be accused by the youngster, saying that he was a bad role model .

He was observing the Dragon Spider below Yu Xixuan . Even though the enormous Nine-headed Demonic Dragon Spider seemed formidable, it didn’t manage to give him too much pressure . There was also a huge Thunderous Beast with purple color . This demonic beast, on the other hand, managed to catch a bit of Liu Wuying’s attention . He seemed to be planning to take down this demonic beast as soon as the battle started .

“Young lass, make your move . ”

Liu Wuying wasn’t a fool . Since they had already won the first round, he knew that this match wouldn’t be as easy as before . He wasn’t convinced that Yu Xixuan surpassed him in terms of cultivations . Thus, he figured out that the main problems laid on the two demonic beasts . Knowing that, he didn’t dare to act carelessly .

Liu Wuying took out his own weapon, the Demon Slaying Bloody Dragon Blade . It was a long and white blade with an image of a bloody dragon carved on it .

Following on, he summoned his own demonic beast, the Vicious Large Flame Elephant . It was an all-around demonic beast which could act defensively and offensively . It was very powerful and possessed formidable strength and defense . Its speed was also decent .

To respond to him, Yu Xixuan swung her arms and summoned her Ice Burst Demonic Bear .

As soon as the Ice Burst Demonic Bear came out, Liu Wuying’s expression changed . He would at the very least, still have knowledge about Spiritual Beasts . Even though Liu Wuying might not be defeated by a mere Ice Burst Demonic Bear, it would still pose quite a challenge for him to defeat it . In fact, there was a chance that he might also lose in a one-on-one fight against the Ice Burst Demonic Bear . He would need to let his own demonic beast join the fight to secure his victory .

The Ice Burst Demonic Bear had been strengthened by Qing Shui before . If it was an Ice Burst Demonic Bear which he just tamed, its strength would have been cut by half .
