AST 2179 - Mutual Destruction, Beihuang Fan’s State of Mind

The Demon Gate Junior Sect Master was stunned again . He was only dazzled for a short while before he dashed towards Qing Shui again .

Dragon-capturing Hands!

Roar!

In a loud dragon’s roar, the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master’s figure split into two and moved in Qing Shui's direction .

Demon Shadow Splitting!

Snap!

The Dragon-capturing Hands crushed a shadow, but another shadow appeared right in front of Qing Shui and gave him a punch .

Demon Shadow Fist!

That fist was so fast to Qing Shui that he had nowhere to hide .

Bang!

Qing Shui was flung away while throwing his punch, and blood was spurted from his mouth at once .

Qing Shui's current defensive power exceeded 50 billion Dao Force while the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master’s attacking power was only 30 billion Dao Force . Theoretically, it was hard to hurt Qing Shui . Yet, Qing Shui suffered inner injuries with only one fist .

Demon Gate Junior Sect Master rushed to Qing Shui again; his strength increased substantially at once .

Another punch struck towards Qing Shui again; it was very long like a series of continuous fist strikes . As they reached Qing Shui, they merged together into one punch .

Qing Shui turned pale, it was too late for the strength reduction aura now . Plus, he could not evade it anymore . However, Qing Shui had the Paragon Golden Armor . Since the opponent was going all out to kill him, Qing Shui had no worries left .

Stellar Transposition!

Beihuang Fan moved at that moment as she could not watch Qing Shui die . She threw a palm strike toward the fists of Demon Gate Junior Sect Master . However, it seemed to be too late . Clenching her teeth, she activated her strength to the maximum and threw her body at Qing Shui .

The Stellar Transposition was performed in a split second .

Qing Shui felt a soft body running into his embrace . Then, both of them were shaken and thrown away . Beihuang Fan's body trembled, her blood spilled all over Qing Shui’s body .

A silver beam flashed on the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master’s body . He was hurt by the Stellar Transposition until he puked blood too . Though it was not life-threatening, he was badly injured . It was a defense-proof attack, even if it was not the strongest strike, it was at least 40 billion Dao Force . He would have suffered more than just injuries without the treasures he owned . He might even lose his life or suffer serious hidden illnesses if he did not have the treasures .

Qing Shui's Paragon Golden Armor did not emerge . Hence, his injuries were bad, although Beihuang Fan endured most of the damage . Qing Shui was confused . This lady was willing to risk her life and save him without owning any treasures; that was literally a suicide…

Qing Shui was deeply touched despite his thoughts that a woman shouldn’t bet on her life to save him .

Looking at Beihuang Fan who already collapsed, Qing Shui knew her injuries were severe . She was the most badly injured person amongst three of them .

The Demon Gate Junior Sect Master stared at Qing Shui and Beihuang Fan blankly . He was deeply hurt that he injured Beihuang Fan . What hurt him the most was neither his own nor her injuries, but the fact that she could risk her life for another man .

Looking at Beihuang Fan who had lost consciousness, he was uncertain whether she was still alive . He turned around and left slowly, feeling that his dream was crushed . He spent twenty years on her, and now that he could not own her, he had to live his own life .

Qing Shui did not stop the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master, knowing that there was no way to stop him . He took out a petal of Buddha Light Golden Lotus and put it into Beihuang Fan’s mouth . Then, he carried her and headed back to the Imperial Cuisine Hall instantly .

Inside the Imperial Cuisine Hall, he was treating her injuries .

After he was done, half a day had passed . Qing Shui himself suffered serious injuries too, and he managed his wounds at once with his strong self-healing power . This time, he came to a realization that he was not the only one who had the ability to ignore the defense; the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master had it too .

For sure, it was not a total cancellation, he would not have survived otherwise .

Though the Stellar Transposition could ignore the opponent’s defense, the skill could be affected by some treasures . Nevertheless, it was already a world-shaking move . Today, the Stellar Transposition fortunately exerted its effect and hurt the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master badly . Otherwise, Qing Shui and Beihuang Fan might have been killed, as they were both injured .

It was already late in the night when Beihuang Fan woke up . As she saw Qing Shui sleeping in the lounge chair by the bedside, a rare smile crept onto her face . Looking at the handsome and pale face, she felt a kind of indistinguishable warmth .

She tried hard to sit upright and pull the blanket for Qing Shui . As soon as she moved, she immediately felt pain all over her body, but still, she struggled to get up .

Qing Shui was sleeping soundly since he was injured . Or else, he would surely be awakened when Beihuang Fan had made a single move .

He woke up when the blanket came in contact with his body; he noticed that Beihuang Fan was working hard to cover his body with the blanket .

Qing Shui got up hastily, “Why did you get up? You shouldn't move now . ”

Qing Shui carried her to the bed without listening to her explanation .

“I'm fine!” Beihuang Fan smiled .

Despite looking pale, her smile was remarkably beautiful and unrivaled .

“Don't ever do silly things like this again,” Qing Shui covered the blanket for her .

“Stop your heroic act, don't try so hard to fight with others next time . ”

“Aren't you afraid of death when you came over that time?” Qing Shui wasn’t treating Beihuang Fan indifferently now, as nobody could fake the situation at that moment . If they did not share the damage, and everything was focused on her or in case of head injuries, she would have died . Qing Shui would never have been able to save her in that case, regardless of his Art of Healing .

“I don't know, I just can't let you die at that moment,” Beihuang Fan felt shy when she said this .

Qing Shui patted her head, “Rest well, I'll treat your injuries until you recovered . ”

Her heart and mind twitched after listening to Qing Shui's word and his unintentional move . That was a wonderful feeling with a unique touch . She felt as if the sky became higher and brighter; her body was almost floating in the air .

Beihuang Fan knew this was a change in her state of mind . She had yet to fall in love with Qing Shui, but there was a vague connection between them .

With Qing Shui’s presence and their powerful healing abilities, they recovered in three days . Qing Shui realized that Beihuang Fan's strength became more precise and advanced .

……

… . . .

Qing Shui’s improvement was very slow as attacking power defined his overall strength . Yet, it was difficult to boost his attacking power . There was no medicinal pill that could come in handy now, and his Divine Weapons could not be upgraded yet .

He still needed some time to open the third level of the Hundred Treasure Chest .

His strength increased very slowly even after training so hard . Although with the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal, his progress was still faster than the average people .

The Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant would reward Qing Shui with some energy upon its previous breakthrough, but it stopped working anymore . Thus, Qing Shui was confused . He could benefit greatly if he absorbed the Origin Essence Pill of the Primordial Boar, but he had lost that ability now .

Qing Shui didn’t dare to be careless even though the affair with the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master was over . Qing Shui believed the Demon Gate Junior Sect Master when he denied being the one who ambushed Yin Tong, so there was still someone else who was secretly against him .

Qing Shui reckoned that the Golden Yaksha and the Ye Clan were not kind people . Other than that, the Five Tiger Immortal Palace was yet another threat . He was unsure if the Five Tiger Immortal Palace knew the existence of Tantai Lingyan as they might have forgotten about her . Nevertheless, Qing Shui held no likings for the Five Tiger Immortal Palace or Five Tiger Immortal Sect, they were all his nemesis .
