AST 2134 - The Battle Invitation From Firecloud Palace, Old Battle God Was Happy

"Lord, this time the fault is on the Firecloud Palace. He deserved it, he wanted to kill Nuolan. I will not let him go even if he wants to end it here,"

Listening to Qing Shui, the Golden Battle God was startled and smiled, "Good, the Divine Palace needs the fire like yours. The Firecloud Palace came and requested a battle, each side sends five persons. Life and death are on own account, but the loser has to agree with the terms of the opponent."

Qing Shui frowned. A battle of five on five, Qing Shui felt a bit relieved now. That was great, he could play a prominent role in a battle like this. Still, he asked, "Have you discussed the terms of victory?"

"The opponent stated the terms. We have to give Nuolan to them if we lose, this isn't debatable," said the Golden Battle God softly.

Nuolan trembled slightly, it would probably be worse to live by then. She would rather die than to stay alive.

"What are the terms if we win?" asked Qing Shui.

"I haven't agreed since I can't agree with their terms. I postponed it until tomorrow," said the Golden Battle God helplessly.

Qing Shui knew it now, he did not agree because he had no confidence to win. The Golden Battle God appeared to be not too worried, but Qing Shui knew that was just in the surface. In fact, the elderly was undergoing a huge pressure.

Nuolan knew it as well and said to the Golden Battle God, "Lord, this incident happens because of me. I'll go."

"Silly girl, what are you saying. I would rather give up my old body than to allow you being bullied unless I'm no longer here, there is no other way then," The Golden Battle God interrupted Nuolan.

"Lord, reply to them. Put me in the list of combatants," Qing Shui thought and said.

Nuolan was about to say something, but she stopped.

The Golden Battle God looked at Qing Shui and then at Nuolan.

"Lord, do as Qing Shui said. I'm just worried about you guys," Nuolan sounded as if she was in a struggle.

"Trust me, we will definitely win. Lord, let's think about what we want when we win," Qing Shui smiled.

The Golden Battle God watched Qing Shui with a weird expression, "We will win?"

"If I join, we will surely win. Let me prove it to you," said Qing Shui with a smile.

"How do you prove it?" The Golden Battle God looked excited too. He felt helpless in this matter. Initially, he wanted to discuss the fight with the Taiyi Immortal Palace. However, he felt as though it was not urgent enough to that extent, so he was in a deep worry.

"Lord, if you go against any one of them. How confident are you to win over them?" asked Qing Shui.

"If we go one on one, I will not lose no matter who is the opponent. However, there are two fellows that I can't win over and they have similar strengths with me," said the Golden Battle God honestly.

No wonder he was worried. The opponent had at least two elderlies with similar strengths as the Golden Battle God. In the 5vs5 battle, one of them would cling on the Golden Battle God and the remaining one could still kill the other four men from Divine Palace. Since there were no rules regarding life and death, they would probably try their best to kill.

Qing Shui smiled while listening to the elderly, he said, "It's alright then, you can defeat all of them alone and you will be making a clean sweep."

"Bad kid, stop the suspense. Just quickly prove it!" The Golden Battle God was hectic.

Qing Shui smiled and nodded. He used the Buddha Diamond Seal and Buddha Wisdom Seal at once. The Battle God Halo and Divine Weapon could enhance the abilities of the teammate, the Area Dominance, Formation, etc…

The Golden Battle God was stunned and at loss of words now. He stared blankly at Qing Shui for a long while. He seemed to be looking at an unparalleled treasure in the universe. Qing Shui knew it was set by how the Golden Battle God looked at him. Qing Shui wondered how would the Golden Battle God think if he knew about his weakening techniques.

"Lord, how was that? Do you have confidence in me?" asked Qing Shui hastily.

"Haha, yes! We are already undefeated, but they might have some special abilities too. Even though there are two of them who are as strong as me, this time, I must make them fall and never get up in three hundred years," The Golden Battle God laughed.

Nuolan heaved a sigh of relief as the Golden Battle God was about to leave. Qing Shui smiled, "Lord, wait a moment. Just to be safe. I'll give you something."

Qing Shui gave a Violent Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda to the elderly so that his attacking power would increase by several folds.

A violent energy drifted in the elderly's body after receiving it. He knew the benefits of this miraculous pagoda, there was a tendency for the attacks to increase by several folds. At this level, his attacks were very fast. Even if the tendency was small, the high frequency of the attack could cover the low probability. Upon the occurrence during a violent attack, the boosted attacking power would take the opponent's life instantly.

Qing Shui knew the advantage of this Violent Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda now. For the sake of the battle, he gave it to the Golden Battle God. Besides, Qing Shui enhanced the elderly's constitution and healed the hidden illness in his body. Using some mild medicine, the Golden Battle God obtained a tremendous increase in his vital energy. His strength was firmer and stronger now.

Qing Shui thought of it clearly, with the presence of Golden Battle God, the Divine Palace could stand firmly. Hence, he would try his best to make the Golden Battle God stand up higher and longer.

"I didn't see that coming. Qing Shui, your presence is the fortune of the Divine Palace. After this incident, I will pass over the Divine Palace to you," said the Golden Battle God happily.

"Elder, no no, I didn't only do this for the sake of this battle. I want to keep you as our leader forever. With you around, I'm not worried, the Divine Palace will be more stable. We are a family, so this isn't much," replied Qing Shui hastily.

The Golden Battle God smiled at Qing Shui, "I don't understand you, just let me know if you want to be the Lord. I notice that you are the fortunate star. Now, I can see the bright future of the Divine Palace. Regardless if you want to be the Lord or not, I feel much relieved. Even when I'm no longer around, the Divine Palace will not fall with your presence."

"Elder, don't try to take it off your shoulder. My actual strength is just so-so, but you have seen my abilities. Without you, it won't work since I can only make my allies stronger," Qing Shui knew he had to show the elderly some fear. After all, no one was comparable to the Golden Battle God in the Divine Palace. If something happened to the Golden Battle God, the Divine Palace would be in danger.

The Golden Battle God nodded, "No worries, I have not lived enough yet. I still want to see how far you could lead the Divine Palace."

The Golden Battle God left happily after resolving his woes. This trip was really rewarding, the Divine Palace had higher hopes now. It was certain, probably in the soonest future, the Divine Palace could regain their glory and the top forces would never look down on them again.
