AST 2472 - Killing the Poison Wolf King, the Powerful Divine Battle Puppet

This man moved very quickly and retreated to the outside of the city. Qing Shui gave chase without being in a hurry. He was sure that this guy was the senior martial brother of that woman from the Divine Rain Sect.

Qing Shui thought of that woman, a sky fox and a lady of unrivaled beauty. Very soon, Qing Shui thought of the relationship between himself and that woman. If he didn't want her, she would live the life of a widow for him...

Very soon, they arrived in a stretch of wilderness. There were no mountains here but it had a lot of grass and trees. Moreover, the land was very bumpy with a lot of mounds around. Some of them were even several tens of meters tall.

The man ran for a while before coming to a stop, turned and smiled to look at Qing Shui.

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Qing Shui smiled and asked.

"To think that you managed to neutralize my junior martial sister's poison. You've spoilt my plans and you must take responsibility for it." The Poison Wolf King smiled viciously.

"You're just a guy without any balls. To think that you're still able to smile." Qing Shui looked at this effeminate guy and smiled in contempt.

The Poison Wolf King's countenance turned extremely grim. No one knew that he had no balls—those who knew had all died. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't have any. He had used a medicinal pill that could regrow a person's flesh and bones; thus, they had grown out again. However, he had no idea why he couldn't use them.

Qing Shui knew what the reason was. It was due to a problem with his Yang Jin acupoint. Although the miraculous medicine could revitalize a person's flesh and bones, it wasn't as if it could do anything nor was it capable of treating every single scenario. For some reason, his impotence didn't show any signs of getting better.

"You're courting death! I shall let you have a try of this feeling as well." Poison Wolf King's countenance became even grimmer. People who were mentally unsound would like to pull people down to join them. The Poison Wolf King would feel a lot more comfortable if others were to lose their balls like he did. Over these years, he had caused countless men to lose their balls.

Boom!

A wisp of black fog rose up and instantly encompassed the surroundings.

Chi chi!

Sharp sounds rang out all over and the Poison Wolf King held onto a pitch-black longsword while charging out toward Qing Shui.

Area Dominance!

The snow-white color around Qing Shui scattered off the black fog in the surroundings. At this moment, the Poison Wolf King's black sword attacked him. A stream of sharp black glow flashed like a black hole as if capable of engulfing a person.

Suppress!

Qing Shui flipped his hand over and a huge hand imprint pressed downward.

Boom!

The Poison Wolf King's body only swayed a little, and it suddenly turned into a huge pitch-black Poison Wolf. The black smoke that circled around his body caused the surrounding plants to rapidly disappear. Even the ground turned black, and it seemed as if there was a layer of black swamp water.

Qing Shui frowned. The Poison Wolf King's physical body was very small. Although the attack from earlier wasn't the strongest, it didn't deal any damage to the Poison Wolf King.

Hu!

The Poison Wolf King was like a black whirlwind. The surrounding world seemed to all have turned black, and the Poison Wolf King charged out toward Qing Shui with a sharp cry.

A fine stream of venom shot out toward Qing Shui like an arrow.

Nine Continents Mountain!

Qing Shui called out the Nine Continents Mountain to block this venom.

Roar!

The Poison Wolf King let out a loud bellow, and something that was like a pitch-black claw appeared in the air, pressing down on Qing Shui like a small mountain.

This was the Poison Wolf King's powerful Heavenly Technique.

Ancestor's Sharp Claw！

This was an hereditary battle technique within the Poison Wolf tribe. It was extremely sharp and was said that it could tear through anything. When it was cultivated to an extreme, it was said that it could destroy anything.

With a thought, the Dragon Slaying Beast was called out and it shot out toward that Ancestor's Sharp Claw.

Boom!

At this moment, Qing Shui blocked the Poison Wolf King's path so that he couldn't escape. It was time to get this settled. The Poison Wolves from back then had been his subordinates and he had killed quite a number of them.

Six-Mortal Steps!

Violent aura gushed out toward the Poison Wolf King. The Poison Wolf King's countenance changed drastically, and his eyes kept darting around. Anyone could tell that he wanted to escape.

Dragon Binding Ropes!

Qing Shui wore a faint smile on his face.

The Poison Wolf King who was just about to flee realized that he was unable to move his body. At the same time, Qing Shui waved his hand.

Stellar Transposition!

A glow that was like the Milky Way's silver color came crashing down, and the Poison Wolf King's eyes were wide open. He then disappeared amidst this Milky way.

The Stellar Transposition—when used together with the Six-Mortal Steps—was far too terrifying. It wasn't something that the Poison Wolf King could fend off.

The Poison Wolf King was considered to be quite strong, but that was when compared with Qing Shui of the past when Qing Shui had been at the second tier of the Nurture God Realm. This top-notch genius was still a far cry from Qing Shui. With the Dragon Binding Ropes, it was not an issue for Qing Shui to instantly kill him.

There was nothing left behind. Furthermore, Qing Shui had no idea if the Poison Wolf King had any other comrades with him. Were there any forces behind him?

Qing Shui left. Killing the Poison Wolf King was something that came very suddenly. Even if the Poison Wolf King had a force behind him, they probably wouldn't be able to find him within a short period of time.

One hour hadn't passed after Qing Shui returned to the inn. After the rest saw Qing Shui back, all of them asked him about what had happened.

Qing Shui didn't hide anything and told them about the matter of the Poison Wolf King.

"This Poison Wolf King really deserves to die. Killing him was actually just going easy on him." Nuo Lan smiled.

"It's good to kill. It'd be leaving a trouble to leave him alive."

...

There were two more Level-Up Stones. Qing Shui decided to level up the Divine Battle Puppet.

It was also very fast to level up the Divine Battle Puppet. This time around, the Divine Battle Puppet's change was also very big.

Divine Battle Puppet!

Divine-grade Battle Puppet (Damaged, can be fixed): Currently can reach a strength of 80 trillion dao force.

Requires owner recognition. Controlled by consciousness!

Method for owner recognition: Obtain ten drops of blood essence and insert them onto the Tiantu Acupoint, Shanzhong Acupoint, Lingtai Acupoint, Shenfu Acupoint...

With the influence of the Spirit Gathering Lamp and the Heaven Shaking Drum, the effects from Qing Shui's Battle God Halo, formations, and the caves, it could reach 240 trillion dao force.

Qing Shui had no idea if using the Level-Up Stone would be able to fix the Divine Battle Puppet. This time around, it was a lot better than before. Since he still had another Level-Up Stone, Qing Shui wanted to give it a try as it could still be fixed. However, Qing Shui was still a little hesitant. Should he make another attempt? Although the Divine Battle Puppet was considered quite strong now, it was a lot weaker compared to the Primordial Golden Bear and Dark Phoenix. It wasn't even comparable to the Primordial Dragon Elephant.

Hmm, good things are meant to be used. What's the point of keeping them? Qing Shui used the last piece of the Level-Up Stone to fix the Divine Battle Puppet.

After taking another look, Qing Shui's eyes lit up and he smiled.

Divine Battle Puppet!

Divine-grade Battle Puppet (Damaged, can be fixed): Currently can reach a strength of 180 trillion dao force.

Requires owner recognition. Controlled by consciousness!

It was very hard to destroy its tough body, and there were chances that there would be the effects of shield attack, critical strike, pushing back, laceration, or dizziness dealt to the opponent when it attacked. In a lucky situation, two or three conditions could appear at the same time.

Method for owner recognition: Obtain ten drops of blood essence and insert them onto the Tiantu Acupoint, Shanzhong Acupoint, Lingtai Acupoint, Shenfu Acupoint...

With the influence of the Spirit Gathering Lamp and the Heaven Shaking Drum, the effects from Qing Shui's Battle God Halo, formations, and the caves, it could reach 540 trillion dao force.

Qing Shui was feeling very agitated. Although the Divine Battle Puppet was still in a damaged condition after this round of fixing, its ability had gone through a tremendous change. Not only had it become a lot stronger, but its abilities also improved tremendously, or rather, terrifyingly.

The Divine Battle Puppet's resistance to attacks raised qualitatively. This wasn't all. The effects dealt to the opponent when it attacked were too terrifying. Shield attack, critical strike, pushing back, laceration, and giddiness... There were five conditions and even if the chances of them occurring wasn't high, one would still appear even if the other didn't. Therefore, it was definitely considered terrifying.
