Chapter 565 - 323: Who Is the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord? (Part 3)
However, unexpectedly, Jiuqiansui’s physique, which seemed sculpted like rock, also possessed a terrifying strength. As Qin Yuesheng used his six arms to block, he felt a numbness creep from his palms all the way up to his elbows.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiuqiansui pounded like a piling machine, while Qin Yuesheng showcased his close combat skills. The two of them engaged in a violent battle, relying entirely on physical strength, and every punch landed with flesh and bone, the punch winds causing the nearby buildings to tremble, dislodging tiles from the roofs that crashed to the ground with loud bangs.
Those who have stepped into the realm of Grandmaster are naturally not ordinary individuals; each has their own methods, as do Qin Yuesheng and Jiuqiansui.
After exchanging dozens of moves, Jiuqiansui suddenly shifted his attack, spinning backward like a top for several feet, and then stood stably atop a stone barrel.
Qin Yuesheng cared not for whatever Jiuqiansui intended, immediately slapping his Sumeru Bag. Barring the Celestial Evil Tiger Soul, he retrieved all the Divine Soldiers stored inside.
Being a formidable figure who entered the Grandmaster’s realm many years ago, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t ascertain how much Jiuqiansui had grown in power.
The Immortal Wu Changsheng had previously told him that above Grandmaster are the Five Qi Dynasties and the Three Flowers at the Top, Jiuqiansui might have already touched upon such realms. If Qin Yuesheng didn’t want to stumble in the imperial city tonight, he had to give his all and mobilize his full Spirit.
Kill!
A red cloud appeared beneath his feet, carrying Qin Yuesheng swiftly towards Jiuqiansui.
In the face of the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill, the distance of several feet seemed to cross in an instant.
Jiuqiansui bent down, inserting his hand into the stone barrel. As Qin Yuesheng approached, Jiuqiansui pulled out a square-headed double ice hammer from within.
This ice hammer was entirely composed of ice crystals, looking as if sculpted from a block of ice, emanating a visible cold mist, strong enough to freeze the air around it.
Seeing Qin Yuesheng strike with multiple Divine Soldiers, Jiuqiansui immediately used the ice hammer to block.
Bang!
The ice hammer, initially the size of a basin, suddenly expanded with Jiuqiansui’s strike to a size comparable to a table, effortlessly deflecting Qin Yuesheng’s entire assault.
"Divine Soldier!" "Divine Soldier!"
Both Qin Yuesheng and Jiuqiansui exclaimed simultaneously.
With this encounter, they could both sense the weapon in each other’s hand was of Divine Weapon Level; however, even among Divine Soldiers, there is a hierarchy, not to mention Qin Yuesheng’s arsenal also included a one rank above—a Land Divine Soldier.
At this moment, Qin Yuesheng was undeniably the one exerting overwhelming pressure.
The surface of the ice hammer cracked with numerous fine lines and finally snapped back to its original size.
Jiuqiansui’s body shook, and inexplicably, a finger-width wound appeared on his chest, with blood flowing uncontrollably.
With the physique of a Grandmaster, ordinary weapons wouldn’t affect him, and Jiuqiansui was confident he had not been contacted by Qin Yuesheng’s Divine Soldiers; thus, the source of the wound remained baffling.
Qin Yuesheng had no intention of explaining, striking once more, launching a storm-like offensive against Jiuqiansui.
Gradually, the injuries on Jiuqiansui’s body multiplied, with cuts, sword slashes, and gun wounds appearing more profusely than the initial small punctures.
At that moment, Jiuqiansui’s eyes suddenly shrunk as he rapidly reached out to grab the air to his left.
A tip of a parasol appeared in his hand, precisely "The Parasol of All Beings."
The Parasol of All Beings’ tip was exceptional; under Qin Yuesheng’s control, it moved almost invisibly, with Jiuqiansui discovering its ambush only after sacrificing parts of his own physical resilience.
However, the exposure of the Parasol of All Beings mattered little to Qin Yuesheng; he slashed with multiple Divine Soldiers in succession, and the Purple Dragon Spear struck towards Jiuqiansui’s chest.
"Cold Heaven Skill!" Jiuqiansui erupted with chill aura, and the cold water inside the stone barrel beneath him seemed to boil, soaring high, causing Qin Yuesheng to shudder. A cold force invaded Qin Yuesheng’s body through his pores.
This chill had completely surpassed the cold of Nine Yin Internal Power, and although Qin Yuesheng quickly activated Nine Yang Internal Power to resist, the effect remained poor, his movements visibly stiffening.
Jiuqiansui rapidly swung his hammer, unleashing multiple strikes in an instant. Under his influence, the ice hammer expanded once again, and struck Qin Yuesheng’s body repeatedly.
Fortunately, Qin Yuesheng released the Golden Bell Shield in time, blocking the hammer’s assault, but it still resonated with buzzing vibrations.
In passive defense, Qin Yuesheng gradually uncovered a crucial problem.
As Jiuqiansui’s attacks intensified, the cold force erupted even more vigorously and abundantly, eventually forming a field filled with thick cold fog.
Inside this domain, Qin Yuesheng agonized, while nearby the palace, crows caught in the cold fog instantly froze into blocks of ice, dropping from the sky as living ice sculptures.
"This won’t do. This technique is more troublesome than Nine Yin Internal Power, and is likely a new Divine Skill he refined from the Nine Yin Extreme Dao Scripture." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.
