Chapter 258 (2/2)
Ning Que took a deep breath and raised the metal bow to aim at the cliff far away. He gradually drew the bow backward with his right arm, and the shape of the firm bow slightly changed as the bowstring dug deeply into his fingers.
”The world is flat, good!”
Upon saying this, he loosened his finger.
The tense bowstring rubbed against his fingertip and sprung back at a fast speed, allowing the Talisman Arrow to shoot out with a great force!
The sharp arrow bunchr moved forward from the bow where his hand had been holding it. And after it covered some distance, the diamond inlay on the bow slightly rubbed against the metal shaft, as if a brush pen had written on paper and left a line on it.
It was exactly in the empty s.p.a.ce of the Fu character on the shaft, and the last stroke of that Fu character.
As the end of the arrow left the bow, a string of white liquid came out with it, either because it was moving too fast or because the Fu character was activated.
And then, the Primordial Thirteen Arrow disappeared in the white liquid.
Prince Long Qing, sitting on the snow cliff with his legs crossed, sensed the fluctuation of the aura of heaven and earth from off in the distance, and he even perceived the hostility and homicidal intent of Ning Que. But he did not care at all, nor bother to open his eyes.
Now in his sense of perception, the darkness had faded and brilliant stars were about to cover the entire Firmament. On the firewood behind him, the peach blossom had bloomed, leaving only that last petal, which would unfold quickly.
The higher your degree was on the path of cultivation, the more difficulty you would encounter when breaking the realm and the more dangerous it would be. However, since they were so far away from each other, he did not think that his opponent had the ability to affect him.
Only the sword of Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword, or the legendary Sage in the No Rules State could hurt someone 10 miles away from them. But did they really exist?
Moreover, he had Ye Hongyu, the Tao Addict, to protect him.
So, those were Prince Long Qing's real thoughts when he was about to enter the Knowing Destiny State for the first time in his life.
And soon after, he discovered that he was wrong.
Ning Que had just broken the realm, whose aura of spirit was at the peak, yet he immediately shot out the most powerful Primordial Thirteen Arrow without even adjusting himself or enjoying his happiness for a while.
The Psyche Power acc.u.mulated over the past 10 years, the persistence fostered by those struggles and hards.h.i.+ps, the cognition of heaven and earth, and the hatred, unwillingness, complaints, and coldness were all poured out with that shot.
It had nothing to do with grat.i.tude or revenge, but indeed, it made him happy.
The water in Daming Lake rolled over turbulently, and the fish inside of it panicked.
From the meadow to the snow cliff, countless leaves fell down and the treetops all bent away in a panic, thus forming a hollow.
The invisible arrow was moving forward through the hollow.
That arrow,
startled the peaceful lake,
stirred the dense forest,
and made the newly bloomed peach blossom wither.
Prince Long Qing opened his eyes in shock, and looked in the direction of the verdant valley, his face suddenly turning pale.
He then looked down at his chest, stunned, and the expression in his eyes suddenly turned into extreme grief.
A flower was blooming from his chest, which was covered with a black taoist robe.
But it was not the golden flower that had appeared after he was enlightened by the West-Hill Taoists Law in his dreams.
It was a flower of blood.
And behind the flower, there was a hole.
An empty hole.
There was nothing inside it.
The previous moment, the blackish and thin Primordial Thirteen Arrow disappeared from Ning Que's bowstring and faded into the white liquid of primordial Qi.
And the next moment, the Primordial Thirteen Arrow appeared before Prince Long Qing.
It seemed that a Talisman Arrow could fly, disregarding the constraints of time and s.p.a.ce.
The tough Talisman Arrow directly pierced through the chest of Prince Long Qing where the flower of blood appeared. It had greatly disturbed the Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow inside his body and then continued to flash ahead like black lightning until it probed into the mountain far behind the snow cliff.
”Bam!”
The snow in the middle of the mountain began to collapse, which then formed a white torrent that thunderously flowed down.
Suddenly, the blue sky turned gloomy, and black clouds cl.u.s.tered in the northern part of the sky in the Wilderness.
Looking down at the empty hole in his chest, Prince Long Qing began to tremble.
The arrow arrived too fast for him to react. It pierced through his chest and vanished too quickly for the blood from his wound to bleed out.
And the peach blossom on the firewood had withered.
The brilliant stars in his sense of perception had all broken while the remaining darkness was torn into small pieces.
Prince Long Qing's lips twitched upward to blankly force a smile, but the smile was heartbreakingly and piercingly full of pain.
Tiny drops made streams, which then converged into a river. The river had arduously rolled on for thousands upon thousands of miles through valleys, hills, plains, and mudflats, and finally, it mightily and torrentially gushed ahead and was about to enter the sea. But now, how dismal it was to be blocked by a cliff thousands of feet high and crash into pieces! That was exactly how Prince Long Qing felt.
Originally, he was a prince in the capital of the Yan Kingdom, who occasionally had happy encounters. He had experienced the most prosperous and the luckiest things in the world. As a youngster, he had already toured around all of the countries to make adjustments and finally, he became a handsome G.o.d in Peach Mountain for the sake of Haotian's gift.
Today, he was finally about to reach the moment of surpa.s.sing that key obstacle of cultivation and enter the Knowing Destiny State, and thus, felt extremely happy. Against the verdant valley, he faced the Snow-capped Peak and, with the peach blossom newly bloomed on the firewood by his side, he felt that his life was on the verge of completeness.
But just now, an arrow had flown from somewhere.
That arrow destroyed all that he had.
How much pain he was in!
