Chapter 642
The Big Black Horse lived in the Daqing Mountain this winter .
Without Ning Que's companions.h.i.+p, he did not feel upset or encounter any problems in his life . Instead, he enjoyed his freedom by chewing flowers, eating meat, seeking quietness, sleeping late, and basking in the suns.h.i.+ne . How happy life was! Even the dark cloud that enveloped Chaoyang city did not annoy him for over a half day .
However, countless powerhouses gathered in Chaoyang city recently like the clouds in the sky . Especially since this morning, the aura in the city became chaotic . The big black horse realized that his happy time was about to end . He had to find the thicket, endure the sharp thorns and break up the ground covered with thick fallen leaves .
His forehooves were very strong . With full strength, they were much more powerful than the hoe used by ordinary labors . It did not take long before he kicked off all the fallen leaves and dug a hole .
The black carriage was laying in the hole quietly . There was no damage on it except for some dust . The lariat and shafts in front were erected slightly . Everything had long been ready for this moment .
After heaving a sigh, the Big Black Horse bowed his head and positioned himself into the noose with resignation . Then, with utmost strength and lightning speed, he pounded on the slope with four hooves . Finally, he managed to drag the heavy carriage to the ground .
As he dragged the carriage out of the thorns and through the jungle, there was not a single soul on his way, so he felt less worried . However, on figuring out the reason for so few tourists, he became worried again . After arriving at the gra.s.sy slope at the south foot, he gasped slightly and waited there nervously, looking toward the direction of Chaoyang City .
He did not know how long he had waited there before hearing the familiar whistle .
Soft as the whistle was, the Big Black Horse could hear it clearly . As to him, the whistle was a summon to death . To his annoyance, he had thought that he hated it, only to find himself involuntarily excited when hearing it now . Thus he could not help but feel ashamed .
With such complicated emotions, the Big Black Horse bellowed and began to drag the heavy black carriage along the gra.s.sy slope of the south of the Daqing Mountain, rus.h.i.+ng furiously toward the open country outside the Chaoyang City .
When he rushed to the open country, the scene of at least hundreds of cavalries das.h.i.+ng out of Chaoyang City to chase that figure filled him with even more rage . He panted heavily and speeded up again .
On the vast open country in the north of the city, hundreds of cavalries from the Yuelun Kingdom came with dust swirling in the air, forming a huge fan shape . The hoofbeat was as loud and vigorous as the pitter-patter of a heavy shower .
More than a thousand feet away in front of the sector, Ning Que kept running with Sangsang on his back . He was extremely nervous when he looked at the approaching black carriage while hearing the clear and thundering hoofbeat .
Looking at the dangerous scene, the Big Black Horse neighed violently and speeded up again . With the heavy carriage behind him, he turned into a cloud of black smoke, reaching the figure before it was devoured by the Yuelun Kingdom cavalry .
Ning Que lowered his body and jumped into the carriage with lightening speed .
At this time, hundreds of cavalries of the Yuelun Kingdom also arrived . They were heading towards the black carriage, which was going to be surrounded by them if it could not stop at once .
The Big Black Horse neighed again, its thick lips trembling violently in the air . Its big white teeth had some shredded rabbit meat stuck in it from last night looked ghoulish . Suddenly, he leaped to the left .
The war-horses at the front felt somehow chilly when they saw the Big Black Horse and heard his neighing . They suddenly felt cold and fell to the ground with a thump, splas.h.i.+ng up a large cloud of dust .
When the Big Black Horse forced a turn, inertia caused the heavy carriage to move ahead . With the powerful force brought by the inertia, the rope sling was tightened, leaving a blood-red mark on his strong and smooth neck and even pulling out some hair on his mane .
With another furious neigh, the Big Black Horse spared no effort and managed to stop the forward movement of the carriage . The carriage toppled and almost fell to the ground . The Stainless-steel wheels penetrated deeply into the earth, splas.h.i.+ng up dirt .
The dirt fell like stones squarely onto the face of those horses at the front who fortunately did not fall . At the time, the startled neighs rang continuously .
The sector shaped by hundreds of cavalries was gradually disrupted .
The carriage tilted when Ning Que ran into it carrying Sangsang on his back . He tumbled twice before he could finally stabilize himself . Then he tapped on the wall of the carriage .
The crystal in his palm was embedded into the array on the wall . Then a talisman paper between his fingers turned into a plume of smoke, which started the array on the wall at high speed . As a sound that was as slight as a feather floating in the air rang, the heavy carriage suddenly became much lighter .
The wheels made by stainless-steel floated out of the ground . The Big Black Horse was the first to discover the change and gave a joyous neigh . He pushed off the ground quickly, dragging the carriage toward the north like a streak of dust .
The speed of the Big Black Horse was uncomparably fast . Once the array on the carriage wall was initiated, no one or horse in the world but cultivators at the Limitless State could catch up with him . The hundreds of cavalries of the Yuelun Kingdom were completely stunned by the black smoke, let alone run after him .
As he sprinted wildly, the Big Black Horse looked back at those silly horses and cavalries left far behind and neighed complacently . He thought to himself that how foolish they were to compete with him on speed .
When pa.s.sing by the Daqing Mountain, his complacency turned to reluctance and exclamation . He thought to himself that it would be impossible for him to enjoy such happiness again after leaving here, whether he would go into exile with Ning Que or return to the back mountain of the Academy .
At the thought of it, he could not help sighing and let out a long neigh .
The birds and animals in the Daqing Mountain had been humiliated and harmed for a whole winter . On hearing the neigh, they could not help but tremble with joy . They prayed that this big boss would never come back after he finally left .
When the black horse carriage left the Chaoyang City, the dark cloud that hung over the city through the winter also left gradually, floating toward the north high in the sky .
The cloud was very high, so the seemingly slow move was in fact astonis.h.i.+ngly fast . Master Qi Mei averted his eyes from the sky and then took over the bridle beside him . He rushed toward the north with dozens of ascetic monks, but he was very clear about the speed of the black carriage . He knew that they would probably not be able to catch up .
