Chapter 649 (1/2)
Chapter 649: This is Battle
Pure Haotian Divine Light burst forth from Sangsang and shot toward the skies above the pool, reflecting off the big black umbrella's surface . The dark world was engulfed in light instantly .
Ye Hongyu was stunned speechless . She had never imagined that Sangsang would still have such pure Haotian Divine Light in her body even though she was already the Daughter of Yama . What was happening?
She was the Great Divine Priest of Judgment and was well-skilled in West-Hill Divine Skill . Accordingly, Haotian Divine Light should not have such a strong impact on her . However, the Haotian Divine Light that burst forth from the big black umbrella did not land directly on her . Instead, it entered the sky above the pool and into the talisman storm before reflecting everywhere .
There seemed to be several mirrors in the dark pool . Each mirror was a talisman, reflecting the countless rays of light . The light grew stronger and stronger, and when it finally reached Ye Hongyu's eyes, its power had grown tremendously powerful .
If Ye Hongyu still had the Light of Haotian deep in her eyes, she could have easily used the same power to bear Sangsang's Haotian Divine Light . However, the Light of Haotian in her eyes had already been consumed when she fought against the Primordial Thirteen Arrows . She could only watch helplessly as the Divine Light a.s.saulted her body .
A clear sound emitted from her lips . Flames licked out from beneath her divine robe . The flames were black and not hot . It was the legendary Blaze of Judgment!
The clash between Haotian Divine Light and Blaze of Judgment resulted in a thunderous clang . The two forces clashed in the air above the pool . Ye Hongyu was thrown into the air toward the opposite sh.o.r.e . The blood red color of her Divine Robe hung in the air like a flag . As it crossed the talisman, numerous tears appeared on them, causing blood to flow .
Beside the pool, Sangsang held the handle of the big black umbrella, her eyes tightly shut and her face extremely pale . When she was certain that Ye Hongyu had been blasted back, she relaxed . There was a light puff, and she spat out a mouthful of thick black blood .
Ning Que was too preoccupied to worry about her . He did not even have time to pick up his bow from the sh.o.r.e . He stepped heavily on the mud at the bottom of the pool and was splattered by water, leaping towards Ye Hongyu who was falling from above .
Ye Hongyu fell into the swamp behind the pool, making a large splash in the dirty waters . She slid down the wet moss for a few feet before stopping, blood staining the ground red .
Ning Que landed after her, not waiting for her to stand . Like a hunting tiger, he was calm and composed and he pressed her down violently, not giving her any chance to react .
Ning Que hugged her back and swept his legs through the muddied grounds of the swamp, hooking his legs into her knees . He hugged her tightly in an intimate gesture, and then, he pressed down forcefully .
He was not Ye Hongyu's match in both Taoists Law or in cultivation states . He was only physically stronger . That was why he chose to use his strength to pulverize her bones .
This was a gory method that was often seen in the cultivation world . For example, when a martial cultivator went against a Sword Master, he would use this method when on the brink of death . Back when the Devil's Doctrine was flouris.h.i.+ng, many powerhouses in Haotian Taoism had died in the embrace of powerhouses from the Devil's Doctrine through this terrifying method .
There were no problems with the method Ning Que chose . However, his opponent today was Ye Hongyu .
Ye Hongyu studied in the Revelation Inst.i.tute for a short period of time after leaving Zhishou Abbey . She then entered the Judicial Department of West-Hill Divine Palace where she spent most of her life .
The Judicial Department judged on the sins of the world . They went after the remnants of the Devil's Doctrine . She had once been the Grand Master of the Judicial Department and was now the Great Divine Priest of Judgment . She was very familiar with the methods of the Devil's Doctrine and would naturally have a way to counter it .
Ning Que suddenly felt as if the girl in his embrace had become a smooth, scaleless fish . And no matter where he placed his limbs, they would slide off . Furthermore, her body suddenly became extremely bouncy and tight . No matter how much pressure he exerted, it would just bounce or slide off .
Knowing that the method would not work, Ning Que changed his plans . He held on tightly to the collar of her robe with his left hand and lifted his left knee, kneeing her viciously in her groin . However, Ye Hongyu's reaction was like lightning . She rolled in the swamp, and her robe loosened, sliding out of Ning Que's control and avoiding his knee . She prodded with her fingers, and two sharp sword styles emerged from the air, piercing into Ning Que's weakest spot- his eyes .
Ning Que lowered his head, using his forehead to bear the piercing swords . He wedged his feet deep into the mud in the swamp and pushed forward . The podao, which had been hanging off a string on his right wrist swung, cut into Ye Hongyu's throat mercilessly .
Ye Hongyu's wedged her hand into the mud and pushed off with her left hand . She rolled, causing her divine robe to spread open . She wrapped the blade into her robe at the speed of lightning . Then, she pulled out a handful of mud with her right hand, imbuing it with aura and smas.h.i.+ng it into Ning Que's face .
Ning Que avoided the fistful of mud and pressed forward with the blade .
Ye Hongyu called forth her Taoist Sword, piercing it into the back of his head .
In the swamp, the two grappled with each other and exchanged numerous blows within seconds .
The swamp was full of soft mud, which affected the two seriously . Ning Que attacked, relying on his physical strength while Ye Hongyu displayed her battle prowess perfectly . She did not miss out on any opportunities and used all kinds of Haotian Taoism skills to try to kill him .
Ye Hongyu's divine robe fell off, having long been torn into shreds . Ning Que's s.h.i.+rt had been torn into pieces by the Taoist Sword . The two naked bodies writhed and twisted, separating and coming closer together again, looking rather erotic . However, they were both bleeding and covered in filthy pungent mud . Anyone of them could die at any moment as they crossed swords and it was not sensual at all .
”You have Sangsang with you and you would not dare to die with me . You're bound to die today!”
”You didn't even wear underwear but you remembered to bring your comb! You still care about your physical sh.e.l.l, so you're not strong enough . At least you're not strong enough to make me lose hope!”
Deep in the swamp, the fog came quietly, then panicked and scattered . In the mosses submerged in shallow water, the two mud-covered people continued fighting and shouting, like two Capybaras fighting a b.l.o.o.d.y battle .
A water mirror suddenly appeared in front of Ning Que . The material of the water mirror came from the ground . The filthy water mixed with crushed moss splashed on his face, obstructing his five senses for a moment .
Ye Hongyu used the moment to insert two slender fingers coldly into Ning Que's left chest . They pierced right through the hole caused by her Taoist Sword earlier and activated the sword style!
Ning Que felt a sharp pain in his chest . He felt as if his heart would split open the next moment . Howling in pain, he broke the water mirror on his face and smashed his right fist imbued with the Great Spirit toward the front .
Ye Hongyu's left hand seemed to wave casually but it held the secrets of the Cloud Hand which originated from the Cloud Taoist Temple of the Kingdom of Song .
Having experienced a long battle which was dangerous and difficult, Ye Hongyu finally had the opportunity to kill Ning Que . How would she be unprepared against Ning Que's dying blow?
However, she had forgotten an important matter at this crucial moment . The strongest power of the Cloud Hand Taoists Law from Cloud Taoist Temple of the Kingdom of Song should be hidden in one's sleeves . It was called Cloud Sleeves .
She was completely naked, so where would she find sleeves?
In principle, Ye Hongyu's rich combat experience meant that she should not make such low-level mistakes . However, she had never had the experience of fighting like a child in a quagmire without any clothes on .
Without the wind hidden in her sleeves, the powers of Cloud Hands of the Cloud Taoist Temple were weakened by half .
Ning Que's right fist, which was imbued with the Great Spirit broke through her left Cloud Hand pose . While it was slightly weaker, it still landed squarely on the left side of her chest .
His fist fell on her chest, and mud went flying, revealing her pale skin and tender and full chest . It was crushed like paper, and blood started to ooze from the sides, the sounds of cracking ribs rang in the air!
Ye Hongyu moaned angrily and painfully . The sword style in her fingers which were wedged in Ning Que's wounded chest grew and tunneled deeper . Fresh blood oozed from the corners where her fingers were wedged .
Ning Que felt as if his heart had been struck by lightning . His face paled suddenly and he felt his strength draining . He clutched Ye Hongyu's right wrist tightly in his left hand and curled up his right hand tightly, swiping angrily at her chest . He held her tightly in her chest and lowered his head, biting down into her mud covered neck .
After the slightly fishy taste of the swamp water was the metallic but sweet taste of blood .
Ye Hongyu's left hand fell with the wind, almost landing on the top of his head .
He would die once that happens .
Ye Hongyu felt the clear tearing at her neck . She could even feel her blood being drained . She thought of their meeting many years ago at the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine . Her face suddenly paled considerably, and her fear, which had been repressed for many years, bloomed once more before her eyes and quickly took over her entire being .
Accompanying the pain at her neck was her weakening sense of perception and body . She finally believed that Ning Que was not using this method to frighten her, but that he would really use the evil Devil's Doctrine skill .
However, the fear in her eyes suddenly switched into absolute calmness . They were as bright as jewels .
Ye Hongyu's fingers on her right hand were wedged into Ning Que's chest . They were merely half an inch away from his heart . Her right hand landed on his head as if caressing him . Ning Que's right hand held onto her left bosom tightly and erotically . His head was pressed against her neck as if he was kissing it . The entire scene was intimate . It was an intimate act with Yama .
Ning Que could sense the change in her aura . He thought that the terrifying woman would forcefully lower her state without hesitation, just like she had many years ago, to obtain a chance for herself and for her opponent to die .
That was why he stopped sucking the blood . He said in a m.u.f.fled voice, ”I'm not Lotus . There's no need for you to lower your state just to kill me . Shall we stop fighting?”
Ye Hongyu's face was devoid of any emotions . She said indifferently, ”You have learned the Practice of Tao Tie . There is no reason for me to let you live . ”
Ning Que thought about what happened in autumn before the Red Lotus Temple and of how he had learned Tao Tie . He smiled bitterly and mumbled, ”But I have never used it . ”
Then, his lips left her neck slowly and he straightened up .
Ye Hongyu's fingers drifted away from his heart slowly .
Ning Que fell backward into the swamp tiredly and scooted back about half a feet . He looked at her and said, ”I admit that I am indeed no match for you . Let's fight again after I rest a little . ”
There was mud, blood, and a thin golden thread between his lips .
Ye Hongyu looked at him and said, ”If you had continued to bite down, you'd have been dead . ”
Her fingers flicked lightly, and the golden thread on Ning Que's lips fell to the ground and disappeared into the ground with a poof .
Ning Que only noticed then, that there were many almost invisible golden threads on her wounds . He was extremely surprised, and asked, ”What are they?”
Ye Hongyu answered, ”After returning from the Wilderness, I buried 72 golden threads in my body . Each golden thread is a sword . If anyone tries to take a bite of my flesh, he would definitely regret it . ”
