Chapter 657 (1/2)
Chapter 657: 657
There was a black horse carriage, thousands of elite cavalry troops from the Left King's Palace as well as Long Qing's dozens of fallen knight commanders that were at the pinnacle of the Seethrough state . The two sides had enormous powers and it couldn't be called a confrontation .
Ning Que's voice came from the black horse carriage, ”I didn't expect that you would be the first . ”
Long Qing replied, ”I am now the owner of this Wilderness, you should have been able to puzzle it out . ”
Ning Que said, ”Do not tell me that until now, you still don't understand that the Divine Hall is using you as a dog?”
”To be the dog of Haotian is better than being a ghost in the Underworld . ”
Long Qing paused for a while before continuing, ”Of course if I was forced, I would be able to accept being Yama's dog . ”
Ning Que said, ”You are indeed ambitious . It seems like your appearance here isn't necessarily to kill us . Then why do you need to put on such a big show?”
”When I believed in Haotian and was willing to give my life and soul to the light, she was the Daughter of Light . However, when I went through the toughest part of my life and decided to sacrifice to Yama, giving my life and soul to the darkness, she became the Daughter of Yama . Don't you find this interesting?”
Long Qing hid between the cliffs as he looked down and said, ”Back when I was drinking away in Chang'an City, I lost to Miss Sangsang . This might be a confirmation from the other beings, and of course I wouldn't kill her . ”
He then started to smile brightly and said, ”However, I will kill you . Because I want to try becoming the Daughter of Yama's protector . If darkness really were to come, I might be able to get some benefits from it . If that doesn't work, I will naturally hand her over to Haotian . ”
Ning Que lifted the carriage window curtains and looked somewhere towards the cliff . He heard the laughter but couldn't see Long Qing . He couldn't help but laugh a little at it, thinking to himself that this guy was becoming more and more cautious .
He said while facing towards the cliff, ”Not everyone has the qualifications and strength to swing between light and darkness . Not many people can sit on the fence . If you continue like this, you will die miserably . ”
Long Qing's calm and confident voice came from between the cliffs, ”Grey is between black and white . This color is the most moderate and the safest . ”
Ning Que didn't want to discuss such philosophical questions with this person, not even the simplest of discussion . He said directly, ”If you want to kill me, why aren't you out yet? What are you afraid of?”
Long Qing said, ”You are about to die, why should I come out?”
Ning Que said, ”When I die, she cannot survive either . ”
Long Qing said, ”I know you are cold-blooded but I didn't expect you to be so heartless to her . ”
Ning Que said, ”I only know that if I die, she wouldn't want to keep on living . ”
Long Qing's voice disappeared for a moment before sounding again with mixed feelings, ”When did you become so narcissistic? Is this the temperament of the Academy?”
”I am not you . I was never narcissistic, only confident . ”
Ning Que looked at the cliff and said, ”If you aren't narcissistic, you shouldn't be saying so much trash . On the other hand, I am confident that so long as you stand in front of me, I can shoot you to death . ”
Long Qing said, ”I am already in the Knowing Destiny state, my cultivation state is way above yours . Let's not talk about how hard it is to find an enemy, but how I can easily kill you . Where do you have the confidence to shoot me to death?”
Ning Que said, ”When I was in the Seethrough Realm, I could already shoot you to death at the Red Lotus Temple . Now, I am already in the Knowing Destiny State . Even the bald donkeys at the Xuankong Temple do not dare face my arrows . Do you want to try?”
Long Qing's calm voice echoed between the cliffs, ”No matter how sharp your words are, they are pointless . I am telling you this not because I want you to have a good time before you die . I only want the thousands of arrows to confirm your location . Now that you know this truth, do you regret having this conversation with me?”
Just as he said this, there was a dense humming noise from the Wilderness at the east exit of the Helan mountain range . They sounded like countless locusts flapping their wings and flying, looking extremely horrifying .
The thousands of arrows shot towards the grey cloud layer and landed in an arc . They scattered all around the black horse carriage in the valley . The shrill sounds of the arrows sounded like thunders from the cloud .
People like Ning Que and Long Qing wouldn't speak meaningless words before a battle . If they did say anything, it was definitely part of the battle . It might also be a psychological battle to wear down the other party's morale or to delay time in preparation for something .
Prince Long Qing had made use of this time to inform the thousands of cavalry troops in the Wilderness outside the valley about the general location of the black horse carriage . This had formed the first wave of arrows attacking . Ning Que had not only delayed time, he had untied the bridle of the big black horse .
The volley of arrows broke apart the skies like a torrential rain . Ning Que opened the front door of the carriage and the big black horse turned around rapidly . Its front hooves stepped onto the air while it kicked back its back hooves as it scurried into the carriage .
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
Countless arrows landed on the black horse carriage as they plunged violently into the carriage's roof and the side walls . The clear ringing sound of the impacting arrows sounded continuously outside, almost as if it would never end .
