The archery of Ning Que was the best in the world. No matter it was the grassland barbarians who were excellent in riding and shooting or the Horse Gangs lived on bowstring, they were not comparable to Ning Que. Besides his accuracy and method of controlling bowstring, his speed of shooting arrow was even more astonishing.

At the moment he borrowed the force of running ahead to draw the bowstring and shoot the arrow all at once. The arrow was even as quick as lightening. When the string of boxwood bow was still slightly quivering in the wind, the arrow bunch had flew to the front of the Horse Gang leader's face and was about to shoot him to death.

At this critical point, a small round shield leaned out from beside the Horse Gang leader and breathtakingly warded off the arrow. A muffled sound like that of beating drum was heard and the Horse Gang holding the shield made a stuffy hum and his ride retreated for several steps.

However, the Horse Gang leader behind the shield didn't move to hide himself, and moreover, there was not any change in his facial expression, not for Ning Que's arrow was too quick for him to make any reaction, but for he knew that the arrow couldn't hurt him.

At the previous moment, the Horse Gang leader and his several trusted subordinates came from the meadow and entered the group of Horse Gang who had gotten ready to make assult and caused chaos. Then Ning Que took the time and thought he could hurt his enemy. But unexpectedly his enemy so easily warded off his arrow which clearly indicated that they had already gotten prepared. So suddenly he felt horribly chilly in his heart.

The muffled sound of the arrow deeply probing into the round shield seemed like the signal of make assult. Under the stimulation of handsome reward and threat of strict punishment, over two hundred Horse Gangs who were still able to ride a horse crazily yelled and waved the curve knives in their hands. Following the ten leaders at the front of the team, they suddenly rushed to the camp of grain team.

Because the distance between the two parties had been drawn closer ahead of time, the belt of gravel at the lower edge of the meadow couldn't prevent the Horse Gang's assult any more. The laager outside the camp of grain team was already broken and nearly two hundred soldiers and civilian workers of Yan Kingdom that had survived were now standing in front of their heavily-injured peers and corpses of their companions. Their hands tightly holding their weapon were trembling slightly and they looked quite despair.

After having a rest during this period, the disciples of Black Ink Garden guarding at the breach of the battle array had not totally recovered, and moreover, their Psyche Power had nearly been exhausted and they even couldn't hold the delicate swords in their hands. Then how could they ward off the enemy?

In the horse carriage at the back, the girl Mo Shanshan slightly lowered her head, several strands of hair inably hanging on her forehead. Her pale face looked especially withered and her fingers holding the inky pen were turning pale for her having secretly exerted her strength, which yet looked so weak.

As the Horse Gang rushed to the camp, it seemed that nobody could prevent the on-coming slaughter with the exception of Ning Que who rode on his Big Black Horse to dash into the flood of Horse Gangs. It seemed he was brave, but what could he do on his own?

Across the broken part of the plate of the laager, Ning Que saw the masked leader at the very front of the Horse Gang. The eyesight of the two finally met in the chilly air of the Wilderness. Somehow Ning Que felt his heart beating faster and the previous vigilance that had perplexed him for a long time became stronger and stronger.

However, at this moment he was not allowed to think more, to ponder over more or to hesitate. Now that he was on the horse, he should take the spirit that when getting on the horse, you were a thief, and drew his bowstring and waved his knife to kill all the enemies.

The Big Black Horse took a heavy breath yet it didn't slow down, and in an instant they had rashed to the front of the laager. Just at the moment, Ning Que abandoned his bowstring and fetched out his hand to hold the hilt on his back, yelling loudly.

He just yelled out a simple broken sound rather than any special name, which sounded like roars of some beasts in the wild. But he believed the girl in the horse carriage could understand his intention. Although they didn't negotiate ahead of time, somehow he believed she should understand him, as what Sangsang did.

Mo Shanshan in the horse carriage understood him. Her black hair drooped on her forehead and her eyes slightly focused, with which her two slim fingers slightly combined like two stones heavily knocking to each other. The yellowish Fu paper clutched by her fingers should break into numerous pieces as tiny as sand and then vanished.

In the wilderness ahead of the laager of the camp, all of a sudden, the Qi of Heaven and Earth fiercely fluctuated, abruptly producing a flavor of extreme driness. The Horse Gang that had suffered heavy losses was frightened by the flavor and subconsciously exerted all their strength to draw the rein and escape to the both sides.

Without any spark nor dry grass, yet right ahead of the broken laager, raging flames were burning out of nothing. The fierce flame suddenly spurted along the blowing of wind and during the fluctuation it became more violent and finally formed a fire wall.

In fact, the power of the girl Talisman Master's fire talisman was not as strong as her previous ones, after all she had lost too much Psyche Power. Just because previously she had to defend against the Horse Gangs who might make assult from all directions of the round laager and the area that the fire talisman should cover was too big. But at this moment, the fire talisman only needed to cover the area that several miles ahead of the Big Black Horse, so it looked extremely violent.

The fire wall outside the camp just appeared to be violent, yet in fact it did little harm to the Horse Gangs. What's more, it exactly blocked ahead of the Big Black Horse, which looked as if it would devour the the Big Black Horse as well as Ning Que riding on it.

Just before the Big Black Horse was about to rash into the fire wall, Ning Que rode on the horse and stramped the saddle heavily with his feet. Then with the tightening of muscle in his waist, belly and thigh, he suddenly jumped up.

The Big Black Horse violently roared and its hoof tip deeply throbed into the mud to forcibly braked its heavy body. When it was about to touch the fire wall, it changed the track of running so dangerously and escaped to the right rubbing the fire wall.

At this time, Ning Que had already jumped onto the fire wall and beneath his shoes were terrible flames. He jumped to that side, and his hands tightly holding the hilt took the advantage of the power to make a draw. ”Gong! Gong!” the podao was drawn out.

The fire wall had prevented the eyesight of Horse Gangs, so they didn't see that Ning Que had jumped up from the horse back. When they saw that Ning Que jumped over the fire wall, Ning Que had already come right above the Horse Gang leader.

Before the battle, he had said to Mo Shanshan that if they could kill this leader that had just arrived last night, the Horse Gang would be in chaos. And if the Horse Gangs were in chaos, the cavalryman of Divine Hall would not lose this valuable opportunity - He was sure that people from the Divine Hall were as shameless as he himself, so he could find out their choices—That's why he chose to exert the exhausted girl Talisman Master's last Psyche Power to create this opportunity.

He was quite skilled at jumping over fire wall and making sudden attacks. When they three killed Xia Hou outside the mouth of Northern Mountain Road, he had done it, so that's why he was so confident. His eyes staring at the Horse Gang leader were focusing and calm. The podao he held with both hands changed into two beams of bright light and chopped down with insistence and certainty.

However, when he jumped out of the fire wall and touched the Horse Gang leader's eyesight again, he found that his enemy's sight seemed actually more focusing and calmer than him, thus the hint of chilliness produced during his previous rashing on horse involuntarily increased.

Two podaos broke the winter wind in the Wilderness and chopped towards the neck of the Horse Gang leader. However, the Horse Gang on the right and left seemed to have known the direction of Ning Que's blade though apparently they were still dashing ahead, so they made judgment ahead of time and reached out two thick wooden shields to ward off the blade!

Then with two times of heavy muffled sound, numerous cracks like spider net suddenly appeared on the wooden shield. While as for Ning Que, he couldn't borrow any power in the air and was back-shocked upwards to the inclined rear in the air. And the two podaos should be inserted in the wooden shield and couldn't be drawn back.

Because the rides of the Horse Gang were still dashing ahead, when Ning Que fell down from the air for the second time, he coincidentally remained heading towards the Horse Gang leader. When still in the air, Ning Que's right hand flashed to his back and drew out the third knife!

And almost at the same time, a fire blossom bloomed before Horse Gang leader, which, though not vigorous, was enough to scorch his face. And this was exactly a skill of Talisman Taoism that remained unused by Ning Que!

...

...

An invisible power appeared in the air and tightly wrapped the fireball changed from that Fu paper inside. The flame suddenly weakened as if it were sealed by a transparent glass ball, which fell down dejectedly and inably along the shoulder of the Horse Gang leader.

The right hand of the Horse Gang leader turned, with which a stiff metal shield delicately flew to the half air and exactly warded off the third knife of Ning Que that had been condensed with all his strength. A huge sound was heard when the knife and the shield met, which greatly roiled the air.

His three knives were all predicted and sealed ahead of time and the Talisman Taoism he secretly drew had been broken. It seemed that this Horse Gang leader knew all his methods and had made plans directing at him!

During the fierce fight, he findly figured out that these Horse Gangs tracing the grain team didn't target at robbing the food, nor the girl Talisman Master in the horse carriage. From beginning to the end, their target was him!

In the biting winter wind in the wilderness, Ning Que felt extremely cold both physically and mentally.
