Mo Shanshan was still immersed in the shock of seeing the Great Blockage Formation, so she didn't notice what Ning Que did. Looking at the stones that were scattered everywhere in the valley, she frowned and said, ”Although it has been destroyed, the remaining power is still strong, I can't figure out just how strong it is on earth in such a short time. Do you still insist on going inside?”
Ning Que aimed to enter the Front Gate to look for the Tomes of Arcane, especially now that he sensed that familiar strong breath that was far away and was pretty sure he knew whom the aura belonged to, so he naturally wouldn't give up. Ning Que turned to look at her and asked, ”Do we still have a chance to retreat?”
Mo shanshan looked at the surrounding stones, did some calculation for a while, and then she nodded and answered, ”We just entered this big tactical array, so there is a chance to go back. If we go further, we can never return. I don't know what danger lurks ahead.”
Staring at the scratches on the stones in front of him, Ning Que suddenly asked, ”Do you believe in destiny?”
Mo Shanshan was slightly startled and didn't know why he asked such a question.
Ning Que looked at her and explained, ”Right now, I believe in destiny more and more. I came into this valley with you, a Calligraphy Addict, so I believe that the god has already arranged everything for me.”
Mo ShanShan understood what he meant.
At this point, Ning Que suddenly sensed something. He suddenly turned back, shot a Talisman Arrow from his bow and aimed at one direction. The arrow pointed at a red figure.
Tao Addict Ye Hongyu appeared again. She stepped on some sharp stones with her bare feet and quickly moved forward. Her bare legs under her red skirt were tight, her left shoulder was still bleeding and her face was pale. It seemed like the burst of breath when the Great Blockage Formation restarted caused her injury. Yet the injury was not serious.
The red figure in front of them whistled. It looked like they were far away from each other, but actually, they were very close. Logically speaking, they should have had a fight in the next minute, but somehow her direction changed. She intended to move straight forward, but was forced to turn right, at last, she started to circle around.
Ye Hongyu stopped and stood on a stone in silence. It seemed that she figured out why this happened. Raising up her head to look at Ning Que and Mo Shanshan, she said, ”You are so lucky.”
Because earlier if the Front Gate hadn't opened when it did, there was a possibility that Ning Que and Mo Shanshan would have become a pool of flesh and blood by Tao Addict's thousands of Taoist Sword. That's why she said they were lucky.
The Great Blockage Formation was really amazing. Even though they were standing face to face, and could hear each other, it was not real. Ning Que tried to aim at Ye Hongyu using his Primordial Thirteen Arrows but there was a weird refraction brought about by the stones, even space was deformed, thus he couldn't shoot at her successfully.
Acting force and reacting force always complemented each other. Primordial Thirteen Arrows couldn't aim at Tao Addict, in turn, Tao Addict couldn't find where they were exactly either.
After making sure, Ning Que stopped pulling the bow and nodded to Tao Addict who was standing on a stone and stayed close by. Ning Que nodded toward her like she was just a passerby who he ran into. And then Ning Que left toward the direction of flowing water with Mo Shanshan.
The further they went, the less the water under the lake was. However, the power of the Great Blockage Formation became stronger and stronger. Aura of Heaven and Earth moved unevenly. It seemed like the air started to have sharp edges, making it painful to be breath.
Ning Que rubbed his cheeks which became numb due to the difficulty in breathing. He asked Mo Shanshan, ”Soon, Ye Hongyu will figure out how to walk in the direction of the flow of water. Do you think she will be faster than us?”
Mo Shanshan looked pale, even her long eyelashes seemed frail. She replied weakly, ”I can find a path in this Great Blockage Formation, but she can't.”
The only one who has a strong will can stick to his own way, and the one who has a strong will is usually arrogant in some respect. At that time, Mo Shanshan was trying to figure out the law of this tactical array, most of her energy had been consumed, but the words ”she can't” were fearless and full of confidence.
Hearing this, Ning Que was relieved and helped her to walk forward.
They walked carefully on the stones. With the passing of time, Mo Shanshan became weaker and weaker, yet she forced herself to keep a clear mind so as to guide them in the right direction. Yet she was too weak to walk and had to be helped.
Seeing her pale face and her quivering eyelashes, Ning Que shook his head and directly carried her on his back. He said before she opened her mouth, ”I am stronger than you. I can hold on for a while longer.”
Without resisting, Mo Shanshan gently gave a response and slowly rested her head on Ning Que's shoulder. Her long black hair covered Ning Que's chest. She closed her eyes, as quiet as being asleep, and occasionally pointed out the direction.
The power in the messy stones was strong. Sharp forces penetrated through their bodies, which was extremely painful. Not to mention that Ning Que was now carrying a girl. He told Mo Shanshan that he could hold on for a while, but in fact, he had already run out of strength.
Nevertheless, Ning Que had walked through that tough mountain path in the Back Mountain of the Academy, so he had lots of similar experiences. More importantly, every time he was about to give up, he would be motivated and encouraged by the sight of some clear sword scratches and moss.
A few decades ago, that man broke into the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine with his sword. At that time, the Great Blockage Formation had not been destroyed and had ten times more power than it had today, but that man just broke into it. A few decades had passed, as that man's junior, how could Ning Que not have the same strong will as him? And how could Ning Que give up and shame him?
