478 Inside and Outside the Well (2/2)
”I asked Seventh Sister to design the tactical array, adding a big black umbrella for Xia Hou to make an error in judgment and let him think that I am in the house. Xia Hou is actually very cautious, overanxious, and oversuspicious. On this basis, it is a lopsided self-confidence. Since he judges me to be there, he will definitely believe that I am there.”
He said sarcastically, ”Perhaps he is still mocking me at this moment, telling me to come out and fight.”
Sangsang looked at the opposite shore and frowned, ”But his strength is too formidable. The talisman ocean seems unable to deal with him.”
”I never expected this talismanic storm to directly defeat Xia Hou. After all, I am not a Divine Talisman Master. The Fu papers that I sprinkled on the flowerpots may only be like moths darting into a flame and turn into useless smoke, but there may be a talismanic break in his eyelashes.”
He went on to say, ”A falling eyelash does not count as something, and even he himself may not have noticed that if he accumulates a greater amount, it can be deadly. Just like walking, as long as you go step by step, one day you will eventually arrive at where you wanted to go.”
”Xia Hou is an indestructible mountain peak, and my means are an insignificant ladle. But if I keep knocking it down and endure to keep knocking it down forever, this peak will allow me to beat it loose, beat the flexible surface, and powder the rocks. After it falls down, the hill will eventually shake.”
After finishing that sentence, Ning Que gave the big black umbrella in his hand to Sangsang.
Sangsang took the big black umbrella and looked at him, saying, ”Yes, young master, you will certainly win.”
Across the lake, Ning Que's Psyche Power was rapidly consumed by triggering hundreds of Fu papers at the same time. His face was pale, but his vision was still calm as he looked at the other side of the lake and slowly lifted his right arm.
His fingers trembled and it seemed as if the space between his fingers were using invisible lines to hang a heavy mountain peak.
He slowly moved his right arm and drew two horizontal and two vertical lines in the snowstorm in front of him. The invisible and, yet imposing, lines pointed to the house on the other side of Yanming Lake.
Inside the house.
The yellow papers dancing all over the sky vanished into nothingness. Dazzling rays of light gradually converged and the horrible violent talisman continued to tear away the Qi of Heaven and Earth— tranquil but containing dangerous.
Elsewhere in Chang'an City, on this relatively sparse snowy evening, four lines appeared faintly. And those lines were not colored. They should have been transparent and invisible as per natural law, but these lines could be seen by others.
The reason why the four lines could be seen was that the snowflakes fluttering in the night sky abruptly fled in all directions and some of the snowflakes that failed to escape silently vanished into nothingness.
The four lines in the night sky were vestiges of the snowflakes that fled.
The four lines were two horizontal and two vertical lines, and together, they formed the shape of the ”井” (well) character.
The violent talismans in the night sky were all condensing into this shape.
...
...
The shape with two vertical and horizontal lines explained the cutting.
The Jing Fu was the most horrible state and the deeply wonderful talismanic meaning of Master Yan Se's life before his death. Before he perished together with the Great Divine Priest of Light on an unknown hilltop, the well character that was sent out could even be cut open. The Haotian Divine Light obtained by the Great Divine Priest of Light in Tianqi could be cut off in space!
Ning Que inherited all of Master Yan Se's possessions. Studying the Jing Fu was naturally his most painstaking intention.
Although at his state, he could not fully exploit the power of the Jing Fu, the Jing Fu that he wrote was already strong enough and it was the most powerful talisman that he could perform. It was unclear when he could actually start to use the infinitive talisman. This skill was already close to the level of the bookworm, Mo Shanshan, living in the Wilderness. In other words, this Jing Fu was his Half Divine Talisman!
...
...
The well character had descended from the night sky, covering the whole courtyard on the lakeside, as if concealing countless more fine wells within it. Nothing could escape from it.
The plum blossom was chopped, the well was cut off, and the wall was cut open. The well character was falling, and everything was cut open.
The Jing Fu, which was extremely swift and fierce, landed on Xia Hou's body.
There were four distinctly clear traces on the surface of his body where the Qi of Heaven and Earth had condensed. They were slightly subsiding and the brand-new suit of armor had four rusty marks inside of it.
Xia Hou's iron-like dark face suddenly turned white and then red, followed by snowy white. It was immediately followed by flushing, quickly resulting in a Psyche Power sickness!
The layer of Qi of Heaven and Earth that condensed on the surface of his body had been restlessly oscillating. It had finally slackened off cutting the well character, but it had become much thinner, like a thin piece of paper.
Immediately afterward, a quiet coughing sound came from him, and armor with four rusty lines smashed into countless metal pieces, like breaking copper or crappy iron underfoot.
Xia Hou gazed at the opposite shore of Yanming Lake and looked at the pitch-black night.
He then understood that, actually, he himself had been waiting to be inside of the well.
Ning Que had always been outside of the well.
