Chapter 531: Scattered Horses and People

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

Surrounded by green mountains, the Red Lotus Temple suddenly became chill in the autumn rain.

Long Qing waved his robe sleeves. A storm was raging.

The wave of his sleeves was filled with his anger.

The waves of anger came from the hole in his chest; the years of humiliation and pain, the despair he experienced, and the great difference between the beginning of today's battle and his expectation.

In his expectation, as a man who had mastered unique skills, inherited the Halfman Taoist's astonishing cultivation, and entered an extraordinary Knowing destiny State with the help of the Heavenly Power Pill. He could gracefully return to the cultivation world and easily vanquish Ning Que, taking revenge and leaving his enemy in despair.

However, he was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the battle. To be precise, he was very passive and had no chance to fight back. He had not been able to unleash the mighty power of a Knowing destiny State cultivator before he was severely injured.

He almost failed to resist the attack of six Primordial Thirteen Arrows and there was another one on the iron bowstring. After seven arrows, Long Qing suffered greatly and felt extreme humiliation and anger.

The simple action of waving his sleeve contained his long-suppressed anger and lusted for a fight. Once they were released, the power generated would shock everybody. Over the broken stone stairs of the temple, the rain suddenly disappeared. Countless raindrops were all caught up in his sleeve and rushed toward the black horse carriage.

The strong and fierce Qi of Heaven and Earth moved in the rain almost as fast as the arrows. Every raindrop seemed to have become an arrow or a solid rock.

What made Ning Que feel inexplicably frightened were the flying water drops rushing toward him. Under the rain-free daylight, they seemed to be a faint black, reeking with a weird sense of danger.

Ning Que held his breath, shot the seventh arrow and pushed Sangsang into the carriage as quickly as he could. At the same time, the black raindrops arrived. He had barely managed to place the big black umbrella in front of him to cover his body.

The sky was full of black raindrops. They hit on the surface of the big black umbrella like serried arrows.

Many of them hit the carriage.

The black carriage shook violently as if it would roll over at any time. It seemed like a lonely boat on the ocean.

The raindrops were too many and too spread out that not even the big umbrella could fend off all of them. Ning Que did not notice that some raindrops had drifted into the carriage through cracks and fell on Sangsang's body.

He held the umbrella handle tightly, his right-hand joints were slightly white and blood flowed from his lips.

It was not because of the black rain, but his release of the seventh arrow. He shot too hastily and he was somewhat afraid of the black raindrops, so the arrow did not hit Long Qing.

The Primordial Thirteen Arrows consumed a large amount of Psyche Power. When they were first invented, Second Brother had told Ning Que that the shooting of several arrows could greatly weaken him.

Now he was way more powerful so he could shoot all 13 arrows. But today, he shot seven of them in succession without any breaks, like seven continuous flashes of lightning in the sky. Such frequent shootings were very terrifying. He did not do this even when he fought against Xia Hou last winter at Yanming Lake.

Thanks to his improved cultivation of the Great Spirit, his body became stronger after joining the Devil. Otherwise, he would definitely be too weak to stand after shooting seven arrows in succession. Now, the muscles on his arm were severely strained and he felt great pain in his right shoulder. He could not pull the iron bow for a short while.

What chilled and shocked Long Qing the most was not the power of Ning Que's arrows, but his toughness and strong will in battle because he knew Ning Que very well. Although he still did not understand why the sixth arrow could hit him.

If he did not shamelessly avoid the arrow using the hole in his chest, he might have been greatly injured or dead. Since he had reached the Knowing destiny State and could be integrated with the surroundings, he did not understand why Ning Que, a Seethrough Realm cultivator, could locate his position.

Long Qing realized that Ning Que had many secrets and perhaps, they were not on him but around him. For instance, the little handmaiden who held the big black umbrella.

Long Qing looked at Ning Que's wet but expressionless face, and said with a strange look, ”You are a monster.”

Ning Que stared at Long Qing standing behind the stairs and the hole in his chest, and said, ”You are the monster.”

Long Qing stepped down from the stairs and said expressionlessly, ”Thank you for the comment.”

Ning Que answered, ”You are welcome.”

Long Qing continued, ”You are about to die.”

Ning Que said, ”Why?”

Looking at the iron bow in Ning Que's hand, Long Qing said with a smile, ”Can you still shoot?”

Ning Que's heart sank but his smile was more sincere than his opponent, and he said, ”I'll have to show you.”

Long Qing said, ”My knights have come. If you can, please show me.”

Ning Que's smile stiffened gradually.

Long Qing looked more elegant.
