595 Second of the Academy (2/2)

In principle, his Mantra Emblematic Gesture was no match for Qi Nian, and should have been flattened, and then, the black horse carriage would have been destroyed. However, unexpectedly, when Ning Que's and Qi Nian's Mantra Emblematic Gestures met, neither fell immediately.

There was a thunderous boom!

Blood flowed from Ning Que's lips while Qi Nian shook slightly.

In the ruins of the temple corridor, Master Qishan's aged voice rang again.

”Quell the demon!”

Ning Que bent his right hand's fingers, and reached forward.

A breeze spewed out from the black horse carriage. On the stone floor in front of the temple, a solemn, Mantra Emblematic Gesture appeared, refracting Qi Nian's second Mantra Emblematic Gesture.

How did this happen?

While Master Qishan had been ill for many years and his cultivation state was weak, he was still a strong Buddhist disciple. He had cultivated for many years, and his talents in Buddhist skills were stronger than Qi Nian's!

How could the master's mantra be weaker than Qi Nian's!

After Ning Que had joined the Devil, his body had been honed by the Great Spirit and had become extremely strong. Even though it was not as powerful as the Skills of Acala, it was very strong when combined with Master Qishan's mantra.

Master Qishan vomited blood, and yelled, ”Dispell all thoughts!”

Ning Que set his hands to make another Emblematic Gesture.

The big tactical array had already been broken, and the skies, which had been held down for a long time finally returned to their original state. The autumn rain fell slowly from the clouds, landing in the ruins of the old temple courtyard.

In the autumn rain, the library across the temple collapsed with a resounding boom.

Qi Nian looked determined. He ignored Ning Que's powerful Mantra Emblematic Gesture. And with the skills of Acala, he rushed toward the black horse carriage, wanting to crush it.

There was a soft sound. Ye Su had finally withdrawn his wooden sword from the scabbard. The sword turned into a ray of light that was undiscerning and neutral. It pierced toward the black horse carriage, its target being Sangsang who was inside it.

By now, the carriage was very close to the chessboard in front of Master Qishan. The Big Black Horse's front hooves had already trodden on the peaceful Light of Buddha world.

”Natural Stream Magical Finger!” Ning Que extended his right index finger in the autumn rain. With that, his face paled, and looked much more haggard than before.

Qi Nian's expression changed when he heard the words 'Natural Stream Magical Finger'. This was a secret skill of the Zhishou Abbey, so how did Ning Que learn it? He thought, in the short timeframe he had, that Chen Pipi must have secretly taught it to Ning Que. Even after being surprised, he was determined and charged at the black horse carriage.

Ye Su knew that Chen Pipi would never teach Ning Que the Natural Stream Magical Finger. As such, his expression did not change and he charged at Sangsang with his Sword Intent!

Indeed, Ning Que did not know how to cast the Natural Stream Magical Finger.

But his fingers remained pointing at the autumn rain. And he drew, from left to right, two seemingly simple and ordinary lines.

His black Academy uniform suddenly fell, torn into shreds.

He had used a talisman, but it was too strong. It was so strong he could not control it.

He had used an Infinitive Talisman.

He had used a Divine Talisman.

He had become a Divine Talisman Master in the autumn rain, in front of Red Lotus Temple. The first Infinitive Talisman that he had learned was from Master Yan Se. It was just as sharp cutting as his master's.

This Divine Talisman was Ning Que's strongest and most hidden skill. Previously in the temple, before Master Boshu had shaken the Peace bell, he had wanted to use the Divine Talisman. However, he did not have the time to do so.

When Qi Nian and other truly powerful cultivators had appeared, he knew that there was no point in using the Divine Talisman. He had to leave it until the most crucial point. While the Divine Talisman could not defeat Qi Nian or Ye Su, it could buy him and Sangsang time.

His talisman had only half of Master Yan Se's intent. It would not be able to cut everything in the world, not even the air. However, because it was comparatively more simple, it was also sharper.

His finger drew across the autumn rain.

A vicious and strong talisman intent crossed the air before the black horse carriage.

Two invisible blades vaguely appeared in the rain.

Just like the chains hanging above the great river.

Or an infinitely long, sharp sword.

The autumn rain was sliced into two before the black horse carriage.

The Skills of Acala seemed impenetrable, but two deep, black lines appeared on its chest.

Two straight wounds appeared on Qi Nian's chest, and blood flowed from them.

Two deep, white gouges appeared on the wooden sword that was piercing toward the black horse carriage.

Those who encountered the two blades that had emerged from the Divine Talisman would be torn in two and doubly injured.

Master Yan Se's strongest talisman was the Jing Fu.

Ning Que had only learned half of it. That was why his talisman was called the Two-Horizontal Talisman.

It shared the same character for the 'second' in the Second floor of the Academy.

Looking at the black horse carriage that was about to enter the peaceful Light of Buddha, Tang froze slightly. Ye Su's pupils shrank by a fraction. The both of them had seen Ning Que in the Wilderness. Back then, he was still trying to break through the Seethrough Realm. Who would have thought that he would become so strong in less than two years?

Qi Nian's expression was grave. No matter how powerful Ning Que's Divine Talismans were, he could not defeat them. However, he could keep them away for a moment. In the corridor, Master Boshu reached out for the Peace Bell. However, he had lost too much blood to grab it.

The tides changed rapidly on the battleground. Just as everyone was worried about Mr. First and Second from the Academy barging into the temple, Ning Que, who had been ignored all this while, suddenly acted. And he was very strong indeed!

A long time seemed to have passed. However, it had just been barely seconds since the Light of Buddha's tactical array had been broken. The first autumn rains had not even reached the grounds.

The black horse carriage was about to disappear into the peaceful Light of Buddha.

Then, a sword came flying from the skies.
