647 Be Skillful in Battle (1/2)
Facing death, Ye Hongyu didn't narrow her eyes or cry out. Either of them would need energy and time which she didn't have.
She knelt down facing the opposite bank of the pool. As soon as she bent her legs, the iron arrow arrived. Even though she knew a lot of skills, she could not find a single one faster than the iron arrow.
At this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes. In the depth of her eyes, the Divine Starlight that Ning Que had ever seen before began to burn her soul as wood.
The burning starlight shot out of her eyes and turned into two extremely bright mirrors.
As the dark iron arrow struck them, the two mirrors were broken and turned into countless floating sequins.
The gorgeous divine crown was broken and the 13 brilliant stones were smashed into ash. The golden crown was like a chrysanthemum blossoming in autumn, becoming luxuriant petals and then falling apart.
Ye Hongyu knelt on the shore of the wetland, dripping with blood from her face. She looked very bad, even a little pitiful.
Although the injury looked terrible, the internal damage was the fatal one. In order to survive under the attack of the iron arrow, she depleted all the starlight in her eyes—that was given to her by Haotian when she became the Great Divine Priest. She had paid a terrible price and her Taoist Heart was badly hurt.
Ning Que should be proud to inflict heavy losses on the Great Divine Priest of Judgment from the West-Hill Divine Palace. Even Jun Mo, the Second Brother would be satisfied with it.
However, he wasn't. Looking at Ye Hongyu who was covered with blood, he felt very disappointed, because he knew he was unable to repeat an attack like that.
Appreciative and understanding were not only used to describe lovers; they could also describe two similar opponents, such as Ye Hongyu and Ning Que.
Ning Que knew very clearly that his adept skills and psychological attacks, such as showing weakness or closeness, would not work for Ye Hongyu.
Therefore, he did not show his weakness or ask for mercy at all. He just persuaded her in an equal way that Ye Hongyu was used to, peacefully and shamelessly.
Those words could be or not be the plausible psychological attacks. He needed Ye Hongyu to consider him as the same kind of person who was qualified to discuss with her and make her sympathize. When he was sincerely and ruefully looking at the sky with Sangsang in his arms, he hoped these words could relax her vigilance for a short time.
Even if she relaxed, it was hard for him to grasp the moment. In Chaoyang City, Luo Kedi was awakened even though he was outside the yard, let alone Ye Hongyu.
Therefore, when Ye Hongyu looked up to the dark cloud, Ning Que calmly drew his bow, using the Buddhism mantra Emblematic Gesture that he received inspiration for in the Lanke Temple. He did it so smoothly that no killing intent could be felt, as if he was washing Sangsang's feet or writing with his pen.
As for the bow and arrow, Sangsang had already prepared it for him.
Spending so much time and energy to prepare, Ning Que shot a wonderful arrow that would kill everyone.
Everyone but Ye Hongyu who was just badly injured. She didn't die.
He was regretful, and then he drew the bow once again.
Some slightly dark blood flowed from Ye Hongyu's lips.
