657 The Dark Clouds Landed on the Silver Mask (2/2)

However, these arrows didn't do any damage to the horse carriage. The powerful arrows landed heavily on the horse carriage before breaking in two halves from the center. They landed down like rain but the sharp arrowhead couldn't pierce into the horse carriage at all. They didn't even leave a mark on the surface.

However, the rain of arrows didn't stop and the sound of arrows falling continued. The sound of the arrows colliding against the walls of the horse carriage didn't stop echoing within. The clatter of arrows breaking could also be clearly heard.

Within a short time, thousands of Left King's Palace cavalry troops in the Wilderness had shot out three waves of arrows. The range of the grassland cavalry's wooden bow was incredibly far and their shooting skills were even more incredible. From such a far distance, the area where the thousands of arrows landed were all controlled within a 20 square feet radius.

That area of land was already filled with arrows. They were incredibly dense and were like weeds that were growing from a fertile patch of land. Some of them had even landed above the first layer of arrows, producing a ludicrous sight.

The arrows beside the horse carriage were even denser. However, most of the arrows that had landed on the horse carriage had broken in half. Hence, it wasn't grass growing here but rather, it was like a pile of straw that was slowly flooding the horse carriage.

The black horse carriage was fashioned out of steel and no matter how many arrows hit it, it wouldn't be able to destroy it. However, under such a dense torrent of arrows, one would still feel uneasy. Ning Que hugged Sangsang tightly in his embrace.

The horse carriage was very wide and that was how the big black horse could go in. However, its body was incredibly big and it could only bend its hooves and bury its head like a dog. It leaned on Ning Que's knee, a little humiliated, almost like a pet.

Sangsang was already a little confused when they chose to enter Helan City from the east. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask softly, ”Why are we here? What do you want to do?”

The big black horse rested its head against the carriage board, looking a little uninterested and bored.

Ning Que extended his hand and patted its mane before saying, ”I am taking a gamble.”

Sangsang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, ”What are you betting on?”

Ning Que said, ”Betting that someone will come to save us.”

Sangsang said directly, ”No one will come to save us.”

Ning Que kept silent for a moment before saying, ”Indeed no one will come to save us, but I think some people will not be willing to miss this opportunity. We have spent so many arrows, those people should be more confident now.”

Sangsang could vaguely guess what he was thinking and said, ”I'm not sure if they will come.”

Ning Que said, ”I don't know, perhaps... they are already here.”

Long Qing knew that the black horse carriage was very sturdy but he still wanted to give it a try. By now, he had basically taken over control of the Left King's Palace and no one dared to question any of his decisions. Moreover, under the covert operations of the West-Hill Divine Palace, the Left King's palace had received a large number of weapons from the Central Plains. He had the power and could afford such wastage.

Confirming that the rain of arrows couldn't cause any damage to the black horse carriage, he wasn't disappointed. This was because the thousands of cavalry soldiers had come to the front of the Helan mountain range under the cover of the rain of arrows. They started to charge.

”Go.” He put on the silver mask again.

More than a dozen fallen knight commanders acknowledged that before getting on their horses and charging down the cliff. Bringing with them thousands of grassland cavalry soldiers, they charged towards the black horse carriage in the valley.

The hooves were like thunder and smoke was billowing; thousands of cavalry troops rushed into the Helan mountain range. There wasn't any congestion but rather, they rushed in like a black tide. Flowing back again, they easily flooded the black horse carriage.

Long Qing was very clear that so long as the Tang Army from Helan City didn't help, Ning Que would die today. No matter how strong a cultivator was, he couldn't escape such an environment. Moreover, Helan City was more than 200 miles from here and the key was that the Tang Army from that city wouldn't be able to help Ning Que.

He no longer looked at the battle at the isthmus, the result of the battle was determined and it couldn't interest him. Ning Que, who was about to die, would become a past enemy of his life in the eyes of the world.

Long Qing looked towards the dark clouds in the skies and started thinking about how he could get the greatest benefit and avoid this patch of dark clouds after catching Sangsang. After much thought, he realized his mind was somewhat restless. He couldn't help but laugh at himself; he realized he still cared a lot about Ning Que's death.

The dark clouds in the skies landed on his face and his snowy-white silver mask. The silver mask became a little dark, just like his eyes now. The next moment, the silver mask turned even darker.

Long Qing's smile suddenly froze. With a loud shrill, he bounced off his horse and pounced towards the back of the cliff as quickly as lightning.

The rumbling impact sounds were accompanied by the shrill cries of a horse. Countless rocks rolled down from between the cliffs and smashed into his horse which was sent flying into a ball of blood and flesh. The sight was unbearable.

If his reaction wasn't quick, he would have become a wisp of spirit under the pile of rocks.

Prince Long Qing suddenly turned around and looked between the cliffs that still had snow remaining there. However, he couldn't find any trace of the enemy.

The silver mask on his face turned even darker. It wasn't because of the dark clouds landing on it or because of the rocks. It was because countless sharp and heavy axes flew past his head and aimed towards the cavalry troops in the valley.
