1063 Back To The City Of Wei (2/2)
What mattered was the result, who would be killed and who would survive. But recalling that spring breeze and rain, he felt suddenly curious about this young man.
”Who named you?” Ning Que asked.
A Da answered, ”Myself.”
Ning Que continued, ”Why did you pick this name?”
”In your language from the Central Plains, A Da means good at fighting.”
Ning Que laughed and said, ”I've been here for too many years and probably know the barbarian language better than you do. I know A means miserable and Da means wretch. You … are a miserable wretch.”
Upon hearing this A Da looked extremely embarrassed.
”The national master left you here to stop me. But actually he left you only with death.” Ning Que paid no attention to his being embarrassed and said, ”Get out of my way and I will leave your body as a whole for her sake.”
A Da had no idea who ”her” was, but he felt distinctly enraged because obviously the Mr. Thirteen from the Academy never regarded him as a real match. But why not?
He thought he had been showing enough respect for the Academy - Indeed, he had always been longing to fight his way to Chang'an and kill everyone in the back hill of the Academy. That was his way of showing respect.
But why was Ning Que talking to him like this?
”I admit that you are very powerful.”
A Da looked at the blood flooded street and the iron bow on his shoulder. He sneered, ”But you have no idea how powerful I am. Without your iron arrow, how could you be qualified to look down upon me?” He was extremely enraged, yet he put on a smile to convey his contempt.
No matter how high Ning Que's level of cultivation was, it could not be higher than the zenith of Knowing Destiny. But he supposed that Ning Que would never be a match to him without the mighty Thirteen Primordial Arrows.
Chanyu and the national master asked him to stay here to stop and slow down Ning Que while seeking for a chance to retreat. He took the order obediently but was actually thinking of a different plan.
He was Tengri's gift to the grassland, the only embodiment of the vast and sole will of Tengri. How could he be defeated by a human being like Ning Que? He wanted a dignified victory over him!
Ning Que stopped smiling. He stared at him calmly and said, ”Then go die.”
A Da squinted and put a brutal look on his young and swarthy face. He took a deep breath while his chest rose like a hill on the grassland. In a single breath he inhaled half of the air above the street, and charged endless Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body.
He was completely changed by that spring breeze and rain. He felt extremely intimate to the Qi of Heaven and Earth on the grassland, and could inhale and exhale it at an incredible speed. What did that mean? It meant that he had an endless source of strength.
Since he was acknowledged as the student of the national master, he also learned the cultivation skills of the Light's Doctrine. The national master was extremely knowledgeable, mastered Buddhism, and Devil's Doctrine and befriended Xiong Chumo. Therefore it was not surprising that he knew those skills. In other words, A Da was already a devil.
His body was even firmer than a real rock. And his life was more persevering than a real rock, plus he was gifted by Tengri. Therefore he regarded himself as invincible.
Indeed he was a bit afraid of Ning Que's iron arrow. But after witnessing the real arrow today he thought that he might have a chance with it. He was indeed confident in himself. While A Da inhaled, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was overturned. A roaring wind blew through Wei. He looked at Ning Que as if he was looking at a dead man.
He was going to do something that Chanyu and the national master would never expected. He was going to save the Golden Tribe Royal Court, become the next never setting sun of the grassland, and shine over the entire human world.
That was why he had stayed aside during the previous war and witnessed whatever happened silently. He did not show up until now. He blocked Ning Que's way and was about to take him down.
Everyone in and outside the City of Wei sensed the turbulence of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The ordinary people could not see the change of Qi but they saw the abnormal signs in the sky. A piece of dark cloud came all of a sudden and blocked the sky and sun above Wei.
The powerful ones like the national master and Xu Chi sensed some distinctive flow of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and felt different upon witnessing A Da's horrifying power.
Wind roared along the streets. The remaining half of the restaurant sign was blown against the wall and created low bangs. Dust fell off from the wall.
Right then, Ning Que said something. ”I bet you don't know I used to buy a lot of liquor and roasted chicken from this restaurant. I won a lot of money from others, and even their underwear. And I rejected many marriage proposals, right here.”
