1064 I Retrieved What She Had Sent Ou (2/2)

Half of the signboard which was left at the tavern drifted toward the center of the street and hung in the air without any signs of falling, appearing like a sword. The wall of one of the small courtyards broke through a hole and a hunting sword that was kept for many years could be seen half of its body as though it was eager to take a look at this strange world once again.

Those grassland cavalry who were about to dismiss outside the City of Wei, abruptly realized that the machete in their sheath started to collide continuously. They wanted to leave, just then, those Tang soldiers who were about to pursue and attack, felt a strong urge to draw their swords to kill their enemies.

Two talisman intents represented blade intent.

The expression on A Da's face turned extremely ill-looking because he could sense the scent of death. He never thought that Ning Que had a more powerful tactic and he even had never thought that he himself could not differentiate if it was talisman intent of blade intent!

He made a shrieking sound full of wrath and reluctance and was forced to withdraw his fist. The breath of nature stored in his body exploded and he moved backwards down the street crazily, hoping to be free from the surroundings of the two talisman intents.

However, the ”Two” talisman of Ning Que had enveloped the whole City of Wei. How could he be able to escape?

The wind was blowing violently and A Da was yelling in despair and frustration. The clothes on the body tore apart and shortly his skin started to break into pieces. The blood that had stopped flowing earlier, began to flow out from his body in a frantic manner.

He stopped moving backward. He used his fists to cover his face while using his strength to forcefully withstand the fierce wind.

Ning Que finally moved and headed forward to seize him.

…

...

Outside the City of Wei, as the national master saw the black wind that appeared like a dragon under the gloomy clouds, looking at the sand, feeling the swift and fierce talisman intent from the other side, he remained his calm and composed temperament, but his eyes revealed a deep surge of anxiety and vigilance.

Looking at the weird weather there, the expression of those grassland cavalry became worse. Suddenly, they heard a sound of thunder coming from the city of Wei, and later countless of the sound of thunder were heard at that instant.

The national master reverted his gaze and returned to his horse-drawn carriage.

...

...

The wind subsided and the sand eroded, even the black cloud disappeared in the sky. The sun shone on the streets of the City of Wei, and the blue sky could be seen clearly, filling the atmosphere with serenity and joyfulness.

The straightest and longest street in the city of Wei had an extra pit.

A Da lied down at the bottom of the pit with his whole body covered with blood and the bones piercing out from his body. He was already half dead, looking strangely miserable. If it was not the blessing from Haotian, he would probably be dead by now.

Ning Que straightened his body gradually, making a slight chest movement with his right hand trembling a little. His face looked rather pale. but the expression in his eyes was calm and composed like usual as though he did not release 300 punches within seconds.

The endless sound of thunder heard by all the people outside the city of Wei was actually the sound of the fists landed on A Da's body. His facial expression was fairly pale. However, it was not related to the energy being used up but it was because of writing three divine talismans continuously. Even with his strong psyche power, he still felt a little overwhelmed.

A Da gave a desperate cough, and the blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to turn over his head to face Ning Que; his eyes were occupied fully with bewilderment and dreadfulness. But to hide his emotions, he revealed a contemptuous look instead.

He was not contented because he still had many methods that he had yet to utilize. Hence, he used the expression in his eyes to mock Ning Que. You still dared not accept my fist forcefully in the end.

Ning Que did not answer. He was not afraid to take the fist of the grassland youngster vigorously, but he did not feel the need to accept it forcefully. It was similar to the situation now, he was not fearful of explaining, but he did not bother explaining.

He wanted to explain something else. ”You say you can fight. Let's see how I can hit you to death.”

He stared at A Da who was half dead and said, ”I know this is cruel but facing a vicious man like you, the word, cruel is non-existence. Hence, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to make your other counterparts who are alive to be more fearful.”

Yes, many people were afraid now, frightened until their bodies were trembling.

Those grassland cavalry outside the city were desperately shuddering to strike the whip, wanted to run away from here, the faster the better, the farther the better.

Those grassland cavalry inside the city were shivering in fear and dared not moved at all. During the sand breeze, the punching sound as though the sound of thunder had resulted them to loosen their reins, causing them to cover their ears in fear.

No one had ever thought that the battle would have such an ending.

In the heart of these grassland cavalry, A Da was the gift from Tengri to the grassland, an undefeatable warrior. It was not possible to be hit like a miserable dog by the Tang Army.

The national master and Chanyu were clear of the strength of the academy. They doubted that A Da could defeat Ning Que, but they thought that he could block his opponent for a while, or even found a chance to escape.

Who would have ever thought that Ning Que would win so easily and expectedly?

A Da said earlier that Ning Que's steel arrow lost its greatest power, then what else could be done?

He was actually very powerful, but he forgot one extremely important fact.

He could only remember that Ning Que's steel arrow could greatly inspire the whole world, but he only remembered the condition of Ning Que after being enchanted. However, he forgot the fact that after Ning Que started his cultivation, the first thing he cultivated was not sword, not devil, not psyche power but a talisman.

The real identity of Ning Que was always a talisman master. He was now a divine talisman master.

Ever since the prayer at Peach Mountain, he did not use the talisman for a long time, causing many individuals to be forgotten of his identity. But he was the divine talisman master coming after Yan Se and the Sage of Calligraphy, the two most powerful divine talisman master in the human world.

A talisman master was invincible among the equivalent state. A divine talisman master was invincible among those below the Five States, unless encountering Liu Bai, Jun Mo, and Ye Su, those incredibly remarkable geniuses.

The real genius was actually not related to the word ”Tian”. The talent was also not bestowed by god but was attained through self-training, brilliant talent, and supreme will. Once obtained, it would not be gone ever again.

The cultivation talent of A Da was all granted by Haotian.

Thus, he was not a real genius.

As long as he was still in the Five States, even within one short year, he could train his dark techniques, and being evaluated based on the cultivation standard as well as the Five States Zenith… but he still could not win over the divine talisman master.

Maybe it was because death was approaching, A Da seemed to have an epiphany, and the expression in his eyes quickly became gloomy and deep in the state of gloominess was a sense of reluctance, sadness, frustration and desperation.

It was because in this battle, the difference between Ning Que and him was too big until it was impossible to make it closer, too big until it made others desperate. Even if they had the battle again, he could not picture the hope of winning at all.

”Why…” The reflection before death resulted him to express himself verbally. He looked into the sky in oblivion and muttered, ”Why… Why…”

Until the last moment, this grassland youngster was still bothered by a question that could not make his soul rest in peace. This was not related to the cultivation state anymore, but was associated with one's belief.

A Da was very proud and confident because he believed that he was Haotian's gift to the grassland.

Was his failure connected to the failure of Haotian? This was improbable. However, confronting this man before him, this was considered something that was logical and right.

Why was that so?

”This is my city.” Ning Que gazed at him and said, ”I left Chang'an but I still came to my own city. No one in Chang'an could defeat me, and of course, no one can defeat me here.”

A Da shook his head in despair, gasping and said, ”But Tengri…”

”Let me tell you something. Hengmu and you are the gifts given to the human world by her… She was always responsible for the finances at home, but she did not request for my consent before she sent these gifts out.”

Ning Que went into silence and continued, ”Since she will not be around at the moment, I would like to retrieve those gifts. It is something expected so I don't think she will be in a position to object to my decision.”

At this juncture, A Da could only understand who was the 'she' that was mentioned by Ning Que before the battle. Ning Que said that he would remain the whole body of A Da for the sake of ”her”. His eyes turned into frustration, and later hopelessness, starting to shed tears silently in agony. Lastly, he closed his eyes, and never had the chance to look at the sky again.
