1100 Come And Go (2/2)

Thud! The rocks on the cliff were all over, and the air was filled with smoke and dust.

Ning Que's body was thrown out due to the quakes.

The smoke and dust started to fade away, clearing the vision. The Drunkard was seen to be holding the flagon that was half-stuck in the solid rock. Blood was all over his body, especially at the back of his head; the blood kept flowing out.

Ning Que's face and body were stained by blood too.

Both of them looked tragic.

The Drunkard looked at him with blood at the corner of his mouth. His glance was horrific and ice-cold, and he did not look like a human anymore.

”How… how dare you ambush me?” His voice sounded callous too, as if he was not a human. His anger has reached the greatest extent at this point. He never thought that he would be placed in such an embarrassing state by a junior who has not even surpass the Fifth State. He was triggered even more by the fact that he was almost killed by him. He thought that all this happened solely because of Ning Que's sneak attack. Or else on what basis?

Ning Que had never seen such a shameless person like him. Even though he called himself the shame of the academy all this while, he also felt that the Drunkard was unbelievably shameless.

Ambush... Didn't you ambush my Elder Brother too?

”How dare... how dare you ambush me?”

Having heard the Drunkard's cold, furious, arrogant and intermittent question, Ning Que emotionlessly answered, ” I dare to even f*** your mother, what could you do?”

…

…

What could he do? There was nothing that he could do.

There was still an unsurpassable gap in terms of state between Ning Que and the best few in the world. As he was not in Chang'an, it was hard for him to beat grand cultivator like the Drunkard. But Ning Que had special advantages as he cultivated Haoran Qi with the dark methods. Additionally, he cultivated with Sangsang in the Buddha's chessboard for thousands of years. His body was extraordinarily strong, thus would be hard to cause fatal injury on him from head to toe. Back then, when he was watched Sangsang left Chang'an City, he himself wanted to break his heart apart but yet he failed, let alone being hurt by the enemies?

He was yet to reach the mythical state of the immortality of Devil's Doctrine, but he was now a 'loud bronze pea' that could not be steamed, cooked, smashed, and fried. You could surmount him, but it was difficult to kill him, so he could also be a sticky candy that you could not get rid of or tear apart.

Long Qing prepared numerous strategies to kill him, but he only managed to cause excessive bleeding on him, failing on the assissination. Although the Drunkard showed his hidden peculiar doctrine of the sword, killing Ning Que was still not an easy task. Ning Que would like to see the Drunkard attempting to kill him.

There were four people in the mountains at the moment: the Abbey Dean, the Elder Brother, the Drunkard, and Ning Que.

Sangsang had entered the city of Helan.

Though no one knew why must she entered the city of Helan, but obviously, she was confident that she would be able to free herself from the tracing of the Abbey Dean and the Drunkard, and returned to Chang'an as long as she entered that town.

”Kill her.” The Abbey Dean's voice was heard in between the mountains. It was calm and determined, without a single tinge of hesitation.

This statement was directed to the Drunkard. The Drunkard glanced at Ning Que and disappeared.

Ning Que felt a hint of coldness all of a sudden as he saw the glimpse of the Drunkard before he left.

The Drunkard's glance was cold and brutal with a clear meaning that he was going to kill her now, but there was nothing that Ning Que could do. He could only witness her death with his eyes.

Subsequently, another voice was produced. It was from the Elder Brother. ”Let's go! Let's bring her back to Chang'an!”

Ning Que looked at the Elder Brother who was covered in blood, but was still calmly lifting the wooden rod in front of him, and the broken sword on him. He did not know how to react.

He ambushed the Drunkard, but he only gained a partial success. Next, he was thinking that he could work together with the Elder Brother to seeking for opportunities with ferocious will, at least to ensure that Sangsang would be safe from danger.

The Abbey Dean spoiled his plans by a single instruction. The Abbey Dean stood at the peak, therefore, he was able to see furthest.

The weakest part between the mountains was not Ning Que, but outside the mountains.

Now the weakest was Haotion. The Drunkard was on his way to kill her. What could Ning Que do? Should he stay and help the heavily injured Eldest Brother, or leave to rescue the heavily injured Sangsang? He could only choose one which would mean to abandon another.

The Eldest Brother started speaking again. He, too, said one word to spoil the Abbey Dean's plan. ”I am not gonna die.”

”The Eldest Brother never lies.” Ning Que firmly believed in this and the fact that at the end of this story, he would not be crying and shouting, blaming the Eldest Brother for lying to him before the end of his life, because the Eldest Brother would never tell lies.

He jumped down from the cliff, and rushed towards the city of Helan.

Today, in between the mountains, he came and went.

Perhaps everything in the mortal world was just as such. It might look repetitive or even boring, but it had to be done because no matter leaving or returning or leaving again, there was a reason for us to do so.
