Chapter 486 Just because He was Emperor Xia (1/2)
Wu Ding's heart sank. The man in black was a person who was not fearful of death.
There was nothing the man in black was afraid of. Moreover, he had an extraordinary weapon, the bow that had taken several lives. The Eastern Barbarians were skilled assassins with the sword and the bow as their strongest weapons. Countless powerhouses had collapsed under their bow and arrow. It was said that ancestors of the Eastern Barbarian were an ultimate powerhouse who was not afraid of the sun. His choice of weapon was the bow.
The man in black's bow was not on par with the legendary ancestor but it was still extremely powerful. Furthermore, there was an arrow made of black iron on the tight bowstring. The tip of the arrow was so sharp that it hurt Wu Ding's eyes.
But Wu Ding refused to blink because if he did so, he would never be able to blink ever again.
Wu Ding's sword had been crushed into pieces. Even if he still had his sword intact, it would not be of much help. The tip of the arrow was aimed at the glabella and was released. It drew a perfectly straight line in the sky, just like the motion of the stars.
He held tightly on a piece of jade that hung on his waist. It was a gift from Taiyi and he still remembers the moment when Taiyi handed him that jade.
It was a starry night without moonlight. Taiyi handed him the jade and said, ”Zi Zhao, remember. Even if the jade is broken, the person is still alive.”
Zi Zhao was Wu Ding's original name.
This piece of jade had been with him for some time but it broke today.
A layer of water started to rise around Wu Ding. It was a protection Qi shield made of mana that prevented the black iron arrow from piercing through.
Instead, the black iron arrow looked like a spear that smashed into catkins.
The arrow failed to pierce through the Qi shield and ended up falling into the Xia Canal along with Wu Ding. The man in black groaned and charged towards the surface of the water. He could see Wu Ding swimming downstream like a fish.
Within two breaths, the man in black caught up with Wu Ding. But there was a bridge ahead and a person riding a white pegasus that was held by an elegant looking girl was on the bridge. The person on the pegasus looked like he was in his teens.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
The teenager on the horse did not move at all but the man in black felt as though he had just seen the distant sky.
The waters of the Xia Canal, the moon, and the starry sky disappeared from the view of the man in black. All he could see was the white pegasus, the girl, and person on the Pegasus.
It was as if he was forcefully detached from the world.
The man in black had imagined the greatness of Emperor Xia for countless times. He could pull mountains, pluck stars from the skies, ignite like the sun and burn down vast lands.
But he had never imagined that such spooky way of fighting would exist in this world. He then realized that even Emperor Xia would not be able to do such a thing.
It was an unusual form of fighting that was beyond his knowledge. He was deeply puzzled and it was already a matter beyond life and death.
Meanwhile, Wu Ding noticed the teenager on the white pegasus.
This teenager was no longer the little prince of Xi Liang. He was a terrifying demon king. The scene that he witnessed was the same thing the man in black saw.
”Wu Ding.” Shen Lian's voice was gentle but it came pouring into Wu Ding's ears from all directions. The voice also went into the ears of the man in black.
Although Wu Ding had seen Shen Lian many times and had always known that he was extraordinary, it felt like this was the first time he really knew this person.
He nodded his head but was speechless.
Shen Lian's voice came through like the night breeze, ”I have promised Guan Longzi to rescue you. Come over here.”
