Chapter 35: He Will Die Miserably
The staves of Buddhist disciples are similar to the swords of sword cultivators; they help maximize the power of their arrays and can also be used for close combat.
But Wugou hadn’t used his staff since the competition began.
Ning Ke felt this behavior was a bit too arrogant.
So facing him, he would be arrogant once too, meeting this little monk on his own terms.
“…Okay.” Wugou didn’t refuse.
Ning Ke smiled, tapped his toes on the ground, and the entire arena lit up.
Lights divided into a grid shape.
“Chessboard Array.” Wugou narrowed his eyes.
Circulating his movement technique, he dodged the white light appearing out of thin air. Looking at where he stood, a crack had already appeared.
“I’ll set up a Killing Array for you.” Ning Ke raised ten fingers. Fine threads shot out from his fingertips, manipulating the layout of the array. Beams of white and black light interwove into a net, clearly intending to force Wugou into a dead end!
Abbot Wujue in the stands was full of disbelief: “Isn’t this child a sword cultivator? How can he have such high attainments in arrays?”
Other Sect Masters also looked at Gao Ze: “Sect Master Gao, does your Sword Sect teach arrays too?”
Gao Ze: “…If I say he taught himself, do you believe it?”
“Don’t believe it!”
“…Then I won’t say anything.”
“A Killing Array is not a dead end; it can be broken.” Wugou’s feet moved as fast as the wind. His clear and clean eyes reflected the veins of the entire array.
After a few breaths, he found the eye of the array. Turning qi into force with his feet, he kicked the black and white chess pieces into disorder. In an instant, the great array dispersed.
But Ning Ke smiled crookedly. In the next moment, another great array descended over Wugou’s head, like a cage, seeing that it was about to trap Wugou!
Wugou exerted force with the hand holding the Buddhist beads, striking a few palms against the corners of that cage.
The spiritual energy of the magic array dispersed.
He kept his palms together. Spiritual energy threads generated at some unknown time had already bound Ning Ke’s body.
Pull one hair and the whole body moves.
As long as Ning Ke moved forward, he would definitely be injured.
But Ning Ke just smiled. In the next moment, red light ignited around his body.
Only by looking closely could one see it was an extremely thin layer of flame.
Burning through the spiritual energy threads, Ning Ke closed in on Wugou in the blink of an eye.
One hand attacked Wugou’s neck, but only gripped it without applying force.
Leaning close to Wugou’s ear, he asked: “Did Little Master figure out what kind of person I am?”
Wugou paused slightly but didn’t resist. Instead, he sighed: “I can only see that you are not of this world, and… you bear a will to die. I’m afraid you will lose your life in the future.”
Since childhood, he had been able to see some karma.
This was also the reason he entered the Buddhist Sect.
In his view, the aura on Ning Ke was very special.
He couldn’t see the origin at a glance, but he could see the end.
That was death.
A very miserable death.
Ning Ke lowered his eyes, thinking, This person guessed it all right.
He let go and said, “Little Master Wugou, it is enough that you know these words in your heart; do not tell others.”
“After all, everyone has their own fate, determined by heaven, not by oneself. As a member of the Buddhist Sect, you should know these principles.”
Wugou nodded.
Looking again, Ning Ke had already left the stage and was saying something to Lou Yunxiao.
The little monk’s gaze fell on Lou Yunxiao.
He frowned slightly.
After all, the karma he saw was that Ning Ke’s death was inextricably linked to Lou Yunxiao.
Then why were the two of them still so close?
However, he didn’t plan to delve deeper.
Having promised that benefactor, he couldn’t break his word.
After Ning Ke finished competing with Wugou, it was Lou Yunxiao and Zhuang Yusheng’s turn.
“Good luck, Eldest Senior Brother.” Both Ning Ke and Ning Xiaoxiao cheered for Lou Yunxiao with smiles on their faces.
Lou Yunxiao paused briefly, then for the first time showed a competitive side, saying, “I will definitely win against him.”
Ning Xiaoxiao’s eyes curved, thinking, Is this rivals fighting each other?
A massive Shura Field (romantic conflict), she looked forward to it the most!
“Finally, it’s our turn.” Zhuang Yusheng took out his guqin, his expression rarely serious.
“Statement in advance, I absolutely won’t go easy on you just because you are blind in both eyes.”
“I don’t need you to go easy,” Lou Yunxiao said coldly. “Just don’t cry when I win later.”
“!!!”
Lou Yunxiao and Zhuang Yusheng had fought before they were fifteen.
At that time, Zhuang Yusheng almost won, but lost, and cried while lying on the ground out of anger.
From then on, this matter became Zhuang Yusheng’s dark history.
But he knew that with Lou Yunxiao’s indifferent personality, he would absolutely not expose him!
But now he actually said it in public!
Zhuang Yusheng looked down at the stage; A-Ke was laughing the happiest!
Lou Yunxiao did it on purpose!
This person really! Really harbored bad intentions inside!
“Cut the useless talk! This time I will definitely beat you!” Zhuang Yusheng played the qin with both hands. In the next moment, the qin sound turned into sabers, spears, swords, and halberds attacking Lou Yunxiao!
Lou Yunxiao’s ribbon fluttered with the wind. Icy cold qi poured out, but only blocked the spiritual energy-formed weapons for an instant.
In the next instant, he raised his sword and swung.
Without any sword move, just a light sword swing, yet it seemed to contain peerless power, slashing down from mid-air!
Boom—
The arena split directly. The vertical and horizontal Sword Intent neutralized all attacks. If Zhuang Yusheng hadn’t run fast enough, that sword would have injured him!
“Fuck! Lou Yunxiao, you bastard, you actually realized Sword Intent!” Zhuang Yusheng couldn’t help cursing in the street vernacular.
His shout also shocked all the onlookers.
The three major Sect Masters in the stands looked at Gao Ze in unison: “This must be taught by you, right?”
Gao Ze: “…If I say he realized it himself and I just gave some pointers, do you believe it?”
“…” The Sect Masters didn’t want to talk to Gao Ze anymore.
Their expressions looking at Lou Yunxiao also changed.
At such a young age, realizing Sword Intent. Even if he was blind, he would inevitably become an extremely strong combat power in the future.
It was just… that demonic energy.
It was always a sore point.
“So what if it’s Sword Intent?” Zhuang Yusheng’s hair was messy, but his eyes were shockingly bright. holding the qin with one hand, he exerted force with his fingers, letting the strings cut his skin.
Subsequently, using that hand, he played a tune extremely fast.
Sharp-eyed people could see his blood mixed with spiritual energy actually forming several runes in the air along with the tune.
At the same time, his momentum also surged to the peak of the Golden Core stage!
The terrifying pressure stunned the Sect Masters in the stands.
“This kid.” Hong Yao shrugged: “Really competitive, even using the Blood Tune.”
On the arena, Lou Yunxiao also frowned.
He sensed danger.
Blocking with his long sword horizontally, Lou Yunxiao was wrapped by densely packed runes. If he cut them, they would regenerate.
Before long, several wounds were added to his body.
In addition, that qin sound constantly interfered with his judgment.
Scenes of the sect annihilation flashed through his mind over and over again.
Bewitching him, stimulating him, making him fearful, making him weak.
It even faintly deprived him of his perception of the outside world.
Cold sweat seeped from Lou Yunxiao’s forehead.
Ning Ke saw something was wrong with him and called out: “Senior Brother!”
His voice contained a thread of spiritual thought, allowing Lou Yunxiao to hear it clearly.
It also made Lou Yunxiao snap back to reality instantly.
Peerless Sword Intent wrapped around the Cangyin Sword. Following Lou Yunxiao’s footwork, it broke through all the rune qin sounds.
In the next instant, his long sword was already pressed against Zhuang Yusheng’s neck.
The Sword Intent cut the skin.
Just a bit further forward, and the head would be separated from the body.
Zhuang Yusheng sighed lightly, his momentum slowly falling back.
He looked in Ning Ke’s direction and said, “I lost.”
But he pushed away Lou Yunxiao’s long sword, walked to his side, and whispered, “But in terms of feelings, you are always a coward.”
“In this aspect, I will never lose to you.”
