It was dead silent outside the Academy's side door.
There was no sound outside the brick ground or the carriages by the side of the road.
Only Liu Yiqing's shrill cries reverberated in the air.
The cultivators from various sects were shocked speechless.
From their point of view, Ning Que had no reason to win today's battle, especially after Liu Yiqing revealed his powerful state before the battle. They thought that even if Ning Que cultivated in seclusion at the back of the mountain of the Academy, he would not be a match for this young powerhouse from the South Jin Kingdom.
No one had expected that the battle would end so violently after it started so easily. The scene of Liu Yiqing flying out miserably happened right before their eyes.
Could it be that this was the combination of talisman and martial arts that everyone had been talking about recently?
Could it be that Ning Que had really cultivated both talisman and martial arts in seclusion at the Academy and had succeeded?
The cultivators by the side of the road pondered in shock.
The spectators outside the side door did not think much of it. They could not understand the battle between the two powerhouses. However, in the hearts of the ordinary Tangs, the students of the Second floor of the Academy were almost like gods. It was natural for them to defeat the swordsman from the South Jin Kingdom.
The reason why there was dead silence was because the battle had ended too quickly and people did not have time to be excited. When they were about to cheer, they saw Liu Yiqing's miserable state and heard his crazed cries.
The Tangs worshipped the strong and sympathized with the weak. They did not like this person from the South Jin Kingdom who dared to challenge the Academy. However, when they saw the previously powerful opponent become blind and miserable, they could not help but feel pity for him. They all remained silent.
…
…
"How do you know the Divine Skill?"
Liu Yiqing stood under the peach tree and looked at the sky with listless eyes. He held the sword hilt tightly in his hand and was finally more clear-headed than before. His face was filled with fear and great unwillingness.
He suddenly became angry again. He held the sword hilt and stabbed everywhere like a madman. He shouted, "I can't accept this! Ning Que, where are you? Come and fight with me again! "
Liu Yiqing was indeed very unwilling, especially after he found out that he was blind. His unwillingness became even stronger, directly turning his sadness and helplessness into anger.
He was the younger brother of Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword. He was destined to be the leader of the new generation of disciples in the Sword Garret of South Jin Kingdom. Even the Second Brother of the Academy believed that he had the potential to catch up to Liu Bai.
From the first simple stroke, it could be seen that his cultivation in Sword Taoism was extremely terrifying. In terms of strength and state, he was definitely not weaker than Ning Que. Even if he might be defeated in the battle because of a momentary slip, he should not be defeated so miserably and without the ability to fight back.
Liu Yiqing used to think that the reason why Ning Que could defeat Long Qing, Guan Hai and kill Dao Shi was not because he was stronger than them, but because he was lucky and cunning.
He had been preparing for this battle for three months. Whether Ning Que used the horrible iron arrow or the Divine Talisman left by Master Yan Se, he had already prepared a way to deal with it.
However, he did not expect Ning Que to use a knife.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, he only used his saber.
He only used one stroke!
Liu Yiqing believed that if Ning Que had not hidden Haotian's Divine Light in his saber, he would not have been unprepared and lost so miserably.
Looking at the dark night in front of him and recalling the process of the previous battle, he was filled with grief and indignation. He thought that if they fought again, he would definitely win.
Liu Yiqing leaned against the peach tree, his listless eyes falling somewhere. He held the remaining hilt of his sword tightly in his hand and shouted to the hillside in a trembling voice, "Come on! Let's fight again! "
Ning Que looked at him quietly and suddenly said, "You have already lost. Why should I fight with you again?"
Liu Yiqing heard his voice and quickly turned around. He looked over with his horrifying white eyes and almost fell down. He shouted, "Because you cheated, so I am not convinced!"
Ning Que looked at him and said calmly, "How did I cheat?"
Liu Yiqing's left hand trembled and stroked the rough trunk of the peach tree. He wanted to hold it tighter to make his body more stable. He said in a trembling voice, "This is the Academy, and you …"
Before he finished his words, Ning Que interrupted him and asked, "The Academy? Do you think I, a student of the Second floor of the Academy, have the geographical advantage? We are in the south of Chang 'an, surrounded by Tangs, so you have lost the harmony of the people. Or is it that today is the day I break out of seclusion, when my spirit is at its peak, so you have lost the timing? "
Looking at the resentful expression on his face, Ning Que sneered and said, "Don't forget that you have been waiting at the gate of the Academy for three months. The whole world knows that you have been waiting for the day I break out of seclusion. So the location and the time of the battle are chosen by you. So why are you not convinced?"
Liu Yiqing's body trembled slightly. The blood in his tattered coat mixed with dust and dripped to the ground.
Ning Que had never shown any mercy to his enemies. Although he had turned away from Sangsang today and did not take out that thing, which meant that he had spared his opponent's life in advance, his original purpose was to make his opponent suffer more than death. So how could he not suffer a mental blow after the victory?
"So, if you want to be dissatisfied, you should not be dissatisfied with me, but with your stupid thinking ability. You shouldn't have blocked the gate of the Academy and provoked our pride. You shouldn't have taken out Chao Xiaoshu's sword to provoke my killing intent."
Hearing this, Liu Yiqing suddenly laughed crazily. Snot and tears flowed down his face. He pointed at Ning Que with the sword hilt in his hand and shouted hoarsely, "I know you are cold-blooded and heartless, but I have underestimated how heartless you are. You clearly saw Chao Xiaoshu's sword in my hand, but you did not care about the safety of the person who once helped you. You did not even leave a gap in your mind. I have been practicing swordsmanship for many years, and I have a heart of steel. Today, I have met someone colder than me. I should not be convinced that I have been defeated by you."
The proud young powerhouse from the South Jin Kingdom finally admitted defeat for the first time after today's defeat. However, his words were still very bitter and full of despair and mockery.
Ning Que looked down at the dust on the bluestone bricks under his feet. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Yiqing. He said, "First of all, Chao Xiaoshu and I are just acquaintances. We only talk about fried egg noodles and money. We don't talk about gratitude or hatred."
"Secondly, I don't know how his sword fell into your hands, but I know that an idiot like you can't possibly defeat him. What right do you have to use this sword to disturb my mind? What right do you have to be unconvinced?"
