The distance was neither too far nor too close. For ordinary people, this number meant nothing, but for cultivators in the Seethrough State, this distance represented danger and even death. Because no matter if it was a Sword Master, a Talisman Master or a Psyche Master, as long as they stepped into the Seethrough State, they could attack any target within 30 feet.
The majestic spring rain fell on the carriage and on the body of the burly coachman on the shaft. The curtain of the carriage was occasionally lifted by the wind. Only a corner of the simple gown could be seen, but the person inside could not be clearly seen. The owner of the simple gown was an old man with a simple face. His flowery eyebrows drooped down and his face was full of wrinkles, as bitter and miserable as the old roots of coptis.
His name was Xiao Kuyu, a strong man supported by the military of the Tang Empire. He had entered the Seethrough State as early as 20 years ago. A few days ago, because of tonight's purge plan, he was secretly recalled to the capital from Yangguan in the south by the Military Ministry.
Outside the carriage, the wind and rain were howling, but inside the carriage, Xiao Kuyu seemed oblivious. His skinny hands were trembling slightly on his knees, and his thumbs were constantly pinching the four horizontal lines on his index and middle fingers, like withered twigs incessantly tapping on the dry, yellow earth. His eyes were closed. In front of his face was the thick curtain of the carriage, but he only needed to pinch his fingers lightly to accurately see the scene outside the front door of the Chao Mansion, looking at Chao Xiaoshu sitting cross-legged in the heavy rain.
The rain above the Spring Breeze Pavilion was disturbed by some invisible force and began to tilt. Several waves that no one could see or even perceive began to condense in the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Chao Xiaoshu, who was sitting in the rainstorm, pursed his lips. For the first time in tonight's battle, the middle-aged man's pale and handsome eyes showed a solemn expression. He had to concentrate all his energy to deal with the Psyche Master in the mysterious horse carriage. Therefore, he closed his eyes and no longer looked at the dozens of Tang elites in front of him. His right hand, which was exposed outside his sleeve, whizzed and hit the water beside him. The muddy rainwater splashed up.
As his palm hit the rain heavily, the thin cyan-steel sword deeply pierced between the eyebrows of the sadhu in the Rain-savoring Building retreated at a high speed. It turned around in the rainy sky like lightning, whistling mournfully and turning into a flowing light at a speed never shown before. It instantly flew over the courtyard wall and stabbed the carriage in the rain.
In the quiet rain, an extremely indifferent word rang out in the carriage, "Tut."
The rainbow-like green steel sword seemed to have been struck by the power contained in the word, and also seemed to have been bound by strands of invisible yuan qi in the rain. Just as it flew over the courtyard wall, it suddenly paused. Then, like a kite with its string cut, it miserably flew diagonally into the opposite wall of the alley, falling to the ground along with the rain!
The sound in the carriage in the rain seemed to have transcended the scope of space and time. It came from a hundred feet away, but at the same time, it sounded like thunder in Chao Xiaoshu's ears and Ocean of Qi.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
Chao Xiaoshu felt as if his heart was grasped by an invisible hand and began to beat violently like a war drum. He instantly lost control of the flying sword. He knew that if he did not respond, the next moment, the war drum would be cracked by the heavy beating and his heart would be crushed by the person in the carriage.
The person in the carriage in the rain, where on earth did they find such a great Psyche Master?
Chao Xiaoshu's thin lips tightened. He raised his right hand as fast as lightning and hit his chest three times. The rainwater shook off his green robe. He forcibly sealed his Ocean of Qi, but his body had already drifted diagonally off the ground with the help of the previous hit. He floated out of the gate of his house and into the street covered in rain.
With both palms heavily on the ground, Chao Xiaoshu felt the omnipresent yuan qi fluctuation in the air, and felt the numerous cold qi threads weaving a net around his body. He took a deep breath and stepped forward.
He walked toward the carriage in the rain. His face became paler and paler, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. His usual calmness had long been replaced by indifference and determination. Even though the yuan qi fluctuation in the alley would cause great harm to his body and spirit with every step he took, and even though the powerful Psyche Master's attack on his Ocean of Qi would become sharper with every step he took, he still insisted on moving forward, because he had to get close to the carriage.
At the moment when Chao Xiaoshu's heart began to beat violently, Ning Que felt something strange. In the sound of the rain, he heard the sound like a war drum. He knew that the terrible sound came from within Chao Xiaoshu's body. He used his Psyche Power to control the primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth to directly attack the enemy's internal organs!
This method seemed so magical and irresistible. Standing in the rain, his body began to stiffen. His hand holding the hilt suddenly felt very cold. He knew that the really terrible enemy had finally appeared.
Chao Xiaoshu walked toward the carriage in the rain without giving any instructions to Ning Que. Because his mind was completely focused on fighting against the enemy in the carriage, he had no time to tell Ning Que what to do.
Ning Que had seen the elder Lyu Qingchen's moves. He knew how terrible the existence of a Psyche Master was, so he knew that at this moment, he had to suppress all the fear in his heart. He was very clear that no matter how strong a Psyche Master was, his relatively fragile body was his fatal weakness. If he wanted Chao Xiaoshu to live, and if he wanted to live, then he had to think of every way possible to hurt the body of the person in the carriage and interrupt his meditation.
There was a heavy curtain of rain between the front door of the Chao Mansion and the carriage, and there was a distance of 100 feet between them. A Psyche Master could control the Qi of Heaven and Earth to ignore this distance and any restrictions of time and space, and directly attack the enemy. But he was just an ordinary person. How should he choose to interrupt the enemy's meditation?
His right foot stepped heavily on the bluestone floor, and a circle of slightly muddy water appeared around the sole of his foot. Relying on the huge recoil, Ning Que's body was like a fallen leaf swept up by the wind, and with a swoosh, he flew out of the front door of the Chao Mansion and leaped into the air.
He was still in the air when, with a clang, he accurately inserted the podao in his right hand back into the scabbard behind him. Then he grabbed the arrow in the quiver and turned his left elbow. The boxwood bow made a circle in the rain and appeared in front of him.
Floating in the rain, he suddenly pulled open the boxwood bow, tightened the tendons, and released it again. Four arrows were shot from the bowstring!
Four arrows shot toward the carriage in the rain like lightning!
When Ning Que's feet stepped into the puddle of water and his body landed on the ground again, the four arrows had already passed by Chao Xiaoshu's body. One could imagine how amazing his reaction speed and the speed of shooting the arrows were!
Since the requirement was speed, then there was no reason for him to stop. Ning Que's feet once again stepped on the accumulated rainwater on the street, and his body leaned forward like a leopard, running wildly toward the carriage. The boxwood bow in his hand was leveled in front of him, and the bowstring hummed. The arrows were shot out like lightning again!
He was running in the rainy night, and he was shooting arrows while running.
