The Banquet (II)

Who said that one couldn't shoot a man dead without an arrow? Many people would say so.

The sound made by the string had spread throughout the mist before the river shore. No one had ever seen someone kill another without nocking an arrow. When Ning Que killed the commander surnamed Zi, cut him into dozens of pieces of flesh in the autumn rain in front of the Red Lotus Temple just by using his bowstring, Long Qing and his subordinates were fleeing to the mountains. They did not witness the scene.

In the autumn rain, Ning Que got to know about his fate. From that moment on, he had the power to kill with bowstring, but he never practiced it in the following years. He had suppressed his power in the deepest depths of the quiver, and only showed it to the world today as he faced the powerful cultivators that were closing in on him.

Hundreds of powerful cultivators pounced on him with no fear of death.

Ning Que pulled the bowstring in silence.
