Chapter 36: Nie Long Fainted & Nie Lie's Determination.
Ye Zong felt the gaze from the Rinnegan is as if the gaze from the God itself. But he also felt that I can't use these eyes for a long time.
Ye Zong ' These eyes must consume his soul force in enormous rate. I can feel the power in those eyes. But still I have the chance. I must buy some time to wear out his Soul Force and then game over for him ' He thought and kept his distance from me.
I watched over him and tried to use. The Universal Pull of the Six paths power. And as soon as I used it Ye Zong was pulled towards me . At first he struggled to break away.
When Ye Zong Struggled to break away. My Soul Force consumption increased. I thought ' It is getting harder and harder to fight as the time goes on. I must find a way. '
And as Ye Zong came near . By some Instinct I holded his neck And my Soul Force started to increase. I and Ye Zong at the same time realised that Rinnegan has the ability to absorb the Soul Force just like the original Six Paths Power.
And my Condition Stabilised and Ye Zong quickly backed off from me. He is now showing a dangerous glint in his eyes. This battle has already passed the point of being a regular Spar. Both of them are fighting with their life on the line. Ye Zong doesn't want to lose the fate of his daughter. And I, Nie Long fighting for my brothers future.
I again tried to use the Universal Pull and this time Ye Zong resisted with full force by stabbing his tail in the ground and I also used all my power. I thought ' Although he has the power of Black Gold Rank and after fighting me a such powerful battle he must also have reached his limits and If I could hold him at least 2 seconds I will win this one '
Ye Zong is waiting patiently and when he sensed that my pull is strong enough he let go of his resistance and used the momentum to use a powerful punch to me . He was extremely fast. And I don't have enough Soul Force to pull a time Stop.
Without any other option at that time for my thinking. I summoned Zangetsu and directly Slashed with my Supreme Sword intent obtained from Zangetsu. Ye Zongs fist has connected with my body. I was blasted away by his punch.
I was unable to move any part of my body. I felt multiple fractures in my body . My ribs, arm, legs. And even with my abnormal healing ability it may take a month to recover normally.
My sword attack missed Ye Zong. A huge Sword cut extending could be seen at his Side. Ye Zong saw that and felt a Cold Sweat flowing throgh his back. He looked at me who is barely breathing and said
" Brat , I lost this fight. I fully acknowledge my defeat. "
I just stared at him and I was unable to say anything as the damage to my body is very serious and He continued " When I was about to give my final attack, You instinctively activated your Sword Attack but at the last moment, For not to kill me you shifted the attack to my side. "
If you have used that attack directly against me. I would have been the one lying in the ground in two halves."
While Ye Zong was speaking all along his speech was in the manner of a serious person.
But suddenly he struggled and felt very irritated what he is about to say.
" I will betroth Yun'er to that Rogue Nie Lie as per our bet. But before Announcing I must get my father Ye Mo's Consent. " He said and before he could say anything I fainted due to the fatigue. All I thought at the moment is ' Bastard I am feeling heavy pain all over my body due to you at least take me for some First aid and speak your mind '.
After a while I woke up. And when I was trying to get up I felt pain all over my body. I saw a Cute little girl sleeping near me in the chair with head lying on my bed. Her face is full of tear stains.
I could imagine how much she would have cried when she saw me like this. I thought in my heart ' Sorry Little Yu '.
And I found someone entering the room . It was none other but Nie Lie. And along with him I saw Ye Ziyun came to visit. When they both saw I was awake. They came to me faster. And by their sound Nie Yu got awakened.
Nie Yu woke up and saw me awake. And hugged my head and started crying " Brother, little Yu was afraid that brother will not wake up at all. Brother is full of wounds and sleeping all the time for three days." She vented her feelings all out.
Ye Ziyun and Nie Lie who was in the side also teared a little. After I apologised to her and told her that I am alright. And I sent her to her room so she get some proper sleep.
And Nie Lie just asked " What happened between You and City Lord Ye Zong? "
I saw him and he is asking with a serious expression and there is no guilt. So he must have not known about the bet. And Ye Ziyun is also serious about the conversation as it involves the fight between her father and Nie Lie's Brother.
I just said " Nothing much , I was overconfident about my strength and had a spar with him. But I can't even take a punch from him. How laughable that I thought I was so strong to take him down. " I just said half truth and half lie.
I saw Nie Lie is not convinced as he stared right at me. At that time Ye Zong came to visit me . Must have been informed by guards or maids in the manor. Both Nie Lie and Ye Ziyun welcomed Ye Zong.
Ye Zong replied to Nie Lie's question " He fought with me because I beat you up pretty hard in Yun'er 's Courtyard. He was not convinced that I have the right to be heavy handed at you. " Ye Zong stared at Nie Lie.
In Nie Lie's eyes there were numerous expression joy, gentleness and guilt . He himself couldn't tell what he was feeling. Ye Ziyun at the side also felt guilty. Because all these things happened because of her.
I started speaking " Ziyun, Remember this is never your fault and don't blame your self. If you blame your self for this and closed your self all these pain I am feeling now will be for naught "
" Nie Lie, I fought with City Lord Ye Zong under condition of a bet. That if I win he will betroth Ye Ziyun to be married to you and if I loose I will not bring this topic to him ever again and he will be the one to decide his daughter's marriage. "
" But I failed , I am Sorry , I was always wanted to do you something. You are the one taking care of me. I was never even had a chance to act like a big brother to you. So I thought I could at least have a marriage fixed for you with the girl you love. But Still "
I stared at Ye Zong and he understood my intention and stayed silent. Ye Ziyun finally understand why her father and Nie Long went all out in the fight without either of them giving up. Nie Lie was shocked about the bet and how his brother felt. He knows now how his brother feeling about him and how his raise in standings affected his brother. Though his brother know that he is special.
I continued " Although I failed, Nie Lie proove yourself worthy to him to have his daughter as your wife. And proove it to him that she will be 100 times that you will let her have a happy life compared to how he kept his daughter. Proove him that you will be the best Son in Law that he could find even if he searched the whole world. "
Nie Lie stayed silent during the entire time. He just said " I will proove it to him ". This itself his promise. He left the room and Ye Ziyun who heard this was conflicted don't know what to think. But she was slightly happy and her heart started beating faster when She heard Nie Lie's claim. She also left leaving me and Ye Zong alone.
Ye Zong still staring at me for not telling the truth. I said " If you have won, by your pride . You can never acknowledge Nie Lie. No matter what he does you will never appreciate him in the outside and always see him as a person trying to steal your daughter from you. "
" But Now you can judge Nie Lie from a father in law perspective. And judge him to have your heart at ease when you betroth your daughter to my brother. And who knows maybe you will have even more of a close bond with my brother. "
Ye Zong's Mouth twitches when he heard the last sentence in particular. And he left the room making me think about my future plans.
