Chapter 234 — Taking a Life on a Night of Wind and Snow
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Seeing this, the Xuanliao Demon Ape grew uneasy. From far off came wave upon wave of dreadful tremors, and then the snow in the sky turned to a fine drizzle pattering down — it was the divine powers of Daoist Lingjing and Little Tathagata melting the great snow of the black night, turning snow into rain.
What fell from the sky was now snowflakes, now fine rain. How long it went on, no one could say, when suddenly a cock's crow rang out of the darkness, and the darkness came surging swiftly westward. At that very moment Shen Mu, Long Jiaonan, the Dutian Demon King, and the rest all sprang up in a flash, striking at one another almost in the same instant, every hand dealing a killing blow!
The Dragon Qilin roared, shook itself, and revealed its true form, flames blazing all around it; it raised a forepaw and pinned down the head of the red snake that came lunging at it, smashing the serpent's skull into the earth. In the space of a breath Shen Mu rushed to Daoist Chiyun's side; the countless flying swords of Daoist Chiyun were all blocked by the Dutian Demon King standing behind Shen Mu.
The Xuanliao Demon Ape leaped up from behind the Dutian Demon King, and the Ximilo came down with terrible force on Daoist Chiyun's brow.
With a hiss —
A blade of sword-light ran through Daoist Chiyun's chest. Shen Mu flicked a finger, and the sword-light swept level across the neck of Shao Yuan, who had not yet come to his senses.
Long Jiaonan seized the tail of the great snake; the red snake shrank, and the woman shot into the air, vanishing in a flicker without a trace.
