These ten-odd people landed on their feet, but they still could not withstand the force transmitted through the antlers and were forced back again and again. Mud and rocks flew beneath their feet as the antlers pushed them onward, still crashing toward the youth. The youth did not move in the slightest. He sneered, "The Xiong family has dominated the True Heaven Palace for so many years. It is time to yield the position of palace master.
To kill a man one must draw blood; to cut grass one must pull out the roots.
If your Xiong family is not utterly exterminated, we of the Yu family will still have to worry about your counterattack. " Before him, a strange beast the size of a cloth doll suddenly swelled in body. It beat its chest with both fists and let out a world-shaking roar, then grabbed the incoming antlers with both hands.
The antlers abruptly stopped. Thud.
The corpse of the giant stag in the air fell and lay motionless beside the doe. The youth laughed loudly and said, "Kill Naikui and the little princess, then go back and report! " The divine ability practitioners of the True Heaven Palace stepped forward. One primordial arm after another flew up. The woman showed an expression of unbearable sorrow, turned, and held the little girl in her arms.
She said softly, "Nannan, it will be quick. . . " "Mother, will we see Grandfather and Grandmother?
" The woman's heart trembled. "Yes. .
.
" "And Father?
" the little girl asked, her eyes bright.
The woman shed tears. "You will see him. .
.
" The little girl was calm and comforted the young woman, saying, "Mother, I am not afraid anymore.
Do not cry either.
I miss Grandfather and Grandmother.
Father looked so frightening when he died, covered in blood. He scared me into crying, but when I see him later, he should. . . he should smile.
.
. " Whoosh - one primordial arm after another transformed. Spirit trees and strange beasts flew into the air and pounced toward them. Just as these primordial arms were about to fall upon them, a flash of light suddenly passed, and Shen Mu appeared before the mother and daughter. He spread both arms, and the brocade robe on his body flew off automatically, shooting forward.
The youth struck out with a palm, landing on the brocade robe. Shen Mu's arms rotated, and the brocade robe whirled with a whistle, growing larger and larger. In an instant it became a great robe more than ten zhang across. The primordial arms of the True Heaven Palace experts bombarded the brocade robe, but the robe caught them all, and together with those primordial arms it vanished! Then, some hundred zhang away from them, countless sword lights blazed.
Eight thousand swords moved at once, chopping the brocade robe and the primordial arms within it to pieces! The divine ability practitioners of the True Heaven Palace were startled and immediately felt they had lost their connection to their primordial arms. Among them were not a few experts at the Heaven-Man realm.
The primordial arms of Heaven-Man realm experts were extremely powerful, yet even those were cut apart. The crowd was about to attack when the youth hurriedly raised his hand to stop them. He probed, "Fellow Daoist, this is a family matter of our True Heaven Palace. " Now the brocade robe, along with the primordial arms of these True Heaven Palace experts, had been destroyed by his own Sword Treads Mountains and Rivers.
How could his heart not ache as if cut by a knife? "I knew long ago that doing good deeds brings no good.
I have lost greatly. .
.
" Shen Mu squeezed a smile onto his face and said with a smile, "What is this young brother called?
" "Yu Bochuan of the Yu family of the True Heaven Palace.
