Chapter 467 — The Asura Blood Realm
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The turbaned man smiled faintly. "Men die for wealth, birds die for food. Even women as fair and refined as you are foolish and ignorant, unworthy of the flesh you wear. Very well. If you want death, then I can only send you to it."
He was about to turn and leave when He Yiyi suddenly laughed. "Since Bagou has come, there is no need for him to leave!"
Countless great stones surged around her and swept with a clatter toward the turbaned man.
At the same time, nearly all the Western Lands clan chiefs unleashed their arts. Behind Fang Caidie, mountain giants raised enormous mountain pillars, using peaks as weapons, and swept them at the turbaned man.
Luo Yinyu drew her sword and thrust; countless flying swords followed her blade, skimming along the peaks swept out by the mountain giants, howling as they attacked the turbaned man.
Mu Yingxue flicked her fingers again and again; Fu Yunxi wrenched both hands downward, and countless thunderbolts burst forth. A thunderstorm, carrying the deadly poison Mu Yingxue hurled, crashed down upon the turbaned man.
Liu Ruyin and Liu Zhenqing, mother and daughter, unbound the chains from the golden coffin; one chain after another coiled toward the turbaned man like black flood-dragons.
The heads of the Western Lands' great clans paid no heed to the rules of the martial world at all; without a word they rushed him in a body, determined to keep him there no matter what.
Shen Mu nodded inwardly. "Well done."
The turbaned man walked straight toward the True Heaven Palace, sword light flashing behind him, cutting off every attack along the way.
Before He Yiyi's formation could close, a single sword stroke carved a road through it; the mountain pillars swept over by the giants were severed by sword light like bolts of white silk; the thunderstorm in midair was intercepted by his sword arts and cut across the sky; the chains from the golden coffin were touched by his sword tip and rolled back.
"Fine swordsmanship! Judged by swordsmanship alone, he has no match in all the Western Lands! Truly fine swordsmanship!"
Shen Mu's face was grave. The turbaned man's swordsmanship was indeed transcendent, reaching a realm of the sword dao beyond the fathoming of gods and ghosts; the formations and sword arts of the mortal world could scarcely stop him now.
"Qi'er, activate the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl!"
Xiong Qi'er roused the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl. In an instant azure light blazed, a dragon's cry rang long, and azure radiance flooded sky-wide toward the True Heaven Palace.
Wherever that sky-filling azure light passed, everything was turned to wood; even the peak giants surrounding the True Heaven Palace abruptly stiffened, green suffusing their bodies as countless green vines grew at furious speed.
The True Heaven Palace women atop those peak giants' heads were likewise seized by the Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl in an instant, pop, pop, pop, tender shoots and blossoms sprouting all over their heads and faces!
The Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl, one of the True Heaven Palace's four great spirit treasures, erupted with terrifying power in the hands of a little girl like Xiong Qi'er. The turbaned man's figure, lit by the azure light, also abruptly froze, his body seeming about to turn to wood!
The Azure Profound Water Dragon Pearl's ferocity surpassed imagination!
Just then, amid the drifting sea of clouds, several women walked out from the True Heaven Palace's halls and stood upon the cloud crests, each raising a pearl in her hand.
Three pearls rose into the air, growing brighter and brighter. In one were the souls of turtle and serpent; in another, the spirit of a white tiger; in the third, firelight glimmered, and a divine bird swam within.
