Chapter 469 — The Crafty Old Ghost
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Imperial Preceptor Jingping's primordial spirit charged out from that dim, hazy heavenly palace, treading the divine bridge, and came flying with a sword, seeming to ignore space; the sword light passed through time, and in the very instant the statue grasped the Azure Mystic Water Dragon Pearl, his primordial spirit ran the statue through the brow, the blade emerging from the back of its head! That "statue" bled from the brow, and blood and brains flowed from the back of its head—not like a statue at all, but like a living being! A smile appeared on Imperial Preceptor Jingping's placid face; his primordial spirit rose into the air, one hand behind his back, the other holding the sword, joining his own body to surround and kill Bagou.
"My target was never you," he said with a smile.
Chi, chi, chi! Attacking from both sides with his primordial spirit, sword light flashing, he severed Bagou's four limbs, then raised his sword again and struck off Bagou's head.
"The Divine Bridge! " Shen Mu cried out in shock, and his suspended heart finally settled.
Imperial Preceptor Jingping was indeed worthy of being a sage who appears once in five hundred years: from the time Shen Mu and the others built the spatial-arithmetic model of the Divine Bridge, scarcely half a year had passed, and he had already refined the Divine Bridge! "Old sneaking bastard—complete the Divine Bridge, enter the heavenly palace, and he will be a god; and yet he still has to skulk in a corner and stab people in the back.
. . " Shen Mu grumbled inwardly.
Behind him came the battle cries of countless women; the divine-power wielders of the great families, led by the heads of their clans, were killing their way toward the True Heaven Palace. Mu Yingxue passed by him and said in a low voice: "Little man, so long as Imperial Preceptor Jingping lives, do not ever rebel. You are no match for him in cunning!
" He Yiyi too rushed past him and whispered: "If you rebel, you will die very neatly!
Imperial Preceptor Jingping is far too sinister! " Shen Mu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He thought: "I have never once thought of rebelling.
But that fellow Imperial Preceptor Jingping is indeed sinister.
