The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Bang, bang, bang—a surging, majestic power poured from Shen Mu's body, snapping the demonic rune chains around him. He raised his hand to meet the heavenly demon general's primordial spirit and its ferocious palm.
Shen Mu gave a muffled groan, his body flung high, shooting toward the upper sky—but the upper sky was filled with the divine powers of countless gods and demons, the might of divine weapons and demon weapons raging unchecked. To fly up there was certain death with no burial ground!
Countless runes surged around him, wrapping him and spinning with a clatter. In the instant before he would have plunged into the forbidden zone of the sky, Shen Mu's figure vanished.
Bang—
He crashed down more than ten li away. The terrifying force of the heavenly demon general's primordial spirit palm still sent him tumbling and rolling, knocking over swaths of divine-power wielders charging into battle.
Shen Mu rolled dozens of times before he finally steadied himself.
Countless divine-power wielders rushed forward past him, raising all manner of primordial weapons as they ran. In midair the primordial weapons slanted down like rain, studding the ground ahead, and who knew how many demons were buried beneath those saber and sword primordial weapons.
"I'm still alive?"
Shen Mu hastily felt over his body and found that although he was covered in wounds, the heavenly demon general's seemingly certain-kill strike had not harmed him. He was both startled and delighted.
"That move of the Woodcutter Sage—its power was inconceivably great! Could it be that he knew I was in danger and deliberately used that move so I could learn it and survive a certain-death situation?"
He reached out and grasped at the air. The Carefree Sword came whistling over with the other flying swords and transformed in his palm into a sword elixir.
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind him: "I think I've seen you before!"
Shen Mu turned to look, and saw a majestic deity appear behind him. On that deity's shoulder, a girl with two long braids tilted her head and studied him.
