Shen Mu stepped forward.
Upon the hilt of the demon blade at Zhe Huali's back, that demon eye suddenly opened and rolled, taking on a blood-red hue; the demon eye stared at him in excitement, and after a moment it closed. Zhe Huali walked on.
"Follow me.
" Shen Mu followed him, and Zhe Huali led him eastward, past the divine city; along the way there were many demon experts keeping watch, wave after wave of them, yet when they saw Zhe Huali they did not search him. When they came a hundred li east of the city, Zhe Huali halted and said calmly: "Keep going east.
" Shen Mu did as he was told and walked forward; then he felt a pair of eyes fall upon him, like two blades stabbing into his body! Shen Mu's muscles went rigid, then twitched twice, shattering the blade intent.
When the blade intent in that gaze was shattered, it even gave out a crisp ringing, ding, ding. Zhe Huali's voice came from behind him: "It is indeed you.
" Shen Mu dispersed the demonic qi around him, turned, and smiled. "Zhe Huali, your blade technique has improved greatly.
" Zhe Huali's eyes were like blades, forcing Shen Mu to shatter the blade intent in his gaze; clearly, since the battle at Licheng, his blade technique had advanced a great deal!
"Brother Shen, that you could flee from Mengcheng all the way here, and live through the Ill-Omen Land, is truly astonishing. Since we parted at Licheng, I have studied that sword art of yours most carefully, the Kalpa-Opening Sword Art.
It is indeed very strong, but I too have gained some understanding.
" Zhe Huali said calmly: "I will not let you die at anyone else's hand.
The one who can kill you is me alone!
Throughout all of Taihuang Heaven, every disciple of the demon gods is searching for you.
Do not die on the road.
" "Many thanks.
" Shen Mu bowed. Zhe Huali paid his courtesy no heed at all and vanished in a flash.
