Chapter 662 — A Show of Might at First Meeting
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Before long, Bangongcuo came following Chixi. Bangongcuo looked up and saw, before the gate of a great hall at the head of the plaza, many three-headed and six-armed divinities and demons standing, and in their midst sat a man of delicate features. He knew this was the Divine Son of Chiming, and hurried to pay his respects. The Divine Son of Chiming, seated high above, raised a hand.
"Rise.
You may begin. " Bangongcuo was puzzled at his meaning, when suddenly hundreds of Life-and-Death realm divine-power wielders walked into the plaza. One of them, a three-headed and six-armed Chiming divine-power wielder, bowed and said, "Hu Kang.
I ask senior brother for instruction! " Before Bangongcuo could collect himself, the expert called Hu Kang came charging at him with a howl!
Bangongcuo was startled, and without a moment's thought unleashed the Flawless Battle Divine Art — yet what he used was not battle-technique divine power, but spell divine power hidden within battle techniques! On the journey he had sparred with Ling Yuxiu, and had actually learned seven or eight parts of her signature techniques! Boom!
His divine power burst forth with terrifying force, driving Hu Kang back. Hu Kang gave a cold laugh, took up blades in his six hands, and the blades whirled like a cyclone, actually slicing open his divine power.
The rolling blade-light surged toward him like towering waves.
Bangongcuo's eyes flashed with keen light. His six arms took up six sharp swords, and he actually unleashed the Daoist Dao Sword — six Dao Sword forms bursting forth at once! His Dao Sword had actually incorporated the three basic sword forms of the Imperial Teacher of Jingping, becoming more complex and varied.
With a hiss-hiss-hiss, amid the flash of blades and swords, Hu Kang took dozens of sword wounds and fell to the ground. Bangongcuo laughed.
"You are too kind. Your Highness the Divine Son. .
.
" The Divine Son of Chiming raised an eyebrow, and another expert stepped forward, bowing. "Luo Ziyang.
I ask senior brother for instruction! " Bangongcuo frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Was this not supposed to be a show of might for that bastard surnamed Shen?
Why is the Divine Son of Chiming giving me a show of might instead?
" Luo Ziyang charged. He had no time to think further, and could only meet the challenge. The golden eye at the center of the Divine Son of Chiming's brow slowly opened, and its pupil reflected every stance and move of Bangongcuo with perfect clarity, analyzing his techniques and divine powers until they held no secret at all.
Before long Luo Ziyang was defeated, and yet another expert came forward to challenge. Bangongcuo braced himself and fought on.
After a long while, Bangongcuo was so exhausted he spat blood. Only then did the Divine Son of Chiming order a halt, and instructed Chixi, "Take him down and let him rest and heal. In ten days, bring him up again.
" Chixi led Bangongcuo away.
The Divine Son of Chiming rose and went down to the field himself. He suddenly unleashed divine powers and sword techniques, every stance and move clear and distinct, perfectly reproducing all that Bangongcuo had learned in his life before the divine-power wielders of the Floating Realm! He explained these divine powers and cultivation arts in exhaustive detail, then said calmly, "You have ten days to cultivate diligently.
In ten days, fight him again! " Meanwhile, Shen Mu and Ling Yuxiu were strolling about the city, with the Primordial Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, following behind them with two big-eyed monsters. Shen Mu wandered about, looking at the divine statues of the Floating Realm, often pausing for long stretches.
Ling Yuxiu was puzzled and laughed. "What is so interesting about stone statues?
" "The stone statues are wonderful. " Shen Mu's eyes shone bright. "These statues were made when the Floating Realm was first established.
