Chapter 676 — I See Through You
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
The True God Pang Yu, worried for everyone's safety, rose into the air and was about to give chase when an aura suddenly came from behind and locked onto him. Pang Yu's body went rigid; he crashed down from midair and did not dare turn around. Just then a melancholy man was seen walking toward him head-on.
Pang Yu immediately felt the aura locking onto him snap off, and knowing it was this melancholy man who had acted, he was finally able to relax. Lou Yunqu frowned slightly and looked at the First Ancestor.
He took up the Book of Life and Death and turned it upon him, and his eyes lit up again. He laughed. "So it is Prince Shen Wu of Yuming Palace.
How very interesting. " "Prince Shen Wu of Yuming Palace! " Pang Yu was greatly shaken.
He looked at the First Ancestor and blurted out, "You're still alive? " The First Ancestor's face darkened. The reason he had never met with Pang Yu was that he did not wish to see the demon-gods of the old Kaihuang Heavenly Court; he felt a secret guilt in his heart.
Now he had no choice but to appear, and yet his identity could no longer be concealed.
Lou Yunqu's eyes flickered.
He smiled. "Let the youngsters fight it out among themselves; that is well enough. But now that this sudden turn has come, does Prince Shen Wu not wish to go and take a look?
" The First Ancestor said dryly, "Very well. " With that he turned and walked toward the Spirit Energy Transfer Bridge.
He took a single step, and a thousand li of ground abruptly contracted, warping into the space between them; Pang Yu and the others, without moving a step, found themselves a thousand li away, their hearts full of astonishment and doubt.
The First Ancestor's step landed exactly where Shen Mu had ridden the Dragon Qilin to. In the air, Lou Qianzhong flew on beating wings to a point above the Dragon Qilin, talons hooking downward, grasping for Shen Mu and the Qilin. His talons were incomparably sharp, covered in strange scales that gleamed with black light; the patterns at the center of each scale were exceedingly bizarre, like so many eyes opening and closing, blinking and blinking.
Lou Yunqu, Vajra, Lu Li and the others followed the First Ancestor and looked up. Shen Mu's angry voice came down: "I told you we'd fight another day! I have urgent business, no time to settle a victory with you!
" Boom, a great crash sounded in midair. Lou Qianzhong's body was thrown back; the grab had failed, blocked by Shen Mu, but the Dragon Qilin too was pressed down, falling from the air, its speed greatly reduced. "Divine Son of Youdu, do not imagine you can escape!
" Lou Qianzhong pounced again; Shen Mu blocked again and forced him back, and again the Dragon Qilin was pressed downward, its speed dropping further. Lou Qianzhong pounced a third time, laughing. "Have you not even the courage to fight me?
A Divine Son of such renown, driven by me to flee into Jingping! " Shen Mu suddenly leaped from the Dragon Qilin's back and said in a low voice, "Fat Dragon, go on ahead and steady the Spirit Energy Transfer Bridge. Brother Xu, you go to the Transfer Bridge as well and help me steady the runes on that altar.
" The Dragon Qilin shot away with a howl, racing straight for the Spirit Energy Transfer Bridge.
Xu Shenghua did not linger either, following close behind the Qilin. "Take care, Brother Shen.
This man's strength is no small thing, and his divine ability is stranger still. I have never seen its like.
His dark divine ability is much the same as the darkness of the Desolate Ruins. " "Much the same as the darkness of the Desolate Ruins? " Shen Mu's heart quivered, and disbelief showed on his face.
Lou Qianzhong folded his wings and resumed human form. He smiled. "The darkness of the Desolate Ruins was set in place by my master, the Black Emperor of Mingdu. " Shen Mu nodded, his face expressionless.
"Use the Black Emperor of Mingdu's divine ability.
