The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
" Qi Jiuyi said helplessly: "Senior Brother Lou Qianzhong fell in battle. " Zhe Huali felt a chill in his heart: "What move did Sect Master Shen use to kill him? How did he die?
" Qi Jiuyi said, even more helplessly: "This.
.
.
it is hard to explain in a word. Sect Master Shen seems to have cultivated some remarkable technique, transforming into a form with three heads and six arms, and his strength has grown even greater than before.
He unleashed three moves of Kaijie. " Zhe Huali's tiger eyes went wide, and he said solemnly: "Three heads and six arms?
It seems his strength has risen another level. I too must cultivate diligently; I will definitely make him taste bitter defeat beneath my demon blade!
" Lou Yunqu frowned slightly, gazing at the Primordial Ancestor Human Emperor ahead.
He had wanted to act to rescue Lou Qianzhong earlier, but had been overawed by the aura this powerhouse had erupted with in an instant, and did not dare act directly.
"Shen Wu Huangzi's combat power is extremely high. .
.
" He thought to himself: "However, with him alone, it is simply impossible to block the surging tide of destiny.
He will inevitably be crushed to dust by that tide! " Kui Qingpei said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Lou, Junior Brother, he. .
. " Lou Yunqu said quietly: "Shen Wu held the three of us in check, leaving us no leisure to rescue him.
Junior Brother can only die once. But this Son of God of Youdu is different from what I imagined.
.
. Are you confident you can capture him?
" Fu Yanqi's gaze flickered as he said: "Senior Brother can rest assured.
Junior Brother Qi blundered; he failed to capture him and instead lost Master's treasure. But for us to capture him will be easy.
" Lou Yunqu smiled: "Then let our visit to observe the martial arts and divine abilities of Taihuang Heaven end here. Honored King Vajra, Commissioner Lu, we may return.
" Vajra said in surprise: "The three of you are returning already? Lou Qianzhong is dead; will you not avenge him?
You three senior brothers are truly magnanimous. " Lou Yunqu said: "Lou Qianzhong's soul will return to Youdu and be reborn in a new incarnation; Master will not let him die just like that.
We are only returning to the demon race's territory, not to Youdu. When the remaining scoundrels of Chiming arrive at Jingping, that will be the day Taihuang Heaven falls. " Vajra was stunned.
This time there had been only four visitors from Youdu, one of whom had been killed by Shen Mu; why was Lou Yunqu so certain that with the strength of just the three of them, they could unify Taihuang Heaven under the demon race? After all, Vajra, bound by the Earth Lord's Pact he had made with the Woodcutter Sage, could not mobilize the demon race's great army to assist.
And Lu Li, as Youdu's Commissioner, answered only to the Heavenly Court's commands, not to Youdu's; Lou Yunqu could not mobilize her either. Therefore the power Lou Yunqu could bring to bear was merely the three of them, fellow disciples. Seeing Lou Yunqu and the others depart, Qi Jiuyi's heart tightened.
He said in a low voice: "Zhe Huali, if you trust me, then come with me at once through the Bridge of Spiritual Energy Transmigration into Huangxu!
" Zhe Huali was startled and was about to ask, but Qi Jiuyi had already gone ahead of him, heading straight for the Bridge. Beside the Bridge of Spiritual Energy Transmigration, Shen Mu, Long Qilin and Xu Shenghua were flying in circles around an enormous altar, constantly reinforcing it, repairing the cracked runes, attempting to sustain the Bridge.
In the sky, that strange star had already faded by nearly half, yet the Bridge of Spiritual Energy Transmigration was struggling to hold; the ground for hundreds of li around was shaken into countless ravines and gullies, the earth like a spider's web.
The altar was crumbling; the mountain stones upon it could disintegrate into powder at any moment. Shen Mu frowned deeply.
