Chapter 783 — The Giant Palm Condensed by Magnetic Force
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Shen Mu ran swiftly, and in a few turns scattered the water whip and came before the water qilin demigod.
The demigod with the qilin's head and a man's body was startled. He retreated at flying speed, and wave after wave rose roaring to block Shen Mu's way.
Bang, bang, bang — great booms sounded, and one water wave after another burst apart; the last burst, and countless flying swords grazed past the demigod's body, ding-ding-ding, and stabbed into the cliff behind him.
Boom!
A dull crash came. The demigod with the qilin's head and a man's body slammed into the cliff, and the pattern the flying swords had nailed out was exactly the size to hold his frame.
He was just about to come down off the cliff when Shen Mu's palm pressed onto his face; the palm exerted force, and that fearsome power smashed the demigod's head into the mountain body!
The mountain body was like so much bean curd; his body sank straight into the cliff, leaving only his thick tail exposed outside.
Shen Mu reached up, seized that tail, and pulled with all his strength, dragging the demigod out of the mountain body, then swung him up and smashed him down.
The earth shuddered, and the demigod smashed out a great pit.
The demigod still did not die; he scrambled to his feet at once, and Shen Mu's five fingers hooked downward in a light press: "Primordial Magnetic Five-Finger Mountain!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Five great crashes came, as though five Mount Sumerus were pressing down; the earth rumbled and sank madly, and the demigod was pressed down until he knelt in a pit growing ever deeper, his flesh crackling under the weight, blood flowing without cease, until against his will he showed his true form, sprawled prostrate on the ground, crying: "I surrender! Do not kill me—"
Shen Mu descended from the air, and the flying swords fused one by one, becoming the sword core before him, which flew into the taotie pouch at his waist.
Deva King Buddha came over with Yu Tianzun and smiled: "Your skills have grown a great deal. That Five-Finger Mountain just now — was that the primordial magnetic divine power?"
"The primordial magnetic runes I learned from Granny. Just now I comprehended a primordial magnetic divine power of my own from them."
Shen Mu looked at the demigod in the pit. "You said just now that the Earth Mother summons you all. What did you mean? Is the Earth Mother, the Primal Sovereign, not dead?"
The water qilin, pressed so that he could not move, cried: "How could the Earth Mother, the Primal Sovereign, scatter her soul so easily? I woke from my slumber and heard the Earth Mother's summons, beyond all doubt! Apart from me, every demigod will hear the Earth Mother's call."
Shen Mu frowned slightly. "Every demigod?"
Suddenly he looked up, and saw in the sky one streak of golden light after another flying past, blotting out the sun and sky — a flock of demigods with the bodies of men and the heads of birds, huge of frame, their wings spanning the heavens, swift beyond measure.
Then the mountain forests shook, and who knew how many giant beasts came running through them, also racing toward the same direction!
