The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 5 of 5
One was honored as the foremost divine blade of the Heavenly Court, the other as the Jingping Sword God. As their various Dao-entering ultimate moves unfolded, Shen Mu and Lord Dragon-Raiser, caught amid the storm of blade and sword light, were dazzled. The demigods who rushed into the clash of these two masters' blade and sword arts died miserably, one after another, utterly unable to withstand the collision of power at such a Dao realm.
Suddenly, radiance of incomparable brilliance burst forth, and the ghost ship cycled once more. Luo Wushuang gave a muffled grunt and withdrew, turning to flee.
With this cycle, his Void-turning had grown more severe; the situation was gravely against him. He had to find a safe place, avoid his foes, and wait for the next cycle to wholly turn into Void.
Li Zheng sheathed his sword, looked down at the Carefree Sword, and praised it: "Truly a fine sword.
Luo Wushuang is indeed worthy of the name Divine Blade.
If the pig-killer wants to hunt him down, he still has a step to go. " Shen Mu looked at Li Zheng's body and saw that his flesh and primal spirit had turned to Void severely as well; Lord Dragon-Raiser too was gradually turning to Void.
They went through two more cycles, and two more incidents of outsiders boarding the ship. Li Zheng's Void-turning grew ever more severe, and he could barely hold the Carefree Sword. "Shen'er, the next Void-turning is almost here.
I fear I too am about to vanish. " They sat on the ridge of the great hall.
Li Zheng watched the sun rise in the east and said, "But rest assured: even if I wholly become Void, I will stay by your side and never leave you.
" Shen Mu nodded lightly. "I know.
" "Lord Dragon-Raiser, I leave him to you — guard your liege. " Once more radiance burst forth and drowned them.
When it dispersed, only Shen Mu and Lord Dragon-Raiser remained on the ridge of the great hall.
"I know you are still beside me.
" Shen Mu rose to his feet and looked at the strange world beyond the Heavenly River. "I will certainly find a way to break it and bring you back from Void to reality!
You are still my Grandfather Li Zheng, and no one can take you from me! "
