Chapter 959 — The Great Beauty of the Sword Dao
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
" Shen Mu gave a low shout, and the core of the Primordial Wood at once lengthened, reaching straight to the Jade Capital City of Luo Wushuang's heavenly palace, while its other end came into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, before Luo Wushuang's primordial spirit. Shen Mu studied Luo Wushuang's expression closely and said: "Do you know that this treasure changes at my will, and is sharp beyond compare? Even if you were an expert of the Lingxiao realm, your life and death would now be in my grasp. At a single movement of my thought, this treasure would burst your heavenly palace, slay your primordial spirit, and blow your head apart.
" Luo Wushuang's expression was calm.
"I trust you. If you did not heal me, I would not live much longer anyway. " Shen Mu laughed heartily and had him swallow the spirit pills: "That you trust me so puts me to shame.
To tell you the truth, I do not even trust myself. Your wounds will need some time yet to heal completely; when you have recovered, come and challenge me again. " Luo Wushuang rose and asked: "Where do you mean to go? I will follow you.
If I do not rid myself of the demonic thought in my heart of dao, then even if I return to the Heavenly Court from here, I will still die at the hands of the demonic thought.
Rest assured: when my wounds are healed and I fight you, I will surely face you at the same realm.
If I used my cultivation to crush you, the demonic thought in me would be hard to remove.
" Shen Mu was about to speak when suddenly a divine light tore through the air, speeding straight towards them. The divine light flew faster and faster; from afar a vast vital essence surged forth and became a great hand that shrouded the mountain peak!
"A true god!
" Luo Wushuang's heart leaped.
He was about to strike out to block it when his vital essence suddenly fell into disorder.
Shen Mu's vital essence erupted; the waterfall beneath his feet rose up and became a round dome that covered the mountain peak.
Luo Wushuang looked up and saw the water flowing down along the surface of the dome, and as it flowed, strange written symbols appeared upon it. Those were heavenly dao runes. This heavenly dao divine art was called the Heavenly Dome, and it was the Sixth Heavenly Dao of Xuandu.
The palm collided with the Sixth Heavenly Dao, and both burst apart.
Shen Mu raised his brows; the newcomer's cultivation was exceedingly deep. "So this is the Heavenly Venerable Mu who once shook the world, the Shen the Overlord Body who astounded Longhan, Shanghuang and Jingping — nothing more than this!
" The divine light came howling in, and it was a man clad in blue-gold feathers, his wings crossed over his chest. All at once he beat his wings, and countless blue-gold feathers flew out, slashing at Shen Mu; in an instant feathers whirled all around the mountain summit, covering the peak of that mighty mountain completely, so dense that not a breath of wind could pass.
Those feather swords were like a flood, weaving up and down around the mountain peak.
"Luo Wushuang, this is a grudge between the Hao Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Venerable Mu.
It is none of your affair — do not interfere," the blue-feathered man cried loudly.
Shen Mu raised his hand; the waterfall was cut off and once more became the Heavenly Dome to shield the mountain peak.
Countless blue-gold feathers struck the dome, streaming with brilliant light. "Heavenly dao divine arts? Which disciple of a Heavenly Venerable in the Heavenly Court has not cultivated them? Heavenly Venerable Mu, spare us the poor display! " The blue-gold feathered man knelt on bended knee beyond the Heavenly Dome and said in a deep voice: "An Qingyu, disciple of Heavenly Venerable Hao, pays his respects to Heavenly Venerable Mu!
" "A disciple of Heavenly Venerable Hao? " Shen Mu strained to keep the Heavenly Dome from breaking, his face reddening, and managed: "Since you mean to kill me, why such reverence?
