Chapter 961 — The Brand of the Lord of Blazing Flame
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
He was one of the five founding elders of the Heaven Alliance.
Shen Heavenly Venerable Shen Ye, who had once traversed the Dragon Han Era alongside him, the Kai Emperor who had gone by the alias Shen Kai!
"Was it the Kai Emperor who dueled with Fire Heavenly Venerable? " Shen Mu suppressed the surging emotion in his heart.
If this person was the Kai Emperor, then the Land of No Sorrow should also be within the Void! He longed to see this ancestor again, this fellow cultivator of the Dao!
"If the Land of No Sorrow is in the Void, then my brother should be there too!
As long as I can contact my brother, I can find the Land of No Sorrow!
" He immediately attempted to establish a resonance with Shen Fengqing, but no matter how he tried, he could not sense him. Shen Mu frowned slightly.
He glanced at Luo Wushuang beside him, then suddenly smiled: "Luo Divine Blade, would you be interested in making a Little Earth Lord's Pact?
" Luo Wushuang was puzzled. Shen Mu smiled: "You and I shall pit swordsmanship against blade technique, the way of the sword against the way of the blade.
No cultivation—only these two skills.
If I lose, I am at your disposal. If you lose, you betray the Heavenly Court and pledge allegiance to Jingping.
" Luo Wushuang probed: "No cultivation or dharma power—only swordsmanship against blade technique, the way of the sword against the way of the blade?
You would lose terribly. I have already cultivated the way of the blade to the thirteenth heaven and am about to step into the fourteenth. You are still only at the third heaven of the sword, are you not? " Shen Mu smiled: "Will you take the bet?
" Luo Wushuang shook his head: "No bet. I would rather you and I contend at the same realm, giving you the advantage of cultivation, than take advantage of you. " Shen Mu frowned: "Stubborn fool. " Luo Wushuang's insistence, however, earned his admiration.
"Fire Heavenly Venerable is bleeding!
" Luo Wushuang went to the rear of Fire Heavenly Venerable's brand and looked toward the city wall. At the base of the wall was a drop of burning fresh blood, flames churning.
Within the flames, a gleam of sword light hovered above the blood.
Shen Mu came to his side and examined it closely.
This was the divine blood of a Heavenly Venerable, containing a Heavenly Venerable's divine ability.
The power within the blood and the sword light was contained, not released, yet both of them felt an inexplicable dread. "Do not touch it under any circumstances.
If you touch it, it will break the balance.
If the power within this drop of Heavenly Venerable's divine blood erupts, I fear it will utterly destroy this place! " Luo Wushuang drew a sharp breath and retreated step by step.
He said in a low voice, "Even if my injuries were fully healed and I were restored to peak condition, I would not have time to escape!
" Shen Mu was also retreating, not daring to release the slightest breath lest he disrupt the balance of the divine ability within the blood. This drop of divine blood was too perilous. And what was even more terrifying was that if the divine blood erupted, it would inevitably impact Fire Heavenly Venerable's brand—and Fire Heavenly Venerable's brand would be triggered as well!
At that very moment, two beams of light suddenly vaulted over the high city wall, flitting above the city like butterflies in flight—two women locked in a desperate struggle to the death! "You little slut!
You stole my man, you ruined my life, and you act in my name! " "You're the little slut!
You've been trying to harm me all along—did you think I didn't know? You hid for so long, and I long ago guessed you were concealed among the Ten Heavenly Venerables. Today I'll peel off your skin and make you show your true face!
" Shen Mu and Luo Wushuang were dumbfounded. They looked up at the two figures of light. Suddenly the lights separated—Yun Chuxiu and Lian Hunhua stood atop two tall towers, one on each side, robes fluttering.
