Pray forgive me. Since you have brought these fellow Daoists to blockade the gate and challenge, we of Xiao Heavenly Venerate's line naturally cannot let our master's name be shamed, so we accept. " Shen Mu said politely, "Rest easy, martial nephew. My people know their limits.
As it happens, they are all my elders, and I was worried that they had grown lax in their cultivation and grown idle, so I wished to borrow the hands of you martial nephews to temper them a little. " The Qikang Human Sovereign, the Yishan Human Sovereign, and the others blew on their beards and glared.
After the two had exchanged pleasantries, Gao Huaitong invited Shen Mu to the seat of honor. Shen Mu said, with earnest weight, "Grandmaster, Ancestral Masters, I have held the field.
You must not shame me. " The Qikang Human Sovereign leaped out and shouted angrily, "You surnamed Shen! You bully your masters and destroy your ancestors. Let us have a bout first!
" Gao Huaitong looked at Shen Mu with a smile. Shen Mu said apologetically, "Worthy nephew, this one is my grandmaster. His temper is a little hot, but he does have some skill. Worthy nephew, pick a good fighter and beat him to death for me!
" The Qikang Human Sovereign was so furious that smoke seemed to spout from every orifice.
His body shook, and behind him a radiance blazed forth, a whole expanse of light, and three Heavenly Palaces leaped out of the radiance to the sound of a bell. "These years I have cultivated alongside the First Ancestor, and I have seen no small number of Imperial Throne techniques. In this life I have advanced with vigor and ferocity!
You surnamed Shen, never mind the others. Let us first have a bout according to the rules of the Human Sovereign Hall!
" Gao Huaitong looked at Shen Mu with a smile. "Heavenly Venerate, you see. .
. " Shen Mu's face was full of apology. "My elders are unruly and hard to tame. Worthy nephew, wait a moment; I will teach them a lesson first. " He rose to his feet. The Qikang Human Sovereign was wholly focused, guarding strictly and defending tightly, waiting for him to strike.
Shen Mu took a single step forward, and there came a heaven-shaking boom; everyone present was shaken until their blood and qi churned.
And when they looked again at the Qikang Human Sovereign, he had already been smitten by a single palm into the earth of the Ancestral Court. Shen Mu returned to his seat and laughed.
"He is docile now.
We may begin. " The Qikang Human Sovereign crawled out of the earth, face covered in dust, yet in high spirits, not taking his defeat to heart at all. He laughed heartily.
"Who will favor me with instruction?
"
