The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Once I spread my divine treasury, it will be enough to set them on ground where they cannot be beaten—enough to stand against all Ten Heavenly Venerables!
" "And yet your cultivation is too weak! " Heavenly Venerable Gong moved to cut him off, saying calmly, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, stay your hand. Stay your hand, and you remain one of us, with endless benefits to enjoy.
" Both moved with tremendous speed. Shen Mu's Heaven-Stealing Divine Step, driven to its utmost, could almost disregard space itself; but Heavenly Venerable Gong's strength was great, and however fast he might be, he could not reach Heavenly Venerable Yue's side a single step ahead of her. Just as the two seemed about to collide, Heavenly Venerable Yue suddenly roused her divine ability and shifted Kaihuang; the next instant he appeared before them both, his Carefree Sword striking at each of them at once, and laughed aloud, "Seven Heavenly Venerables strike, all joining hands against us—and even Heavenly Venerable Mu, the Grand Alliance Lord himself, turns his hand on us! What honor you do us!
" Heavenly Venerable Gong's expression changed drastically, and she hurried to fend off Kaihuang's sword.
On the other side Shen Mu drew his blade, and the Broken Sword met the Carefree Sword. Clang— The two swordsmanships were weighed at once.
Shen Mu broke Kaihuang's sword technique, yet he could not withstand Kaihuang's Sword Dao, and the Broken Sword in his hand shattered to fragments! "Good swordsmanship! What I learned from you still falls short of you, after all.
" Kaihuang drove the two back, then turned his blade and thrust at Heavenly Venerable Yue. She rose drifting into the air, an ancient zither cradled in her arms, and came to rest upon the tip of the Carefree Sword. "Heavenly Venerable Mu, Lord of the Heaven Alliance, you have already betrayed the Heaven Alliance! " Kaihuang whirled his sword; in a flash of sword light, the Sword Dao imprinted itself upon the thirty-fifth void.
Heavenly Venerable Huo, Hong, Xu, Lang, Zu, Gong, Qiang, and Yan—eight Heavenly Venerables—came killing toward him, and lunged at empty air. Kaihuang and Heavenly Venerable Yue, standing upon his blade, had already intruded into the thirty-fifth void and slipped past their attack.
Heavenly Venerable Hong's white hair streamed; his great hand slapped toward the thirty-fifth void.
The back of that hand was like a giant turtle's shell, the flesh swollen and risen, and the flesh upon it transformed into wondrous and extraordinary patterns. One blow punched through layer upon layer of void and struck straight at Kaihuang and Heavenly Venerable Yue within the thirty-fifth void!
The power of that blow was so immense, so dreadful, that even after smashing through layer upon layer of void it lost none of its force—the other Heavenly Venerables watched with twitching eyes.
Heavenly Venerable Gong, Qiang, Yan, Huo and the rest struck in that same instant, driving through the passage Heavenly Venerable Hong had torn open straight to the depths of the void, blasting at the two within the thirty-fifth void. How dreadful, how overbearing was the attack of eight Heavenly Venerables!
Had that blow landed, Kaihuang and Heavenly Venerable Yue would surely both have perished!
But no sooner had Kaihuang used his Sword Dao to reach the thirty-fifth void, no sooner had he landed, than Heavenly Venerable Yue's divine ability erupted of itself. She plucked the zither strings, and at once a gateway appeared within the thirty-fifth void.
Heavenly Venerable Yue opened the gate and went; Kaihuang stepped through after her, watching the Heavenly Venerables' divine abilities churn through the thirty-fifth void and come rushing at his face, and laughed long and loud: "Heavenly Venerable Mu, Lord of the Alliance, today I have wrecked your grand gathering and shaved away your dignity with my sword, and there is nothing you can do about it!
