Hao Heavenly Venerable smiled slightly. "Palace Heavenly Venerable has already locked onto them. They have no hope of slipping away. Don't you think so, Palace Heavenly Venerable?"
A Dao tree drifted over. Palace Heavenly Venerable, her divine sense seething, locked firmly onto Qiang Tianfei's position. "Rest assured, Hao Heavenly Venerable. The Great Emperor cannot escape my palm."
Meanwhile, Shen Mu and Qiang Tianfei stood on the little boat. Qiang Tianfei was still fending off the divine-sense attacks of the three Heavenly Venerables, silently bemoaning, "These three are relentless. Sooner or later they'll drain my divine sense dry, and when that happens, that little bastard Shen Mu will kill me with tremendous joy!"
She glanced at Shen Mu and saw a leopard staring at its bleeding prey, waiting for her blood to run out before beginning its feast.
"That little wretch..."
Qiang Tianfei drove the two God-Slaying Blades with a beaming smile, plotting when to land a fatal blow on that little bastard.
On this little boat, with its cramped space, she still had her chance.
Shen Mu, likewise beaming, gripped the hilt of the Calamity Sword tightly. The two stared at each other, unmoving.
Whoosh!
The little boat suddenly swept past Void Heavenly Venerable. Only then did she notice it and hastily gave chase. Cold sweat immediately poured from Qiang Tianfei's forehead.
Void Heavenly Venerable was chasing the boat, and she herself was standing at the stern, already having to resist the divine senses of three Heavenly Venerables. Now another one was at her heels, attacking. Was heaven determined to destroy her?
Just when Void Heavenly Venerable was about to catch up, a divine-artifact Heavenly Venerable suddenly struck from the side and blasted toward her.
Void Heavenly Venerable had no choice but to block it, and by then the little boat had already sailed out of her sight.
"Shi Qiluo!"
Void Heavenly Venerable raged. After a few exchanges, she pressed a light seal between the brows of the divine-artifact Heavenly Venerable, sealing away all its senses, then cast it down into the chaotic river.
On the little boat, Qiang Tianfei had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a Dao tree appear behind them. The burly Shi Qiluo, carrying his treasure chest, was chasing after them with great glee!
Qiang Tianfei giggled. "Lady Yuanmu is my ally, Mu Tianzun. Your calculations were wrong."
Shen Mu replied with a bright smile, "What a coincidence. Lady Yuanmu is my ally as well."
Qiang Tianfei's heart tightened. Then came Shi Qiluo's bold, rough laughter. The big man opened his treasure chest, and one divine-artifact Heavenly Venerable after another flew out. He cackled, "I just love beating allies to death!"
Qiang Tianfei and Shen Mu exchanged a smile, their enmity dissolving in an instant. No longer at odds, they joined forces and attacked Shi Qiluo!
For all his divine-artifact Heavenly Venerables, within a few exchanges the two had destroyed two of them. The God-Slaying Mystic Blade drained every last bit of qi and blood from the divine-artifact Heavenly Venerables, while Shi Qiluo himself took several sword wounds. He hurriedly turned around and fled at breakneck speed.
"Mu Tianzun, you bastard, no more tricks!"
Seeing Shi Qiluo retreat, Qiang Tianfei suddenly flew into a rage. Brandishing her twin divine blades, she cried fiercely, "If you dare pull another underhanded trick, I'll drag you down with me even if it costs me my life!"
