Chapter 1551 — Thrashing the Old Seniors
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The broken blades in her hands writhed like dragons, about to rejoin; but Shen Mu had already closed in, sword-light flickering in his grip, and his first move was the Calamity-Breaking Sword, its radiance shooting forward like a long rainbow!
Heavenly Consort Qiang cried out. Behind her, one after another, decayed heavenly palaces leaped forth and formed a heavenly court; a mighty divine consciousness burst out and battered at Shen Mu, while in her hands the two killing-aura blades rejoined and fused, whirling like a long whip to entangle him!
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
A dense torrent of sound came forth; the two God-Slaying Dark Blades broke inch by inch within the sword-light, and then the rainbow of sword-light broke through Heavenly Consort Qiang's divine consciousness. Beneath the surge of the sword-light, hall after hall of her heavenly court was swept flat!
The sword-light drove from one end of the heavenly court to the other, and wherever it passed it smashed all before it like rotten wood and withered leaves, leveling everything!
Chi —
The rainbow of sword-light burst out from the far end of Heavenly Consort Qiang's heavenly court and rushed at Venerable Xiao. Venerable Xiao gave a cold snort; Divine Emperor Langxuan at once stepped forward and thrust out a finger of divine essence to meet Shen Mu's sword-light.
Within his own sight, he watched his finger sliced clean through by that sword-light, the first joint of his index finger split in two and flying off to either side, and then the second joint, and then the third!
At the same moment, Shen Mu had come before Heavenly Consort Qiang. He raised the Tribulation Sword and rammed the hilt forward with all his weight, smashing it into her old face.
Heavenly Consort Qiang's features twisted; tooth after tooth flew from her mouth, and her body spun away to crash down toward the Long River of Chaos.
Just as she seemed certain to fall in, she suddenly turned her palm over, and beneath her hand appeared a stump of the dao tree. Standing on the stump, Heavenly Consort Qiang giggled: "Venerable Mu, thank you for the ride! As for the three rivers below, I can cross them myself!"
Toothless as she was, her speech came out whistling and slurred.
Shen Mu sheathed his sword and said indifferently: "Great Emperor, you have gone the wrong way."
Heavenly Consort Qiang's heart lurched; she looked back and saw that she was caught between the two dao trees, which swept her along to the shore. The nine Venerables and the three ancient gods descended from the trees and set foot on solid ground.
Heavenly Consort Qiang had no choice but to come ashore, raging inwardly: "It is not that I went the wrong way; it was that blow of his that sent me off in the opposite direction! This brat is forcing me to make an enemy of him!"
"Gentlemen, from childhood I was taught by the Nine Elders of Yincan Village, and their discipline was strict; the Nine Elders taught me to respect the old and cherish the young."
Shen Mu's right wrist gave a light shake, tracing a sword-flower, and he slung the Tribulation Sword behind his back; lifting his left hand, he smiled and said: "But today I must perforce give old men a beating. Ten Venerables, three ancient gods, please."
He lifted his foot and stamped down hard; with a boom like thunder, his divine-treasury domain came howling and swelling outward, drawing all thirteen Venerables and divinities into it!
