The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
As the sword pills broke apart in their fall, they dropped into the cloud banks of the Five Great Cloud Thunders laid by Jiang Yunjian's army, thunder cracked and crashed, lighting up divine sword after divine sword within the clouds.
Lizheng pinched his sword seal and said in a low voice: "Thrust Sword Form!
" Upon the chariots behind him, the gods of Jingping who cultivated sword arts and the sword path pinched their seals one by one and drove the Thrust Sword Form, and the flying swords within the clouds fell like a暴雨 from heaven, stabbing downward! Jingping had many masters of the sword path, and Lizheng in teaching swordsmanship stressed the basic forms, how to burst forth with the power of the most fundamental sword moves.
Thus the sword cultivators of Jingping, whether or not they had attained the sword path, possessed surpassing attainment in basic swordsmanship!
When this wave of sword rain fell, none knew how many Heavenly Court gods and devils were pierced through by swords stabbing down from the sky, in through the body and out through the back!
"Cloud Sword Form!
" Lizheng changed his seal, and the masters of sword arts and sword path behind him followed him in changing seals, turning to the Cloud Sword Form, and the countless divine swords falling from the sky at once took each landing place as center and swept a full circle! These flying swords were often lodged in the ground, and when the Cloud Sword Form turned, in a blink the earth sprouted none knew how many extra feet!
These sword lights specialized in hewing the feet of gods and devils!
"Upward Pick Form! " Lizheng flicked his sword seal upward, and the Jingping masters behind him flicked upward with him, and those flying swords, having severed divine and devilish feet, turned point upward and hilt downward, picking upward with their tips!
This sword either ripped open the groin or slit the belly!
"Coiling Sword Form!
" "Drilling Sword Form! " "Sword Eighteen Forms!
" Move after move of basic sword forms unfolded, and below lay desolation, the Heavenly Court gods and devils who had not died howling in the lightning and sword rain, too miserable to behold!
"Recall the swords!
" Lizheng withdrew his seal and clasped his hands behind his back, and the Jingping masters behind him withdrew their seals and clasped their hands as well, and countless sword lights rose soaring from below, colliding ceaselessly in midair, transforming into sword pills one by one and returning to the sword towers upon the flying chariots.
Seeing the sword lights rise, Granny Zhu gave a sharp shout, and the ground troops at once drove their primordial giant beasts thundering forward at a gallop.
"Offer the Dao wheels! " Granny Zhu cried aloud, her Myriad Laws Dao Wheel flying forth, and behind her the gods and devils of Jingping's ground troops drove their own Dao wheels, following her divine weapon forward.
Boom!
Granny Zhu's Myriad Laws Dao Wheel flew into the enemy ranks and crashed to earth, primordial magnetic power bursting forth, the earth shaking violently as if stars pressed down one by one, crushing the Heavenly Court gods and devils below until blood spurted from their mouths.
Then more Myriad Laws Dao wheels flew in and fell unceasingly, and before the Heavenly Court's camp the earth sank fiercely, soon pressed into a deep ravine!
At that moment the Yaochi Terrace appeared athwart their path, and upon the terrace stood rank upon rank of Heavenly Court soldiers, waiting in silence. Granny Zhu gritted her teeth and led Jingping's army riding giant beasts charging forward, while at the same time Zaifu and the others suddenly quickened, riding the phoenixes of the Phoenix clan down from the high sky!
"We must break through them to rescue Carefree Land!
" Zaifu shouted.
Within the Heavenly Court's camp, the various marquises sallied forth one after another, the Empress frowned slightly and with a lift of her hand sent Guixu abysses howling out of the camp to meet Jingping's armies!
The Empress's form vanished, and in the next instant she appeared above one Guixu, striking down without mercy!
Just as one of her divine arts swallowed a great towered warship of Jingping, familiar figures appeared before her, Xu Shenghua and Lan Yutian walking forward side by side.
The Empress's eyes twitched.
Suddenly commotion came from behind the Heavenly Court's camp, horns sounded, countless primordial giant beasts galloped straight for the camp's rear.
Dragon Qilin and the Western Emperor White Tiger had arrived at last! The two Taiji ancient gods exchanged a glance, then rushed for the rear to meet the Western Emperor and Dragon Qilin and block the beast army.
They had just charged out of the camp when suddenly ahead they saw chubby Taishi sitting on a stone with chin in hand, the Azure Nether Mirror in his other hand, gazing at himself in the glass with knitted brows.
"My two fellow Daoists, you had best surrender," Taishi sighed.
"Those who walk different paths cannot plot together! " Taiyin Tianzun and Taiyang Tianzun charged forward together!
"Rebels and traitors, all must die.
" Emperor Haotian's gaze flickered, he raised his palm and moved his forefinger and middle finger, Taichu understood and walked toward the World Tree, while Emperor Haotian strode forward behind him. Taichu was无比 cautious, his gaze sweeping the shadows of the gods and devils locked in slaughter, seeking the shadow that was amiss, when suddenly he saw a youth amid the melee bend down and pick up an arm from the ground, and in that arm's grip was a broken divine blade.
The youth took the blade and gave its light a light shake, and flesh and blood flew on every side.
He walked through the flying flesh, treading blood, toward Taichu.
"Lord Shang, you hide in shadows no longer?
" Taichu sneered.
"No need. " Shang Jun advanced with blade in hand and said coldly: "This slaughter calamity, the killing aura of countless gods and devils is enough for me to unleash my strongest killing move!
" Taichu's form rose howling and landed upon his own Great Luotian, shouting: "Come, let us decide victory and defeat!
" Shang Jun leapt up and appeared upon his One Qi Great Luotian.
Emperor Haotian strode forward toward the World Tree, the Way of Grand Simplicity changing into a divine axe of Grand Change.
Emperor Haotian shook the muscles of his body, his gaze locked fast upon that World Tree.
At that moment the Dao-Burying divine coffin suddenly gave a sound of unbearable strain and split apart, revealing Shen Mu sitting within!
The muscles upon Shen Mu's body leapt, and the Dao-Slaying divine nails driven through him trembled without cease: "Teacher, I can lend you my divine treasure domain no longer.
Survive. " Wen Tiange and the others were still slaughtering upon the World Tree, meeting enemies on every side, his voice hoarse: "Go!
" Shen Mu rose to his feet, the muscles of his flesh leaping more urgently, when suddenly came whistling sounds of tearing air, and Dao-Slaying divine nails flew from his body one after another!
