Chapter 1764 — Triumph at Xuandu
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 3 of 3
" Amid the broken ranks, Haotian the Heavenly Emperor clenched his teeth and still attacked Shen Mu like a madman, crying sternly: "A moment — only a moment, and his wounds will burst forth and leave him powerless! I can still turn the tide!
" Boom!
His divine power clashed with Shen Mu's, fiercer than ever before. Blood burst from Haotian the Heavenly Emperor's mouth; he was hurled back, tumbling into the broken ranks.
At once the Grand Auxiliary, the Junior Auxiliary, the Right Upper Guard, the Right Junior Guard, and other ministers came flying to seize him; they caught up the gravely wounded Haotian the Heavenly Emperor and plunged into the army, departing with all speed. Blood poured from Haotian the Heavenly Emperor's mouth, yet his gaze was fixed fast upon Shen Mu, ever farther away, as though he would watch Shen Mu fall.
But Shen Mu stood there all the while, unshaken, unmoved.
"Shepherd Heavenly Venerable — Shepherd, you old dog — fall!
Fall! " Another mouthful of blood burst from Haotian the Heavenly Emperor, and despair was in his voice, like the long howl of a wounded old wolf.
Only when his sight left Shen Mu's body, blocked by the broken ranks, did Shen Mu at last fall, his wounds bursting forth in full.
Yet Haotian the Heavenly Emperor did not see it.
