The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
Heavenly Lord Xi swung his demon-quelling pestle down upon the crown of Venerable Haotian, and with a tremendous clang it smashed into his forehead and exploded on the spot, tearing open Heavenly Lord Xi's grip as he was flung helplessly backward, blood spraying from his mouth. Venerable Haotian opened his mouth and let out a great roar, and Heavenly Lord Xi's flesh melted like white snow under a blazing sun, blood and flesh dissolving until white bone showed through as he tumbled wildly backward through the air.
Yan Yunxi laid down a killing formation even as she charged, and the moment it rose it drew upon an unspeakably dreadful majesty of heaven and earth, borrowing the Great Dao of heaven and earth to strangle Venerable Haotian!
She had once used formations to plot against Earth Mother Yuanjun and the New Earth Mother Yuanjun and had grievously wounded those two dreadful beings, and now her formations were only stronger than then, never weaker!
Her formation had barely started when suddenly a great hand broke through her killing formation, shredded until it dripped with blood, and that bloody hand slammed into her body. Yan Yunxi's bones broke and her sinews snapped until she was nearly a puddle of pulp, and as those fingers curled to kill her, the one-armed Martial Combat Heavenly Master rushed up and met it with a fist from his remaining hand, and that arm too burst apart on the spot.
Xiu Zhong drove a punch into Venerable Haotian's back, but in the next instant Venerable Haotian turned his hand into a blade and chopped level across his neck, and though Xiu Zhong's flesh was incomparably tough, surpassing even the other mighty ones of the Emperor Throne realm, that hand-blade left his head severed from his body, his skull flying into the sky.
To a Creator this was not yet death, and in the instant his head flew off, his headless body threw its arms together and locked Venerable Haotian in a crushing embrace, while his head shrieked from midair: "Silkworm Girl! " Silkworm Girl was already upon them, and the seven-soul grass flew from her hand and hissed into Venerable Haotian's body to ravage his soul.
The seven-soul grass bored into Venerable Haotian and in a flash pierced his divine-consciousness Great Luo Heaven and rooted itself in his primordial spirit. Silkworm Girl shrieked, awl in hand, stabbing toward Venerable Haotian's brain! At that very moment Xiu Zhong's headless body exploded with a roar, Venerable Haotian stamped a palm upon Silkworm Girl's face, her head burst open, and her headless body turned and fled.
"Damned Creators! " Venerable Haotian's eyes shot forth divine light, and the two beams crossed like shears to snip Silkworm Girl's headless body in two and utterly destroy her consciousness!
At that very moment Xiu Zhong's head flew over and landed upon Silkworm Girl's neck, and their divine consciousness merged into a single torrent and erupted together!
With a boom, the two as one head and body were sent flying outward.
The woodcutter sage was beside himself with rage and charged at Venerable Haotian with axe in hand to fight to the death, roaring: "I told you to wait a moment.
.
.
" Suddenly the Black Tiger God flew in, crying: "Master, run!
" The woodcutter sage rushed past him and was about to swing his axe when Lu Zheng came head-on, Yan Yunxi, barely breathing, tucked under one arm, reaching out with the other to clamp the sage under his armpit and sprint away, shouting: "Great Heavenly Master, your skill is only good for beating plumed fire pheasant dragons, charging up there is suicide!
" Clamped so tight he could scarcely breathe, the woodcutter sage could not struggle free.
On the other side Niu Sanduo hoisted the Martial Combat Heavenly Master onto his back and fled madly outward, while Red Emperor Qi Xiayu and Xi Muhong, the Heavenly Lord Xi, having no mounts, could only force their wounded bodies onward in flight.
