Chapter 1552 — You All Still Have a Long Way to Go
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Her sword thrust out, and she and Shi Qiluo, one above and one below, soles joined, wrought their art upon the Guixu Abyss! The abyss suddenly gave a great shaking boom, and two lotuses bloomed outward from it; the ruined stamens within the lotuses swayed, and the two lotuses spun swiftly around the abyss, their stamens quivering, and numberless dao patterns became dao chains that drove one after another into the abyss!
Urged on by the two of them, that abyss devoured all, ground all to pieces; as the two lotuses spun, they seemed about to fuse with the abyss and become a single flower!
At the same time Venerable Gong flew in, raised her horn, and blew one long note — and the withered, ruined qi and blood of Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Yan blazed up again, and the two lotuses trembled lightly and merged into one! Heavenly Consort Yan and Shi Qiluo's flesh had grown old, their qi and blood not what they had been, but Venerable Gong's horn could make their shriveled qi and blood boil once more!
With Venerable Gong's aid, the two of them surged with vigor and brought their arts to their utmost!
Heavenly Consort Yan and Shi Qiluo showed joy — but in the very instant the two lotuses merged, of a sudden a sword light within the abyss cut the abyss apart, splitting it in two, and the lotus with it was about to be split in two as well!
A figure was about to fly out from the cloven lotus! Venerable Gong hurriedly roused her long whip and swept it out, entangling that figure; at the same time Ancestor God King finally put away his forty-eight supreme treasures of the Dao of Heaven, merged them into a long spear, and drove it into the chest of the figure held fast by Venerable Gong's whip!
Ancestor God King shook the great spear with all his strength, and the figure burst apart in four or five pieces!
"Fighting us Ten Venerables, you are far from enough," said Ancestor God King, putting up his spear and laughing, panting. His laugh had not died when a sword flew in, pierced his brow, skewered his body, and went shrieking away with him!
Venerable Gong's body spun about, her long whip flying up, but a great hand broke through the layers of whip shadows, seized her skull, and smashed her down into the earth!
Venerable Gong was pressed hard into the ground, only her two feet left outside.
The two divine-artifact Venerables flew in together and struck the figure's chest and back; Shi Qiluo raised his head in wild delight, and saw that the figure had no chest and no back at all — it had faces on all four sides!
"The Chiming Divine Body Unrivaled!
" Shen Mu's fleshly body heaved with muscle; with a bellow he lifted the two divine-artifact Venerables, slammed them down, then raised a palm; the Calamity Sword flew to him, a flash of sword light, and he struck off the heads of the two divine-artifact Venerables!
Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Yan cried out in unison; Shen Mu raised his left hand, palm front, palm back, fist seals, palm seals, hand blades, seal after seal shifting without cease, crashing onto the two of them one after another! Shi Qiluo and Heavenly Consort Yan went tumbling, flying backward!
Shen Mu drew back his hand, stepped forward, swept his gaze around, and said indifferently: "In divine arts, you are simply no good at all!
" In the distance, Heavenly Consort Qiang sneaked quietly away, sprang swiftly onto the stump of a Dao Tree, plunged into the third long river of chaos, and rode the waves off, leaving only her back behind.
