Chapter 1578 — Crushing a Mighty Foe in One Blow
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Astonishment beyond measure came over the woman's face as she looked at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu, though, was lifting his face to watch the Great Emperor's primordial spirit come killing down from above, driving the body of Heavenly Emperor Taichu; in Heavenly Emperor Taichu's hand that divine spear was utterly fearsome, its power supreme in strength, in ferocity, in hardness!
What the primordial spirit holds is mana, and Ming Fangyu's mana was so strong that even by the standards of the present age he was one of the very few mightiest! Whoo— The spear thrust down, and within its ferocity lay infinite transformations, and yet Shen Mu had already rehearsed this scene a thousand times over in his mind.
At the very moment the divine spear came down, the Taiyi cane in his hand thrust out.
The Great Emperor's divine spear, its tip stabbing again and again, its moves intricately varying.
The Taiyi cane, its tip stabbing again and again, its moves equally intricate beyond measure, every strike hitting with perfect accuracy the tip of the divine spear. Lord Ling was still gazing at Shen Mu's face, and saw him utterly serious; from Shen Mu's palm came the tremor of the Great Emperor's power crushing down as he met him blow for blow.
Holding her hand, Shen Mu stepped along the Heavenly River, retreating step by step, shedding the excess force.
The Heavenly River burst apart into one towering wave after another; the Great Emperor's divine spear pierced through wave after wave, his assault like a raging storm, and the fighting power of the strongest body was terrifying indeed.
Even though Shen Mu knew all his moves and divine abilities, in a straight clash he was still shaken until blood spilled from the corners of his mouth! Just then the God-Slaying Platform suddenly rose up from beneath the Heavenly River, and on the surface the Great Emperor Ming Fangyu happened to charge to that very spot and landed right on the God-Slaying Platform!
Shen Mu halted abruptly; holding Lord Ling's hand, he charged forward.
He had buried the God-Slaying Platform beneath the Heavenly River when he broke Lord Ling's divine ability, and this was the moment he had prepared it for! The instant the Great Emperor Ming Fangyu's foot landed on the God-Slaying Platform, the platform became thirty-five tiers of steps, and two God-Slaying Mystic Blades whirled howling around him like vicious dragons.
He gripped his divine spear, and the spear came out like a dragon; he had just forced the two God-Slaying Mystic Blades apart by a hair when a cane flew at him and cracked against his forehead!
That blow left the Great Emperor Ming Fangyu's soul shaken from its seat; his primordial spirit was nearly knocked out of Heavenly Emperor Taichu's body, and dread rose in his heart.
At that moment the Taiyi cane pierced through layer upon layer of the bloody net of blades.
Ting.
Using the Taiyi cane as a sword, Shen Mu struck the point between the brows of Taichu's body; the Great Emperor's primordial spirit quaked violently and was flung backward out of Taichu's body!
Shen Mu drew back the cane, turned his head to the girl beside him, and smiled.
"Ling, I am here. "
