Chapter 1679 — The Door and the Stone Stele
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The pagoda disintegrated, transforming into countless flesh-and-blood Dao chains that coiled toward him once more. Shen Mu stamped his foot heavily, and the door panel whooshed up into the air. He caught one corner with both hands and swung it like an unimaginably huge divine saber, bringing it down in a single slash against those flesh-and-blood Dao chains!
In the past, when he had studied under the Nine Elders of Yincan Village, the Silent Craftsman had forged for him two dark iron blades the size of cutting boards. Though this door panel was larger still, Shen Mu wielded it without feeling anything strange about it!
Screech!
Those countless flesh-and-blood Dao chains were actually cut apart by this great door panel in a single stroke. The wind of cold silence howled, blowing the severed flesh-and-blood Dao chains apart in all directions.
Those flesh-and-blood Dao chains were like worms, swimming through the Ultimate Void, trying to piece themselves back together - but many were still completely scattered by the wind of cold silence.
Shen Mu lifted the door panel, using it as a saber, wielding it swift as lightning, slashing down again and again, cutting apart the Dao chains that had gathered together once more!
At last, accompanied by a violent gust of the wind of cold silence, Shen Mu, together with those severed flesh-and-blood Dao chains, was howled out of that abandoned place!
"Brother! The stone stele!"
Lan Yutian's delighted voice came again: "The stone stele!"
"What stone stele?"
Shen Mu gritted his teeth, raising the door panel to block the wind of cold silence. He was immediately blown tumbling and rolling, no telling where. In his haste he looked and indeed saw a square stone stele of unknowable height standing in the Ultimate Void - but his speed was too great, and the stele soon vanished from sight.
After a long while, Shen Mu finally managed to steady himself. The tower of flesh and blood was gone from his side, and so was that abandoned place.
"This door panel is indeed excellent!"
Shen Mu stood his upper body atop the door panel and praised it, then felt that his current appearance seemed somehow familiar.
"I seem to be just like Grandpa Tu in those days..."
