Chapter 1694 — Drawing His Sword to Subdue the Champions
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Shen Mu picked up the chopsticks and lifted a slice of pig ear; the woman hurriedly said: "Young Master, do not eat it. Zhu Santong's abilities are extraordinary — he has forged an indestructible Dao body. If you eat any of his flesh, he will take form inside you and make mischief in your belly."
Shen Mu put the pig ear back and laid down the chopsticks, astonished: "There is such a skill? I left a sword-Dao wound in his wound to prevent him merging — and he can still take form in my belly?"
The pig head said smugly: "This lord's skills are not for a Miluo Palace whelp like you to comprehend! This lord —"
Shen Mu's expression shifted slightly; he reached out and grasped the Tribulation Sword's scabbard, his face darkening.
The old man hurriedly took his seat and said with a smile: "The Seventh Young Master of Miluo Palace is magnanimous — do not lower yourself to bicker with a pig; would that not demean your own station? Young Master, put away your sword, put it away."
The pig head sneered: "Old monster, why do you fear him? Even the First Young Master could not kill us..."
Shen Mu gave a cold snort, and his aura abruptly changed — seated there, he seemed an obelisk stele.
In this world but one thing was missing: an obelisk stele. At this moment the primal qi within Shen Mu's body transformed into primal runes, precisely supplying the one that was lacking — and at once every countenance changed drastically!
The five people and one pig were dragged backward by a terrifying force, and the next moment their forms all vanished.
Shen Mu rose to his feet and looked beyond the village; outside the village, the faces of obelisk steles were like mirrors, and whether old man or old woman, girl or woman, Lord Shang or Zhu Santong, all were inlaid within the mirrors, unable to move.
And Zhu Santong remained hacked into pieces, his body incomplete.
In the whole village, apart from Shen Mu, only the paralytic on the sickbed in the house had not been taken into the obelisk.
"Though the First Young Master inherited the legacy of the Miluo Palace's master, I too know a little of his obelisk array. To subdue you is no great difficulty for me."
Shen Mu dispersed the primal rune sequence within his body and said: "Gentlemen, may we now have a proper talk?"
Only then did the others breathe easy, each stepping down from the mirror faces of the steles, full of doubt and alarm.
"What does the Seventh Young Master wish to discuss?" the old man asked.
Shen Mu took out the Taiyi Geographic Chart and asked: "Have any of you seen terrain such as this?"
The old woman and the old man studied it a long while, then each shook his head: "We have been suppressed for several cosmic epochs; we have never seen this chart."
The woman and the girl also shook their heads.
Lord Shang suddenly said: "I have seen it. This is the map of the distribution of Dao trees in the Ultimate Void of the Sixteenth Epoch."
