Chapter 1756 — I Am No Sage: A Certain Gentleman
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The two sides collided. When You Bijun saw the Shanghuang Heaven Emperors of successive generations, he could not help laughing. "So it is the Shanghuang Heaven Emperors, every one of you dead! Even the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha was slain by me. Do you pack of corpses think to block my Divine Stratagem Army?"
Whoosh —
The demon army swept over hill after hill like a tide, surging in from both flanks of the Divine Stratagem Left Guard. Bai Qu'er roused her divine sword and cried in a loud voice, "Form up! Hold them!"
Luo Shu's face was red with excitement, and with the other Shanghuang officers and soldiers he shouted, "Fight to the death—"
The two armies crashed together with a roar. Countless demon gods were enormous and hideous of body, terrifying in their martial power, and at the very first clash half of the thousand-odd Shanghuang gods were cut down at once.
Xing An's face was calm, and he said quietly to the box, "Do not go running off after them. Just stay at my side."
Scarcely had he spoken when suddenly a human head rolled to his feet. Xing An was struck dumb; the head was that of the young god who had just called himself Luo Shu.
Luo Shu's eyes were wide, staring sightless at the sky.
Xing An's heart shuddered once, and he turned his head aside. "Tch — I... why will my tears suddenly not stop..."
He clenched his fists. Around him a horde of demons capered wildly, the demon gods' faces twisted.
Xing An looked into Luo Shu's eyes; the youth's clear eyes slowly grew clouded.
"I..."
Xing An's Adam's apple moved with difficulty. Suddenly the box left him and charged into the midst of the horde of demons.
"I am no sage!" Xing An roared, and the box flew open.
His aura burst forth; countless demon gods were sent flying through the air. Xing An soared into the sky, and out of the box rushed a flood of all his terrible treasures.
Hummm —
A dreadful wave of force erupted, hurling countless demon gods head over heels, and Xing An, like the most terrifying demon god in all the world, began a great slaughter.
A day later, Jiang Baigui arrived here at the head of his great army, and saw that for several thousand li around the land had been leveled flat, corpses lay everywhere, and the Divine Stratagem Left Guard and the Youdu demon gods and monsters were all but extinct.
Xing An sat on the box. Beside him a girl in bloodstained clothes leaned on her sword, panting heavily, and a blind old man stood aloof by the corpses of the nine emperors.
The nine Shanghuang corpse demons were utterly dead; their obsession was gone.
