Chapter 1835 — Bottomless
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Young Master Lingxiao charged at Shen Mu with spear in hand, thrust after thrust stabbing into the Universe Bell, riddling the bell with holes, and Shen Mu was shaken flying out of the city, while Yujing City, bright as new, was left broken and battered by this battle, nearly half torn down between them.
Chaos filled the city as the Twelve Palace Lords rushed to rescue those Enlightened falling toward the Chaos Rivers, yet they could not save them all in time, and more than ten Enlightened fell into the rivers and vanished.
As Shen Mu was forced out of Yujing City, the Chaos Rivers disappeared, for those Chaos Rivers were the sixteen rivers within Shen Mu's Chaos Palace, linked to the Calamities of Ruin of sixteen Cosmic Epochs, and to fall within meant slim chance of survival.
Boom! Violent shock came from beyond the city as a divine mountain range stretching tens of thousands of miles was lifted by Young Master Lingxiao with one spear thrust, refined in an instant into a long dragon that swept across Shen Mu's body, while the Dao spear stabbed again into the Universe Bell, leaving the great bell leaking air on every side.
The two fought beyond the city until heaven and earth were overturned, and in the distance Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua, Kaihuang, Jiang Baigui, and the others came on hearing the news, and seeing this scene from afar they moved to charge in.
Xu Shenghua held them back, shaking his head: "No need to go forward, to go forward is to court death.
Quickly record Young Master Lingxiao's powers!
" Granny Zhu, Zhu Santong, and the others were newcomers and did not grasp his meaning, yet they saw Lan Yutian, Jiang Baigui, Daozu, and the others swiftly recording Young Master Lingxiao's powers with great skill, plainly not the first time they had done so. In the distance Young Master Lingxiao fought long without prevailing, and catching sight of Xu Shenghua and the others upon the World-Crossing Golden Ship recording his powers, his heart chilled, and he withdrew his spear and vanished without a trace.
Shen Mu walked over covered in blood, holding up his battered Universe Bell, came aboard the ship and sat down with a thump, panting hard, and lifting his eyes asked: "How much did you record?
" "Still not much. " Xu Shenghua answered without lifting his head: "Young Master Lingxiao's reserves run far deeper than yours, you have been studied through and through, but Young Master Lingxiao has revealed only a small part of his skill.
" Shen Mu breathed out in relief and smiled: "So long as he cannot kill me, sooner or later I will draw out every power and trick he owns!
" Granny Zhu ached with pity and hastily had alchemists step forward to treat Shen Mu's wounds, while Zhu Santong quietly asked Taishi: "Does the Seventh Young Master often do this?
" Taishi nodded and whispered back: "He often goes to his enemies to take a beating, and we have worked out much of the Third and Fourth Young Masters' arts and Dao.
But those two Young Masters are unfathomable, we have not plumbed their depths, though we have Old Man Wuya figured out well enough.
"
