The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2

Please, Senior Brother, give me some face and let us finish this hardship assignment and return to report. To eliminate these two traitors, we have already lost no small number of fellow disciples. " Shen Mu said with a serious expression, "Of course. Your proper business is important.

It is only that I cannot listen to your side alone. I still need to ask them whether it is as you say. " Yu Bochuan, with a gentle and pleasant countenance, said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, I have already given you a way out.

Do not fail to appreciate my kindness. " Shen Mu also with a gentle and pleasant countenance, said with a smile, "The master of the Dark Demon Cult does not need anyone to give him a way out.

I will ask them. If it is indeed as you say, I will turn around and leave. You may continue dealing with your traitors. If it is.

" "There is no need!

" Yu Bochuan raised his hand and ordered those around him, "Kill him. We will go back and report.

" "Yes!

" Many qi refiners of the True Heaven Palace answered in unison. Their figures rose and fell as they pounced toward Shen Mu. Shen Mu laughed loudly, turned, grabbed the mother and daughter, and left. A Heaven-Man realm expert roared in anger, "Do you think you can leave? " Behind him appeared a towering great tree, its roots coiled like Azure Dragons. That was his primordial spirit. The cultivation methods of the Western Earth True Heaven Palace were also different from those of Jingping Kingdom.

The primordial spirits of Jingping Kingdom experts were often divided into four kinds: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

After cultivating to the Heaven-Man realm, the primordial spirit manifested behind them. Their primordial spirits were often deified forms of the four great spirit bodies, similar to the four kinds of stone statues in Yincan Village. Even if there were differences, they were not great; all belonged to the four great categories.

But the primordial spirits of True Heaven Palace experts were even stranger. Although this Heaven-Man realm expert's primordial spirit also belonged to the Azure Dragon lineage, it was like a great tree, very rarely seen. The great tree's roots and branches waved.

Swish, swish, swish - one root and branch after another, like Azure Dragons dancing, extended toward Shen Mu's back with extreme speed, flashing streaks of azure light in the air! Although Shen Mu was carrying two people, his movement technique was extremely fast, skimming over light and shadow.

In an instant he surpassed sound and produced a thunderous boom! The Lame Old Man's Sky-Skimming Divine Legs were the fastest under heaven, but Shen Mu was still at the Six Harmonies realm and could not bring out the Sky-Skimming Divine Legs to the Lame Old Man's level. The Heaven-Man realm expert was too strong. Those roots caught up with Shen Mu in the blink of an eye and stabbed toward the back of his heart. Yet at that moment, sword light suddenly erupted around them again.

Eight thousand swords rolled like wind and clouds. In an instant a scroll of mountains and rivers appeared behind Shen Mu. Clang, clang, clang - the sound of fierce strikes rang without cease as they chopped at the incoming roots and branches! The power of the sword diagram was extraordinary.

Moreover, Shen Mu's swords had all been refined from the finest materials. The roots and branches of that divine tree primordial spirit were unexpectedly cut away in no small amount. But a Heaven-Man realm was still a Heaven-Man realm.

That expert's divine tree primordial spirit moved and crashed over with a boom. With a world-shaking boom, the sword diagram immediately collapsed, and the eight thousand swords shot out in all directions! "Dragon Fatty!

" Shen Mu shouted.

The Dragon Qilin came running swiftly from ahead. Although its speed was very fast, its tone was slow and drawling: "Cult Master, you are stirring up trouble again.

. . " This Dragon Qilin's body grew larger and larger, colliding with the divine tree primordial spirit with a boom.

True fire blazed all around it, the flame temperature extremely high, burning the divine tree primordial spirit until it sizzled and squealed! That Heaven-Man realm expert hurriedly withdrew his primordial spirit. From the rear, a burly man in a lined jacket strode forward with heavy steps. Behind him appeared a stone giant, which was his mountain god primordial spirit, possessed of immense strength. It threw a punch and sent the Dragon Qilin flying.

The Dragon Qilin flailed its four legs in midair, but alas it was too fat and could not ride the fire clouds. It immediately obediently withdrew its legs and called out, "Bat brothers! " Two white bats flew over on beating wings, emitting silent sound waves from their mouths.

The sound wave impact sent the pursuers tumbling head over heels. The Dragon Qilin crashed headfirst into the ground, pulled its head out of the soil, shook it, and said angrily, "I told you to catch me!

" The two white bats flew nimbly back and forth, dodging attacks from below. Suddenly they seized two people and hung upside down from a tree, hugging them to drink blood.

But that great tree suddenly transformed; it was actually a powerful expert's primordial spirit, and it bound the two white bats tightly. Shen Mu took out a great white-bone hammer and gave it a slight shake. Immediately countless skeletons spewed from the eyes, ears, mouths, and noses of the white-bone skull, dancing through the sky with strange squeaks. They pounced forward, weaving through the crowd, biting whoever they saw, then drilling into their bodies.

The Dragon Qilin charged over again, opened its mouth, and spat blazing true fire at the azure tree primordial spirit, rescuing the two white bats. Seeing this, Yu Bochuan hurriedly shouted, "Retreat! We cannot fight freely here. Battle them outside!

"
