Chapter 761 — The Fierce Fiend's Mask
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Old Ox said, "You underestimated his thick skin. With the Yin Son of Heaven appearing, I fear these Youdu monsters and demon-gods can now march into Fengdu."
Before the words had faded, the Yin Son of Heaven in the sky opened his mouth, murmuring words in the profound, obscure tongue of Youdu; surging demonic qi gathered and took form at the center of his brow as a vertical eye.
The vertical eye opened, and a black light descended from the heavens, slicing into the Nai River where fire and water flowed as one. The river was cut apart and parted to either side, and from the riven surface demon-gods came leaping out one after another, roaring at the top of their lungs.
That gaze of the Yin Son of Heaven fell from the sky, cutting all the way down, and soon reached the bridge between life and death.
Niu Sanduo gave a furious roar; his body swelled joint by joint, transforming into an ox-headed god-man towering to the heavens, and he hurled out a fist. That gaze of the Yin Son of Heaven was shattered by the blow.
Shen Mu looked toward the Nai River and saw countless monsters crawling out madly like ants swarming from a nest, climbing from Youdu through the rift into Fengdu.
"So it's the mount of Old Farmer — that old ox."
The Yin Son of Heaven immediately noticed the bridge and laughed. "If your master came, that would be more like it. Heh, and Shen Fengqing is here too. Your mortal body is mine..."
Just then a blade-light shot up into the sky; it was Tian Shu swinging his saber at the Yin Son of Heaven. The Yin Son of Heaven gave a cold laugh and let the blow land upon his face.
The face was split open, and at once the face in the sky vanished; then another face emerged, also the face of the Yin Son of Heaven.
Tian Shu, the Heavenly King, was about to swing his saber again when suddenly face after face emerged upon the dark vault of Fengdu's sky; in the blink of an eye the handsome face of the Yin Son of Heaven multiplied to a hundred or more, blotting out the dark heavens of Fengdu completely.
Hundreds of faces in the sky opened their mouths as one, and from those mouths arms came reaching out, hundreds of arms grabbing downward!
Tian Shu resisted with the Imperial Palace Divine Saber, hewing down one great hand after another, but still more hands came clawing down.
Niu Sanduo stood upon the bridge, his fist arts fierce and domineering, beating back the grasping hands one by one, but there were simply too many palms in the sky for him to hold them all off.
At the same time, the four Military Commissioners of Youdu crossed the Nai River; marshaling tens of thousands of Youdu demon-gods, they led endless hordes of monsters in a charge at the Fengdu gods and demon-gods within the divine city.
Within the divine city of Fengdu, god after god and demon-god after demon-god roared to the heavens and came out to meet them; both banks of the Nai River were plunged at once into a horrifying slaughter.
Suddenly King Yan, who was in the midst of opening up Fengdu, came flying over; his cloak unfurled, and the vast divine city was at once shrouded beneath it.
King Yan snapped his cloak open with a swish, and there along both banks of the Nai River within the city, bones lay stark and bare everywhere!
Those countless monsters, demon-gods included, had been turned to white bone by him.
"The son Kaigong picked up does have some skill! But your Youdu divine arts are not yet fully cultivated!"
In the sky, great hands reached down and seized King Yan's cloak, lifting him up. Startled, King Yan bellowed and drew his sword, slashing at the hands that gripped him!
