540 You and I are Fated (2/2)
Not only that, the distance was even widening and they got closer and closer to the crumbling space!
Cold sweat broke out on Yu He and Shu Yao's foreheads. Inside the crumbling space hid the power of the collision between Saint Woodcutter's divine ax and Fu Riluo's devil spear. This power had created the sand table world earlier, turning a plaza that was a hundred yards by a hundred fifty yards into a vast world with a thousand miles mountain range.
The falling apart of that world would definitely release the power generated by the collision of the divine axe and devil spear!
This power was not something that divine arts practitioners of Seven Stars Realm could defend against. They would most likely be vaporized to the point there would be nothing left even of their souls!
”Could that Qin Mu who was calling us just now have wanted to bring us out?”
Only now did they start to regret. They were astonished by the light of Qin Mu's sword and went into a daze, so they didn't hear what he was trying to say after that. When they came back to their senses, it was already too late.
At this moment, a light flashed by them, and Qin Mu suddenly appeared beside them. The countless runes swirled around them and burst forth with light. Yu He and Shu Yao felt the world spin for a long while. When they finally stepped on the ground, they opened their eyes to take a look and realized that they had come out of the plaza.
”Move!” Qin Mu shouted out and ran forward. ”Hide behind the big palace!”
Yu He and Shu Yao hurriedly followed him toward where Sang Hua was already hiding. When the four of them reunited, Qin Mu squatted down, closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and covered his ears. Sang Hua immediately did the same upon seeing his actions.
Before Yu He and Shu Yao could even think to do the same, a terrifying wave burst forth from the center of the plaza and incomparably bright lights shone. In an instant, they were blinded, and when they closed their eyes, two lines of bloody tears were streaming down their faces!
Next, the wave formed by the collapse of space rushed over them. Yu He and Shu Yao's body were pulled longer and longer as though they were noodles,.
Terrifying sounds rang out for a moment before their ears could hear nothing at all. It was strangely silent!
Warm blood started to flow out of their ears.
Above the big palace, the gods of Supreme Emperor Heaven released their god power and raised a wall of divine light, blocking the energy blasting out from the collapsed space. Even so, the two youths were tormented terribly.
On the other hand, Qin Mu and Sang Hua who had squatted down weren't affected much. After the light dispersed and the wave left into the distance, the two of them closed their mouths and opened their eyes.
Yu He and Shu Yao landed on the ground with a thump and sprawled motionlessly. When they got up, both of their faces were covered in blood.
The two of them couldn't hear or see anything.
”Senior sister and senior brother are still too young and hasn't experienced anything like this.” Qin Mu shook his head and went forward to examine the two of them. ”I have encountered something similar to this before and knew what would happen if I was near where a god and a devil fought... They're not too badly hurt. I will refine some medicine for them later to regrow their eye membranes and eardrums.”
Sang Hua was worried. ”What happened?”
”Their eye membranes were burned and their eardrums were torn. It isn't a big problem.” Qin Mu flipped through his taotie sack in search of medicinal ingredients. ”If their eyes had exploded and the bones in their ears had broken, I wouldn't be able to cure it. At that point, even the brain would be all fried. Their eye membranes weren't fully burned and their eardrums only had a small hole pierced, so they can still grow back.
”Senior Sister Yu He and Senior Brother Shu Yao's corporeal bodies are indeed strong, stronger than me. If it was me, my eye membranes would have burned off completely.”
Sang Hua stuck out her tongue and looked around. She saw that close to half of the buildings in Li City were destroyed. Everywhere were collapsed houses and pavilions. Numerous devils had collapsed to the floor and were rolling on the ground in extreme pain.
Fu Riluo pulled out his devil spear and his three faces shouted in unison. ”One must always honor a bet! All the devils, listen up and abandon the city! Junior Brother Su Mo, bring all the men out of Li City!”
The devil gods received their orders and restrained their own devils in preparation to withdraw.
”Heavenly Teacher, today is not a good day to fight with you. We'll continue another day.”
”Not a problem, not a problem.”
Fu Riluo jumped down from the palace and led everyone in leaving. Qin Mu at that time was refining pills to treat Yu He and Shu Yao's injuries. When he saw Fu Riluo walking out from the corner of his eyes, he hurriedly looked at him and couldn't help becoming stunned.
He saw that the back of Fu Riluo's head had thick curly hair and had no fourth face. Instead, two sharp ears were there, and they were very straight.
'He only has three faces.”
Like that, Qin Mu settled one of the questions gnawing at his heart. Ever since he saw Fu Riluo, he had wanted to know how many faces the devil had. He kept thinking about it and finally got his answer.
Fu Riluo sensed his gaze and twisted his neck to reveal a face that had a smile. He said leisurely, ”Your name is Qin Mu? The blacksmith Qin Mu?”
The youth was about to say something when a figure flashed before him and Saint Woodcutter appeared in front of him, blocking Fu Riluo's line of sight.
Qin Mu still popped his head out from the back and said with a smile. ”Yes, my name is Qin Mu. I pay my respects to Vajra Devil God.”
”You understand the devil language? Fu Riluo indeed means vajra.” Fu Riluo nodded and said with deep meaning, ”You and I are fated, so we will meet again.”
When he was done, he turned around and walked away. ”Zhe Huali, follow up.”
