When the sabers collided earlier, Yao Qing had cut off his opponentâs saber, and his confidence returned a little.
Since he had severed the opponentâs saber, it meant that the opponent was not invincible.
At the very least, he didnât have the strength of a great demon.
Otherwise, the opponent would have suppressed him!
This human is very strong, but not strong enough to make me despair!
Yao Qingâs battle intent surged. His strength actually increased slightly!
Zhou Shu sighed inwardly.
The standard Spring Embroidered Saber couldnât withstand such an intense battle.
After all, Yao Qingâs weapon was a heaven-grade weapon. How could a standard weapon resist it?
Not to mention the Spring Embroidered Saber, even the Great Destroyer Sword wouldnât be able to fight a heaven-grade weapon without being damaged.
The more Zhou Shu thought about it, the more depressed he became. As a forger, he was actually at a disadvantage in terms of weapons!
If he had a heaven-grade weapon now, would Yao Qing still have a chance to fight back?
His strength was actually dragged down by the weapon in his hand.
Even the Great Destroyer Sword couldnât unleash his full strength.
In the past, his opponents were too weak, so this flaw was not obvious.
But now, this flaw was infinitely magnified when he fought the thick-skinned Yao Qing.
âHmph!â Zhou Shu snorted and visualized the Five Mountainsâ True Form in his consciousness.
His divine sense transformed into five mountains that crashed into Yao Qingâs head.
The power of his divine sense was invisible. Although Yao Qing could vaguely sense it, before he could react, he felt a pain in his head, as if he had been hit in the head by a sledgehammer. His vision darkened.
Oh no!?Yao Qingâs heart sank. He was also very experienced in combat. Almost without thinking, his spiritual essence erupted.
Boomâ
At this moment, the Great Destroyer Sword had already bypassed his long saber and slashed heavily at his chest.
Yao Qingâs burly body flew back high.
This was not the power of Zhou Shuâs sword, but him using the momentum to jump back and reduce the power of Zhou Shuâs sword.
As he jumped back, Yao Qing waved his heaven-grade saber.
His eyes were unfocused, his expression savage.
But his slash made Zhou Shu unable to pursue him effectively.
Boom!
Yao Qing landed heavily on the ground, his eyes red, his breathing heavy.
âYou canât kill me!â Yao Qing said in a low voice.
He gathered his thoughts and focused.
âAlthough youâre almost as strong as a great demon, youâre not a great demon after all. Such an attack is only effective the first time. It wonât work now that Iâm prepared!â
It was rare for Yao Qing to talk so much.
Although he said that Zhou Shuâs divine sense attacks were not effective against him, his behavior showed that he was not completely unconcerned.
Zhou Shu didnât comment on this and snorted coldly. âWeâve had enough fun, Yao Qing. Take another blow from me.â
His aura suddenly shifted.
In Yao Qingâs eyes, boundless flames suddenly rose from Zhou Shuâs body. He seemed to be riding a dragon in the flames.
A monstrous dragon slammed into him.
Yao Qingâs expression changed.
Just as he was about to attack, he felt an immense force coming from his chest.
Crack!
Yao Qing felt a few of his ribs break. His chest surged, and he spat out a cloud of blood.
He rolled in the air, trying to control himself. He turned into a black shadow and fled into the camp.
âHmph!â Zhou Shu didnât continue to pursue.
He snorted and took a deep breath. His face cleared.
The power of the God of War Catalog was indeed extraordinary.
But the consumption was also huge. Zhou Shu had used the God of War Catalog as a bridge to fuse his divine sense, true qi, spiritual essence, and even the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique and the Heavenly Saber Art into one, which was why he was able to severely injure Yao Qing.
But Yao Qingâs reaction was also quick. He finally realized that he was not fighting alone. He still had an army of 5,000 demonsâ¦
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at the demon armyâs camp for a while.
This time, although he didnât kill Yao Qing, his injuries wouldnât recover in a day or two. He should be able to stall for a few more days.
Zhou Shu had used so many methods this time. Speaking of which, this was his ultimate goal.
Even he could not easily kill an army of 5,000 demons.
The opponent couldnât kill him, but at the same time, he couldnât stop the charge of the army of 5,000 demons.
If Yao Qing really ordered the 5,000-strong demon army to attack, with the current strength of the Huaxia Pavilionâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, they would definitely lose.
To have the newly built camp immediately occupied by the demon army, Zhou Shu couldnât afford to lose face!
Fortunately, Yao Qingâs personality was the same as what he had learned when he entered the dream.
With both soft and hard tactics, he had indeed forgotten to deploy his army directly.
Although Zhou Shu couldnât kill him, he had at least severely injured him.
The rest would have to wait until his injuries healed.
Zhou Shu snorted. In the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, he was constantly getting stronger.
A few days later, when Yao Qingâs injuries healed, Zhou Shu would become even stronger.
At that time, he might be able to take down Yao Qing!
Yao Buqi stood there like a wooden statue. He looked at Zhou Shuâs back with a complicated expression.
Yao Qing was defeated!
This lunatic Yao Qing was actually easily defeated by this human!
How can this human be so strong?
He is clearly only a third-rank martial artist.
Yao Buqi was starting to panic.?Will my plan still work?
Zhou Shu watched for a while and confirmed that the demon army had no intention of taking action. Only then did he turn around and walk toward the Huaxia Pavilionâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch.
Yao Buqi hesitated for a moment. Before Zhou Shu could speak, he obediently followed.
This human had even easily defeated the martial madman Yao Qing. With his spiritual essence sealed, it was impossible for him to escape.
In that case, why ask for trouble?
A wise man submits to circumstances. Iâll suffer for a few more days and then perfect my plan to catch a turtle in a jar!
Our Demon Realm is so powerful. It makes no sense that we canât even deal with this human!
At this thought, Yao Buqiâs thoughts came alive again.
â¦
In the camp of the Demon Realm army, Yao Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face distorted from the pain.
His brow furrowed, and he groaned.
âYouâre strong, but not invincible!â He stared in Zhou Shuâs direction, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. âIf I defeat you, Iâll have the ability to challenge Yao Wudi!â
âMilord, when do we attack and rescue Lord Yao Buqi?â a demonic beast outside asked in beast language.
âYao Buqi?â Yao Qing snorted coldly. That kid is already a traitor. Itâs not important whether we save him or not!
Besides, he had learned a lot from fighting that human twice. Opportunities were hard to come by. If they broke through his camp, there was no telling where he would run off to.
âLet everyone conserve their energy. In a few days, it will be the best time to attack,â Yao Qing instructed.
Humanoid demonic beasts had a respected status in the Demon Realm. When he said this, the demonic beasts didnât dare to doubt him at all and followed his instructions.
On the other side, Zhou Shu had already returned to the Huaxia Pavilionâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch.
âDeputy Master Shi!â Zhou Shu shouted.
âHere!â Shi Songtao looked up from the corner of the wall and answered loudly. He was still dressing the high walls in iron and working diligently.
âFollow me into the mountains. I want to find some forging materials!â
âNow?â
Not only was Shi Songtao a little surprised, but Yin Wuyou, Mei Wushang, and the others were also surprised.
Now that the Demon Realmâs army was at the border and could attack at any time, they were going to the mountains to find forging materials?
âI wounded the commander of the Demon Realm army. I donât think theyâll attack in the next few days.â Zhou Shu knew Yao Qingâs personality very well. He explained, âIn the next few days, Iâm going to find some forging materials to upgrade my Great Destroyer Sword.â
âUpgrade the Great Destroyer Sword?!â Shi Songtao exclaimed. âYour Highness, you canât be rash! No one has ever succeeded in upgrading a weapon. The Great Destroyer Sword is the number one weapon in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. It would be a pity to destroy it!â
