If he were in Yao Qingâs shoes, he would have died as well.
It was true that Yao Qing was a battle maniac, but he wasnât a fool. Facing an opponent he couldnât defeat would be seeking death.
âSince you didnât kill anyone just now, Iâll give you another chance. Get lost!â
The Great Destroyer Sword had already returned to its sheath. Zhou Shu placed his hands behind his back and looked at Yao Qing.
Yao Qingâs eyebrows twitched.
He glanced at the Great Destroyer Sword on Zhou Shuâs back and suppressed the anger in his heart.
It was easy to say something harsh, but if he couldnât beat the other party, he would only humiliate himself. He might even lose his life.
Gritting his teeth, he walked toward the camp.
âMy Heavenly Halberd!â Mei Wushang found the strength to shout while lying on the ground.
Yao Qing halted, his chest tightening.
Without hesitation, he threw the Heavenly Halberd in his hand.
The Heavenly Halberd turned into a stream of light and stabbed in front of Mei Wushang. Afraid of causing a misunderstanding, Yao Qing didnât even dare to use his movement technique. He just walked step by step toward the camp of the Demon Realm Army.
The remaining demonic beasts tentatively followed Yao Qing.
Seeing that Zhou Shu didnât move, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Only when they were several kilometers away from Zhou Shu did they start to speed up into the distance.
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Shu stood there with his hands behind his back, looking like an expert.
âWe won!â The survivors cheered in unison on the walls of the Huaxia Pavilionâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch.
âZhou Shu!â Yin Wuyou had already floated to Zhou Shuâs side. Her eyes were sparkling excitedly.
Zhou Shu had worked another miracle. He had defended their home.
Zhou Shu didnât even turn his head. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, âHelp me back. Iâm exhausted. I canât move.â
Yin Wuyou was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
Zhou Shu had just killed a hundred demonic beasts with one strike and killed a first-rank humanoid demonic beast with another. It wasnât as easy as it looked.
Without thinking, she walked to Zhou Shuâs side and placed one of his hands on her shoulder. Then she reached her hand from Zhou Shuâs back to his armpit and helped him in the direction of the camp.
Yin Wuyou blushed, her face almost buried in Zhou Shuâs arms.
It looked like Zhou Shu had put his arm around Yin Wuyouâs shoulders and was hugging her. The people of Great Xia didnât mind.
Only His Highness was worthy of someone like Her Highness.
Zhou Shu smiled and nodded at everyone.
When he passed by Mei Wushang, he gestured for Yin Wuyou to stop.
âGeneral Mei, are you still alive?â Zhou Shu asked.
âYour Highness, I have failed the name you gave me.â Mei Wushangâs eyes were red. âIâm injured!â
Hearing that he could still say such things, Zhou Shu laughed.
Yao Ji had been determined to humiliate Mei Wushang and didnât kill him.
Mei Wushang looked a little miserable, but with the protection of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, his life wasnât in danger.
âThen you should reflect on yourself.â
Zhou Shu patted Yin Wuyouâs shoulder.
Yin Wuyou understood and helped Zhou Shu continue forward.
âDeputy Master Shi.â
As they entered the camp, they passed Shi Songtao, who was still in a daze.
âIâll leave the rest to you.â
With that, he and Yin Wuyou entered a stone room, and the door closed with a bang.
In the distance, Haitangâs face flushed.
Oh no. Iâll be in trouble when I get back.
Will His Majesty skin me alive?
Her Highness is going to lose her virginity!
Shi Songtao looked enviously at the closed door.?His Highness is really our role model.
Right, leave the rest to me?
What things?
It took him a moment to realize that the rest of it would be cleaning up the battlefield, wouldnât it?
He glanced at the battlefield. The joy of victory was instantly replaced by worry.
This battle could be considered a victory or a crushing defeat.
Great Xia had suffered heavy casualties!
With a heavy heart, he began to rescue the surviving soldiers of Great Xia.
In the stone room, Yin Wuyou helped Zhou Shu to the bed and staggered. She almost fell into his arms.
Smelling the pleasant fragrance, Zhou Shu felt the fatigue in his body lessen.
Yin Wuyou composed herself and looked at Zhou Shu.
âAre you all right?â she asked worriedly.
In her opinion, Zhou Shu must have used a secret technique that was extremely harmful to his body.
Otherwise, why would he be so exhausted that he couldnât even walk?
Her heart ached terribly. She couldnât help reaching out and touching Zhou Shuâs face.
Her movement stunned them both.
The atmosphere became a little ambiguous for a moment.
Cough coughâ
Zhou Shu sat on the bed while Yin Wuyou stood opposite him. His gaze was originally fixed on that area.
When Yin Wuyou reached out and touched his faceâ¦
If not for the fact that he was exhausted, he would have pounced on Yin Wuyou.
âIâm fine.â Zhou Shu broke the awkwardness.
Yin Wuyou hid her hand behind her back, and her face flushed red. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.?Why couldnât I hold it in?!
âGrand Minister, I wonât be able to recover in a day. Youâll have to work harder on the camp,â Zhou Shu said.
âWill it take that long?â Yin Wuyou asked worriedly. âWill it affect you in the future? How should I help you?â
âNo. Just watch the camp. Iâll be back on my feet in a day.â
âShi Songtao can handle matters outside. Iâll stay here with you.â Yin Wuyou was going all out. So what if she lost face? âWould you like some water? Iâll pour some for you. Are you hungry? Iâll have Haitang prepare a meal.â
âNo need. Iâll circulate my energy and adjust my breathing for a while.â Zhou Shu shook his head and smiled.
Zhou Shu closed his eyes and saw the Legendary Armament Canon.
On the page of the Great Destroyer Sword, its grade was already black!
Not only that, but the upgrade conditions below had also been unlocked.
In the first battle after the Great Destroyer Sword became a black-grade weapon, he directly killed more than a hundred demonic beasts and fulfilled the conditions to upgrade it.
Now, Zhou Shu already knew how to upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword to an earth-grade weapon.
Although the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was cruel, to Zhou Shu, it was truly a blessed land.
If it were anywhere else, how could the Great Destroyer Sword be upgraded so easily?
He even suspected that at this rate, when the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament ended, he could upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword to a heaven-grade weapon!
But compared to the unlocking of the Great Destroyer Swordâs upgrade condition, what surprised Zhou Shu was that after the Great Destroyer Sword became a black-grade weapon, its kill reward had changed!
The reward he received for completing kills with the yellow-grade Great Destroyer Sword was the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique!
Ever since he reached perfection in the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique, its killing reward had already become spiritual essence cultivation.
Not just the Great Destroyer Sword, when the rewards for the other weapons reached their maximum ability, he would be rewarded with spiritual essence cultivation.
The Great Destroyer Sword had been upgraded to a black-grade weapon. Zhou Shu had used it to kill the second-rank leopard demonic beast and unexpectedly obtained a divine ability!
[Divine Ability, Total Annihilation!]
[Unleash ten to a hundred times of oneâs cultivation. The aftereffects are a day of exhaustion.]
Zhou Shuâs cultivation was at the third rank of the Martial Dao. And he had reached perfection in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique, basic mastery in the Visualization of the Five Mountainsâ True Form and God of War Catalog, and lesser mastery of the Iron Smelting Hands Techniqueâ¦
His overall combat strength was considered the top among first-rank martial artists.
With ten times his combat strength, no first-rank martial artist was a match for him!
But the shortcoming of this divine ability was also very obvious. Once he used it, he could only unleash a limited amount of moves.
Previously, Zhou Shu hadnât wanted to let Yao Qing go. But after killing Yao Ji, his divine ability had reached the cooldown period.
At the time, not to mention killing Yao Qing, if Yao Qing attacked him, he wouldnât be able to fight back at all. He would probably have really died at Yao Qingâs hands.
Fortunately, Yao Qing was intimidated by him. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
