âA first-rank demonic beast?â Zhou Shuâs heart skipped a beat. âIâll go take a look.â
Outside the Huaxia Pavilionâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, Zhou Shu saw the lingering first-rank demonic beast.
As expected, it was Yao Qing.
He was wondering which first-rank demonic beast dared to stroll outside his camp after he had just made Yao Lian retreat.
âI brought what you wanted.â Yao Qing looked at Zhou Shu with an extremely complicated expression.
Although he hadnât returned to meet the Demon Realm army, he had also received the news.
Lord Yao Lian had fought this man and temporarily retreated.
Yao Qing had previously wondered if this man was no weaker than a great demon.
Now, it seemed that he was indeed no weaker than a great demon.
He didnât lose unjustly.
âThe saber technique you promised meââ Yao Qing said in a low voice.
âDonât worry. Iâll keep my word. As long as you send me the ore, Iâll definitely teach you saber techniques.â
Zhou Shu didnât expect Yao Qing to really come back to find him.
It seemed Yao Qing was really obsessed with becoming stronger.
âLord Yao Lianâs people have been watching this place. I canât get people to deliver the ore,â Yao Qing said solemnly. âIâll put the excavated ore in one place. Have someone move itââ
Before he could finish, he saw a dark shape flying toward him.
Shocked, Yao Qing erupted with a violent aura. He raised his fist and smashed forward.
Swish!
Yao Qingyiâs punch missed. The feeling almost made him vomit blood.
Zhou Shu was holding something in his hand and looking at Yao Qing speechlessly.
âYou think I ambushed you with a concealed weapon?â Zhou Shu said angrily. âThis is for you. Bring back the ore you dug out.â
He threw the bangle again.
If he hadnât reacted quickly, Yao Qing would have destroyed the Cosmic Bangle with a punch.
This time, Yao Qing didnât attack again. He awkwardly reached out to catch the bangle Zhou Shu threw at him.
âWhat is this?â Yao Qing looked puzzled.
Unlike other demonic beasts, Yao Qing wasnât averse to using weapons. He had used a saber before when fighting Zhou Shu.
The gray bangle in front of him looked more like an ornament of the human race. There were also some demonesses in the Demon Realm who liked to wear this.
Yao Qing didnât understand what Zhou Shu meant by giving him this.
âActivate it with your spiritual essence,â Zhou Shu said.
Yao Qing did as he was told and injected a stream of spiritual essence.
Buzzâ
A translucent space appeared in front of Yao Qing, and his eyes widened.
âA void beast?!â Yao Qing cried out involuntarily.
He came from the Demon Realm, so he had naturally heard of void beasts.
But with his status, he couldnât have a void beast.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even in the Demon Realm, void beasts were extremely rare existences. Ordinary people would not usually have them.
âAs expected of Ji Lutianâs son, you saw through the principle at a glance,â Zhou Shu said with a smile.
âThatâs right. This is the Cosmic Bangle I forged after the void beast.
âUse it to send over the ore you dug up, and Iâll teach you a supreme saber technique.â
Yao Qingâs expression darkened.?That bastard Yao Buqi really told him everything!
âThereâs too little room for the ore I dug up.â Yao Qing said coldly.
âThen make two more trips,â Zhou Shu said. âYao Qing, donât think about playing any tricks with me. Otherwise, it wonât matter even if your father is Ji Lutian!â
Yao Qing snorted and buckled the Cosmic Bangle on his wrist. He turned around and disappeared into the forest.
âDeputy Pavilion Master, Yao Qing will send some ore later. Youâre in charge of receiving it. Remember to take a good look. Donât be fooled by him, âZhou Shu instructed Shi Songtao after returning to the camp and then entered the forging room without looking back.
âWho is Yao Qing?â Great Xiaâs first-rank martial artist, Luo Ling, looked at Shi Songtao in confusion.
âCould it be that the first-rank demonic beast outside is the King of the Southâs manâno, demon?â Meng Bai said with a shocked expression.
Shi Songtao rolled his eyes.?This is Great Xiaâs God of War? A first-rank expert? Whatâs the big deal!
âYao Qing lost to our pavilion master. He admires our pavilion masterâs cultivation, so heâs willing to be a miner and mine for our pavilion master,â Shi Songtao said proudly. He was different from these country bumpkins who had never seen the world. He was the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion and had seen the world.
Arenât they just demonic beast miners? Our Huaxia Pavilion has plenty of them!
âBy the way, this Yao Qing is a human-demon hybrid. His father or mother is human,â Shi Songtao added.
Meng Bai, Luo Ling, and the others were all shocked.
The King of the South was really unpredictable. He could even subdue such an existence!
In the forging room, Zhou Shu didnât take Yao Qing seriously at all.
He immediately threw himself into forging.
In the previous battle, his black-grade Great Destroyer Sword, Abyss Rainbow Sword, and Marquis of Xinting Saber were all destroyed.
All things considered, heâd lost a lot in this battle.
He had to make up for it with Yao Lian later!
I havenât mastered the divine ability Total Annihilation. And I must forge the black-grade Great Destroyer Sword again.
Zhou Shu pondered as he smelted the forging materials.
I havenât reached perfection in the Great Traversal Sword Art yet either, so I need another Abyss Rainbow Sword as well.
With his current cultivation, if he wanted to unleash his full strength, it was best to use a heaven-grade weapon. At the very least, he should use an earth-grade weapon.
