âDonât tell me you donât have an agenda. I donât believe you.â Zhou Shu had already discovered that he could only deal with Yin Yuzhu forcefully. Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to get her to say anything useful.
âIâll tell you,â Yin Yuzhu said helplessly. âThis is the Weapon Burial Mountain of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Back then, when the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain collapsed, part of its ruins was here. I happened to discover its traces.
âThe Weapon Burial Mountain is where the weapons were buried in the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. They believe that weapons have spirits, so when the personal weapons of the disciples are destroyed, they will be buried here.
âThere are also some disciples of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain who killed powerful enemies and buried their weapons here.â
Yin Yuzhu put on an attitude of a know-it-all, which was completely different from her previous ignorance in the camp.
Zhou Shu understood that it was useless to guess a womanâs thoughts, especially those of a woman with ulterior motives.
His mind raced as he absorbed the information Yin Yuzhu said. But he didnât say anything and instead stared at Yin Yuzhu, waiting for her to continue speaking.
âOf course, Iâm here to dig up a few good weapons. The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain is the ancestral source of forging, and their forging techniques are at the peak of perfection. Ordinary weapons are not qualified to be buried in the Weapon Burial Mountain,â Yin Yuzhu said matter-of-factly.
Zhou Shu snorted and still didnât speak. His eyes didnât blink as he continued to stare at Yin Yuzhu, his face filled with disbelief.
Not to mention that the Weapon Burial Mountain was the tomb of weapons, but there were not many intact weapons inside at all. Even if there were, why would Yin Yuzhu go through so much trouble for a few weapons?
If she did it herself, the efficiency of the excavation would definitely be greater than that of the Hundred Wars Armored Army.
Seeing Zhou Shuâs expression, Yin Yuzhuâs face fell. She cursed, âIâm not your prisoner. What kind of attitude is that? I spent money. You can just do what youâre paid to do. Why are you asking so much?â
A murderous aura shot out from Zhou Shuâs body, and Yin Yuzhu rolled her eyes.
âIâll tell you! Iâll tell you!â Yin Yuzhu said loudly. âWhat kind of man bullies women!
âRumor has it that the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain had a divine artifact with unparalleled power. Itâs said that it perished along with the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. I wondered if it was in the Weapon Burial Mountain.â
âIn that case, why donât you dig up this Weapon Burial Mountain yourself?â Zhou Shu asked coldly.
âAre you stupid?â Yin Yuzhu said disdainfully. âIâve already told you that itâs a divine weapon with unparalleled power. Even if itâs only a remnant weapon now, its power is not something ordinary weapons can compare to. What if it still has some power left and kills me?â
âSo, you used the Hundred Wars Armored Army as cannon fodder?â Zhou Shuâs face was brimming with killing intent.
âYou canât blame me for that,â Yin Yuzhu said. âHumans die for wealth, and birds die for food. I gave them money, and you agreed. I didnât ask them to fight humans or demons to the deathâ¦â
Weapons were neither human nor demon. She wasnât lying.
Zhou Shu snorted. This kind of word game was meaningless.
âSophistry!â Zhou Shu said coldly. âIf you canât save them, youâll be buried with them.â
Zhou Shu seemed to be stating a fact. With that, he ignored Yin Yuzhu and walked to the front of the Weapon Burial Mountain.
He didnât know what the Weapon Burial Mountain looked like in the past, but it was only two to three hundred meters tall now. It stood alone on the ground, clearly separated from the surrounding mountains.
Upon closer inspection, it was as if the entire mountain had been moved here by an external force.
This situation made Zhou Shu believe Yin Yuzhuâs words. It was really possible that this mountain had been part of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain in the past. But it was impossible to verify if it was called the Weapon Burial Mountain.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the Earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword on his back unsheathed at lightning speed.
A thousand-foot-long sword beam seemed to split the sky and instantly slashed at the Weapon Burial Mountain.
Buzzâ
There was a soft sound, followed by the clang of countless weapons.
On the Weapon Burial Mountain, a small light suddenly erupted, and the light shot out from inside the mountain. In an instant, the entire Weapon Burial Mountain seemed to be pierced by the light.
Boom!
The light of the Heaven Slaying Sword Art disappeared, and the Weapon Burial Mountain trembled violently.
âReckless!â Yin Yuzhu cursed and instantly retreated several kilometers like lightning. Then her figure flashed repeatedly, and she kept retreating. In the blink of an eye, she had already retreated dozens of kilometers away and looked like an ant.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. âBig Brother, get your men to retreat first.â
He felt a force brewing inside the Weapon Burial Mountain, as if it would erupt at any moment.
Looking at Yin Yuzhuâs reaction, there might be danger here.
His strike just now didnât cut open the Weapon Burial Mountain. Instead, it seemed to have provoked it.
Zhou Shu wasnât afraid, but there were still Mi Ziwen and the Hundred Wars Armored Army here.
If anything really happened, he might not be able to take care of them.
Mi Ziwen could tell that something was wrong. He knew that this wasnât the time to be polite. If the Hundred Wars Armored Army stayed here, they would only become a burden to his second brother.
âSecond Brother, take care!â Mi Ziwen said in a deep voice. He gathered the Hundred Wars Armored Army and quickly left the Weapon Burial Mountain.
âLittle Lu, you leave too.â Zhou Shu noticed that Lu Wenshuang hadnât left.
âMaster, Iâm a first-rank martial artist. I can help you,â Lu Wenshuang said stubbornly. She hadnât thought highly of Yin Yuzhu before, and now, she wanted to redeem herself.
Zhou Shu snorted.?This woman is as worrisome as my Wuyou.
âIf I tell you to leave, youâll leave. Are you going to disobey my orders?â he said coldly.
He hated arrogant women the most. Was being a first-rank martial artist so impressive?
Lu Wenshuang was stunned. A hint of disappointment and hatred for herself flashed across her eyes.
She turned to evacuate with Mi Ziwen without saying anything more.
When her back was facing Zhou Shu, she clenched her fists and made up her mind. She had to work hard to cultivate and improve her strength as soon as possible. She couldnât let her master underestimate her!
Zhou Shu had no time to pay attention to Lu Wenshuangâs thoughts. He stared at the Weapon Burial Mountain curiously.
âYouâre already a broken weapon. Is there something you want to protect?â Zhou Shu muttered. âI want to see whatâs under the Weapon Burial Mountain.
âIf you were in good condition, with so many spiritual weapons, you might be able to stop me. But nowâ¦â
As Zhou Shu spoke, he took a step forward, and a towering aura erupted from his body.
As he stepped forward, everything under his elbows turned red, as if they were made of magma.
Heat filled the air.
Clank!
On the Weapon Burial Mountain, a bright light shot out. It was a broken sword!
The broken sword was already rusty, but at this moment, it exuded boundless sharpness.
Zhou Shuâs lips curled up slightly. He raised his hands and held the broken sword between them.
The power of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique erupted, and the broken sword turned into a fiery red solution that flowed down at a visible speed.
Rustle!
A loud sound rang out from within the Weapon Burial Mountain. Rays of light shot out one after another, covering the sky and earth as they pressed down on Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu laughed. âIâm a forger. Iâm good at dealing with weapons.â
He waved his hands, and two fire dragons spiraled out. The Iron Smelting Hands Technique Hand was at full power. In an instant, the area within dozens of feet seemed to have become a high-temperature smelting furnace. Any remaining weapons that entered this range began to turn red and melt at a visible speed.
But the remaining weapons flew toward Zhou Shu like moths to a flame without any hesitation.
