Chapter 204 Green Dragon Crescent Blade Successfully completes a Kill (2)
The person who shouted was Great Liang's Han Dazhi.
The seemingly fierce but actually cowardly Great Liang general.
He was currently being chased by a demonic beast bear that was even taller than him. His teammates were also held back by other demonic beasts and couldn't help.
"An old acquaintance, it's our first deal, so I'll give you a 20% discount," Zhou Shu said with a smile.
"General Chen, do you want to make some money?" Zhou Shu looked at Chen Ji.
Chen Ji laughed. "I can't wait!"
He was just worryied about not having the chance to attack.
Carrying the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Chen Ji charged toward Han Dazhi. Even though there were many demonic beasts here, Chen Ji wasn't worried about Zhou Shu's safety.
With the princess and Deputy Envoy Lu, there was no need to worry about the marquis's safety.
"Green Dragon Crescent Blade!" Chen Ji roared.
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade emanated a brilliant glow. There seemed to be a shadow of a dragon swimming on the blade, and everyone seemed to have heard a dragon's roar.
Swish!
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade descended from the sky. With just one slash, it split the demonic beast chasing Han Dazhi from head to toe.
Blood and organs splattered all over the ground.
The surrounding demonic beasts seemed to be shocked.
The area around Chen Ji and Han Dazhi suddenly turned into a no man's land.
Chen Ji was also surprised.
Although he already knew the power of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he was still pleasantly surprised when it came to actual combat.
Is this still a yellow-grade weapon?
This is almost as powerful as a black-grade weapon.
Chen Ji was full of excitement.
"Zhou Shu, is this the Green Dragon Crescent Blade you forged? It's so powerful." Yin Wuyou's voice sounded.
Shi Songtao and the others all looked at Zhou Shu. Marquis Zhou also forced this Green Dragon Crescent Blade?
Shi Songtao felt his mind go blank. This Green Dragon Crescent Blade was so powerful. It would probably enter the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual very soon.
He suddenly recalled something that Zhou Shu had once said. "I'm taking over the Yellow-grade Armament Manual…"
From the looks of it, it was impossible for him to take over the entire Yellow-grade Armament Manual. But it was very likely that he would take over the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
Fortunately, there was still the Great Destroyer Sword ranked second in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual. Otherwise, the top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual would become his domain.
Shi Songtao let out a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Shu was one of their own, he was also a Forging Master. Seeing the gap between the two grow bigger and bigger, how could Shi Songtao, who had always bragged about being a forging genius, feel good?
"Marquis, shall I try as well?" Yin Chengshan said.
Seeing Chen Ji show off his power, he couldn't wait to take action as well.
The Flaming Sunset Saber had not killed an enemy before.
"There's no hurry. You will have a chance." Zhou Shu laughed. "We can't kill these demonic beasts for nothing. If they don't pay, why should we kill them?"
Meanwhile, Han Dazhi was pleasantly surprised. This thick-skinned demonic beast was killed in one strike?
The people of Great Xia are truly abnormal!
Also, this saber is really mighty. I want it.
Han Dazhi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"I'll pay! Escort the people from Great Liang and help us kill ten demonic beasts!" Han Dazhi said loudly.
Great Liang's strength was the weakest among the challengers.
Even the demonic beasts were bullying them for being weak. There were more demonic beasts attacking them than the other teams.
Even though they would be able to make it through if they went all out, they would definitely suffer injuries.
This was greatly detrimental to the later stages.
Why would they risk their lives for something solvable with money?
Chen Ji glanced at Zhou Shu. When he saw Zhou Shu nod, he laughed heartily. "As you wish!
"Follow me!" Chen Ji's Green Dragon Crescent Blade led the way as he led Han Dazhi's group toward the exit of the valley.
(The Green Dragon Crescent Blade you forged effectively completed a kill. Reward…]
A barrage of messages flashed past Zhou Shu's eyes, but he didn't have the time to take a closer look.
Among the remaining nations, another one asked for help "Look, I told you they still had money on them, didn't I? At the last checkpoint, they were all pretending to be poor." Zhou Shu smiled. "General Yin, go and help." "Understood!" Yin Chengshan said excitedly. He picked up the Flaming Sunset Saber and imitated Chen Ji. He bent his knees, leaped high into the air, and slashed in the direction of the person asking for help. Boom!
A figure was sent flying. The person being rescued was forced back a few steps by the shockwave and almost crashed into the arms of another demonic beast.
He cursed angrily. "Is this how you do things after receiving money?" Yin Chengshan somersaulted twice in the air and landed awkwardly.
He was the one who was sent flying…
His cultivation level was not as high as Chen Ji's, and the Flaming Sunset Saber in his hand was not as good as Chen Ji's Green Dragon Crescent Blade either. He had embarrassed himself.
"I won't take your money for nothing!"
Yin Chengshan flew into a rage out of humiliation. He raised the Flaming Sunset Saber and charged over again.
Zhou Shu couldn't help but laugh. The demonic beasts here ranged from the fourth to the eighth rank.
Yin Chengshan was only a sixth-rank martial artist. Even if he held a sharp weapon, he couldn't kill the demonic beasts as he wished.
"Little Deputy Envoy Lu, do you want to practice?" Zhou Shu looked at Lu Wenshuang
He was also led astray by Yin Wuyou. "Mm?" Killing intent radiated from Lu Wenshuang's eyes as she stared at Zhou Shu. Say that again?
Zhou Shu glanced at her chest and said awkwardly, "Deputy Envoy Lu, Deputy Envoy Lu."
"I'm not interested!" Lu Wenshuang said coldly. She held her sword and stood still, not showing any intention of attacking.
Zhou Shu felt a little awkward. It was not easy to lead a team. Even if he got money, he wouldn't do it again.
"Grand Minister?" He could only look at Yin Wuyou.
Letting Yin Wuyou deal with these demonic beasts that were not even at the third rank was truly overkill.
But there was nothing he could do. If Yin Wuyou didn't make a move, would he have to take action personally?
It wasn't a big problem for him to make a move. Right now, his cultivation was at the sixth rank of the Martial Dao, just like Yin Chengshan's.
No one would suspect anything if he killed a few sixth-rank demonic beasts.
After all, he still had the Great Destroyer Sword ranked second in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.
"Okay, I'll do it." Yin Wuyou didn't refuse, but she didn't move.
She reached out and drew her sword, but there was nothing in her hand.
Swish!
A streak of sword qi crossed a distance of several meters, and a hole appeared in the chest of the demonic beast in front of Yin Chengshan.
At this moment, Yin Chengshan's Flaming Sunset Saber had just landed.
Swish
Yin Chengshan chopped off the demonic beast's head with a single slash.
Unfortunately, before his blade landed, the monster was already dead.
Yin Chengshan awkwardly turned around and grinned at Zhou Shu.
(The Shadow Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. The Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique has advanced (10 days added to the dream entry time)]!
A message flashed past Zhou Shu's eyes. "Take a third of this money," Zhou Shu shouted at Yin Chengshan.
Although it was Yin Wuyou who killed the demonic beast in the end, Yin Chengshan had also fought for half a day. He couldn't fight for nothing.
Yin Wuyou didn't have any objections. She didn't lack this bit of money to begin with, and she only acted to cooperate with Zhou Shu.
Seeing that the other challengers had no intention of asking for help, Zhou Shu shook his head regretfully. "These people don't know how to live. Why would they risk their lives for something solvable with money?
"Grand Minister, please help General Yin complete the mission. Deputy Envoy Lu, we will have to trouble you with our ten demonic beasts.
"I'm going to help General Chen." Zhou Shu's hands felt a little itchy. On Chen Ji's side, he had encountered quite a bit of resistance when he was escorting the challengers out of the valley alone.
After all, he couldn't keep killing enemies with one slash. He didn't have the cultivation level that Yin Wuyou had to sweep through the valley.
Lu Wenshuang didn't refuse this time and nodded.
She unsheathed her sword. After a flash of sword light, she had already killed ten demonic beasts. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Oh my god, why didn't we bring a grandmaster with us? The rest of the challengers cursed in their hearts. Great Xia is simply cheating!
"Old Shi, collect the useful materials and pass the checkpoint!"
Zhou Shu gave the order and drew his Great Destroyer Sword before charging toward Chen
Chapter 205 I Can't Afford To Mess with You, Zhou Shu Fixes A Star (1)
Boom!
The Great Destroyer Sword transformed into a shadow that was hard to see with the naked eye and heavily struck the chest of a demonic beast.
The demonic beast let out a blood-curdling scream as it was sent flying dozens of feet away and crashed to the ground, dead.
Lu Wenshuang looked at Zhou Shu in surprise, her brow slightly furrowed.
She knew that Zhou Shu's Martial Dao cultivation had broken through to the sixth rank. At the time, she had personally witnessed Zhou Shu's breakthrough. It was one thing for his spiritual essence cultivation to improve at lightning speed, but his Sword Dao cultivation also improved at lightning speed!
Lu Wenshuang watched Zhou Shu kill demonic beasts. Every move he made was simple and concise to the extreme. All of his attacks were perfectly executed without wasting any of his energy. Even if she made a move, she wouldn't be able to do what Zhou Shu was doing at his cultivation level.
Clang!
Zhou Shu sheathed his sword. He looked at the few demonic beasts he had killed and nodded in satisfaction.
He had spent almost 90% of his entire year fighting with demonic beasts when he became Wang Xin in his dream, and he had brought this battle experience back to reality.
When he was killing the demonic beasts earlier, he felt that he could handle them with ease.
They were both sixth-rank martial artists. But if Yin Chengshan fought a sixth-rank demonic beast, he would have to fight for half a day and might not be able to kill it.
But Zhou Shu only used three strikes to kill a sixth-rank demonic beast.
First, it was because his Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique had already reached perfection. Second, he was extremely familiar with demonic beasts because of his battle experience from that year.
This was like dissecting a cow with a butcher's cleaver[1]. The weaknesses of these demonic beasts were extremely clear in his eyes.
Yin Wuyou's figure was ethereal as she lightly landed beside Zhou Shu.
Yin Chengshan also ran over with large strides.
At this moment, all the challengers in the valley had already come over. There were only a few sparse demonic beasts left.
Large groups of Great Qin soldiers poured into the valley and very quickly killed the remaining demonic beasts.
The valley was full of the stench of blood.
Apart from Zhou Shu's team, most of the other challengers had injuries. But fortunately, no one died.
Only a few of them were heavily injured and looked like they would have to withdraw.
Everyone in Great Liang heaved a sigh of relief.
Luckily, they spent money…
They were the weakest among the nine nations. If not for Han Dazhi spending money decisively just now, they would have most likely been seriously injured.
Unlike now, where only a few people suffered minor injuries in the beginning.
Afterward, they didn't take any action at all. Right now, they were in the state of recharging their energy. They were in a much better state than the other nations' challengers.
The money was well spent!
Han Dazhi walked over to Zhou Shu and handed him a stack of banknotes with a smile.
"Marquis Zhou, please take care of me," he said with an earnest smile. "Sure." Zhou Shu took the banknotes and threw them to Chen Ji without even looking at them. "Great Xia and Great Liang have diplomatic relations. I'll give you a discount later."
"Thank you, Marquis." Han Dazhi laughed very happily.
The rest of the challengers looked at him with disdain.
This Great Liang guy is too shameless!
For a moment, some people cursed, while others regretted it.
If they had known earlier, they would have spent some money to ask Great Xia to help. In that case, they could have saved some spiritual essence.
In this great battle, their spiritual essence was nearly depleted. If they had to do a similar mission, it would be troublesome.
"The third checkpoint is over. Everyone may proceed to the fourth checkpoint!" the Great Qin general shouted.
This time, no one rushed forward like last time.
Last time, they ran so quickly because they were worried that Zhou Shu would rob them again.
In the end, they ran into a bunch of demonic beasts.
If they had arrived a little later, Great Xia would have killed most of the demonic beasts…
This time, they decided that they would definitely not enter the fourth checkpoint before Great Xia! Seeing all the challengers taking their time, Zhou Shu said indifferently, "Old Shi, have you cleared all the forging materials?"
"Yes," Shi Songtao muttered.
"Then stop dawdling. Let's go." Then Zou Shu used the Riding on Cloud and Wind Technique and headed forward.
Shi Songtao: "…"
You weren't anxious before. But this time, you're anxious?
It's one thing to be anxious. But how about you help out with the forging materials?
As soon as Zhou Shu left, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang had already followed him. Chen Ji and Yin Chengshan helped take a portion of the forging materials.
The remaining people were naturally Shi Songtao and the few other Forging Masters. Fortunately, although they were Forging Masters, they were still martial artists. Their combat abilities might not be good, but carrying a huge bag was not a problem…
The group from Great Xia quickly disappeared on the main road. The martial artists from the various nations looked at each other. They suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Was there something special up ahead?
This Zhou fellow was a little strange. No, they had to keep up!
"Marquis Zhou, wait for me. We're allies." Han Dazhi yelled as he led Great Liang's challengers to chase in the direction Zhou Shu's group disappeared.
No one noticed that after they left, the blood on the ground gradually seeped into the ground and disappeared.
By the time they reached the fourth checkpoint, the sky had already turned completely dark.
The venue set up by Great Qin was in the wilderness, so it was impossible to find an inn to stay in.
