Chapter 351: Aren't You Ashamed of Your Fourth-Rank Cultivation? (2)
"How about you take care of the great demon then, Great General?"
"I don't have the ability!" Meng Bai said angrily.
He finally regained some of his Great Xia's God of War's composure and said seriously, "There's a great demon in the Demon Realm and more than ten first-rank martial artists…"
"Wrong." Zhou Shu shook his head. "More than a hundred first-rank demonic beasts have come from the Demon Realm this time. I've killed a few, but I don't know if anyone else has killed any. I estimate that there are no less than a hundred first-rank experts in the Demon Realm."
"A hundred first-rank martial artists?" Meng Bai frowned and looked at the others.
Including Meng Bai, there were only seven first-rank martial artists in the Great Xia army!
The number of first-rank experts in Great Xia should be considered high among the Ten Nations' armies.
Great Qin might have more, but not by much.
Even if there was an average of seven first-rank martial artists in each nation, it was only a total of 70 first-rank martial artists!
This was a difference of 30 first-rank martial artists compared to the Demon Realm!
Just these 30 first-rank martial artists were enough to make the Ten Nations' armies suffer. Moreover, the overall strength of the Demon Realm army was even above the Ten Nations' armies!
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
"If we can hold out for three years and then leave this world, the Demon Realm won't be able to do anything when this space closes," Luo Ling said softly.
They all rolled their eyes at him.
If it was that simple, why bother with the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?
Wasn't the purpose of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament to weaken the strength of the Demon Realm and relieve the pressure on the protective barrier outside the Ten Nations Continent?
Not to mention whether they could last until three years later, even if they really retreated then, what could they do?
If they couldn't weaken the strength of the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm might break through the barrier and invade the Ten Nations.
Even Meng Bai fell silent.
When armies fought, the weak never really defeated the strong.
Any victory was just luck and coincidence..
The so-called war depended on each other's strength.
The Ten Nations' armies were far inferior to the Demon Realm's army in every aspect. How could they fight this war?
"Three years is a long time. It's still too early to think about what will happen in three years," Zhou Shu said.
"Everyone, I came here mainly to discuss with you how to break out of this encirclement.
"Right now, we're fighting a protracted war, so we still have to conserve as much strength as possible.
"General Mi Ziwen will lead a thousand elite soldiers to coordinate outside. As for what you need to do, you're the experts.
"As for the dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts, I'll stop them."
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Before the great demon arrives, we have to break out successfully. Otherwise, I might not have the strength to stop the other first-rank martial artists of the Demon Realm."
Zhou Shu's presence should be the only good news Meng Bai and the others had heard.
The current situation diluted their excitement about obtaining the Cosmic Bangles.
Meng Bai came to the table and faced the simple map. He summoned everyone and began to discuss the breakout.
Zhou Shu was not interested in marching to war, so he simply walked out and arrived at Wang Xin's camp.
Although they were allies, Wang Xin hadn't merged with Meng Bai and the others. He was stationed on a hill opposite the Great Xia army camp with his thousand men.
They were on opposite sides.
"Greetings, Side-by-side King!"
As soon as Zhou Shu walked into the simple military camp, he heard the soldiers greet him.
Zhou Shu nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
"You wanted to see me, Your Highness?"
With the Overlord Spear on his back, Wang Xin looked extremely powerful.
He was even more burly than Mei Wushang and naturally domineering. He was a perfect match for this Overlord Spear.
"Wang Xin, let me ask you. Who is the commander of the Great Qin army this time?" Zhou Shu went straight to the point.
"It's my grandfather." Wang Xin didn't understand why he asked, but he still answered honestly.
"Wang Mu? How many first-rank martial artists are there in the Great Qin army?" Zhou Shu continued asking.
"First-rank martial artists?" Wang Xin thought for a moment. "I think there are eleven of them."
Eleven first-rank martial artists, Great Qin was indeed the strongest of the Ten Nations.
"What about second-rank martial artists?" Zhou Shu asked.
"Second-rank martial artists? I'm not too sure." Wang Xin said.
Who paid attention to these things?
Who would pay special attention to second-rank martial artists?
If Zhou Shu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.
What right did a fourth-rank martial artist have to criticize second-rank martial artists?
"Wang Xin, don't you think you're an embarrassment?" Zhou Shu suddenly changed the topic.
"I—" Wang Xin's eyes widened.?How am I an embarrassment?
Why did he attack me personally?
Even if you're the Side-by-side King, you can't spout nonsense!
"You're also the leader of the younger generation. My big brother, Mi Ziwen, is already a second-rank martial artist, and you're still a fourth-rank martial artist," Zhou Shu said with disdain. "If I were you, I would be too ashamed to go out and meet anyone."
Wang Xin: "…"
God damn it, how can you compare us like this?
Mi Ziwen is a few years older than me, okay?
Wait, didn't he just break through to the third rank?
How did he become a second-rank martial artist?
Could it be that he broke through again after the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament began?
In that case, I really can't compare to him…
"I'm already at the bottleneck of the third rank. It won't be long before I can break through to the third rank!
"In five years at most, I can also break through to the second rank! In twenty years, I can become a first-rank martial artist! Mi Ziwen might not be able to become a first-rank martial artist!" Wang Xin said confidently.
"Is that all you've got?" Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. "What a waste of my Overlord Spear!"
Wang Xin: "…"
The veins on his forehead bulged. If not for the fact that Zhou Shu was the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, he…
He didn't dare attack either…
Zhou Shu was an existence that could fight the Qin Emperor to a draw. No matter how arrogant Wang Xin was, he didn't think that he could fight Zhou Shu now.
If he did, wouldn't he be asking for a beating?
"It'll be too late if it takes you twenty years to become a first-rank martial artist," Zhou Shu said. "I thought you could make me worry less. I didn't expect that I would still have to worry about you."
Zhou Shu sighed repeatedly, making Wang Xin feel awkward.
Did you come here just to be sarcastic?
It's fine if you don't reward me with a Cosmic Bangle, but do you have to provoke me?
"I have an Essence Cleansing Pill here. It's an ancient divine medicine that has the effect of cleansing your essence and meridians. After consuming it, it can improve your physique and increase your cultivation speed.
"You got a good deal!"
He tossed it casually.
Wang Xin subconsciously caught it, and the resentment in his heart immediately dissipated.
Essence Cleansing Pill? Improve my physique and increase my cultivation speed?
Is there such a magical pill in the world?
For me?
Wang Xin was full of gratitude.?It turned out the reason His Highness didn't reward me with a Cosmic Bangle wasn't that he's biased but because he's prepared the Essence Cleansing Pill for me.
Compared to the Essence Cleansing Pill, the Cosmic Bangle is nothing!
"Your Highness, how can I accept this…" Wang Xin said nervously. This Essence Cleansing Pill was really too precious. He felt a little ashamed to accept it.
Although he called Zhou Shu a king, Wang Xin knew that this Side-by-side King had never benefited much from the Great Qin…
"I'm glad you know."
Zhou Shu said angrily, "If not for the grim situation on the battlefield and the fact that you're a promising talent, do you think I would have given you the Essence Cleansing Pill?
"Hurry up and swallow it, then work hard at cultivating. Aren't you ashamed of your fourth-rank cultivation?!
"Hurry up and become a Grandmaster. Then break the formation and kill the enemy. I gave you the Overlord Spear because I wanted to see you become a true formation breaking overlord!
Work hard. After killing ten thousand demon beasts, I will reward you with a Cosmic Bangle. If you can break through to the second rank in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, I'll give you other benefits
Chapter 352: Swearing To Kill a Million Demonic Beasts, Useless Escape Plan (1)
Just as Zhou Shu was about to walk out of the military camp with his hands behind his back…
Wang Xin suddenly fell to one knee with a thud.
He said loudly, "Your Highness, I, Wang Xin, swear to the heavens that I will never let you down! In this life, I will definitely kill a million demonic beasts to repay your kindness!"
The way Wang Xin addressed him was sincere. He was no longer as perfunctory as before.
"I'm not your father. I don't expect anything from you."
Without looking back, Zhou Shu stepped into the air and disappeared in the direction of the Great Xia army camp.
He was secretly pleased. Wang Xin was the most eligible worker.
He hadn't even said anything, but Wang Xin had already sworn to kill a million demonic beasts.
If he could really kill a million demonic beasts, his God of War Catalog should reach perfection.
He had forgotten to give him some encouragement. When the God of War Catalog reached perfection, he would help him upgrade the Overlord Spear.
The weapon had to be up to par with such a good worker.
Swoosh!
Something flew over. Wang Xin subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
It was a small porcelain bottle.
"There are five Essence Cleansing Pills inside. They should be enough for you. Before the battle begins, I want to see you become a grandmaster, Wang Xin."
Zhou Shu's voice came from afar. But this time, only Wang Xin could hear him.
Wang Xin's eyes suddenly turned red.
He clenched his jaw, refusing to allow the tears to fall from his eyes.
"I'll definitely do it!"
Without hesitation, Wang Xin popped all the Essence Cleansing Pills in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.
He didn't doubt Zhou Shu's words because with Zhou Shu's cultivation and status, there was no need to tease him. As for killing him, there was even less need.
There was no conflict between Great Xia and Great Qin. Moreover, this was the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield. What reason did he have to kill one of his own?
Furthermore, with Zhou Shu's cultivation, one finger was enough to kill him…
When the Essence Cleansing Pills entered his mouth, Wang Xin felt a special feeling surge into his heart. Then—
Then he followed in Deputy Pavilion Master Shi's footsteps…
Although the Essence Cleansing Pills were good, it wasn't appropriate to eat too many at once.
Unfortunately, no one told Wang Xin about the side effects.
Zhou Shu had already returned to the Great Xia military camp.
"Great General, have you come up with any strategy?" Zhou Shu asked. "Time waits for no one. If that great demon from the Demon Realm comes, things will be troublesome."
"I understand." Meng Bai nodded. "Do you smell something? Did someone from the Demon Realm poison the wind?"
Luo Ling and the others wrinkled their noses in agreement.
"Stop imagining things!" Zhou Shu, who had dug a hole for himself and had no choice but to shut his five senses, said angrily, "That's Wang Xin having diarrhea!"
Everyone looked at each other, their stomachs churning. This was too disgusting.
"As expected of someone from Great Qin. He's indeed extraordinary…" Luo Ling looked impressed.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes.?What the hell? You've never seen Deputy Pavilion Master Shi!
"Back to the topic at hand, Great General. After all this discussion, have you decided what to do?"
"If we're short of any supplies, I will think of something," Zhou Shu added, "I don't have any ranked weapons, but I have enough standard weapons."
There were also many forgers following the army this time. It was unknown how many of them were still alive in Meng Bai's army.
When they returned to the Huaxia Pavilion's Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, he would ask them to help refine the forging materials. Deputy Pavilion Master Shi could also relax a little…
"King of the South, I need to confirm something."
Meng Bai said solemnly, "Are you sure you can stop the dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts outside?
"The first-rank martial artists on our side must be used to suppress the second and third-rank martial artists in the Demon Realm army. Otherwise, even if we succeed in breaking out of the encirclement, the number of casualties is not something we're willing to accept.
"If it's like this, we have no way to support you, Your Highness.
"Your Highness, if you can't stop those dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts, then once they attack, it will be a disaster for the army."
They had been under siege for so long, so it was impossible that they hadn't thought of this.
But it was precisely because there were too many first-rank demonic beasts on the other side that they couldn't resist. Therefore, they had never dared to forcefully break through.
Fortunately, the Demon Realm army only surrounded them and didn't attack, giving them a chance to catch their breath.
What Meng Bai had been trying to do was to contact the Great Xia army that wasn't trapped within the encirclement and seek a chance to break out.
But before he could succeed, Zhou Shu came over.
Zhou Shu had easily walked through the encirclement that so many first-rank martial artists had failed to break through and even killed a first-rank humanoid demonic beast.
Meng Bai sometimes felt that his reputation as the Great Xia's God of War was really undeserved…
"Of course there's no problem," Zhou Shu said.
There were only a dozen or so first-rank martial artists. If he activated his invincible state, it would be a piece of cake to deal with them.
Of course, in the chaos, he couldn't activate his invincible state indiscriminately.
What if he was killed by a soldier when he was in a weakened state? Wouldn't he cry to death?
But Zhou Shu felt that it was still possible to restrain more than ten first-rank humanoid demonic beasts.
Wasn't it easy to scare people?
"By the way, as I said before, General Mi Ziwen will lead a thousand Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers to meet us outside."
Chapter 353: Swearing To Kill a Million Demonic Beasts, Useless Escape Plan (2)
Zhou Shu added, "One thousand Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers are wearing Dark Cloud Armor sets produced by the Huaxia Pavilion. It can defend against all attacks from martial artists below the fourth rank."
Zhou Shu thought for a moment. With a flip of his wrist, a Dark Cloud Armor set appeared in his hand. "This is it."
Everyone had already come into contact with the Cosmic Bangle, so they weren't surprised by Zhou Shu's action of taking something out of thin air.
Everyone's eyes fell on the Dark Cloud Armor in his hand.
Meng Bai reached out and took the Dark Cloud Armor. He sent out a stream of spiritual essence into it.
Clank!
There was a clanging sound.
Meng Bai no longer knew how to react. This Dark Cloud Armor could really defend against an attack from martial artists below the fourth rank.
"King of the South, you said that a thousand soldiers are equipped with this Dark Cloud Armor?" Meng Bai asked solemnly.
"I exaggerated a little." Zhou Shu smiled. "Less than a thousand. But in a few days, it should be enough."
Meng Bai: "…"
It seems he didn't have to be too surprised by anything when it came to the King of the South, Zhou Shu.
Still, it was surprising.
Forging armors was harder than weapons!
How long had it been?
He said that the Huaxia Pavilion had forged a thousand sets of Dark Cloud Armor?
Even the Great Xia's Forging Division would take a few years to forge a thousand such Dark Cloud Armor sets.
The premise was that they could forge the armor!
"A thousand elite soldiers in Dark Cloud Armor coming to receive us…" Meng Bai pondered. "In that case, there are even fewer problems!
"King of the South, so and so…"
Meng Bai told Zhou Shu their plans and arrangements.
Zhou Shu nodded. "Alright, we'll take action in three days.
"When the time comes, all you have to do is release these Cloud-Piercing Arrows. General Mi and I will act as planned."
Zhou Shu took out two Cloud-Piercing Arrows and handed them to Meng Bai.
"A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, thousands of troops come to meet.
"See you later, everyone."
Zhou Shu laughed and shot into the sky, turning into a beam of light that instantly disappeared.
It was as if the encirclement of the Demon Realm army didn't exist.
Looking at the disappearing afterimage in the air, the dozen or so first-rank humanoid demonic beasts had gloomy expressions.
"I can't stand it!" a humanoid demonic beast roared. "I must kill all these humans!"
"Have you forgotten Lord Yao Lian's orders?" A cold voice sounded. It was another humanoid demonic beast.
Everyone fell silent.
"Surround and not kill. What exactly is Lord Yao Lian trying to do?" a demonic beast muttered.
"Silence!" a humanoid demonic beast growled. "We just have to listen to Lord Yao Lian's decision."
"So what do you think we should do now? Which one of you was a match for that human?"
"No matter how strong he is, can he defeat us together?"
"Hmph, he might not be able to defeat us together, but someone has to die under his sword. Will it be you or me?"
The one who spoke was the humanoid demonic beast who had been injured by Zhou Shu's Hundred Steps Flying Sword.
The demonic beasts glared at each other and almost fought among themselves.
In the end, a humanoid demonic beast said, "If they want to break out, we'll just let them go.
"Lord Yao Lian's orders were only to surround but not kill. He didn't say where to surround the Great Xia army."
The eyes of the demonic beasts lit up. That's right. They could surround them anywhere.
If they wanted to break through, they could just let them go. At worst, they could surround them again.
"Shall we retreat first?" a demonic beast asked.
"Retreat." A humanoid demonic beast nodded.
"Yao Buqi was captured alive by the humans and embarrassed the Demon Realm. Also, Yao Qing and Yao Ji, these two pieces of trash, failed to save him and even got themselves killed!
"Lord Yao Lian asked us to keep the main force of the Great Xia army. Then let's save Yao Buqi first and destroy that Great Xia camp at the same time."
"Hmph, mere humans want to fight with our Demon Realm? They're courting death!"
The humanoid demonic beasts nodded.
There was a tough opponent here. Lord Yao Lian had ordered them not to kill Great Xia's main force, so it was better to save Yao Buqi first. Not only could they kill some humans to vent their anger, but they could also gain a favor.
In Meng Bai's military camp, he was drafting a plan to break out with a group of generals.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in. "Oh no, Great General!"
"What's wrong? Has the Demon Realm army attacked?" Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.
"No…" the soldier stammered. "The Demon Realm army is retreating!"
"Retreating?" Meng Bai and the others rushed out of the tent.
In the surrounding mountains and forests, countless demonic beasts were indeed retreating in batches.
Everyone looked at each other.
What happened?
You retreated as soon as we drew up our plan?
Wasn't that a waste of our time then?
"Do you think they were frightened by His Highness?" Luo Ling said softly.
A wry smile spread across their faces.
"Impossible." Meng Bai shook his head. "Although His Highness is strong, the Demon Realm army won't be scared off so easily.
"Something must have happened that we don't know ."
"So, what do we do now?" one of the generals asked. "Should we proceed as planned?"
They all looked at him as if he was an idiot. As planned?
The Demon Realm army besieging them had already retreated. There was no encirclement to break out of.
"His Highness didn't say anything just now about the location of the camp he built…" Luo Ling said.
"Let's wait." Meng Bai pondered. "His Highness went back to inform General Mi. He'll be back in three days.
"At that time, we'll just return to the camp with His Highness.
"The retreat of the Demon Realm army is strange. Pass down the order. Everyone, be vigilant. Don't let down your guard!"
…
On the other side, Zhou Shu used his divine ability Unstoppable For a Thousand Miles to return to the Huaxia Pavilion's Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch from Meng Bai's camp.
He was so fast that the dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts in the Demon Realm army couldn't even see which direction he was flying in.
Even Yao Qing and Yao Ji were defeated, but they thought that they would definitely be able to save Yao Buqi.
In their minds, perhaps they felt that they were much stronger than Yao Qing and Yao Ji.
"Second Brother…" Mi Ziwen blushed slightly when he saw Zhou Shu.
He had originally wanted to move with Zhou Shu so that he could help him if anything happened.
In the end, after taking the Essence Cleansing Pill, he had diarrhea for a long time.
He had just settled down when Zhou Shu returned.
Zhou Shu didn't discover anything and said directly, "I've discussed it with Great General Meng. In three days, the army will break out. We'll be in charge of receiving them.
"Big Brother, will there be any problems with your Hundred Wars Armored Army?"
"No problem!" Mi Ziwen said seriously. Although the process was not too wonderful, he had now discovered the effect of the Essence Cleansing Pill.
His entire body now felt light and agile. As he breathed, he felt that the spiritual qi of heaven and earth he absorbed was much more than before.
The Essence Cleansing Pill had indeed improved his physique!
Not only him, but the soldiers who had taken the Essence Cleansing Pills had also undergone earth-shattering changes. A few of them even directly broke through their cultivation levels!
Although the Essence Cleansing Pill itself wouldn't increase a martial artist's cultivation, it improved their physique. Some martial artists who were already on the verge of breaking through naturally broke through directly.
Now, Mi Ziwen's confidence was unprecedentedly strong.
He even felt that he could directly break through the encirclement of the Demon Realm army with the 1,000 Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers!
"Alright, I'll tell you about the great general's plan…" Zhou Shu continued.
He told Mi Ziwen about the breakout plan developed by Meng Bai and the others. Mi Ziwen thought for a moment and asked a few more questions. Then he went to arrange for the Hundred Wars Armored Army to get ready.
They would take action three days later, and they were 900 kilometers away from the battlefield.
The Hundred Wars Armored Army wasn't weak, but their speed was far from Zhou Shu's. They could only barely make it in three days.
Therefore, they had to act immediately.
Mi Ziwen went to prepare, and Zhou Shu was about to go to the storeroom to get some standard weapons when he suddenly heard Yin Wuyou's voice.
"Zhou Shu!"
"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Shu turned around and saw Yin Wuyou's slender figure walking over.
"Zhou Shu, can you save Little Senior Sister Lu?"Chapter 354: Women Don't Talk About Martial Ethics (1)
"Lu Wenshuang? What happened to her?" Zhou Shu looked at Yin Wuyou in confusion.
"Little Senior Sister Lu hasn't woken up yet," Yin Wuyou said. "Prince Cao has almost recovered. Why don't you use the same method to save Little Senior Sister Lu?"
Yin Wuyou pressed her palms together and placed them in front of her chest with a pleading expression.
Lu Wenshuang and Cao Chenyang had come to the camp together. Back then, Cao Chenyang's injuries looked even more serious than Lu Wenshuang's.
He had almost died.
Later, Zhou Shu saved Cao Chenyang. Not only did Cao Chenyang wake up, but his injuries were also quickly recovering.
Now, Yin Wuyou often saw Cao Chenyang in the camp. Cao Chenyang had more or less made a full recovery.
As for Lu Wenshuang, she was still unconscious, and her injuries hadn't improved.
Yin Wuyou was worried, so she came to find Zhou Shu.
"Have her injuries worsened?" Zhou Shu asked.
He hadn't used a normal method to save Cao Chenyang. Cao Chenyang was able to recover mostly by himself.
If this happened again, Zhou Shu couldn't guarantee that it would be useful.
"Her condition is very bad," Yin Wuyou said. "Over the past few days, Little Senior Sister Lu's spiritual essence has been dissipating. If this continues, I'm afraid that she will die the day her spiritual essence dissipates completely."
"Her spiritual essence is dissipating?" Zhou Shu frowned. "Don't worry. Let's go take a look."
She followed Yin Wuyou to a stone house. Lu Wenshuang lay on her back on a stone bed, her breathing faint.
Her face was deathly pale. She was as quiet and beautiful as a water lily.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Shu felt faint spiritual essence fluctuations emanating from Lu Wenshuang's body.
Lu Wenshuang was originally a slender woman. Now that she was lying there, and the spiritual essence in her body was still dissipating, it made her look even weaker.
Zhou Shu came to her side and held her wrist, taking her pulse.
Zhou Shu didn't know anything about medicine, so he naturally knew nothing about taking pulses.
But he was not taking advantage of the situation. A stream of spiritual essence surged out from his fingertip and entered Lu Wenshuang's body through her wrist.
Seeing Zhou Shu's actions, Yin Wuyou held her breath, afraid that she would disturb him.
A moment later, Zhou Shu retracted his finger, and his expression turned grave.
"Why did this happen?" Zhou Shu said in a low voice. "The meridians in her body seem to have turned into sieves. Her spiritual essence can't be retained at all.
"This shouldn't happen."
Zhou Shu frowned and pondered. "My Breakthrough Pill can defy all conditions and directly increase a person's cultivation by one level.
"Lu Wenshuang should have been a second-rank martial artist before. After taking the Breakthrough Pill, she should have already broken through to the first rank. From the second rank to the first rank, she would be reborn. No matter how serious her injuries are, theoretically, they can be healed.
"Great General Meng could even recover from his decades-old injuries, so she shouldn't be an exception."
Zhou Shu knew nothing about medicine, so he couldn't say anything about Lu Wenshuang's situation.
Yin Wuyou hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Perhaps it's because Little Senior Sister Lu used a forbidden technique…"
"Forbidden technique?" Zhou Shu looked at Yin Wuyou in confusion.
He suddenly remembered that Yin Wuyou had always called Lu Wenshuang senior sister. The two of them seemed to be from the same sect.
But he had never found out who their master was.
The two most talented women in Great Xia had actually become disciples of the same person. Their master must not be an ordinary person.
Not only were Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang talented, but their identities were also extraordinary.
One was the princess of Great Xia, and the other was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family. They didn't lack Martial Dao inheritances.
However, Emperor Yuan Feng and the Lu family actually let them acknowledge an outsider as their master. From this, it could be seen that the person they acknowledged as their master was definitely not an ordinary expert.
"Zhou Shu, you know that Little Senior Sister Lu and I are from the same sect. Our sect has a forbidden technique called All Swords As One."
"All Swords As One?" Zhou Shu was puzzled. This move didn't sound like much.
"Yeah." Yin Wuyou nodded solemnly. "This move can transform all the sword qi in your body into one. When attacking, the sword qi will injure yourself before injuring others. This sword qi is too sharp. Ordinary people's meridians can't withstand it at all. While releasing this sword qi, you will also pay a huge price.
"That's why it's a forbidden move."
Zhou Shu was deep in thought. He roughly understood what Yin Wuyou meant. If he condensed all the sword qi he had cultivated into one, his meridians wouldn't be able to withstand it because it was too powerful.
"You're saying that Lu Wenshuang's meridians were injured by her own sword qi, and even the physical changes brought about by her cultivation advancement can't heal such injuries?" Zhou Shu said.
Their master's sword technique was really powerful.
Yin Wuyou nodded. "Can you use the method of saving Cao Chenyang to save Little Senior Sister Lu?
"When I was young, Little Senior Sister Lu took good care of me."
Yin Wuyou begged, "If you can save Little Senior Sister Lu, I'll do anything!"
Zhou Shu turned around and sized up Yin Wuyou. Her curvaceous figure made his heart heat up.
Oh, Grand Minister, don't you know that a woman can't just say such things to anyone?
Chapter 355: Women Don't Talk About Martial Ethics (2)
Clearly, Yin Wuyou wasn't thinking in that direction. She was just worried about Lu Wenshuang.
"Grand Minister, you've already begged me. If I can save her, I will." Zhou Shu pondered. "But I have something to say first. I can't guarantee that it will be useful."
"I understand." Yin Wuyou nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Whether it works or not, I'll remember your kindness!"
Zhou Shu's mood fluctuated again.?Women really affect the speed at which I draw my sword…
"There's no hurry. I need to make some preparations. Let me know when Yang Hong returns."
"Yang Hong? He's in the camp now?" Yin Wuyou didn't understand.
"He's in the camp? No problem then."
Then Zhou Shu walked to Lu Wenshuang's side and pointed a finger between her eyebrows.
Lu Wenshuang groaned as blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Little Senior Sister Lu!" Yin Wuyou exclaimed.
"That's none of my business," Zhou Shu said innocently.
…
Inside the camp, Yang Hong was beaming with joy. There was also a group of soldiers surrounding him.
"In the blink of an eye, when I did a slide tackle…" He gesticulated wildly while speaking. "That sixth-rank demonic beast was cut open by me with just one slash!"
Speaking excitedly, Yang Hong even showed off his strength. He stepped on the ground, and the ground shook slightly. He rose into the air and used the Mo Mei Sword to make a posture of splitting a mountain.
In the air, Yang Hong suddenly felt the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique in his body disappear.
He stumbled, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.
The crowd looked at each other and burst into laughter.
…
"Little Senior Sister Lu, you're awake?"
In the stone house, Yin Wuyou was surprised to see Lu Wenshuang open her eyes.
She reached out, grabbed Zhou Shu's arm, and jumped up and down.
"Zhou Shu, you did it. You really did it!" Yin Wuyou almost hugged Zhou Shu's arm.
When Zhou Shu felt the warmth and fragrance, his face turned slightly red.
He looked at Lu Wenshuang calmly and said, "Miss Lu, you're seriously injured. Don't speak first, and listen to me."
Lu Wenshuang blinked and wanted to move, but she let out a muffled groan, and blood dripped out the corners of her mouth again.
Countless scenes seemed to flash across her pupils, and then her face revealed a very calm expression.
"I used a secret technique to share one of my cultivation techniques with you. In a few days, you will forget the cultivation technique. Now, all you have to do is try to heal yourself."
With that, Zhou Shu left space for the two of them and left the stone house.
As soon as he left, Lu Wenshuang looked at Yin Wuyou and said in a low voice, "Bring me a brush and paper. I'll speak, and you'll write it down!"
"Little Senior Sister Lu, what are you trying to do? You have to hurry up and heal yourself," Yin Wuyou said in confusion. "Zhou Shu said that his secret technique can only last for a period of time. After that, you will forget it. At that time, how will you heal?"
"I know." Lu Wenshuang almost used all her strength to speak. "That's exactly why I'm going to write it down!"
"You…" Yin Wuyou's mouth widened in shock. "You want to secretly learn Zhou Shu's cultivation technique?
"No, you can't do that!" Yin Wuyou said firmly.
"Little Senior Sister Lu, Zhou Shu shared his cultivation technique with you to save you. He asked you to use it to heal your injuries. You can't do this!"
Yin Wuyou stared at Lu Wenshuang and said seriously, "I definitely won't agree!"
"You…" Lu Wenshuang coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
She tried to get up but fell back.
"I'm not secretly learning his technique!" Lu Wenshuang said through gritted teeth. "I'll acknowledge him as my master. I'll even agree to any request he has! But I must learn this God of War Catalog!
"Even if I become a servant from now on, I won't let go of this opportunity."
Lu Wenshuang bit her lip. "If you don't help me, I'll do it myself."
She struggled to raise her head. Using her finger as a brush and her blood as ink, she began to record the God of War Catalog in her mind!
Yin Wuyou's expression was extremely conflicted. She wanted to interrupt Lu Wenshuang a few times, but she was afraid of hurting her.
"Little Senior Sister Lu, how can you do this? How can I face Zhou Shu like this? I was the one who begged him to save you." Yin Wuyou stomped her feet anxiously.
"I'll pay what I owe him. You don't need to do anything," Lu Wenshuang said without looking up.
…
Zhou Shu, who had left the stone house, didn't expect Lu Wenshuang to be so unethical!
Come to think of it, he hadn't really thought about it.
His divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence could share half of a cultivation technique with others. After the effect wore off, the other person would forget everything about the cultivation technique.
But they could record the cultivation technique within the time limit.
This was the biggest problem with this divine ability.
Of course, Zhou Shu had always been very cautious when using this divine ability. The targets of this divine ability were basically all trustworthy.
No one had ever tried to record a cultivation technique within the duration of the divine ability.
Therefore, even Zhou Shu had never thought about this.
He had never worried that his cultivation techniques would be leaked.
Actually, even if Zhou Shu thought of this, he wouldn't care too much.
Apart from sword techniques and saber techniques, he had mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, the Golden Bell Shield Technique, the God of War Catalog, and the Iron Smelting Hands Technique.
None of them were easy to cultivate.
If he didn't cheat, even an extremely talented person might not be able to master one of them in their entire life.
Therefore, he wasn't afraid that others would learn his cultivation techniques.
Could others learn them? Even if they could, could they cultivate to Zhou Shu's level?
Didn't he sell the Iron Smelting Hands Technique to the Great Qin? Even with the Great Qin's strength, they couldn't find anyone who could master it.
If it was someone he could trust, Zhou Shu didn't mind teaching them some cultivation techniques.
The premise was that Zhou Shu had given it himself.
If he didn't give it to them, no one could snatch it from him, not even someone as strong as the Great Qin.
Lu Wenshuang was the same.
Lu Wenshuang didn't know that she had already crossed Zhou Shu's bottom line. She was still shocked by the God of War Catalog.
Her plan was to truly learn the God of War Catalog no matter the cost.
This was the supreme cultivation technique she had dreamed of!
For this, she was willing to pay any price, even if she had to give her body to Zhou Shu!
…
"Ready, Big Brother?"
On the drill ground of the camp, Zhou Shu saw Mi Ziwen, who was ready to go.
"Ready. We can go any time," Mi Ziwen said solemnly.
"Good. Then let's get moving. We'll pick up the great general and the others and bring them back."
Zhou Shu waved his arm.
The army leaped out. Before Zhou Shu followed, he shouted, "Deputy Pavilion Master!"
Shi Songtao appeared at lightning speed. Judging by his speed, although the process of swallowing the Essence Cleansing Pills was not pleasant, he had obtained a lot of benefits.
"Pavilion Master, what are your orders?" Shi Songtao said with a fawning smile.
He knew very well how heaven-defying the pills Zhou Shu had given him were.
He had hated Zhou Shu and even cursed him in his heart.
Now, he regretted it.?His Highness treats me like a national scholar, and I will repay him!
"General Mi and I will fetch Great General Meng's army back," Zhou Shu said. "They have more than ten thousand people. Our camp might be a little small. Take those demonic beast miners and expand the camp.
"Let's expand it ten times first."
In any case, this space didn't belong to anyone. Anyone could rule it.
"Count on me!" Shi Songtao patted his chest. "Your Highness, when you return, you will definitely see a brand new camp. If I can't complete the mission, I'll send you my head!"
