Chapter 142: Divine Artifact, Killing a First-rank
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Shu felt a stabbing pain in his head. Lines of blood streamed down from
his eyes and ears.
The five mountains formed from his divine sense were sent flying back into
Zhou Shu’s mind by the massive rebound.
Meanwhile, the mirror was still floating steadily in the air.
Zhou Shu opened his eyes. He endured the splitting headache and looked in the
mirror.
For some reason, he felt that this mirror was somewhat similar to the
Heavenly Mirror that Shi Songtao had given him.
This thought disappeared in a flash.
Zhou Shu looked at the mirror and began to have a headache.
Now, there didn’t seem to be any danger here. The mirror hadn’t attacked him,
and there didn’t seem to be any enemies here.
But this mirror wouldn’t move no matter what. Even if he hit it, it wouldn’t
budge. What could he do to save the people in You Prefecture City?
What the hell is this stupid mirror! Zhou Shu cursed.
Originally, after defeating Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi, Zhou
Shu thought that he was already one of the top existences in this world.
He had a feeling that there was nothing in this world he couldn’t deal with,
nothing he couldn’t solve, nowhere he couldn’t go!
In the end..
He was hit in the head the moment he came.
A seemingly ordinary mirror was enough to render him helpless.
No, this damn mirror wasn’t ordinary at al..
Zhou Shu came in front of the mirror again.
He tentatively reached for the mirror.
When his palm was a few inches from the mirror, a surge of power sent his
hand flying
The force wasn’t too great, and it was impossible for it to injure Zhou Shu, but
it was extremely firm. Zhou Shu could clearly feel it. Keep your dirty hands
away. Don’t touch me!
His face darkened. A stupid mirror has emotions
Within the mirror, all of You Prefecture City was visible.
Zhou Shu saw the You Prefecture Amy that had entered You Prefecture City.
Thousands of You Prefecture Army soldiers were standing at the gates of the
city. They hadn’t even entered the city, yet they had already turned into
terracotta soldiers.
Many of these You Prefecture Army soldiers had unsheathed their weapons,
and their blades were stained with blood.
Evidently, a battle had taken place when they first arrived.
Then they were invaded by the black fog emitted by this broken mirror and lost
consclousness.
Having lost their consciousness, they were all stunned on the spot, and they
became like the terracotta soldiers.
Zhou shu frowned.
It should have been several days since the You Prefecture Army was trapped. In
their current state, it was impossible for them to eat or drink.
If they didn’t eat for a few days, they might be able to endure it. If they didn’t
drink water for a few days..
Zhou Shu was a bit worried. Could these soldiers have all died?
And the citizens of You Prefecture City, are they dead or alive?
Zhou Shu felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Although Yin Wuyou had the
cultivation of a grandmaster, she would at most be able to last a bit longer than
ordinary people. If she didn’t eat or drink, she would die sooner or later.
Zhou Shu continued to search in the mirror, trying to find Yin Wuyou and Sun
Gongping.
This mirror was like a satellite scanner, enveloping the entire You Prefecture
City within it, displaying everything in detail.
But Zhou Shu was unable to control the zoom. He could only widen his eyes
and use his vision to the limit to identify the sesame-sized figures.
It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
But Zhou Shu still did it.
He opened his eyes wide. After searching for god knows how long, he finally
saw a familiar figure in the southeast corner of the city.
“Grand Minister ” Zhou Shu muttered as his pupils suddenly contracted.
He widened his eyes and tried hard to see the scene in the mirror.
Subconsciously, his consciousness surged out and entered the mirror.
This time, he had no intention of attacking. He only wanted to see what was
happening within the mirror.
His divine sense was not hindered at all as it entered the mirror.
Zhou Shu felt the scene in the mirror rapidly draw closer. The city, houses, and
people were all within his line of sight, rapidly expanding
He finally saw Yin Wuyou’s appearance clearly!
At this moment, Yin Wiuyou’s face was pale, almost devoid of blood. She sat
with her back against a wall, her eyes tightly shut. If not for the faint rise and
fall of her chest, Zhou Shu would have thought she was dead.
Zhou Shu was somewhat anxious and was about to call out to her when he was
suddenly attracted by something else.
His divine sense followed his gaze, and Zhou Shu saw two words written in
blood on the ground beside Yin Wuyou’s hand.
The first word was Zhou.
Only part of the second word was written.
Zhou Shu felt a sharp pain in his heart. Was she trying to write my name? At
this point, she still wants to save me?
Zhou Shu felt as if someone had pinched his heart. It was so painful that he
almost couldn’t breathe.
“Who is it! Who injured you!”
Zhou Shu could clearly see that Yin Wuyou’s clothes were dyed red with blood.
If it was just the black fog from the mirror, she would not have vomited blood!
She must have met some enemy!
Zhou Shu’s eyes were red. He was unable to control his anger.
He quickly scanned his surroundings.
A few steps away, Sun Gongping was lying on his back with only the handle of
his Spring Enmbroidered Saber in his hand.
His chest was caved in, the rise and fall barely noticeable.
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth. Damn it!
No matter who injured them, they must die!
Zhou Shu continued to search. Not long after, he finally discovered something!
“Xiao Shunzhi!” Zhou Shu spat out each syllable.
He didn’t expect that Xiao Shunzhi had fled to You Prefecture instead of
returning to Great Wei!
In an instant, Zhou Shu understood the entire situation.
Xiao Shunzhi knew that there was something wrong with You Prefecture. He
was worried that I would continue to pursue him, so he didn’t dare to flee to
Great Wei. Instead, he fled to You Prefecture.
Ifl continued to chase after him, I would be attacked by the black fog the
moment I entered You Prefecture. At that time, I would naturally not have the
strength to continue chasing after him.
He stared at Xiao Shunzhi. Xiao Shunzhi was sitting cross-legged on the
ground and had golden light flickering on his body. At some point, his large
saber had returned to his hand.
He still had consciousness?
Zhou Shu could tell at a glance that Xiao Shunzhi had not completely lost
consciousness!
He was still circulating his spiritual essence to resist the invasion of the black
fog!
As expected of a first-rank martial artist!
The reason Zhou Shu had been able to cut off his arm previously was by
exchanging injuries with him and catching him off guard.
In terms of true strength, Xiao Shunzhi was not inferior to him.
“Thief, so you injured them!” Zhou Shu said murderously.
From the looks of it, Xiao Shunzhi had injured Yin Wuyou and Sun Gongping.
But because of the invasion of the black fog, he didn’t attack them further.
Zhou Shu rejoiced. Fortunately, there was the black fog. Otherwise, Yin Wuyou
and Sun Gongping would probably not have survived.
However, their current situation wasn’t good either. He had to rescue them as
Soon as poSsible!
If they can enter You Prefecture City, why can’t I? Could it be that aftera few
days, the mirror’s control over You Prefecture City has increased?
Zhou Shu frowned and guessed.
A mirror!
Whether it was physical attacks or divine sense attacks, they could do nothing
to this mirror.
Zhou Shu’s current methods were completely useless against it.
No, I have another idea! Zhou Shu suddenly thought. “Legendary Armament
Canon!”
The Legendary Armament Canon was not a weapon, nor did it possess any
offensive means.
But it was Zhou shu’s greatest trump card!
Even though he had no idea where the mirror came from, it could be classified
as a weapon.
Since it was a weapon, could it be recorded in the Legendary Amament Canon?
If he could find its forging method, would he be able to find its flaws and
destroy it?
Zhou Shu was a Forging Master. He didn’t believe that a weapon would be
flawless!
However, the Legendary Armament Canon didn’t have the ability to identify
weapons in the past, so he didn’t know if it would work!
As Zhou Shu thought this, he silently called out to the Legendary Armament
Canon.
The Legendary Armament Canon appeared in the air with his thoughts and
suddenly shone brightly.
At the same time, the mirror before him started to shine brightly. It was as if it
had received some sort of shock
A dense black aura spread out before it suddenly jumped.
That’s right. It jumped like a rabbit and disappeared into thin air as if it had
jumped into another dimension.
The Legendary Armament Canon rustled as it flipped to a blank page. The
words appeared on it.
“Divine artifact, Mirror of Retribution.”
It was as if it had been obstructed by something. This time, the words didn’t
continue to appear. Instead, the words that had already appeared disappeared
at a visible speed.
The page became blank once again. Then the Legendary Armament Canon
closed and disappeared.
Zhou Shu was somewhat stunned. What’s going on?
Was the mirror scared of?
Was it scared off by the Legendary Armament Canon?
This is definitely a pleasant surprise.
The mirror is called the Mirror of Retribution?
Divine artifact?
Are divine artifacts above heaven-grade weapons?
Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind. Just now, the Legendary
Armament Canon seemed to want to display the information about the Mirror
of Retribution. However, it seemed that it lacked strength, so it wasn’t able to
display it.
“Wait, Xiao Shunzhi!”
Zhou Shu returmed to his senses. Now was not the time to think about divine
artifacts. The Mirror of Retribution had run away, so You Prefecture City
should return to normal!
This time, he absolutely couldn’t let Xiao Shunzhi escape again!
Zhou Shu raised his head and discovered that he had unknowingly arrived at a
tower in You Prefecture City. It seemed that the Mirror of Retribution had
affected the You and Bing prefectures.
Without thinking, he identified the direction and ran in the direction he saw
Xiao Shunzhi in the mirror.
You Prefecture City, inside a residence
Xiao Shunzhi suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.
Irs gone! The feeling of being in vaded has actualy disappeared!
He didn’t know what had happened. But the next moment, his gaze fell onto
his empty right sleeve, and his expression instantly became slightly gloomy.
Damn it!
He had dominated the world for so many years, but he had failed miserably
nis time!
Ifl don’t take revenge, 1, Xiao Shunzhi, am not a man!
Luckily, my Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber was brought over by that little
constable. Hmph! 2hou Shu, just you wait!
Xiao Shunzhi snorted coldly.
“Wait? I don’t want to wait anymore! Xiao Shunzhi, prepare to die!” A loud
shout suddenly rang out as a dazzling sword light filled Xiao Shunzhi’s vision.
Xiao Shunzhi’s pupils suddenly contracted. He was greatly shocked.
He jumped up and used the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber with his left hand. He
poured the little spiritual essence left he had into the Blood Thirsty Rampant
Saber.
Rumble!
Loud explosions resounded non-stop, houses collapsed, and smoke and dust
surged.
Zhou Shu and Xiao Shunzhi reappeared.
Xiao Shunzhi was in a sorry state as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
In order to resist the invasion of the black fog, he had already used up most of
his spiritual essence.
Although Zhou Shu had also expended some of his energy, his Dragon Elephant
Prajna Technique gave him physical strength. This sword strike was weaker
than at his peak state, but it was still powerful.
In comparison, Xiao Shunzhi was injured again.
“Bastard, die!”
When he thought of Yin Wuyou, whose fate was unknown, Zhou Shu was
enraged. His aura rose by 30% as he unleashed the Astounding Heavenly
Eighteen Swords Technique, slashing toward Xiao Shunzhi.
Xiao Shunzhi was shocked and angry. In his peak state, he had even had an
arm chopped off by this person.
Now, he only had his left arm left, and his spiritual essence had been depleted
by more than half. Ho could he be his match?
Xiao Shunzhi shifted his gaze, looking for an opportunity to escape.
But how could Zhou Shu give him another chance?
“You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You are truly courting death!”
Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
The sword light expanded, and the sword qi of the Great Destroyer Sword was
activated. With a whoosh, the sword qi had already left numerous wounds on
Xiao Shunzhi’s body, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique had revealed its killing
power within five steps.
Xiao Shun was furious. “Zhou Shu, are you really going to fight to the death?”
“Fight to the death? Zhou Shu snorted coldly. “You’re not worthy!
The sword qi from the Great Destroyer Sword exploded, and Zhou Shu’s body
glowed with a golden light. It was as if he had turned into a golden statue as he
charged toward Xiao Shunzhi.
Xiao Shunzhi’s voice came to an abrupt halt when the Great Destroyer Sword
slashed down.
His head was already high in the air as a stream of blood gushed out like a
fountain.
An expert of his generation fell to Zhou shu’s sword just like that.
“Pu-” Zhou Shu spat out a mouthful of blood. He grimaced as he pulled out
the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber from his body.
Just a little more, and the tip of the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber would have
pierced through his body.
Even the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique couldn’t withstand
a desperate attack froma first-rank martial artist.
Fortunately, he was faster this time!
“Pui!”
Zhou Shu spat out a mouthful of blood. Old thief, how dare you hurt my
people? Do you think you can still live!?
Great Destroyer, you must be proud. Now, you will be able to stay at the top of
the Yellow-grade Armament Manual for a long time.
[The Great Destroyer Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. The
Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique has reached perfection!)
Strands of profound sword intent surged into Zhou Shu’s mind. In an instant, it
was as if he had practiced the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords
Technique for countless years. He knew all of the changes and concepts like the
back of his hand.
He was slightly stunned. It reached perfection all at once?
He didn’t expect that the reward he received last would be the fastest to reach
the perfection stage.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna “Technique from before had yet to reach
perfection.
The reward for killing a first-rank martial artist is so generous
The strength of the enemy would indeed affect the benefits from the
Legendary Armament Canon. But he didn’t expect that killinga first-rank
martial artist would allow the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords
Technique to reach perfection.
“Oh right, the grand minister!
Zhou Shu suddenly reacted and slapped his head. He couldn’t care less about
sensing the changes in his cultivation of the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen
Swords Technique. He activated his movement technique and ran toward Yin
Wuyou, even forgettingto bring the Blood ‘Thirsty Rampant Saber with him.
If the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber could speak, it would probably be crying
right now. It had already happened twice, and it had been abandoned twice. I
am a heaven-grade weapon, heaven grade!
