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.
