In Great Qin’s capital, the Qin emperor sat expressionlessly on the dragon throne.

Below, the ministers stood with their heads lowered.

A middle-aged man in armor stepped forward and said solemnly, “Your Majesty, I request to lead an army to kill this man!”

“Lead an army? An army of ten thousand or twenty thousand?” the Qin emperor said coldly. “Even if you do not find it embarrassing, I do!”

The Qin emperor snorted.

“The other party came alone, and our Great Qin wants to use an army?”

The Qin emperor narrowed his eyes, “When did my Great Qin fall to such a state?”

The ministers below were silent.

The Qin emperor’s eyes were cold as he swept his gaze across the ministers. “In just a few days, from Hangu Pass to Jiuyuan County, he defeated six of our Great Qin experts in a row, but he has not suffered any injuries.

“This is Great Qin, the so-called strongest nation in the world!”

The Qin emperor slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne.

“Your Majesty, it is not that our Great Qin doesn’t have any experts who can defeat him, but his whereabouts are uncertain. Our experts are scattered everywhere—” one of the ministers couldn’t help saying.

The Qin emperor snorted. “Hmph, if you can’t do it, let me do it!

“Pass down the order that the army is not to move. There is no need to use any schemes. I want to see him when he comes to see me!”

A visible vortex erupted from the Qin emperor’s body. His aura was so strong that the ministers couldn’t help lowering their heads.

…

Outside Hangu Pass, the Great Xia diplomatic mission was not far away.

Meng Bai, Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, and the others all looked at Shi Songtao.

As the deputy envoy of the Great Xia diplomatic mission, this was the first time Shi Songtao had such a presence.

Now, the entire diplomatic mission was watching him.

All of this wasn’t because of him, but because of the Heavenly Mirror in his hand!

“Has the Yellow-grade Armament Manual changed?” Yin Wuyou said impatiently.

Shi Songtao sighed in his heart. He took out the Heavenly Mirror and activated it with his spiritual essence.

Yellow-grade Armament Manual, first, Great Destroyer Sword!

Achievement: Severed Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi’s right arm; Defeated Great Qin’s first-rank expert Zhuo Donglai; Defeated Great Qin’s first-rank expert Gao Shun; …

The names of the first-rank experts were shocking.

On the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, the top-ranked yellow-grade weapons would have their battle results.

But not all the results would be recorded.

Only the commendable achievements would appear on the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.

Otherwise, the Yellow-grade Armament Manual wouldn’t be able to show the names of all the killed people.

Seeing the Great Destroyer Sword’s achievements continue to increase, everyone was finally certain that Zhou Shu had really returned to the Great Qin.

Not only had he returned to Great Qin, but he was also constantly challenging the first-rank experts of Great Qin.

Although no one knew how he did it, with this battle record in front of them, they had to believe it even if they didn’t.

“Great General, we have to go get him. We have to!” Yin Wuyou said anxiously.

Mong Bai shook his head. “No.

“If we go back to Great Qin now, not only will we not be able to help him, but we will also drag him down.

“The battle results of the Great Destroyer Sword are changing every day, which means that Zhou Shu is fine.

“It’s already been so many days, but he can still continue to challenge the first-rank experts of Great Qin. This means that Great Qin hasn’t used its army to surround him.

“With the Qin emperor’s arrogance, he shouldn’t bully Zhou Shu with numbers. If it’s just one-on-one, even if Zhou Shu loses, his life might not be in danger.

“We’d better wait and see. If he’s really defeated, we can still step in and negotiate with Great Qin.”

Meng Bai said solemnly, “If we attack Great Qin now, it will be equivalent to a war between the two nations. That way, it will be even more dangerous for Zhou Shu.”

Yin Wuyou was on the verge of tears. She could understand the logic, but she was still worried.

…

Compared to the others, Zhou Shu was in a relaxed mood.

Ever since he barged into Hangu Pass that day, he had been heading toward Great Qin’s capital.

Initially, he was prepared to start a massacre. But he didn’t encounter any army along the way.

However, every time he walked for a while, he would encounter an expert blocking his way.

Since Great Qin didn’t send out an army, Zhou Shu naturally wouldn’t kill his way into any cities.

As for the experts blocking the way, it was very simple. He just had to defeat them.

He had already reached perfection in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique. His attainments in the Heavenly Saber Art had also reached an unbelievable level.

Not to mention, he had reached perfection in the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique.

With his current strength, he could defeat ordinary first-rank martial artists without even using his full strength.

Zhou Shu didn’t feel proud or excited at all after defeating six first-rank martial artists in a row.

Instead, he felt some regret.

It was unknown what these Great Qin experts were thinking. When they fought, they wished they could fight to the death. But after being defeated, they simply retreated.

Zhou Shu couldn’t even find an excuse to start a massacre.

It wasn’t bad to defeat six first-rank martial arts experts, but he didn’t even kill one.

After entering Hangu Pass, there was no response from the Legendary Armament Canon.

What the hell is Great Qin doing? Don’t they know that I’m here to cause trouble?

He walked straight into one of the gates. The soldiers guarding it seemed not to see him.

It wasn’t the first time this had happened.
