Chapter 294 - Cat and Mouse, Rules of the Demon Realm (1)

[The Heaven Halberd you forged effectively completed a kill. The divine ability Unstoppable For a Thousand Miles has improved by 30%.]

[The Spring Embroidered Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form has improved by 10%.]

…

[The Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. You receive a Breakthrough Pill.]

Messages flashed before Zhou Shu’s eyes, and his aura fluctuated.

Shi Songtao was terrified that the colorful cocoon in his hand would explode.

But Zhou Shu’s expression was incomparably calm, as if nothing had changed. His hands were as steady as a mountain as he meticulously continued his movements.

Ever since the Legendary Armament Canon had first given him benefits, Zhou Shu had experienced it more than a hundred times.

In the beginning, his soaring cultivation would make him lose control.

But now, he was used to it.

Especially since he entered the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, he had been receiving benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon almost every moment. If he didn’t get used to it, he would be annoyed to death.

Now, unless the benefits were too great and exceeded the limits of his body, he could completely ignore them.

After mastering the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique, his body had long become tempered steel. The limit of his endurance was far beyond imagination.

Zhou Shu’s mind and movements were unaffected, but this didn’t mean that he was unaware.

Forget about the standard weapons. After all, the soldiers who had the standard weapons he had forged were scattered everywhere.

But there was only one Heavenly Halberd, and it was with Mei Wushang.

And Mei Wushang was in this camp at this moment!

The moment the Heavenly Halberd completed a kill, Zhou Shu understood that the camp was under attack.

His Great Destroyer Sword was halfway through its upgrade. He couldn’t stop it halfway, so he could only endure it and speed up the forging.

He prayed that Mei Wushang and the others would last a little longer.

He still didn’t know what went wrong. Why did Yao Qing attack ahead of time?

On the high walls of the camp, Mei Wushang waved his Heavenly Halberd and killed the demonic beasts approaching the city.

Beside him were several injured Great Xia soldiers.

But they were still fighting for their lives.

Under the walls were endless demonic beasts charging crazily.

If not for the iron-clad walls, these demonic beasts would have completely drowned Mei Wushang and the others.

Even now, they weren’t doing so well.

Yin Wuyou stood in the middle of the city wall. She held her sword against Yao Buqi’s throat with one hand and continuously slashed out sword lights with the other.

Even at this moment, she didn’t dare let go of Yao Buqi.

Once Yao Buqi escaped, the hundreds of demonic beasts in the camp would immediately rebel.

If they were attacked from both sides, they could only die.

Dozens of kilometers away, Yao Qing stood there with another humanoid demonic beast beside him.

The humanoid demonic beast was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his legs were surprisingly long. From afar, he looked like he was stepping on stilts.

The man was smiling sardonically.

“Yao Qing, is this the camp blocking your path?” the skinny humanoid demonic beast said with disdain. “You’re not deliberately going easy on them, are you?”

“What did you say?” Yao Qing’s face darkened.

“Yao Qing, I know you don’t get along with Yao Buqi. But this time, there are strict orders from above. We have to work together. Since you received Yao Buqi’s distress signal, why didn’t you save him?

“Are you trying to get someone else to do your dirty work?”

The skinny humanoid demonic beast stared at Yao Qing coldly.

“If I wanted to kill Yao Buqi, why would I need someone else’s help?” Yao Qing snorted. “Yao Ji, don’t judge me with your thoughts!”

The skinny humanoid demon beast, like Yao Qing and the others, was qualified to have the surname Yao. His name was Yao Ji.

“Then tell me. How did less than a hundred humans who aren’t even first-rank martial artists stop you?” A cold light flashed in Yao Ji’s eyes. “With these iron walls?”

“You should ask Yao Buqi how they managed to capture him alive,” Yao Qing said coldly, his eyes obscure.

He had never gotten along with the younger generation of the demon race.

Yao Ji was mocking him again.

He couldn’t be bothered to tell Yao Ji that there was an unbelievably strong expert in this camp.

Yao Qing felt a little strange. Why hasn’t Zhou Shu appeared yet?

Is he like me and pretending to be alright when he’s actually hurt?

Yao Qing’s eyes flickered as he sneered silently.

He wanted to see how that human would react after Yao Ji’s men slaughtered this camp.

If Yao Ji could probe the true strength of that human, it would be a good thing.

Yao Qing was not without his schemes.

Yao Ji rolled his eyes. Seeing that Yao Qing was silent, he was a little disappointed.

He deliberately mocked Yao Qing, not because he had nothing to do but because he wanted to probe for information about this camp.

He didn’t believe that Yao Qing had stayed behind because he wanted to save Yao Buqi.

If that was the case, he wouldn’t be here.

Wouldn’t it have been better to pretend not to have received Yao Buqi’s distress signal?

There had to be something going on that he didn’t know about.
