Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 1172
1172 Fearless Lunatics, The Fear of the Grotto-Heaven Masters (2)
“King Zhou! Do you really want to kill them all?!” A Grotto-Heaven Master pointed at the six Grotto-Heaven Masters trapped in the capital of Great Xia.
The six Grotto-Heaven Masters who had ambushed Zhou Shu with Shang Qiuzi were currently trapped in the capital of Great Xia, and they were in a dilemma.
When they heard what the Grotto-Heaven Masters who came to help said, their eyes lit up.
They had no fighting spirit at all now.
The seven of them had surrounded Zhou Shu and the others. But in the end, Zhou Shu had killed Shang Qiuzi, and there were only six of them left. If they really fought, a few of them might die.
This matter had been instigated by Shang Qiuzi. Now that Shang Qiuzi was dead, the others didn’t have much killing intent toward Zhou Shu.
They only wanted to escape unscathed. As for killing Zhou Shu, they no longer had any thoughts of doing so.
“Do you know what it means to the human race if we lose so many Grotto-Heaven Masters?”
There were initially five Grotto-Heaven Masters gathered outside the capital of Great Xia. Now, almost all the Grotto-Heaven Masters of the human race were alarmed.
Shang Qiuzi was already dead. If the six Grotto-Heaven Masters who were accomplices with him all died here, half of the Grotto-Heaven Masters of the human race would be gone!
This was definitely a world-shattering matter!
At that time, the human race would no longer have the power to keep the Demon Realm in check. After more than a hundred years, the human continent might be occupied by the Demon Realm again!
“Someone wants to kill me. Do I have to keep them alive?” Zhou Shu sneered.
Threatening him with the righteousness of the human race?
These people didn’t understand Zhou Shu.
“Don’t you six think so too?” Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on the six Grotto-Heaven Masters trapped in Great Xia’s capital.
The Qingqiu King, Yao Qing, Hu Li, and Emperor Xiang were all staring at them covetously.
As long as Zhou Shu gave the order, the four of them would attack without hesitation.
They hadn’t had their fill just now.
The six Grotto-Heaven Masters felt their bodies turn cold.
It had been a long time since they had felt this feeling after achieving success in their cultivation.
They knew more about Zhou Shu than outsiders.
Those outsiders might think that Zhou Shu didn’t have the ability to kill them all.
But being in the situation, they knew very well that Zhou Shu had the strength.
If he gave his all, the five of them could really kill the six of them!
However, the five of them might also pay a huge price. Once they died, it would be the end.
“King Zhou, we were wrong,” one of the six Grotto-Heaven Masters said in a low voice. “We are willing to compensate you according to the rules.”
“King Zhou, it’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive. There’s no deep hatred between us. Shang Qiuzi, the culprit, has already been killed. We are willing to make peace.”
As Grotto-Heaven Masters, saying such words was no different from begging for mercy in public.
“King Zhou, we are indeed at a disadvantage now, but to put it bluntly, if we risk our lives, at least half of you will accompany us on our way. Moreover, everyone in the capital of Great Xia will die as well,” the Grotto-Heaven Master continued.
Zhou Shu sneered and suddenly raised his voice. “Your Majesty, are the people of Great Xia afraid of death?”
His voice echoed in the sky above Great Xia’s capital.
“No!” Emperor Yuan Feng’s voice sounded. “Even if all the citizens of Great Xia die in battle, we will never bow down to the enemy!”
Shouts resounded in the city. Everyone was supporting Emperor Yuan Feng.
The Grotto-Heaven Master’s expression froze, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
If the people were not afraid of death, why should death be feared?
His threat was useless.
“King Zhou, that’s not what I meant,” the Grotto-Heaven Master explained anxiously.
“Cut the crap,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
He looked at the six Grotto-Heaven Masters. “In the past, I would have killed all of you if you dared to ambush me. But now that my disciple has returned, my heart has softened.”
He continued, “I’ll give you a chance to live. If you want to live…”
Zhou Shu’s eyes flashed coldly. “Hand over all your grotto-heavens. The six of you will become my subordinates from now on and listen to my orders at any time.”
“King Zhou, you want us to be your slaves?” The six Grotto-Heaven Masters looked angry.
“Impossible!”
As Grotto-Heavens Masters, lowering their heads and begging for mercy was already the limit they could accept.
How could they become slaves?!
In that case, they would rather die!
“Then die.” Zhou Shu didn’t waste any time. A towering aura rose from his body.
The Qingqiu King, Yao Qing, Hu Li, and Emperor Xiang also erupted with all their auras.
Even all the Great Xia martial artists in the city below erupted with their auras.
Balls of light erupted in the capital like stars illuminating the city.
These auras might be extremely weak to Grotto-Heaven Masters, but it was still an extremely shocking scene.
The entire capital of Great Xia had the intention to fight to the death!
Not to mention the six Grotto-Heaven Masters trapped in the city, even the few Grotto-Heaven Masters outside the capital were shocked.
They didn’t expect Zhou Shu and the people of Great Xia to be so united.
Didn’t they know that if they really killed the six Grotto-Heavens Masters, not only would there be countless casualties in the capital, but when the Demon Realm army attacked in the future, Great Xia would no longer exist?
Was it really worth it?
The Grotto-Heaven Masters outside the capital couldn’t understand.
They had already killed Shang Qiuzi and had the upper hand. Why were they still so unreasonable?
“You are not qualified to negotiate with me!” Zhou Shu pointed the Celestial Thearch Sword at the six Grotto-Heaven Masters. “From the day you stepped into the capital of Great Xia, your outcome was already decided.
“Let me tell you. This Great Xia, this world, is not a place where you can do whatever you want! Not everyone can be bullied and suppressed by you without daring to fight back.”
The sword qi made a sizzling sound in the air, as if it wanted to cut through space.
The six Grotto-Heaven Masters felt boundless killing intent.
They knew that Zhou Shu wasn’t joking. He really wanted to kill them.
“You’ve been riding roughshod for long enough. Today, either you die, or you tuck your tails between your legs and obediently offer your remaining value!” Zhou Shu shouted. “If you want to be high and mighty like before, don’t even think about it!”
Boom!
The auras of all the martial artists in Great Xia’s capital connected and broke through the light barrier sealing the city.
But although the light barrier had broken, the six Grotto-Heaven Masters still felt that there was no way to escape.
Even the other Grotto-Heaven Masters outside Great Xia had no intention of helping.
They didn’t dare to interfere. They were afraid that once they attacked, they would be greeted by a group of fearless lunatics.
They were also afraid that once they interfered, they would follow in the footsteps of those people.
The six Grotto-Heaven Masters felt bitter. Damn Shang Qiuzi!
They wished they could dig out Shang Qiuzi and whip his corpse!
If not for Shang Qiuzi, how could this have happened?
Shang Qiuzi had got them into deep trouble!
“King Zhou, if you insist on making us slaves, then we can only fight to the death,” a Grotto-Heaven Master said grimly. “But we don’t want to see these innocent people die because of this, nor do we want to see the human race fall into the flames of war again.”
Zhou Shu sneered.
The Grotto-Heaven Master didn’t feel embarrassed. They were already used to saying such boastful and righteous words. They even believed that they were really great heroes for the country and the people.
“In order to avoid the resurgence of war, we are willing to bow our heads,” the Grotto-Heaven Master continued.
“We are willing to serve under you for a thousand years, King Zhou, just like these people.
“We are also willing to open up our grotto-heavens to Great Xia and Great Wei. King Zhou, this is our greatest sincerity. For the sake of the human race, our reputation is no longer important!”
