Chapter 387: The Lingering Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber (2)
Seeing Yao Qing, Zhou Shu went straight to the point. “Yao Qing, tell me, where did you get this weapon fragment?”
“I broke it myself,” Yao Qing said in a deep voice. “King of the South, how many moves do you think I can get with this?”
“Are you negotiating with me?” Zhou Shu’s eyes turned cold.
“Just a fair trade,” Yao Qing said seriously. “King of the South, trading ores is a transaction. This information is not in our agreement, so of course we need to renegotiate.”
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Qing. Although Yao Qing felt a little scared, he still raised his head and looked straight into Zhou Shu’s eyes.
Suddenly, Zhou Shu laughed. “Yao Qing, oh, Yao Qing. As expected of someone with half a human bloodline, this bargaining ability already has some essence of the human race.”
Yao Qing’s expression darkened. He hated hearing others say that he was half-human and half-demon!
But the person in front of him was a ruthless person who could even capture Lord Yao Lian alive. Yao Qing knew his limits and knew that even if he risked his life, he wouldn’t be a match for him.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yao Qing said in a deep voice, “The King of the South, if you feel that this information is worthless, then forget it. I’ll just look for ores again.”
After learning that Zhou Shu had captured Yao Lian alive, Yao Qing became even more interested in learning Zhou Shu’s saber technique.
…
If he could learn saber techniques from such a ruthless person, wouldn’t his chances of defeating Yao Wudi in the future be much higher?
It was precisely because of this that Yao Qing came to trade with Zhou Shu proactively.
As for whether he had betrayed the Demon Realm, at least Yao Qing didn’t think he did.
“Bring me the owner of this saber. I will teach you five moves of the saber technique.” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Qing.
“I can’t bring him.” Yao Qing shook his head. “The saber is shattered. Can he still be alive?
“I thought that those qualified to have heaven-grade weapons were all human experts, so I used a little more force. Who knew that this person was so weak that he and even his weapon were shattered by me with one move.”
Yao Qing said it casually, but he was shocked at the time. Even he didn’t dare to be careless against a human expert with a heaven-grade weapon.
At the time, he had directly unleashed his full strength. In the end—
In the end, with just one move, the saber shattered and the person died…
“He’s dead, and you’re trying to negotiate with me with a piece of the blade?” Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
“Of course not,” Yao Qing said. “The owner of this saber is dead, but there are others alive.”
Yao Qing pointed at the shattered saber on the floor. “This person wasn’t alone. He had many accomplices.”
“I didn’t know you had such a mind, Yao Qing.” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Qing in a new light. “Five moves of the Heavenly Saber Art. Deal!”
…
A moment later, Yao Qing left, satisfied. Shi Songtao was full of doubts. He looked at Zhou Shu curiously.
“Pavilion Master, what does Yao Qing mean?” Shi Songtao couldn’t help asking.
Zhou Shu shook his head. “Go get Great General Meng for me. Also, get the grand minister and Lu Wenshuang.”
Mi Ziwen had brought the Hundred Wars Armored Army out of the camp. Only Meng Bai and Yin Wuyou were still in the camp.
But they were enough.
Zhou Shu pondered.
After Meng Bai, Yin Wuyou, and the others arrived, Zhou Shu didn’t waste any time and said, “Grand General, Grand Minister, I found traces of the Great Wei army.”
“Great Wei!” Meng Bai’s expression changed slightly. “Are you sure?”
Zhou Shu understood what Meng Bai meant and nodded. “Yes.”
The Great Wei army was not completely wiped out. They could confirm this now!
Last time, when Zhou Shu led his troops to slaughter the 5,000 Great Wei soldiers, they were already certain that the news of Great Wei being completely wiped out was fake.
But now that they had further confirmed it, they sighed in their hearts.
Sun Gongping was the one who had brought back the news that Great Wei was completely wiped out.
As for Sun Gongping, he was a young marquis of Great Xia…
“Your Highness, why did Great Wei deliberately spread the news that they were completely wiped out?” Meng Bai frowned.
Although he was unwilling to believe that Sun Gongping was colluding with Great Wei, it now seemed that the news of Great Wei’s annihilation was very likely deliberately released by Great Wei.
But after thinking about it, he couldn’t figure out why Great Wei released this news.
Bluffing the armies of the various countries and then ambushing them from behind?
This didn’t seem to require spreading such news.
“I don’t know.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “But there’s something.”
Zhou Shu pointed at the remnants of the weapon on the floor. “Do you know what this is?”
Meng Bai, Yin Wuyou, and the others looked over. Meng Bai even picked up a fragment and placed it on his palm to observe.
The saber remains that Yao Qing had brought were not big to begin with. In addition, in a moment of anger, Zhou Shu crushed them even more.
Meng Bai looked at the weapon fragments for a while but couldn’t see anything from them.
“These are fragments of the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber,” Zhou Shu said.
“Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber?” Meng Bai was stunned. “Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi’s Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber?”
“That’s right.” Zhou Shu nodded. He had fought Xiao Shunzhi several times and had even personally killed him twice. He was naturally extremely familiar with the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber.
He didn’t expect that bastard Xiao Shunzhi to still be around. He had not died completely!
If Yao Qing hadn’t killed him again, Zhou Shu really wanted to capture Xiao Shunzhi and ask him how he had been revived.
“Isn’t Xiao Shunzhi already dead? Who has his Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber?” Meng Bai asked instinctively.
“Not in anyone’s hands. Xiao Shunzhi is alive, again.” Zhou Shu shook his head and didn’t hide anything. “Back in You Prefecture, Xiao Shunzhi was killed once. Then outside Hangu Pass, he was killed by me again with the Shadow Sword.
“Counting this time, he must have died three times.
“It’s hard to say if he’ll show up again.”
“Died… three times?” Meng Bai was shocked. If he didn’t know Zhou Shu’s character, he would have thought that Zhou Shu was lying to him.
“Could it be that he didn’t die before and was only seriously injured?” Meng Bai asked tentatively.
“No.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “There’s no way someone I killed will still be alive.”
The Legendary Armament Canon had already given him the kill reward, so how could he not be dead?
“I now suspect that Great Wei has some kind of method that can bring people back from the dead. But the cultivation of those who come back from the dead seems to drop. Xiao Shunzhi, who attacked the grand minister outside Hangu Pass, was only a second-rank martial artist. This time, his cultivation was even lower, only a third-rank martial artist.” Zhou Shu said.
“To bring someone back from the dead, how is that possible?” Meng Bai gasped. “Your Highness, if what you say is true, could it be that Sun Gongping didn’t lie? Did he really see Great Wei wiped out, but Great Wei’s army came back from the dead?”
“Not likely,” Zhou Shu said. “Although I don’t know how Great Wei did it, there must be a price to pay for this kind of resurrection. I don’t think Great Wei can resurrect tens of thousands of people.”
If Great Wei had this ability, wouldn’t it be equivalent to them having tens of thousands of immortal troops?
Then, wouldn’t they be invincible?
“Great General, I’m not telling you this to worry you,” Zhou Shu said. “So what if Great Wei has this method? Xiao Shunzhi has died three times. If he comes back to life, his cultivation will at most be at the fourth rank. We can easily crush him again.
“I called you here because I wanted you to take this trip with me.”
Zhou Shu looked at them. “Even if everyone in Great Wei can come back from the dead, we can kill them until they don’t dare to come back to life.”
“Just the few of us?”
Meng Bai and the others had no objections to killing traitors of the human race. But since Great Wei had so many tricks up their sleeves, they had definitely maintained their strength. Now that the Hundred Wars Armored Army was not around, would the few of them be enough…
“Just the few of us is enough.” Zhou Shu patted the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword. “With the Great Destroyer Sword and your Mountain Suppressing Sword, I’m already treating them with enough respect.”
