Chapter 384: Compromise of the Demon Realm, Earth-Grade Great Destroyer Sword (1)
“A million kilograms of ore?” Even Yao Lian, who was full of anger and killing intent, was stunned by what Zhou Shu said.
You’re talking to me about ore at this moment?
Yao Lian’s eyes were murderous as he said coldly, “What do you mean?”
“You’re not a fool, are you?” Zhou Shu gave him a sympathetic look. “Yao Buqi, you tell him.”
Zhou Shu couldn’t be bothered to explain too much to him.
Yao Buqi flinched, but he still carefully explained the situation to Yao Lian.
Yao Lian’s eyes widened. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to be about to collapse the entire house.
If not for the fact that his spiritual essence had been scattered and his limbs had been broken, he would have jumped up and fought Zhou Shu to the death.
“You want me to be your slave?!” Yao Lian roared. “In your dreams!
“I, Yao Lian, have been defeated by you today. You can kill or torture me as you please. If I beg for mercy, I’ll be your grandson!”
“I don’t have a grandson your age.” Zhou Shu sneered. “Yao Buqi, tell him what will happen if he disobeys.”
Zhou Shu walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, not worried that Yao Lian would escape.
A moment later, roars came from the room.
......
After an hour, Zhou Shu returned to the room. “Have you thought it through?”
In the room, Yao Lian had already sat up cross-legged. Yao Buqi, on the other hand, was squatting in a corner with his neck hunched.
Zhou Shu didn’t care how Yao Buqi had communicated to Yao Lian. He looked at Yao Lian.
The physique of a great demon was indeed incomparably powerful. His limbs had been broken, but he had actually reconnected them so quickly.
Zhou Shu didn’t pay too much attention to it. So what if his limbs were reconnected? Even if Yao Lian recovered his cultivation, it would only take one punch. If one punch wasn’t enough, he would punch him twice. Would he be able to do anything about it?
“How can I trust you?” Yao Lian breathed heavily with shame in his eyes.
To think that he, Yao Lian, would one day negotiate with humans!
Their existence could barely be compared to ants. Why? How did this happen?
Yao Lian couldn’t understand. It was clearly impossible for someone above the first rank to appear in the human race. Why did he encounter such a monster?
He still hadn’t figured out how he’d lost.
Logically speaking, there was no reason for him to lose.
“It’s up to you,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “I’ve given you a chance. If you don’t want it, that’s your business.
“Since you’re not willing to take this opportunity, forget it.”
Zhou Shu turned to look at Yao Buqi. “Yao Buqi, you have quite a status in the Demon Realm as well. If I let you go, can you control the Demon Realm army? If you can make the demonic beasts dig a million kilograms of ore for me, I can return your freedom.”
“I—” Yao Buqi’s eyes lit up, then he looked at Yao Lian timidly.
He wanted to say yes, but he didn’t dare.
Yao Lian was still listening. If he agreed, once Yao Lian returned to the Demon Realm alive, even his parents wouldn’t be able to protect him.
Yao Lian was furious. He panted heavily. If eyes could kill, Zhou Shu would have been killed countless times.
A million kilograms of ore sounded like a lot, but it was actually nothing to the demonic beast army!
If each of the million-strong demonic beast army dug up a stone, they could easily gather a million kilograms of ore.
Using a million kilograms of ore to exchange for freedom was actually a very good deal.
But he just could not take this lying down. He, a great demon, actually had to bow down to a human?
And this human wanted to humiliate him!
He actually asked this bastard Yao Buqi to deceive the Demon Realm Army in front of him!
It was intolerable!
“I’ll give you a million kilograms of ore!” Yao Lian roared. “I will definitely kill you! I swear to God!”
“No, no.”
Zhou Shu had heard people say all sorts of harsh words. He didn’t take them to heart at all. Instead, he shook his head and said, “A million kilograms of ore was the price just now. Now, the price has increased.”
He held up a finger. “Ten million kilograms of ore.”
Yao Lian’s hair stood on end. Fury overpowered his sanity. He gritted his teeth. “Very good! I’ll kill you. I’ll definitely kill you! I promise I’ll make you taste the worst torture of all time before I kill you!”
Bang!
Yao Lian’s voice stopped abruptly. His burly body flew dozens of feet away and crashed into the wall with a bang.
“Noisy!” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Although I’m not afraid of your threat, know your place. You’re now my prisoner. You talk too much. I’ll teach you how to behave.
“Yao Buqi, pass on Yao Lian’s orders.”
“After I see ten million kilograms of ore, Yao Lian, I will give you another chance to fight.”
Yao Lian lay on the floor and looked up at the sky, feeling like he had nothing to live for.
…
In Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, Yin Wuyou stood beside Zhou Shu and stole glances at him from time to time.
“Zhou Shu, is it really okay to let Yao Buqi leave?” Yin Wuyou said as she watched Yao Buqi’s figure disappear into the distance like lightning.
After taking the initiative to help Zhou Shu back to the camp last time, Yin Wuyou seemed to have overcome her previous psychological barrier and was no longer afraid of appearing in front of him. But when she occasionally thought of how she had exposed her body in front of him, her face still turned red.
