Chapter 426: Sword Control Technique, Yang Hong Makes Another Contribution (2)
“Three months at the most. This is going to be troublesome,” Zhou Shu muttered.
“Old Shi, do you have a way to open the passage to the Ten Nations?” Zhou Shu faced Shi Changsheng and cupped his hands.
Shi Changsheng glanced at him and said, “No. I’m neither human nor ghost. What ways can I have?”
“Old Shi, I apologize if I offended you with my words previously because of my ignorance,” Zhou Shu said solemnly.
“Old Shi, although there’s some friction between us, we can’t be considered mortal enemies. Even if you have any resentment toward me, it has nothing to do with these human soldiers.
“Old Shi, if you have a way, please help on account of these tens of thousands of humans!”
“I’m not angry with you. I really have no way.” Shi Changsheng shook his head. “If the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven collapses, everything left here will return to its original state. The same goes for the Longevity Sword.
“Even if I don’t save you, I have to save myself. But I already severed my connection with the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven back then. There’s nothing I can do now.”
...
Zhou Shu looked at Shi Changsheng for a long time. He was sure that Shi Changsheng wasn’t lying.
“If you can’t return to the Ten Nations Continent, you can go to the Demon Realm,” Shi Changsheng suddenly said. “Isn’t the passage to the Demon Realm still open?”
He snorted.?That isn’t an ordinary passage!
Apart from Zhou Shu, he couldn’t think of anyone else who could break through such a passageway.
Shi Changsheng wasn’t stupid. The Zhuling Grotto-Heaven entering the destruction period early was most likely related to that passage!
But now was not the time to fuss about it. He just played dumb.
“To the Demon Realm?” Zhou Shu frowned.
The Ten Nations Alliance was not ready yet. If they went directly to the Demon Realm, they would be walking right into a trap.
“With your cultivation and my Longevity Sword, even if you encounter a Demon King, you have a thirty percent chance of escaping unscathed,” Shi Changsheng continued. “You won’t die if you go to the Demon Realm.”
“I won’t die. But what about the army?” Zhou Shu said.
Of course, he knew he wouldn’t die. He wasn’t strong enough to fight, but if he wanted to escape, there weren’t many people in the world who could stop him.
But while he could escape, the Ten Nations Alliance could not.
If he went to the Demon Realm now, he would most likely encounter the million-strong Demon Realm army that he had sent back there.
In their territory, Zhou Shu wasn’t confident that he could survive with the Ten Nations Alliance.
“No gentleman has a petty mind, and no true man is without venom,” Shi Changsheng said. “I don’t care how many people die as long as you can live.”
He looked straight at Zhou Shu. “With your cultivation and my Longevity Sword, you can go anywhere you want. Even if the army dies, it will be easy for you to form a new force.”
“Shut up!” Zhou Shu shouted coldly. “Shi Changsheng, I don’t care who you were in the past, whether you were from a righteous sect or an evil sect.
“But here with me, put away all your tricks!
“Although I, Zhou Shu, am not a good person, I won’t abandon my comrades!”
“How is that abandoning them?” Shi Changsheng said. “On the battlefield, everyone is just fighting for their lives. Do you want to live and die with them? Don’t be naive!”
“It’s hard to say if I’ll die.” Zhou Shu looked at the Longevity Sword. “But before the army dies, the Longevity Sword will definitely be destroyed.
“Didn’t you say that with my cultivation and the Longevity Sword, I can fight a Demon King? I want to see how many demons I can kill with the Longevity Sword. If I risk destroying the Longevity Sword, will I be able to kill a Demon King?!”
Shi Changsheng: “…”
He wanted to say something else, but Zhou Shu had already flicked his sleeve and put the Longevity Sword into his Cosmic Bangle.
Zhou Shu’s expression was solemn as he looked up at the lightning and thunder that occasionally appeared in the sky.
Whether he left the army alone or whether he died with the army, both were not options for Zhou Shu.
Even if he had to take a detour to the Demon Realm, Zhou Shu was prepared to return to the Ten Nations Continent with the Ten Nations Alliance!
We still have three months. There’s still time!?Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes.
“Deputy Pavilion Master!” Zhou Shu shouted.
Shi Songtao emerged from the forging room behind him. “Pavilion Master, you called?”
“From now on, gather all your strength and forge Cosmic Bangles!” Zhou Shu said in a low voice.
“According to the steps I’ve disassembled, everyone will work together. As long as the standards are uniform, there won’t be any problems with the final star fixing.
“I want to see a hundred Cosmic Bangles in two months!”
One Cosmic Bangle only contained five feet square in space. A hundred Cosmic Bangles was actually far from being able to contain all the forging materials in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven.
But in the current situation, there was no other choice. Without the Cosmic Bangles, they couldn’t bring much forging materials with them.
“A hundred Cosmic Bangles in two months?” Shi Songtao said in surprise. “Pavilion Master, this is a little difficult.”
They would have to forge more than one Cosmic Bangle almost every day, but the Cosmic Bangle was a ranked weapon.
“I don’t want to hear any excuses! In the next two months, I’ll allow you to use all the resources in this world, be it things or people. Even if you ask Great General Meng to cooperate with you, there will be no problem.
“In two months, if I don’t see a hundred Cosmic Bangles, you can abdicate as the deputy pavilion master.”
“I—” Shi Songtao gritted his teeth. “I will definitely complete the mission!”
He turned around and went back into the forging room. Without delay, he gathered all the forgers in the camp and began to forge Cosmic Bangles.
In the next two months, even if he didn’t sleep or rest, he had to complete his mission!
If the forgers wanted to learn the secret forging formulas of the Huaxia Pavilion, they would have to cooperate!
Shi Songtao looked like he was about to go to war, and his face was full of killing intent.
“Yang Hong!” Zhou Shu shouted.
“Your Highness!” Yang Hong jumped out.
He had spent the last few days in camp recuperating.
“Take the Mo Mei Sword and follow me.”
With only three months left, even if he forged without rest, how many ranked weapons could he forge?
Forging standard weapons would only increase the combat power of the soldiers to a limited extent.
Therefore, the most practical thing now was the Dark Cloud Armor!
The Dark Cloud Armor was the reward from Mo Mei Sword. It was also easier than forging weapons.
The only thing to worry about was how many demonic beasts were left in the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. Hopefully, they hadn’t been wiped out by the Ten Nations Alliance.
Yang Hong didn’t understand, but he still said, “Your Highness, the Mo Mei Sword is always with me.”
“Let’s go!” Zhou Shu flicked his sleeve, and a force swept Yang Hong into the sky.
Yang Hong was still in a daze when he flew into the sky.
When he came to, he was back on the ground.
Boom!
A familiar feeling surged into his heart, and Yang Hong felt that his body was filled with strength.
He was very familiar with this feeling. Previously, when Zhou Shu had sent him out to kill demonic beasts, he had used this secret technique to give him incomparably powerful strength.
“There are more than a dozen demonic beasts ahead. Kill them all.” Zhou Shu’s voice entered Yang Hong’s ears.
Although Yang Hong was still a little puzzled, this wasn’t the time to hesitate.
He drew his Mo Mei Sword, and his body glowed golden.
This time, Zhou Shu shared the Golden Bell Shield Technique with him.
“Kill!” Yang Hong roared and charged into the group of demonic beasts.
Zhou Shu didn’t interfere in the battle. These dozen or so surviving demonic beasts were not too strong. Yang Hong, who had the Golden Bell Shield to protect him, could handle them.
He had other things to do.
With a flash, Zhou Shu had already arrived in front of a nearby mine that had been split open by the Longevity Sword. His divine sense was like hands as he controlled six Cosmic Bangles to fly out. At the same time, sword light crisscrossed and cut through the scattered ore.
An hour later, Yang Hong finally killed all the demonic beasts.
Before he could catch his breath, he felt himself flying again.
A moment later, he landed in another group of demonic beasts. Around the demonic beasts were some dumbfounded soldiers.
“Leave these demonic beasts to him. Come over and collect the ore!” Zhou Shu shouted as he descended from the sky.
