Boom!
A spear pierced through the last mutated beast.
The village chief of Boundary Bridge Village and Cao Yue were panting heavily. Both of them were holding their knees, exhausted.
The village chief was an old hunter. Although he wasn’t a martial artist before, he had learned his fighting skills in actual combat.
After receiving Zhou Shu’s divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence, he directly had the same strength as Cao Yue.
With the same strength, the village chief’s lethality was not something Cao Yue could compare to.
It was precisely because of the village chief that they could kill all the knights.
Otherwise, with just Cao Yue alone, the knights would have definitely escaped.
Zhou Shu didn’t have the strength to stop them.
“Everyone, I’ve avenged you!” The village chief wiped the blood from his face, his eyes red.
Although he had killed the knights, more than half of the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village had already died. It was impossible for them to come back to life.
Peng Jiuyuan was lying on the ground in a daze, his expression blank.
Some of the surviving villagers were sobbing softly, while others had already begun to collect the corpses on the ground.
“This is going to be troublesome,” Zhou Shu said.
“Village Chief…” Zhou Shu turned around and looked at the village chief of Boundary Bridge Village.
“Mr. Cao Shu…” The village chief came in front of Zhou Shu and cupped his hands.
“Village Chief, things might be a little troublesome,” Zhou Shu said grimly. “The two of you were inexperienced. Before the knights died, they sent the news out.
“It shouldn’t take long for the Dong family’s reinforcements to arrive. At that time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop them.”
The village chief’s expression changed slightly. “I’m..
“Although I lent you my strength, it can only last for forty hours. After that, your current strength will disappear,” Zhou Shu said. “Even if I continue to lend you my strength, it’s useless. I think there are probably more than one or two experts in a large family like the Dong family.”
The village chief’s expression became very solemn. The Dong family controlled an area with a radius of 5,000 kilometers. They had a deep foundation and countless experts.
If they really wanted to deal with a small Boundary Bridge Village, there was definitely no way out for the village.
“Mr. Cao Shu, you’re not the a.s.sa.s.sin who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate the family head. I will go to the head family and make things clear. These people killed innocent people and deserve to die!” the village chief said through gritted teeth.
“Village Chief, do you think you can meet the important members of the Dong family? I’m afraid you’ll be killed before you can even enter the gate,” Zhou Shu said. “If they were reasonable people, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.”
The village chief’s expression collapsed. The Dong family was high and mighty. They wouldn’t give him a chance to reason indeed.
The village chief was silent for a long time before cupping his hands and saying seriously, “Mr. Cao Shu, please guide us!”
“Village Chief, do you trust me?” Zhou Shu asked.
The village chief of Boundary Bridge Village didn’t have the bearing of an ordinary mountain dweller.
With so many people dead in Boundary Bridge Village, most people would resent Zhou Shu.
However, not only did the village chief not hate Zhou Shu, but he was even willing to ask Zhou Shu for guidance. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
Not only did he have a bearing, but he also had a keen eye. This village chief was much better than Peng Jiuyuan.
Zhou Shu glanced at Peng Jiuyuan, who was lying on the ground, and sighed slightly.
It was undeniable that Peng Jiuyuan wasn’t a bad person, but his performance had disappointed Zhou Shu.
No wonder the descendants of the 36 generals of the Ancient Heavenly Court had declined to this extent. This was not without reason.
“I know you’re not an ordinary person, Mr. Cao Shu,” the village chief said seriously. He still had the power Zhou Shu had lent him in his body. The village chief knew very well how powerful this power was.
Even the unimaginably powerful Dong family knights had been killed by him with his own hands.
How could Zhou Shu, who had this power, be an ordinary person?
“You have seen way more than us country b.u.mpkins. You must have a way to help us,” the village chief said solemnly. “If you can save our Boundary Bridge
Village, I’m willing to give you the treasures pa.s.sed down from the ancestors of
Boundary Bridge Village as repayment!”
Zhou Shu shook his head slightly. “There’s no need. You encountered this because of me.
Zhou Shu pondered. “Since this happened because of me, I’ll be responsible to the end.
“Village Chief, I just came from there. There’s a canyon in the mountains. It’s very secluded. You can go there and hide for a while. I’ll handle the matter of the Dong family. In a year or so, you’ll be able to return to the village to live.”
As long as he could find the Celestial Thearch Sword, Zhou Shu was confident that he could reconstruct the Legendary Armament Canon.
As long as he reforged the Legendary Armament Canon, Zhou Shu would soon recover his cultivation.
As long as he recovered his cultivation, he could easily kill a mere Dong family.
“Go into the mountains to hide?” The village chief pondered. “Looks like that’s the only way.”
“Uncle Peng!” Suddenly, a shrill cry sounded.
Zhou Shu and the village chief looked in the direction of the voice at the same time.
In the distance, Peng Jiuyuan was holding a hunting saber against his neck. Cao Yue was hugging Peng Jiuyuan’s arm tightly to stop him from killing himself..
