Chapter 220 Harvest, Fifth-Rank Martial Artist (2)
Zhou Shu led the way. The efficiency of the Great Destroyer Sword was astonishing. Almost no demonic beast could block his sword.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang were both experts. Their eyes were full of shock as they watched Zhou Shu kill demonic beasts.
His swordsmanship is so powerful!
With Zhou Shu leading the way, the pressure on the other members of the Great Xia diplomatic mission and Great Liang diplomatic mission lessened.
!!
They only needed to be responsible for the occasional demonic beasts that jumped out from the side and the front. With their strength, they could barely handle this.
Even if they couldn’t handle it, there was still Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang.
When the two of them attacked, the demonic beasts were like paper, torn to pieces easily.
Great Liang’s diplomatic mission secretly rejoiced that they had managed to get close to Great Xia. Otherwise, with their abilities, they would probably be in danger now.
It was like being protected by experts during the trial.
Boom!
A loud sound came from the sky as a powerful force shattered the thunderclouds.
The Qin emperor’s figure reappeared in the air, and the demonic beast battling him was already gone. “Great Qin elite soldiers, kill all demonic beasts.” The voice of the Qin emperor resounded throughout the Great Qin’s capital. “Take down Great Wei’s diplomatic mission!”
The Qin emperor stood in midair, and as soon as he appeared, cheers shaking the heavens thundered throughout the capital.
Zhou Shu could clearly feel that the morale of the Great Qin soldiers had increased by 30%. The speed at which they killed demonic beasts increased greatly.
The Qin emperor didn’t continue to attack. He stood in the air, his body emanating a dazzling light.
Zhou Shu felt a strange power emit from the Qin emperor’s body. His entire person seemed to have fused with the net that Zhou Shu had sensed earlier.
The Qin emperor is actually using himself to repair that net! What is that net?
Great Qin’s protective formation?
As Zhou Shu’s thoughts flashed, he had already rushed into the post house.
Outside the post house, the corpses of demonic beasts were piled up like a mountain.
Chen Ji led the Great Xia diplomatic mission’s guards and formed a defensive line, blocking all the demonic beasts outside the post house.
Chen Ji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Shu. He sent a demonic beast flying with a slash of his saber before leaping in front of Zhou Shu and bowing. “Marquis!”
“General Chen, there is no need for formalities.” Zhou Shu asked, “How is the situation here?”
“Fortunately, you asked me to make preparations in advance,” Chen Ji explained “Marquis, what happened? Where did these demonic beasts come from?”
“I don’t know either.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “General Chen, Great Qin is currently in trouble. We can’t just sit idly by.
“How about this? You lead the guards to help kill the demonic beasts.”
The Qin emperor was currently standing in the air. It was obvious that the situation had not gone out of control.
Zhou Shu naturally wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity. Chen Ji and Yin Chengshan were not the only soldiers in the Great Xia diplomatic mission equipped with weapons he forged.
A large number of people were equipped with Eight-Sided Han Swords and Spring Embroidered Sabers.
Zhou Shu had personally forged these.
If they completed kills, Zhou Shu would receive benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon.
How could he miss such an easy opportunity to obtain benefits?
“Then, what about you, Marquis?” Chen Ji asked.
“I’m fine. These demonic beasts are unable to harm me.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I will go with you to kill demonic beasts. Just leave some people to protect Great General Meng.”
Zhou Shu turned around and said to Han Dazhi, “General Han, you can stay with us for now and leave after the demonic beasts are eliminated. This place should be safe.”
“Thank you, Marquis,” Han Dazhi said. “However, I still have the strength to fight. I am willing to follow you to kill demonic beasts, Marquis.”
“Suit yourself.” Zhou Shu couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath. With every delay, the number of demonic beasts in the city would decrease.
These were living rewards.
“Brothers, kill all these beasts!” Zhou Shu raised the Great Destroyer Sword and jumped out again.
The Qin emperor, who was standing in the air, had his gaze enveloping all of Great Qin’s capital.
He saw the soldiers of Great Qin killing demonic beasts, as well as the diplomatic missions of the various countries hiding in Great Qin’s palace to protect themselves.
Suddenly, his gaze froze.
Nas
Within his field of vision, Zhou Shu was shuttling back and forth with Great Xia’s diplomatic mission. Demonic beasts were being slaughtered one by one, and at the same time, the citizens of Great Qin were being rescued from the claws and teeth of the demonic beasts.
The Qin emperor’s eyes flickered with approval.
The next moment, he grunted as his body shook slightly, and a trace of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, an indistinct large net appeared in the sky. Some of the nodes on the large net seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
The Qin emperor snorted as a fierce expression flashed across his face. A dazzling light suddenly rose from his body, causing the entire net to flash.
No one on the ground knew what was happening in the sky.
Ever since the Qin emperor reappeared in the air, the number of demonic beasts in the city had already stopped increasing.
Under the continuous attacks of Great Qin’s army and Zhou Shu, the number of demonic beasts continued to decrease.
Boom!
Zhou Shu slashed a demonic beast in half. Before he could continue, an aura suddenly surged from his body.
The surrounding spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged madly into his body, forming a visible spiritual qi vortex in the air.
His spiritual essence cultivation had broken through!
As he continued to kill demonic beasts, the benefits from the Great Destroyer Sword caused Zhou Shu’s spiritual essence to increase.
He had broken through to the fifth rank of the Martial Dao at this moment!
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang, following closely behind Zhou Shu, were dumbfounded.
Yin Wuyou understood Zhou Shu the best. She knew when Zhou Shu had started cultivating the Martial Dao. It hadn’t even been a year!
As for Lu Wenshuang, not too long ago, she had personally witnessed Zhou Shu’s spiritual essence cultivation break through to the sixth rank. It had only been a dozen or so days since then!
To cultivate from the sixth rank to the fifth rank in a dozen days, even she could not do it.
She wasn’t the only one who couldn’t do it. None of the martial artists in history had broken through so quickly!
This was definitely an unprecedented feat!
If not for the fact that she had been by Zhou Shu’s side for the past few days, Lu Wenshuang would never believe that someone could cultivate so quickly.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Lu Wenshuang would have thought that Zhou Shu had broken through by consuming all sorts of medicinal pills.
This method could indeed allow him to break through quickly in his cultivation, but it would only cause endless trouble.
His Martial Dao talent is actually so extraordinary, Lu Wenshuang thought. Looks like it won’t be long before he can fight me fairly.
“Marquis, Shen Yue!” Suddenly, Han Dazhi’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s ear.
Han Dazhi said he followed Zhou Shu to slay demonic beasts, but he had actually been following behind Zhou Shu the entire time. Or rather, he had been following beside Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang. From beginning to end, he hadn’t killed a single demonic beast…
With these two experts present, he was very safe.
Zhou Shu retracted his spiritual essence and looked in the direction that Han Dazhi was pointing.
Not far away, a sneaky figure was preparing to rush out of the city gate. Who else could it be but Shen Yue?
“Stop him!” Zhou Shu shouted.
Yin Wuyou had already soared into the sky and was flying toward Shen Yue. The speed of a second-rank martial artist was incredibly fast. Even though she was several thousand feet away from Shen Yue, with her speed, she could reach him in an instant. He couldn’t escape!
Right at this time, a figure suddenly appeared at the city gate. This person shouted loudly, and a sword light struck Shen Yue’s chest.
Shen Yue was caught off guard and struck by the sword light. He cried out in pain and flew backward, leaving a trace of blood in the air.
At this moment, Yin Wuyou had already fallen from the sky. Looking at the heavily injured Shen Yue on the ground, she didn’t know if she should attack again.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” A voice rang in Yin Wuyou’s ears.
Yin Wuyou looked up and saw the person who had just knocked down Shen Yue bowing to her.
SO
“You are?” Yin Wuyou asked strangely. “Your Highness, it’s me.” The person raised his head, revealing a face swollen like a pig’s head.
Yin Wuyou’s little mouth was wide open with a puzzled expression. “Who are you?”
