726 The Grotto-Heavens Appear, The Demon Realm Retreats Temporarily (1)
Ji Lutian and the demonic beast who had torn the barrier between the two worlds fought from the ground to the sky and then from the sky to an unknown place.
The effect of the divine ability Total Annihilation was over, and Zhou Shu felt a strong sense of weakness. He leaned on his saber and forced himself not to fall to the ground.
The human army behind him was silent. There were clearly tens of thousands of people, but there was no movement at all.
The only thing audible was the heavy breathing from the opposing demonic beast army.
!!
Zhou Shu looked up at the Demon Realm army opposite him. His emotions had already calmed down. He had already discovered that the Demon Realm army opposite him was clearly in an abnormal state.
They seemed to have fallen into a state of mania. Although the demonic beasts he encountered in the past were a little impulsive and brainless, they were generally relatively rational.
But now, opposing the demonic beast army seemed to have lost their rationality.
Thinking back to the previous battle, Zhou Shu was even more certain that something was wrong with them.
At this moment, it wasn’t the time to investigate this matter. Ji Lutian and the demonic beast were fighting in some unknown place. Zhou Shu turned to look at Zheng Sanguang beside him.
In the distance, there were people from the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. From the looks of it, there were more than ten thousand of them.
Although when Zheng Yongtai appeared, Zhou Shu had thought that there would be people in grotto-heavens, like Shi Changsheng had mentioned previously, he was still a little surprised to see so many people.
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment and said, “Senior Zheng, you are…”
When Zheng Sanguang heard Zhou Shu’s voice, he turned around and forced a smile on his bloodstained face.
“Kid, don’t be afraid. With us around, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm won’t be able to do anything.” Zheng Sanguang patted Zhou Shu’s shoulder.
The image that Zhou Shu had painstakingly maintained collapsed.
He was drained of all energy. How could he withstand a pat from an expert like Zheng Sanguang?
Seeing Zhou Shu sit on the ground, Zheng Sanguang was stunned. He hadn’t used much strength. Could I have injured this kid?
That shouldn’t be the case. This kid was quite fierce before. I was still wondering where he came from.
“Are you injured?” Zheng Sanguang scratched his head awkwardly.
“It’s fine. Senior, don’t worry.” Zhou Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He realized that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
Previously, when he heard about Zheng Yongtai from Yin Wuyou’s letter, he had suspected that these people from hidden grotto-heavens had ill intentions. But now, it seemed that they weren’t bad people.
Zheng Sanguang said that with them around, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Then, why didn’t they appear when the demonic beasts invaded the Ten Nations Continent?
No, the Demon Realm didn’t seem to have really invaded the Ten Nations Continent before. In the previous Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, the Ten Nations could handle it themselves.
Is there something I don’t know? Zhou Shu was full of doubts.
Seeing that the victor was yet to be determined in the battle between Ji Lutian and the demonic beast and Zheng Sanguang seemed to be easier to talk to, Zhou Shu sat on the ground and continued, “Senior Zheng, may I know which nation you’re from?”
Seeing that Zhou Shu was really fine, Zheng Sanguang heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand. “Which nation? I’m not from any nation. I’m human. Do you know the Sima Grotto-Heaven?”
Zhou Shu feigned ignorance and shook his head.
Zheng Sanguang didn’t mind. “That’s right. I almost forgot. You probably don’t know. It’s okay. You’ll find out later.”
“Senior, where is the Sima Grotto-Heaven?” Zhou Shu continued asking.
“Don’t ask. I can’t tell you even if you ask,” Zheng Sanguang said with a grin. “The grotto-heavens have appeared. You’ll know if the opportunity arrives.”
Zhou Shu asked a few more questions, and Zheng Sanguang used the same excuse.
Suddenly, it was as if a sun had exploded in the sky, and two figures descended from the sky.
The demonic beast who had torn the barrier between the two worlds landed in front of the Demon Realm army, his clothes completely gone. He stood naked in front of the two armies, his entire body covered in black and shiny scales. Many of these scales had also fallen off, making him look a little miserable.
Ji Lutian had also landed in front of the human army. He didn’t look any better than the demonic beast.
His clothes hung in strands, and bloodstains could be vaguely seen on his body.
Zhou Shu didn’t know where the exquisite paG.o.da was. He could even see Ji Lutian’s body swaying slightly, as if he couldn’t stand steadily.
Zheng Sanguang leaned over to Ji Lutian and asked, “Did you win or lose?”
“I was lucky to win by one move.” Ji Lutian’s voice was weak.
Zheng Sanguang was delighted and waved his fist fiercely. It was obvious that he wasn’t as confident as he had been with Zhou Shu.
If the Demon Realm army really attacked without caring about anything, even with the reinforcements from the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, it would have been very difficult for them to stop the Demon Realm army.
Now that Ji Lutian had won, they would have a few months to prepare.
Zheng Sanguang activated his spiritual essence and shouted, “b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of the Demon Realm, what else do you have to say? Get lost!”
The demonic beast who had torn the barrier narrowed his eyes, and his chest heaved violently for a long time. “I’ll let you live for a few more months!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic beast seemed to be too ashamed to stay any longer. He stomped heavily and soared into the sky, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
The Demon Realm army didn’t retreat. Instead, they stationed themselves on the spot, as if they were preventing the human army from attacking the Demon Realm or were preparing to attack the Ten Nations Continent through the gap in the barrier between the two worlds after months.
In any case, they probably wouldn’t continue to attack now.
All the humans heaved a long sigh of relief.
