1194 Zhou Shu’s Achilles’ Heel (2)
“With Zhou Shu’s strength, even if he has a weakness, we might not be able to deal with him,” a Grotto-Heaven Master.
They were not inexperienced novices. As Grotto-Heaven Masters, they knew too well what kind of existence an expert of this realm was.
Not to mention Zhou Shu, even they didn’t have too many weaknesses.
If they had any weakness, they might not have survived until now.
Which Grotto-Heaven Master didn’t advance by stepping over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? They had countless enemies, and any weakness could put them at a disadvantage.
It was impossible for someone with obvious weaknesses to become a Grotto-Heaven Master.
Zhou Shu’s strength was not inferior to theirs. How could such a person have a fatal weakness?
“Do you think I’d joke with my life?” the black-robed man said. “Since I dare to say this, I’m naturally confident. But it will take everyone to work together to kill him. That’s why I called everyone here.”
“We are not fools. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you want us to be cannon fodder, don’t even think about it.”
The Grotto-Heaven Masters snorted.
“Stop beating around the bush. Tell us what Zhou Shu’s weakness is?”
The patience of the Grotto-Heaven Masters was almost exhausted.
“Yes, tell me. I’m also curious about my weakness.” A voice suddenly sounded out of thin air.
As soon as this voice appeared, the expressions of all the Grotto-Heaven Masters changed drastically.
Powerful auras soared into the sky as they immediately a.s.sumed a defensive posture.
Just a voice made so many Grotto-Heaven Masters feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. This was a scene that had never happened in the past ten thousand years.
The black-robed man trembled imperceptibly.
A figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
“Zhou Shu!” A suppressed voice echoed in the air.
Everyone’s pupils constricted. Why is he here? How can he be here?
All the Grotto-Heaven Masters looked at the black-robed man at the same time.
This was the black-robed man’s grotto-heaven. Without his permission, how could Zhou Shu enter?
“Did you arrange a trap for us?” The Grotto-Heaven Master’s tone was full of killing intent.
Their first reaction was that this black-robed man and Zhou Shu had joined forces to kill them!
Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why Zhou Shu was here!
“It’s not me. I didn’t ask him to come here!” The black-robed man hurriedly denied. “If I wanted to set up a trap for you, I wouldn’t have chosen my own grotto-heaven. Fighting here won’t do me any good!”
“Then, how do you explain it?”
The auras of the Grotto-Heaven Masters were all locked on the black-robed man. If he couldn’t give a reasonable explanation, the first person they attacked would be the black-robed man.
They didn’t dare to take the initiative to attack Zhou Shu, but they weren’t afraid of this black-robed man at all.
“I finally know why the Grotto-Heavens declined to this extent!” said the black-robed man, suppressing the anger in his heart. “Just because he’s here, you suspect me, an ally who is sincere in joining forces with you!”
The black-robed man was furious. “He’s just one person. Now is the best time to kill him. Instead of thinking about how to kill him, you want to deal with me. It’s simply unreasonable!”
“Yes, now is your best chance to kill me,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “There are so many of you. I’m not your match.”
There were many Grotto-Heaven Masters present. Zhou Shu was telling the truth.
But in the ears of the Grotto-Heaven Masters, it was ridicule.
It was blatant mockery.
All the Grotto-Heaven Masters were full of anger. But when they thought of Tang Lan and Shang Qiuzi’s outcome, none of them dared to act rashly.
Zhou Shu might not be able to defeat so many of them, but it was undeniable that if he desperately wanted someone to die with him, no one would be able to withstand it.
No one wanted to be the unlucky one, so no one wanted to be the first to attack Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu looked at the black-robed man and said indifferently, “Don’t you grasp my fatal weakness? If you don’t even dare to attack under such circ.u.mstances, you’re destined to stay in the darkness for the rest of your life.
“I’ve already come here myself, but you don’t even dare to attack?”
Zhou Shu’s voice became sharp as he shouted, “Cao Chenyang, Prince Cao!”
Everyone could see the black-robed man trembling.
“Cao Chenyang? Who is that?” All the Grotto-Heaven Masters were puzzled.
This name was very unfamiliar to them.
If the people from the Ten Nations Alliance army were present, they would definitely be very familiar with this name.
Prince Cao Chenyang was a martial artist from Great Liang and the first man in history to return from the Demon Realm alive.
Back then, on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, Cao Chenyang had brought information about the Demon Realm. At the time, he was one of the few first-rank experts in the Ten Nations.
Later on, he followed Zhou Shu and experienced many battles, making countless contributions.
Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in the end…
Of course, from the looks of it, he didn’t really die in battle back then. Instead, like Liang Hongxiu, he faked his death and escaped.
When he realized that Liang Hongxiu was still alive, Zhou Shu went to look for Meng Bai to verify the people who had died in battle back then.
At the time, Zhou Shu didn’t suspect Cao Chenyang.
It wasn’t until Lu Wenshuang found Liang Hongxiu’s letters that Zhou Shu realized that the person who had bewitched her back then was Cao Chenyang!
When Ji Lutian said that a wisp of the soul of the enemy from behind the heavens had escaped, Zhou Shu immediately thought of Cao Chenyang.
Back then, Cao Chenyang was only a first-rank martial artist. He didn’t have the strength to help Liang Hongxiu break through to the Grotto-Heaven realm.
Needless to say, he must have been instructed by some force.
Apart from a wisp of the soul of the enemy from beyond the heavens, Zhou Shu really couldn’t think of anyone else in this world who could make Cao Chenyang do this.
To Zhou Shu, once he found out that Cao Chenyang was still alive, it wasn’t difficult to find him.
Not to mention his Zhuang Zhou b.u.t.terfly Cultivation Technique, his Seven Swords of Heaven Interception also had the Karma Severing Sword.
Following the karma thread, as long as Cao Chenyang was still in this world, Zhou Shu would be able to find him.
“Hmph, she still revealed our secret.”
Seeing that his ident.i.ty had been exposed, Cao Chenyang decided not to hide it anymore. He took off the black robe on his head and looked at Zhou Shu coldly. “But it doesn’t matter even if you know my ident.i.ty. This world is not under your control yet. Zhou Shu. What can you do to me?”
“Is that so?” Zhou Shu’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Cao Chenyang. “I’m very curious. Are you Cao Chenyang or someone else?”
“Cut the c.r.a.p!” Cao Chenyang shouted. “You had a chance to go to heaven, but you chose to barge into h.e.l.l instead. I originally wanted to let you live a few more days, but since you came to tempt fate, I’ll send you on your way today!
“Everyone, listen carefully. Zhou Shu’s true strength is inferior to a Grotto-Heaven Master’s. He relied on a divine ability to increase his strength to kill Grotto-Heaven Masters. That divine ability can allow him to erupt with ten times his combat strength, but he will be weakened for a period of time after!
“As long as he falls into a weakened state, he won’t even be able to defeat ordinary martial artists.”
Cao Chenyang shouted, “We just have to force him to use his divine ability and hold on for a period of time. Then he can only be at our mercy!
“Everyone, attack together and force him to use his divine ability!”
Cao Chenyang erupted with an aura comparable to that of a Grotto-Heaven Master.
Zhou Shu’s expression was a little strange. “Cao Chenyang, is that my fatal weakness?”
Cao Chenyang laughed loudly. “Haha, do you think you can fool me? I already know your weakness like the back of my hand. If you don’t use your divine ability, then you’re no match for us. As long as we survive, you’ll still die!
“Zhou Shu, you shouldn’t have come here. If you hadn’t come, you could have lived a few more days. But now that you’re here, you have to die now!”
