Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 103: Never Underestimate Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Shu carried the Zhu brothers and ran over fifty kilometers in a single breath. Even he didn’t know where he was heading.

It seemed like he had already run deep into a forest, so it would take some time for the pursuers to catch up, right?

Zhou Shu threw the Zhu brothers to the ground.

Even with his current strength, sprinting over fifty kilometers in one breath was somewhat strenuous.

As for carrying two people, let alone two people, even two pigs were nothing to his tenth level cultivation in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

Zhu Chuanfeng was still unconscious, but Zhu Chuanzhi’s eyes remained open.

However, he didn’t have the strength to speak.

His eyes stared fixedly at Zhou Shu, his expression extremely complex.

There was anger, doubt, and despair.

Zhu Chuanzhi finally gathered some strength and asked through gritted teeth, “Who exactly are you?”

“Didn’t I tell you? Forging Division, 0th Workshop, Zhou Shu?” The corners of Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly.

Out of nowhere, Zhu Chuanzhi roared in anger, “Impossible! The superintendent of the 0th Workshop, Zhou Shu, is a Forging Apprentice. He has only been exposed to the Martial Dao for a few months. It’s impossible for him to have such a cultivation level! Who are you!”

Even now, he is still lying to me!

“It’s up to you to believe me or not.” Zhou Shu shrugged. “A man never hides his name no matter what. I am Zhou Shu.

“Of course, it’s normal for you not to understand. After all, geniuses are existences that you cannot understand.”

Beside him, Zhu Chuanfeng was startled awake by Zhu Chuanzhi’s yell. He abruptly sat up, just in time to see Zhou Shu not far away.

“You…”

The spiritual essence in Zhu Chuanfeng’s body erupted as he leaped into the air, preparing to attack Zhou Shu.

Bang!

A saber swung out horizontally and hit Zhu Chuanfeng’s right cheek. A crisp sound rang out, and Zhu Chuanfeng was knocked to the ground, stunned.

“Big Brother!” Zhu Chuanzhi shouted.

“Stop wailing. I don’t want to kill anyone yet. You two better cooperate.”

Zhou Shu carried the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber on his shoulder. When he left the carriage, he hadn’t forgotten to bring the saber with him.

Zhu Chuanfeng raised his head and glared angrily at Zhou Shu, his eyes full of doubt.

If the Zhou Shu in front of him was fake, he couldn’t see any traces of him changing his appearance.

But how could he be the real one?

Even though his cultivation was not as high as Zhu Chuanzhi’s, Zhu Chuanfeng was much calmer than Zhu Chuanzhi. He quickly understood the situation he was in.

He crawled to his feet and stared at Zhou Shu. “Winner takes it all. Since we brothers have fallen into your hands, you can do whatever you want.”

One side of his face swelled from being hit by Zhou Shu’s Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber, making him look a bit comical. But his serious expression still had a bit of the aura of a Grand Craftsman.

Zhou Shu laughed mockingly. “Zhu Chuanfeng, you don’t need to pretend to be a hero in front of me. I know exactly what kind of person you are.

“How do you think your secret was leaked?”

“It’s you?” The light in Zhu Chuanfeng’s eyes intensified as he spoke with hatred. “Who are you? What grudge do you have with me, Zhu Chuanfeng? Why are you doing this?!”

Previously, when he was slapped in the face by Zhou Shu, he hadn’t been this angry. But now, it seemed as though he really wanted to fight Zhou Shu to the death.

He was truly full of hatred. He had gone from being a Grand Craftsman to a stray dog overnight. And it was all thanks to this person in front of him!

“Don’t you know who I am?” Zhou Shu laughed coldly. “Even if there’s no enmity between us, I can’t just stand by and watch, can I? Do you have any enmity with those forgers you killed?”

Zhu Chuanfeng stared intently at Zhou Shu. “After saying so much, do you think you are a gentleman yourself?”

He was quick-tempered, but he also calmed down quickly. He said in a deep voice, “You didn’t kill us and deliberately avoided the people from the Divine Constable Bureau. Don’t you have other motives?

“It’s all for the sake of benefits. The pot is calling the kettle black. Tell me. What do you want from me?” Zhu Chuanfeng’s eyes were full of wisdom. He said coldly, “I don’t ask for much. Let us brothers live. I can give you everything else!”

Zhou Shu looked at Zhu Chuanfeng, feeling a bit of admiration in his heart. As expected of someone who had committed such a major crime, his mental fortitude was truly impressive.

If he was in Zhu Chuanfeng’s shoes, Zhou Shu wouldn’t dare to say that he would be able to remain as calm as he was.

At a time like this, he was still thinking about an exchange of interests.

But if it were anyone else, they might have been persuaded by Zhu Chuanfeng. After all, the benefits that Zhu Chuanfeng represented were just too great.

In fact, wasn’t Zhou Shu also here for the seven heaven-grade weapons?

Zhou Shu felt that this was absurd. He was the one who had subdued the two of them, so why did it feel like Zhu Chuanfeng was the one in control?

As expected, he couldn’t underestimate these old fellows. Even though he was a transmigrator, he had only lived for a little more than thirty years in his two lifetimes. Compared to these old fellows, he might not have any advantage.

“Whether or not you can live will depend on what you can offer.” Zhou Shu laughed coldly.

He didn’t directly mention the seven heaven-grade weapons. Otherwise, he would truly be led by the nose by Zhu Chuanfeng.

The first element of the negotiation was not to let the other party know one’s intentions.

Pfft! No, this isn’t a negotiation. It’s an interrogation. Zhou Shu cursed inwardly.

He was still lacking in experience. Even though he had seen many television dramas and read many novels in his previous life, this was the first time he was experiencing it personally.

“The things that I can take out are definitely more precious than both of our lives,” Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly.

“I have a batch of ranked weapons. There are heaven and earth-grade weapons, as well as black and yellow-grade weapons. In addition, I have the money I’ve accumulated over the years. It won’t be a problem for you to become the richest man in the prefecture.”

Zhou Shu was speechless. The richest man in the prefecture?

The country of Great Xia only had thirty-four prefectures. How much money did one have to have in order to be the richest man in one prefecture?

He had originally thought that he would be lucky if Zhu Chuanfeng had those heaven-grade weapons in his possession. He never imagined that Zhu Chuanfeng would have more than he had imagined.

Poverty had limited his imagination.

Previously, he had never imagined that a Grand Craftsman would be so ruthless when it came to making money.

In his previous world, it would be equivalent to an academician becoming the richest man in a province. He would definitely have a net worth of tens of billions.

While Zhou Shu was still in shock, Zhu Chuanfeng continued, “In addition, I also know some evidence against important ministers of Great Xia. With this information, you can do anything you want in the Great Xia…”

Zhou Shu was shocked. This isn’t a good thing!

Evidence against Great Xia’s important ministers? If those important ministers found out, wouldn’t they think of ways to silence him?

Although he might not be afraid, he didn’t want to cause any trouble.

As for picking out the important officials of Grand Xia and getting rid of them, Zhou Shu didn’t have the time to do so. Emperor Yuan Feng was not paying him to do it.

“Stop, I’m not interested,” Zhou Shu interrupted Zhu Chuanfeng. He was really afraid that Zhu Chuanfeng would reveal some secret.

He might be curious, but not that curious.

If he really got into trouble for some so-called secrets, he would rather not listen to these secrets.

Anyway, as long as those people didn’t provoke him, he didn’t have the time to get rid of evil for the country.

“Tell me first. Where are your weapons and wealth hidden?” Zhou Shu said.

“Are you stupid, or do you think I’m stupid?” Zhu Chuanfeng smiled half-heartedly.

“If I gave you the things, would we brothers still live?

“I’ve said it before. I can give you all that you want, but you have to ensure the safety of us brothers!”

“Zhu Chuanfeng, do you think you have the right to bargain?” Zhou Shu snorted coldly.

“In that case, you can kill me.” Zhu Chuanfeng sneered. “If you kill me, you’ll never find those things. To be honest, my life has been worth it. Even if I die now, I won’t lose anything!”

Zhu Chuanfeng raised his head, looking fearless.

Zhou Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly. This wily old fox is really not easy to deal with.

“Since we don’t trust each other, forget it. I’ll send you on your way now,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. His arm trembled slightly, and the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber transformed into a saber light slashing toward Zhu Chuanzhi’s head.

“Wait!” Zhu Chuanfeng shouted.

The saber light stopped one inch away from Zhu Chuanzhi.

Zhu Chuanzhi’s face turned pale from the saber intent.

At this moment, he truly realized that this fake Zhou Shou before him possessed unfathomable strength, and this saber intent caused him to be utterly unable to arouse the intention to resist.

“You win!” Zhu Chuanfeng said dejectedly. “I can give you the things, but not here.”

“There’s a post house ten miles away from the capital. I hid it in the post house. As for its exact location, only I can find it.”

Zhu Chuanfeng stared at Zhou Shu. “You take us to the post house, and I’ll open the secret room for you. Then you let us go. As for whether or not we can escape from the Divine Constable Bureau, that has nothing to do with you.

“If you don’t even agree to this condition, then just kill us brothers!” Zhu Chuanfeng closed his eyes, looking like he was ready to die.

Zhu Chuanzhi also raised his head. He wouldn’t disgrace his elder brother. All these years, he had been prepared to die!

However, he didn’t know the true identity of the person who was going to kill him. He wouldn’t die in peace!

Post house? Zhou Shu’s heart jumped. Zhu Chuanfeng said before that as long as they could escape to the post house, they would be saved.

Now that he’s mentioned the post house, it seems like the post house really has his reinforcements.

“Zhu Chuanfeng, you really are unrepentant. Did you think I didn’t hear what you said? Since I know that the items are hidden in the post house, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I’ll find them.”

Zhou Shu shook his head. “Do I need to bring you there now?

“I’d better send the both of you on your way,” Zhou Shu said while raising his Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber again.
