Legendary Armament Canon

"That's why Yao Lian has been clamoring to fight you again, Pavilion Master."

"How is the gathering of the other nations' remnant armies?" Zhou Shu asked. Previously, he had been so focused on showing off the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor and the Criminal Army that he had forgotten to ask about this.

"News is coming in," Shi Songtao said. "But since the Demon Realm army stopped mining, they've started attacking our people everywhere."

Such things were hard to avoid.

Although the Demon Realm army was worried about Zhou Shu's existence and the safety of Yao Lian, it was impossible to make them listen obediently.

They were already restraining themselves and didn't directly mobilize their main forces to attack the human troops outside. This was already being very concerned about Yao Lian's safety.

"Go ask the great general and the others to speed up gathering the remnant armies." Zhou Shu pondered. "The patience of the Demon Realm army is probably almost exhausted. Without Yao Lian, they will probably be unable to resist attacking.

"It's time to send Yao Lian on his way."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Shu walked toward the place where Yao Lian was imprisoned.

Yao Lian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with Lu Wenshuang and Cao Chenyang also sitting cross-legged.

Both of them held their swords above their knees and stared at Yao Lian.

Hearing Zhou Shu enter, Yao Lian suddenly opened his eyes. "Human, you've finally shown yourself!"

Yao Lian revealed his ghastly teeth and said coldly, "I've already sent people to deliver the ore you want. A man keeps his word. Release me!"

"You're a demon. Don't you think it's a little funny to talk about a man keeping his word?" Zhou Shu said.

"You're going back on your word?" Yao Lian said angrily, his eyes shining.

"Going back on my word?" Zhou Shu shook his head. "No. I wouldn't lie to you.

"I said I'd give you a fair fight. Naturally, I'll give you one.

"You had a chance to go to heaven, but you chose to barge into hell instead."

Zhou Shu shook his head. "Since you're rushing to your death, I'll do as you wish."

Zhou Shu raised his hand and patted Yao Lian a few times.

A powerful aura erupted from Yao Lian's body, and boundless battle intent erupted from his crimson eyes.

Boom!

The house made of stone collapsed under his force.

Lu Wenshuang and Cao Chenyang both erupted with their first-rank aura and knocked away the fallen stones.

Zhou Shu stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't move, and when the falling boulders landed on the surface of his body, they were already shattered by the golden light.

Zhou Shu looked at Yao Lian and said coldly, "If you don't restrain your aura, I'll kill you now!"

Yao Lian froze, and his aura gradually converged.

He had just recovered his spiritual essence and had yet to recover to his peak state. If he really attacked, it would be disadvantageous to him.

"I'll give you a day. Go back and make arrangements for your funeral," Zhou Shu said coldly. "A day later, I'll come to the Demon Realm's camp to take your life.

"Of course, if you think you can't do it, it's not impossible for you to send an army of demons to surround me."

"Hmph! I'm not so shameless. I will definitely kill you with my own hands." Yao Lian snorted and stomped heavily. The ground exploded with a bang as he shot into the sky like a cannonball and disappeared in an instant.

"Master."

"Your Highness."

Lu Wenshuang and Cao Chenyang spoke almost at the same time.

Confusion crossed their faces.

They didn't understand why Zhou Shu let Yao Lian go.

Why talk about credibility with the enemy? Couldn't he just kill him?

"Don't worry. If I can beat him once, I can beat him a second time," Zhou Shu said. "Those defeated by me will never be my match again."

During the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Zhou Shu was constantly becoming stronger.

Since Zhou Shu last fought Yao Lian, his strength had increased by more than 30%.

Coupled with the 100-fold combat power increase of his divine ability Total Annihilation, he was not afraid that Yao Lian would become stronger than him.

Besides, he had other plans for letting Yao Lian leave.

It was easy to kill Yao Lian. But after killing Yao Lian, there was still the million-strong demonic beast army. They were a huge problem.

"You two have worked hard these past few days. Go back and rest." Zhou Shu waved his hand. "You don't have to worry about Yao Lian. However, there will definitely be a battle between us and the Demon Realm army. We won't be able to avoid it."

Lu Wenshuang and Cao Chenyang nodded.

Cao Chenyang left first. Lu Wenshuang was a step slower and said hesitantly, "Master, the Abyss Rainbow Sword…"

Previously, when Zhou Shu had given her the Abyss Rainbow Sword, he had said that he was lending it to her. Although he had never taken the initiative to take it back, she still had to ask him.

"Take it and use it for now," Zhou Shu said casually. Lu Wenshuang had been doing well recently. Zhou Shu's initial dissatisfaction with her was about to dissipate.

"Thank you, Master." Lu Wenshuang's eyes flashed with joy before she left with her sword.

After Lu Wenshuang left, Zhou Shu took out Great Wei's imperial cauldron from his Cosmic Bangle.

The half bronze and half blood-red imperial cauldron looked a little demonic.

Zhou Shu knocked on the cauldron, and it made a crisp sound.

"A proper imperial cauldron has turned into this awful thing," Zhou Shu said regretfully. "Whether or not you can return to normal depends on Yao Lian."

Zhou Shu pondered his plan.

He didn't let Yao Lian go out of impulse, and neither was he out of his mind. He had an idea.

In the dream, Zhou Shu knew how Emperor Wei Wu had infected Great Wei's imperial cauldron.

But Zhou Shu didn't have any thoughts about continuing to infect the cauldron. Instead, he wanted the imperial cauldron to return to its original state.

The idea of a divine artifact turning into a bloody, ugly mess was disgusting.

But Zhou Shu was still not strong enough to remove the pollution on the Great Wei's imperial cauldron.

This was why he was targeting Yao Lian.

Two birds with one stone. Why not?

Make the best use of everything. Yao Lian is a Great Demon. If I kill him, I wonder how many rewards I'll get from the Legendary Armament Canon, Zhou Shu thought.

According to his past experience, the higher the cultivation of the enemy he killed, the richer the rewards from the Legendary Armament Canon.

If I kill him with the Great Destroyer Sword, my divine ability One Against Ten Thousand will most likely reach perfection.

But Zhou Shu always felt the divine ability One Against Ten Thousand was useless. It would be a waste to use Yao Lian to perfect One Against Ten Thousand.

I should borrow Meng Bai's Mountain Suppressing Sword. The power of the Heaven Slaying Sword Art is not bad. If I can raise it to perfection, I can use it as a new trump card.

The Great Traversal Sword Art rewarded by the Abyss Rainbow Sword is slightly lacking now. I have to perfect it for it to be useful.

With Zhou Shu's current status, what he needed to deal with was at least first-rank martial artists. It was a little difficult to use the Great Traversal Sword Art to deal with first-rank martial artists at its current level.

Previously, he had used the killing move Hundred Steps Flying Sword several times, but he had failed. Although it was also because his opponent was powerful, it was still because his level of the Great Traversal Sword Art was a little low.

If it could reach perfection, the Hundred Steps Flying Sword move could easily kill a first-rank martial artist.

The Great Traversal Sword Art was a sword technique that was stronger than the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique. The Hundred Steps Flying Sword was not inferior to the Heaven Slaying Sword Art.

What a pity. I can only kill Yao Lian once. I wonder if that bastard Emperor Wei Wu will revive like Xiao Shunzhi. It feels good to keep killing trash like him.

It was difficult for Zhou Shu to choose which sword to use to send Yao Lian on his way.

There's no need to choose. I'll use all of them!

If I use three swords at the same time to kill Yao Lian, I wonder if I'll get a reward for each?

Zhou Shu was amused by the thought of the three swords stuck in Yao Lian's body.
