Chapter 406: Real and Fake Imperial Cauldron, Slaying Yao Lian (1)

Just as Zhou Shu was about to leave the camp, Xiao Jianghe, wearing the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor, chased after Zhou Shu and shouted, “Your Highness, the Criminal Army requests to fight!”

“Fight what?” Zhou Shu said angrily. “I want to have a fair fight with Yao Lian. Do you want me to bear the reputation of not having any martial virtue?”

“Your Highness, you can’t talk about martial virtue with demonic beasts!” Shi Songtao shouted.

They were demonic beasts, not humans. Why bother talking about martial virtue?

If Shi Songtao had his way, Zhou Shu shouldn’t have let Yao Lian go. He should have just killed him!

“That’s right, King of the South. How can you guarantee that Yao Lian will really come alone? He might bring the Demon Realm army to ambush you,” Meng Bai said. “In my opinion, Your Highness should bring the Criminal Army along. We’ll be at the rear, ready to provide support.

“Even if Yao Lian really comes alone, the million-strong Demon Realm army might not care about marital virtue,” Wang Mu interjected. “Once Yao Lian is defeated, they will very likely interfere.”

“And then? You’ll all attack together, and then we’ll fight the Demon Realm army to the death?” Zhou Shu asked. “With our current strength, what do you think we can do against the million-strong Demon Realm army? Can we completely destroy them? Or can we drive them back to the Demon Realm?”

Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and the others fell silent.

They couldn’t do either of these things.

The Demon Realm army numbered as many as a million, and their Ten Nations Alliance had only gathered 50,000 to 60,000 people until now. Half of them were from the Criminal Army.

If they really fought now, the chances of the human army being defeated were definitely more than 50%.

It was impossible for Zhou Shu to defeat an army of a million demonic beasts alone.

......

“But Zhou Shu, whether a decisive battle erupts or not isn’t up to us,” Yin Wuyou interrupted. “If you go and fight Yao Lian, we can’t guarantee that the Demon Realm army won’t interfere. What if they attack directly?”

As soon as Zhou Shu let Yao Lian go, they no longer had a hostage, and the Demon Realm army could attack at any time.

“Do you think that the Demon Realm army can wait forever if we don’t release Yao Lian?” Zhou Shu said. “That’s impossible. The patience of the Demon Realm army won’t last long.

“The war will break out sooner or later. It won’t stop just because we don’t want it to. We can’t just stop eating because we choke, can we?”

Zhou Shu smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ve carefully considered this before letting Yao Lian go. If we’re lucky, we might be able to solve the problem of the Demon Realm army this time.”

Everyone looked at Zhou Shu in confusion.

Zhou Shu smiled mysteriously and didn’t explain much. “Just guard the camp well.

“If the Demon Realm army dares to attack the camp, beat them to death. We must show the glory of our Ten Nations Alliance!”

With that, Zhou Shu took a step and soared into the sky.

Xiao Jianghe wanted to say something, but Zhou Shu’s figure had already disappeared into the air. Even if he wanted to chase after him, he couldn’t.

“General Xiao!” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.

“Here!” Xiao Jianghe said.

“Although His Highness said that there’s no need to receive him, I’ll still have to trouble you to lead the Criminal Army thirty kilometers away to receive His Highness!”

“Alright,” Xiao Jianghe said seriously.

“Generals, we have to be ready for war.” Meng Bai looked at the others.

“We are already prepared.” Wang Mu and Tang Chengshi were both brimming with fighting spirit.

…

The camp entered a battle preparation stage. Zhou Shu used the divine ability Unstoppable For a Thousand Miles and arrived at the camp of the Demon Realm army.

Ten kilometers away, he stopped in the air.

“Yao Lian, are you ready to die?!” Zhou Shu shouted.

In the distant Demon Realm camp, a figure soared into the sky.

It was the Great Demon Yao Lian!

At this moment, Yao Lian’s image had changed drastically.

His skin had turned dark and was covered in intricate patterns.

A horn had grown out of his head. It was obvious that he was not a human but a demonic beast.

Yao Lian’s aura surged.

He was now at his strongest!

When he fought Zhou Shu previously, he hadn’t even had the chance to restore his true demonic beast form before he was defeated by Zhou Shu.

This time, Yao Lian had learned his lesson. As soon as he came up, he directly changed to his true form and raised his strength to the maximum.

Seeing Yao Lian like this, Zhou Shu nodded in satisfaction.

All he wanted was for him to use his full strength!

“Yao Lian, you have a fake imperial cauldron on you, right? Use it. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to use it.” Zhou Shu smiled.

“Hmph!” Yao Lian snorted coldly. He didn’t need Zhou Shu’s reminder. When he was still hundreds of meters away from Zhou Shu, he had already begun to summon the fake imperial cauldron.

A small cauldron appeared on his chest. The cauldron was absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. Then, as if it was about to fuse with the world, its aura continued to rise.

Demons generally didn’t use weapons. But any demon who used a weapon would definitely be a powerhouse.

Yao Lian was very strong. Even in the Demon Realm, he was one of the stronger ones.
