Chapter 188 - First Kill of the Shadow Sword (2)

Chapter 188 First Kill of the Shadow Sword (2)

“Xiao Shunzhi!” Zhou Shu said coldly. He slowly squatted down and carefully placed Yin Wuyou on the ground before taking the Shadow Sword from her hand.

“Wait for me,” Zhou Shu said gently.

He stood up again and looked at Xiao Shunzhi.

“Xiao Shunzhi!” Zhou Shu shouted again. “It’s the second time!

“You came back from the dead, right? Then I’ll kill you again!”

Zhou Shu stamped his right foot, and his entire body instantly disappeared.

Almost at the same time, he already appeared in front of Xiao Shunzhi.

Boom!

Xiao Shunzhi had just raised the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber when he felt a strong force on his chest. His body flew up involuntarily.

Puu

Xiao Shunzhi spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he could react, a figure appeared before him.

A foot appeared in his vision and stomped on his chest.

With a loud bang, Xiao Shunzhi fell from the sky, directly creating a foot-deep pit in the ground.

Xiao Shunzhi appeared both distressed and angry. He struggled with all his might, but the foot stepping on his chest was like a massive mountain, and he could barely breathe.

“Is this the price you have to pay for coming back from the dead? Second-rank martial artist?”

While stepping on Xiao Shunzhi, Zhou Shu also discovered the abnormality.

Although he had killed Xiao Shunzhi last time, he had gone through a bitter battle with him.

Although his cultivation level had increased slightly during this period of time, it didn’t increase much. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be so easy for him to defeat Xiao Shunzhi.

But Xiao Shunzhi couldn’t even receive a single attack from him. He was clearly not a first-rank martial artist.

Instantly, a thought appeared in Zhou Shu’s mind. It seems that after Xiao Shunzhi came back from the dead, his cultivation level fell a rank.

To the current Zhou Shu, a second-rank martial artist posed no threat at all.

Moreover, Xiao Shunzhi and Yin Wuyou had been fighting for a long time, and he had already consumed most of his spiritual essence.

Facing the furious Zhou Shu, being defeated in one move was not strange at all.

“Who exactly are you?!” Xiao Shunzhi angrily. He couldn’t struggle. He didn’t even know where the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber had flown to.

Where did this expert come from?

There shouldn’t be such an expert in Great Xia.

“I guess you really don’t remember,” Zhou Shu said coldly. Previously, he had probed Shen Yue and discovered that after coming back from the dead, he seemed to have forgotten some things.

Now that Xiao Shunzhi didn’t recognize him, it further proved this point.

He was relieved.

“Xiao Shunzhi, if you died, you should have just stayed dead. Why did you come back to life?”

Zhou Shu raised the Shadow Sword in his hand and stabbed at Xiao Shunzhi’s throat.

Xiao Shunzhi’s eyes instantly widened. “Wait _ 11

His throat was pierced by a sword, and he was unable to make any sound.

He was going crazy. Is he going to kill me just like that?

Shouldn’t we discuss terms first? I haven’t even begged for mercy!

Swish!

Zhou Shu moved his hand and chopped off Xiao Shunzhi’s head.

Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, then stabbed out with his sword again. A burst of sword qi exploded, directly blowing Xiao Shunzhi’s head into a pile of mashed-up flesh.

Let’s see if you can revive this time! Zhou Shu snorted coldly.

(The Shadow Sword you forged effectively completed a kill…]

A barrage of messages flashed in front of Zhou Shu, and the Legendary Armament Canon appeared in front of him.

After flipping to the page of the Shadow Sword, the number for its upgrade condition changed from zero to one.

The Legendary Armament Canon once again acknowledged Xiao Shunzhi’s death.

But Zhou Shu couldn’t be certain that Xiao Shunzhi would really be unable to revive again.

He still didn’t understand the principle behind Xiao Shunzhi and Shen Yue coming back to life.

Hmph, if you come back to life again, I’ll kill you again! If you come back once, I’ll kill you once. If you come back twice, I’ll kill you twice! Let’s see how many times you can revive! The killing intent in Zhou Shu’s heart was firm. He absolutely wouldn’t allow Xiao Shunzhi to live!

Before Zhou Shu could check what the benefit from the Legendary Armament Canon was, he suddenly heard movement in the distance.

Lu Wenshuang is here!

Zhou Shu looked at Yin Wuyou and hesitated for a moment. The next moment, he disappeared in a flash.

Just as Zhou Shu disappeared, Lu Wenshuang descended from the sky.

When Lu Wenshuang saw Yin Wuyou on the ground, her icy expression changed slightly.

She moved to Yin Wuyou’s side and felt her breath before heaving a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, Lu Wenshuang took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a medicinal pill, and stuffed it into Yin Wuyou’s mouth.

With her status, it wasn’t strange at all for her to carry healing pills with her. Although the effects couldn’t compare to Zhou Shu’s Breakthrough Pill, Yin Wuyou’s injuries were not as serious this time.

After examining Yin Wuyou’s injuries, Lu Wenshuang relaxed slightly. Only now did she have the mood to look at the headless corpse in the distance. The pile of flesh at the side should be the head. The head seemed to have been blown up by sword qi.

The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique?

Lu Wenshuang was very sensitive to sword intent. Just by sensing it, she felt that it was very familiar.

Isn’t this the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique that Zhou Shu used?

But compared to the sword intent Zhou Shu had used to spar with her, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.

It’s that expert!

Lu Wenshuang’s pupils constricted as the silhouette of a peerless swordsman appeared in her mind.

According to the legends, this mysterious expert had once severed the arm of Great Wei’s imperial preceptor. He had even accepted a disciple on behalf of his master and taught Zhou Shu the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique. She didn’t expect him to reappear and kill Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi!

What sword did he use this time? Lu Wenshuang was curious.

She glanced at the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber not far away.

The Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber lay on the ground, and it didn’t look like a heaven-grade weapon at all.

Lu Wenshuang only glanced at it and ignored it. It wasn’t that Lu Wenshuang couldn’t recognize that it was a heaven-grade long saber.

It was because she had no interest in weapons other than swords.

So what if it was a heaven-grade weapon?

It wasn’t a sword, so Miss Lu couldn’t even be bothered to look at it.

Strange. With Wuyou’s cultivation, how could she last so long against Xiao Shunzhi? Did the mysterious expert appear from the start?

A thought flashed across Lu Wenshuang’s mind, but she didn’t think too deeply about it.

After checking her surroundings, she didn’t find anything unusual.

Lu Wenshuang returned to Yin Wuyou’s side, carried the unconscious Yin Wuyou on her back, and walked toward Hangu Pass.

Only Xiao Shunzhi’s headless corpse and pieces of flesh were left on the spot.

And the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber was completely ignored… While carrying Yin Wuyou on her back, Lu Wenshuang bumped into the panting Zhou Shu halfway back.

“I’ve finally found you.” Zhou Shu panted heavily. “Is the grand minister alright?”

He looked worriedly at Yin Wuyou on Lu Wenshuang’s back.

“She won’t die,” Lu Wenshuang said casually, “You came alone?”

She frowned. Powerful demonic beasts could appear at any time in this forest. Isn’t he courting death running around like this?

“No, I met my senior brother.” Zhou Shu spouted nonsense. “You know my senior brother, right? He told me that everything is fine.”

“Where is he?” Lu Wenshuang’s eyes lit up as she looked around.

“Can I see him?” Lu Wenshuang said in a rare pleading tone.

“Too late. He’s already gone. Maybe next time,” Zhou Shu said casually.

Disappointment flashed across Lu Wenshuang’s eyes as she said coldly, “Then let’s go. It’s almost dawn!”

Traveling hundreds of miles in a single night was not an easy task for Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang, even with their cultivation bases.

The sky was already bright when they returned to the camp in front of Hangu Pass.

Shi Songtao was standing at the entrance of the main camp.

As soon as he saw Zhou Shu, he couldn’t help saying, “Marquis! Your Shadow Sword ranks first in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!”

Shi Songtao’s expression was very complicated.

Now, he realized that he no longer felt any envy toward Zhou Shu.

Only when their levels were about the same would one be envious. If the difference in levels was too great, one wouldn’t be envious. One would only look up to them!
