Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 825 Time Is Like A Saber, Each Saber Urging One To Age (2)

As his saber fragmented, it disappeared into the river of time.

As for the Demon King, his face was full of fear. When the wind blew, he also turned into fine dust and disappeared.

The Demon King was eliminated with one slash!

Zhou Shu's black hair also turned white with this slash.

The Heavenly Emperor Jade Book, the laws of time, applied to both enemy and self.

While killing the Demon King, Zhou Shu was also greatly affected.

Of course, this was mainly because his cultivation was insufficient and he had forcefully used the Heavenly Emperor Jade Book. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been affected like this.

Panting slightly, Zhou Shu swayed a few times before barely stabilizing himself.

He looked at the battlefield not far away. This time, he was really powerless to participate in the battle. But being able to kill a Demon King finally relieved some of the pressure on Ji Lutian, Zheng Chengan, and the others.

With the people from the grotto-heavens constantly rushing over, it shouldn't be a problem to stabilize the situation, even if they couldn't completely eradicate these demonic beasts stranded on the Ten Nations Continent.

"Let's retreat!" Zhou Shu said to Shi Songtao, who had rushed over to support him. "Tell the generals to retreat too."

He added softly, "By the way, bring Hu Li along."

He pointed at Hu Li, who was lying on the ground like a pile of rotten meat.

…

The war was still ongoing, but it was far less tragic than it had been at the beginning.

Both sides had entered a tug-of-war. Be it humans or demonic beasts, they began to fight steadily. The humans were forming an encirclement, while the demonic beasts were constantly gaining a foothold.

This made everyone realize that although the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm army had all become crazy beasts, they were not completely undisciplined. If the humans treated them like beasts, they would suffer greatly.

Not only were these demonic beasts large and powerful, but they were also being controlled and did things in an orderly manner. These controllers were the true enemies of the human race.

After Zhou Shu led the forgers away from the battlefield, he no longer worried about these problems.

In any case, the people of the grotto-heavens were not useless. Zhang Jiping and Ji Lutian were not ordinary people. With them in front, they would definitely be able to handle the situation.

The Two Region Mountain retreated dozens of kilometers away. There were no other demonic beasts around. Zhou Shu came in front of Hu Li and asked, "Hu Li, how are you?"

Hu Li had thick skin and flesh. Even after being beaten to this state, his aura was still strong, and he didn't look like he would die anytime soon.

"Who are you?" Although Hu Li's tone was weak, he still spoke with a hint of strength.

He looked askance at Zhou Shu, as if to say, Who are you? Why should I tell you?

"Me?" Only then did Zhou Shu realize that he had his previous life's appearance. Hu Li definitely didn't know him.

Zhou Shu smiled faintly. "I personally forged your Heavenly Dragon Slayer. Who do you think I am?"

"Shi Changsheng?" Hu Li said in surprise. "I came to find you! How did you become like this?"

He was a little puzzled, but he instantly figured it out. "I remember now. You turned into Yao Qing and lied to me. You can transform!"

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. Isn't your reaction a little too slow?

"Why are you looking for me?" Zhou Shu asked directly. "Also, why did you suddenly fall out with the demonic beasts?"

"Damn it." Hu Li cursed before continuing, "Those bastards don't value the lives of demonic beasts. Of course I have to fight them!"

Zhou Shu's face darkened. You don't seem to take the lives of ordinary demonic beasts seriously either. You killed them incomparably ferociously…

But Zhou Shu also understood what Hu Li meant. Hu Li meant that he didn't want to see the demonic beasts being controlled. He just couldn't stand the high and mighty behavior of those Demon Kings.

"Seriously, why are you looking for me?" Zhou Shu continued to ask. When dealing with Hu Li, he couldn't beat around the bush. Hu Li wouldn't be able to understand, so he had to go straight to the point.

"I need your help," Hu Li said matter-of-factly. "Let me tell you. I know how those bastard Demon Kings control demonic beasts. I want to wake them up, but I can't do it myself, so I came to you for help.

"I've thought about it for a long time. No one else can help me. I'm sure you can do it. I believe in you."

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes at him. Do I need you to believe in me?

But he was very interested in what Hu Li said.

Does he know how these demonic beasts lost their minds?

According to what he knew, the reason why demonic beasts lost their rationality was related to the heavenly slaves. This was a method used by Heaven to control demonic beasts. How did Hu Li know?

"Hu Li, how do those Demon Kings control demonic beasts?" Zhou Shu asked. "Do you know how to break this control?"

"Of course. Who am I? Do those bastards think they can hide it from me? In their dreams."

"Let's get to the point," Zhou Shu said.

"Let me tell you. The one controlling the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm is a Demon King. As long as you kill this Demon King, the demonic beasts will come back to their senses," Hu Li said mysteriously.

"Oh? Have you seen this Demon King?" Zhou Shu was puzzled.

"Yes! Not only have I seen him, but I've even fought him," Hu Li said. "This fellow's cultivation is about the same as mine. In a one-on-one battle, I can kill him alone, but he has no martial virtue. He has more than ten powerful Demon Kings guarding him…

"Shi Changsheng, come with me. Help me block the dozen or so Demon Kings and let me kill him!"

Hu Li gritted his teeth. "All the demonic beasts became wild beasts because of this bastard. This is intolerable!"

Zhou Shu frowned slightly. According to Hu Li, the one controlling the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm is only a Demon King? The other Demon Kings are only vassals?

This isn't impossible.

But if this is true, the defense around the Demon King is probably extraordinary. I can't do anything to more than ten powerful Demon Kings.

"Hu Li, how did you escape with more than ten powerful Demon Kings?" Zhou Shu asked curiously.

Even if Zhou Shu encountered more than ten powerful Demon Kings, he didn't have much confidence in escaping unscathed. Hu Li's strength was only average. If not for the Heavenly Dragon Slayer, it would have been impossible for him to kill within the Demon Realm army earlier.

How could he escape the pursuit of more than ten powerful Demon Kings?

"Heh, it's nothing much," Hu Li said. "They're always guarding one place and don't dare to move too far. I ran away. They couldn't chase me."

Zhou Shu was deep in thought. Hu Li's ability to describe was really not good, but Zhou Shu could barely understand what he meant. The Demon King who might have caused all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm to lose their consciousness was average in strength, but more than ten powerful Demon Kings were protecting. For some reason, these Demon Kings had to stay in a fixed area. This might also be related to the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm losing their consciousness.

If these crazy demonic beasts could regain their rationality, at least they wouldn't be as fearless when fighting as they were now.

Demonic beasts who were not afraid of death were completely different from demonic beasts who were afraid of death.

The news brought by Hu Li was very important.

He wondered if Ji Lutian and the others knew.

And Wang Xuanyi… If he could invite Wang Xuanyi to help, the more than ten powerful Demon Kings were nothing to fear.

But for some reason, Wang Xuanyi didn't appear at such a critical moment previously.

"I understand what you're saying. Take a rest first. I need to discuss this with some people before deciding what to do."

Zhou Shu pondered. He had to communicate with Ji Lutian and the others about this matter. It was best to let the people of the grotto-heavens do this while he forged weapons in the back.

Fighting and killing were not things that forgers should do…
