Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 839 Playing Them Off Against Themselves, Divergence (2)

"Great Xia is duty-bound to resist the demonic beasts. Our Great Xia's King of the South killed Demon Kings in battle. Even you don't have such achievements," Meng Bai said coldly. "If you want to settle personal scores using your official capacity, then Great Xia will definitely accompany you to the end!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Mu and Bai Qiancheng, who were standing behind him, erupted with powerful auras.

Although their cultivation was more than one level lower than these grotto-heaven leaders, even Tang Qianluo and the others didn't dare to ignore the indomitable aura on their bodies.

"Everyone, calm down." Zhang Jiping of the Xuande Grotto-Heaven shook his head. "Be it the grotto-heaven or the various nations, we are all united now. Our goal is to resist the demonic beasts.

"Brother Tang, the conflict between you and Zhou Shu is just a small matter. If you refuse to let go of it, it will be ungraceful of you."

Zhang Jiping's words were very harsh. It was almost equivalent to scolding Tang Qianluo in front of everyone.

Over and over again, Tang Qianluo's pettiness annoyed Zhang Jiping. Everyone is working together now to deal with the demonic beasts. But your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was stingy when it was time to contribute forging materials. You even said that Zheng Chengan and the others robbed your storehouse. As the leader of a grotto-heaven, you specially targeted a junior from the secular world to cause trouble. Do you really think we don't know why?

Wasn't it just for a Divine Stone?

To be honest, Zhang Jiping really looked down on Tang Qianluo.

Tang Qianluo's face was ashen, and he was fuming with anger. If not for the other grotto-heavens' leaders shaking their heads at him, he would have fallen out with Zhang Jiping.

What did I do?

Am I wrong?

One of the most important reasons why the Demon Realm army has such offensive power is that they are unafraid of death.

It's precisely because they've all gone crazy that they're unafraid of death and pain. When fighting, they can unleash 120% of their strength.

Since that bastard surnamed Zhou grasps the method to wake the demonic beasts up, why doesn't he offer it?

Tang Qianluo snorted and smacked the wall.

Crack! A clear handprint appeared on the wall.

Zhang Jiping frowned. Just as he was about to speak, a loud bang suddenly came from ahead.

More than a hundred powerful Demon Kings arrived in the air and stopped when they were a few hundreds of meters away from the wall.

A Demon King stepped out and looked at Zhang Jiping and the others. "Zhang Jiping, come out and talk!"

? Zhang Jiping's pupils constricted. He flew up, stood in the air, and stared at the Demon King coldly. "Ao Guang, what do you want?!"

"Hand over that human, and I can give you another three months," the Demon King called Ao Guang said coldly. "It's a good deal, one human in exchange for three months."

"Which human?" Zhang Jiping frowned.

"Stop pretending," Ao Guang said coldly. "Hand over the forger who controls the power of time, and the Demon Realm army will temporarily retreat and come back in three months.

"You only have one chance. You have to seize it!"

"Agree to it!" Tang Qianluo shouted.

Three months was enough for the citizens of the Ten Nations to evacuate into the grotto-heavens. Countless people would be able to live!

Using a life to exchange for the lives of countless people was worth it!

Zhang Jiping's expression darkened as he looked at Tang Qianluo. "Brother Tang, are you serious?"

"Zhang Jiping, don't be stupid!" Tang Qianluo said seriously. "In three months, we can evacuate all the citizens of the Ten Nations into the grotto-heavens. This is billions of lives. Don't you know how to choose?

"Even if you want to protect Zhou Shu, you have to have the ability. Can you withstand this demonic beast tide of the Demon Realm?"

The other grotto-heavens' leaders looked conflicted.

As Tang Qianluo had said, it was indeed very difficult to choose between one person and billions of people.

Zhang Jiping's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Old Zhang, are you serious?" Zheng Chengan said loudly. "You want to compromise with the demonic beasts? Hand over the human to the demonic beasts? How can you actually think of that?! If you hand over Zhou Shu today, will you hand over others next time the demonic beasts ask you?"

"What we lack now is time!" a grotto-heaven leader said.

Meng Bai and the others felt a chill run down their spines. They noticed that, unknowingly, several grotto-heavens' leaders were already standing on Tang Qianluo's side.

"Ao Guang!" Tang Qianluo said loudly. "Three months is too short. If we hand Zhou Shu over to you, you need to retreat to the Demon Realm for a year!

"For a year, you are not allowed to attack the human race!"

Ao Guang's expression didn't change as he smiled coldly. "So be it. What's wrong with letting you live another year?"

Tang Qianluo turned to look at Zhang Jiping. "Zhang Jiping, what do you say? We can do so much in a year. Is it worth giving it up just for Zhou Shu?"

Zhang Jiping's expression became a little conflicted. How could he not know how important a year was to the human race?

In a year, they could make sufficient preparations to deal with this heavenly crack.

Although Zhou Shu had figured out a way to wake demonic beasts up, before handing him over, they could make him hand over the method. As long as they had the method, it didn't matter if he was around or not.

Zhang Jiping gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with struggle. He had already come to a conclusion in his heart, but it wasn't that easy to make this decision.

Zheng Chengan was furious when he saw Zhang Jiping's expression. "You bastards, if you can compromise once, you can compromise countless times. If you can send Zhou Shu this time, then the next time, you might be sent out yourself! You're asking a tiger for its skin!"

"Enough!" Zhang Jiping shouted. "Zheng Chengan, we're all doing this for the human race!"

"For the human race? What a 'great' cause!" Zheng Chengan was furious. "Why don't you die for the sake of the human race?"

"If I die and can buy a year for the human race, so what if I hand over my life?" Zhang Jiping said angrily.

He said righteously, "For the sake of the human race, sacrifices are inevitable. This time, it's Zhou Shu. Next time, it might be you and me. I, Zhang Jiping, am already prepared to die!"

Zheng Chengan was furious, but he sadly realized that the leaders of the grotto-heavens were not on his side.

"You're drinking poison to quench your thirst!" Zheng Chengan roared. "The future of the human race is not something that can be returned by kowtowing! We should defeat them and destroy them!"

"Everything we do now is to defeat them," Zhang Jiping said coldly. "It's just a small sacrifice. For victory, I won't hesitate.

"Hmph, you make it sound so nice. Since you're talking about sacrifice, have you asked Zhou Shu for his opinion?" Zheng Chengan said angrily.

"He's just an Earth Immortal. What objections can he have? He should be honored to be able to sacrifice himself for the human race!" Tang Qianluo said coldly.

"Zhang Jiping, what's your decision?" Ao Guang asked. Following his voice, the countless crazy demonic beasts behind roared in unison. The roar shook the world, causing everyone's expressions to change.

The beast tide from the Demon Realm was so ferocious that their current preparations were far from enough.

They were really short of time.

"Where is Zhou Shu?" Zhang Jiping said solemnly.

"A hundred kilometers behind, on that mountain," Tang Qianluo said with a cold gaze.

"Ao Guang!" Zhang Jiping raised his voice. "We can hand Zhou Shu over to you, but we hope you will keep your promise!"

Ao Guang laughed loudly. "Don't worry. I'll keep my word. I'll give you a year!"

"Very well! Brother Tang, please bring Zhou Shu over," Zhang Jiping said solemnly. "Secret technique!"

He secretly transmitted the last two words.

Tang Qianluo understood and smiled coldly. He flew toward the Two Region Mountain with a few grotto-heaven leaders.

On the Two Region Mountain, Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian were standing side by side.

Even from a hundred kilometers away, the two of them could clearly see what was happening on the wall.

Ao Guang was so loud that it was difficult for them not to hear him.

Ji Lutian glanced at Zhou Shu. "Are you disappointed?"
