Legendary Armament Canon - Chapter 441
Chapter 441: Demon Queen and Human Pet (1)
Zhou Shu wasn’t someone who liked to take risks. If he could seek stability, he was naturally unwilling to take a risk.
But he was behind enemy lines. In this situation, he had no better idea.
After hearing Zhou Shu’s method, Meng Bai’s expression was solemn. “How confident are you, Your Highness?”
“I don’t know,” Zhou Shu said. “I’ve never fought a Demon King before. I’m not too sure how strong they are.”
“Your Highness, with all due respect…” Meng Bai said. “… all the people of the Ten Nations Alliance combined are not as honorable as you. There’s no need for you to take the risk.
“If it’s really necessary, we can just fight to the death with the Demon Realm army. With your cultivation, no one can take you down. You have to keep yourself alive…”
“Don’t say such things again.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “If I want to leave, I can leave at any time. Even a Demon King might not be able to stop me. If things really get out of hand, I’ll definitely leave.
“However, although a Demon King is strong, I might be able to fight one. Besides, we might not actually run into a Demon King, right?”
Meng Bai smiled bitterly. Do you think it’s possible not to encounter a Demon King?
“Your Highness, you must promise me that if you’re not a match for a Demon King, then you must leave!” Meng Bai knew that he couldn’t change Zhou Shu’s decision, so he could only persuade him.
“Don’t worry. I still care about my own life,” Zhou Shu said. “Great General, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. I might be able to defeat a Demon King.”
…
Behind them, the Demon Realm army refused to let go of the Ten Nations Alliance. The hundred-plus first-rank demonic beasts flew in the air and followed the Demon Realm army unhurriedly.
With their cultivation, if they really unleashed their speed, they would have long caught up to the human army.
But they had some reservations. Facing Zhou Shu, even if they had the advantage in numbers, they didn’t dare to be careless.
It wasn’t easy for them to cultivate to the first rank of the Martial Dao. No one wanted to die easily.
“Up ahead is Lady Tushan’s territory. Lady Tushan doesn’t like outsiders…” A first-rank demonic beast suddenly looked ahead and frowned. “Is the human army going to enter Lady Tushan’s territory?”
“Isn’t that perfect?” another first-rank demonic beast said. “If he angers Lady Tushan, no matter how powerful that human is, he will only die!”
“Foolish!” the first-rank demonic beast who spoke first said angrily. “What do you think Lady Tushan will think if they run into her territory? We were the ones who chased them to her territory. Do you think we can get away with it?”
“Damn it. We have to stop them from entering Lady Tushan’s territory. Otherwise, we’ll have to suffer the consequences!”
The expressions of the first-rank demonic beasts changed drastically.
“Hurry!”
They were anxious. They no longer cared about following the army slowly forward. They unleashed their speed and rushed toward the Ten Nations Alliance.
Zhou Shu had already noticed their movements.
“We don’t have time. Let’s go!” Zhou Shu shouted and stepped out of the crowd. The earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword transformed into a sword beam that filled the sky and blocked the first-rank demonic beasts.
Boom!
“Criminal Army, bring up the rear!” Xiao Jianghe shouted as the Seven Seas Dragon Armor on his body shone brightly. He soared into the sky to help Zhou Shu.
The Criminal Army stopped and turned back, ready to fight.
“Charge! Don’t let our brothers’ sacrifices go to waste!”
The other Ten Nations soldiers rushed forward with tears in their eyes.
Boom!
Xiao Jianghe was hit by dozens of divine powers and was sent flying backward. Even with the protection of the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor, he spat out blood.
Facing more than a hundred first-rank demonic beasts, even with Zhou Shu taking away most of the pressure, the rest was not something an ordinary first-rank martial artist like Xiao Jianghe could withstand.
In just one exchange, he had already lost the ability to participate in the battle.
“Heaven Slaying Sword Art!” Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes, and his body shone brightly. A sword beam rushed toward a first-rank demonic beast.
At the same time, a golden light flashed on his body, and his skin seemed to turn into metal.
Boom!
Facing the divine power of a hundred first-rank demonic beasts, he didn’t dodge and still slashed out firmly.
With a loud bang, Zhou Shu retreated. A bloody mark appeared on the glabella of a first-rank demonic beast. The bloody mark continued to spread, and then his body split into two.
Zhou Shu flew back hundreds of feet and steadied himself. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had killed a first-rank demonic beast. Ever since he entered the Demon Realm, this was the first first-rank demonic beast to die under his sword!
The first-rank demonic beasts, who had just regained some confidence, finally remembered the scene of Zhou Shu slaughtering countless demonic beasts on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield. Their hearts turned cold, and they involuntarily retreated dozens of feet.
“Winning with numbers, huh?” Zhou Shu said coldly as he placed his sword in front of him. “It’s true that I can’t kill all of you, but half of you have to die with me. Who do you think they will be?”
Zhou Shu’s face was a little pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. But even so, no one dared to underestimate him.
The first-rank demonic beast had just fallen to the ground.
“Come on!” Zhou Shu shouted. “If you don’t dare, get lost!”
Zhou Shu’s back straightened. He was like an unsheathed sword, sharp and threatening, making one unable to look at him directly.
