"Your Excellency, can you spare Tang Lan on my account?" said the person who came.
Zhou Shu looked at this man coldly. "Why should I give you face? Move aside. I may know you, but my sword doesn't."
The man's expression froze. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this.
But he had to endure it. Zhou Shu had this strength.
The master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had already been defeated by him. If he hadn't rushed over, Tang Lan might have even become the first Grotto-Heaven Master to die at the hands of the human race.
With Zhou Shu's strength, he was already qualified to talk to them as equals.
The man looked at Zhou Shu and said sincerely, "Tang Lan is a Grotto-Heaven Master, and Grotto-Heaven Masters are the pillars of our human race. Any Grotto-Heaven Master is a treasure of our human race.
"Therefore, nothing can happen to Tang Lan."
"Do you think I'll let Tang Lan off just because you said that?" Zhou Shu sneered. "What does it have to do with me whether Grotto-Heaven Masters are treasures of the human race or not?"
"Are you not human?" the man said with a frown.
"Whether I'm human or not has nothing to do with you!" Zhou Shu interrupted. "I'll say it one last time. Move!"
The Celestial Thearch Sword shone brightly, and the sword qi let out a sizzling sound, cutting through the air and even space.
Zhou Shu almost attacked.
The man didn't expect Zhou Shu to be so disrespectful.
He had thought that since he had come forward, today's matter would be resolved no matter what.
"Must you really kill him?" His expression also turned cold. "You have to know that since I'm already here, I definitely won't allow you to hurt Tang Lan.
"You might already have the strength of a Grotto-Heaven Master, but there are differences even between Grotto-Heaven Masters. Just because you defeated Tang Lan doesn't mean you're invincible."
"Do you Grotto-Heaven Masters really think that the human race will be doomed without you? Do you self-righteous bastards really think that you're the ones protecting the human race?"
Zhou Shu pointed to the surroundings and said coldly, "Without the sacrifices of the human warriors, without their bloody battles… Do you think the human race exists just because of a few Grotto-Heaven Masters like you?!
"Don't act all high and mighty in front of me. I know all too well what kind of people you are."
Zhou Shu shouted coldly, "Get lost!"
The Celestial Thearch Sword slashed out.
The sword beam tore through the air and headed for the man's head.
His strike was not to kill but to give this person a warning.
The man frowned and raised his hand to block Zhou Shu's sword beam.
"You're definitely not a match for two Grotto-Heaven Masters alone," the man said coldly. "If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."
A towering aura rose from his body, and a saber appeared in his hand.
His aura erupted. He was a true Grotto-Heaven Master.I think you should take a look at
Apart from the shocking battle more than a hundred years ago, it was almost impossible to see Grotto-Heaven Masters.
Most of the time, they were either sleeping or cultivating in seclusion. In short, they rarely traveled the world.
As long as the human race was not in danger of being exterminated, they wouldn't take action easily.
No one expected two Grotto-Heaven Masters to appear here at the same time!
There were only around a dozen known Grotto-Heaven Masters left in the entire human race.
Facing the two Grotto-Heaven Masters, Zhou Shu was fearless. He had no intention of stopping.
The light on the Celestial Thearch Sword became even more intense. Without any hesitation, the Celestial Thearch Sword charged toward the man.
Zhou Shu didn't care if this fellow was a Grotto-Heaven Master or if he was a pillar of the human race.
What he had to do now was to make the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven pay the price for the sacrifices of his brothers. Anyone who stopped him would be an obstacle that had to be kicked away!
After experiencing the apocalypse ten thousand years ago, for Zhou Shu, nothing was more important than his brothers and family.
Anyone who wanted to hurt the people around him had to die!
No one could save the person he wanted to kill!
Boom!
The Celestial Thearch Sword and the man who appeared later collided with a loud bang.
They each took a step back.
"On account that you're also a Grotto-Heaven Master, I'll let bygones be bygones. In the future, we'll protect the human race together. I can promise you that you can share all the authority of the Grotto-Heaven Masters."
The man stared at Zhou Shu coldly. "If you stop now, it's not too late. Don't make a mistake!"
"I'll say the same thing to you," Zhou Shu said coldly. "Move aside, or I'll treat you as Tang Lan's accomplice. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
His aura rose steadily again. He was actually becoming stronger.
The man frowned. Zhou Shu was even more difficult to deal with than he had expected. Where did Tang Lan provoke such a stubborn bastard?
Damn it! The man cursed in his heart, but now was not the time to blame Tang Lan.
Grotto-Heaven Masters were very difficult to deal with. If they really let go of all restraints and fought, they would definitely cause immense damage.
Even he didn't dare to bear the consequences rashly.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he was really unwilling to fight to the death.
If he won, there wouldn't be much benefit. If he lost, he would lose all his face.
Why would he risk his life for something that had nothing to do with him?
