Chapter 134: Sword Completed, Assassin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In his consciousness, Zhou Shu felt as if he was in the starry sky, and in front of him was the silhouette of a human emitting a faint glow.

There were bright lines on the body of the human silhouette. On the lines, there were bright spots. It was as if the human body’s meridians had been conjured.

Zhou Shu was holding a brush in his hand, and on the tip of the brush was the liquid formed from the Heaven Refining Stone.

He used the Heaven Refining Stone to light up a bright spot in the body of the human silhouette, and the outline of the human silhouette instantly became slightly brighter.

All of this was in Zhou Shu’s mind.

If someone was watching from the side, they would only see the Heaven Refining Stone wrapped in Zhou Shu’s spiritual essence and forming drops of liquid. Then under the might of the True Fire, they would fuse into the Great Destroyer Sword.

With each drop, the Great Destroyer Sword trembled slightly as if it was undergoing some sort of transformation.

One drop, two drops…

In Zhou Shu’s mind, he casually waved his brush in the air, and each move did not take much time.

But in the outside world, it took at least two hours for each drop of Heaven Refining Stone liquid to fuse with the Great Destroyer Sword.

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Shu felt that he had exhausted the spiritual essence in his body and had no choice but to withdraw from the carefree feeling of splashing the liquid.

As soon as he left this state, Zhou Shu felt a strong sense of exhaustion wash over him.

Since he started cultivating, it had been a long time since he felt this way.

He was so tired that he didn’t even want to move his fingers, and his head was hurting even more.

Unknowingly, not only was the spiritual essence in his body completely depleted, but even his consciousness was almost depleted.

The fatigue brought about by his exhausted spirit was something that even his powerful physical body couldn’t resist.

Zhou Shu forced himself to sit up. He didn’t even bother checking on the situation with the Great Destroyer Sword before beginning to cultivate the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form.

The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form was the strongest among the few techniques he currently cultivated, but it was also the weakest.

The main reason was that there were too few kills with the Spring Embroidered Saber.

The constables of the Divine Constable Bureau had fewer chances to kill than the soldiers in the army.

As he activated the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, his consciousness slowly recovered, and the fatigue in his body gradually disappeared.

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Shu opened his eyes again. He looked at the Great Destroyer Sword and smiled bitterly.

With the assistance of my divine sense, I can see the internal structure of the sword. It’s not difficult to locate the star positions, but it’s already so exhausting. I really don’t know how other Forging Masters forge ranked weapons.

Other Forging Masters didn’t have divine sense to help them, and they only relied on their feelings to fix the stars.

This was understandable. That was why the success rate of forging ranked weapons was so low.

Continue! I don’t believe that I can’t handle you!

After his spiritual essence and divine sense recovered, Zhou Shu finished the food that Steward Mi had left at the door, rolled up his sleeves, and began forging again.

He repeated the process countless times. On this day, Zhou Shu once again retreated from his consciousness.

Unlike before, he wasn’t so weak that he couldn’t move.

This time, his divine sense and spiritual essence were not exhausted. He had completed positioning the stars in the Great Destroyer Sword!

It wasn’t easy. Zhou Shu sighed.

These past few days had worn him out. He now regretted agreeing to Sun Gongping.

He was reluctant to give away the weapon he had spent so much effort to forge.

As a man, I have to keep my word. At most, I’ll forge another one.

Let’s see the might of the Great Destroyer Sword first!

Zhou Shu activated the remaining spiritual essence in his body and poured it into the Great Destroyer Sword.

Zhou Shu’s gaze was like a torch as he stared at the Great Destroyer Sword. As his spiritual essence entered it, a line seemed to light up within it. His spiritual essence followed the line, constantly lighting up the stars along the path.

The body of the Great Destroyer Sword emitted a buzzing sound as a powerful aura exploded from it.

Good sword!

Zhou Shu roared and raised his sword.

The spiritual essence flowing within the Great Destroyer Sword instantly erupted. It was as if the spiritual essence in a person’s body had flowed through a specific meridian before erupting.

An extremely sharp sword qi slashed out.

Swish!

There was a soft sound.

Zhou Shu was dumbfounded as the furnace worth 1,000 taels of gold split into two in front of him…

Even the True Fire seed inside fell out. After a few flutters, it extinguished…

“F*ck!” Zhou Shu couldn’t help cursing.

His shock was not only because the might of the Great Destroyer Sword was beyond imagination, but also because 2,000 taels of gold was gone!

F*ck, this is a huge loss!

He didn’t expect the power of the Great Destroyer Sword to be so great that it could even split the furnace in half with a single slash!

His spiritual essence cultivation was only at the eighth rank, and he didn’t know any sword techniques, yet he already had such power.

As expected, this was the correct usage of a weapon!

When he fought with Xiao Shunzhi before, he had really used a heaven-grade weapon as a standard weapon. What a waste!

There are one hundrd and four star positions in the Great Destroyer Sword that form three star paths. This should be considered quite good among yellow-grade weapons, Zhou Shu thought.

Theoretically, yellow-grade weapons had star positions between 1 to 180.

However, it didn’t mean that the higher the number of star positions, the higher the grade of the weapon.

The stars that didn’t form the star paths were useless. They belonged to invalid star positions.

Only the stars positioned on the complete star paths would affect the grade of the weapon.

Otherwise, one could just close their eyes and tap the stars into the weapon.

The star paths corresponded to the meridians of the human body. The position of stars on each star path was similar to the number of acupuncture points on the meridians of the human body.

In other words, the star positions for ranked weapons were not continuous. More often than not, there would be dozens more star positions if there was one more star path.

Although the Great Destroyer Sword only had 104 stars, if it had an additional star path, it would have more than 180 stars. That would make it a black-grade weapon.

Thus, even though the Great Destroyer Sword only had 104 stars, there might not be many weapons stronger than it among yellow-grade weapons.

With this Great Destroyer Sword, they can no longer question whether I am a Forging Master or not. The corners of Zhou Shu’s lips curled up. But I have to buy another forging furnace and True Fire again. Two thousand taels of gold!

His heart ached a little. No, I have to get Sun Gongping to pay! But then again, a yellow-grade weapon isn’t worth two thousand taels of gold, right?

The more Zhou Shu thought about it, the more his heart ached. He had suffered a huge loss.

“Steward, get someone to boil some water for my bath!”

After being in seclusion for so many days, he only wanted to take a warm bath and ask Sun Gongping for money!

I have to get as much money back as possible.

Zhou Shu called out a few times, but he didn’t hear Steward Mi’s reply. He walked out, somewhat puzzled.

Just as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, a young servant ran over hurriedly.

“Greetings, Second Master!” The servant fell to his knees.

Zhou Shu glanced at the servant and asked casually, “Who are you? Where’s Steward Mi?”

Steward Mi came from the Mi family. He would usually respond whenever he called him.

Could he be slacking recently because I was in seclusion?

“Second Master, I am a worker of the Mi family’s trading company. Supervisor Mi arranged for me to listen to Second Master’s instructions here. He said that if Second Master needs any forging materials, I should have them delivered to you immediately.”

“Oh.” Zhou Shu nodded. He knew that the Supervisor Mi mentioned by this servant was Steward Mi’s son. He was a worker in the Mi family’s trading company.

“What about Steward Mi?” Zhou Shu asked.

“It’s like this, Second Master. The residence at the east street entrance has been flooded, so Steward Mi went over to deal withit,” the servant said.

The residence at the east street entrance was the one that Mi Ziwen had given Zhou Shu.

Steward Mi was originally arranged by Mi Zhifu to take care of the residence. However, Zhou Shu’s baron’s mansion temporarily lacked caretakers, so Zhou Shu had transferred Steward Mi over for the time being.

Hearing the servant say this, Zhou Shu nodded. He didn’t ask any more questions. He lifted his feet and walked forward, preparing to find someone to help him boil the bathwater.

The servant was a worker of the trading company. He couldn’t possibly ask him to boil bathwater for him.

“You can go back. I have nothing else to do here for the time being,” Zhou Shu said casually while walking.

He had just taken two steps when he suddenly sensed danger behind him.

Without any hesitation, he circulated his true qi, and the surface of his body turned a faint golden color.

Clank!

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Golden Bell Shield!

Zhou Shu suddenly turned around. Without any hesitation, he slashed out with the Great Destroyer Sword.

He didn’t know any sword techniques, but at this moment, he didn’t need to know any!

His spiritual essence poured into the Great Destroyer Sword, and sword qi erupted. At the same time, his body exploded with power. He used the giant sword that was like a door to smash at his opponent.

Puu—

Boom!

The two loud bangs occurred almost simultaneously.

A fist-sized hole appeared on the far wall.

This was caused by the Great Destroyer Sword’s sword qi.

A few steps behind Zhou Shu, there was a large crater in the ground, and within the crater was a mass of flesh and blood.

The servant had disappeared.

Zhou Shu’s stomach churned, and he almost vomited.

Too bloody!

He had forgotten about the power of the Great Destroyer Sword. If he had known that this assassin wouldn’t be able to withstand it, he would have been gentler!

Zhou Shu thought this, but he didn’t regret it at all.

He would do it again without holding back.

Who knew the cultivation level of the assassin who ambushed him from behind?

If he had held back, it would have simply been irresponsible to his own life!

The worker of the Mi family’s trading company is an assassin?

Frowning, Zhou Shu shifted his gaze away from the blurry mass of flesh.

No, he might not be a worker of the Mi family’s trading company!

From the strength he used to attack me just now, his cultivation should be at least at the ninth rank.

Who wants to assassinate me?

Zhou Shu had publicly announced that his cultivation level was at the ninth rank. Yin Wuyou and Sun Gongping might not have told anyone that he had broken through to the eighth rank.

Under normal circumstances, a ninth-rank assassin was enough to assassinate him.

It seemed like the person who wanted to assassinate him had some understanding of him.

It was just that they didn’t know his hidden strength.

“Who is it?!” Zhou Shu shouted as his eyes suddenly flickered.

With a single step, Zhou Shu crossed several feet, raised his sword, and slashed at the shadows.

A shadow floated out from the corner.

At this moment, Zhou Shu’s Great Destroyer Sword was already in front of him.

The black shadow’s reaction was also extremely fast. Two short swords crossed in front of him, blocking Zhou Shu’s attack.

Zhou Shu’s spiritual essence was exhausted, and he was unable to activate the Great Destroyer Sword’s sword qi. But his true qi was still present, and so was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. Otherwise, an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to withstand this attack.

A tremendous force, along with the two short swords, smashed heavily onto the black-robed man’s chest.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the black shadow was sent flying far away, directly smashing a hole in the wall and landing several feet away.

He jumped up and spat out a mouthful of blood. A look of shock flashed across his eyes. The next moment, he turned around and fled in the opposite direction of Zhou Shu.

The news is wrong!

The target’s cultivation far exceeds the intelligence report!

“You want to leave? Not so easy!” Zhou Shu snorted coldly.

As he visualized the Five Mountains’ True Form, his consciousness transformed into five mountains that crashed into the black shadow’s head.

The black shadow’s movements faltered, and then he fell to the ground while hugging his head, crying out in pain.

Unless one’s cultivation level was higher than Zhou Shu’s, it was extremely difficult to resist the divine sense attack of the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form!

Zhou Shu took a step and crossed several feet. He extended his arm, and the Great Destroyer Sword was already on his opponent’s neck.

This time, he was not in a hurry to kill.

“Who are you? Why are you trying to assassinate me?” Zhou Shu said coldly.

The man in black looked at Zhou Shu with a mocking expression.

Then black blood suddenly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Shu frowned. He squatted down and pried open the man’s mouth.

He had already swallowed the poison in his mouth and died from bleeding from his seven orifices.

Zhou Shu didn’t expect such a vulgar scene to happen in front of him. This man in black was a death warrior!

He killed himself because he couldn’t kill me?

I’ve been in seclusion forging recently. I don’t think I’ve offended anyone.

Zhou Shu frowned. He hadn’t offended anyone previously.

Is Great Wei taking revenge on me because of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a line of words suddenly floated in front of Zhou Shu.

[The Great Destroyer Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. You are rewarded with the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords!]

In this instant, countless figures seemed to appear in Zhou Shu’s eyes. There were even sword glows swirling within them.

[The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords, a sword technique comprehended from observing strange beasts. There are a total of eighteen moves, and they have the strength to split heaven and earth. Enemies will be killed within five steps!]

For a moment, Zhou Shu was immersed in his sword technique and forgot about the assassin.

He didn’t notice that in the darkness in the distance, there was another figure quietly approaching him.

There were more than two assassins in the baron’s mansion!
