Chapter 137: Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords, Might of the Great Destroyer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Great Xia was located on the south of the land. To the south of it was a continuous mountain range, to the north was Great Wei, to the east was the Endless Sea, and to the west was another country.

Between Great Xia and Great Wei, there were many prefectures bordering each other, among which were the You and Bing prefectures located between the two countries.

The place where Zhou Shu and Shen Yue had caught up to the Great Wei’s diplomatic mission was about a hundred miles southeast of the You and Bing prefectures. After crossing two mountains to the north, they would reach Great Wei.

The Great Wei imperial preceptor, Xiao Shunzhi, seemed to have long known of their arrival. When he saw Zhou Shu, he didn’t appear surprised.

“Great Xia is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There is a Saber Dao expert with a decent cultivation level, and there is actually such a young grandmaster.”

Xiao Shunzhi looked at Zhou Shu. “Brother Zhou, why don’t you come to our Great Wei? We will definitely not be stingy with high official ranks, a generous salary, and beautiful wives and concubines.”

He actually went straight to the point and tried to recruit Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu sneered in his heart. You probably don’t know that the saber expert you’re talking about is also me, right?

“Can you make the decision?” Zhou Shu said. “Are you sure you can give me what I want?”

“I have some status in Great Wei,” Xiao Shunzhi said.

What a joke. He was the imperial preceptor of Great Wei. He was below one person and above everyone else. Putting everything else aside, he could guarantee Zhou Shu a third-rank official position.

Furthermore, Zhou Shu was definitely worthy of Great Wei giving these things to him.

Regardless of whether he had developed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Saber, and Horse Slaying Saber, at least he had the forging formulas.

Furthermore, Zhou Shu had the cultivation of a grandmaster. Such a young grandmaster didn’t exist in all of Great Wei.

Xiao Shunzhi sighed emotionally in his heart. Although the power of Great Xia was not as strong as it was at its peak, its foundation was still there.

“Is that so? Then, if I say I want your head, can you also give it to me?” Zhou Shu said with a faint smile.

Xiao Shunzhi’s expression didn’t change as he laughed. “There are many people who want my head. If you think that way, come to Great Wei. If you can kill me one day, the position of imperial preceptor will be yours.”

Xiao Shunzhi stood there as deep as the abyss, undoubtedly revealing the bearing of a Martial Dao venerable.

“Is that so? Then I’ll give it a try!”

Zhou Shu grabbed the hilt of the Great Destroyer Sword on his back as his aura exploded.

Boom!

With Zhou Shu as the center, a storm-like aura spread out.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly sank a few inches as spider web-like cracks spread out.

Puu puu!

Several mouthfuls of blood spurted out from Shen Yue and his men’s mouths.

They were unable to withstand the aura. They retreated, trying to avoid it.

Xiao Shunzhi’s expression changed, and he shouted coldly, “How dare you!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Zhou Shu shouted, “This is Great Xia. If you want to threaten me, think again!”

The Great Destroyer Sword had already been pulled out from his back. Three beams of starlight seemed to be flowing on the body of the sword.

A monstrous sword aura erupted from the sword.

“Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords!”

Before Zhou Shu could finish his sentence, boundless sword light enveloped the entire space.

Xiao Shunzhi’s expression changed drastically. This is bad.

The aura belonging to a first-rank martial artist erupted. His body suddenly rushed forward, and he seemed to have turned into a golden man. He struck out with his palm from several feet away, and a giant golden palm appeared in the air.

The spiritual qi of heaven and earth churned as the giant palm slammed toward Zhou Shu.

A distance of several feet was no obstacle to a first-rank martial artist. The range of their attacks was more than ten feet.

But to Zhou Shu, it was the same.

From several feet away, Xiao Shunzhi’s attack landed on his body. Although it almost didn’t require time, it was just ‘almost’. It wasn’t that it completely didn’t require time.

Even this negligible amount of time was enough for an expert to make a move!

The Great Destroyer Sword in Zhou Shu’s hand was as light as a feather as he completely unleashed the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique. Within five steps, no one in this world could dodge his sword technique!

Puu! Puu! Puu!

A few light sounds rang out as blood spurted into the air.

“How dare you!” Xiao Shunzhi’s furious voice soared into the sky. He didn’t think that the other party would actually be so straightforward and attack him immediately. Wasn’t he here to discuss cooperation?

This slight difference in cognition caused Xiao Shunzhi’s reaction to be a little slower, and the consequence of this was that his student, the deputy envoy of Great Wei, the famous genius of Great Wei, Shen Yue, had died!

[The Great Destroyer Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique has improved by 30%]

[The Great Destroyer Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique has improved by 10%]

…

[The Great Destroyer Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. The Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique has improved by 100%]

Five messages flashed past Zhou Shu’s eyes.

Shen Yue, who was a fourth-grade martial artist, and his four subordinates, who were sixth or seventh-rank martial artists, couldn’t even block a single sword strike and died at the same time!

The deaths of a few Martial Dao experts brought rich benefits to Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu had created weapons that could kill. The stronger the person killed, the more benefits the Legendary Armament Canon would give. Zhou Shu had known this a long time ago. But there was no fixed standard for how much this was. Perhaps the Legendary Armament Canon itself had a standard, but he had yet to grasp it.

He didn’t think too much about it. It was a good thing that the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique had improved. His confidence had increased a little.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Shu had killed Shen Yue and four other assassins who had broken into his manor. Xiao Shunzhi’s huge palm attack had already reached him.

He had no time to dodge!

Xiao Shunzhi attacked in anger. He didn’t hold back at all in this attack. The golden palm was even more ferocious than the one Zhou Shu had encountered when they fought previously.

Buzz—

In an instant, a layer of faint golden light suddenly rose from Zhou Shu’s body. The golden light seemed to turn his skin golden.

Golden Bell Shield Technique, eleventh level!

Boom!

A sound like the morning bell and evening drum echoed through the wilderness.

Under Xiao Shunzhi’s astonished gaze, the golden palm left a three-meter-deep crater on the ground before dissipating in the air.

At the bottom of the deep pit, a figure stood upright. The clothes on his body were tattered, revealing the pale golden skin beneath his clothes. He was completely unharmed!

Zhou Shu spat out a mouthful of blood.

“A first-rank martial artist indeed lives up to his reputation,” Zhou Shu said. The eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique was still unable to completely protect him from an attack of a first-rank martial artist.

With only the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, he would be severely injured even if he didn’t die after taking such a blow.

But Zhou Shu had not only cultivated the Golden Bell Shield Technique. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was also beneficial to protecting him, just like the Golden Bell Shield Technique. Without a powerful physique, how could he bring about the power of a dragon and an elephant?

Cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique would similarly strengthen the defense of the body.

Only by overlapping the two cultivation methods could Zhou Shu only suffer a light injury from Xiao Shunzhi’s attack.

Xiao Shunzhi’s pupils contracted as he stared straight at Zhou Shu. He is a grandmaster?

Although he had made a move in a hurry, and he hadn’t used all his strength with the palm strike, it was definitely not something a grandmaster could escape unscathed.

This person’s cultivation was definitely not weaker than his!

Shen Yue had made a mistake!

“What’s your relationship with that saber expert?” Xiao Shunzhi stared at Zhou Shu.

The scene today was very similar to that day.

That day, the saber expert had killed one of his subordinates in front of him.

Today, Zhou Shu had gone even further and killed his student in front of him.

How many years had it been since Xiao Shunzhi felt such humiliation?

Zhou Shu’s protective technique seems to be somewhat similar to the saber expert from the other day. Are they both experts secretly trained by Great Xia?

Many thoughts flashed through Xiao Shunzhi’s mind, but the aura on his body kept rising.

Regardless of whether they were experts secretly nurtured by Great Xia, he wouldn’t hold back this time!

Since Zhou Shu had killed his student, he would have to pay with his life!

Xiao Shunzhi was truly enraged. The dignity of a first-rank martial artist could not be offended!

Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly. “Make a guess.

“Xiao Shunzhi, you attacked just now. Now, it’s my turn!”

Zhou Shu gently stepped forward, causing the ground to rumble as he shot into the air.

The sword body of the Great Destroyer Sword glowed brightly as spiritual essence circulated within its three star paths.

At this moment, the Great Destroyer Sword seemed to have increased several times in weight. Zhou Shu casually swung it, carrying with it a tremendous amount of force, causing the air to emit a ripping sound.

At the same time, boundless sword qi erupted. Together with Zhou Shu’s Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords, everything within a hundred feet became a sea of sword qi.

Xiao Shunzhi’s expression was solemn. This person’s sword intent is actually so astonishing!

What sword technique is he using? Why have I never seen it before?

While thinking, Xiao Shunzhi did not hesitate. He formed hand seals with both hands, and golden light shone brightly around his body. Two huge golden palms appeared in the air, and they assumed different positions to resist the sword qi filling the sky.

Zhou Shu had unleashed his full power, unleashing the twelfth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, the eleventh level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, and his eighth-rank cultivation in the Martial Dao with the Emperor Xuan Jade Book all without reservation.

The current him was more than twice as strong as the first time he fought with Xiao Shunzhi!

Even though he was not stronger than a first-rank Martial Dao cultivator, he was not weaker either.

Combined with the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords and the heavenly supreme Great Destroyer Sword, his attacks made even Xiao Shunzhi feel waves of shock.

It was true that the Great Destroyer Sword was a yellow-grade weapon, but the strength of a weapon was not limited to the grade of the weapon itself, but more importantly, who was using it!

The first time Zhou Shu had fought with Xiao Shunzhi, he had used a heaven-grade weapon. But at the time, he hadn’t known how to use a heaven-grade weapon, so he hadn’t been able to display its power.

Back then, a heaven-grade weapon was only slightly stronger than a standard weapon in his hands.

But now, Zhou Shu had already become a Forging Master and had a deep understanding of weapons.

This Great Destroyer Sword was personally forged by him. No one in the world could understand the Great Destroyer Sword better than him!

In this kind of situation, Zhou Shu fully displayed the power of the Great Destroyer Sword. Even Xiao Shunzhi didn’t dare to face him head-on.

Xiao Shunzhi’s pupils constricted. With a cold snort, he reached out his hand and grabbed a large saber which fell into his hand from somewhere.

The shape of the blade was strange, and the handle was almost as long as the blade itself. The entire saber was as tall as a person.

Xiao Shunzhi grasped the hilt of his saber with both hands and slashed out. A saber beam several feet long brushed past Zhou Shu’s body and landed on the ground.

A crack dozens of feet long appeared on the ground.

As the imperial preceptor of Great Wei, how could Xiao Shunzhi not have a superior weapon?

The saber in his hand was a genuine heaven-grade weapon!

Boom!

Sword qi and saber beam collided. Zhou Shu and Xiao Shunzhi both took a step back.

Zhou Shu glanced at the Great Destroyer Sword in his hand and sighed inwardly.

It was still a little lacking. The Great Destroyer Sword was currently only at the yellow grade. If it could be upgraded to become a heaven-grade weapon, he was completely confident that he could destroy Xiao Shunzhi’s saber with one strike!

But the requirements for upgrading the Great Destroyer Sword in the Legendary Armament Canon had yet to be met. He didn’t know how to upgrade it.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It was still difficult for the Great Destroyer Sword to kill a supreme first-grade martial artist.

The Great Destroyer Sword was not the complete version yet. As a yellow-grade weapon, it was still a little lacking to kill a first-rank martial artist.

“If that’s all you have, then today next year will be your death anniversary!” Xiao Shunzhi said coldly.

The long saber in Xiao Shunzhi’s hand began to glow. In the light, a total of 20 star paths appeared.

Zhou Shu’s expression did not change. He held the Great Destroyer Sword horizontally, and his entire body seemed to have become an unsheathed sword, its sharpness soaring to the heavens.

“You said that too early.” Zhou Shu said coldly, “Take another strike from me!”

The spiritual essence in Zhou Shu’s body surged into the Great Destroyer Sword. He became one with the sword and once again unleashed the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique.

Xiao Shunzhi snorted coldly. Although the other party’s sword technique was strong, it was still not enough to kill him!

The saber transformed into a saber beam that filled the sky as it collided with Zhou Shu.

Rumbling sounds resounded as the dazzling beam of light continued to fly into the distance. Wherever it passed, everything became a state of chaos.

In the camp of the Great Wei diplomatic mission, the soldiers were all looking in the direction the beam of light had disappeared suspiciously.

They still didn’t know what was happening. They didn’t even know who the person fighting against the imperial preceptor was.

Before this, Xiao Shunzhi hadn’t allowed anyone to follow him in order to prevent too many people from seeing Zhou Shu’s face because this secret was too valuable.

He had not expected Zhou Shu to be prepared to kill him.

“Xiao Shunzhi, first-rank martial artist, is this all you have?” Zhou Shu laughed loudly. “If that’s all, then I want your head!”

This was what Xiao Shunzhi had said earlier. Now that Zhou Shu used his words against him, Xiao Shunzhi was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his hair.

“Shameless boasting!” Xiao Shunzhi sneered. He drew a strange pattern with his saber and slashed at Zhou Shu’s chest.

Zhou Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly as a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his face. He didn’t dodge but instead charged forward. At the same time, the Great Destroyer Sword in his hand slashed forward.

Boom!

Swish!

Two loud sounds rang out at the same time.

Two streaks of blood shot out at the same time. Zhou Shu and Xiao Shunzhi were both sent flying backward.

Zhou Shu flew hundreds of feet away and stumbled to the ground. He used the Great Destroyer Sword to prop himself up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His chest was already a mess of flesh and blood, and the flesh exposed to the air was extremely terrifying.

He raised his head and saw Xiao Shunzhi transform into a ray of light and disappear from his line of sight. On the ground, there was a severed arm and the long saber as tall as a person.

Zhou Shu’s ears twitched. Someone’s approaching!

He didn’t have time to put away Xiao Shunzhi’s saber. He disappeared in a flash..
