“Ordinary saber and sword?” Hu Li shook his head like a rattle drum. “Why would I, Hu Li, use an ordinary saber or sword? It doesn’t matter how much it costs. As long as the weapon you forge can satisfy me, I can even mine personally!”
Zhou Shu was very satisfied with Hu Li’s reaction. He liked customers who were prideful. Not only were these customers rich and overbearing, but their cultivation levels were also high. They were excellent workers.
The only problem was that he was a demonic beast, not a human.
If he forged a weapon for him, he would use it to attack the human race in the future. This was definitely not Zhou Shu’s intention.
He pondered for a moment and said, “Hu Li, I have another condition.”
“Tell me,” Hu Li said without hesitation.
“I can forge a weapon for you, but you have to promise me one thing. Unless humans take the initiative to attack you, you can’t use the weapon I forged for you to kill a human!”
“I thought you wanted me to agree to an impossible condition,” Hu Li said disdainfully, “That’s all? I agree!”
“You agree?” Zhou Shu was surprised. He had thought his request was too much and that Hu Li would refuse.
He didn’t expect him to agree so readily.
????0 “I agreed. It’s not a big deal,” Hu Li said matter-of-factly. “As long as you humans don’t provoke me, why should I kill them?
“I am free now. No one can order me around. If Demon King Ao and the others want to invade the human continent, that’s their business. What does it have to do with me? I’m not interested in killing weak humans to begin with…”
Zhou Shu understood. To Hu Li, the human race was not worth mentioning at all. He had no feelings for the human race, nor was he hostile toward them.
It was like a person looking at an ant. They wouldn’t care if they stepped on an ant while walking. Similarly, they wouldn’t deliberately step on an ant.
Unfortunately, humans were as good as ants to Hu Li.
Zhou Shu looked at Hu Li and instructed, “Good. Now, go bring me the forging materials you’ve hidden. If I need any more forging materials, dig them out for me.”
“Alright,” Hu Li agreed. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Shu, “I still don’t know what weapon you want to forge for me. What if I’m not satisfied with the end product—”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Shu’s body shone brightly. The light formed a weapon in front of Hu Li.
“Shi Changsheng, from now on, you’re my little brother!” Hu Li looked excited. “I’ll immediately give you what you want. Just wait!”
Hu Li let out an excited tiger roar, transformed into his tiger demon form, and flew into the distance.
He had even forgotten that the other Demon Kings of the Demon Realm were still searching for him.
But Zhou Shu wasn’t worried. Now, the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm were probably not in the mood to continue hunting down Hu Li.
Demon King Ao should be in big trouble now.
Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Demon King Ao, don’t die too easily.
He didn’t wait for Hu Li to return with the forging materials. There was no need for so many forging materials. What he had on him was enough.
Zhou Shu sat down where Hu Li had just wriggled out, and flames rose in his hands. As he waited for Hu Li to return, he began to forge.
Just as Zhou Shu began to forge, at an unknown distance from where he was, a pair of huge hands blotting out the sky descended from the sky and hit the Demon King Palace that Demon King Ao was once proud of.
With a loud bang, the Demon King Palace collapsed.
A disheveled figure soared into the sky from the ruins and transformed into a flood dragon more than a hundred feet long.
“Roar!” Demon King Ao roared angrily. “How dare you!”
Demon King Ao was so angry that he was about to go crazy. “I’ve already taken the initiative to back down and not want to argue with you. How dare you bully me like this! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Demon King Ao roared at the sky. In response, the pair of giant hands slapped down.
Demon King Ao’s entire body erupted with a dazzling light as he collided with the giant hands.
Then there was endless roaring. The sounds of battle could be heard for hundreds of kilometers.
After an unknown period of time, the pair of giant hands dissipated into the air.
In the mess, a flood dragon lay on the ground as if he had been ravaged countless times. Two streams of hot tears flowed from his bell-like eyes.
He was alive, but his heart was dead.
Before the pair of giant hands dissipated into the air, a low voice seemed to mutter, “Shi Changsheng…”
…
Buzz—
In a barren mountain outside Yuheng Valley, a sword flew out from the rubble, and Shi Changsheng’s figure appeared on the sword.
He looked puzzled as he thought, Why do I feel like someone is plotting against me? Which old bastard is so bold?
No, something doesn’t feel right. I have to hide for a while.
The Longevity Sword trembled, and waves appeared in the air. Then the Longevity Sword actually disappeared into the air!
…
In a forest, Zhou Shu held a ball with both hands, and a ball of flames burned between his palms. In the burning flames, various forging materials changed shape, and the prototype of a weapon gradually appeared in front of him.
Various forging materials were already piled up around Zhou Shu. Hu Li had personally transported them.
Ever since the pair of giant hands appeared, the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm really didn’t have the mood to make things difficult for Hu Li. This also allowed Hu Li to move the forging materials over like a fish in water.
At this moment, the news of Demon King Ao’s defeat had already spread. The other Demon Kings were even more shocked. All of them hid in their nests, not daring to come out casually.
Without the Demon Kings around, Hu Li could do whatever he wanted in the current Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm fell into a strange calm, like the calm before a storm.
Zhou Shu and Hu Li didn’t seem to notice the calmness. One of them was diligently moving forging materials, while the other was doing their best to forge.
Zhou Shu’s idea was to brainwash demonic beasts and make them reject weapons. But Hu Li was a little special. He was a demonic beast whom Zhou Shu could rope in.
Zhou Shu had also thought things through with such demonic beasts. Giving them some benefits would instead help them get closer to humans.
He would rope in everything he could and then attack everything he could.
Zhou Shu could explore the Demon Realm through Hu Li.
Who said that demonic beasts couldn’t become workers?
Boom!
On this day, Hu Li brought over another batch of forging materials. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a roar in the sky.
“Hu Li, stop.” Zhou Shu’s voice sounded. “Your weapon is almost complete!”
Between Zhou Shu’s hands, a seven-colored light shone brightly. In the dazzling light, a weapon rose and fell.
Hu Li was overjoyed. “It’s done?”
“There’s still the last step. If you can pass this lightning tribulation, it will succeed. If you can’t, everything will be in vain.” Zhou Shu raised his hand, and the weapon flew toward Hu Li. “I can’t help you with this tribulation. Go with it.”
“Haha, it’s not like I haven’t experienced a heavenly tribulation before. Even the heavens can’t hurt my weapon!” Hu Li laughed. “By the way, what is the name of my weapon?”
“Didn’t you want to use it to defeat Demon King Ao? Demon King Ao wants to become a dragon. This weapon is called the Heavenly Dragon Slayer!”
