"Okay." Wang Xuanyi took the Reincarnation Pill and put it away carefully. "If I succeed, I will definitely not forget this favor."
"Senior Wang, you're being too serious. This is just a deal." Zhou Shu shook his head. "Didn't you already give me a reward?"
He casually pointed at the three Divine Stones.
Wang Xuanyi shook his head and didn't say anything else. He took a step and soared into the sky.
A moment later, a few angry shouts sounded from all over the Demon Realm. "Wang Xuanyi, you're courting death!"
Boom!
The loud bangs continued, and Wang Xuanyi's laughter sounded in the sky above the Demon Realm. "Kill me if you can."
The voice receded. The loud bangs lasted for a moment, then disappeared.
The terrifying aura fluctuations gradually subsided.
When Yao Buqi peeked at Zhou Shu, he realized that Zhou Shu was already sitting cross-legged on the ground. He seemed to be in a daze or cultivating.
He opened his mouth a few times, but in the end, he didn't disturb him.
Zhou Shu was immersed in ecstasy. As expected of Wang Xuanyi, he can be called the strongest worker!
That's right. His strongest worker had changed again!
Wang Xin, Xiao Shunzhi, and the others couldn't compare to Wang Xuanyi at all!
What was the strongest worker? It had to be someone like Wang Xuanyi.
Zhou Shu estimated that no one would be able to take away the title of the strongest worker from Wang Xuanyi in the future.
How long had it been since he gave the Zhanlu Sword to Wang Xuanyi?
At most, it had been dozens of seconds!
In the end?
Thinking of the continuous barrage of messages that kept appearing in front of him, he was overjoyed.
[The Zhanlu Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. You are rewarded with the first move of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, Seeing the Dao through Me!]
[The Zhanlu Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. The first move of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, Seeing the Dao through Me, has improved by 30%.]
…
[The Zhanlu Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. You are rewarded with the second move of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, Indescribable Dao!]
…
In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of messages flashed before Zhou Shu's eyes. He wondered how many demonic beasts Wang Xuanyi had killed!
Zhou Shu only knew that in a breath, he had already mastered an extremely powerful sword technique.
Compared to this, the Traversal Sword Art, the Son of Heaven Sword Technique, and even the Heaven Slaying Sword Art that he had learned in the past were nothing.
This Seven Swords of Heaven Interception was definitely the strongest sword technique he had ever seen. It was even comparable to the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
Zhou Shu could even feel that if the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception reached perfection, he could even kill Wang Xuanyi with one strike!
Even though he had only cultivated the first move to perfection, he felt that he had a 30% chance of winning against Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the other Demon Kings of the Demon Realm!
One had to know that he was not at the Grotto-Heaven realm yet. He was only at the Earth Immortal realm.
It was conceivable how powerful the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception was.
But then again, it wouldn't be that easy to reach perfection in the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception.
Just now, Wang Xuanyi had probably killed thousands of demonic beasts, but only the first move of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception had reached perfection. The second move was still a long way from perfection.
Each move was more difficult than the previous one. At the seventh move, the difficulty was immeasurable.
Even with Wang Xuanyi's cultivation, unless he kept slaying demons day and night, it would probably take a long time for Zhou Shu's Seven Swords of Heaven Interception to reach perfection.
With the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, I have another trump card. But I don't seem to have an intrinsic divine sword yet.
I have to forge a connate divine sword worthy of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception later.
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin in thought. His gaze landed on the three Divine Stones Wang Xuanyi had given him.
With these Divine Stones, I can try forging a grotto-heaven divine weapon.
Zhou Shu suddenly laughed. Shi Changsheng, oh Shi Changsheng, you've exhausted your wits just for Wang Xuanyi's three Divine Stones. You didn't expect me to easily get Wang Xuanyi to hand them over with both hands, right?
If you hadn't schemed against me, I might have been generous and rewarded you with one. But you just had to play tricks with me. In the end, you are the one who suffers.
Boom!
Just as he put away the three Divine Stones, he felt the space around him fluctuate, and the Longevity Sword appeared out of the void.
He happened to see Zhou Shu put away the three Divine Stones, and the Longevity Sword trembled violently.
Shi Changsheng's figure appeared, and he said with a trembling voice, "Young fellow, did you get the Divine Stones? Give me one!"
Shi Changsheng eagerly extended his hand.
Zhou Shu dodged. "Old Shi, what are you doing? These are my Divine Stones. You can't snatch them like this."
"Didn't we agree to steal Wang Xuanyi's Divine Stones together and split the profits?" Shi Changsheng said.
"That's true. But we were talking about a joint theft," Zhou Shu said confidently. "I didn't steal these Divine Stones. I exchanged them with a medicinal pill. It has nothing to do with you, Old Shi."
Shi Changsheng: "…"
"You're cheating me! You're cheating—"
Zhou Shu interrupted, "Old Shi, as a man, you have to be reasonable. What's yours is yours. If it's not yours, it's not yours."
"Bullshit. Am I a man? I'm just a sword. Why should I talk about reason with you?!" Shi Changsheng said.
Zhou Shu: "…"
It seemed to make sense.
"Young fellow, give me a Divine Stone, and I'll let bygones be bygones," Shi Changsheng said. The figure he condensed this time seemed to be a little ethereal, including the main body of the Longevity Sword.
Zhou Shu frowned. "Old Shi, I don't understand what you're saying. I don't owe you anything."
"Give it to me!" Shi Changsheng almost growled.
The Longevity Sword hummed as the sword qi shot in all directions, cutting through the air.
Yao Buqi, Shi Songtao, and the others couldn't take it anymore and kept retreating.
Zhou Shu snorted coldly. He took a step forward, and a powerful sword intent erupted from his body.
The first move of the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, Seeing the Dao through Me!
Even without a sword in his hand, Zhou Shu seemed to have become a sword, and a supreme sword intent filled the air.
"Give me a Divine Stone, and I'll owe you a favor!" Shi Changsheng's figure was ethereal, as if he was about to dissipate.
Zhou Shu was a little hesitant. If Shi Changsheng wanted to attack, Zhou Shu had just obtained the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, so he wasn't afraid of him.
If they really fought, it would be easier.
But once Shi Changsheng gave in, it was a little difficult.
He didn't have any deep hatred for Shi Changsheng. There was no need, and he didn't want to fight him to the death.
"Old Shi, it's not impossible to give you a Divine Stone." Zhou Shu frowned. "But you have to tell me what you want it for.
"Also, the Divine Stones are mine after all. Old Shi, you can't just take one away, right? Even Wang Xuanyi couldn't take anything from me for free.
"Old Shi, tell me. What can you give me?"
"What do you want?" Shi Changsheng's figure condensed from light actually felt as if he was panting heavily.
"How much do you think a Divine Stone is worth?" Zhou Shu asked. He wasn't the one who was anxious now. There weren't many opportunities to control Shi Changsheng. This wily old fox was even more difficult to deal with than Wang Xuanyi.
"I'll give you whatever you want!" Shi Changsheng said anxiously. "Hurry up and give me a Divine Stone, or it'll be too late!"
His face was anxious, as if he couldn't wait. As he spoke, he extended his hand to Zhou Shu again.
