Chapter 110: Meeting Again So Soon
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The people from the Divine Constable Bureau arrived very quickly. Zhou Shu had just hidden the heaven-grade weapons when Yang Hong returned with seven constables.
The traitor had already died, so the Divine Constable Bureau didn’t send any other divine constables over. But they attached great importance to this matter and sent seven constables over.
Zhou Shu greeted Yang Hong and then took his leave.
!!It was up to the Divine Constable Bureau to search the place.
When it gets dark, I’ll sneak over again and bring these seven heaven-grade weapons back. Perfect!
After leaving, Zhou Shu didn’t return to the 0th Workshop. Instead, he stayed in his Chang’an residence.
At night, he found a set of black clothes and dressed up simply before climbing over the wall and leaving the residence.
A moment later, Zhou Shu had already returned to the courtyard of the traitor.
The people from the Divine Constable had already left. The yard looked as if they had dug three feet into the ground and turned over the dirt to cover the filth.
Zhou Shu used his divine sense to sense that the box he had deliberately left behind in the room had disappeared, leaving behind only a deep pit.
Obviously, this little trick couldn’t escape the Divine Constable Bureau’s investigation.
Fortunately, he had seized the opportunity during the day. Otherwise, the seven heaven-grade weapons would have fallen into the hands of the Divine Constable Bureau.
Now—
Zhou Shu couldn’t help smiling when he thought about the heaven-grade weapons he had hidden behind the wall. He had struck it rich this time.
Just as he was about to climb over the wall to retrieve the heaven-grade weapons, his heart suddenly trembled. Without thinking, he pushed his toes off the ground and leaped into the air. The next moment, he landed on the roof beam.
Almost as soon as he landed on the beam, a black shadow silently appeared in the courtyard.
The next moment, he floated into the room.
That’s right!
This person floated in directly! His feet didn’t touch the ground!
He could fly!
The person was completely covered in a black robe. Even his face was covered, revealing only a pair of eyes. In the dark night, if one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t even be able to discover his existence!
When Zhou Shu saw this person, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart couldn’t help beating faster.
With his accelerated heartbeat, the black-robed man raised his head. The light in his eyes seemed real as they landed on the beam.
The next moment, Zhou Shu felt his hair stand on end. Without any hesitation, he turned over and fell from the beam.
As he flew through the air, the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber on his back slashed backward. With a crisp ringing sound, a black dagger appeared, and the black-robed figure also took half a step back.
The pupils of his eyes constricted slightly as he said in a low voice, “Who are you?”
Zhou Shu was somewhat speechless. Does this guy only know one sentence?
He seems to have said the same thing the last time we met.
That’s right. The black-robed man in front of him was the black-robed man that Zhou Shu had met outside the city yesterday. Zhou Shu also suspected him to be the mysterious expert that Zhu Chuanfeng had been waiting for!
Zhou Shu didn’t expect to meet him again so soon.
He grinned, but unfortunately, a black cloth covered his face.
What is this called?
Fate brought us together~
Bah!
You had a chance to go to heaven, but you chose to barge into h.e.l.l instead.
Zhou Shu flicked his wrist and readied the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber.
“I should be the one asking you this. Who are you?” Zhou Shu lowered his voice.
At this moment, the two of them had a tacit understanding. Neither of them wanted to cause too much of a commotion and attract attention.
Just by looking at their attire, others could tell that they were shady people…
“If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.” The black-robed man laughed coldly.
His body flashed, and like a ghost, he suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Shu. His black dagger stabbed out dozens of times, and in an instant, it was as if more than ten people were attacking Zhou Shu at the same time.
Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid. He spread out his divine sense. To him, the lightning-fast attacks were like a tortoise crawling. His mind reflected every movement clearly.
The Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber flickered as he executed the Heavenly Saber Art.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The saber and the dagger clashed countless times.
Crack!
The Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber in Zhou Shu’s hand was only a standard weapon, and the dagger in the black-robed man’s hand was clearly a ranked weapon.
After a few collisions, the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber in Zhou Shu’s hand was only left with the hilt.
A hint of mockery flashed through the black-robed man’s eyes. Although his opponent’s cultivation level wasn’t weak, his strength was greatly reduced without a suitable weapon.
He laughed coldly and was about to take Zhou Shu down.
But he didn’t notice that a trace of mockery had flashed through Zhou Shu’s face.
This black-robed man actually didn’t seem to recognize him. Thinking about it, it made sense. Yesterday, when they exchanged blows, the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber in his hand had been broken. He hadn’t even had time to use the Heavenly Saber Art.
Afterward, he had fought him with his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell s.h.i.+eld Technique.
It was not surprising that he couldn’t recognize him. After all, he wasn’t showing his face.
Seeing the black dagger stabbing toward him, Zhou Shu didn’t dodge and directly charged forward.
The black-robed man frowned slightly as a strange feeling flashed through his heart. But before he could think about it, the dagger had already pierced through Zhou Shu’s skin.
The black-robed man sneered. Since you want to die, then I will fulfill your wis.h.!.+
Clang!
With a m.u.f.fled sound, the blade seemed to have struck something hard, and the forward momentum suddenly stopped.
An intense backlash came, causing the black-robed man’s arm to go numb.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw Zhou Shu reach out and grab his wrist.
“Impenitence is talking about people like you!”
Zhou Shu laughed loudly. It was as if all the muscles in his body had become one, and energy began to flow from his feet. His arm shook, and a ma.s.sive force entered the black-robed man’s body.
The black-robed man’s entire body jolted, and he felt as if all of his limbs and bones had been broken, causing him to be unable to control his body.
Before he could react, he felt as though he was riding on clouds and mist. Then with a bang, he crashed heavily onto the ground.
The eleventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique!
Zhou Shu’s divine strength was enough to shock the world.
Even a third-rank Grandmaster couldn’t compare to him in terms of strength!
The black-robed man had made two mistakes.
First, he hadn’t expected Zhou Shu to have reached the point of being impervious to blades.
Even he could only hurt his skin.
Second, he hadn’t expected Zhou Shu to be so strong, and he was caught by the wrist by Zhou Shu.
If he could have reacted in time, he might have had a chance to escape.
But he had been too slow to react, and Zhou Shu’s divine strength had shattered all the joints in his body.
Even a third-rank Grandmaster had to rely on their physical body. With his joints broken, there was nothing he could do even though he had rich spiritual essence.
The black-robed man lay in a human-shaped crater on the ground.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
He couldn’t understand how a third-rank Grandmaster like him could end up in such a state.
They had only exchanged a few moves, and he had already lost so thoroughly?
Zhou Shu hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly, but it was only natural.
Yesterday, he was already able to fight this man to a standstill. Earlier today, his cultivation base had improved tremendously. If he still couldn’t take him down, that would really be nonsense.
“Now, let me see exactly who you are.” Zhou Shu pinched his throat and reached out to remove the black-robed man’s mask.
Suddenly, there was the sound of gus.h.i.+ng wind behind him.
Zhou Shu suddenly turned around, with his body emitting a faint golden light. He raised his head and punched with his fist.
Boom!
The sound of energy colliding rang out as a ghostly figure flashed past Zhou Shu.
Oh no! Zhou Shu took a step back, wanting to kill the black-robed man by stomping on him!
But his foot landed on the ground. The black-robed man had actually left the spot!
The joints in his four limbs had been dislocated, so it was impossible for him to move on his own.
Obviously, someone had rescued him!
Zhou Shu’s eyes flickered as his saber intent burst forth. Even without a saber in his hand, it was as if his entire body had turned into a peerless sharp blade.
If someone was watching from the sidelines, they would definitely be able to sense that if Zhou Shu attacked now, it would definitely be a thunderous attack.
Zhou Shu’s eyes shone as he looked around.
At the same time, his divine sense spread out like water. No one within a three-meter radius could hide from his perception!
The surroundings were silent. Only the distant sounds of fighting, teeth grinding, quarreling, and indescribable voices could be heard.
Zhou Shu knew that he had left!
The person who came from behind had immediately fled after failing to hit him. He had even taken the black-robed man away!
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. Since you’ve come, there’s no need to leave!
Without any hesitation, Zhou Shu leaped forward and arrived on the other side of the wall.
He stomped heavily as the ground beneath his feet split open as if there was an earthquake. The seven heaven-grade weapons he had buried rose into the air.
Zhou Shu extended his hand and grabbed the seven heaven-grade weapons. The next moment, he tied the seven heaven-grade weapons behind his back and soared into the sky.
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the house. “Earthquake!”
On the roofs of houses, Zhou Shu leaped about as if he was flying. Soon, he discovered two almost identical figures.
After his cultivation broke through yesterday, his Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form had also improved. Although the improvement was not as great as his other cultivation techniques, his divine sense had also increased.
It was also because of this that Zhou Shu was able to keenly sense the almost imperceptible traces left behind by the other party.
If he had not obtained Zhu Chuanfeng’s heaven-grade weapons, Zhou Shu might have allowed the black-robed man to be rescued.
But his cultivation had just improved greatly, and he had also obtained seven heaven-grade weapons. How could Zhou Shu let him leave right under his nose?
Whether or not he was a citizen of Great Xia aside, at least he was living well in Great Xia now. These people were Great Xia’s enemies. It was fine if Zhou Shu wasn’t strong enough to fight them. However, not only was he strong enough, but they had run into him.
Under these circ.u.mstances, Zhou Shu felt that if he let them go, he would be letting down the people paying him his salary.
The two shadows were so fast that they didn’t even attract the attention of the soldiers on the city wall when they climbed over it.
Zhou Shu followed behind them and smoothly climbed over the city wall.
They were fleeing in the direction Zhu Chuanfeng had taken him to yesterday!
As expected, Zhu Chuanfeng was planning to meet them yesterday! Could these people have another lair outside the city?
Zhou Shu was somewhat suspicious.
If there really is another lair, aren’t Great Xia’s scouts too lousy?
Don’t you all know that someone else’s stronghold is so close to the capital?
Zhou Shu was thinking, but he didn’t slow down at all. So what if they had another lair?
As long as the other party was not a first-rank martial artist, Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid!
First-rank martial artist?
It was not that easy to encounter a first-rank martial artist!
As soon as they left the city, the second black-robed man had clearly let go of all his restraints, and his speed was even faster than before.
It was the same for Zhou Shu.
When he was in the city, his hands were tied because he was afraid of attracting the attention of the night guards.
Now, with every step he took, a clear footprint appeared on the ground, and he crossed several meters. Although he wasn’t flying, his speed wasn’t any slower.
The second black-robed man turned to look at Zhou Shu, his eyes glimmering.
Just as he was hesitating about whether or not to turn around and fight, he suddenly saw Zhou Shu pull out a saber from his back.
Then a huge saber beam that seemed to fill the world slashed down at him.
The second black-robed man was shocked, and he no longer dared to think about turning back to fight. He continued to flee frantically.
Zhou Shu was also given a fright. Using a heaven-grade weapon to execute the Heavenly Saber Art has such an effect?
He felt that his saber intent could explode to 120%!
When he used the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber previously, it was already considered good if he could unleash half of his saber intent. Any more, and the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Zhou Shu was overjoyed. A heaven-grade weapon actually had such an effect.
It was just a casual slash just now. If he used his full strength, he could even fight against a first-rank martial artist.
“Little thief, where are you going?!” Zhou Shu shouted in a fake voice. “Die!”
He became one with his saber and slashed forward.
Boom!
A slash dozens of meters long appeared on the ground, and the second black-robed man ran even faster.
If he ran any slower, he would have been slashed.
With two running and one chasing, they were soon dozens of miles away from the capital. Suddenly, a building appeared in front of them.
The second black-robed man appeared excited, and he moved even faster.
Zhou Shu frowned. He remembered that Zhu Chuanfeng had mentioned this post house.
Isn’t this the post house closest to Chang’an?
Could this be their lair?
Hmph! It’s definitely a den of thieves ahead. I’ll catch up and annihilate all of them!
Zhou Shu snorted coldly as he circulated his true qi. His saber intent instantly reached its peak.
He raised the heaven-grade saber in his hand, shouted loudly, and charged forward.
He was still one hundred meters away from the two black-robed men.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, a distance of thirty meters was already beyond Zhou Shu’s attack range.
But when Zhou Shu swung his saber, he became one with the blade. He crossed a hundred meters, and the saber light transformed into a thirty-meter saber beam that slashed toward the black-robed men.
At this moment, it was as though there was only that single saber beam between heaven and earth.
The second black-robed man’s expression changed drastically.
“Imperial Preceptor, save me!” he shouted.
