Chapter 155 - 5 Do You Know This Sword?

Chapter 155 Do You Know This Sword?

“Zhou Shu, what is the weapon you’ve prepared for the military parade?” Yin Wuyou asked nonchalantly, as if it was just a casual question.

“It’s a secret,” Zhou Shu said.

He reckoned that Emperor Yuan Feng wouldn’t tell anyone about the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi.

There was no way he could explain how he knew.

Could he tell others that he, the ruler of a country, had become a nightcrawler?

“Grand Minister, you’ll know when the military parade starts,” Zhou Shu said casually.

Although Yin Wuyou was very curious, it wasn’t appropriate for her to continue asking. She couldn’t tell Zhou Shu that she already knew he was going to give her the weapon, right?

“Grand Minister, I’ve already seen the information you asked Haitang to send over.”

Zhou Shu suddenly thought of something and asked, “I saw that in the past military parade, the military segment was always the actual combat of Great Xia’s three armies. I can understand the combat exercise for the Country Protector Army. But what is the combat of the Demon Executing Army and the Fiend Eradication Army about?”

The information Yin Wuyou had asked Haitang to give Zhou Shu was mostly about the military parade. There was very little information about the combat performance.

In her view, Zhou Shu was only partic.i.p.ating in the military parade, and the military segment had little to do with him.

She had even specially found all the information on the yellow-grade weapons that had appeared during the previous military parades for Zhou Shu.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shu didn’t ask about the military parade but instead asked about the military segment.

“It’s very simple. It’s actual combat. The Demon Executing Army demonstrates how to slay demons, while the Fiend Eradication Army demonstrates how to eliminate fiends,” Yin Wuyou said.

Seeing Zhou Shu’s puzzled expression, she continued to explain, “At that time, we will choose some demons and fiends from the prison, and then the teams of the Demon Executing Army and the Fiend Eradication Army will fight them in the martial arts arena.”

Zhou Shu nodded thoughtfully. Isn’t it like the Colosseum?

“Won’t there be casualties in actual battles?” Zhou Shu asked.

“Since they’re real battles, injuries are unavoidable,” Yin Wuyou said matter-of-factly. “That’s true.” Zhou Shu pondered.

“You don’t have to think too much about the military segment. It has nothing to do with you,” Yin Wuyou said.

“You don’t have to worry about building the Huaxia Pavilion. I’ll think of a way to find more craftsmen.” Yin Wuyou had also heard about the Huaxia Pavilion. Many of the ideas that Zhou Shu had proposed were difficult for the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works to realize.

Zhou Shu nodded. He wasn’t in a hurry.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. The Huaxia Pavilion was a huge piece of land. Even for construction maniacs in his previous life, it would take some time to build it properly. Slow work would produce fine work. If he was too anxious, it might affect the overall effect.

After leaving the Forging Division, Zhou Shu didn’t return to the marquis’s mansion. Instead, he began walking in a certain direction.

As the imperial capital of Great Xia, Chang’an’s property prices were comparable to the imperial capital of Zhou Shu’s previous life.

His three generations of ancestors had not been able to live in Chang’an.

It was only because Zhou Shu got lucky that he now had two houses in Chang’an. Moreover, he didn’t even spend money to buy them.

Looking at the exquisite courtyard in front of him, Zhou Shu sighed. The Demon Executing Army seems to be treated quite well.

The place he was standing at was the entrance of the Demon Executing Army’s Lieutenant Yin Chengshan’s house.

The last time Yin Chengshan visited him, he had specially left his address.

When Zhou Shu thought about how Yin Chengshan could easily take out 1,000 taels of gold and even have such a house in such a good location. If he had earned all this himself, then the Demon Executing Army was really treated quite well.

“Marquis?”

Zhou Shu knocked on the door. He didn’t expect Yin Chengshan to be the one who opened the door!

Seeing Zhou Shu outside the door, Yin Chengshan was overjoyed. “General Yin, are you preparing to go out?” Zhou Shu asked when he saw Yin Chengshan fully dressed.

“It’s fine,” Yin Chengshan hurriedly said. “It’s nothing important. Marquis, you bring light to my humble dwelling. Please come in, Marquis!”

Yin Chengshan enthusiastically invited Zhou Shu into the guest hall and then got someone to serve him tea.

He even specially called his wife out to greet Zhou Shu. She was a gentle and refined woman, and her appearance and temperament were quite extraordinary.

“General Yin, you are so lucky,” Zhou Shu praised with a smile.

“You flatter me, Marquis.” Yin Chengshan smiled. “Marquis, if you have any instructions, you can just send someone over. You didn’t have to come over personally.”

Although Yin Chengshan was a sixth-rank expert, and his official position was also fifth-rank, in front of a second-rank marquis, both his rankings were nothing in comparison.

Therefore, Yin Chengshan’s att.i.tude was very humble. Moreover, he was the one who needed a favor from Zhou Shu.

“I happened to be nearby, so I decided to drop by.” Zhou Shu smiled. “The Black Iron Gold Crystal you left behind last time helped me greatly. I owe you a favor.”

“Marquis, you’re welcome.” Yin Chengshan hurriedly said. “It’s my honor to be able to help you, Marquis.”

“That being said,” Zhou Shu shook his head and continued, “I’m unable to help you forge a weapon for the time being. First, I might not have the time in the near future, and second, I don’t know what weapon to forge for you.” “It’s all right, Marquis. I’m in no hurry, really,” Yin Chengshan hurriedly said.

Although Zhou Shu still refused, Yin Chengshan was a smart person. He could naturally tell that Zhou Shu meant that when he was free, he would help him forge a weapon.

“You are a lieutenant of the Demon Executing Army. You fight with demons in order to protect the peace of Great Xia. How can you have no weapons?” Zhou Shu shook his head. “General Yin, the lives of your Demon Executing Army soldiers are very important to Great Xia.”

“Marquis— ” Yin Chengshan was touched.

The Demon Executing Army had indeed fought with the demons who caused trouble all year round. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were walking on the line between life and death.

Although the Demon Executing Army enjoyed generous benefits, as ranked martial artists, they were also just making a living.

Admittedly, they joined the Demon Executing Army because they would be treated well. But it was undeniable that they also had the intention to protect the peace of Great Xia.

Now that he had obtained Zhou Shu’s approval, Yin Chengshan felt his heart race. He felt that all these years of fighting had been worth it.

“General Yin, I can’t help to slay demons, but I can’t bear to see the soldiers who shed blood for the country without weapons,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “Although I can’t customize a ranked weapon for you yet, I have a weapon that I can lend to you temporarily. “I remember that you are going to lead a team to partic.i.p.ate in the Great Xia military parade, right? How can you perform without a good weapon?”

“Is this… appropriate?” Yin Chengshan was a little tempted. Although he was rich, it wasn’t easy to buy a ranked weapon. In his previous mission, his saber had been damaged. Although the Imperial Court had compensated him, he still had to depend on his luck to obtain a suitable ranked weapon.

He had gone to find Zhou Shu previously with the intention of trying his luck.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Shu to value him so much. Although Zhou Shu hadn’t forged a weapon for him, he had specifically come to lend him a ranked weapon. “Of course.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I don’t usually have the chance to fight with others. This weapon is useless to me. Why don’t I lend it to you first? If you can kill one or two greater demons, I would have done my bit to help.

“General Yin, take a look.” Zhou Shu reached out and took a heavy sword from his back. “General Yin, although you specialize in using sabers, this is a heavy sword. It’s not impossible to use it as a saber.”

Yin Chengshan’s gaze fell upon the broad heavy sword in Zhou Shu’s hand. Although he was skilled in using sabers, he had also practiced sword techniques in the Demon Executing Army. Moreover, this heavy sword seemed like it was suitable for cavalry combat. Why does this sword look so familiar? Yin Chengshan muttered in his head.

“General Yin, you can try this sword. While I’m still here, I can explain the characteristics of this sword to you.” Zhou Shu extended his arm forward.

Yin Chengshan reached out and took the sword. His arm suddenly sank, and the sword almost fell to the floor.

He quickly circulated his spiritual essence, and his face turned red.

“What a heavy sword!”

A look of surprise flashed across his face as he raised the heavy sword.

He couldn’t even tell that the sword was so heavy when Zhou Shu was carrying it on his back. Although the marquis’s spiritual essence cultivation isn’t high, his innate divine strength is enviable.

Yin Chengshan was a sixth-rank martial artist after all. Furthermore, the saber he used previously wasn’t light either.

Even though he had miscalculated when he took the Great Destroyer Sword from Zhou Shu, he was still able to use it.

He waved it twice and injected a strand of spiritual essence into it.

The body of the sword lit up, and he could see the flow of spiritual essence within it. It looked as though spiritual essence was circulating within the body of a person.

After a few cycles, sword qi shot out with a swoosh.

Swis.h.!.+

A bottomless pit appeared on the floor.

Yin Chengshan was shocked. This sword seemed to be very powerful.

“Marquis, is this a yellow-grade weapon?” Yin Chengshan asked.

“Of course.” Zhou Shu smiled. “General Yin, if you want to use an earth-grade weapon, I’m afraid it will take some time.”

Yin Chengshan smiled awkwardly. He was a little delusional. With his cultivation level, it was already not bad to have a yellow-grade weapon. Not to mention an earth-grade weapon, he didn’t even dare to think about a black-grade weapon.

“Good sword!” Yin Chengshan brandished it again for a while, then looked at Zhou Shu and said, “Marquis, this is such a good sword. I’m afraid I will damage it…”

“Damage?” Zhou Shu shook his head and smiled. “General Yin, do you recognize this sword?”

“No.” Yin Chengshan shook his head.

Zhou Shu clasped his hands behind his back and calmly said, “This sword is named Great Destroyer.” “Great Destroyer?” Yin Chengshan was stunned for a moment before his expression changed. “The Great Destroyer Sword? The number one sword in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual? The Great Destroyer Sword that severed Great Wei’s imperial preceptor’s right arm?”

“I don’t think there’s a second Great Destroyer Sword in this world.” Zhou Shu laughed.

Yin Chengshan’s face was full of shock, and his arms were trembling slightly.

It was not because the Great Destroyer Sword was too heavy, but because he was too excited.

This was the Great Destroyer Sword!

It even cut off the arm of a first-rank martial artist!

Could he, Yin Chengshan, damage it?

“I didn’t expect that I would one day be able to use the weapon ranked first in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual.”

Yin Chengshan had a thought. He was puzzled. Why was the Great Destroyer Sword in the hands of the You Marquis?

“Don’t ask me how this sword came about. I can only tell you that there is no problem with its origins. His Majesty also knows about it,” Zhou Shu said. He didn’t want too many people to know about his senior brother and junior brother’s lies.

“Its current owner is me. General Yin, feel free to use it.” Zhou Shu smiled. “However, when you have your own ranked weapon, you will have to return this Great Destroyer to me.”

“Of course,” Yin Chengshan hurriedly said. He couldn’t bear to reject it now. It was already a blessing of three lifetimes to be able to use the Great Destroyer Sword for a period of time!

“Marquis, how can I repay such great kindness?”

“General Yin, you fight for Great Xia. How can Great Xia disappoint you? It’s just a swe Even if I keep it, I won’t be able to use it.

“General Yin, if you really want to thank me, I have a request,” Zhou Shu said casually.

-Asually.

Yin Chengshan’s expression was serious as he said in a low voice, “Please speak, Marquis. As long as I can do it, I will not decline.” “It’s not that serious.” Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head. “I’ve heard that the Demon Executing Army will demonstrate slaying demons in front of everyone during the military parade. “To be honest, General Yin, I have never seen a demon before.

“The next time you go to slay demons, I wonder if you can bring me along to broaden my horizons?”

When Zhou Shu heard Yin Wuyou talking about the actual combat segment of the military parade, he suddenly thought of lending the Great Destroyer Sword to Yin Chengshan.

With the Great Destroyer Sword in his hands, he had not had the chance to complete any kills with it recently. Without completing kills, the Legendary Armament Canon wouldn’t give him any benefits, and his strength would stagnate.

He couldn’t accept this.

It was true that Zhou Shu had no spare time to help Yin Chengshan forge a weapon, but he could lend him the Great Destroyer Sword first.

Wasn’t Yin Chengshan going to slay demons during the military parade?

Use the Great Destroyer Sword to do it then!

If not for the fact that he didn’t have enough time, he would’ve even thought of forging more ranked weapons and sending them to the Demon Executing Army.

It was a pity that forging a ranked weapon required a lot of time and effort. Even Zhou Shu couldn’t forge one just because he wanted to.

The Legendary Armament Canon wanted him to rely on himself. He had to spend a lot of time and effort to forge every ranked weapon.

“I see.” Yin Chengshan laughed. He didn’t expect Zhou Shu to say he wanted to see demons. If he wanted to see demons, wouldn’t that be easy?

The Demon Executing Army didn’t have anything else but demons. “Marquis, that’s easy,” Yin Chengshan said. “We have been practicing our demon executing in preparation for the military parade. If you have time, you can come with me. “When we’re practicing now, we’ll also bring some demons who have been sentenced to death for practice. When you arrived earlier, I was about to go train.

“Now that I have your Great Destroyer Sword, I want to familiarize myself with it.

“There’s no time like the present. Do you have time today, Marquis?”

“Yes, of course. Let’s go now!” Zhou Shu said excitedly.
