Chapter 504: The Ming Hong Saber’s Reward (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The two demonic beasts fell to the ground and died.

If demonic beasts were proficient in saber techniques, they would definitely be able to see the power of Zhou Shu’s strike.

But even the first-rank demonic beasts weren’t knowledgeable enough to see the power of Zhou Shu’s saber technique.

In their opinion, it was normal for a first-rank martial artist to kill two demonic beasts that were not even third-rank martial artists.

Even so, this first-rank human martial artist had already been sent flying by them. With so many of them joining forces, he would definitely die.

[The Ming Hong Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. You are rewarded with the divine ability, Myriad Transformations!]

[The Ming Hong Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. The divine ability Myriad Transformations +1.]

Two messages flashed before Zhou Shu’s eyes. He was delighted, but he pretended to be in pain.

“You guys are so strong. I’m not your match!” Zhou Shu clutched his chest as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. “I’ll be back!”

He turned around, picked up Xiao Jianghe, and ran.

In a few breaths, he had already disappeared into the forest.

The demonic beasts were stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened. They were instantly furious.

“Chase! Don’t let them get away! We have to find out where they came from! And whether they’re responsible for the phenomenon earlier!” a humanoid demonic beast shouted.

“There’s a human army hidden in the Demon Realm. The lords are looking for them. I suspect that these two people belong to that human army. If we capture them, the Great Demons will definitely reward us handsomely!” another demonic beast shouted.

They roared into the forest and chased after Zhou Shu.

…

“Your Highness, how long do we have to run? Why don’t we kill them all?” Xiao Jianghe had already completely refined the Huben Saber. He followed Zhou Shu and ran forward, puzzled.

This time, he wasn’t being arrogant. Instead, he felt that with Zhou Shu’s cultivation, he could easily kill the hundreds of demonic beasts behind them.

Not to mention Zhou Shu, if he didn’t consider the first-rank demonic beasts, he, Xiao Jianghe, could kill all the other ones.

“Kill them all. Then what?” Zhou Shu asked. “You don’t think they’re all alone, do you?

“Jianghe, you’re also a leader. Think about it. If they all die here, what will the demonic beasts behind them, the demonic beasts of their race, think? Will they send demonic beasts to investigate their deaths?

“If we really attract too many demonic beasts, can our Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch still hide?

“Demonic beasts are not wild beasts. They have brains too. We can’t underestimate them too much.”

“Your Highness, I didn’t—” Xiao Jianghe wanted to explain that he didn’t underestimate his enemy.

He was just too confident in Zhou Shu.

“I know you didn’t.” Zhou Shu shook his head and interrupted him. “Let me ask you. How did you feel after refining the Huben Saber?”

“Feel?” Xiao Jianghe’s expression turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, “After refining the Huben Saber, I feel that my meridians have widened by at least ten percent! In terms of overall strength, it has at least increased by fifty percent! It might even be more.”

Xiao Jianghe was a first-rank martial artist. With his strength, it was extremely difficult for him to improve further.

The increase in strength he mentioned was based on his previous possession of a heaven-grade weapon.

With the Huben Saber, Xiao Jianghe felt that he could already dominate the first-rank Martial Dao realm.

He might not be able to dominate the first-rank demonic beasts in the Demon Realm. But among the first-rank martial artists on the Ten Nations Continent, even if he fought against the number one person in the Ten Nations, the Qin Emperor, Xiao Jianghe felt that he might not lose.

“The Huben Saber you refined is a connate divine weapon,” Zhou Shu continued. “As you can see, connate divine weapons are extremely powerful. If a martial artist can have a connate divine weapon as their intrinsic divine weapon, then it goes without saying that it will increase the strength of the martial artist.

“We’re fighting behind enemy lines now. I don’t need to tell you how important connate divine weapons are to us.

“But forging a connate divine weapon causes too much commotion. Every time a weapon is forged, it is destined to attract the attention of the demons in the Demon Realm.

“If I want to forge connate divine weapons safely in the future, I have to think of a way.”

“Your Highness, the method you mentioned is related to those demonic beasts chasing after us?”

Xiao Jianghe was a sharp person. A stupid person couldn’t switch from being a Forging Master to cultivating the Martial Dao and could still successfully cultivate to the first rank.

“I just thought of something. I still have to think about the specifics,” Zhou Shu said. “However, we can indeed make use of these demonic beasts.”

Xiao Jianghe nodded. He also began to think about how Zhou Shu could forge connate divine weapons without attracting the attention of the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm.

After thinking about it, he still felt that since forging connate divine weapons would definitely cause phenomena, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm. The only way was to make the demonic beasts become accustomed to the phenomena.

Could it be that His Highness’s method is to let the demonic beasts chasing us spread some fake news?

But what reason is there to explain the phenomenon?

How will we make these demonic beasts believe our words?

Xiao Jianghe couldn’t figure it out no matter how he thought about it. Zhou Shu didn’t explain and just led the demonic beasts around the mountains.

Fortunately, the Demon Realm was vast, and this forest was a remote place. Otherwise, more demonic beasts would have joined long ago. Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe would probably have been surrounded by now.

While circling around for a few days, Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe slowed down from time to time and deliberately let the demonic beasts catch up to them. Then they would fight and escape with difficulty.

Often, when these demonic beasts thought that they were about to capture the two of them alive, they were always a step away.

They gritted their teeth and chased after Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe.

No one was willing to give up.

On this day, the demonic beasts caught up to Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe again. After a huge battle, the two of them were covered in wounds. In the end, they narrowly escaped the encirclement again and distanced themselves from the pursuers.

After they crossed a mountain and avoided the sight of his pursuers, Zhou Shu’s body flashed, and his injuries disappeared.

Xiao Jianghe was envious. Zhou Shu was pretending to be injured, but he was really injured.

Every time the demonic beasts caught up to him, in order not to be seen through, Zhou Shu didn’t help Xiao Jianghe. Xiao Jianghe was really walking on the line between life and death. If anything went wrong, he might really die.

After all, there were a few first-rank demonic beasts among the hundreds of demonic beasts. Without Zhou Shu revealing his true strength, the two of them were no match for them.

“It’s almost time. We can take action now,” Zhou Shu said.

“Can we end this now?” Xiao Jianghe heaved a long sigh of relief. If this continued, he really couldn’t guarantee that he would survive.

He wasn’t even afraid of death. He just felt too aggrieved to die like this.

“Follow me!” Zhou Shu grabbed Xiao Jianghe’s shoulder and turned into a stream of light.

Xiao Jianghe felt his vision turn blurry. When he landed on his feet again, the scene in front of him had changed drastically.

“Where is this?” Xiao Jianghe was stunned. Wasn’t this the place where they had just been attacked?

“Fortunately, demonic beasts don’t have the habit of taking away the corpses of their companions,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.

Xiao Jianghe didn’t understand. He suddenly saw Zhou Shu reach out and wave his hand across the two demonic beast corpses on the ground.

Then something that stunned him happened.

The corpses of the two demonic beasts slowly transformed into him and Zhou Shu!

“This…” Xiao Jianghe stammered, his fingers trembling.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that the two corpses on the ground were their own.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t see any flaws!

“Not bad. Perfect!” Zhou Shu clapped his hands in satisfaction and smiled. “With these two corpses as proof, do you think we can sneak into the demonic beasts chasing us?”
