There was a slight tremor in the ground. A few kilometers away, smoke and dust rose into the sky. The Demon Realm army was not far away.
Yin Wuyou knew the severity of the situation. There couldn’t be no experts in the camp for too long.
Apart from Zhou Shu, she was the only other expert. Shi Songtao’s and Haitang’s strength was almost negligible.
“Be careful!” Yin Wuyou said before shouting at the Great Xia soldiers, “Let’s go!”
She turned into a stream of light and headed for the camp.
There were only a few dozen kilometers left. She didn’t have to worry that the Great Xia soldiers wouldn’t be able to find the camp. She couldn’t let the demonic beasts revolt at the camp. She had to return first.
“Go help Her Highness guard the camp first. I’ll help His Highness!” A voice sounded.
Only then did Zhou Shu realize that the leader of this group of Great Xia soldiers was actually Mei Wushang!
He was the owner Zhou Shu had chosen for the Heavenly Halberd!
What a coincidence.
“You don’t have to. Wushang, you go to the camp too.” Zhou Shu shook his head.
The reason he rushed over was that with the strength of these Great Xia soldiers, they would be caught up by the Demon Realm army before they reached the camp.
Without city walls, the consequences could be imagined once they were overtaken.
Zhou Shu had come over to help them stall for time.
When they arrived at the camp and defended on the city wall, there would be no problem in dealing with the Demon Realm army.
Mei Wushang was about to say something, but Zhou Shu waved his hand.
“This is an order!” Zhou Shu shouted. “Hurry to the camp ahead at full speed and assist Her Highness in setting up the defensive line!”
“As you command, General!” Mei Wushang said helplessly.
Watching the dozens of Great Xia soldiers running forward crazily, Zhou Shu temporarily put aside his messy thoughts and turned to look ahead.
Ahead, the Demon Realm army had already appeared in sight.
In the sky, a few bird-type demonic beasts suddenly flapped their several meter long wings, wanting to pass Zhou Shu and chase after Mei Wushang’s group.
“Hmph! I’m here, and you still want to go over.”
The Spring Embroidered Saber at his waist unsheathed and turned into a saber beam that shot into the sky.
Words could not describe the brilliance of the saber beam.
Just as the sound of the saber being unsheathed came, the heads of the bird-type demonic beasts in the air had already been separated from their bodies.
[The Spring Embroidered Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form has improved by 20%.]

[The Spring Embroidered Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form has improved by 50%.]
A few messages floated past his eyes, and his mind felt cool. He felt that his spiritual strength had become stronger, and his divine sense had increased significantly.
Zhou Shu had left the Great Destroyer Sword for Shi Songtao to protect himself. What he carried with him was the Spring Embroidered Saber that he had forged himself.
With his current cultivation, there was not much difference in strength between using the Great Destroyer Sword and using the Spring Embroidered Saber.
He was even more lethal with a saber.
After all, his Heavenly Saber Art was unfathomable.
Although the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique had already reached perfection, it was still quite far from the limitless Heavenly Saber Art.
Saber techniques were Zhou Shu’s strongest means of killing.
Even with just a standard saber, not many people below the Grandmaster level could withstand a single strike from him.
Swish!
The blood of the demonic beasts sprinkled down from the sky like a rain of blood.
Then the corpses of a few demonic beasts crashed to the ground.
At this moment, the Demon Realm army was only two to three kilometers away from Zhou Shu.
The entire Demon Realm army witnessed this scene.
The entire Demon Realm army paused for a moment.
These bird-type demonic beasts were not weak, but they were actually all killed with a single slash. The human opposite them was terrifying!
Zhou Shu stood with his saber horizontally, his expression unchanged as he faced the endless demonic beast army.
Every demonic beast in the army was gigantic.
In comparison, Zhou Shu’s body was as small as a sapling.
But as he stood there, his mountain-like aura dwarfed the Demon Realm army.
“Stop!” A dignified voice shouted a word that Zhou Shu didn’t understand.
The Demon Realm army stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed the pause button. They stopped a hundred meters away from Zhou Shu.
The contrast between a man and an army was stark.
But such a person had stopped an entire army.
“You were the one who caught Yao Buqi?” The authoritative voice spoke again.
This time, he didn’t speak in the demon language but in human language.
As expected, Yao Buqi had spread the news using some means!
Zhou Shu looked ahead and saw a figure slowly walk out of the Demon Realm army.
It was a human-like figure. He wasn’t tall. Even in the human race, his height was only average.
He walked out of the Demon Realm army like an ant out of a herd of elephants.
But in the Demon Realm army, countless demonic beasts lowered their heads and made way for this person, their bell-like eyes filled with fanatical worship and fear.
“That’s me.” Zhou Shu nodded and looked the person up and down.
If he wasn’t wrong, a demonic beast that could transform to human form seemed to have a respected status in the Demon Realm.
After capturing Yao Buqi, he could threaten the demonic beasts under him to become miners.
Was this guy in front of him the same?
But it looked like he was a little stronger than Yao Buqi.
Zhou Shu was able to catch Yao Buqi alive partly because he had caught him off guard and partly because his strength was average.
The person in front of him had an aura like the sea and was much stronger than Yao Buqi. Moreover, he knew that he had captured Yao Buqi and would definitely not be confused by his third-rank Martial Dao aura.
Even if Zhou Shu could defeat him, it was almost impossible to capture him alive.
If a first-rank martial artist wanted to leave, Zhou Shu wouldn’t be able to stop him, especially this first-rank martial artist who had thousands of demonic beast troops under him.
“State your name,” the humanoid demonic beast said coldly. “I don’t kill nameless people.”
This humanoid demonic beast’s command of the human language was much better than Yao Buqi’s.
The accent of a foreign language was barely discernible.
“Is that so?” Zhou Shu smiled faintly. “What a coincidence. It’s the same for me.
“Why don’t you tell me who you are before I decide if I should kill you?”
“How dare you!” the humanoid demonic beast roared angrily, and his aura suddenly exploded. His entire body was like an erupting volcano.
Airwaves spread out with him as the center.
Rumble!
The airwaves knocked down countless tall trees.
The Demon Realm army let out deep roars. The demonic beasts glowed with faint light as they resisted the heavy airwaves.
Strong, so strong!
Although he felt that this humanoid demonic beast was much stronger than Yao Buqi, when his aura truly erupted, Zhou Shu realized that this humanoid demonic beast was even stronger than he had imagined!
Zhou Shu was puzzled. According to Meng Bai’s description, although the Demon Realm that the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was facing was indeed very strong, first-rank experts were rare.
Why had he already encountered two of them not long after he arrived?
If first-rank experts were so common in the Demon Realm’s army, then how could the human race kill all the Demon Realm troops that entered this world every time?
“Release Yao Buqi, then kneel as a slave, and I will spare your life,” the humanoid demonic beast said coldly. “This is your only chance to live. Kneel!”
Zhou Shu looked at the humanoid demonic beast and laughed. “The last person who talked to me like that was Yao Buqi.
“He’s doing quite well as a head miner now. I think you’re not bad either.”
Zhou Shu stomped heavily on the ground. Layers of waves seemed to erupt on the ground and charged toward the humanoid demonic beast. They collided with the airwaves around his body with a loud bang.
The next moment, Zhou Shu’s figure suddenly disappeared, and the pupils of the humanoid demonic beast suddenly constricted.
