If Yao Qing hadn’t been intimidated, he would have attacked directly.
In fact, if any bold demonic beast had dared to attack Zhou Shu, the demonic beast might have been able to kill him.
After using his divine ability Total Annihilation, Zhou Shu’s condition could be said to be the most fragile since he came to this world.
Even an unranked demonic beast could easily take his life.
And this divine ability could only last for a short time. It was unrealistic to rely on it to kill the Demon Realm army.
It was already beyond his expectations that he could temporarily scare Yao Qing into retreating.
But after he did so, there would be no end of troubles.
Yao Qing was scared away. If someone from the Demon Realm came again, their cultivation would probably far exceed Yao Qing’s.
In Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, Yao Buqi sat in a corner, trembling.
In the previous battle, Yin Wuyou had knocked him out and buried him under a pile of rocks.
But his demonic beast body was abnormally powerful, so he woke up much earlier than Yin Wuyou had expected.
At the time, he had crawled out of the pile of rocks. He had planned to gather his subordinates and escape.
In the end, he happened to see the scene of Zhou Shu killing hundreds of demonic beasts with one strike and then killing Yao Ji in passing…
This completely scared him silly.
This was Yao Ji!
Among the younger generation of the Demon Realm, he was ranked in the top hundred!
The strength of the Demon Realm experts who had come to this world this time was enough to rank in the top five!
Such an existence had been killed with a single blow?
Although Yao Buqi had been captured alive by Zhou Shu, Yao Buqi had always thought that he had been careless. Even if Zhou Shu was slightly stronger than him, his strength was limited.
But now he knew he’d been wrong, ridiculously wrong!
He even suspected that Zhou Shu had been pretending all along. He had deliberately done this so that Yao Buqi would ask for reinforcements for him to kill…
Other than the lord, who would be able to defeat him?
Yao Buqi was full of despair. He now felt that he was inviting reinforcements into a trap!
…
A day later, Zhou Shu recovered from his weakened state.
He walked out of his room. The area around the camp had been cleaned by Shi Songtao and the others. Even the damaged walls had been repaired.
Although no one was suppressing Yao Buqi, he didn’t dare to escape. Instead, he obediently ordered his demonic beasts to cooperate with Shi Songtao.
This was why the camp had been cleaned up so quickly.
Mei Wushang and the others were all injured, but they still stood upright, waiting for Zhou Shu to speak.
Zhou Shu’s gaze swept over everyone.
There were only about thirty people left in the team of nearly a hundred people. During the battle, more than half of them had died.
The remaining 30-odd people were all injured.
The one with the lightest injuries was Mei Wushang, who had been badly injured before!
Zhou Shu sighed inwardly. This was a group of crippled soldiers.
The reason he was in a hurry to upgrade the Great Destroyer Sword was that they couldn’t stop the Demon Realm army.
Once the battle began, he would be held back by Yao Qing. The remaining people would quickly be wiped out when facing the 5,000-strong demonic beast army.
He hoped that after the Great Destroyer Sword was upgraded, he would have a chance to quickly defeat Yao Qing and then deal with the demonic beast army.
Now that the Great Destroyer Sword had been upgraded, its effect was surprisingly good. Not to mention, he had obtained the divine ability Total Annihilation.
If not for this divine ability, which allowed his cultivation to increase by ten times in a short period of time, even with the upgraded Great Destroyer Sword, the final outcome would be that everyone from Great Xia would die.
The current outcome was already considered very good.
War had always been cruel.
“Does anyone still have the strength to fight?” Zhou Shu asked.
It was impossible to leave the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield within three years.
In other words, even if they left this place, they wouldn’t be able to escape. Sooner or later, they would still have to face the army of the Demon Realm.
Here, only when one side was completely dead would the other side be completely safe.
Zhou Shu didn’t have much of a concept of this in the past. After this battle, he truly realized how cruel it was.
“Your Highness, we can still fight!” Mei Wushang and the others said solemnly.
“Good. Everyone.” Zhou Shu nodded. “I have a mission for everyone.”
“Your Highness, please instruct us. We will definitely complete the mission even if we have to risk our lives!” Everyone spoke in unison.
“I have to make it clear that this mission may be very dangerous. You might die en route. If anyone doesn’t want to do it, I won’t force you,” Zhou Shu said.
“Your Highness, if we were afraid of dying in battle, we wouldn’t be here,” Mei Wushang said. “In the previous battle, none of us took a step back!”
“I said the wrong thing. Everyone here is a warrior,” Zhou Shu said. “In that case, I won’t beat around the bush.
“The strength of the Demon Realm army this time far exceeds that of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament in the past. Therefore, it’s not just Great Xia. The situation of the other nations won’t be too good either.
“But we can’t worry about that. We’ll just have to look after ourselves.
“The Great Xia army has been scattered by the Demon Realm Army. Now, they’re scattered everywhere and fighting for themselves. This will give the Demon Realm army a chance to defeat them one by one. Therefore, we need to gather everyone and fight the Demon Realm army together!
“Now, we’ve lost contact with the army, and the sound transmission stone has failed for some reason. Therefore, we have to rely on everyone to locate the main army.”
