Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 123: Revenge Waits For No One

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was late at night. The main streets of Chang’an were still brightly lit.

But outside the main streets, the city was already in darkness.

In the darkness of the night, a faintly discernible figure leaped up and down the roofs of houses, heading toward the city wall.

A moment later, the figure had already aimed at the gap in the patrol of the guards on the city wall. With a leap, he directly landed outside the city wall.

This figure was none other than Zhou Shu!

During the day, Zhou Shu had broken through in front of Yin Wuyou, and then Yin Wuyou had excitedly rushed into the palace.

Not long after, she returned dejectedly. She told Zhou Shu not to be anxious and then left.

Zhou Shu wondered why she told him not to be anxious.

Did she know that he was anxious?

Zhou Shu thought for a moment and decided to pretend he didn’t hear anything. He was just anxious and didn’t want to wait any longer!

The Golden Bell Shield Technique had broken through to the tenth level. Although the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique hadn’t broken through to the eleventh level, it had also improved greatly. Even the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form had also improved.

Zhou Shu felt that his cultivation level had improved once again.

Now, if he encountered Xiao Shunzhi again, even if he didn’t leave heaven-grade sabers behind, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed!

In that case, he had to seek revenge!

That brat Shen Yue had lost 10,000 gold taels to him and wanted to use a heaven-grade weapon to repay his debt?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t use a heaven-grade weapon to repay the debt. The problem was that this heaven-grade weapon was originally his!

Ever since Zhou Shu debuted, he had never suffered such a huge loss!

If he couldn’t vent his anger, even the title of nobility wouldn’t make him happy!

Zhou Shu moved like lightning, quickly passing through the outskirts of the capital.

After he reached the tenth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, his internal strength had already returned to its origin. His true qi was extremely vigorous, and he could injure anyone with it. Furthermore, his only weakness was one inch from his vital point. Unless someone pierced him within this one inch, any ordinary attack would not be able to hurt him.

At this moment, although Zhou Shu had yet to learn any lightness technique, with the support of his powerful true qi, his running speed was no less than that of a fast horse.

Zhou Shu only took a few moments to arrive at the post house from the capital.

He could faintly feel that there seemed to be a blazing sun in the post house even when he was still a distance away.

This should be Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi!

After his Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form improved, he could already faintly sense Xiao Shunzhi’s strength.

Previously, he couldn’t even sense Xiao Shunzhi’s existence.

The Great Wei imperial preceptor is indeed very strong!

In the past, there had been no comparison. Now that Zhou Shu had cultivated the Emperor Xuan Jade Book, his body also had spiritual essence equivalent to a ninth-rank martial artist.

Compared to Xiao Shunzhi, the little bit of spiritual essence in his body was almost nothing.

This wasn’t just the difference between heaven and earth. This was the difference between the ninth heaven and eighteenth level of hell.

A first-rank martial artist and a ninth-rank martial artist were indeed two different existences!

The ninth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique couldn’t block Xiao Shunzhi’s attack, and he didn’t know if the tenth level would be able to block it!

He reckoned that it would be difficult as well. If he wanted to completely block Xiao Shunzhi’s attack, he would have to wait until the twelfth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, when he reached perfection in it.

But it wouldn’t be easy for Xiao Shunzhi to completely break the defense of the tenth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique.

Let’s put it this way. He would be able to take on Xiao Shunzhi’s attack with the tenth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique. He might get injured, but it wouldn’t kill him.

The attack of a first-rank martial artist was very powerful. It was already very impressive that he wouldn’t die from it.

Even so, Zhou Shu didn’t want to fight Xiao Shunzhi head-on.

He wasn’t here to fight. Even if he wanted to fight, he had to take revenge first, right?

Zhou Shu slowly circulated the true qi in his body, hiding the aura of his spiritual essence.

At the same time, he visualized the Five Mountains’ True Form in his consciousness. Even his spiritual fluctuations were completely restrained, as if he had become a rock.

Then he quietly approached the post house.

Zhou Shou knew that Great Wei’s diplomatic mission had set up sentries around the post house.

When he and Yin Wuyou came over in the day, those scouts had informed the people in the post house beforehand.

At the time, Zhou Shu had already used his divine sense to locate the sentries.

The divine sense was the result of Zhou Shu cultivating the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form. It was a power that was of a higher level than true qi or spiritual essence.

Zhou Shu didn’t know if a first-rank martial artist had similar abilities, but it was obvious that Xiao Shunzhi couldn’t detect his divine sense.

Since he knew what he was doing, Zhou Shu was naturally able to move with ease.

Without alerting any scouts, he had already entered the post house.

The post house was now used to receive Great Wei’s diplomatic mission. Other than a few postmasters, the rest of the people in the post house were from the Great Wei diplomatic mission.

Zhou Shu released his divine sense, enveloping a ten-foot radius around him. Within this ten-foot radius, no matter what happened, nothing could escape his divine sense.

Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t sense anything from ten feet away. It was just more effective within ten feet.

Zhou Shu had only walked a few steps into the post house when he discovered several third or fourth-rank experts.

Fortunately, none of them had discovered his divine sense.

Upon discovering this fact, Zhou Shu became even more cautious.

Great Wei’s diplomatic mission was stronger than he had imagined.

If he was discovered, there would be a fierce battle.

Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid of being beaten to death. After all, he had the Golden Bell Shield Technique protecting him. Even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape.

However, being ganged up on was definitely not a good experience.

Zhou Shu definitely didn’t want to try.

One diplomatic mission has so many experts. I’ve already killed one third-rank martial artist, but there are still three more! Are there so many experts in Great Wei?

He had a feeling that there was something wrong with Great Wei’s diplomatic mission.

Did a normal diplomatic mission need to send so many experts?

Even if both countries were at war, envoys shouldn’t be touched. Great Xia still had this bit of grace.

Furthermore, if Great Xia really wanted to kill them, even if more third-rank martial artists came along, it would be useless.

As for the safety of the diplomatic mission, the imperial preceptor was a first-rank martial artist. Would bandits be tired of living and rob them?

But if he could think of all these things, the Imperial Court would definitely be able to think of it as well.

Zhou Shu didn’t believe that the Great Xia Imperial Court wouldn’t know about the arrival of so many experts from Great Wei!

Last time, he saw a man who was not the slightest bit weaker than Xiao Shunzhi come to this post house. This person was probably an expert of Great Xia.

Zhou Shu did his best to avoid the area where Xiao Shunzhi was. Although he was very confident in his saber art, first-rank martial artists were already another realm. Who knew what abilities they had?

With the help of his divine sense, Zhou Shu quickly found Shen Yue’s room.

In the middle of the night, Shen Yue was still awake and cultivating.

Indeed, no one could succeed easily, except…

Shen Yue was already a fourth-rank martial artist at such a young age. Although it had to do with talent, it also couldn’t do without his hard work.

What one was most afraid of was talented people who were hardworking. Ordinary people were completely no match for them at all.

Zhou Shu cursed in his heart.

With Shen Yue’s age, being able to have a fourth-rank Martial Dao cultivation was definitely amazing.

Although Yin Wuyou was younger than him and had a higher cultivation level than him, Zhou Shu estimated that there must be some reasons behind Yin Wuyou’s current cultivation level.

Perhaps she was a monster like Lu Wenshuang from Qingzhou.

Other than those few monsters, people like Shen Yue were already extremely rare.

Mi Ziwen was very powerful, wasn’t he? He was the eldest son of the richest family in Great Xia, the only successor of Great Xia’s God of War. He was a few years older than Shen Yue, but he was only a fourth-rank martial artist.

A third-rank martial artist was also known as a Grandmaster. The threshold between a fourth-rank martial artist to a third-rank martial artist was a bottleneck that countless martial arts elites encountered.

Zhou Shu silently stood outside Shen Yue’s window. As his thoughts ran wild, he seriously considered robbing him…

If he could rob Shen Yue without alerting Xiao Shunzhi, that would naturally be the best.

Zhou Shu glanced in the direction where Xiao Shunzhi was. Shen Yue’s room was only several meters away from Xiao Shunzhi’s room.

After all, this post house was not very big.

To an expert like Xiao Shunzhi, such a close distance was practically nonexistent.

As long as there was a slight movement, he would be able to detect it immediately.

Once he sensed it, Zhou Shu would have no time to rob him.

Although Shen Yue’s fourth-rank cultivation wasn’t low, Zhou Shu estimated that with his cultivation, if he attacked with his full strength, he would be able to defeat Shen Yue in three moves.

The problem was that he had the confidence to put Shen Yue down, but he didn’t have the confidence to do so without alerting Xiao Shunzhi.

If only there was some incense or something like this, I could just blow on it and make Shen Yue fall asleep.

Zhou Shu was not completely out of ideas.

The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form!

This mystic technique for cultivating one’s spirit was also an offensive technique. It could unleash spiritual attacks.

When Zhou Shu had first obtained the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, he had used it to kill Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai. He had also used it to stun Hongxiu from Lichun Courtyard.

However, Shen Yue was different from the three of them. Shen Yue was a fourth-rank martial artist. Even though Zhou Shu’s Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form was much stronger than before, he wasn’t sure he would be able to knock Shen Yue out with one strike.

If he didn’t completely lose consciousness, then Xiao Shunzhi would definitely be alerted.

Just as Zhou Shu was deep in thought, an explosion suddenly sounded in midair.

A voice sounded. “Xiao Shunzhi, I’m here again. Let’s fight another three hundred rounds!”

Accompanying this voice, streaks of lightning appeared in the sky. A handsome middle-aged man stepped on the thunderclouds like a god of lightning.

“Yin Changhao! Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Xiao Shunzhi’s voice filled with anger rang out, and then a golden light shot into the sky from the post house. “You come to harass me every few days. Is this the attitude your Great Xia has toward the diplomatic mission from another country?”

“Xiao Shunzhi, don’t get the diplomatic mission involved. This is our personal grudge!”

The middle-aged man said disdainfully, “I’m just here to spar with you. If you don’t dare, just say it. I won’t force you.”

Xiao Shunzhi’s expression was gloomy. “You asked for it. Don’t blame me for being impolite!”

A huge golden palm slapped toward the man.

Yin Changhao laughed and raised his hand. A bolt of lightning struck the palm.

With a loud boom, the two of them began fighting.

Good opportunity!?Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. In his divine sense, Shen Yue was already awakened by this commotion. He opened his eyes and prepared to come out to check.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Shu activated the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form and pressed toward Shen Yue.

Boom!

The moment Shen Yue got off the bed, he suddenly felt as if five towering mountains had appeared in front of him and pressed down on him.

The mountains were so tall that they brought with them an endless sense of oppression. Just one look at them made his limbs turn cold, and his breathing became somewhat irregular.

However, he was indeed impressive. In the blink of an eye, he had already bit the tip of his tongue and endured the intense pain in his head to regain consciousness.

But when experts exchanged blows, one second was enough to change the outcome.

Just as he regained consciousness, a fist the size of a clay pot filled his vision.

Bang!

Shen Yue blacked out and fainted.

Even when he fainted, he didn’t see who had ambushed him!

Bang!

Zhou Shu punched the unconscious Shen Yue again before nodding in satisfaction.?Symmetry is perfect.

He no longer paid attention to Shen Yue, who had fainted on the floor. Right now, two experts were fighting outside, and the commotion had completely covered up the noise here.

Zhou Shu quickly searched the room.

A moment later, he put a stack of banknotes into his pocket in disappointment.

You boasted so much, yet you’re just a poor man! No wonder you didn’t pay your betting debt. So you can’t afford it!?Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue with disdain.

Shen Yue is just a deputy envoy. Will the main envoy be richer?

Zhou Shu looked toward Xiao Shunzhi’s room, and his heart began to itch uncontrollably!

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have this thought. After all, Xiao Shunzhi wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

But now that Xiao Shunzhi was being entangled by the expert outside, there shouldn’t be anyone in his room, right?

There’s no time to lose. There won’t be another chance like this. I’ll go take a look!?Zhou Shu made a straightforward decision.

Covered by the sound of the chaos outside, his figure moved like lightning, avoiding the other experts of Great Wei’s diplomatic mission, who had already rushed into the courtyard to watch the show. Then like a wisp of smoke, he entered Xiao Shunzhi’s room.

A moment later, a sneaky figure came out of Xiao Shunzhi’s room, quickly climbed over the wall of the post house, and disappeared into the night.

At this moment, lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, and Yin Changhao retreated dozens of feet.

He stood in the air and waved at Xiao Shunzhi. “That’s all for today. As expected of my opponent, Old Xiao, you’re really strong. It’s hard to determine the outcome today. Wait for me to go back and practice my ultimate move. We’ll fight another day!”

Yin Changhao turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared.

Xiao Shunzhi looked in the direction Yin Changhao disappeared with a gloomy expression.

It was only because this was Great Xia that he restrained himself. Otherwise, he would definitely teach Yin Changhao a lesson!

He snorted and landed on the ground.

“Go back to sleep! What’s there to see!” Xiao Shunzhi berated. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and returned to his room.

A moment later, an angry roar came from Xiao Shunzhi’s room. “Yin Changhao!”
