Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 156 The Great Destroyer Sword Slaying Demons

“General Yin, how exactly do the demonic beasts that your Demon Executing Army deals with look like? Can they transform into humans?” Zhou Shu asked curiously along the way.

He had heard of the Demon Executing and Fiend Eradication armies many times, but he knew nothing about them.

He knew that demons, fiends, and other strange entities existed in this world, but he wasn’t sure if it was the same as what he understood.

He had been in this world for so long, but he had never seen a single demon, fiend, or strange entity.

Previously, when he heard that Meng Bai’s army went to the southern border to deal with the southern barbarians, he thought that the so-called barbarians were another race that was different from humans.

It was only later that he learned that the southern barbarians were actually humans as well. However, they lived in the mountains and were uncivilized, so they were called barbarians.

He wondered if these demons were just called demons.

“Transform into human form?” Yin Chengshan shook his head. “Legend has it that once a great demon’s cultivation reaches a certain level, it can transform into human form, but I’ve never seen it before. In the history of the Demon Executing Army, no one has seen it before.

“Actually, there’s nothing special about the demon race. They are just slightly stronger than ordinary wild beasts and know how to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to cultivate.

“Most demons don’t have much intelligence. They are far inferior to us humans.”

Yin Chengshan had a proud look on his face. Their Demon Executing Army was responsible for dealing with the demon race. He had never taken the demon race seriously. … Even though there were many powerful demons that were indeed much stronger than him.

Hearing Yin Chengshan’s introduction, Zhou Shu finally had a rough understanding of demons.

In truth, it wasn’t too different from his understanding of demonic beasts. The so-called demonic beasts were beasts that took in the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and possessed a certain level of strength.

Of course, there were indeed some spiritual beasts in this world that were similar to the strange beasts that Zhou Shu had heard about in his previous life.

But according to Yin Chengshan’s understanding, demonic beasts that could speak human language and transform into humans didn’t seem to exist.

Even a demonic beast with first-rank Martial Dao cultivation wouldn’t be able to take human form.

“There aren’t many demonic beasts here in Great Xia. I heard that there are more demonic beasts in Great Qin in the west, and they are also much stronger,” Yin Chengshan continued. “Therefore, Great Qin’s Demon Executing Army is the strongest in the world.”

Great Qin was one of the ten countries on the land, and it was also the most powerful country.

In the past, Great Xia could still be compared to the Great Qin. But now that Great Xia had declined, it was already one of the weakest among the ten countries. As for Great Qin, it was still the strongest of the ten countries.

Zhou Shu was deep in thought. Great Qin is very competitive. It seems there are more chances for battles there than in Great Xia. Maybe I should make a trip there to distribute some weapons.

Zhou Shu loved giving his weapons to those battle maniacs, even if it was for free.

With the weapons in their hands, they would become his workers. At that time, he would just relax and receive benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon. When I have the chance, I will make a trip to Great Qin.

“Marquis, we’ve arrived. The Demon Executing Army’s headquarters is up ahead.” Yin Chengshan smiled.

The headquarters of the Demon Executing Army was located outside Chang’an. It was ten times larger than Zhou Shu’s Huaxia Pavilion.

Naturally, Zhou Shu couldn’t possibly tour the entire Demon Executing Army’s headquarters.

In reality, even if he wanted to, they wouldn’t agree.

The Demon Executing Army’s headquarters contained many secret locations. Even though Zhou Shu was a marquis, he was not allowed to enter without permission.

But Zhou Shu wasn’t here to visit the Demon Executing Army’s headquarters. He followed Yin Chengshan to the place where his team usually trained.

The Demon Executing Army’s establishment was completely different from that of the Country Protector Army. They were organized into small teams. A small team would have at least a few people and at most dozens of people. Usually, when they went on missions, they would usually go in teams.

Taking Yin Chengshan as an example, the team he was in had a total of 13 people.

In the team, Yin Chengshan, the team leader, was a sixth-rank martial artist. The other team members’ cultivation levels ranged from the sixth rank to the ninth rank.

With their strength, it wasn’t too much of a problem for them to deal with the lower three ranks of demonic beasts.

Under normal circumstances, they were only responsible for the lower three ranks of demonic beasts.

The so-called lower three ranks of demonic beasts were actually seventh-rank, eighth-rank, and ninth-rank demonic beasts.

“Captain!”

Yin Chengshan led Zhou Zhu into a place that resembled a small colosseum.

This place was over a hundred feet in radius and surrounded by tall stone walls. It looked exceptionally sturdy.

Zhou Shu looked around curiously and heard Yin Chengshan introduce Zhou Shu to his team members.

“This is the You Marquis, the strongest Forging Master of our Great Xia,” Yin Chengshan said.

“Greetings, Marquis!” Everyone bowed excitedly. Our captain has such good people skills? He even invited this person?

Is he going to customize weapons for us?

It was no wonder these people were so excited. Although they were all ranked martial artists and elites of the Demon Executing Army, Zhou Shu was much more famous than them.

Relying on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, he had jumped from a mere Forging Apprentice to the You Marquis. He was practically the idol of all strivers.

Especially after the news of him being promoted to a Forging Master spread, countless ranked martial artists wanted to curry favor with him.

Establishing a good relationship with a promising Forging Master was like an additional life for a ranked martial artist.

This was especially true for people in the Demon Executing Army, who were constantly on the brink of death. A good weapon was their life!

Zhou Shu’s forging skills had already been proven. Which Demon Executing soldier wouldn’t want Zhou Shu to forge a weapon for them?

A Demon Executing soldier saw the sword hilt exposed behind Yin Chengshan and said enviously, “Captain, you have a new weapon? Did the marquis personally forge it?”

Yin Chengshan revealed a mysterious smile and didn’t reply. “The marquis came this time to see our strength.

“Go get ready. We will begin today’s training!”

Then he turned to Zhou Shu. “Marquis, please move to the viewing platform.”

In a corner of the training ground, there was a tall spectator stand. This was probably where the Demon Executing Army’s upper echelons usually stayed when they came for inspection.

Zhou Shu nodded. He came to see how the Demon Executing Army killed demonic beasts. Of course, the most important thing was to give the Great Destroyer Sword more opportunities to complete kills. As for making a move himself, Zhou Shu was not interested.

He regretted not bringing some melon seeds with him…

Yin Chengshan and the rest had already started to prepare for battle.

They were all wearing the special armor of the Demon Executing Army, and all of them were full of fighting spirit.

Zhou Shu observed carefully. Yin Chengshan’s team had thirteen people, and there were only seven of them using ranked weapons. The remaining six were actually using standard weapons! He frowned slightly. It seemed that the value of ranked weapons was higher than what he had previously understood. Great Xia’s power in forging weapons was already very limited. If not everyone in the Demon Executing Army could be guaranteed a ranked weapon, what about the other countries that were inferior to Great Xia?

Ranked martial artists possess extraordinary statuses. Compared to ordinary people, they are already extraordinary individuals. Yet they are still unable to obtain a single ranked weapon. It appears that ranked weapons are even more precious than I imagined, Zhou Shu thought.

He saw that two of the six poor fellows who didn’t have any ranked weapons were using the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber! One of them was using the Horse Slaying Saber, while the other three were using the Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers!

Good heavens, they were all actually using the standard weapons Zhou Shu developed!

No wonder they were so excited when they saw Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu carefully observed them. The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sabers, Horse Slaying Sabers, and Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers that they were using were not personally forged by Zhou Shu.

Thus, even if they succeeded in completing enemies, Zhou Shu wouldn’t benefit from it.

When Zhou Shu thought of this, he was no longer interested in observing them. Instead, he focused his gaze on Yin Chengshan.

This person was his designated worker. “Release!”

Yin Chengshan arched his body slightly. His eyes were like lightning as he stared in a certain direction. He already had the Great Destroyer Sword in his hand.

In a corner of the training ground, there was an ear-piercing creaking sound. A metal door rose, and a roar resounded.

Boom!

Zhou Shu felt the ground shake. Then he saw a tall and sturdy black figure rush out from the iron gate and pounce toward Yin Chengshan and the others.

The black shadow was like a small mountain, but it was extremely fast. Almost as soon as it left the iron gate, it appeared in front of Yin Chengshan.

Yin Chengshan roared and struck out with the Great Destroyer Sword like lightning.

The door-like blade collided with a sharp claw, and sparks flew.

Yin Chengshan squatted down and dug his feed into the ground, creating a deep ditch. He held on!

He raised the Great Destroyer Sword and blocked the demon’s attack!

This scene made Yin Chengshan’s teammates slightly stunned.

But their reactions were very fast. They quickly adjusted their formation and launched attacks at the mountain-like shadow.

Only now did Zhou Shu clearly see what that mountain-like black shadow was.

It was a black bear that was almost as tall as three people. Its fur was black and shiny, and its paws were the size of an adult’s head. As it waved its paws, the sound of wind could be heard.

Zhou Shu saw with his own eyes that a martial artist of the eighth or ninth rank was sent flying far away by its palm.

Even Yin Chengshan, without the Great Destroyer Sword, wouldn’t be able to block a single attack from it.

This bear is indeed stronger than those Asian black bears in my previous life.

But those Asian black bears in his previous life wouldn’t be able to grow this big.

Furthermore, Zhou Shu could clearly see that the black bear’s palm was emitting an almost undetectable light, causing the power of its every strike to multiply.

In the face of such a strong opponent, Yin Chengshan and the others’ tactic was to exhaust its stamina before attacking.

But this time, Yin Chengshan, who had the Great Destroyer Sword in his hand, was much more confident. He actually chose to attack head-on!

This black bear’s strength was only equivalent to a sixty-rank martial artist. It was a seventh-rank demonic beast with tough skin and thick flesh. It could indeed fight against a sixth-rank martial artist.

But so what?

The Great Destroyer Sword in his hand had even slain a first-rank martial artist!

Yin Chengshan roared and slashed upward with the Great Destroyer Sword.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes when he saw this. Even though the Great Destroyer Sword is a heavy sword, it isn’t meant to be used like its a door. Don’t you have any techniques?

Boom!

The black bear slammed its palm on the Great Destroyer Sword and sent Yin Chengshan flying.

Yin Chengshan somersaulted in the air and charged forward again without giving up.

His bold fighting style made his teammates’ hearts race.

Everyone howled and charged toward the beast.

Zhou Shu shook his head.

He could guess that these people were trying to show off in front of him.

But this strategy was too reckless.

He had forgotten that if he was the one fighting the demonic beast, he would be even more reckless than them.

Although the black bear had thick skin and immense strength, it was still a seventh-rank demonic beast.

Under the attacks of Yin Chengshan, a sixth-rank martial artist, and his twelve subordinates, it only lasted for five minutes before it was defeated.

“Die!” Yin Chengshan let out a loud shout and flew thirty feet in the air. He held the Great Destroyer Sword and slashed down.

The black bear’s massive head flew high into the air as a pillar of blood shot into the sky.

Yin Chengshan landed on the ground and raised the Great Destroyer Sword high. He was in high spirits and had a look on his face that said, “I won”.

Whoosh,

The rest of the team members gasped and looked at Yin Chengshan in amazement.

“Captain, your sword is too powerful! This must be a black-grade weapon, right?” one of the team members said enviously.

Yin Chengshan shook his head. “It’s not black grade.”

Then he said proudly, “But it’s not bad compared to ordinary black-grade weapons. “Do you know the name of this sword?”

Yin Chengshan was immensely proud of himself. This Great Destroyer Sword was truly a sharp weapon for slaying demons. He felt that even if his sword technique was inferior to his saber technique, his strength would still be three times stronger when he held this Great Destroyer Sword!

“What’s it called?” The team members were very cooperative.

“This sword is named Great Destroyer!” Yin Chengshan recalled the scene when Zhou Shu told him the name of the sword. He subconsciously imitated Zhou Shu’s tone.

He smacked his lips with some regret in his heart. Why couldn’t I learn the marquis’s calm and composed style?

“Great Destroyer Sword? The number one weapon in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, the Great Destroyer Sword that severed Great Wei’s imperial preceptor’s arm?”

Everyone was shocked.

“That’s right!” Yin Chengshan couldn’t help feeling proud.

“Captain, you obtained the Great Destroyer Sword?”

All the team members were envious. Ordinary yellow-grade weapons were enough to make them envious, but this was the Great Destroyer Sword.

The number one sword in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual!

If they could obtain it, they would be willing to live ten years less!

“No,” Yin Chengshan said. “The marquis lent this Great Destroyer Sword to me.

“With this sword, we must shine brightly in the military parade this time. At that time, all of us will be able to own a ranked weapon!

“Brothers, this is the marquis’s gift to us. Let’s thank him!”

“Thank you, Marquis!”

Yin Chengshan took the lead and bowed toward Zhou Shu on the spectator stand. The rest of the people also bowed toward the spectator stand.

“Thank you, Marquis!”

Zhou Shu stood up and nodded slightly. He had a carefree expression on his face. It was a demeanor that Yin Chengshan was extremely envious of but could not learn.

Yin Chengshan didn’t know that Zhou Shu’s expression was calm, but his heart was already blooming with joy. In front of him, the Legendary Armament Canon had already begun to flip its pages.
