âWhere is the grand minister now?â Zhou Shu asked with a dark expression.
âI donât know. I ran all day in the direction of the sunsetâ¦â Haitang was anxious to get up. But halfway up, she exhausted her strength and fell back down.
Zhou Shuâs heart sank. Itâs been an entire day?
âDeputy Envoy Lu, please send her to the camp. I will go and save her!â Zhou Shu said coldly.
Haitang had headed toward the sunset, which meant she came from the east!
Before he could finish, a gust of wind blew past him.
Lu Wenshuang was already several hundred feet away, heading east!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYour cultivation is insufficient. Itâs useless even if you go.â Lu Wenshuangâs voice came from afar.
The next moment, she disappeared.
Zhou Shu was stunned. What happened to protecting me? Are you leaving just like that?
Whatâs going on?
He turned back to look at Haitang and subconsciously asked, âLu Wenshuang knows the grand minister?â
âMiss Lu is Her Highnessâs senior sisterâ¦â Haitang said weakly.
âSenior sister?â Zhou Shu was truly astonished. Lu Wenshuang and Yin Wuyou had such a relationship? He had never heard of it before.
But now was not the time to ask about this.
âHaitang, take a rest first.â Zhou Shu arrived at Haitangâs side and then struck out like lightning, striking the back of Haitangâs head.
The
Before Haitang could react, she fainted again.
Zhou Shu picked up Haitang and looked around. The next moment, he shot into the sky.
A black shadow flashed across the forest. It was so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
If Lu Wenshuang could see this, she would definitely be able to tell that Zhou Shuâs current speed was more than ten times faster than when he was on the way to slay the demonic beast!
Zhou Shu continued to rush out of the mountain forest. Only when he was about to reach Hangu Pass did he slow down and run back to the Great Xia camp at a speed matching a seventh-rank martial artistâs.
âGeneral Chen, Iâll leave her with you!â As soon as he entered the camp, Zhou Shu bumped into Chen Ji, who was patrolling. He handed Haitang over to Chen Ji. âTake care of her. Wait for me to come back!â
A young girl was thrown into Chen Jiâs arms, and he was at a loss.
Before he could react, Zhou Shu had already run out of the camp and disappeared. âThisâ¦â Chen Ji looked at the unconscious Haitang. He carefully carried Haitang into the camp and placed her on a board.
Only then did he wipe away his cold sweat. Haitang was very light, but this distance of dozens of steps felt like a huge battle to Chen Ji. His entire body was drenched in sweat.
âThis is Miss Haitang?â At this time, Deputy Envoy Shi Songtao was also alarmed. After rushing over, he immediately recognized Haitang lying there. âWhatâs wrong with her? Why is she here?â Shi Songtao asked anxiously.
âI donât know. The marquis just sent her back -â Chen Ji said.
âWhere is the marquis?â
âHeâs gone again.â
Shi Songtao felt that he wasnât a deputy envoy at all but a steward!
He was the one who did the work. But as the deputy envoy, he didnât know anything else! Shi Songtao cursed silently. But soon, he shouted loudly. âDoctor, where is the doctor?â
There was a doctor in the diplomatic mission.
Zhou Shu was naturally unaware of Shi Songtaoâs resentment.
He was currently shuttling through the forest at full speed!
Ever since he learned the Riding on Cloud and Wind Technique, this was the first time he was using his full strength. He was shuttling through the top of the forest. Every step he took was tens of meters long. It was as if he was riding the clouds. It was not inferior to the movement technique of an ordinary grandmaster. In fact, it was even superior.
Not long after, he saw Lu Wenshuang.
In a hurry, Zhou Shu was unable to change his clothes. He could only take off his outerwear and wear it inside out. Then he tore off a piece of undergarment and covered his face.
As for whether he could conceal his identity, it was up to fate. Zhou Shu didnât even consider if he would expose his strength. Even if he did, he had to save the grand minister!
This f*cking Xiao Shunzhi came back to life.
Then, Iâll kill you again!
If anything happens to the grand minister, I will make sure that all of Great Wei is buried with her!
The fury in Zhou Shuâs heart could burn down the entire forest.
When he thought of the Zhou character that Yin Wuyou had written with her blood in You Prefecture, he felt as if his heart had been squeezed tightly. An entire day had already passed. Nothing must happen to Yin Wuyou!
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and increased his speed by thirty percent.
Lu Wenshuang was hurrying on her way when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past her. Following this, a figure appeared in her field of vision before disappearing at an extremely high speed.
Lu Wenshuang was so shocked that she almost fell from the sky.
Who just passed by?
So fast!
This speed isnât below that of a first-rank expert.
She was full of doubts. Why would this expert pass by in the middle of the night in the desolate mountains?
Did Zhou Shu get reinforcements from the camp? Lu Wenshuang only thought about it for a moment before continuing on her way. Regardless of whether Zhou Shu got reinforcements or not, she had to hurry over. No matter what the outcome was, she had to personally see it!
In a mountain forest several hundred miles away from them, a radius of several dozen miles had almost been flattened.
Two figures stood several tens of meters apart.
Yin Wuyouâs face was pale, and her body was on the verge of collapse. But her gaze was still incomparably firm. âXiao Shunzhi, you have indeed deteriorated!â
The imperial preceptor of Great Wei, Xiao Shunzhi, looked much better than Yin Wuyou, but his expression was very ugly. He had spent so much effort dealing with an up-and-coming junior, yet he still couldnât take her down. This made him feel ashamed and angry.
âEven if Iâve deteriorated, dealing with you wonât be a problem,â Xiao Shunzhi said coldly. âI have already destroyed your weapon. Letâs see how long you can resist!â
Yin Wuyouâs original sword was merely an earth-grade weapon. Originally, her cultivation level was at the third rank of the Martial Dao, and an earth-grade weapon was more than sufficient. After advancing to the second rank, she had yet to change to a heaven-grade weapon. Now, this earth-grade weapon had been forcibly severed by Xiao Shunzhiâs Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber.
Xiao Shunzhi could tell that not only was Yin Wuyouâs weapon broken, but she was also an arrow at the end of its flight.
Speaking of which, if not for her nimble movements, he would have taken her down long ago. How could it have dragged out until now!
âWho said that I only have one weapon?â Yin Wuyou smiled sweetly, her pale face like a blooming flower, lighting up the night sky.
She threw the broken sword away and reached for her waist.
Xiao Shunzhi frowned. Rousing gods and devils!
From his point of view, Yin Wuyou was simply posturing, and there was nothing in her hand! âSince youâre stubborn, donât blame me for being ruthless.â Xiao Shunzhi snorted coldly. âAs long as youâre still alive, itâs enough!â
He took a step forward, and the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber slashed toward Yin Wuyou with a violent aura.
After fighting for an entire day, Xiao Shunzhiâs spiritual essence was actually still not exhausted!
Even though he was no longer a first-rank martial artist, his cultivation was still much deeper than Yin Wuyou, who was also a second-rank martial artist.
His attack wasnât to kill Yin Wuyou but to sever the tendons in her hands and feet, rendering her powerless. Yin Wuyouâs figure was like a graceful swan, dodging the blade light by a hairâs breadth. Then as if her strength was insufficient, she staggered, and a blade light had already arrived in front of her.
In the nick of time, her waist bent backward, almost to 90 degrees, narrowly avoiding the attack. At the same time, she thrust her right hand forward.
Xiao Shunzhi snorted coldly. He didnât take Yin Wuyouâs actions seriously. Thereâs nothing in her hands, yet sheâs trying to scare me?
He was about to give chase when he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
His movements came to a sudden stop. His chest felt cold, and a trace of blood appeared.
Xiao Shun was greatly alarmed, and his feet suddenly stomped on the ground. He couldnât be bothered to chase after Yin Wuyou, and his figure retreated explosively by over one hundred feet.
