Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 111

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Imperial preceptor? Zhou Shu was slightly puzzled. Great Xia didn’t have an imperial preceptor!

Although he was somewhat puzzled, he didn’t stop.

Or rather, he performed beyond his usual standard. Even he himself could no longer control the saber after he unleashed it.

“Spare his life!” A grand voice came from the post house ahead.

Zhou Shu felt a slight pain in his eardrums, and his mind went blank.

With a cold snort, he visualized the Five Mountains’ True Form in his consciousness. The suppressive consciousness of the five towering mountains instantly restored his clarity.

At this moment, the earth-shattering saber beam had already descended.

When the second black-robed man saw that there was no way to avoid this attack, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He threw the first black-robed man on his back up, and then he turned into black smoke and headed toward the post house.

Pfft!

With a light sound, the first black-robed man, whose joints had been dislocated by Zhou Shu, was slashed in half before he could even make a sound.

Blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground. But the saber beam had yet to dissipate as it continued to slash toward the fleeing second black-robed man.

The black-robed man used some kind of supreme art to transform into black smoke. There was form, but it was intangible. But when the saber beam landed, the black smoke let out a tragic scream.

At this moment, a golden light flew out from the post house and collided with the saber beam.

Crack!

With a soft sound, the saber beam shattered like glass before dissipating into the air.

Zhou Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He held the heaven-grade long saber in front of him and looked straight ahead.

The black smoke turned back into the black-robed figure. He fell to the ground in pain and rolled around.

Although Zhou Shu’s saber beam had not killed him, the saber intent had still injured him.

If not for the golden light saving him, he would have died just like the first black-robed man.

“Your Excellency, you are too ruthless.” A voice sounded. The golden light that had shattered Zhou Shu’s saber beam transformed into a slightly illusory body. The voice came from this body.

“I asked you to show mercy. Why did you still do it?”

Zhou Shu sized up the golden figure. It was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties or fifties. He had short hair, and his facial features were clearly defined. He seemed extremely determined.

Even though it was a little illusionary, it was obvious that this person had been in a high position for a long time, and his aura was extremely intimidating.

Zhou Shu sneered. “Should I show mercy just because you asked me?

“Why should I listen to you?”

The short-haired middle-aged man was slightly stunned, as if he wasn’t used to Zhou Shu’s way of speaking. After a while, he said, “May I know which expert of Great Xia you are? Although this is Great Xia, your behavior is a little too overbearing.

“Will our people die just by entering your city to visit the night market?”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and a powerful aura began to gather. It was as if the sky was pressing down on Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu’s pupils shrank. Impressive!

He didn’t know what technique this guy was using. This had already surpassed ordinary martial arts.

Zhou Shu had come into contact with many martial artists before. He had always thought that the Martial Dao of this world was similar to the martial arts in wuxia novels. Even if they were stronger, there was a limit.

Just like his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique, he could compete with Martial Dao experts.

Only now did he realize that those people he had fought with previously were too weak.

The person before him was a true expert!

How could one transform into golden light with just ordinary martial arts?

Although he felt a bit emotional, Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid.

He raised the heaven-grade saber in his hand. He condensed his saber intent, but he didn’t make a move.

“So what if I’m domineering?”

This was the capital of Great Xia, Chang’an!

The commotion just now must have alerted the experts in the capital. Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid of the opponent attacking.

Even if he couldn’t defeat his opponent, he could still hold on for a while.

He didn’t believe that the other party would be able to attack without any scruples in the suburbs of Chang’an!

“Is this how Great Xia treats their guests?” the middle-aged man asked with a cold expression. “Since that’s the case, I’ll take you down and ask the emperor of Great Xia if this is how you treat my Great Wei’s diplomatic mission?”

Great Wei’s diplomatic mission? Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows and seemed to understand something.

The Divine Constable Bureau’s excuse to capture Zhu Chuanfeng was actually true?

Zhu Chuanfeng really colluded with Great Wei?

But then again, Zhu Chuanfeng was a Grand Craftsman. If he really joined Great Wei, Great Wei would definitely welcome him. After all, Great Wei doesn’t know that Zhu Chuanfeng was a fake Grand Craftsman!

No wonder the black-robed man wanted to investigate the spy’s courtyard. That was where Zhu Chuanfeng’s accomplice lived. Do they know what weapons Zhu Chuanfeng left behind?

Just as Zhou Shu thought of this, he saw the middle-aged man reach out toward him.

As he moved, a three-meter-long golden palm suddenly appeared in the sky.

The golden palm seemed to be corporeal, and the palm lines were clearly visible. With a torrential aura, it grabbed toward Zhou Shu.

“That’s it!” Now that things had come to this, Zhou Shu’s boldness erupted.

This was the first time he was facing a top expert of this world.

Let’s see what level the top experts of this world are at!

With a loud shout, Zhou Shu’s true qi surged, and his body began to emit a faint golden light.

This golden light was somewhat similar to the golden light of the middle-aged man, but it seemed to be of a higher grade.

At the same time, all the cells in Zhou Shu’s body seemed to come alive. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, the strength of dragons and elephants!

The Heavenly Saber Art was a saber art honed through countless bloody battles. When executing it, one had to have an indomitable will to unleash the true intent of the saber art.

Although Zhou Shu completely grasped the Heavenly Saber Intent, he had never faced such an expert before.

Even when he faced the black-robed man yesterday, he had the Golden Bell Shield Technique protecting him, so he wasn’t afraid of the black-robed man.

Now, Zhou Shu had the feeling that this middle-aged man condensed from golden light might be able to break his Golden Bell Shield Technique!

There was no way to test this. If it was true, he would die.

An expert’s intuition was most likely true.

In the face of danger, Zhou Shu fully unleashed his Heavenly Saber Intent for the first time.

With a loud shout, Zhou Shu slashed out with his saber.

This slash was comparable to the one that killed the black-robed man.

The saber beam was sharp and directly slashed onto the golden palm.

Following a deafening sound, the saber beam shattered, while the giant palm was knocked back a few meters, leaving a scar on the palm!

Zhou Shu took half a step back, his expression grave. His saber was sent flying by the tremendous force. He gripped the hilt of his saber tightly and swung it out in a circle.

The sky was full of saber light, and Zhou Shu’s figure couldn’t be seen clearly. The saber light continued to fall on the golden palm, and more and more wounds appeared on the palm. Finally, with a loud bang, the golden palm transformed into specks of golden light and dissipated into the air.

A hint of admiration flashed through the eyes of the middle-aged man. He nodded slightly and said, “You have indeed earned the right to be domineering with such a saber technique. But it’s still not enough.”

He took another step forward, and as his foot landed, the earth shook.

He pushed his palms forward, and two golden palms appeared in the air, pressing down on Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu’s expression changed slightly. He already had to make an effort to destroy one giant palm, and he might not be able to destroy two.

He was already clear that with his current cultivation, he was far from being the imperial preceptor’s match!

What is his cultivation level?

Second rank?

Or first rank?

Are the first two ranks that much stronger than the third rank?

A thought flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind. Without thinking too much, he shouted, “You think you’re the only one who can bully others with numbers?”

Clang!

Two more heaven-grade sabers flew out from Zhou Shu’s back.

A strange look flashed across the middle-aged man’s eyes. Since when are heaven-grade weapons so easily obtainable?

Even with his status, he didn’t dare to casually bring three heaven-grade weapons with him.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a few more weapons behind this person. Could they all be heaven-grade weapons?

Who is he? A prince of Great Xia?

But he had never heard of any prince of Great Xia having such a cultivation level.

A few thoughts flashed through the middle-aged man’s mind when he heard Zhou Shu shout.

“Three Sabers Stream!”

His accent was strange, and the middle-aged man almost didn’t understand.

The three heaven-grade sabers transformed into three saber projections that slashed at the two golden palms.

The middle-aged man sighed in admiration as he sensed the soaring saber intent.

Such a saber technique could be called invincible in the same realm.

It was only because the other party’s cultivation was inferior to his. Otherwise, he might not have the upper hand against this saber technique!

Boom!

When the giant palm and the saber light collided, it was as if an explosion had occurred. An intense cyclone spread out in all directions. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere as if a natural disaster had occurred.

Although the middle-aged man didn’t have a physical body, he still subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Shu had already disappeared.

He raised his head and looked again. Zhou Shu was already several hundred meters away, and he was sprinting at an extremely high speed, leaving behind a cloud of dust like a dragon.

The middle-aged man was a little stunned. Just a moment ago, he was still fighting with all his might, and now he was running away?

Who is this person?

Ding Dang!

At this moment, the three heaven-grade sabers fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground.

They were the ones who had transformed their saber intent into saber projections to stop the giant golden palms.

He doesn’t even want the heaven-grade sabers? The middle-aged man was even more puzzled.

He raised his hand and was about to take the three heaven-grade sabers for himself.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

Boom!

The lightning enveloped the three heaven-grade sabers.

The middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately let out a cold snort. The golden light on his body surged, and he reached out to grab the lightning.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a muffled sound, the lightning and golden light dissipated almost at the same time. At the same time, a figure flew out from the post house and reached out to catch a heaven-grade saber.

The figure was clearly the same person as the golden figure from before.

The Great Wei imperial preceptor gritted his teeth and shouted out a name, “Yin Changhao!”

At the spot where Zhou Shu had just stood, a purple-robed figure stood there. This person looked to be in his thirties. He had sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, but his expression was somewhat arrogant and domineering.

At this moment, he was holding two heaven-grade sabers in his hands. On the sabers, there was still lightning lingering.

“Why are you shouting so loudly? I’m not deaf,” Yin Changhao said.

The Great Wei imperial preceptor suppressed his anger and said coldly, “Is this how your Great Xia treats their guests?”

“To our guests, our Great Xia has good wine. But to our enemies, the supreme weapons of Grand Xia are the best in the world. We are not boasting,” Yin Changhao said nonchalantly.

“Hmph!” The Great Wei imperial preceptor snorted coldly. “War between countries does not implicate the envoys. We are the official diplomatic mission team. My man went into the city to take a look but was killed by someone. You have to give us an explanation for this!”

The Great Wei imperial preceptor’s body flickered with golden light as his aura continued to rise, becoming even more terrifying than before.

Yin Changhao wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Lightning coiled around his body, and his two heaven-grade sabers danced in the air.

“With his outfit, you’re saying that he went for a stroll in the city? Would you believe that?” Yin Changhao said disdainfully. “He probably went to a secret place of Great Xia.

“So be it if he’s killed. What explanation do you want?

“Alright, everyone knows what’s going on. I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. Give me the saber. I’m going back to sleep. How dare you disturb my sleep in the middle of the night. You people from Great Wei are really inhumane.”

Yin Changhao yawned.

“You want to get away with it?” The Great Wei imperial preceptor was furious. “I want to see the Great Xia emperor!”

“Stop shouting.” Yin Changhao rolled his eyes. “What can you do if you see my brother? You want an explanation, right? Fine. If you have the ability, go and catch the murderer. Did you take a clear look at the murderer?”

“He’s an expert of Great Xia…” The Great Wei’s imperial preceptor was furious.

“If you say so, then so be it. Who knows if this is your trick of self-injury? Why don’t I know that Great Xia has such a saber expert? That saber intent just now should be at the level of a second-rank martial artist, right? Why don’t you look for him yourself? I still have to thank you for helping Great Xia find an expert,” Yin Changhao said.

The Great Wei imperial preceptor narrowed his eyes. He wasn’t a fool. Great Xia and Great Wei had been fighting for many years. They knew each other’s experts very well. They might be able to hide the lower-ranked ones, but it was too difficult to hide the first-rank and second-rank ones.

After all, people didn’t advance into experts overnight. It was almost impossible for them not to leave any traces behind.

From what the Great Wei imperial preceptor knew, there was indeed no expert in Great Xia that matched the characteristics of the person earlier.

Furthermore, this person was masked in the capital of Great Xia. Was he really not from Great Xia?

“I will definitely investigate this matter. The people of Great Wei cannot die in vain!” The Great Wei imperial preceptor snorted and walked into the post house.

“Hey, don’t be so shameless. Give me the saber!” Yin Changhao shouted.

“This was left behind by the murderer. The murderer might not be someone from Great Xia, so this saber naturally doesn’t belong to Great Xia.”

The Great Wei imperial preceptor’s voice came from afar and Yin Changhao’s expression froze.

This old fellow is really shameless!

Anyway, I’ve snatched two of them. He only has one.. I’ve won, Yin Changhao thought happily and turned into a bolt of lightning, disappearing in the direction of the capital.
