Chapter 218 Shen Yue’s Plan, Great Qin’s Elite Soldiers (2)
There was no way to compare previous works.
The top ten of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual were almost all weapons forged by Zhou Shu.
He didn’t have any weapons on the Black-grade Armament Manual, but Great Xia’s diplomatic mission had two High-level Forging Masters, and they had black-grade weapons ranked on Black-grade Armament Manual. With the two combined, the chances of Great Xia winning were extremely high. Therefore, Shen Yue chose a very direct method-determining the outcome on the spot!
“Okay.” Zhou Shu nodded.
“Your Majesty, before I came here, I was forging a weapon. Now, I only need to fix the final star. To avoid wasting your time, I will use this weapon to compete. Your Majesty, please give me permission to do so.” Shen Yue cupped his hands.
“Permission granted,” the Qin emperor said calmly.
Even if Shen Yue didn’t make the weapon, if he could pinpoint the star position, the weapon could still be considered his work.
Therefore, his actions were not against the rules.
In fact, it was often more difficult to fix stars for others’ weapons.
Zhou Shu had no objections to Shen Yue’s method. Actually, he had also planned on doing so.
Otherwise, it would take at least half a month to forge a weapon from scratch. Even if he could wait, others wouldn’t.
With a wave of his hand, someone had already moved the furnace onto the hall.
“Who’s first?” Xu Shi looked at everyone.
“I’ll go first!” Shen Yue glanced disdainfully at Zhou Shu and strode forward.
Under everyone’s gaze, Shen Yue took out something wrapped in silk from his chest.
He opened the silk and revealed a mirror inside.
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes as a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
Everyone was stunned.
The weapon Shen Yue wanted to complete the star fixing for was a mirror?
They had never heard of a mirror being a weapon.
But then again, it wasn’t impossible to use the mirror as a weapon.
While others were wondering if the mirror was a weapon, Zhou Shu was thinking about the divine artifact he had seen in You Prefecture!
At that time, the You and Bing prefectures had become a land of death because of a divine artifact called the Mirror of Retribution!
The exterior of the Mirror of Retribution looked exactly like an ordinary mirror!
Back then, Great Wei had returned the two prefectures to Great Xia. The reason they were willing to return the two prefectures to Great Xia was because of the Mirror of Retribution.
Now, Shen Yue actually took out a mirror.
Is this a coincidence?
There must be something fishy going on!
On the side of the Great Xia’s diplomatic mission, everyone’s expression became somewhat grave. It was unheard of for a mirror to be used as a weapon.
Since Shen Yue dared to take out a mirror on this occasion, it meant that he was very confident in this mirror.
Such situations were often difficult to deal with!
On Great Qin’s side, a wisp of surprise flashed on the Qin emperor’s face as well. Xu Shi’s eyes were full of contemplation. He looked at the mirror in Shen Yue’s hand, pondering Shen Yue held the mirror in his hand as he swept his gaze across the crowd with a cold smile.
The next moment, he threw the mirror into his furnace. Then his spiritual essence surged out, and the seed of True Fire of the furnace was ignited. Raging flames engulfed the mirror.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly when he saw Shen Yue begin to forge.
He turned around and looked at Chen Ji.
Chen Ji understood Zhou Shu, and he revealed a grave expression. As everyone’s attention was on Shen Yue, he quietly left the hall, heading toward the post house.
“Grand Minister, I have a bad feeling. If anything happens later, don’t care about anything else. Let’s rush out and meet up with the guards at the post house!” Zhou Shu quietly wrote on Yin Wuyou’s palm.
Originally, Yin Wuyou was startled when Zhou Shu suddenly pulled her hand.
Just as she was feeling shy, she felt Zhou Shu writing on her palm.
She felt a little puzzled. Bad feeling?
Is it dangerous?
But I don’t notice anything.
She was a second-rank martial artist, while Zhou Shu was only a sixth-rank martial artist. There was no reason he could sense something she didn’t.
Yin Wuyou looked up and subconsciously looked around. “Trust me!” Zhou Shu wrote in Yin Wuyou’s palm again.
Although Yin Wuyou still didn’t sense the danger, she still nodded solemnly.
After instructing Yin Wuyou, Zhou Shu was about to repeat the same action to instruct Lu Wenshuang. Just as he reached out his hand, he found nothing.
Lu Wenshuang crossed her arms and looked at him coldly.
Zhou Shu lost interest. I wanted to remind you that we’re in danger, not take advantage of you!
Is touching your hand taking advantage of you?
Zhou Shu didn’t know why he felt this way too.
Perhaps it was because of the mirror in Shen Yue’s hand?
Even though he didn’t know why he felt this way, Zhou Shu trusted his intuition.
After cultivating the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, Zhou Shu condensed his spirit and even condensed his divine sense.
His strong spirit gave him a prophetic intuition about danger.
His intuition had never been wrong!
A few people noticed Zhou Shu’s actions, but they all thought that Zhou Shu was a playboy and didn’t think much about it.
Shen Yue’s forging speed was extremely fast, as if he already knew exactly where the position of the stars should be.
It had to be said that Shen Yue had accumulated his experience as a Forging Apprentice for many years. After he became a Forging Master, his forging skills were not inferior to many senior Forging Masters.
He kept fixing stars on the mirror, and his every move was extremely precise.
After every star position was pointed out, a ray of light flashed past the mirror.
As more and more stars appeared, the light on the mirror became more and more intense.
A ripple spread out from the mirror.
Zhou Shu had been carefully observing his surroundings. He noticed that as the ripples on the mirror became stronger, the expression of the Qin emperor seemed to change.
Just as Zhou Shu was puzzled, Shen Yue suddenly shouted.
His face was ferocious, and he seemed to have used all his strength. His spiritual essence wrapped around a drop of Heaven Refining Stone solution as it landed on the mirror.
Buzz
On the surface of the mirror, numerous star paths flashed and disappeared. Afterward, a thick white light pillar shot into the sky.
Puu
Shen Yue suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood landed on the mirror flying out from the furnace.
The mirror was like a sponge, instantly absorbing Shen Yue’s blood.
Then the mirror shook violently.
Crack!
Before the crowd could react, the sound of an eggshell shattering came from the mirror.
Then the mirror shattered into countless pieces.
Failed?
After creating such a huge commotion, the forging failed?
Everyone was stunned. It sounded complicated, but everything happened in the blink of an eye.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yue’s face.
Right at this moment, the crowd discovered that the mirror had shattered, but the pillar of light that the mirror emitted didn’t disappear.
The pillar of light that soared into the sky was already as thick as an adult’s waist. The upper end of the pillar of light pierced into the clouds.
“Great Wei!” the Qin emperor suddenly shouted. He stood up and took a step forward, directly breaking through the roof of the hall. He had already reached the clouds.
The black dragon robe fluttered in the air like a black dragon.
Boom!
The Qin emperor unleashed a punch that caused the pillar of light to shatter.
At the same time, a black hole seemed to appear above the pillar of light, and a soul-stirring roar came from within.
Countless people covered their ears in pain.
“Go!” Zhou Shu reacted quickly and shouted.
Then he pulled Shi Songtao and ran out of the Qin palace.
At this moment, the Qin emperor’s voice resounded throughout Great Qin.
“Great Qin elite soldiers, prepare for battle!”
“Here!” A deafening sound echoed in Great Qin’s capital as figures soared into the sky and turned into a black torrent.
A huge beast claw suddenly emerged from the black hole and slammed toward the Qin emperor and the black torrent.
“Courting death!”
The Qin emperor roared as the black dragon and the beast claws collided. The sound of the collision was deafening. The entire Great Qin capital seemed to have fallen into the doomsday as countless forces poured down, causing the walls and buildings to collapse.
