Sure enough, in two sentences, Yao Buqi said what he wanted him to say.

Yao Qing’s eyes turned crimson. With a clang, he grabbed a long saber from somewhere.

He stared at Yao Buqi, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Am I wrong? Who in our demon race knows how to use weapons? Only a human demon like you knows how to use weapons!” Yao Buqi shouted. “We have claws and teeth. We don’t need weapons like humans!”

“Are you courting death?!” Yao Qing shouted, and the light in his eyes shot out more than a foot.

He took a step forward and slashed at Yao Buqi.

The dazzling saber beam crossed dozens of feet and landed on Yao Buqi’s head.

With his spiritual essence sealed, there was no way for him to dodge.

Panic flashed in his eyes. Yao Qing really wanted to kill him!

Boom!

There was an explosion, and Yao Buqi suddenly disappeared.

The saber beam landed heavily on the ground, creating a deep crack.

Zhou Shu had pulled Yao Buqi aside at the last moment.

“Yao Qing, so what if you’re a human-demon hybrid. What’s the big deal?” Zhou Shu said with a faint smile. “If the demons can’t accept you, you can come to us. We definitely won’t discriminate against you.

“You use a saber, but to be honest, your saber technique is too lousy. It’s completely unsightly. Come to us, and I’ll teach you a supreme saber technique.”

Just now, it was Yao Qing recruiting Zhou Shu. Now, it was Zhou Shu recruiting Yao Qing.

Except one was a threat, and the other was a lure.

“Don’t even think about shaking my resolve, human,” Yao Qing said coldly.

He glanced at Yao Buqi. “Yao Buqi, you leaked the secrets of our demon race at will. According to the rules of the Demon Realm, you deserve to die.

“Sinner, I don’t need to save you anymore. You can die with this human.”

Yao Qing roared, and the saber in his hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. A thousand-foot-long saber beam slashed at Zhou Shu.

Surprise flashed across Zhou Shu’s eyes. The saber in Yao Qing’s hand was actually a heaven-grade weapon!

Heaven-grade weapons could only be forged by human Grand Craftsmen.

And for heaven-grade weapons whose owners died in battle, someone would usually take them away instead of leaving them to demons.

Where did Yao Qing’s heaven-grade weapon come from?

Demons didn’t use weapons. They didn’t have forgers!

Zhou Shu didn’t hesitate at all.

His saber flashed from his waist and slashed at an empty space in the air.

Seeing Zhou Shu’s actions, Yao Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. What does this human mean by slashing in the air?

Before this thought could flash through his mind, Zhou Shu’s saber was already above his saber beam.

It felt as if Zhou Shu had placed the saber there, and the saber light he had slashed out had collided with Zhou Shu’s saber. Coincidentally, it had collided with the weakest part of the saber beam.

There was a crack as the blade shattered.

Yao Qing took half a step back, his pupils constricting.

When they fought yesterday, he knew that this human’s saber technique was very brilliant. If he hadn’t broken his saber, he wouldn’t have fought him hand-to-hand.

Unexpectedly, his saber technique was even more brilliant than he had imagined. He seemed to know his saber technique like the back of his hand!

Yao Qing refused to believe it. He executed his saber technique and attacked Zhou Shu again.

Ding Ding Dang Dang!

With a few crisp sounds, Zhou Shu slashed left and right. It didn’t seem like he was actually slashing anything.

But each slash interrupted Yao Qing’s attacks.

This made Yao Qing very uncomfortable, and he almost suffered internal injuries.

He took half a step back and stared at Zhou Shu.

Is my saber technique really so unsightly?

Is it true that he can teach me a supreme saber technique?

With his cultivation level, he should be a person of great status in the human race. A person of such status shouldn’t spout nonsense.

Yao Qing’s expression kept changing.

Zhou Shu was in no hurry. He stood there with a calm expression.

When he entered the dream, Zhou Shu knew that Yao Qing had a deep obsession with becoming stronger.

This might be because of his identity as a half-demon or because he had been provoked.

The reason wasn’t that important.

Zhou Shu only needed to know what could shake his will.

“With your abilities, without external help, you can forget about defeating Yao Wudi for the rest of your life.”

Zhou Shu mentioned a name.

Yao Qing’s pupils contracted, and a cold killing intent began to circle his body.

The iron-like black hairs also grew from his pores.

His breathing became heavy and thunderous.

SNAP—

Zhou Shu even heard cracking sounds coming from Yao Qing’s limbs.

He glared at Zhou Shu as if he wanted to eat him alive.

“How did you find out?” Yao Qing said coldly and glanced at Yao Buqi.

Right now, his killing intent toward Yao Buqi was so strong that it was almost uncontrollable.

This bastard actually revealed such a thing to the humans!

How loathsome!

Zhou Shu smiled and didn’t answer Yao Qing’s question. Instead, he said, “If you want to defeat Yao Wudi, you only have this one chance in your life.

“Think carefully about whether you want to take this opportunity or not.”

Zhou Shu sheathed his saber and placed his hands behind his back, looking proud.

Yao Qing’s face alternated between green and purple. He gritted his teeth and roared, “I, Yao Qing, will never be a slave!”

Zhou Shu smiled.

Saying something like this meant he was wavering.

Otherwise, he would have berated him or even attacked him. This would have been a normal reaction.

Now, his words were more like to himself.

“You don’t need to be a slave,” Zhou Shu said indifferently, “You can ask Yao Buqi if he’s a slave now.”

“I’m not!” Yao Buqi roared angrily. How could he be a human’s slave?

If this spread to the Demon Realm, would he still be able to face others in the future?

Zhou Shu was amused. The demons of the Demon Realm are really cute. How are they so cooperative?

“You heard him,” Zhou Shu said. “Yao Buqi is my hostage. He didn’t become a slave, and naturally, I won’t make you a slave either.”

Yao Qing breathed heavily and said coldly, “What do you want?”

“Simple.” Zhou Shu smiled. “There are countless minerals in this continuous mountain. Take your underlings to mine and bring the minerals here.

“Exchanging minerals for a saber technique is fair enough.”

“Hmph, there’s no need to exchange. If I take you down, I can still interrogate you to reveal your saber technique.” Yao Qing snorted coldly, and his aura soared again.

Before he could attack, he suddenly let out a shocking scream. Then he hugged his head and retreated dozens of feet.

As he retreated, he attacked forward frantically, as if afraid that someone was pursuing him.

But Zhou Shu, who was opposite him, had his hands behind his back and had no intention of attacking.

Yao Qing’s eyes were full of horror. He had no idea what was happening.

But the tingling in his brain told him that what had just happened wasn’t a fantasy.

“Yao Qing, you have to be clear about one thing. I’m making a deal with you because you have half the bloodline of the human race. Otherwise, Yao Buqi is your example.” Zhou Shu clasped his hands behind his back calmly.

“If you really think I can’t do anything to you, then you’re wrong.

“It won’t be difficult for me to kill you.”

Zhou Shu’s voice turned cold. “I’m giving you a chance now, but if you want to do this the hard way, I’ll just spend some effort to kill all of you.

“If not for the fact that you’re half human, you and Yao Buqi would be no different to me.

“Don’t doubt my strength. You don’t want to see me prove my strength. Everyone who has seen my true strength is already dead.”
