Zhou Shu added, “One thousand Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers are wearing Dark Cloud Armor sets produced by the Huaxia Pavilion. It can defend against all attacks from martial artists below the fourth rank.”

Zhou Shu thought for a moment. With a flip of his wrist, a Dark Cloud Armor set appeared in his hand. “This is it.”

Everyone had already come into contact with the Cosmic Bangle, so they weren’t surprised by Zhou Shu’s action of taking something out of thin air.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the Dark Cloud Armor in his hand.

Meng Bai reached out and took the Dark Cloud Armor. He sent out a stream of spiritual essence into it.

Clank!

There was a clanging sound.

Meng Bai no longer knew how to react. This Dark Cloud Armor could really defend against an attack from martial artists below the fourth rank.

“King of the South, you said that a thousand soldiers are equipped with this Dark Cloud Armor?” Meng Bai asked solemnly.

“I exaggerated a little.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Less than a thousand. But in a few days, it should be enough.”

Meng Bai: “…”

It seems he didn’t have to be too surprised by anything when it came to the King of the South, Zhou Shu.

Still, it was surprising.

Forging armors was harder than weapons!

How long had it been?

He said that the Huaxia Pavilion had forged a thousand sets of Dark Cloud Armor?

Even the Great Xia’s Forging Division would take a few years to forge a thousand such Dark Cloud Armor sets.

The premise was that they could forge the armor!

“A thousand elite soldiers in Dark Cloud Armor coming to receive us…” Meng Bai pondered. “In that case, there are even fewer problems!

“King of the South, so and so…”

Meng Bai told Zhou Shu their plans and arrangements.

Zhou Shu nodded. “Alright, we’ll take action in three days.

“When the time comes, all you have to do is release these Cloud-Piercing Arrows. General Mi and I will act as planned.”

Zhou Shu took out two Cloud-Piercing Arrows and handed them to Meng Bai.

“A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, thousands of troops come to meet.

“See you later, everyone.”

Zhou Shu laughed and shot into the sky, turning into a beam of light that instantly disappeared.

It was as if the encirclement of the Demon Realm army didn’t exist.

Looking at the disappearing afterimage in the air, the dozen or so first-rank humanoid demonic beasts had gloomy expressions.

“I can’t stand it!” a humanoid demonic beast roared. “I must kill all these humans!”

“Have you forgotten Lord Yao Lian’s orders?” A cold voice sounded. It was another humanoid demonic beast.

Everyone fell silent.

“Surround and not kill. What exactly is Lord Yao Lian trying to do?” a demonic beast muttered.

“Silence!” a humanoid demonic beast growled. “We just have to listen to Lord Yao Lian’s decision.”

“So what do you think we should do now? Which one of you was a match for that human?”

“No matter how strong he is, can he defeat us together?”

“Hmph, he might not be able to defeat us together, but someone has to die under his sword. Will it be you or me?”

The one who spoke was the humanoid demonic beast who had been injured by Zhou Shu’s Hundred Steps Flying Sword.

The demonic beasts glared at each other and almost fought among themselves.

In the end, a humanoid demonic beast said, “If they want to break out, we’ll just let them go.

“Lord Yao Lian’s orders were only to surround but not kill. He didn’t say where to surround the Great Xia army.”

The eyes of the demonic beasts lit up. That’s right. They could surround them anywhere.

If they wanted to break through, they could just let them go. At worst, they could surround them again.

“Shall we retreat first?” a demonic beast asked.

“Retreat.” A humanoid demonic beast nodded.

“Yao Buqi was captured alive by the humans and embarrassed the Demon Realm. Also, Yao Qing and Yao Ji, these two pieces of trash, failed to save him and even got themselves killed!

“Lord Yao Lian asked us to keep the main force of the Great Xia army. Then let’s save Yao Buqi first and destroy that Great Xia camp at the same time.”

“Hmph, mere humans want to fight with our Demon Realm? They’re courting death!”

The humanoid demonic beasts nodded.

There was a tough opponent here. Lord Yao Lian had ordered them not to kill Great Xia’s main force, so it was better to save Yao Buqi first. Not only could they kill some humans to vent their anger, but they could also gain a favor.

In Meng Bai’s military camp, he was drafting a plan to break out with a group of generals.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed in. “Oh no, Great General!”

“What’s wrong? Has the Demon Realm army attacked?” Meng Bai said with a sunken voice.

“No…” the soldier stammered. “The Demon Realm army is retreating!”

“Retreating?” Meng Bai and the others rushed out of the tent.

In the surrounding mountains and forests, countless demonic beasts were indeed retreating in batches.

Everyone looked at each other.

What happened?

You retreated as soon as we drew up our plan?

Wasn’t that a waste of our time then?

“Do you think they were frightened by His Highness?” Luo Ling said softly.

A wry smile spread across their faces.

“Impossible.” Meng Bai shook his head. “Although His Highness is strong, the Demon Realm army won’t be scared off so easily.

“Something must have happened that we don’t know .”

“So, what do we do now?” one of the generals asked. “Should we proceed as planned?”

They all looked at him as if he was an idiot. As planned?

The Demon Realm army besieging them had already retreated. There was no encirclement to break out of.

“His Highness didn’t say anything just now about the location of the camp he built…” Luo Ling said.

“Let’s wait.” Meng Bai pondered. “His Highness went back to inform General Mi. He’ll be back in three days.

“At that time, we’ll just return to the camp with His Highness.

“The retreat of the Demon Realm army is strange. Pass down the order. Everyone, be vigilant. Don’t let down your guard!”

…

On the other side, Zhou Shu used his divine ability Unstoppable For a Thousand Miles to return to the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch from Meng Bai’s camp.

He was so fast that the dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts in the Demon Realm army couldn’t even see which direction he was flying in.

Even Yao Qing and Yao Ji were defeated, but they thought that they would definitely be able to save Yao Buqi.

In their minds, perhaps they felt that they were much stronger than Yao Qing and Yao Ji.

“Second Brother…” Mi Ziwen blushed slightly when he saw Zhou Shu.

He had originally wanted to move with Zhou Shu so that he could help him if anything happened.

In the end, after taking the Essence Cleansing Pill, he had diarrhea for a long time.

He had just settled down when Zhou Shu returned.

Zhou Shu didn’t discover anything and said directly, “I’ve discussed it with Great General Meng. In three days, the army will break out. We’ll be in charge of receiving them.

“Big Brother, will there be any problems with your Hundred Wars Armored Army?”

“No problem!” Mi Ziwen said seriously. Although the process was not too wonderful, he had now discovered the effect of the Essence Cleansing Pill.

His entire body now felt light and agile. As he breathed, he felt that the spiritual qi of heaven and earth he absorbed was much more than before.

The Essence Cleansing Pill had indeed improved his physique!

Not only him, but the soldiers who had taken the Essence Cleansing Pills had also undergone earth-shattering changes. A few of them even directly broke through their cultivation levels!

Although the Essence Cleansing Pill itself wouldn’t increase a martial artist’s cultivation, it improved their physique. Some martial artists who were already on the verge of breaking through naturally broke through directly.

Now, Mi Ziwen’s confidence was unprecedentedly strong.

He even felt that he could directly break through the encirclement of the Demon Realm army with the 1,000 Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers!

“Alright, I’ll tell you about the great general’s plan…” Zhou Shu continued.

He told Mi Ziwen about the breakout plan developed by Meng Bai and the others. Mi Ziwen thought for a moment and asked a few more questions. Then he went to arrange for the Hundred Wars Armored Army to get ready.

They would take action three days later, and they were 900 kilometers away from the battlefield.

The Hundred Wars Armored Army wasn’t weak, but their speed was far from Zhou Shu’s. They could only barely make it in three days.

Therefore, they had to act immediately.

Mi Ziwen went to prepare, and Zhou Shu was about to go to the storeroom to get some standard weapons when he suddenly heard Yin Wuyou’s voice.

“Zhou Shu!”

“Is there something wrong?” Zhou Shu turned around and saw Yin Wuyou’s slender figure walking over.

“Zhou Shu, can you save Little Senior Sister Lu?”
