Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

"Stingy fool, is that damn Black Donkey really dead?" Seeing the pitiful state of the Black Donkey, Lin Fuxiang felt sympathy instead.

"Have you forgotten how this despicable donkey cursed at you, silly girl!" An Yumei took the opportunity to kick the donkey’s rear several times. She had long wanted to do so, but the wily donkey had been too slippery, only now had she gotten the chance.

Zhou Heng held a Yellow Dragon Pill and asked the three women, "Does any of you know the effects of the Yellow Dragon Pill?"

This medicine should not be taken lightly.

All three women shook their heads, while the Black Donkey was still foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

"Eh, how did the Yellow Dragon Pill end up in your hands?" Just then, two figures suddenly appeared at the doorway of the pill chamber, the speaker being Liu Shengjie. His eyes were fixed on the Yellow Dragon Pill, unable to hide his greed.

Given that this profoundly cunning man showed such obvious greed, the Yellow Dragon Pill must be extraordinary; no wonder even the Black Donkey was tempted.

"Zhou Heng, give me the Yellow Dragon Pill, and we’ll call it even between us!" Liu Shengjie said generously, as though he was bestowing Zhou Heng a huge favor.

What incredible audacity it took to say such a thing without blushing or getting flustered!

"Cousin, why waste words with him; just snatch it directly!" The man beside him said, his face wearing a haughty expression.

It turned out to be Liu Shengjie’s older cousin!

No wonder the two were together. It’s known that in matters of interest, the so-called comradery and friendship can’t be relied upon; only further blood relations might endure such tests.

Of course, it also depends on the nature of the test – if Zhou Heng were willing to offer the Black Sword along with a description of its uses, surely many real brothers might turn against him.

"Be careful; this man is Zhang Zaiyun with the Initial Separation Realm, Third Layer Heaven cultivation!" Gu Zi whispered.

This time, there were four in the Initial Separation Realm, Third Layer Heaven entering the relic. Among them, three had reached the peak, although it’s unknown how many had the qualifications to challenge the Land Cleaving Realm, but had restrained themselves just for this exploration.

However, that definitely wasn’t Zhang Zaiyun, as he was still in the Medium Period of the Third Layer Heaven.

"Leave the Yellow Dragon Pill and scram!" Zhang Zaiyun’s gaze swept over An Yumei, pausing slightly, then he coldly said.

Zhou Heng believed that if An Yumei weren’t present, the other party would definitely not waste words and would have attacked to kill and rob directly! After all, even the Heavenly Star Sect had to be somewhat wary of a Loose Cultivator at the Heaven-Opening Realm!

—Zhang Zaiyun was indeed a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect. Although his talents were not as outstanding as Nangong Yuerong, he was only thirty-seven years old and could definitely be considered a genius!

"What’s the use of this Yellow Dragon Pill?" Zhou Heng knew that the despicable donkey wasn’t easy to fool, so he might as well ask the two in front of him.

With amusement, Liu Shengjie said, "You dare to ask me?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare," Zhou Heng shrugged. "However, I’m not asking you; I’m asking him!" He pointed at Zhang Zaiyun and then turned to Liu Shengjie. "I’ll kill you first, then ask him!"

"What big talk; have you lost your mind?" Zhang Zaiyun said coldly, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"Cousin, there’s a Mountains and Rivers Realm level formation here concealing us. Even if this woman has a Message Transmitting Stone or something similar, it’s impossible to send a message out. You handle An Yumei and Gu Zi first, and I’ll take care of the other two and the donkey—eh!"

Liu Shengjie looked at Lin Fuxiang and then at the Black Donkey on the ground, suddenly his world flipped into chaos!

What’s going on!

How did a donkey suddenly appear? Plus, Lin Fuxiang clearly didn’t secure a spot, so how come she’s here!

"Cousin, they have a Space Artifact that can store living creatures!" After being dumbstruck, Liu Shengjie suddenly exclaimed, his face filled with euphoria.

A Space Artifact alone is immensely valuable; let alone him who didn’t possess one, even his father couldn’t produce such a treasure, held only by few big shots of the Heavenly Star Sect. Normal Space Artifacts can’t accommodate living creatures; anything kept inside would die—or be so powerful it bursts the artifact!

A Space Artifact that can contain living creatures could only be crafted by a Nascent Soul Realm expert, as life is the most miraculous thing. Only when the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s Dantian nurtures a Divine Fetus can one comprehend the mysteries of life.

In that instant, Liu Shengjie "understood": no wonder Zhou Heng, although just a Three Stars Human Spirit Body, could progress terrifyingly in cultivation and possessed heaven-defying battle power, unrivaled among his peers! All of it came from that at least Nascent Soul Realm-level treasure, it must be!

Luckily, he had encountered him now, otherwise it would be tough to deal with the boy once he advanced to the Initial Separation Realm!

Spare no expense in seizing it; such a heaven-defying chance belonged to him!

Nascent Soul Realm-level treasures, oh!

Liu Shengjie’s eyes turned red, and Zhang Zaiyun was not much better; both stared intently at Zhou Heng, their breathing growing heavy and rapid.

"Don’t be greedy; you’re about to lose your life!" Zhou Heng said coldly.

"You go grab that kid’s treasures, and I’ll hold off these two women!" Deciding on the spot, Zhang Zaiyun knew even though he was confident of defeating the joint effort of the two women of the Initial Separation Realm, it would ultimately not be an immediate victory. As the night draws on, dreams proliferate; naturally, it’s safer to have the treasure in his own hands.

"Hmm!" Liu Shengjie showed a fierce look; he had been wanting to kill Zhou Heng not just for a day or two but was unfortunately thwarted first by Lv Sue’s betrayal, and later although he instigated enmity between Zhou Heng and the Nangong Family, Zhou Heng had survived using his formidable strength.

But now, tempted by a precious treasure, he had to kill Zhou Heng, even if An Luochen would find out later, he couldn’t care less!

"Zhou Heng, you shouldn’t have been so ungrateful! If you had obediently become my dog, you could have lived well!" Liu Shengjie extended his right hand, and a sword as clear as crystal water appeared in his hand, clearly no ordinary blade.

To prevent anyone from interfering, he had to kill Zhou Heng in the shortest time possible, so despite it being an act of "bullying the weaker," he immediately used a magic artifact.

"Now, die!" Liu Shengjie leaped forward, raising the magic artifact in his hand high, and slashed towards Zhou Heng.

He knew Zhou Heng held the advantage, but in the face of absolute power, what use was an advantage!

Die! Die! Die!

He sneered viciously, having dreamed countless times of this moment, but it was only now that he was finally getting his wish.

Zhang Zaiyun, on the other hand, was watching Gu Zi and An Yumei to prevent them from intervening to save someone, but to his surprise, not only did the two women show no intention of intervening, they leisurely watched the scene unfold!

This... What was this! At this moment, he even felt sad for Zhou Heng; this guy was really miserable, to encounter such heartless and unrighteous women.

Zhou Heng simply smiled and said, "Liu Shengjie, let me give you a piece of advice, before you fight someone, it’s best to figure out their strength! But never mind, say no more, since you won’t have a future anyway!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Shengjie’s sword swept past, already reaching Zhou Heng’s neck. He couldn’t wait to see the head fly and the blood spray — a beautiful scene.

He obviously understood the principle of knowing oneself and one’s enemy, but he wasn’t clear about Zhou Heng’s level, unbeatable at Spirit Gathering Realm indeed, but to compete with the Initial Separation Realm? He didn’t know by how far, an absolutely impassable chasm!

Could it be that this guy could break into the Initial Separation Realm in just a few days?

Liu Shengjie’s heart skipped a beat suddenly. Zhou Heng had advanced into the Spirit Gathering Realm not many days ago, but he had successively broken through to the Third Layer Heaven of Spirit Gathering Realm in a short period of time, it wasn’t impossible for him to advance further!

Impossible! Impossible!

A great realm wasn’t so easily breached, and with only a Three Stars Human Spirit Body and not strong Bloodline Power, how could he possibly break through within a mere ten days!

He must be bluffing, it must be so!

Zhou Heng acted, instantly undergoing Metallic Transformation, grabbing Liu Shengjie’s sword in one move. He had mastered the situation, any changes were child’s play to him; this grab, seemingly effortless, was something Liu Shengjie couldn’t possibly avoid.

"Seeking death!" Liu Shengjie snorted coldly. How would Bloodline Power matter without enough strength to support it, still trash! "Break!" he roared, his Spiritual Power operating, ready to shatter Zhou Heng’s hand.

"Don’t be so sure!" Zhou Heng held firmly onto the blade, continuously emitting sharp, piercing squeaks.

Liu Shengjie felt a chill in his heart!

Initial Separation Realm! Truly Initial Separation Realm! How many days had it been, this guy had gained another huge breakthrough, was there no justice in heaven! It must be the Nascent Soul Realm treasure in his hand that could create such a miraculous wonder against heaven’s will!

If only I had known, why didn’t I strike earlier to avoid raising a tiger to court calamity!

Regretting the past! Oh, how I regret it!

"Let go!" Zhou Heng ordered coldly, pulling forcefully, and Liu Shengjie couldn’t hold onto his sword, which was forcibly taken away.

He did have a dantian space forty times that of an ordinary Initial Separation Realm cultivator. Of course, Liu Shengjie could also be considered a talent, his Dantian Space being much larger than an ordinary Initial Separation cultivator, but still at least ten times smaller than Zhou Heng’s!

Therefore, Liu Shengjie, though he was at the peak of Initial Separation Realm’s First Layer Heaven, could not match Zhou Heng in a contest of strength, even with the augmentation of a magic artifact!

"Cousin, let’s join forces to kill him!" Liu Shengjie said through clenched teeth, this guy was truly a monstrous genius, just having broken into Initial Separation Realm and already possessing strength surpassing his, plus mastering the situation, he was no match in ninety-nine percent of the cases.

"No wonder!" Zhang Zaiyun looked proudly towards Zhou Heng. No wonder An Yumei and Gu Zi didn’t intervene, since Zhou Heng had already advanced into Initial Separation Realm, they naturally had no fears.

"However, the gap is the gap, I am at the Medium Period of Third Layer Heaven of Initial Separation Realm, even if you four joined hands, you wouldn’t be my match!"

Under normal circumstances, this was indeed the case; a warrior of Medium Period of Third Layer Heaven in Initial Separation Realm was enough to rival five from the Second Layer Heaven of the same realm, and even considering Black Donkey, Zhou Heng and his group, which also included a Spirit Gathering cultivator, totaled only five people.

But Zhou Heng’s battle power could not be calculated by common sense!

"You talk too much!" Zhou Heng casually tossed aside the magic artifact in his hand and swung a punch towards Liu Shengjie.

"How dare you!" Zhang Zaiyun shouted angrily and threw a punch, meeting Zhou Heng’s attack.

Boom!

A loud noise, violent power surged, Zhou Heng and Zhang Zaiyun were simultaneously blown away, one slamming into the inner room’s wall, the other directly blasted out the door, slamming into the corridor’s wall.
