Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Zhou Heng’s right fist tightened, and he charged towards the massive fire monster.

His punch brought a fierce gust of wind, as if it could tear the air itself apart!

Boom!

But when his fist struck the fire monster, Zhou Heng felt something was off, because the creature’s body had no solidity, and his punch essentially hit thin air!

At that moment, the fire monster’s palm came down too, its fiery anger rolling.

Clearly, the monster also realized Zhou Heng was not easy to handle, so it did not try to grab him and throw him into its mouth, as that would require it to reincorporate itself!

Zhou Heng’s left fist struck again, launching a Minor Rune, but he only condensed ten Broken Runes, really afraid that he might kill the monster with one punch!

Bam!

This time, even though the monster was made of flames, it was no use, as it was smashed back directly by the punch and hit a mountain heavily, a hole appearing on its body where no flames boiled, looking extremely bizarre.

Zhou Heng, because of his initial carelessness, also got his face and upper body scorched, turning them to a charred black, and he could faintly smell the scent of cooked meat. But he simply turned a Minor Healing Rune, and his injuries immediately healed, although his burnt clothes couldn’t be mended.

"Aoow —" The fire monster raised its head and roared angrily, opening its mouth wide to inhale deeply, drawing numerous flames into it, making the flames on its body dance wildly, quickly filling up the hole on its abdomen.

It only took a few blinks of an eye for it to recover from the injuries, and it then shouted loudly at Zhou Heng, though it dared not provoke him lightly.

In that strike just now, it had tasted the fierceness of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng suddenly realized why those people before had completely lost their will to fight, because this fire monster was nearly undying! In this special place, as long as it couldn’t be exploded with one strike, it could heal its wounds by absorbing the flames!

However, this was not a difficult task for Zhou Heng.

Through that hit, Zhou Heng also knew that this creature should be a Nine Wheels Sun King, equal in strength to him, but how many Immortal Techniques did he possess? Blood River Heavenly Scripture, Sky-soaring Nine Forms, and even the Great Rune on his forehead, which one wasn’t playing with same-level Martial Artists?

"Hahaha, so here’s where this fire terror beast is!" A long laugh came as an elegantly built young man, looking no more than twenty-something, in blue clothes, holding a long sword with a cold gleam like water, filled with confidence on his face, sprung in.

He breezed past Zhou Heng, not stopping for a moment, and shot out again, slashing his sword towards the fire monster!

Sword Qi soared, dancing across the sky.

Zhou Heng frowned. Although everything here was unclaimed, he was in the middle of fighting this fire monster. It was rather disrespectful for someone to barge into the fight without even greeting him.

But he had to admit, the young man was very powerful, fighting fiercely with the fire monster with expansive Sword Qi, although he did not seem to be losing at all, it was uncertain how much time it would take to win.

Down the mountain, many people ran over, causing Zhou Heng to drop the thought of immediately intervening.

"No wonder he is called Little Sword Overlord Wu Dong, apart from the Five Great Sunshine Sovereigns, his strength is the strongest. Given time, he will surely catch up with those five and become the sixth Sunshine Sovereign!"

"Did I hear he is a relative of One Sword Breaks the Heavens Wu Qi?"

"That’s right, not just a relative, but a close cousin too!"

"Incredible, the Wu Family has already produced one young Supreme, and now here’s another, how can other people compete?"

"You probably don’t know, but the Zhou Family also has two young Supremes!"

"I know, Little Overlord Zhou Tong and a young man named Zhou Heng, but Zhou Tong is really powerful, Zhou Heng is said to be only a Moonlight Emperor, nowhere near as good as these two brothers from the Wu Family, both beyond the limits as Sunshine Kings!"

"Hmm, I’ve heard Zhou Heng is quite demonic too, able to fight Sunshine Kings, even defeating a follower of Wu Qi, a Sunshine King! But no one has seen it with their own eyes, it’s probably exaggerated, just rumors spreading, how could there be such a strong Moonlight Emperor in the world?"

"Brother Zhou Tong is definitely not as good as Brother Wu Qi, now let’s see which of the five young Supremes will be the first to break into Eleven Wheels Sun, breaking the realm barrier, with the power to truly rival a Sunshine Sovereign!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion. After all, only a few people had attended Hu Mei’s banquet, and the vast majority had not witnessed the battles of Zhou Heng with Luo Wuji and Wu Qi, naturally not believing that Zhou Heng could really defeat a Sunshine King, let alone fight a limit-breaking Sunshine King!

Black Donkey poked Zhou Heng with its hoof, whispering, "Zhou, these guys are looking down on you, can you stand this? If it were me, I absolutely couldn’t!"

"Yeah, beat them up!" Bing Xiulan added fuel to the fire, "Don’t worry, we’ll be cheering for you from behind!"

These two!

Zhou Heng shook his head, his gaze turning to Wu Dong, this cousin of Wu Qi possessed great strength, battling indecisively with the fire monster. Sword Qi had the capability to attack the flaming body of the monster, posing a great threat to it.

As the battle intensified, both the man and the beast unleashed their full power, Eighteen Wheel Red Suns turned, oppressive heatwaves pushing in.

The fire monster’s Red Sun was truly like nine small suns, burning with boiling flames, while Wu Dong’s Red Sun was much more normal, just tainted with mixed colors, not yet reaching the ultimate purity.

Both sides exerted their full strength, Sword Qi crisscrossing, flames scorching the sky, yet still unable to decide a victor.

"Hmph, let me show you my prowess!" Amid the staring crowd, Wu Dong naturally wanted to fiercely compete and display his elegance.

He had always taken pride in Wu Qi as his idol, but as his own fame rose, he increasingly detested the identity of "Cousin Wu Qi"—as if all his achievements were not his own but due to his cousin!

Wu Dong was desperate to prove himself!

He was Wu Dong! The Little Sword Marquis Wu Dong, not remembered just because he was a cousin of One Sword Breaks the Heavens or a clan member!

He must slay this fire monster!

He took a deep breath; a pale green light immediately gathered around his sword, and veins popped on his forehead while sweat rolled down—it was clear that commanding the next sword stroke would not be easy, but its power was undeniably extraordinary!

Whoosh!

The sword’s power-up was quickly completed, and the Sword Qi swept across as if it could shake the stars from the sky!

"Ahhh—" The fire monster screamed miserably as the sword stroke savagely severed one of its arms! Not only that, but flames gushed out from the severed limb, and despite absorbing the flames, it could not keep pace with the loss from the wound!

The monster instantly became disheartened and, not daring to counterattack Wu Dong anymore, quickly turned and fled!

Unfortunately for it, it ran straight towards Zhou Heng!

No need for pleasantries, Zhou Heng unleashed the Black Sword!

Thud!

The head of the fire monster was brutally chopped off, its body flames dimmed, then quickly retracted towards the center, ultimately condensing into a fist-sized red stone.

Struck by the Black Sword at its vital point, no existence could survive!

But Zhou Heng immediately discovered that he didn’t absorb any Life Essence Qi, as if the Black Sword was ineffective against this special type of creature!

This fire monster was like the precursor of the Fire Divine Furnace; it originally was a piece of Sun Essence Gold, which had gained Spiritual Wisdom from absorbing the heavenly and earthly fires. If not refined into the Fire Divine Furnace early on, it could have run rampant just like this fire monster!

This fire monster was essentially a Fire Stone that had gained sentience!

"Furnace, does this Fire Stone contain Exotic Fire?" Zhou Heng picked up the stone and asked the Fire Divine Furnace in his Dantian.

"What gall, daring to take my stuff!" Before the Fire Divine Furnace could answer, Wu Dong, having recovered from his previous mighty attack, coldly said, his face barely concealing his rage.

He had completely forgotten that it was he who had first taken Zhou Heng’s fight, and now it was his turn to be seized, and he could hardly contain his fury!

"Nothing—" replied the Fire Divine Furnace lazily.

Zhou Heng thought it made sense; if the stone really contained Exotic Fire, the Fire Divine Furnace would have clamored impatiently long before he had to ask!

"You little mongrel, I was talking to you!" Wu Dong saw Zhou Heng spacing out and got even angrier; daring to space out in front of him was a grave disrespect!

Zhou Heng’s eyes sharpened, revealing a trace of murderous intent.

The term "little mongrel" was not just an insult to him but also to his parents!

Point at Zhou Heng’s nose and curse him, and he might not bother responding, but involving his parents was something he would never let slide!

Moreover, he had absolutely no fondness for the Wu Family! freewёbnoνel.com

"Go clean your neck, young master wants to behead it!" Zhou Heng said coldly, mentioning youthful arrogance—indeed, he was it, not yet thirty, right in his reckless youth.

Hiss!

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts; the master was domineering indeed, actually telling the Little Sword Marquis Wu Dong to clean his neck to be executed—apparently, a dirty neck was beneath his consideration for striking!

But who was Wu Dong? A genius with Nine Wheels Sun, a presence surpassing the peak of the Sunshine King! Although lesser by one wheel of Red Sun Power compared to Wu Qi, it was just a matter of a hundred or even just a few decades of hard cultivation!

Perhaps this time, with some luck finding a treasure, he could jump directly to Eleven Wheels Sun, truly breaking the realm barrier to become the Supreme!

Indeed, the fire monster died at Zhou Heng’s hands, but it had been wounded by Wu Dong before that, and Zhou Heng merely took advantage—not really proving his combat strength was indeed that formidable!

Thinking his slicing of a Nine Wheels Sun monster made him a Nine, or even Ten Wheels Sun King?

Naive!

People generally were not optimistic about Zhou Heng; they had already made a verdict in their hearts before the fight even started—Zhou Heng was doomed to fail, Wu Dong destined to win!

"Hahaha!" Wu Dong laughed loudly, his face expressing even stronger displeasure—he wanted to kill, kill, kill!(To be continued.
