Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 112 - Shadow Evasion Talisman

However, the same opponent met a completely different situation when encountering Zhou Heng.

Because Zhou Heng possessed momentum!

To counter momentum, one needed momentum or an overwhelming level of strength!

But when facing a freak like Zhou Heng, it was impossible to overwhelm someone at the peak of Initial Separation Third Layer Heaven.

As for momentum?

What a joke, that was the challenge one received only after passing the trials of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower!

Zhou Heng felt the powerful force within him.

His divine sense and spiritual perception had both undergone a qualitative leap after this breakthrough, giving him a feeling of ultimate power and supremacy.

While the combat with four arms presented him with some trouble, it was just a minor nuisance.

A few minutes later, he shattered the opponent that Gu Zi had been unable to defeat for months, earning himself the second reward.

Ten paper talismans.

The moment Zhou Heng’s fingers touched them, information immediately conveyed their use.

Shadow Evasion Talismans!

By tearing one open, one could be randomly teleported thousands of miles away—a life-saving tool.

Zhou Heng, having the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, gave An Yumei and her two companions two Shadow Evasion Talismans each.

He also had to save two for Zhou Dinghai.

Each Shadow Evasion Talisman was worth a life, and two talismans were equivalent to two lives—worth more than all the gold in the world!

Although he had gained an additional means of saving his life, Zhou Heng was not particularly satisfied, because it did nothing to help his cultivation improve.

Fortunately, after ingesting the Bright Jade Bee Honey, Lin Fuxiang and the other two women experienced a great improvement in their cultivation levels.

Gu Zi had the most noticeable increase, breaking directly into Initial Separation Second Layer Heaven.

An Yumei reached the peak of Initial Separation First Layer Heaven, and for the time being, she couldn’t make a breakthrough.

This wasn’t just about accumulating enough strength but also depended on one’s comprehension.

Lin Fuxiang, on the other hand, demonstrated remarkable potential.

She not only broke into Gathering Spirit Second Layer Heaven but also rushed to the peak of Gathering Spirit Second Layer Heaven in one go.

“Silly girl, silly luck!” Zhou Heng couldn’t help but sigh.

It was not hard to understand—after all, it was certainly ten times easier to advance in the Spirit Gathering Realm than in the Initial Separation Realm.

All three women made another attempt at the challenge, but unfortunately, none succeeded.

Zhou Heng did not allow them to waste more time as they were still in the ancient cultivation site.

Calculating the time, it had only been three days in total, not very long.

“We’ll stay in the Spirit Herb Garden for at most five more days.

We can’t spend all our time here!” Zhou Heng said.

“Yes!” An Yumei and the other two women nodded.

While the Spirit Herb Garden was where they were most likely to find rewards, the most valuable places were destined not to be there.

After so many years of looting, almost all the older spirit grasses had been picked clean.

But it was different for other places.

Surely the Treasure Artifact Pavilion had high-end magic artifacts, and because of the restrictions, the artifacts that remained must be the best!

Unlike the Mountain Protection Array, which draws its power from the raw forces of nature and would never run out unless a cataclysm occurs, the restrictions in the Treasure Artifact Pavilion are powered by spirit stones.

Once depleted, they are useless.

Thus, each time the Treasure Artifact Pavilion reveals one or two high-tier magic artifacts.

Though Zhou Heng was not particularly concerned about magic artifacts, as he already possessed the Black Sword, An Yumei and the others needed them.

Besides, if he didn’t use them himself, couldn’t he sell them?

Heavenly and earthly treasures like the Wind Spirit Fruit needed to be purchased for a hefty price, and having lots of money would never burn a hole in one’s pocket!

The four of them left the Nine Mystic Trial Tower and continued forward.

Each of them had greatly improved; their spirits were high, and they were eager for someone to pick a fight with them so they could have a good brawl.

As they were hoping for this, they suddenly heard shouts and curses coming from deep within the forest.

Zhou Heng and the others instantly perked up, exchanged glances, and in unison said, “Let’s go take a look!”

But before they could get closer, whoosh—a black shadow flashed by, and a huge object burst out of the woods.

Zhou Heng’s vision was now exceptionally sharp, and with just a glance, he made out the black shadow’s appearance clearly.

His expression also turned extremely strange in an instant.

“Gaga gaga!

To catch up with me, you’d need another ten thousand years of cultivation!

Come chase me, and I’ll reward you with a face full of gold!” The black shadow cackled madly.

As it saw Zhou Heng and the others below, it sprinted out ten zhang then, instead of continuing to flee, returned on its four legs.

“You brat, how did you get here too!” Swish—the creature ran up to Zhou Heng and immediately aimed a hoof at him.

“You shameless donkey, you really can’t change your ways!” Zhou Heng cursed as he too threw a punch.

“Huh, the little brat has actually mastered momentum!”

The dark figure was naturally that shamelessly cheeky Black Donkey, which let out a cry of surprise as it suddenly stood upright, retreating step after step until it narrowly dodged Zhou Heng’s punch.

“You shameless donkey, how are you not dead yet?” Zhou Heng said without any politeness.

“This Lord is beloved by all, flowers bloom at my presence.

Who would wish for my death?” the Black Donkey immediately sneered, a look of self-righteousness on its face.

This thick-skinned, shameless donkey’s self-perception was ridiculously good!

An Yumei and the other two girls were petrified—anyone would be stupefied upon encountering a talking donkey!

“Shameless Donkey, no escaping!” In mid-conversation, four figures leaped out from the woods, all of them Initial Separation Realm experts.

“Hey, have you caused trouble again?” Zhou Heng looked towards the Black Donkey, his face filled with schadenfreude.

This donkey was inherently bad through and through and always had its mouth full of foul language, so it was entirely normal that it was being chased and hunted down.

“Zhou, kill these idiots for me!” The Black Donkey, still standing upright, attempted to put a forehoof on Zhou Heng’s shoulder but was shrugged off by Zhou Heng, causing it to return to all fours.

It said disdainfully, “So what if I ate a few of their grasses?

Damn, how stingy can they be?

They aren’t donkeys, why compete with me!”

Zhou Heng instantly realized that these “grasses” must have been the Spiritual Fruits and Exotic Herbs that the four people had found with great difficulty.

Who wouldn’t explode into rage having them eaten?

This cheeky donkey indeed had a knack for causing trouble everywhere it went!

“Zhou Heng?” Naturally, the four recognized the currently renowned Zhou Heng, but they all wore a look of disdain.

After all, even the most outstanding Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artist couldn’t possibly compare with someone in the Initial Separation Realm.

In their eyes, Zhou Heng was just a slightly stronger ant unless he reached the Initial Separation Realm one day.

“Are you in cahoots with this shameless donkey?” A man dressed in a grey long robe coldly asked Zhou Heng.

“What’s it to you!” Although Zhou Heng didn’t like the shameless donkey, he was even more annoyed by the man’s condescending attitude, and he responded with even greater arrogance.

“Zhou, beat them up for me!” The Black Donkey came over to stir up some trouble, “Just by looking at these four idiots you can tell they’re begging for a beating, daring to chase after me.

They’re as blind as bats, Zhou, no need to hold back.

Cut them down for me!”

“Turns out they’re all together!” The man in grey laughed coldly, “Then we’ll just kill all of them, and we’ll have fewer competitors.”

“Just you handful of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

I could take care of you with just one leg.

But, seeing as Zhou is pleading so desperately to serve me, I’ll leave these idiots to you!” The Black Donkey once again played dirty, kicking Zhou Heng forward.

With much improved cultivation, the donkey’s kick caught Zhou Heng off guard, sending him stumbling.

“Everyone step back!” The shameless donkey never changed its ways and hurried An Yumei and the other two girls to step back.

The three women were still shocked at the talking donkey and blankly retreated step by step.

“Zhou, why aren’t you making your move yet!” The Black Donkey loudly spoke in its usually infuriating manner, “Don’t be scared to death.

If you die, I’ll take care of these three chicks for you.

Though they’re as ugly as sin, I can bear it for grimacing’s sake.

Come on, sing a song for me, and you two, rub my legs!” It instructed the three girls.

Zhou Heng was well aware of the donkey’s annoying nature and naturally didn’t take its words to heart.

Otherwise, he really would have died of anger.

His gaze swept over the four in grey robes, and he smirked, “I was actually looking for someone to fight with.

Come at me all together!”

What a bold claim!

Mere Spirit Gathering Realm fellow daring to simultaneously challenge four Initial Separation Realm experts wasn’t just brave but downright conceited.

“Hmph, let me be the one to send you down to the Underworld!” The man in grey stepped forward, and with a casual palm strike towards Zhou Heng, dozens of blue streams of Vigorous Qi burst forth, freezing the nearby air into frost!

Although the man in grey spoke with scorn, his palm strike was a Martial Arts Technique, evidently intent on crushing Zhou Heng in a single blow to intimidate An Yumei and the other two girls.

Many factors, including momentum, confidence, and emotion, affect the outcome of a fight between contestants of the same realm.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out as Zhou Heng gave the man in grey a solid slap across the face!

Silence, utter silence!

How could this be possible!

A Spirit Gathering Realm whippersnapper had just casually slapped an Initial Separation Realm expert.

This had to be a dream, right?

“Well slapped, superbly slapped, music to my ears!” The Black Donkey clapped its hooves and laughed manically, leaping with excitement and sticking its rear in the air, twisting it back and forth.

“You can’t even beat my underling.

What a pile of dog crap!”

“Initial Separation Realm!” Another slender, middle-aged man amongst them had a grave expression.

He was the first to come to his senses; even a freakish Spirit Gathering Realm could not achieve such a feat!

“Only now you’re catching on?” Zhou Heng’s fists clenched, “Coincidentally, I’d like to slaughter you all!”

“Bullshit!” The man in grey finally collected himself, veins bulging on his face with rage.

Regardless of whether Zhou Heng was of the Spirit Gathering Realm or the Initial Separation Realm, he was indeed slapped squarely across the face—an utter and disgraceful humiliation!

“Die!” He let out a fierce yell, lunging towards Zhou Heng.
