Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 613 - 590 Young Master Hou (3/3)

Zhou Heng had a peerless treasure on him, and among that group of women, there were similarly those who possessed such treasures!

As the saying goes, "wealth should not be exposed." Did Zhou Heng and his group carelessly reveal theirs because they trusted others too much, or did they have such strong backing that they were not afraid at all?

Could there be any fools who had cultivated to the Realm of the Immortal?

Zi Yingming and Cha Sui didn’t believe that Zhou Heng and the women would so readily trust others, which meant it could only be that their background was incredibly strong, making them unafraid to let others know they possessed treasures!

Zhou Heng ran at the front with Black Donkey, while Zi Yingming and Cha Sui followed closely behind. As for the Huo Tian women, they were neither hurried nor slow, quickly pulling away from Zhou and the other two.

Minutes later, they reached the bottom of the fourth canyon.

A group of people was surrounding a giant white ape!

It wasn’t quite right to say they were surrounding it—they were actually chasing after a white Gigantic Ape! That’s because the ape’s movement technique was immensely agile, always managing to flee before the aggressors could close in, and counterattacking with wind blades as it went.

There were five attackers, yet all of them were helpless against the white ape.

This white ape was naturally the Ice Frost Giant Ape, nearly thirty feet tall with a body covered in long white fur, eyes red as fire and the corners of its mouth revealing two sharp fangs, each a yard long.

The truth was the Giant Ape’s speed wasn’t particularly fast; the ones pursuing it were simply too slow!

—In such bitingly cold temperatures, who could fully exert their strength?

Sensing newcomers had arrived, the Ice Frost Giant Ape glanced at the trio of Zhou Heng, then vigorously beat its chest, sending waves of Divine Sense, saying, "Ga ga ga, three more delicious snacks have arrived!"

Demon Beasts of the Immortal Realm had fully awakened their Spiritual Wisdom. Even though they couldn’t speak like Black Donkey, communicating with them was by no means difficult.

"Hey, scumbag, the big furry ape just ignored you!" Black Donkey stood up on its hooves, pushing Cha Sui with a hoof as its floral skirt fluttered in the mountain breeze, a long strand of donkey hair fluttering about.

"Ptui, it’s ignoring you!" naturally, Cha Sui was not willing to show weakness.

"Ha ha, it wants to eat you, and you’re still vying to be a snack. I’ve never seen someone as cheap as you. Truly, a scumbag!" Black Donkey spread its hooves in resignation.

"Scram!"

"I’ll eat you lot first!" The Ice Frost Giant Ape, seeing a person and a donkey daring to flirt in front of it, was instantly filled with rage.

It had not overlooked Black Donkey; it’s just that a Moonlight King level Demon Beast could hardly whet its appetite, so naturally, it ignored it. To it, the trio of Zhou Heng were brimming with Life Essence Qi, each one a nourishing treat!

If it could eat them along with the other five, perhaps it could break through to Sunshine King.

Once it broke through, it could shatter this space and escape, no longer humiliatedly confined here to act as a watchdog. With the vast world before it, it could roam freely without bounds.

This was what it had always dreamed of!

This was its home ground, where it had dwelled for thousands of years, daily soaking the area with cold air, making this place a paradise for itself, but a Hell for its enemies, here, the Moonlight Emperor could only exert two or three-tenths of their battle power.

"Go!" Cha Sui leapt forward, his palms opening wide like a door panel as he slammed towards the Ice Frost Giant Ape.

Bang!

In the heavy collision sounds, the Ice Frost Giant Ape was knocked back. This Demon Beast was naturally able to manipulate cold air, yet its true combat strength wasn’t that great, possessing only the strength of a Peak Moonlight Emperor.

Cha Sui also retreated; after operating his Immortal Technique, his combat strength was not inferior to his opponent, but he struggled due to the terrifying cold air surrounding him. Once he moved away from Zhou Heng, he felt the cold pricking his flesh, forcing him to circulate Spiritual Power for defense, unable to fully unleash his strength.

The Ice Frost Giant Ape could be stationed here by the great powers of Juexian City to guard the restrictions, naturally for its extraordinary qualities!

However, Zhou Heng was looking at the five people who were previously attacking the Ice Frost Giant Ape.

Four men and one woman, Zhou Heng could only identify one person, and that was Zhang Yuting, the only female. As for which two of the four men were Zhu Xiaoran and Sun Yuchuan, he naturally couldn’t tell.

This only female looked to be around twenty-one to twenty-two, tall and slender, with a beautiful and ethereal spirit. She held a green long sword in her hand, which formed a halo around her that blocked some of the invading cold air — quite extraordinary.

The other four men looked very much like humans, but it wasn’t ruled out that they, like Nalan Wuyue, had their wings and tail hidden.

The Immortal Realm was a gathering place for tens of thousands of races, each leading the pack in their own right.

Seeing Cha Sui and the Ice Frost Giant Ape clashing, the five stopped their movements. A white-haired young man swept his gaze past Zi Yingming’s face and revealed a cold smile, said, "I wondered who it was, turns out it’s the solitaire Dragon King from Diamond City, Zi Yingming!"

"Zhu Xiaoran, Sun Yuchuan, Zhang Yuting, Lin Huaqiang—" Zi Yingming pointed out each of the five individuals in turn, telling Zhou Heng and Cha Sui who they were, and finally pointing to the young man with white hair, "Young Master Guo Yuhou!"

"Now that you know who I am, back off!" the young man with white hair, Guo Yuhou, snorted, his eyes opening wide as his aura surged tremendously.

"Ha ha, the name Young Master Guo Yuhou might intimidate those third-rate fighters, but it means nothing in front of me, Zi Yingming!" Zi Yingming said disdainfully, full of arrogance.

"Hmph!" That statement offended Zhu Xiaoran and the others; they glared at Zi Yingming, full of fighting spirit.

"Zi Yingming, there will eventually be a battle between us, but this Ice Frost Giant Ape was discovered by me first. Give me some face!" Guo Yuhou spoke coolly, his mouth said one thing but his expression was extremely arrogant, dripping with condescension.

"Ha ha, you really think of yourself as a noble, Guo Yuhou? We’re in the Starwind Space; it’s about who throws the hardest punch, what’s your face worth here?" Zi Yingming stood with his hands behind his back, his face equally filled with disdain.

Although Xiwu City had produced many young talents, Guo Yuhou and Zi Yingming were the most outstanding at the Moonlight Emperor level. The two were of similar age, and debate over who was stronger had never ceased; however, they had never had the chance to cross hands until now by a twist of fate.

This conflict was about more than just an Ice Frost Giant Ape; it was about the glory of being the first Moonlight Emperor of Xiwu City.

"Others may pit us against each other, but in my eyes, you’re not even worthy to be my opponent!" Guo Yuhou stated haughtily.

"Likewise!" Zi Yingming retorted, not to be outdone.

"Hey, are you two going to fight or not? I’m running out of patience here!" the Black Donkey couldn’t help but interject, always eager to stir trouble, reveling in chaos.

Both Guo Yuhou and Zi Yingming ignored the Black Donkey. Not only were they Moonlight Emperors, but they were among the best of them, possessing battle power surpassing even a Peak Moonlight Emperor; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to come here.

A mere King Level Demon Beast didn’t even have the privilege to catch their eye; they could simply squash it with a finger if annoyed.

"I’ve heard that the Zi Family’s One-Yang Break Heaven is unparalleled in Xiwu City, today I shall experience it for myself!" Guo Yuhou said, looking at Zi Yingming.

"The Guo Family’s Pure Yang Wuji Finger is also one of the unique arts of Xiwu City, I’ve long admired its reputation!" Zi Yingming also looked at Guo Yuhou. The two stood a hundred yards apart but an invisible aura had already spread between them, cracking rocks to pieces under the terrifying force.

"Zhou, they’ve started fighting, let’s quickly take down that Giant Ape and snatch its treasures!" the Black Donkey whispered.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh wryly. So the cheeky donkey had egged on Guo Yuhou and Zi Yingming to fight just to eliminate two competitors! He said, "Then you go, I’ll cheer you on from behind!"

The Black Donkey immediately stepped back and said, "Cheering is not something you can do; it has to be done by a professional like me!"

Zhou Heng looked displeased and said, "If I intervene, don’t blame me if you freeze to death!"

The Black Donkey shivered; it had only thought of taking on the Ice Frost Giant Ape and hadn’t considered the temperature here, which could freeze a Moonlight King to death! Without Zhou Heng to shield it from the cold, it was more likely dead than alive!

"...I’ve thought about it, and we are civilized beings; fighting isn’t suited for us!" it hurriedly said.

"I am a civilized person, you are a donkey, not of the same kind!" Zhou Heng snorted.

"Woof, I’ll bite you to death!"

Though Zhou Heng said that, he had already locked his Divine Sense on the Ice Frost Giant Ape. He wasn’t particularly interested in its fur, but the Life Essence Qi of a Peak Moonlight Emperor was extremely valuable.

Despite its huge size, the Ice Frost Giant Ape was quite cowardly, inversely proportional to its size. When it realized it wasn’t overwhelmingly stronger, it no longer engaged Cha Sui head-on but resorted to hit-and-run tactics.

Though this seemed cowardly, it was incredibly effective, since the temperature here was excessively low, forcing everyone to consume vast amounts of Spiritual Power for protection; prolonged exposure would inevitably exhaust them!

—As long as you can eliminate the enemy, why risk yourself?

Boom!

Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou had started fighting, both looking down on each other yet equally matched in strength, spurring a fierce battle.

Both were Four Wheels Moonlight Emperors, yet their battle power was not inferior to a Peak Moonlight Emperor. The aftermath of their battle was extremely fierce, and the pervasive deadly cold air added a severe threat to everyone nearby.

The crowd opened their Spiritual Power Defense Shields to protect themselves; although they were slightly inferior to Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou, they were still more than able to defend themselves.

Zhu Xiaoran and the others spread out, forming a strategy to encircle the Ice Frost Giant Ape. They all possessed battle power exceeding their actual realms, and given the chance for a direct confrontation, they could definitely smash the frontally weak Demon Beast.

Zhou Heng watched the Ice Frost Giant Ape, he had patience for women but not much else. He was getting impatient.

Whoosh, he burst out flying, Black Sword in hand. He didn’t want to wait any longer. (To be continued. If you like this novel, please go to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
