Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 614 - 591: Completely Unreasonable (1/2)
Chapter 614: Chapter 591: Completely Unreasonable (1/2)
The fourth section of the canyon was incomparably chilly, so cold that even the Moonlight Emperor’s spiritual power circulation was affected, significantly impacting both his attack power and movement speed, allowing him only to unleash twenty to thirty percent of his capabilities.
Honestly, the Ice Frost Giant Ape wasn’t very fast, but because everyone else was slower, it seemed quick. Navigating through the attacks of many experts with ease, if this stalemate continued, it was bound to be the victor.
That’s why it had no intention of fleeing. Instead, it aimed to prevent everyone else’s escape. It had been thousands of years since anyone had visited this place; today, it planned a massive slaughter!
Whoosh!
Zhou Heng’s figure moved as fast as lightning, darting toward the Ice Frost Giant Ape, pushing his Swift Cloud Radiant Step to its limit.
With the Bone Talisman expelling the cold, his movement was utterly unaffected. Coupled with his full force driving the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his speed was now far beyond that of the Ice Frost Giant Ape!
Who could have imagined that a Moonlight Sovereign could burst out with such terrifying speed?
By the time the Ice Frost Giant Ape realized this, Zhou Heng had already arrived right in front of it!
Courting death!
The Demon Beast sneered in its heart. A mere Moonlight Sovereign dares to attack it? But why was he unaffected by the cold? Could it be... he wore clothes made from the fur of its kind?
The Ice Frost Giant Ape was instantly enraged and swung its right arm at Zhou Heng, its five claws each half a foot long, like five sharp blades!
Demon Beasts don’t understand the art of weapon forging, but their bodies are equivalent to weapons. These five claws could easily tear apart the body of a Moonlight Sovereign of the same realm!
Zhou Heng’s left hand pushed forward, operating the Overturning Heaven Palm!
Boom!
Fifteen and a half moon wheels suddenly shone behind him, each emitting a chilling moonlight, pressing down on the Ice Frost Giant Ape!
Moon Wheel Technique, Thousand Frost Chill!
Simultaneously, the Overturning Heaven Palm also roared out, transforming into a gigantic azure hand that smashed forward unstoppably.
With two great Immortal Techniques unleashed, even though Zhou Heng was not as powerful as a Peak Moonlight Emperor, the techniques sufficed to compensate for everything!
"Roar—" The Ice Frost Giant Ape suddenly let out a pained howl. Both the Thousand Frost Chill and the Overturning Heaven Palm struck its heart deeply, causing it to stagger and reluctantly retreat. Though it was fierce and bloodthirsty, it was even more naturally cowardly. Suffering this slight disadvantage immediately spurred it to consider fleeing the battlefield.
After all, given the severe cold here, it was sure to win if the battle dragged on. So why risk fighting to the death?
Just then, Zhou Heng thrust out with a sword!
Sword Breaking the Heavens!
Both the Thousand Frost Chill and the Overturning Heaven Palm had been just diversions. The real killer move was the sword in his hand! How could he have surprised the Ice Frost Giant Ape and only caused it a momentary pain?
With murderous intent solidified, and the might of the Bone Talisman subtly brimming, he struck with his sword!
Spurt, blood sprayed!
The Black Sword sliced open the chest of the Ice Frost Giant Ape. Zhou Heng plunged entirely into it but instantly flew out from its back, his expression solemn.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, attacks from Cha Sui and four others finally hit the Ice Frost Giant Ape, but these were now superfluous, as its heart had been pierced by the Black Sword, and it had lost all its vitality!
Only then did Cha Sui and the others realize what had happened, their eyes widening in astonishment as they stared at Zhou Heng.
Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou also ceased their fighting, shocked by the scene of the Ice Frost Giant Ape being slain in one blow!
The coldness in the valley was quickly dissipating, and the temperature was rising. However, the shock in everyone’s hearts was not so easily dismissed!
Slain in one blow, a Peak Moonlight Emperor!
Although there was an element of taking advantage, with the Ice Frost Giant Ape previously besieged by Cha Sui and four others, allowing Zhou Heng to take an easy advantage, his brilliance couldn’t be masked. How incredibly fast was his movement?
It was his speed that had forced the Ice Frost Giant Ape into a hard fight, leading to its straightforward elimination by three consecutive moves!
Fourteen Wheels Moon!
Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Heng had actually achieved Fourteen Wheels Moon, shocking them profoundly.
They were all from prominent families of Xiwu City, and even if Cha Sui was not, his two masters had even greater backgrounds. With such backgrounds, how could they be unaware of the mightiest beings in the Immortal Realm who possessed Fifteen Wheels, the ultimate bright moon count!
Such formidable individuals were said to emerge only once in millions of years. They heard that the most fiendish being was the Eternal Evil Venerate who once caused turmoil in Juexian City and was suppressed, having once possessed Thirteen Wheels Moon!
Who is the Eternal Evil Venerate?
Someone who dared to kill and create chaos in Juexian City! It caused an uproar back then, and even now, high-tier Immortal Cities are filled with legends of the Eternal Evil Venerate!
Yet, Zhou Heng now possesses Fourteen Wheels Moon, only one wheel less than the most powerful beings in the Immortal Realm, and even one more than the Eternal Evil Venerate! This means Zhou Heng possesses astonishing potential, and in the future, he might even reach or surpass the heights of the Eternal Evil Venerate!
Although each of them was a genius, Cha Sui, Zi Yingming, and Guo Yuhou had acquired Eight Wheels during the era of the Moonlight King and Moonlight Emperor, indicating their ability to breakthrough Realm barriers. Compared to Zhou Heng, however, they fell far short!
Facing a genius who surpassed themselves in potential, they would either be inspired with endless fighting spirit, fall into despair, or harbor malicious intentions, attempting to strangle the opponent in the cradle.
The temperature rose swiftly, and in just that short time, it had reached a bearable level for the Moonlight King, hence the Bone Talisman ceased its operation.
"Hahaha, this is mine!" Black Donkey rushed out, to collect the remains of the Ice Frost Giant Ape. Although the creature was too large to fully carry away, there was no way it was going to waste that fur.
Swish, a streak of cold light flashed, shooting rapidly toward Black Donkey.
Zhou Heng’s figure flickered, and he launched a fist enveloped in Golden Light, colliding with the cold light.
Thud!
A dull sound resonated, and Zhou Heng staggered back, a flicker of displeasure across his face.
The streak of cold light was a sword shadow, and the one who made the move was Zhang Yuting, the sole female among the five led by Guo Yuhou. She was also knocked back, her figure backed by three full moons, her expression cold.
Black Donkey was initially stunned, then burst into fury, exclaiming, "You pockmarked ugly freak, dare to sneak attack your Donkey Master? Are you blind? I am the Auspicious Omens of Heaven and Earth; striking me is disrespecting the heavens and the earth! Zhou, beat her to death for Donkey Master!"
Zhang Yuting’s pretty face turned utterly red; she had a naturally clean and fair complexion with only a small mole on her right cheek, but Black Donkey, with its malicious sight, not only noticed it but exaggerated it to be full of moles!
For a vain and proud woman, this was utterly humiliating!
"Despicable donkey, I will tear you into pieces!" she trembled with rage in her chest.
"They say beating is a sign of affection and scolding is love, wanting to tear me to pieces must mean you love me deeply! Alas, who could blame you for falling hopelessly in love at first sight with my handsome self! Sadly, I’m very particular, so I can only let you down despite your affections!" the despicable donkey spouted all sorts of nonsense.
"Die!" Unable to tolerate it any longer, Zhang Yuting leaped forward, her Sword Qi vibrant like a rainbow.
"Murdering your own husband!" Black Donkey ducked behind Zhou Heng, turning its back deviously and swinging its fat donkey rear-end back and forth toward Zhang Yuting, its skirt and tail swishing provocatively, annoying to the bone.
Zhou Heng swung the Black Sword to meet Zhang Yuting’s long sword, sparks flying. His right arm vibrated, and fourteen and a half Moon Wheels emitted light, forcing her back as he asked sternly, "Why do you strike to injure?"
Although Black Donkey was insufferably mouthy, it couldn’t be denied that Zhang Yuting had struck first.
"Fourteen Wheels is indeed commendable, but you are only a Moonlight Emperor now, what right do you have to be so arrogant?" Guo Yuhou leaped in front of Zhang Yuting with a look of disdain.
While Zhou Heng had broken the Realm barrier, Guo Yuhou had previously managed to do so too, though only with Eight Wheels Moon. Therefore, in Guo Yuhou’s view, Zhou Heng was merely a Moonlight Emperor, while he was a Moonlight Emperor!
What right did a Moonlight Emperor have to act proudly in front of a Moonlight Emperor?
"This Ice Frost Giant Ape is ours!" He declared confidently, his tone final.
"What?! That was clearly Zhou who killed it, are you blind, old man?" Black Donkey immediately jumped out from behind Zhou Heng; that fur from the Ice Frost Giant Ape was a treasure, it wouldn’t easily let anyone have it!
"Open your eyes and see, who inflicted more critical hits on this Demon Beast?" Guo Yuhou sneered.
—Indeed, it was Zhou Heng who had slain the Ice Frost Giant Ape, but thereafter, Zhang Yuting and the others also hit it consistently. With the precision of a Moonlight Emperor, how could they not hit critical spots?
Considering this, the Ice Frost Giant Ape had six critical wounds, but only two were inflicted by Zhou Heng and Cha Sui, while the other four were made by Zhang Yuting and her group.
If counting who inflicted more critical attacks, it was naturally Guo Yuhou’s side.
Enraged, Black Donkey, Zhou Heng, Zi Yingming, and Cha Sui all showed evident anger. The other side was clearly trying to cheat them.
The truth is, in this world, logic doesn’t always prevail; whoever has the bigger fist defines what is right!
"Old man, have you no shame?" Black Donkey erupted into a barrage of insults, displaying its first-rate cursing skills, "Which idiot didn’t tie up
his pants properly and let you out? Shameful! Utterly shameful!"
"Scoundrel Donkey!" Guo Yuhou, his face flushed red with insult, was not someone of his Realm who should be easily provoked, but who could restrain themselves in the face of such vile speech? He was a prodigy among the Guo family’s younger generation and had never encountered such lowly insults.
He fixed his glare on Black Donkey while saying, "You guys go fetch the Order." He was naturally referring to Zhu Xiaoran and the others.
This restriction required an Order to pass, but every hundred years, they needed the corresponding Demon Beast’s Order to open it first. If they managed to obtain the opening Order, they gained absolute initiative—they could choose not to open the fourth canyon’s restriction, blocking anyone from passing through.
"Brother Cha, Brother Zhou, the opening Order is up to you!" Zi Yingming glanced at Guo Yuhou, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit, "Young Master Hou, your opponent is me!" (To be continued.
