Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 616 - 593 Wild Boy (1/4)

Zhou Heng held the Black Sword in his right hand and the Fire Divine Furnace in his left, a rather peculiar sight.

"Come at me!" his fighting spirit soared high.

"Arrogant!" Zhu Xiaoran and the three others shouted in unison, leaping towards Zhou Heng with murderous intent.

Zhou Heng let out a long howl as the Fourteen Wheels Moon circulated. He fearlessly met their charge, initiating the attack himself with the Swift Cloud Radiant Step.

"Such quick movement!"

Although Zhu Xiaoran and his comrades had previously witnessed the swift slaying of the Ice Frost Giant Ape by Zhou Heng, it was only when they themselves became the targets that they truly realized how terrifying his movement technique was!

Zhou Heng had moved in close behind Zhu Xiaoran in an instant, stabbing fiercely with the Black Sword, its black Sword Qi flashing a gloomily dark light.

Zhu Xiaoran roared, managing only to turn around and punch in haste.

Bang!

The punch hit the Broken Blade of the Black Sword. Normally, the dull edge of the Broken Blade wouldn’t pose much of a threat with Zhu Xiaoran’s body-protective Spiritual Power. But things didn’t follow the norm when it came to the Black Sword.

A spray of blood followed as the punch left a gaping hole in Zhu Xiaoran’s fist, but fortunately, this helped him block the momentum of the Black Sword, preventing a fatal strike.

Zhou Heng grinned, lifting the Fire Divine Furnace with his left hand and smashing it towards Zhu Xiaoran’s head.

"Ah—" A scream rang out as Zhu Xiaoran rapidly retreated, holding his head with his left hand and dripping blood from his right.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Zhang Yuting and the other two finally reacted, rushing to Zhu Xiaoran’s defense. Although their friendship wasn’t deep, they had formed an alliance for a common goal and naturally stuck together through thick and thin.

A lump soon swelled on Zhu Xiaoran’s forehead, growing bigger than his own head!

Zhang Yuting and the others wanted to laugh but couldn’t summon even a smirk!

At their level, flesh wounds were mere trifles that their mind could heal instantly. But despite Zhu Xiaoran circulating his Spiritual Power, the swelling on his forehead not only didn’t shrink but grew larger!

This was happening either because Zhou Heng’s Cultivation Level surpassed Zhu Xiaoran’s and the Exotic Spiritual Power left within the wound couldn’t be expelled, preventing the injury from healing, or because the Fire Divine Furnace that Zhou Heng wielded was of such a high Rank that it wreaked havoc even without its Artifact Spirit activated.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts me to death!" Meanwhile, the Fire Divine Furnace complained to Zhou Heng, "You brat, I’m practically a pile of old bones! I can’t withstand you tossing me around like this. Nope, nope, you need to feed me more Exotic Fire, or at least some high-grade fire!"

Lazy and greedy, just like the Black Donkey!

The Fire Divine Furnace was incredibly sturdy; even a corner Rune could not damage it, much less a smash in the face of a Moonlight Emperor.

"Attack!" Zhang Yuting and the other two coordinated seamlessly, simultaneously unleashing sword lights, punches, and kicks towards Zhou Heng. Fearing his speed, they no longer dared to divide their forces.

Zhou Heng continued to use the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, maneuvering smoothly under their attacks while the trio, now wiser, protected each other, making it hard for Zhou Heng to find an opportunity to strike. The battle quickly reached a stalemate.

Zhu Xiaoran was in a dire state.

His fist had been slashed by the Black Sword, whose Sword Qi possessed an immensely destructive power, making it impossible for the wound to heal, causing continuous bleeding! If this were to continue, he might become the first Moonlight Emperor to bleed to death!

After steeling his resolve, he tragically cut off his own right hand with a mighty chop to stop the bleeding!

"Ah—" He screamed again, but losing his right hand was the least of his problems—it was the simplest to regenerate. The critical issue was that his Essence Blood was also flowing away with that hand!

This significantly impacted his Cultivation Level, reducing his battle power by at least a Half-Wheel Moon!

As for the swelling on his head... Zhu Xiaoran dared not try cutting off his own head; that involved the Sea of Consciousness, and remolding his head would come at too great a cost. So, he chose to bear the gigantic swelling!

All this misery was caused by Zhou Heng!

Fueled by a surge of killing intent, Zhu Xiaoran regenerated his right hand and immediately rejoined the fray, fiercely determined to take Zhou Heng down!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both sides were engaged in fierce combat. Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou’s battle had reached a feverish pitch, while Zhou Heng was heavily involved in fighting Zhu Xiaoran and the others. This left Cha Sui with nothing to do but check if the Black Donkey had found the Order Rune.

Zhang Yuting and the others didn’t hate Zhou Heng as much as Zhu Xiaoran did. Their primary objective was still to seize the Order Rune, not to entangle with Zhou Heng unnecessarily. However, Zhou Heng’s movement was so fast they couldn’t breach his defenses.

This frustrated them deeply. Though possession of the Order Rune by someone else didn’t mean the loss of the Moonlight Lotus, they still lost the initiative.

"Quite lively, eh? I’ll join in the fun!" Just then, a young man’s figure flashed by, stern-faced and appearing to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, his entire being exuding a wild, murderous aura.

Without any discussion, he joined the battle between Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou, not siding with anybody but attacking both, turning the duel into a chaotic three-way battle.

Zhou Heng effortlessly noticed that the boy was the same one he had seen at the first valley. Even if he couldn’t remember his face, the unmistakable aura of slaughter and wildness was unforgettable after just one encounter.

The boy, fierce as a lone wolf, struck with unbelievable speed, and his punches forced Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou to be on constant defense.

It was originally a three-way battle, with Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou attacking each other while fending off the boy. However, the boy was so strong that they completely lost the ability to attack each other and could only block.

Zhu Xiaoran and the others were horrified.

Although they were all distinguished young elites of the Moonlight Realm from Xiwu City, highly mature, they weren’t arrogant enough to believe themselves invincible within their realm. They all acknowledged that Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou were the strongest, standing a notch above the rest.

Yet now, their perception was completely shattered. The boy was only a Four Wheels Moonlight Emperor, but he completely dominated Zi Yingming and Guo Yuhou, showing overwhelming strength!

Who was this boy, and how had such a monster suddenly appeared?

The once-in-thirty-thousand-years Moonlight Lotus truly lured many geniuses—Zhou Heng of the Fourteen Wheels Moon and now this boy with a murderous and wild air!

Zhou Heng ceased fighting and stood by, losing all interest in clashing with Zhu Xiaoran and the others; they weren’t worth it!

He looked at the boy, his combat spirit boiling and soaring.

The boy’s ability to dominate Zi Yingming wasn’t just because he was faster, fiercer, and more cunning. Another major reason was his tangible aura of slaughter.

The lineage of the Great Eternal Emperor’s Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon suppressed opponents’ morale. In an equal-rank battle, those with weaker willpower could see their strength halved! The boy’s aura of slaughter had a similar effect, also suppressing others’ battle power.

Martial King!

However, this boy was the Slaughter King!

"I’ve found the Order!" Black Donkey came running back, gleefully bragging, "I’m so brilliant! It indeed takes me to sort things out, hahahaha!"

Zhou Heng could no longer restrain his eagerness to battle, saying, "Brother Cha, could you please look after this donkey for me?"

Without waiting for Cha Sui to respond, he soared into the air, withdrawing Black Sword into his body, and charged into the fray involving Zi Yingming and the others with his fists aimed at the wild boy.

"Damn, this guy really loves a fight!" muttered Cha Sui, who had absolutely no interest in joining such a chaotic battle.

"Hand over the Order!" demanded Zhu Xiaoran and his group, eyeing Black Donkey. Now was not the time to get entangled with Zhou Heng. The Order was the priority.

Cha Sui crossed his arms before Black Donkey and declared, "If you want the Order, you’ll have to get past me first!"

Zhu Xiaoran and his group grew furious. How many arrogant people were there today? First Zhou Heng, now another, each wanting to take on four at once! They rushed forward, attacking Cha Sui, and battle resumed.

The wild boy counterpunched Zhou Heng, his fist radiating a dark, ghostly light filled with murderous intent, intimidating to behold.

Zhou Heng’s combat spirit ignited, his fists raising a sky of golden Divine Radiance.

Boom!

Their fists collided. Zhou Heng grunted, retreating dozens of yards, a faint trace of blood visible at the corner of his mouth, while the wild boy merely shook slightly, baring a bloodthirsty smile.

In this strike, Zhou Heng clearly was at a slight disadvantage!

"Three aren’t enough for me!" The wild boy stared at Zhou Heng for a bit, a hint of appreciation on his face, "You’re pretty good. As just a Moonlight Sovereign, you almost matched me in combat! I’ll spare your life. In a hundred years, I will challenge you, and if you’re still no match, I won’t show mercy again!"

The person was truly conceited; most would want to crush a rival in their growth stage, but he didn’t care, demonstrating supreme confidence.

Zhou Heng wiped the bloodstain, smiling, "Thanks so much! Here’s a plum in return for your peach; I’ll spare you from death three times!"

"Hahahaha!" The wild boy burst out laughing, temporarily pausing his attack.

"What should I call you?" Guo Yuhou asked solemnly, unable to hide his shock.

Where had this strong young man come from, overpowering both him and Zi Yingming together?

"You’re not worthy of knowing my name!" The wild boy dismissed Guo Yuhou with a glance, but after looking over Zhou Heng, he said, "You deserve to know my name—I am Zhong Gufeng!"

Guo Yuhou was nearly livid. He was a standout among the Guo family’s younger generation, the strongest Moonlight Emperor, and in all of Xiwu City, only Zi Yingming could compete with him!

Yet now, he and Zi Yingming combined were no match for this wild boy—how could he not be shocked?

If this boy had been a Sunshine King, it might have been a different story, but he was clearly a Four Wheels Moonlight Emperor like them, yet he could completely suppress their power—what kind of anomaly was this?

It was as if this boy was born to fight! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
