Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 619 - 596 The Ladies’ request (4/4)
Chapter 619: Chapter 596 The Ladies’ request (4/4)
Zhou Heng had encountered plenty of unruly and conceited young masters before, but these three brothers were probably the first ever to blatantly ask him to strip.
Even as his murderous intent flared, he found it strange, for these three were Moonlight Emperors. Supposedly, only "young talents" should be able to enter the Starwind Trial. How could they be so lecherous?
Moreover, even Situ Ling, from the strongest family in Wild Horse City, was merely a Moonlight Sovereign. This suggested that it was highly difficult for Xihai City to develop a Moonlight Emperor under twelve thousand years old—the Moonlight Emperors who entered were likely sent from high-tier Immortal Cities.
Previously, no family involved in the trials would do such a thing, but this time, since it involved the Moonlight Lotus, it was not unusual for families of the Sunshine Realm to join the competition.
These three men were almost certainly from a high-tier Immortal City.
But, what of it!
Zhou Heng’s heart boiled with killing intent. Whether these men were geniuses or fools, since they had spoken such vile words toward the women, they had sealed their own fate!
Death!
"Hey, kid, you still want to fight with us?"
"Hahaha, big brother, let me teach this guy a lesson so he’ll start obeying!"
"Second brother, make sure to go easy. Don’t kill him—this guy is still useful!"
"Got it, got it!"
The second brother of the trio stepped forward, placing one hand behind his back and stretching out the other, transforming his fist into a palm, then extended a finger to taunt Zhou Heng, clearly showing utmost disdain.
Whoosh, a flash of black light!
Zhou Heng suddenly appeared behind the man, his right hand gripping the Black Sword. The Broken Blade was unstained by blood, yet a patch of blood appeared on the back of the young man, rapidly spreading and soaking his entire back.
"Second Brother!"
"Second Brother!"
The other two young men screamed. The second brother collapsed violently, not a trace of life in him.
Pierced by the Black Sword in a vital spot, dead on the spot!
The eldest and the youngest turned to look at Zhou Heng with fury on their faces, but also unmistakable fear.
The second brother’s death was rather wrongful; he hadn’t even managed to make a move! The opponent’s speed was simply too fast, and the second brother had been careless because the opponent was a Moonlight Sovereign, resulting in his immediate death by the sword!
But the second brother was a Three Wheels Moonlight Emperor; to be killed in one hit indicated that the Broken Blade must be a high-tier Immortal Artifact, terrifyingly powerful even in its damaged state!
This speed, this deadly strike with a damaged Immortal Artifact!
Both men dared not be careless, releasing their Spiritual Power to form protective shields around their bodies, assuming that even if the Broken Blade was sharp, Zhou Heng, being merely a Moonlight Sovereign, would not have enough power to breach their defenses!
Having secured their own defense, what could a mere Moonlight Sovereign do to turn the tables?
"You little bastard, I will crush you into ten thousand pieces and make you regret even after death!" said the eldest, his expression furious to the extreme.
It was difficult for Immortals to have children, yet these three brothers were triplets, a true miracle in the Immortal Realm. They shared a deep bond, growing up cultivating together, getting into trouble, drinking, and womanizing together.
Their lechery also had its reasons, as they had fortuitously acquired a Cultivation Technique called the Fierce Fire Technique. This technique harnessed yang energy and advanced cultivation rapidly, but it also accumulated a lot of fire energy that needed to be vented through women.
Over time, they had become such that they reacted upon seeing beautiful women, no longer just to release the accumulated fire energy from cultivating the Fierce Fire Technique.
The eldest and the youngest both activated their technique, morphing into beings of fire. Flames blazed fiercely, turning the surrounding rocks and soil red, melting into flowing magma.
"Die!" both shouted, charging toward Zhou Heng.
"Fire Divine Furnace, today let’s have a good feast!" Zhou Heng spoke through his Divine Sense, waving his left hand to summon the Fire Divine Furnace, pressing it to the ground.
"I like this!" The Fire Divine Furnace didn’t even need to be energized; the lid lifted by itself, whoosh whoosh whoosh, it inhaled fiercely, sucking all the flames into itself, instantly cooling the surrounding temperature.
"Treasure, treasure!" Black Donkey immediately lit up, fixating its gaze on the Fire Divine Furnace.
"Fire!" The eldest and the youngest desperately stimulated the flames, but the fire they released could not match the absorption speed of the Fire Divine Furnace. Not only were the flames around them completely absorbed, but the two men also reverted from their fiery forms back to their original appearances.
"Fire!"
"Fire!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Ding ding ding ding!
Amid a series of crisp sounds, Zhou Heng burst forth from the Six Wheels Full Moon, his figure turning sharply in mid-air as he rushed towards the eldest and the third brother.
"What!"
Both exclaimed in shock, the Moon Wheel being a part of their bodies; they distinctly felt their Three Wheels Moon had suffered various degrees of damage, and Zhou Heng had brutally fought his way out from the Six Wheels Moon!
How was that possible!
The sturdiness of the Moon Wheel was comparable to Immortal Artifacts of the same realm, how could it be damaged so easily?
But now there was no time for them to be surprised, as Zhou Heng had already charged at them!
"Go!" The two joined forces, the Six Wheels Full Moon spinning again.
Zhou Heng’s momentum erupted, the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon fully activated, with no outsiders present, he wasn’t worried about revealing his identity!
The eldest and the third suddenly felt their hearts tighten, their will to fight plummeting, managing to exert only two or three tenths of their battle power at most!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two barely managed to parry, but Zhou Heng’s Fourteen Wheels Moon already surpassed the power of a Three Wheels Moonlight Emperor, slightly less than a Four Wheels Moonlight Emperor, they could at best block Zhou for a hundred moves, let alone now when their battle power had drastically fallen?
After just ten moves, both emitted a scream, collapsing to the ground one after another, blood seeping from beneath them, spreading across the ground.
Zhou Heng sheathed his sword; he did not yet know the identities of these three men, but that did not weigh on his mind. He had killed them, and he was prepared for any repercussions from the forces behind these three men in the future.
"Treasure!" The Black Donkey had been eying the Fire Divine Furnace the whole time; seeing the battle end, it immediately dashed forward, scooping up the Fire Divine Furnace in its front hooves and even rubbing its chin on the furnace, a look of bliss on its face.
"Donkey Master really is an auspicious omen of Heaven and Earth, just walking around and stumbling upon a treasure, how embarrassing this is!" it cheekily said.
"Donkey, I advise you to let go!" Zhou Heng strode over.
"Zhou, are you trying to rob me of my stuff?" the Black Donkey retorted warily, hiding the Fire Divine Furnace behind itself. "Donkey Lady ah—" It suddenly let out a scream, hastily throwing the Fire Divine Furnace aside as if it were a hot potato.
This was indeed hot!
The Fire Divine Furnace glowed red, and one could vaguely see the flames boiling inside.
"Treasure—" The Black Donkey hurried over again, circling around the flaming Fire Divine Furnace, yet it dared not reach out its hooves to touch it again.
Having the treasure right in front of it, yet unable to claim it for itself, this cheeky donkey was truly frustrated.
"Donkey, you really are a backstabber!" Zhou Heng sighed; this cheeky donkey was truly shameless.
"Do not slander me; this Divine Furnace laying on the ground is ownerless, how could I possibly pass by without picking it up? As the old saying goes, ’what Heaven provides, not to take is to incur misfortune.’ I am acting in accord with Heaven!" the Black Donkey rebutted with twisted logic.
"Then take it!" Zhou Heng laughed.
"Pah, do you think I’m a fool?" the Black Donkey glared at Zhou, then shamelessly added, "How about, you put out the fire?"
"You really are shameless, aren’t you?" Zhou Heng sighed.
"What’s a face? With treasures at hand, who needs a face?" the Black Donkey declared, raising its head.
"Scram!"
Zhou Heng picked up the Fire Divine Furnace, told the women a quick word, then sat down to the side to start meditating.
With the Ice Frost Giant Ape killed earlier, the Black Sword had already absorbed four strands of Life Essence Qi, so he was not in a hurry to press on, but needed to refine the Life Essence Qi absorbed by the Black Sword.
He was cultivating on the side while the women gathered around Huo Tian. As for the Black Donkey, having just missed out on a treasure, it was listlessly watching the moon, feigning deep thoughts with a sigh.
"Sister Huo Tian, can you increase our cultivation speed?" the women asked Huo Tian.
"Why?" Huo Tian countered, "Isn’t the junior brother there to protect you?"
"I want to share worries and solve problems for my husband!"
"Right, I don’t want to become his burden!"
"We are husband and wife, in times of danger we should stand together!"
The women bubbled with various comments, all springing from the same root, except Feng Lianqing, who said, "I want to become the most powerful person, then all the delicious things will be mine alone!"
"Foodie!" the women all chuckled; this girl, like Zhou’s disciple, had only food on her mind.
"Your talents and insight are not exceptional; catching up to his pace will be a harsh journey!" Huo Tian paused before speaking.
"We are not afraid of hardships!" the women said in unison.
"How harsh?" After a brief calm, Lin Fuxiang asked softly while fiddling with her fingers.
"Very harsh!" Huo Tian stated solemnly.
The women looked at each other and said, "Sister Huo Tian, please help us!"
Huo Tian’s expression remained cold and unfluctuating; she nodded and said, "You wish to quickly advance in strength within a short period, but with your current physiques, it’s impossible. I will first improve your physiques for you!" (To be continued.
