Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 667 - 644: Great Delight (3/3)
Chapter 667: Chapter 644: Great Delight (3/3)
After the Silver Dragon Fish were cooked, Zhou Heng only ate two to taste, and the rest were divided up by Black Donkey and Xiulan.
"Hey, take it easy. The essence in these Silver Dragon Fish is too powerful. Be careful not to explode!" Zhou Heng warned, seeing that both the donkey and the person were turning purple in the face, each breath they exhaled shimmering with divine light.
"It’s rare to get something good! I want to eat my fill, and even if it bursts my stomach, I don’t care!" Black Donkey said with a pained expression.
He was already at his limit, another bite and blood would surely spray from his nose!
"No one’s competing with you. Go digest the essence of the fish meat on the side first. There’s plenty of fish here; we can catch more later!" Zhou said, genuinely worried that Black Donkey would eat himself to death.
"Keep your word..." Black Donkey was already slurring his words.
"Get lost!" Zhou Heng said as he kicked out, causing Black Donkey to roll on the ground and then sit up in a human-dog style to regulate his breathing.
Xiulan shook her head quickly when she saw Zhou Heng’s gaze shift her way, saying, "Miss here hates cultivation, you better not force me to train, or I’ll never let you off the hook!"
Zhou Heng sighed. Her sister might possibly be the Sublimation King, and theoretically, their talents should be similar, but Xiulan was only at the Moonlight King’s cultivation level. The gap was so big because she was simply too lazy!
Great talent is just the foundation; without effort poured into it, it’s just a waste of talent!
Xiulan was a prime negative example of this!
Although Zhou Heng disliked forcing others, he absolutely could not stand idly by and watch the bountiful Silver Dragon Fish go to waste! He pressed his palm on top of Xiulan’s head, saying, "Do your cultivation properly now!"
"Jerk, you’re not even my brother-in-law yet, and you’re already bossing me around! Ugh, the only reason I wanted a brother-in-law was so I wouldn’t have to deal with my sister managing me. You traitor, I don’t want you to be my brother-in-law anymore!" Xiulan screamed loudly.
However, no matter how much she resisted, she couldn’t withstand Zhou Heng’s power. He activated the spiritual power in her body, making her practice reluctantly, helping her digest the vast energy within her.
Seeing her reluctant face, the people around them wanted to cry!
How they wished they were the ones being forced! If you don’t want this opportunity, give it to me, please!
It’s so infuriating to compare oneself to others!
With Zhou Heng’s assistance, after a day and a night, Xiulan was the first to finish, and half a day later, Black Donkey also jumped up, five full moons rotating behind him—adding one more Moon Wheel with each feast!
The Silver Dragon Fish certainly weren’t that powerful; it was the Heaven-Earth Fruit’s power slightly stirred up again.
"Wahaha, Zhou, in a few more days, I’ll be at the same level as a Sunshine King, and then I’ll break through to the Sunshine Sovereign before you. Then you’ll have no choice but to kneel before me and worship me!" Black Donkey laughed madly, forgetting himself.
Zhou Heng just chuckled, saying somewhat wistfully, "I haven’t eaten donkey meat yet!"
This comment made Black Donkey back off.
Since this place was a treasure trove, Zhou Heng and the others did not leave, repeatedly luring with dragon blood to catch dozens, even hundreds of Silver Dragon Fish, and then enjoyed a great feast. Though these Silver Dragon Fish saw their companions continuously "disappearing," making them wary, alertness was no match for their innate craving for dragon blood, causing them to be tricked again after a while.
The two people and one donkey were engaged in a routine: catch Silver Dragon Fish, eat Silver Dragon Fish, then refine, continuously repeating the process.
Among them, Black Donkey made the fastest progress, adding a Moon Wheel almost every time it ate the fish, complimented by the work of the Heaven-Earth Fruit. Xiulan was next; roughly every four or five times, she would gain a new Moon Wheel.
Whereas Zhou Heng, since he had already stepped into the Sunshine King Realm and was even a breakthrough at the limit, found it especially hard to add another Sun Wheel. However, these Silver Dragon Fish were not in vain as their potency accumulated in his body, ready to explode upon reaching a critical threshold.
But as Zhou Heng fished relentlessly, by the end of ten days, only about three or four out of ten Silver Dragon Fish remained in the lake, the majority ending up in their stomachs.
Black Donkey’s strength had visibly improved, reaching the height of Eight Wheels Moon. Its original form was just an ordinary donkey with no exceptional roots, and Eight Wheels was its limit; it could now try for the Sunshine King.
However, after so many days, a new force finally arrived, delighted to discover the Silver Dragon Fish in the lake, promptly joining the fishing frenzy.
However, without dragon blood, how could they hope to catch the elusive Silver Dragon Fish? These newcomers, unaware of Zhou Heng’s capabilities and seeing him effortlessly catch dozens, were naturally envious.
A young man flew in, not uttering a word, and positioned himself in front of Zhou Heng, stretching his arms towards the lake. With a swarm of Silver Dragon Fish before him, he was sure of a big catch!
He completely ignored Zhou Heng!
Zhou Heng sighed inwardly; why must some people always beg for a beating?
He reached out and grabbed the man by the neck, then flung him casually, sending him flying through the air and crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"How dare you!" A middle-aged man flew in immediately, his aura formidable and his gaze sweeping over the dragon scale in Zhou Heng’s hand, greed apparent in his eyes, "Young man, why do you attack others so casually?"
"Attack others? What are you talking about!" Black Donkey leapt up, already at the perfected Moonlight Emperor level and itching for a fight, "Where are your eyes looking, kid? He was clearly trying to steal our fish. Throwing him out was being lenient! If it were up to me, I’d cripple him and make him ask for mercy."
The damn donkey was talking street-smart.
"Is a person of the Ma Family so easy to bully?" ignoring Black Donkey’s rant, the middle-aged man kept his eyes on Zhou Heng, "If you don’t want trouble, just put down the scale and we’ll consider the matter settled."
"Clan Uncle Qianying, how can we just let this go? I’m not convinced!" said the young man who had been flung away by Zhou Heng as he flew back. He was a Moonlight Emperor, and for his age, his Cultivation Level was not low; his talent could also be considered superior.
The middle-aged man named Ma Qianying nodded and said, "Kid, you should sever one of your arms again!"
He stood with his hands behind his back, his face filled with pride, commanding from high above like an Emperor.
The people from the few families that had been there for a while all sneered, showing strange expressions.
—Just over a dozen days ago, a Dharma Aspect of a Sublimation King had been slaughtered by Zhou Heng! And at that time, Zhou Heng was still a Moonlight Emperor!
This was a young Supreme, and in this special environment, there were only a few like One Sword Breaks the Heavens, Cold Frost Young Master who could contend! Or perhaps those Big Shots who were also monstrous beyond compare back in their Sunshine King Realm days.
This Ma Qianying was also somewhat famous as a Sunshine Emperor, but when it came to a talent comparable to that of One Sword Breaks the Heavens and others, he fell far short!
He dared to be so arrogant simply because he was a Sunshine Emperor; although his Cultivation Level was suppressed here, he was still at the peak level of a Sunshine King, and even the Creation Emperor’s personal arrival wouldn’t frighten him, right?
Unfortunately, he was destined to kick an iron plate!
The crowd smirked coldly, but no one wanted to give him a heads-up; they had no close ties with him.
Zhou Heng’s expression grew colder. These two people from the Ma Family came to steal the fish without a word, and one of them even unreasonably demanded him to hand over the dragon scale and sever an arm — truly arrogant and domineering!
He had already shown mercy just now, but certain things can only be tolerated once — did they really think he was good-tempered?
"If you don’t want to live, then come at me; I’ll blow you all up!" Zhou Heng said calmly.
"Young people nowadays really don’t know when to advance or retreat!" Ma Qianying sneered and walked towards Zhou Heng. He actually found it strange in his heart; clearly, there were so many people around, so why did they all just watch Zhou Heng capturing the Silver Dragon Fish?
But he was more confident in himself; here, he was a Peak Sunshine King, and no matter how strong the others were, he didn’t need to fear anyone, right?
"Since you’re forcing me to make a move, you are left with nothing but the road to death!" Ma Qianying reached out with one hand, transforming it into a huge blood-colored saber, slashing it down towards Zhou Heng.
That scale was definitely a Treasure, and it must not fall into the hands of anyone else!
So he intended to kill Zhou Heng in one strike, not giving anyone else a chance to compete for the Treasure!
The crowd watched with cold eyes, as if they were watching a clown performing zealously.
"Whoosh," the blood-colored saber slashed down!
Zhou Heng’s right fist tightened, and he struck!
"Boom!"
His fist hit the blood-colored saber, and the blade made of Spiritual Power immediately shattered into millions of pieces. Several fragments rebounded onto Ma Qianying’s face, embedding there deeply and causing blood to spurt out immediately.
So strong!
The crowd had known of Zhou Heng’s strength, but witnessing this scene still inevitably raised a strong shock within them. A Nine Wheels Sun indeed held the power to crush a Peak Sunshine King!
Poor Ma Qianying, although a Sunshine Emperor, had both his strength and his physical defenses suppressed here, falling to the peak of a Sunshine King. Otherwise, how could those rebounding blade shards have injured him?
"Kid!" Ma Qianying’s gaze sharpened as he finally realized Zhou Heng’s formidable strength, a monstrousness that surpassed even a Peak Sunshine King!
No wonder the others weren’t fighting or scrambling; they weren’t foolish, but they had already known Zhou Heng’s strength!
What a rip-off!
These guys didn’t even give him a heads-up!
Ma Qianying was both angry and shocked; honestly, as a Sunshine Emperor, he still hadn’t taken Zhou Heng seriously, able to suppress him easily with a casual palm strike on the outside! But the situation here was special; this was the world of the Supreme Sunshine Kings, and everyone had to abide by that iron rule!
"I concede!" Ma Qianying said very straightforwardly. It was unwise to clash with Zhou Heng here. As long as he left this place, he could handle Zhou Heng however he wanted!
After saying this, he and his tribe member prepared to leave.
Zhou Heng flashed in front of them, blocking their path.
"Kid, don’t go too far!" Ma Qianying said with a suppressed rage.
His invincibility outside was useless here. He wasn’t the one calling the shots in this place! Moreover, as a Sunshine Emperor not qualified to form a Dharma Aspect, getting killed here... that would really mean death!
How unjust it would be for a grand Sunshine Emperor to die at the hands of a Sunshine King! (To be continued.
