Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 67 - Establishing Authority

“But now, the tables should turn!”

“Although I don’t like Bi Hecheng’s character, as newcomers, they have to know their place, and this time I support Bi Hecheng!”

“Exactly, if we let the newcomers rise above us, would we not lose face completely!”

“Zhou Heng, I’ll make you regret this for your whole life!” Bi Hecheng charged, hands flailing, like two ink dragons twirling in the sky.

With a light tap of his foot, Zhou Heng’s figure bounced, more mysterious than a ghost.

Having mastered the “Swift Cloud Radiant Step”, he was practically peerless in movement techniques among his peers; without using a wide-range indiscriminate attack, who could even touch a hair on him?

“We have no vendetta, yet you aggressively push me, thinking I am but a docile man to be molded?” Zhou Heng spoke, his gaze sharp and icy.

He had intended to remain unassuming, but others did not grant him that opportunity.

Since that was the case, then he might as well show them exactly how daunting he was!

“Ha, stop with the harsh words, I’ll make you—ugh!” Bi Hecheng screamed as he took a heavy punch to the gut.

“So stubborn!” Zhou Heng scoffed, swinging his fists in succession.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

A series of heavy sounds followed, each punch sinking into flesh.

Bi Hecheng’s defense was utterly useless in front of Zhou Heng, resembling a punching bag destined to be struck.

This sight sent chills down everyone’s spine!

That was exceedingly brutal!

This court, known as “Galaxy Court”, housed those at the First Layer Heaven of Gathering Spirit.

Once promoted to the Second Layer Heaven of Gathering Spirit, they could move to Moon River Court with its entirely Second Layer disciples.

Sun River Court, meanwhile, was the world for those at the Third Layer Heaven of Gathering Spirit.

Certainly, not all members of Galaxy Court were at the First Layer Heaven, as there were some like Jing Tian in the Quasi Spirit Gathering Realm, and connections like Lin Fuxiang.

Though Bi Hecheng was not the top expert of Galaxy Court, watching Zhou Heng pummel him as if hitting a sandbag, the ease of it looked as if someone from the Second Layer Heaven was bullying Bi Hecheng, indicating a total mismatch in battle power.

Meaning, even if Jin Tong, the top expert of Galaxy Court, were to fight, the result would be the same—he simply wasn’t a match for Zhou Heng!

Damn, what kind of monster has shown up, reaching these insane extremes!

At this moment, everyone was silently relieved that it wasn’t them who Zhou Heng was hitting; otherwise, they would be the ones treated like punching bags!

“Well fought, well punched, a punch from the right followed by one from the left, you tight-fisted fellow, don’t lose face for the Nine Spirit Sect!” At this time, only Lin Fuxiang could cheer happily, continuously supporting from the sideline.

Jing Tian was voraciously eager, his gaze not even fixated on Bi Hecheng but rather intensely on Zhou Heng, as if in his eyes, Bi Hecheng was unworthy of note, and only Zhou Heng could ignite his fighting spirit.

Snap!

Bi Hecheng didn’t realize how many punches he took until Zhou Heng stopped, leaving him collapsed on the ground, completely unconscious.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it had finally ended.

Although it wasn’t their bodies taking the beating, as “veterans” of Galaxy Court, being overshadowed by a newcomer was naturally distasteful.

But Zhou Heng didn’t leave; instead, he walked up to Bi Hecheng.

What is this kid planning to do?

Zhou Heng’s gaze swept around; whether far or near, everyone felt the discomfort of a sword piercing their hearts: “I don’t like trouble, but I’m never afraid of it!

For a small favor, I will repay with great generosity, but those who provoke me will pay back double!”

“This man wanted to break my arms, so I’ll break his limbs!”

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Zhou Heng had forcibly snapped Bi Hecheng’s left arm.

“Ah—” This jolted Bi Hecheng awake in pain, tears streaming down his face, but he was too injured to retaliate, only able to glare at Zhou Heng with eyes full of hatred.

Crack!

Another crisp snap sounded, and Bi Hecheng’s right arm was also trampled and broken.

“Zhou Heng, you’ve gone too far!” Finally, someone couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped out; the humiliation was Bi Hecheng’s, but the disgrace was that of the entire Galaxy Court’s “elders.” “Give me some face, and let’s just leave it at that!”

Crack!

Crack!

Two consecutive crisp sounds rang out as Zhou Heng cleanly and neatly trampled and broke both of Bi Hecheng’s legs, causing Bi Hecheng to faint again from the pain.

Only then did he leisurely look at the person who had spoken out and coldly said, “Why should I give you face?

What are you?”

Why should I give face?

When Bi Hecheng initially bullied the newcomer as an “elder,” no one came out to mediate.

What now?

Are only you allowed to bully others, and others can’t fight back?

How absurd!

Zhou Heng had already decided to make a high-profile statement, naturally showing no mercy.

With a movement, he instantly appeared in front of that person like a phantom.

The Swift Cloud Radiant Step truly lived up to its name.

Under the maximum hundredfold speed increase, even those in the Initial Separation Realm might not be able to compete with Zhou Heng in terms of speed!

Bang!

Zhou Heng delivered a soaring cannon punch, heavily striking that person’s chin and sending him flying into the air.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

By the time the person landed, Zhou Heng grabbed his collar, swung his right hand continuously, and rewarded the person with more than a dozen slaps, swelling his head like a pig’s, before casually tossing him aside.

He scanned the area again and said, “Is there anyone else with a loose tongue?”

Utter silence fell, as everyone was subdued by Zhou Heng’s dominating presence.

Bi Hecheng and that fellow who hadn’t even given his name lay as examples on the ground.

Who else would dare to step forward?

This was merely a conflict of spirit; there was no practical benefit to getting involved, so everyone chose to remain silent.

“Let’s go!” Zhou Heng turned back to speak to Lin Fuxiang and Jing Tian, a calm smile appearing on his face.

“You cheeky boy, you were really cool just now!” Lin Fuxiang’s eyes shone.

In a world that revered strength, everyone admired the strong, especially a young girl in the throes of spring like her.

“I’ve always been cool, okay?” Zhou Heng didn’t mind joking when around familiar people.

“Shameless!” Lin Fuxiang snorted.

The three of them headed back to their quarters, and Lin Fuxiang insisted on joining him for a meal, while Jing Tian seized the time to cultivate, eager to break through the Spirit Gathering Realm as soon as possible.

Soon, news that Bi Hecheng and another had failed to establish authority and were instead beaten up by the newcomer spread to the Moon River Court and Sun River Court, causing some who had just advanced to Moon River Court to feel quite displeased, thinking that if they had still been at Galaxy Court, Zhou Heng would not have had the chance to act so arrogantly.

“Zhou Heng?”

“That kid who broke into the Spirit Gathering Realm at eighteen has already come to this hall?”

“Heh, not bad, not worse than me back then.

I really want to have a match with him!

Unfortunately, I’m now in the Third Layer of Spirit Gathering, and wouldn’t that be bullying the younger?”

“That kid’s advancement speed can be ranked in the top ten among the younger generation, but I wonder about his talent.

If he has less than a Five Star Human Spirit Body, then he will soon fade into obscurity, and isn’t even worth considering as my opponent!”

“The test for the Spiritual Body is tomorrow; then we’ll see whether he’s a dragon or a worm!”

With the news spreading, undercurrents stirred within the three courts.

Everyone eagerly anticipated the results of Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Body test.

“Spiritual Body test?” Zhou Heng looked at Niu Li, wondering what this new development was about.

“Yes, every disciple from Galaxy Court has to take the Spiritual Body test.

This is crucial for determining how the sect will cultivate you in the future!” Niu Li said somewhat enviously.

The Spiritual Body is innate and cannot be altered with effort later on.

In Cold Blue Country, there were only about ten thousand Spiritual Bodies, and among the younger generation of Black Water Hall, there were roughly ten, who were also the main cultivation targets of the sect, with future chances to become experts in the Initial Separation Realm, or even reaching higher realms.

Zhou Heng, Jing Tian, and Lin Fuxiang followed Niu Li as they left Galaxy Court and arrived at a very grand hall, then entered a small room that contained only a low table, on which rested a Spirit Crystal Pillar, and behind the table sat a skinny, lifeless old man, looking as if he was close to death.

“Greetings, Elder Zhao Hui!” Niu Li immediately bowed respectfully, his expression extremely solemn.

An elder?

Only those in the Initial Separation Realm could serve as elders!

Hard to believe, this emaciated, lifeless old man was actually a super-strong expert in the Initial Separation Realm!

“Greetings, Elder Zhao Hui!” Zhou Heng and the others followed suit, also bowing respectfully.

“Never mind that,” the skinny old man waved his hand, and an overwhelming, irresistible force immediately lifted the four of them, “Place your identity order on the table, then touch the Spirit Crystal Pillar.

Don’t force it; just remain natural!”

“The girl can go first.

I hear you’re the granddaughter of that old fellow Lin Zixiu, so you’re a descendant of an old acquaintance.

My surname is Wang, just call me Grandpa Wang.”

“Yes, Grandpa Wang!” Lin Fuxiang obediently said.

Having an Initial Separation expert as support was always good, she kneeled at the table and pressed her right hand onto the crystal pillar.

No response.

“Don’t be disheartened, you haven’t reached the Spirit-Receiving Realm yet, so it’s normal not to stir the Bloodline Power!” Wang Chaohui consoled her as she pouted, showing a gentle and serene smile.

“Okay!” Lin Fuxiang agreed, though her face still looked unhappy.

“You’re Jing Tian, right?

I heard you can already stir your Bloodline Power, which is quite rare!” Wang Chaohui looked at Jing Tian.

“Give it a try!”
