Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 684 - 661: Battle Wu Qi (2/3)
Chapter 684: Chapter 661: Battle Wu Qi (2/3)
The Feather Tribe beauty was sweating profusely, seized by an indescribable sense of dread!
She was merely a Seven-Wheel Sunshine King, but her companion was an Eight-Wheel Sunshine King, a difference of one Sun Wheel that made their strengths differ by at least a thousandfold, she would undoubtedly be defeated instantly in a fight!
Yet such an Eight-Wheel Sunshine King had been casually obliterated by Zhou Heng with a punch!
If Zhou had not been merciful earlier, wouldn’t she have met her demise much earlier? With her companion not yet cold in death, there was a lesson to be learned!
She was a prodigy, possessing great willpower and intelligence, but faced with an existence she fundamentally couldn’t compete against, she still felt afraid, still felt terror!
Such is human nature!
She looked at Zhou Heng, her beautiful pupils constricting, as if in her eyes Zhou Heng was not human, but a frightful monster that could easily obliterate her!
Wu Qi’s face was stern. He knew that Zhou’s punch had shaken his own side’s morale and fighting spirit. If he couldn’t defeat Zhou, then his core position would be doubted, and over time, the team would disband.
These people followed him believing he was an invincible Supreme, a match for anyone in his Realm, and he must never lose!
And he could not afford to lose!
If he lost to a peer Martial Artist, could he still be called a Supreme?
Wu Qi walked towards Zhou Heng, step by step. Each step was slow and rhythmic, unwittingly capturing the minds of those who watched.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Many started vomiting blood incessantly, clueless as they spat out fragments of their liver and other organs. The weaker ones had already collapsed dead, and even Deities were instantaneously slain!
This was a Miraculous Skill that killed invisibly!
Zhou felt nothing; his will was ironclad, and such level of mental influence was simply ineffective against him.
Wu Qi’s pace quickened, humming, humming, humming, with rounds of red suns materializing behind him. He could have brought them out all at once, yet he chose not to, opting for a gradual approach instead.
This was not about showing off or any other meaningless act; it naturally drew Zhou Heng’s attention, setting the stage for Wu Qi’s astounding sword strike that would end the battle abruptly!
Five Wheels, Six Wheels, Seven Wheels!
All eyes were on Wu Qi, curious about his true strength.
Eight Wheels, Nine Wheels, Ten Wheels, These were known to everyone, but did he have the Eleventh Wheel Sun?
People speculated Wu Qi had progressed to the Eleven Wheels Sun Sunshine King, but speculation was just that until seen with their own eyes.
Hum!
Finally, the eleventh red sun formed behind Wu Qi, its crimson light illuminating the world, boosting his momentum tremendously with a terrifying force surging like an ocean!
From Ten Wheels Sun to Eleven Wheels Sun, this was a qualitative breakthrough!
Eleven Wheels Sun Sunshine King, he had broken through the Realm barrier!
Everyone was profoundly shaken, finally seeing an Eleven Wheels Sun Sunshine King, a rare occurrence in the history of the Immortal Realm!
Swish!
At that moment, Wu Qi pointed his finger, and a cold, moon-like Sword Qi swept out, spinning through the air like a dance of heavenly fabric, rolling towards Zhou.
— This was the moment Zhou Heng’s emotions had a sudden shift, his mind tense and his defenses weakest.
The sword strike approached, as if it could split the heavens and the earth!
Zhou dared not be careless. Despite being just one Sun Wheel more than him, that additional Sun Wheel allowed Wu Qi to break through the Realm barrier, truly possessing a power comparable to that of the Sunshine Sovereign!
It was like moving from Seven Wheels Sun to Eight Wheels Sun, a qualitative leap!
He clenched his fist, facing the overwhelming and dominant Sword Qi.
Boom!
The Sword Qi and Zhou’s fist collided, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that surged in all directions!
This was the impact of Sunshine Sovereign level power. Despite the presence of myriad Sublimation Realm experts, their powers were suppressed; they had to show concern and had to defend!
Fortunately, it was just the leftover force, otherwise most people here would have died!
— The Sunshine Sovereign absolutely dominated the Sunshine King!
"One Sword Breaks the Heavens!"
The followers of Wu Qi shouted fervently, their faces alight with fanaticism. This was their master, a genius among geniuses, a supreme anomaly, the true Supreme, the sole Supreme!
Unbeatable! Absolutely unbeatable among his peers!
"No matter who you are, opposing the master means death!"
"The master is unbeatable, one day he will become the Creation Emperor and sweep through the world!"
As the gales dispersed and the dust settled, the battlefield was revealed once more.
Two figures stood opposite each other, both with cold expressions—Zhou Heng and Wu Qi.
The praises from the Feather Tribe beauty and others abruptly stopped. Zhou Heng was still alive; what was the point of their eager cheering, were they slapping their own faces?
Zhou Heng’s left shoulder bore a scar, the horrific Sword Qi still rampaging there, blood spurting wildly, staining his entire upper body red.
The difference in power between the two was equivalent to a Great Realm, so such an outcome from a direct clash was not surprising!
Zhong Gufeng’s eyes lit up, his gaze ignited with raging battle intent as he looked at Zhou Heng.
Though Wu Qi was stronger, he couldn’t arouse his true battle spirit! Because Wu Qi, being an entire Great Realm stronger than Zhou Heng, couldn’t suppress Zhou, which was simply pathetic!
He never thought to challenge a waste, he’d just stab them dead with a dagger!
—Yet, would Wu Qi feel ashamed enough to kill himself if he knew how Zhong Gufeng regarded him?
"Future brother-in-law, you must try hard, if you can defeat this jerk, I’ll truly acknowledge you as my brother-in-law!" Bing Xiulan muttered from the side.
"Don’t worry, Zhou will not lose!" Black Donkey expressed full confidence in Zhou Heng.
"How do you know?"
"...This guy still owes me tens of thousands of treasures, how could he possibly die?"
"You heartless donkey!"
Leaving aside the shock of the others, Zhou Heng’s mind shifted, the Minor Healing Rune activated, and his wounds healed instantaneously, his body shimmering with a faint golden glow. The aura of a Martial King flowed as he seemed to bathe in golden divine light, like a war god descended from the heavens.
"You, you are Zhou Heng!" Wu Qi suddenly exclaimed. He had crossed swords with Zhou Heng once before, and although it was just a casual stroke, he still left some impression on Zhou Heng.
But how could he imagine that the Zhou Heng who was just a Moonlight Emperor back then had suddenly leaped to become the Sunshine King, and even a being that surpassed limitations!
This guy... How many miraculous encounters did he have here?
Was his fortune even greater than his?
No, there can only be one favored by heaven and earth!
It is him, not Zhou Heng!
Kill!
Wu Qi’s expression turned icy, his right hand vibrated, finally bringing out a long sword, pitch black like the Black Sword, with streaks of black mist coiling around the blade like black pythons, looking immensely terrifying.
The previous strike was merely executed with his finger, just as he had produced a sword strike targeting Zhou Heng on the starship of the Hu Family using merely a chopstick.
He is the king among swords, turning any object into a sword in his hands!
But, if it is a sword in hand, his battle power would undoubtedly maximize!
The sword in his hand was an Immortal Artifact from the Sunshine Realm, named Black Serpent Sword, its power could amplify the destructive force of Sword Qi when stimulated by a Martial Artist’s Spiritual Power! Moreover, this sword was incomparably sharp, even cutting the Sunshine Emperor in two!
Bringing out the Black Serpent Sword meant that he was truly intent on killing.
"You killed my brother!" Wu Qi said coldly, his eyes chillingly intense.
"Don’t worry, you’ll join him soon enough on the road to the underworld. I won’t let him wait too long!" Zhou Heng responded casually, his right hand trembling, the Black Sword too was summoned, while his left fist gathered the Minor Attack Rune, with ninety-nine Broken Runes arrayed. He dare not be careless.
If the number of Sun Wheels were the same, Zhou Heng had confidence in suppressing any prodigy, but now it was different, the gap of a Great Realm between the Ten Wheels Sun and the Eleven Wheels Sun was there, and even Wu Qi was going all out, how could he afford to be careless?
"Zhou Heng, you are too arrogant!" Wu Qi said calmly, "Without sufficient strength, arrogance will only bring you a fatal disaster!"
"Do I seem as arrogant as you, flaunting power and making sure everyone notices?" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, "You only dare to show off here. Do you have the guts to flaunt in Juexian City?"
"You—" Wu Qi was stunned. Juexian City was an unattainable peak for all Martial Artists, he was mad but wouldn’t dare claim to cause chaos in Juexian City—he wasn’t the Eternal Evil Venerate!
"Since you dare not, keep a low profile, and stop making sure everyone knows you’re strutting!" Zhou Heng snorted.
Ha ha ha ha, many around laughed, in this unique environment, the Sovereign of Sunshine, like a Creation Emperor, seemed an unscalable presence, facing the One Sword Breaks the Heavens inspired retreat in everyone, thinking now, they had indeed conceded too much.
"Sharp tongue, dare you cause a disturbance in Juexian City?" Wu Qi countered.
"Of course, I dare. Too bad you won’t see that day!" Zhou Heng wielded a flourish with his sword and laughed. "Enough of this idle chit-chat, let’s not waste more time, I still have to send you to your brother, lest he waits too long!"
Wu Qi was almost livid with rage. Dragging out time? Did he need to drag out time?
But this kid sure could talk, causing chaos in Juexian City! Tsk tsk! Wrong, he could really be a descendant of the Eternal Evil Venerate. Back then, his ancestor had caused a stir there, making the descendants of Eternal a target of pursuit in Juexian City, so Zhou’s going there again might not make things any worse!
Such reckless words Wu Qi couldn’t utter, but for Zhou Heng, they were nothing!
Damn, he actually walked right into that trap!
Wu Qi’s eyes became even more fierce, he didn’t want to exchange words with Zhou Heng anymore, simple, kill!
"Since you want to die, I will fulfill you!" He regained his composure. As a true prodigy, he naturally could control his emotions perfectly, never letting emotions cloud his battles.
One who wields a sword must remain calm; he would not let emotions impact his Sword Intent.
Whoosh!
He swung his sword, black Sword Qi soaring, countless black pythons burst forth, bombarding Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng also lifted the Black Sword to meet it, the Feiyu Seven Swords spreading out, Sword Intent fully unleashed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two clashed fiercely. (To be continued. If you like this book, please go to qidian.com to vote for a recommendation ticket and a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
