Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 760 - 737 Old Resentment (3/3)

Tong Anyue strolled forward, his expression at ease, as if he were walking in his own backyard.

Layers of earthy yellow light shimmered around him, repelling all the fierce flames—it was definitely the power of a Heavenly Scripture that he possessed.

He stopped ten paces in front of Zhou Heng and Bing Xinzhu, and with a slight smile towards them, he said, "So it turns out that two Heavenly Scriptures have fallen into the hands of Master Zhou and Miss Bing!"

Without waiting for Zhou Heng and the others to reply, he placed his hands behind his back and said, "Hand over the Heavenly Scriptures, and I shall grant you a swift death."

Zhou Heng laughed heartily and said, "Aren’t you afraid that the Taiyi Sect Master and my senior sister will come after you?"

Tong Anyue revealed a toothy smile, his demeanor still gentle and refined as he said, "This place blocks all Divine Sense fluctuations. If I kill you here, no one would know who did it!"

"You’ve hidden it well, to think that not a single person knew you possessed a Heavenly Scripture," Bing Xinzhu remarked.

Tong Anyue laughed again and said, "Those who show off too much die quickly! Enough talk, it’s about time you handed over the Heavenly Scriptures!"

Zhou Heng summoned the Black Sword, and said proudly, "Are you that confident in yourself?"

"Although this place suppresses the realm, I still have the power of a Fourteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor, and you are merely Sublimation Kings. How can you be my match?" Tong Anyue said indifferently.

His understanding of Zhou Heng and the others was still based on their battle in the Arena, but that was normal. How much progress could be made in just a handful of months?

Zhou Heng, however, revealed a peculiar smile and said, "Do you know why there is realm suppression here?"

Tong Anyue was slightly taken aback. He had indeed not figured that out, for if it were set by some Big Shot, then killing him would have been far too easy! But he didn’t want Zhou Heng to gain the upper hand, so he just smiled graciously as if he disdained to know the answer.

"It was a ploy set up by my senior sister!" Zhou Heng suddenly bellowed.

Tong Anyue was struck as if by a thunderclap. Was this a scheme deployed by that Peerless Heavenly Maiden? Highly possible—after all, she had once burst a Super Creation Emperor with just a glance. If Dugu Xuan hadn’t kept a trick up his sleeve and deployed only a Divine Aspect, he might have fallen on the spot!

His lord was not only the most beautiful in the world but also possessed strength that was alarmingly formidable!

He couldn’t help but tremble. The blockage of Divine Sense here was real, but if Huo Tian truly had the ability to enforce realm suppression here, then breaking through such Divine Sense isolation would hardly be difficult. Was it really appropriate for him to brazenly kill here?

At that moment, Zhou Heng struck with his sword!

The Starry Sky Sword Technique unleashed thirteen Dharma Aspects at once. The attack runes had increased to one hundred and eighty-five after his breakthrough to Sublimation Sovereign, closely interwoven on the Black Sword as he suddenly unleashed his full strength.

"Well played, kid!" Tong Anyue faltered slightly, Zhou Heng’s timing was exquisite, capitalizing on the momentary lapse in his concentration. But what of it? He could wield the power of a Fourteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor, more than enough to crush everything.

He punched out, a swath of earthy yellow light swirling, his fist turning into a stone one! freewebnσvel.cøm

Boom!

Sword and fist collided, Zhou Heng’s face flushed violently, and he involuntarily stumbled backward, while Tong Anyue remained as immovable as a mountain, though there was a deep gash carved into the face of his fist.

"This sword... Not bad!" Tong Anyue shook his fist; the earthy yellow light fluttered, and his fist healed rapidly, soon returning to its flesh color.

This scene was eerily similar to Zhou Heng’s previous fight with Kong Aokun!

Here, there was actually not much difference between a Creation King and a Creation Emperor. Both of them wielded a Heavenly Scripture, one clearly of the Gold Attribute, the other of the Earth Attribute, yet the outcomes were strikingly similar.

Zhou Heng halted his retreat, his face displaying a confident smile.

In terms of strength, he was still no match for a Fourteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor, but it was no longer like in the battle with Kong Aokun, where taking a hit would result in spitting blood!

"Come, fight!" He beckoned Tong Anyue with his fingers.

Tong Anyue laughed in fury. A mere Sublimation King, no, a Sublimation Sovereign, actually dared to provoke him? What audacity! With a snort, his fists once again transformed into stone and swelled up, becoming larger than a human head.

He took a step forward, poised to strike, but his eyebrows knitted slightly as he looked in another direction.

Zhou Heng did likewise, turning his gaze the same way.

A figure was approaching from afar. His steps seemed slow, but with each one covering a distance of miles, his speed was in fact incredibly fast. In just a few strides, he closed half the distance, his body radiating a black glow that constantly transformed into shapes of broadswords, long spears, and more.

Kong Aokun!

——His aura has clearly become much stronger; he must have advanced to the Creation Sovereign by relying on the Extreme Flaming Earth Fruit! However, in this place, such an improvement is equivalent to no improvement at all, as everyone can only exert the battle power of a Sublimation Emperor.

Zhou Heng’s mind stirred, now the five people who held a Heavenly Scripture had all become clear to him—he, Bing Xinzhu, Kong Aokun, Tong Anyue, and the last one would be either Dugu Xuan or Gongyang Taisun.

Among the Heavenly Scriptures of this realm, the Blood River Heavenly Scripture is of the Water Attribute and the Green Wood Heavenly Scripture is of the Wood Attribute, while Kong Aokun and Tong Anyue’s Heavenly Scriptures each represent the Metal and Earth Attributes. Adding on the obviously Fire Attribute Heavenly Scripture of this place, it completes the Perfection of the Five Elements.

One realm’s Heavenly Scripture, nine as the extreme number, but it does not mean that this number must be reached. This time there are only five Heavenly Scriptures, but with the Unification of the Five Elements, complementing and aiding each other, they indeed have the capability to sweep across the Immortal Realm.

"Tong Anyue!" When Kong Aokun spotted the three of them, his speed suddenly increased, and an angry expression fiercely took over his face. His black hair danced wildly in the air, instantly turning blood-red.

The sequelae of his cultivation of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture were far from gone. He was no longer mad but manic!

"Kong Aokun?" Tong Anyue’s face showed surprise. In stark contrast to Kong Aokun, his lips slightly curled as he said, "How strange, that you could actually free yourself from the Mortal Realm and even obtain a Heavenly Scripture!"

"Hahahaha, very good, very good, you didn’t die, that’s wonderful!" Kong Aokun laughed maniacally, but despite saying it was very good, both Zhou Heng and Bing Xinzhu could hear a strong resentment and killing intent in his tone.

"It’s good that you didn’t die, now I can kill you myself!" Indeed, after his manic laughter, he grimly said.

These two must have been bitter enemies for a while; otherwise, judging from Tong Anyue’s tone, he didn’t even know that Kong Aokun had returned. So naturally, they couldn’t have formed a grudge in such a short time.

"Old Seventh Kong, don’t you think this is too much? I am the one who should rightfully eliminate you to find peace!" Tong Anyue’s voice also turned frosty, his refined and genteel face showing a hint of ashen anger.

Both of them looked as if their wives had been killed by the other, and either one of them seemed like the wronged party.

Zhou Heng passed a message to Bing Xinzhu using Divine Sense, asking, "Do you know what grudge lies between these two?"

"Not sure, Tong Anyue is a very low-profile individual, and the incident of Kong Aokun’s madness is rarely mentioned!" Bing Xinzhu replied.

Zhou Heng immediately felt a strong surge of gossip curiosity; what exactly was going on between these two?

"You killed An’an, only your fresh blood can cleanse your sin!" Kong Aokun roared loudly as he lunged toward Tong Anyue, his fists raised high, glinting with a black metallic sheen.

"Nonsense!" Tong Anyue dropped his scholarly demeanor and swung his fist to retaliate, "An’an was my wife, you seduced your sister-in-law, and you still have the face to confront me!"

"Spit, An’an and I had mutual affection, and had already set a marriage pact. If she wasn’t forced by you, how could she have married you?" Kong Aokun furiously swung his fists, countless black iron fists fell from the sky, like a meteor shower.

"That wretched woman, she really told you everything!" Tong Anyue sneered coldly, thump, thump, thump, as he countered with his fists, "So what? Once An’an married me, she was my woman. Catching you two in the act, should I not kill her and just let her continue to cuckold me?"

"Tong Anyue, you have a heart of a beast, today I must cut you down!" Kong Aokun howled like a mad demon.

"Haha, you’ve always been inferior to me, by what right do you cut me down? Wrong, it is I who will cut you down. This time I will merge all the Heavenly Scriptures, becoming the number one person in the Immortal Realm! Even if I ascend to the Bright Realm in the future, I will not be weaker than anyone!" Tong Anyue laughed loudly.

As the two fought fiercely, shrouding the sky in darkness, Zhou Heng and Bing Xinzhu exchanged a glance, fairly certain about the past enmity between them.

Kong Aokun had known "An’an" first and they had already set their affections on each other, but then Tong Anyue intervened forcibly, snatching An’an’s body and pushing her to marry him under duress.

If Kong Aokun was willing to cut off his feelings at that point, there wouldn’t have been any subsequent events, but he couldn’t forget An’an. The two of them even ended up in bed together, only to be caught red-handed by Tong Anyue.

Being an important member of the Kong Family, Tong Anyue naturally didn’t dare to do anything to Kong Aokun, and given that their powers were probably not much different at that time, Tong Anyue ended up killing An’an instead.

After that, Kong Aokun went into a rage, but Tong Anyue couldn’t get the better of him, nor could he handle his opponent. The Kong Family would not start a war with the equally powerful Tong Family just over a woman—moreover, they didn’t have the just cause!

Therefore, Kong Aokun sought other means, enticed by the Old Blood River Ancestor to cultivate the Blood River Heavenly Scripture.

But was the Old Blood River Ancestor ever kind-hearted? In the end, Kong Aokun went insane, causing chaos in Juexian City and killing many scions of powerful families before being suppressed and imprisoned in the Mortal Realm.

In the past, Kong Aokun’s cultivation level was certainly no less than Tong Anyue’s, but after being relegated to the Mortal Realm, firstly, there was not enough Spiritual Power to support his cultivation, and secondly, he himself was downright mad. How could he possibly make any progress?

If it weren’t for some inexplicable opportunity that allowed him to escape back to the Immortal Realm and obtain a Heavenly Scripture, he would still be at the level of a Sublimation Emperor by now, farther behind Tong Anyue.

Yet, things turned out coincidentally that this place is sealed by Huo Tian, where everyone can only exert the strength of a Sublimation Emperor, forcibly bringing the two to the same level.

Thus, who wins and who loses in this battle is really hard to say, depending entirely on who had advanced further while at the level of Sublimation Emperor, who owns more Dharma Aspects!

Even so, at most they could only decide a victor. The likelihood of one killing the other was not very high!

Unless both are willing to fight to the death! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend, vote for monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
