Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 97 - Savior

No matter how sparingly Zuo Hongchen used pills, Shangguan Qi’s body continued to grow colder, ultimately dead to the core.

Zuo Hongchen finally ceased his futile efforts and turned his deadly gaze towards Zhou Heng, his killing intent surging like a tide.

He had only this one apprentice.

Although he was strict, it was all out of a desire to see him succeed as if he were his own child.

It was difficult for an apprentice to find a good master, but even more challenging for an expert to find a genius to inherit his mantle.

Zuo Hongchen had invested countless efforts and hopes in Shangguan Qi.

This was supposed to be Shangguan Qi’s final battle here but turned out to be the final battle of his life!

The old monster showed no sign of repentance for his shameless past actions, his heart filled only with hatred for killing his disciple!

He wanted to slaughter Zhou Heng to avenge his beloved disciple!

“Boy, I will not let you die easily,” Zuo Hongchen said.

“I will torture you bit by bit, making you wish for death.

Not just you, but everyone related to you won’t escape either.

I will exterminate your entire family, not sparing even a cat or a dog!”

The old monster didn’t rush to take action.

He was the strongest person present, and he also had a terrifying backing.

Who would dare to stop him?

“Senior Zuo, please show mercy!” Just then, someone stood up.

All eyes instantly turned towards this person.

They saw a woman as beautiful as a flower in purple, her charm indescribable.

“It’s Miss Zi Xing!”

“Ah, that’s Miss Zi Xing!”

“Why would Miss Zi Xing plead for Zhou Heng?”

“Probably the heroic spirit of Zhou Heng moved the beauty!”

Amid the gasps, Ruan Jiaying greeted Zuo Hongchen with a curtsy and said, “I am Ruan Jiaying of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

I humbly ask you, Senior, to show magnanimity and spare him, after all, this was a fair duel!”

Fair?

What fairness, Zuo Hongchen thought, knowing he had intervened several times, shamelessly already!

The crowd murmured internally, but fearing Zuo Hongchen’s power, dared not speak aloud.

Shangguan Qi deserved to be slaughtered!

Well killed!

Marvelously killed!

Hit them hard!

Zuo Hongchen showed a hint of wariness.

He deeply understood the power of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and he knew that what he knew of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was just the tip of the iceberg, an overwhelmingly dominant force on the Xuanqian Continent that few could contend with!

At that level, he didn’t even qualify to look up!

He would never dare to offend Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Not just him, but even the Poisonous Blood Sect behind him wouldn’t dare!

However, Ruan Jiaying was just from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion of Cold Blue Country, not really high-ranked!

Besides, he hadn’t offended Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, just hadn’t shown them face, which was a minor matter he could handle.

“Girl, this boy killed my beloved disciple.

I must take his head to avenge my disciple.

Don’t you interfere!” Zuo Hongchen spoke calmly, his tone resolute.

At his level, his heart on the martial path must remain steadfast, otherwise any faltering would mean no further progress for the rest of his life.

Ruan Jiaying felt bitter.

She had arrived a few days ago and hadn’t had the chance to meet Zhou Heng.

Although Zhou Heng’s second spiritual body test was very normal, she still harbored deep suspicions and wanted to delve further into his background.

But she hadn’t expected Zhou Heng to be so troublesome, provoking an old monster at the Third Layer Heaven of the Land Cleaving Realm, a ranking expert in the entire Cold Blue Country, with few able to surpass Zuo Hongchen!

Zhou Heng… was doomed!

Zuo Hongchen played with him like a cat with a mouse, letting Zhou Heng first taste the flavor of despair.

However, Zhou Heng didn’t give him that respect; his expression remained incredibly relaxed!

This kid, had he gone mad from extreme terror?

How could Zhou Heng be afraid?

The moment he had decided to finish off Shangguan Qi, he had already planned his escape route—the Nine Mystic Trial Tower!

This treasure could eventually generate enemies at the Divinity Transformation Realm; surely it must be a magic artifact at the Divinity Transformation level, right?

Zuo Hongchen couldn’t possibly destroy it!

He could enter the tower anytime for refuge.

The ground here was covered with yellow sand and mud, making it impossible for Zuo Hongchen to find the shrunken Nine Mystic Trial Tower even if his vision was enhanced ten thousand times.

As for whether this caused a commotion or not, Zhou Heng no longer cared, as survival was obviously the most critical.

“Boy, aren’t you afraid?” Zuo Hongchen said coldly.

“Why should I be afraid?” Zhou Heng retorted, pointing a finger at Zuo Hongchen, disdainfully saying, “An old monster like you who has no shame cannot scare me!”

“Hahaha!” Zuo Hongchen laughed coldly looking towards the heavens.

“Very good, very spirited!

I’ll enjoy torturing you, after all, it’s really boring when they beg for mercy after just a few strikes!”

“I hope your bones are as tough as your mouth, able to hold up for at least half a year!” the old monster finally made his move, his right hand reaching out, transforming into a giant palm that grasped towards Zhou Heng.

This was not the power of Bloodline, but a manifestation of Spiritual Power, far surpassing the size of Shangguan Qi’s Giant Spirit Palm, almost as if it could blot out the sun and sky.

“Hmph, who dares to touch a single hair on my son-in-law?” With a cold snort, an imposing and domineering man appeared in front of Zhou Heng, throwing a punch toward the giant palm in the sky.

Bang!

The giant palm immediately shattered into countless fragments.

The man stood proudly like the Great Demon God, looking down on the world, his terrifying aura not the slightest inferior to Zuo Hongchen.

This made Zhou Heng dismiss the idea of entering the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.

An Ruochen has arrived!

“Daddy—,” An Yumei cried out joyfully, her worries vanishing in an instant.

“Who might this be…

oh, you must be An Luochen!” Zuo Hongchen gave a respectful fist salute.

“Brother An, please show some deference for an old man.

This young man killed my disciple, and I must take his life!”

“And who are you to deserve my deference?” An Luochen rebuked mercilessly, pointing a finger at Zuo Hongchen, his expression full of disdain.

Zuo Hongchen was nearly driven to explode in rage!

He was in the Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven, and so was An Luochen.

They were equally matched in realm, and a fight would likely result in mutual destruction!

His courteous demeanor did not mean he feared An Luochen.

How many years had it been since anyone had dared to curse him to his face?

Zhou Heng before did not count, as he was only in the Spirit Gathering Realm, not even worthy of a second glance!

Just as an elephant never concerns itself with how an ant might challenge it, the parties are simply not on the same level, as easily trampled underfoot.

But An Luochen was a genuine expert of the Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven, and being cursed in the face by a warrior of the same realm enraged Zuo Hongchen beyond measure!

“I will kill this man today!” Zuo Hongchen’s voice also turned cold as he reached out again towards Zhou Heng.

“Seeking death!” An Luochen roared fiercely, leaping forward and swinging his fist right toward Zuo Hongchen’s face.

“You’ve gone too far!” replied Zuo Hongchen, raising his hand to meet the attack.

Bang!

When An Luochen’s fist landed, Zuo Hongchen’s defense was as good as none, and the punch landed hard on his face.

With a loud crash, Zuo Hongchen was sent flying, but An Luochen immediately reached out, grabbed his ankle, and yanked him back.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

An Luochen repeatedly punched, each blow landing heavily on Zuo Hongchen’s face, like an adult bullying a child, with Zuo Hongchen unable to resist even slightly.

“Think you can kill my son-in-law, what are you?”

Bang bang bang bang!

Zuo Hongchen was now a human punching bag, utterly lacking the dignity of a Land Cleaving Realm expert.

Damn satisfying!

Seeing the old monster being punched and kicked, the audience wished they could jump down into the arena and join in the fun.

After all, this old guy was arrogant, domineering, and wantonly broke rules!

Beat this old rascal to death!

“Dad, dad has broken through!” An Yumei shouted joyously.

To toy with a Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven expert like this, he must have ascended a Great Realm!

“Heaven-Opening Realm!” Zuo Hongchen suddenly shouted, “You’ve stepped into the Heaven-Opening Realm!”

“Shut up!” An Luochen punched Zuo Hongchen’s old face once more, and with a splat, Zuo Hongchen spat out fresh blood along with seven or eight teeth.

Zuo Hongchen, who had just been so formidable, was now beaten like a dead dog—the immense contradiction was beyond imagination!

“Son-in-law, this old bastard bullied you, it’s up to you to deliver the final blow!” An Luochen turned and spoke to Zhou Heng.

“Sure!” Zhou Heng agreed without hesitation.

“You, you dare!” Zuo Hongchen exclaimed, as no one wants to die, especially not at the hands of a minor warrior from the Spirit Gathering Realm, which would be a humiliating disgrace, leaving him unable to rest in peace after death!

He glared at Zhou Heng, and although unable to act, he still sent a massive surge of aura crashing towards Zhou Heng.

Bang!

An Luochen punched out, striking Zuo Hongchen’s head and instantly rendering him unable to resist, his head hanging limp like a dead fish.

“I am a member of the Poisonous Blood Sect; you can’t kill me!” Zuo Hongchen yelled miserably, not wanting to die, especially not at Zhou Heng’s hands.

“What of the Poisonous Blood Sect!” Zhou Heng was daring as ever, having been previously tormented by Zuo Hongchen, there was no reason for him not to strike back now, especially considering how much Spiritual Power a Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven warrior could provide—it was an opportunity not to be missed!

With the Black Sword summoned, Zhou Heng swung without hesitation!

Splat—Zuo Hongchen’s pale head was severed from his neck, his old eyes still filled with intense resentment and disbelief, shocked that these two actually dared to kill him!
