Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 724 - 701: This is Called Protecting the Young (3/3)

Chapter 724: Chapter 701: This is Called Protecting the Young (3/3)

It had only taken a few minutes for the entire Lian clan to be slaughtered, leaving a scene drenched in blood. Zhou Heng stood proudly amidst it all, like a demon or a god.

There was complete silence all around.

The arriving Sunshine Emperor and Sunshine Sovereign, naturally all influential figures or future pillars of the aristocracy, couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow upon seeing the formidable Lian family wiped out fully from top to bottom.

As for misdeeds, they were no strangers to them; after all, which powerful household would restrain its members from abusing their power?

If those with power and influence didn’t use it, then what was the point of their family?

However, they were merely lamenting for a moment before their hearts heated up with a different emotion.

The Lian household was dead, but their land didn’t disappear—a massive wealth awaited! Who cared about the Lian family’s plight when seizing tangible benefits was most essential?

Zhou Heng’s rage gradually subsided, but his heart felt no joy. Instead, he was overcome with an indescribable sorrow.

The people of the Lian family were dead, but those whom they had killed couldn’t be brought back to life!

"Aoooo—"

Just then, a dragon-like roar sounded from afar, causing the winds and clouds to shift dramatically. A wave of force arrived first, pressing down on everyone so heavily that many felt suffocated, almost to the point of vomiting blood.

Whoosh, before the roar had even faded, a figure in green sped through the air. With powerful and terrifying presence emanating from him and his white hair fluttering, his face was deep-set and his eyes hawkish and somber.

This was none other than the Lian family’s Sublimation Sovereign, rushing to the scene!

He had been keeping tabs on the situation here through the Message Transmitting Stone until Zhou Heng had completely obliterated the Lian household, which abruptly cut him off from further updates. This shocked and enraged him; how dare someone provoke the Lian family like this?

He rushed over as fast as he could but was still a step too late; all that awaited him were corpses everywhere!

"Ah—" He let out another furious roar. The sound waves rippled outwards, repeatedly blasting people around him, forcing them back and causing them to spit blood—it was a minor issue; most of them also had their bones shattered.

His name was Lian Yuanchang, a Three Aspects Sublimation Sovereign, with battle power completely at a monstrous level in North Wu City!

"You—" he pointed at Zhou Heng, instantly recognizing him, "you, you insolent brat! You’ve got some nerve!"

Zhou Heng’s expression darkened as well; he loathed it when anyone insulted his parents! He conjured the Hundred Ghosts Sword and said coldly, "Old man, do you have any *farts* to let out?"

I let them out?

Lian Yuanchang’s face turned grim, and he swallowed back the words at his lips. Wasn’t he literally spouting nonsense now? "Impudent!" But he immediately scoffed. No matter how vicious his retorts, he was a Sublimation Sovereign. As long as he subdued Zhou Heng, who would dare gossip?

He struck out with a palm strike as heavy as Mount Tai crashing down on Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng dared not show the slightest carelessness; he had indeed broken through the realm barriers, but this merely placed him at the level of Two Aspects, at most Three Aspects Sublimation King. How could he possibly confront a Sublimation Sovereign head-on?

He performed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step at full tilt, his right hand trembling and already conjuring up a series of Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures with the Hundred Ghosts Sword, which ghostly screeched and dove towards Lian Yuanchang.

"What, a Sunshine Emperor?" Lian Yuanchang showed indescribable astonishment!

Zhou Heng could hide his aura, but the Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures summoned by the Hundred Ghosts Sword could not! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

A genuine Sunshine Emperor!

But it was exactly this fact that made Lian Yuanchang’s eyes nearly pop out of his head!

What right did a Sunshine Emperor have to contend with a Sublimation King? Let alone vanquish two Sublimation Kings!

This power... so strong!

Though to a Sublimation Sovereign, this power might not even amount to one ten-thousandth, for a Sunshine Emperor, it was overpoweringly strong, strong enough to break through the realm barriers to match a Sublimation King!

How could that be!

The barriers of the Sublimation Realm were incredibly tough; how many cycles of sunshine would it take to break through—eighteen, twenty? No one knew, because fifteen cycles of sunshine was the known limit, and no one had ever breached the Great Realm barriers!

In the Immortal Realm, it was universally acknowledged that the barriers of the Great Realm were absolutely unbreakable!

But now such a freak had appeared!

Lian Yuanchang couldn’t help but show a hint of regret—this supreme genius wasn’t a member of the Lian clan! Since that was the case, with murderous intent evident on his face, he resolved to eliminate such a monster early, to prevent any future threat to his family!

Kill!

With a determined intent to kill and unwilling to delay any longer, he directly summoned three Dharma Aspects, aiming to obliterate Zhou Heng in both body and spirit with a thunderous force!

Zhou Heng moved like a fish in water, pushing Swift Cloud Radiant Step to its limits, but the two were not only separated by two realms, including one Great Realm, making even the Swift Cloud Radiant Step insufficient to fully protect him, continually skirting on the edge of danger.

The gap in power was just too great!

Zhou Heng lamented in his heart; a wise man does not eat while facing adversity. He temporarily retreated, but once he broke through the Sublimation Realm, he would surely be able to slay Lian Yuanchang under his sword, after all, his opponent was just a Three Aspects Sublimation Sovereign.

Yet, those nearby were dumbstruck!

Is this kid even human? Facing a Sublimation Sovereign, he still has the strength to fight and wasn’t instantly suppressed!

And, did you hear what Lian Yuanchang just said? This kid is only a Sunshine Emperor!

My heavens, has there ever been such a formidable Sunshine Emperor? Slaying Sublimation Kings as if they were chickens and dogs, completely overturning the iron rules of the Immortal Realm!

"You can’t escape!" Lian Yuanchang snorted coldly, this place’s Lian Clan was unexpectedly wiped out, and a Sublimation King lost as well. If Zhou Heng were to escape on top of that, he would genuinely go mad!

He spared no effort in depleting his spiritual power to forcibly confine the space around them, a move in a battle among Martial Artists of the same realm that was practically suicidal. But Zhou Heng was just a Sunshine Emperor. Even if he had broken through the realm barrier, there was still a vast difference between them, and there was no worry about being countered!

Zhou Heng laughed heartily as he finally pushed the number of his Minor Runes to the maximum. He was determined to blast through the opponent’s spiritual power seal!

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to rely on external forces.

"Die!" Lian Yuanchang exerted his full strength. Having constrained Zhou Heng’s movement technique, he could force Zhou Heng to engage in a tough fight, where with his overpowering strength, he could literally crush Zhou Heng to death.

Zhou Heng was soaked in blood. The opponent’s strength far exceeded his own, and trading blows forcefully was too disadvantageous for him! After just a few moves, his bones showed cracks and his flesh had already burst open.

Fortunately, the Minor Healing Rune had also reached one hundred and one lines and circulated within his body, immediately healing the broken bones and wounds.

"Just lingering on miserably!" Lian Yuanchang showed a disdainful expression, but his heart was tremendously shocked. Zhou Heng’s Immortal Technique was stunningly powerful, absolutely an Ancient Marvelous Skill, incredibly miraculous!

He had to have it! Absolutely must!

"Subdue him for me!" His white hair fluttered and his battle power was fully unleashed!

"Subdue your granny!" Amidst a clear rebuke, a figure suddenly charged into the fray and swung a slap towards Lian Yuanchang.

What!

This area had already been forcefully sealed by Lian Yuanchang at a considerable expense of spiritual power; how could someone possibly break in?

This meant that the intruder’s strength was definitely not lesser than Lian Yuanchang’s! No, to be able to break in so quickly, it wasn’t just a simple matter of not being weaker; it had to be much stronger, enough to disregard the seal as nothing!

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out as Lian Yuanchang was forcefully slapped back, his grizzled beard speckled with dots of fresh blood, his face expressing a bizarre mixture of anger and unspeakable fear.

The suddenly appeared expert was a breathtakingly beautiful young woman, slender and with enticing curves, facing away from Zhou Heng, her clear eyes staring down Lian Yuanchang, emanating anger that anyone could feel.

"Who, senior, are you?" Lian Yuanchang said, trembling. He initially wanted to call her ’Madam,’ but quickly thought of the power that could crush him and hurriedly changed it to ’senior.’

The opponent’s aura was far stronger than Lian Familys’ top expert, the Six Aspects Sublimation Sovereign, by countless times!

This was not a Sublimation Sovereign, but a Sublimation Emperor!

Oh heavens, what on earth had their Lian Family provoked?

"Brother!" A loud shout, and Zhou Tong’s form quickly swept over from a distance, giving Zhou Heng a bear hug.

"Gentle a bit, you’re going to strangle me!" Zhou Heng shouted with his tongue sticking out; he had just been bombarded by a Sublimation Sovereign several times and although his Minor Healing Rune had self-healed, his whole body’s bones were still groaning in pain.

"Zhou Heng, I am your... great-great-aunt!" The stunningly beautiful young woman turned around to greet them, then with a face still full of rage, turned back and said, "This old tortoise dared to attack someone from the Zhou Family, watch how Zhou Ningning breaks every bone in his body!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She started ferociously thrashing Lian Yuanchang in a manner too brutal to look directly at.

Zhou Heng twitched his mouth and whispered softly, "Is this really the Zhou Family’s great-great-grandmother?"

"In terms of generations, she’s your 14th great-grandmother. You won’t lose anything by calling her great-grandma!" Zhou Tong stood next to Zhou Heng, nudging him with his elbow, "How do you manage to find trouble wherever you go, kid? Have you ever been peaceful?"

"Hehe!" Zhou Heng could only offer a dry laugh in response.

"But how on earth did you become a Sunshine Emperor? And you even broke through the realm barrier, taking down a Sublimation King!" Zhou Tong exclaimed in amazement, his face full of sorrow; this made him the weakest in the Zhou Family again.

"You’ve been here all along?" Zhou Heng counter-asked.

"Yes, with all the commotion you caused, Mrs. Ning and I arrived a while back, but since you weren’t in any danger, we didn’t intervene. But I didn’t expect you to be so awesome, you’ve made your brother feel so inadequate!" Zhou Tong sighed deeply.

"Keep practicing, you’ll catch up!" Zhou Heng comforted him, patting his shoulder.

"... I can’t compare to you, you monster, it’s too damaging to my self-esteem. I’d rather watch Mrs. Ning thrash someone!" Zhou Tong said grumpily.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, his cultivation speed was indeed frightening, but it was still thanks to the Heart of Wood and the blood of the True Dragon. If anyone was truly monstrous, it was Ying Mengfan and the others who had been transformed by Huo Tian—after that, they were simply defying the heavens!

Seeing their cultivation speed, Zhou Tong would know what a real blow felt like.

Meanwhile, Lian Yuanchang was finding himself wishing for death!

Before a Sublimation Emperor, he had no chance to fight back, only to be beaten, and Zhou Ningning beat him so mercilessly that not a single bone in his body remained intact, yet her fury showed no signs of abating as she continued to fiercely pummel him.
