Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 777 - 754 Meddling in Affairs (2/3)
Chapter 777: Chapter 754 Meddling in Affairs (2/3)
"Shameless!" Blue Dragon Empress was the first to explode after hearing Liu Dian’s words. She reached out and slapped him across the face, the smack resounding loudly as Liu Dian was struck by her hand. However, her current cultivation level was completely restricted by the laws, and not only did the slap fail to leave a red mark on Liu Dian’s face, but it also left her own delicate hand tingling with pain.
But this slap had caused the morale of the Liu Family to plummet further.
If an ordinary woman could slap their family head, what face would the Liu Family have left if word of this got out?
Zhou Heng watched the expressions of these people and couldn’t help but sneer, "At this point, you’re still worried about losing face? From now on, the Liu Family will be removed from Baiming City!"
"No, you can’t do this!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than many in the Liu Family began to scream. They had remained silent when their family head was slapped, but the idea of the Liu Family being stripped of its name meant that they would lose all their privileges, a severe blow to their interests, so naturally they all started to shout.
What a bunch of... despicable people!
Zhou Heng’s anger surged as his thoughts shifted, and with a flicker of his Divine Sense, slap slap slap, the Sublimation Sovereign was furious, and how could mere mortals resist? The people of the Liu Family were each and every one shattered to pieces!
"Fierce kid!" A shout of chastisement whooshed through the air as a streak of silver cold light suddenly cut across the sky, extremely formidable in its momentum.
Zhou Heng was slightly stunned, raised his hand to block, a wave of force sweeping over as he dissolved the cold light completely.
"Eh?" The person who had made a move seemed a little surprised. With a shadowy flash, a figure descended abruptly from the sky, a vermillion wine gourd on his back, tall and burly with a bare chest, appearing to be in his sixties and exuding an air of unrestrained freedom.
"Old, old immortal!" The surviving members of the Liu Family cried out excitedly. They did not recognize this wine gourd-wielding elder, but since he could withstand Zhou Heng, he was their savior!
Now all they wanted was to cling to this lifeline.
"Young man, you have already entered the Immortal Realm. Why bother quibbling over mortals?" the wine gourd elder shouted at Zhou Heng, with a clear look of displeasure on his face.
—Immortals do not descend from the Immortal-Ascension Bridge; this is a common agreement in the Immortal Domain, and if one must leave the Immortal Domain to enter the Mortal Realm, they must avoid taking action as much as possible! Zhou Heng’s rampant slaughter was a complete violation of the Immortal Domain’s agreement.
This elder was the Sublimation Emperor!
Zhou Heng had Five Elements Rune concealing his aura, so the other party could not discern his depth, but he could see through the other’s. He replied indifferently, "When I see injustice on the road, I must draw my sword to help! Mortals or not, should those who do evil not be punished?"
"Young man, you have violated the common covenant of the Immortal Domain. Follow me back to the Immortal Domain for trial!" the wine gourd elder said righteously.
Zhou Heng shook his head, "I will go to the Immortal Domain, but not now, nor will I be taken there by someone else. Elder, you may leave!"
"Ha ha ha, I didn’t expect anyone in this world would dare not to give me, Lu Dongyun, face!" the wine gourd elder laughed angrily. In his view, this young man was too arrogant, relying on his status as an immortal to show off in the world of mortals, simply losing the face of immortals!
"No matter which family’s offspring you are, today I must teach you a lesson and then take you to your elders to ask how they teach their children!"
Lu Dongyun reached out, and the aura of the Sublimation Emperor surged forth, the formidable pressure causing everyone but Zhou Heng to feel suffocated, almost to the point of vomiting blood.
"Right and wrong are unclear, even though you’ve got a pair of eyes!" Zhou Heng also sneered. This old man didn’t seem to be driven by a sense of justice, at best he was just rigid, clinging to whatever covenant of the Immortal Domain and attacking him from this so-called moral high ground.
What Immortal Domain covenant, to hell with that!
What was his purpose in cultivating? It was to be free from all sorts of constraints, to be a free man!
Facing injustice, smash it!
Zhou Heng’s right fist solidified, and he launched it towards Lu Dongyun.
Bang!
With a heavy sound, both Zhou Heng and Lu Dongyun trembled, each taking a step back.
The level of their Spiritual Power was close, perhaps Lu Dongyun was slightly superior; he should be a Sublimation Sovereign of Three Aspects, perhaps the third aspect’s Dharma Aspect had just been formed.
Seeing that Lu Dongyun had indeed blocked Zhou Heng, the people of the Liu Family cheered.
"Old immortal, you must not let this guy go; he killed countless people from our Liu Family!"
"He’s a devil!"
"Old immortal, you must uphold justice for us!"
The Liu Family survivors all began to vilify Zhou Heng in unison, going to great lengths to paint the Liu Family as utter victims— from their perspective, they were indeed victims. An affair from more than a decade ago? Pfft, that was long past!
"They’re lying, big brother is a good person!" Hu Yin defended Zhou Heng, though she was greatly outnumbered.
On the other hand, the Red Dragon Empress and the others, one couldn’t be bothered to speak up, one had no good feelings for Zhou Heng, and the last one was too busy playing with ants on the ground. The final member, Black Donkey, pranced in circles, eager to speak but it had forgotten how to talk.
Zhou Heng laughed heartily, "Yin, don’t worry, how could an old man possibly be a match for me?"
"Young man, you are too arrogant!" Lu Dongyun’s eyebrows twitched, his anger rising.
Previously, he had exerted less than one ten-thousandth of his strength for the silver light, merely intending to warn Zhou Heng. But that last strike... he had used nearly all his strength, yet he had only managed a draw with Zhou Heng!
Hiss, when did the Immortal Domain produce such a powerful genius?
Who exactly is this young man?
Upon hearing Zhou Heng’s bold disregard for him, the old man immediately grew furious, casting aside his doubts and his eyes swirling with silver light, coiling around him like two silver snakes.
The old man knew he shouldn’t underestimate Zhou Heng. He had decided to reveal his true abilities.
Zhou Heng smiled faintly, curious about the cultivation system that had developed in a world isolated from the outside. He beckoned Lu Dongyun with a casual crook of his finger, appearing calm and collected.
"What an arrogant brat!" Lu Dongyun’s nose almost crooked with fury, but it didn’t affect his performance in the slightest. Enraged, the elder’s form shot forth like a streak of silver light, whoosh whoosh whoosh, countless silvery Sword Qi appeared behind him, shooting towards Zhou Heng in a barrage.
Zhou Heng didn’t dodge or flinch, his mind stirring, and Five Elements Runes appeared in his palm. He raised his hand and lightly said, "Turn!"
Boom!
The barrage of swords attacked, but when they got within ten feet of Zhou Heng, they were halted by a barrier of golden light and then deflected, shooting towards the surviving members of the Liu Family instead.
"Ah——"
"No!"
"Save me!"
But the power of a Sublimation Emperor was so immense that it didn’t need to hit the target directly; just entering within a foot radius of the Silver Sword would cause a terrifying wave of energy to pulverize them!
In a symphony of screaming, blood, and dismembered limbs flew together. Over two hundred members of the Liu Family had survived, but now only a measly four remained, hardly worth counting!
"You——" Lu Dongyun was livid, pointing at Zhou Heng but finding himself at a loss for words. In his eyes, mortals were no different from ants, yet the treaty of the Immortal Domain was not to be trespassed upon lightly.
Zhou Heng shrugged and said, "It wasn’t me who killed them, so why are you looking at me?" He then turned to the four remaining members of the Liu Family with a smile and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Be sure to recognize your true enemy!"
Those four couldn’t even cry. They thought they had a great savior, but as the saying goes, when Immortals battle, the little demons suffer!
Such a high-level battle could kill them a hundred times over with just a bit of stray energy!
It seemed they were destined to die today!
"Young man, who exactly are you?" Lu Dongyun asked gravely, although he knew Zhou Heng was slightly less powerful, the Immortal Techniques he controlled were profound and mysterious, and he no longer dared to hold even a trace of contempt!
What kind of expert could have trained such an astonishing, peerless disciple?
Was there really such a person in the Immortal Domain?
Zhou Heng dusted off his sleeves and said, "Old man, don’t be nosy!" He looked at the area swept by Lu Dongyun’s Sword Qi and revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes, as even the force of the Sublimation Emperor had only left a few holes in the ground.
Why was this happening?
A full-force strike from a Sublimation Emperor could vaporize the entire Baiming City, so why was the destructive power so diminished?
Or was it that the spatial structure here was incredibly stable and even a Sublimation Emperor couldn’t damage it?
"Humph, let’s fight again!" Lu Dongyun launched another attack, refusing to believe this unpleasant truth.
Who was he? An expert standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Domain’s pyramid! frёewebηovel.cѳm
Those stronger than him could be counted on one hand, the few Creation Kings! And yet, this milk-faced brat dared to casually call him ’old man.’ He resolved to teach this young man a harsh lesson.
His form moved again, with silvery Sword Qi cascading down.
"Ah——" "Yah——" "Aye——" "Oh——" The screams continued, and Zhou Heng manipulated the Five Elements Runes, easily neutralizing Lu Dongyun’s attack. But mischievously, he redirected several strands of Sword Qi toward the four remaining members of the Liu Family.
"It’s none of my business! Blame the old man!" Zhou Heng added his commentary from the side.
Lu Dongyun was now too enraged to speak, and although he had no intention of killing the people of the Liu Family, strictly speaking, most of them had died from his power—though Zhou Heng had successfully shifted the blame.
As the final member of the Liu Family perished, the screams finally ceased.
"Boy, you’ve infuriated me!" Lu Dongyun roared, his hands crossing to form two huge Silver Swords, each a rod in length, slicing down towards Zhou Heng.
The Sword Qi was rampant, filled with terrifying destructive force, so powerful it destabilized the space, forming vortexes and revealing multiple blood-red Void Spaces.
Zhou Heng laughed heartily, his fists concentrating with interwoven Five Elements Runes aggressively fighting back.
When he initially struck with his fist, even Zhou Yuhe had been blown away with his Divine Bones shattered. The Five Elements nurturing each other’s growth, this destructive power was immeasurably strong, let alone against just the Sublimation Emperor, Lu Dongyun?
Bang!
Lu Dongyun was immediately blasted away, hitting the wall in a spread-eagle and fainting on the spot. (To be continued.
