Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 814 - 791 Parting Ways (3/3)

Why do I feel so good about myself?

Zhou Heng shook his head. This "young man" was too arrogant, believing his thoughts were absolutely right and couldn’t tolerate any challenge from others! He assumed a moral high ground by saying he was actually doing it for your good, masking his own brutish tyranny and overbearing arrogance.

A person like this, acting under the pretense of justice to fulfill his own desires, is truly detestable!

As Zhou Heng saw that his intentions weren’t entirely malicious, he merely gave a faint smile, choosing not to respond, and took the Black Donkey to leave, unwilling to waste time in a war of words.

"Stay here!" Ju Huayi snorted coldly, a fierce glint in his eyes as seven rays of light shot out, transforming into seven Great Halberds, aiming at Zhou Heng to suppress him.

Zhou Heng didn’t even turn his head, just thrust a punch behind him.

Bang!

Immediately, a golden light screen appeared behind him, and as the seven Great Halberds flew to stab at him, they were instantly shattered into countless brilliant particles of starlight.

Ju Huayi was momentarily stunned, and his expression turned even colder as he sneered, "No wonder you dare act recklessly, you do have some strength! However, you’re merely a Sublimation Emperor—individual power is limited, going solo is seeking death!"

"The nine of us combined can barely contend with the Creation King. If we split up... don’t forget, it’s not just our five factions in here! We’ve formed an alliance, but no one else has allied with us!"

"Friend, do you still insist on acting rashly?"

Zhou Heng felt a chuckle rising within him. The opponent had claimed all the reasons, making him inexplicably the sinner of the ages—wasn’t this accusation too large and fast? He turned back to glance at Ju Huayi, saying, "Since you’ve mentioned an alliance, then for the sake of the alliance’s principles, let me remind you, this formation is quite formidable, so it’s better if everyone finds their own ways out!"

"Nonsense, my Seventh Master is a Four Aspects Bright Immortal, what formation can trap him?"

"Exactly, my Old Ancestor is a Three Aspects Bright Immortal, practically invincible in this world, he will surely come to find us!"

"Stop with the frightening talk!"

Zhou Heng’s warning seemed to strike a sensitive nerve in the others, causing several people to jump up. Of course, not everyone reacted this way; some showed contemplative expressions, unable to ignore the possibility Zhou Heng mentioned.

After all, they had been trapped in this grand formation for some time, and they hadn’t heard any sounds of it being attacked so far. So, where were their elders?

"Hmph, don’t believe what he says!" Ju Huayi’s face was filled with mockery, "The two Chi Wei already said that this place would progressively strip Martial Artists of their cultivation level, but so far, we haven’t felt any impact! So why believe those two Chi Wei? They are enemies, and to protect the Seven Stars Fruit, they would stop at nothing. This is a deliberate attempt to disrupt our formation!"

"Exactly! My cultivation level hasn’t decreased either!"

"They must be trying to deceive us!"

"No cultivation level falling and turning into mortals—is that even possible!"

"Yeah, yeah, several Old Ancestors are Bright Immortals, who in this world can strip them of their cultivation level?"

Those who had just questioned Zhou Heng were immediately encouraged again, shouting at Zhou Heng with angry glares, as if he was the one who caused their predicament.

Zhou Heng shrugged and said, "I’ve said what I needed to say, this is just in spirit of our alliance—believe it or not, it’s up to you. I’m not asking you to believe by force!"

"In that case, I wish you all good luck, till we meet again!" He started to walk away, waving casually as a gesture of farewell.

"Since you also mentioned an alliance, how can I let you venture out alone?" Ju Huayi shouted, stepping forward and reaching for Zhou Heng, "For the sake of our alliance, this time I’ll overlook our differences and save you! Stay here for me!"

Zhou Heng’s gaze turned sharp; this person was truly incorrigible, and since it was like this, he needn’t be polite anymore!

Swoosh, Ju Huayi had already darted over, reaching out his right hand to grasp Zhou Heng’s shoulder.

Zhou Heng, in turn, reached out to grab back at him.

Snap!

He was immensely powerful, invincible in his realm, not to mention the Fifteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor inherently overwhelmed Ju Huayi in strength. As his large hand extended, Ju Huayi’s body-protective spiritual power was like thin air, and Zhou Heng easily caught him by the neck.

"Ugh—" Ju Huayi’s face turned red as Zhou Heng grasped his neck, and his limbs flailed desperately.

How embarrassing!

Just moments ago, he was strutting with a superior attitude towards Zhou Heng, utterly at a loss now as he couldn’t withstand even one move, like falling from a great height with a thud, his face utterly disgraced!

The other people were also stunned speechless. Among them, there were those who were also above Ten Aspects Sublimation Emperor, confident they wouldn’t lose to Ju Huayi, but taking him down in one move... no one dared make such a claim!

Only the Creation King could so effortlessly subdue an Eleven Aspects Sublimation Emperor!

Zhou Heng’s battle power... was terrifying!

After a casual scan around, Zhou Heng tossed Ju Huayi to the side and said, "I’ve said all that needs to be said, take care of yourselves!"

"Wait!" Fang Yirong suddenly called out.

Zhou Heng frowned, was there still someone who hadn’t learned their lesson? He stopped, with an unmistakable expression of displeasure on his face; he was not a particularly patient person.

"Brother, please don’t be angry. Little sister does not intend to stop you but wants to ask if you could allow me to accompany you?" Fang Yirong showed a charming smile, though feeling somewhat indignant in her heart. After all, she was Fang Yaolin’s granddaughter, held in high esteem, and in terms of appearance, she was a peerless beauty—what man wouldn’t succumb to her charms?

But Zhou Heng actually had a face full of disgust, really making her furious!

Who would have expected Zhou Heng to display such powerful battle power, especially in a place as treacherously unpredictable as this, of course it’s safer to follow such a powerful expert!

Fang Yirong was proud and even had quite a spoiled temperament, but she wasn’t stupid!

"Brother, would you mind including little sister too?" Yang Xinghua smiled sweetly.

"Haha, count me in too!"

Zhou Heng shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to follow, then follow. It’s your freedom, but I have no obligation to protect you!" He tugged the Black Donkey along and walked ahead.

They split into two groups of nine, with four people following Zhou Heng, while the other three stayed with Ju Huayi, unsure if danger lurked around every corner here, or if staying put was the best strategy!

Moreover, they were even more convinced that the family experts would find them and rescue them!

"Just you wait!" Ju Huayi glared viciously at the spot where Zhou Heng had disappeared. He had never been this humiliated before, and it lit a fire of killing intent within him that couldn’t be extinguished.

He would certainly wait for the family experts to arrive, and then catch up to Zhou Heng, and slaughter him!

...

Zhou Heng didn’t pay any attention to Ju Huayi, nor to the four freeloaders tagging along behind, just kept on walking.

"Hey, what’s your name?" Fang Yirong struck up a conversation with Zhou Heng as they walked, unable to bear that any man could ignore her charm.

It must be that he hadn’t opened his eyes yet to realize her absolutely stunning beauty! It had to be!

Zhou Heng shot her a cold glance, he never favored these self-absorbed princess types, and said, "My name is Zhou Heng, and we didn’t know each other before, nor will we have any dealings in the future!"

"Brother Zhou, you seem a bit cold-hearted, don’t you?" Yang Xinghua secretly enjoyed seeing Fang Yirong fall flat in front of Zhou Heng. She smiled sweetly and thought, since Fang Yirong’s charm isn’t working, let me show you mine! She said, "But Brother Zhou, do you know which way we should go?"

In truth, Zhou Heng didn’t understand this formation, and didn’t know which way to go. But he knew one thing — staying still wasn’t going to accomplish anything! Moreover, he did have a goal, that any formation must have array eyes, maybe one, maybe several. As long as he found them, he could break the formation!

This formation was laid with complete runes from the Immortal Realm. By studying it, he might be able to draw analogies and deepen his grasp of the Chaos Heavenly Scripture.

"If you want to follow then follow, but don’t talk nonsense!" Since he was said to be cold-hearted, he might as well be heartless, anyway he didn’t intend to make any friends.

Fang Yirong and the four looked at each other, all somewhat regretful. Would they really be safer coming out with someone like this than staying put? But they had already left, and going back now would be too humiliating!

The five of them fell silent, walking quietly.

"Say something, this is so boring!" the Black Donkey spoke obnoxiously.

Startled that this donkey could actually speak, Fang Yirong and the others were slightly stunned.

Though unlike the Mortal Realm where even Divinity Transformation Realm demon beasts can only communicate via divine sense, in the Immortal Realm, it’s not unusual for divine beast descendants to not only speak but also transform into human forms!

But could this donkey really have divine beast bloodline?

Which divine beast would ever mate with a donkey?

Seeing the peculiar expressions of the four, the Black Donkey immediately jumped up and said, "What’re you looking at? Even though you’re gazing worshipfully at me, how could beings like you possibly understand my greatness?"

Fang Yirong and the others found their faces twitching; this was indeed an incorrigible donkey, exuding a strong rogue vibe from head to hoof.

Hmm?

Zhou Heng suddenly halted, his gaze fixed ahead.

"What’s wrong?" Fang Yirong couldn’t help but ask.

Zhou Heng ignored her; he had no interest in babysitting them. Besides, the answer was about to reveal itself.

Whizz, a luminous shadow whizzed over, revealing itself as a seven-foot-long porcupine, its spikes manifesting as slender sword blades, each blade emitting a bright, cold gleam.

This was a Sunshine King’s monster.

It’s called a monster rather than a demon beast because it wasn’t a living creature; besides the sword blades, the rest of its body was an illusion!

This was undoubtedly a creature created by the grand formation.

"Did a mere Sunshine King mechanism beast frighten Brother Zhou?" A man of the Sublimation Emperor realm laughed. His name was Tai Yuan. Though his battle power paled in comparison to Zhou Heng, he held his own with his presence.

After all, his clan’s Old Ancestor was a Four Aspects Bright Immortal, giving him elite lineage.

"Let me take care of it for Brother Zhou!" He laughed heartily, stepped forward, and struck with a palm. With a bang, the porcupine shattered into light and shadow, leaving the sword blades scattered on the ground.

Zhou Heng sighed; it wasn’t the porcupine that had caught his attention!

Rumble, an even louder commotion came. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to cast your vote or monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
