Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 85 - Bullying to the Extreme

In this way, even if she broke through to the Initial Separation Realm, she wouldn’t have a chance to kill Zhou Heng—unless she was willing to endure the endless wrath of the sect for killing Zhou Heng!

Although she wanted revenge, she wasn’t determined enough to stake her own life on it.

Of course, this was just her wishful thinking, assuming that reaching the Initial Separation Realm would guarantee the death of Zhou Heng.

“We can’t give this kid more time to grow!” She clenched her fist with hatred and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Even if she wanted to dissolve the grudge now, it would be impossible to win over Zhou Heng’s trust—their conflict was destined to be a fight to the death!

“Since this kid is still at the Beast Fighting Arena, then—”

“Call upon Shangguan Qi of Kill All Directions to slay this brat!”

“No matter the cost!”

…

Although Zhou Heng had won all four battles in the Beast Fighting Arena previously, he only had a bit of fame.

It was his victory over Liu Huang that made him a big celebrity, now well-known in every household in Tianhang City.

Will Zhou Heng continue to fight in the Beast Fighting Arena against those nine stronger individuals?

Everyone was looking forward to it, preferably Zhou Heng going straight against Shangguan Qi of Kill All Directions, who had an unbreakable reputation in the Beast Fighting Arena—that would surely be an extraordinarily spectacular fight!

Zhou Heng didn’t care about these things, after winning against Liu Huang, his personal assets instantly broke through the ten thousand Spirit Stone mark, which qualified him to be considered a small wealthy man!

For the accumulation of his cultivation level, he would certainly continue to fight in the Beast Fighting Arena, but now his strength was too overwhelming, and the management of the arena wasn’t stupid either—they wouldn’t pair him against weak opponents—bringing those criminals over had cost Heavenly Treasure Pavilion considerably, and if Zhou Heng were to fight them without any suspense, betting on it would only result in loss!

The Beast Fighting Arena didn’t reply directly to Zhou Heng and was still discussing which expert to deploy next to decisively strike Zhou Heng down.

Zhou Heng wasn’t in a hurry.

Tomorrow was the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s auction.

He set his sights on the Wind Spirit Fruit—capable of enhancing one’s realm—he was determined to obtain it!

In the past, he would not have dared to dream of it, but now he already had a fortune of ten thousand Spirit Stones, plus he had five Moon Beads.

Valuing a bead at a minimum of a thousand Spirit Stones each, those five beads were worth five thousand Spirit Stones!

Inner Sect Disciples of Black Water Hall get only one Spirit Stone every three months, ten thousand five hundred Spirit Stones would make the disciples of the Nine Peaks go crazy with envy.

Getting one Wind Spirit Fruit should not be too difficult, even two was possible, but three might be risky.

He was worried that people like Zhu Zhihe would come to him to go to the auction together, so he thought about changing to another inn.

After all, he was quite famous now, and it wouldn’t be difficult for those with intentions to find out where he was staying.

Before he left, he received a rather uninviting guest.

It was a young man, no more than twenty-five or twenty-six, but with a terrifying aura, even stronger than Liu Shengjie by a notch—Initial Separation Second Layer Heaven!

“My name is Yan Yinglong!” The visitor got straight to the point, “I’m here for one thing only!” He casually sat down, taking the liberties of a host rather than a guest.

Being at the Initial Separation Realm, he was indeed arrogant!

Zhou Heng felt extremely displeased inside.

What of the Initial Separation Realm?

Anyone who bullied him became his enemy!

If pushed too far, he would unleash Gu Zi to join forces and dispose of this bastard!

“In the upcoming fight at the Beast Fighting Arena, I want you to lose!” Yan Yinglong said with a commanding tone, his expression calm, as if stating something utterly reasonable.

He suddenly smiled and added, “Don’t entertain any unrealistic ideas, you can’t possibly contend against me!”

“First, you’re simply no match for me!”

“Second, I am the Young Sect Master of Sea Mountain Sect, in terms of status, I am the dragon in the heavens, and you are nothing but an ant!”

So he was planning to make a fortune by manipulating the gamble!

However, Sea Mountain Sect is indeed very powerful, being the leader of the Nine Peaks of Tianhang!

As the Young Master of Sea Mountain Sect, in terms of power, he even surpasses Liu Shengjie by quite a bit.

No wonder he’s so brazen!

Zhou Heng’s expression was ice-cold as he said, “You want to see me defeated, simple, find me a worthy opponent!”

“You—” Yan Yinglong’s face suddenly turned fierce, but then he laughed instead of getting angry, “You’ve got guts!

Do you think just because you’re a disciple of Black Water Hall, I wouldn’t dare to touch you?”

“At least not here!” Zhou Heng returned the smile.

Fighting was prohibited in Tianhang City, a rule jointly established by the Nine Peaks.

Although there were still private fights, now they were under the public eye, and even Yan Yinglong wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in the inn no matter how bold he was.

“Good!

Good!

Good!” Yan Yinglong let out a series of cold laughs, “Since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige!

Your next opponent will be Shangguan Qi from ‘Kill All Directions.’ I really want to see how you’ll survive!”

He left with his hands behind his back, appearing as if he had suffered great injustice.

Zhou Heng clenched his fists.

His strength had grown quickly, but it was still not enough!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to tolerate, and he could directly take Yan Yinglong into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower and execute him, and no one would know he had a hand in it!

I must get my hands on the Wind Spirit Fruit!

Zhou Heng switched inns and once again disguised himself as Li Hong, waiting patiently.

The next evening, he arrived at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and, after showing the token, was led into a private room, receiving treatment befitting a VIP.

Like a theater, the wall facing the lower floor had been removed and replaced by a black curtain.

One could choose not to roll it up if they didn’t want to be seen; it was still possible to see clearly through the curtain.

Zhou Heng looked down and saw that the lower floor was indeed like a stage, with a wooden platform at the front, but it was filled with rows of chairs, enough to accommodate a thousand people.

By now, the lower floor was at least eighty percent full.

The second-floor private rooms mostly had black curtains still drawn.

Zhou Heng used his Divine Sense to check briefly before quickly retreating—there were experts at the Initial Separation Realm!

Using Divine Sense to probe experts could be seen as a provocation, so he withdrew it immediately after touch.

Another ten minutes passed, and the floor below was packed to capacity.

It seemed that the Wind Spirit Fruit and Moon Bead were highly attractive.

It was yet to be seen how high the final price would be.

“Brother Qinghe, what brought you here?”

“Brother Changtian, why shouldn’t I come?

It’s not like you’re the only one with descendants!”

“Then one Wind Spirit Fruit per person, there’s no need to spoil our good relations!”

“Haha, Liu Qinghe, Shen Changtian, you’re dividing the spoils too quickly!”

“Hmph, I’m only interested in the Moon Beads.

Give me some face, folks.

I just want two!”

“That’s quite the appetite you’ve got there.

There are only five Moon Beads in total, and you want two for yourself?”

Even though the curtains of the upstairs private rooms weren’t lifted, that didn’t stop those experts at the Initial Separation Realm from recognizing each other by their aura.

After all, there were only around a hundred experts at that level in the entire Tianhang City; they knew each other very well.

The auction hadn’t started, yet these people were already dividing the loot amongst themselves.

However, there were more monks than porridge, making it impossible to reach an agreement.

In the end, it would come down to who had the deeper pockets.

Zhou Heng waited patiently.

A few minutes later, someone finally took the stage at Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and it was Ma Kuanjun.

It turned out a high-tier expert at the Initial Separation Realm was hosting the auction!

Considering the precious items being auctioned that day and the presence of many Initial Separation Realm experts, of course, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion couldn’t simply send a Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artist to maintain order.

“Welcome, everyone, to today’s auction held by our pavilion!

I know some old friends are here for the Wind Spirit Fruit, and others have their eyes on the Moon Beads.

But, friendship aside, business is business, and I must follow the pavilion’s rules.

So don’t expect any favors like auctioning off those items first.

Give up on that idea!”

Ma Kuanjun’s words immediately elicited laughter from the crowd.

It had to be said that businessmen would be businessmen; with that statement, no one could rely on their status or relationship to ask Ma Kuanjun for early access to the Moon Beads and Wind Spirit Fruit.

“Without further ado, let’s start today’s auction!” While Ma Kuanjun was laughing and chatting with the people upstairs, of course, those on the ground floor couldn’t dare to complain.

Their highest Cultivation Level was merely the Spirit Gathering Realm, and they had no qualification to speak in the presence of those at the Initial Separation Realm.

“The first item of today is a pill,” said a maid as she brought up a tray.

Ma Kuanjun took a pill bottle from it and began the introduction.

The initial items were inexpensive pills such as Gathering Yuan Pills and Minor Revival Powder, or so-called Divine Weapons, all suitable only for those in the Body Refinement Realm.

It wasn’t just that the big-shots on the second floor wouldn’t pay attention to these—most people downstairs also didn’t give them a second glance.

“Next, we have a magic artifact!” As the caliber of the auction items was not high, Ma Kuanjun wasn’t particularly enthusiastic.

However, when it came to the magic artifact, he suddenly raised his voice a few notches, showing some excitement.

“In the Martial Path’s Nine Realms, magic artifacts are also divided into nine tiers.

High-tier Martial Artists using low-tier artifacts can lead to the artifact being destroyed.

Thus, a high-tier artifact is naturally extremely precious, and this Blade Lihuo in my hand is of the Initial Separation Realm level.

Its full potential is unleashed with Spiritual Power, even capable of releasing flames with considerable power!”
