Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 586 - 565: One Against Ten (2/3)

Despite his caution, Fu Wenbo still underestimated Zhou Heng, or rather, he underestimated the Swift Cloud Radiant Step!

He should not have been so close to Zhou Heng!

If he had been fully on the defensive, then he might have been able to dodge the sword in time, but his greed got the better of him. He wanted to injure, even kill Zhou Heng in one strike. Consequently, his defensive power was naturally insufficient!

The Black Sword slashed down!

Whoosh, a streak of blood light swept by, and Fu Wenbo’s right arm was cleaved off, flying away from his shoulder and tracing an arc across the sky, falling conveniently in front of the "crowd" that included Fu Liding.

"Aaah—" Fu Wenbo screamed in agony, retreating more than twenty steps, blood spraying everywhere. He was furious, shocked, and terrified!

In such a critical moment, all he could do was try his best to dodge the vitals to avoid the Black Sword from not only cutting off his arm but also severing him at the waist. He had no time to redirect the Essence Blood in his arm!

Having lost an arm, his Cultivation Level retreated by at least a Half-Wheel Moon!

What frightened him even more was the terrifying destructive force within the Black Sword, preventing him from stopping the profuse bleeding from the wound. Every drop of blood that fell represented a diminishment of his Cultivation Level!

What kind of vicious weapon was this?

"You dare to attack me underhandedly!" Fu Wenbo raged to the extreme, pressing one hand on his severed limb to forcibly stem the gush of blood. But this forced him to use all his strength, leaving no room for fighting back.

Onlookers all sneered silently to themselves.

—You all gang up on someone, and yet you have the nerve to accuse him of using underhanded tactics! How utterly shameless!

Zhou Heng flicked the Black Sword, and the Broken Blade remained unstained by blood. He burst into loud laughter, saying, "So what if I ambushed you? Don’t just stand there, all of you—a thick-skinned bunch, craving a group fight. Come on then, I’ll take you all on!"

The faces of the Fu Family and the Moonlight Sovereigns darkened with gloom. With the situation having escalated to this point, even if they managed to take down Zhou Heng and rip him to a thousand pieces, the reputation of the Fu Family was already greatly damaged!

Yet, it was even more unacceptable for them to retreat, as letting Zhou Heng go would be an even greater loss of face!

"Since you seek death so earnestly, I shall grant it!" The two Six Wheels Moonlight Sovereigns from the Fu Family nodded in agreement, and with a wave of their hand, aside from Fu Wenbo, ten Moonlight Sovereigns surrounded Zhou Heng.

Situ Ling frowned. He had already sent the message, but why hadn’t a single high-tier expert from his family arrived? What was happening?

"Brother Situ, your family’s decision-makers probably think it’s not worth it to start an all-out war with the Fu Family over a mere Moonlight Sovereign!" Lian Jingxiang guessed easily and said indifferently.

Situ Ling sighed inwardly, thinking they were nothing but shortsighted fools! To prevent the news from getting out, he had withheld the fact that Zhou Heng was going to be named a Three Stars Pharmacist, and now, the family only acknowledged Zhou Heng as the Eight Wheels Moonlight Sovereign.

As strong as the Eight Wheels Moon might be, such talent had not yet reached the level where the Situ Family was willing to wage full-scale war with the Fu Family. So, the family had simply ignored his request for reinforcements!

Who would have thought that just going out for a meal could turn out to be so thrilling!

Situ Ling had originally planned to use this opportunity to foster a good relationship with Zhou Heng, to know more about him so he could report back to his family. However, he never expected that Zhou Heng could cause such trouble, practically provoking all the high-tier experts of the Fu Family with just one meal!

To cause trouble at this level was indeed impressive!

"Brother Situ, it looks like I’ll have to be the one to return this favor," Lian Jingxiang said lightly, lifting her foot to step forward.

"Attack!" At that moment, the Fu Family decided to start their collective assault.

Zhou Heng let out a long howl, the Black Sword in his right hand and the Hundred Ghosts Sword in his left. The two swords danced together—one black and one red—sending two chilling Sword Qi streaks straight to the skies!

There was no doubt about the power of the Black Sword; a hit to the vitals was immediately fatal, and it drew blood that would not stop flowing, filled with terrifying destructive force. Yet, to look at it, the Black Sword was rather unremarkable, anyone seeing it would think it was nothing more than a discarded Immortal Artifact.

But the Hundred Ghosts Sword was different; not only did it have good looks, but its unique effects were also incredibly powerful!

Swish, swish, swish—as Zhou Heng swung with all his might, ethereal spiritual power ghost creatures began to emerge!

The Eight Wheels Moonlight Sovereign!

"What! How could there be such a strong spiritual power entity!"

"Seven! Eight! Nine! When will it end!"

"Eighteen! Blast it... why can’t we kill them as fast as they’re summoned!"

"It must be that Immortal Sword in the kid’s hand!"

The Fu Family Moonlight Sovereigns were simultaneously shocked and thrilled: shocked by the strength of the Hundred Ghosts Sword, which could summon such powerful spiritual power entities, making even the top-tier experts of Xihai City curse out loud; thrilled because after Zhou Heng was defeated, that powerful Immortal Sword would belong to the Fu Family!

But would it be that easy?

Spiritual power ghost creatures were incapable of using Immortal Techniques, which was a fatal weakness. Against opponents of equal Cultivation Level, just activating an Immortal Technique could easily obliterate them with tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousandfold crushing power!

The key, however, was that these spiritual power ghost creatures were ceaselessly summoned. If one died, another was immediately called forth—they were endless and required no sentiment!

The ten Moonlight Sovereigns fought with all their might. They were indeed powerful, and their palms, fists, kicks, swords, and blades overwhelmed the ghost creatures in an instant. But, this significantly drained their spiritual power, and secondly... Zhou Heng wasn’t exactly swinging the Hundred Ghosts Sword slowly!

A delicate balance was reached between the two sides. The number of spiritual power ghost creatures plateaued at just over fifty, unable to increase further, but not diminishing either.

An Eight Wheels Moonlight Sovereign, occupying ten Moonlight Sovereigns, including two Six Wheels Sovereigns, held his ground evenly matched!

Who would believe such a story if told?

The onlookers were all agape, left completely speechless!

Awesome, overwhelmingly awesome!

Lian Jingxiang had barely taken two steps when she had to halt, turning back to look at Brother Situ, both able to see utter shock in each other’s eyes.

What did this mean?

One man dominated the ten Moonlight Emperors, and two of them were near their peak. Could the Situ Family even bring forth such experts?

They had already greatly overestimated Zhou Heng, yet it still wasn’t enough, not enough at all!

The guy was great at causing trouble, but his own skills were also strong!

He could stand his ground for three days on his own strength; by the time the Pharmacists Association publicly announced Zhou Heng’s identity, not even the Fu Family, given a hundredfold courage, would dare to say or do anything more!

— And it wasn’t just the Fu Family, even they from the Situ Family wouldn’t dare!

Moreover, Zhou Heng’s abilities went beyond that of a Three Stars Pharmacist! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Dammit, what kind of freak was this guy!

Even as the cream of the young generation, Brother Situ and Lian Jingxiang couldn’t help but curse.

The Moon Shadow Saintess and Yang Lanxin clasped their hands tight, they had been somewhat worried at first, but now all that was left was an intense and unmatched pride!

This was their man!

Dazzling brilliance, like the brilliant sun in the sky, his radiance was something no existence could overshadow!

"Capture the king to capture the thieves!" a Six Wheels Moonlight Emperor from the Fu Family bellowed, leaving the formation of ten people, charging straight towards Zhou Heng. Naturally, someone else from the formation widened the defensive line to fill his spot, allowing this expert to attempt a beheading strategy without any concern.

Just kill Zhou Heng, and this dilemma would naturally resolve itself! Just kill Zhou Heng, and this high-tier Immortal Artifact would belong to the Fu Family!

Greed and killing intent intertwined; they definitely had to slaughter Zhou Heng!

Zhou Heng let out a long howl, unyieldingly unleashing the Eight Wheels Half Moon. His Moon Wheel Technique—Thousand Frost Chill—activated, and a small golden figure appeared above his head, performing the Overturning Heaven Palm, while he himself thrust out his sword, executing the strongest move of the Feiyu Seven Swords.

Sword Breaking the Heavens!

All three Immortal Techniques were launched simultaneously at the Six Wheels Moonlight Emperor!

Bang!

A muffled sound resounded, Zhou Heng slid back a hundred yards, his feet plowing two deep furrows into the ground as if they were iron shovels, while the Six Wheels Moonlight Emperor also had a rough time: he took only three steps back but blood had appeared at the corner of his mouth!

This clash ended in a draw, with both sides taking damage!

In terms of raw power, Zhou Heng was several levels below his opponent, but his simultaneous use of three Immortal Techniques made up for the difference in strength.

"A Six Wheels Moonlight Emperor isn’t all that much!" Zhou Heng said with disdain.

The Moonlight Emperor’s face instantly showed his anger, but facts spoke louder than words—Zhou Heng had just fought him to a standstill in plain view of everyone, and there was nothing that could be said to overturn that!

"To hell with you!" Frustrated and ashamed, he launched another fierce attack at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng, however, no longer confronted him directly; after all, a Six Wheels Moonlight Emperor was indeed mightier in strength, vastly more powerful than him. The shock from that previous blow still left him feeling a tumultuous surge of energy, and it was unbearably uncomfortable. Another direct confrontation would be masochistic, wouldn’t it?

He executed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his figure weaving swiftly, maneuvering nimbly under the attacks from the ten Moonlight Emperors.

Swish!

He had no intention of entangling himself with the ten Moonlight Emperors; in a blink, he appeared in front of Fu Wenbo, the Black Sword thrusting rapidly as he aimed to kill a Moonlight Emperor first!

"How dare you!" All ten Moonlight Emperors from the Fu Family were both shocked and frantic. Right now, Fu Wenbo was at his weakest, his battle power possibly falling to that of a common sovereign. They all rushed out to his aid, but the Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures were not to be underestimated. They howled together, tangling with the Moonlight Emperors and hindering their steps to save him.

Zhou Heng’s face was full of murderous intent, the Black Sword swirling, striking with a deadly thrust!

"Brat, I’ll fight you with my life!" Fu Wenbo roared, his clothes appearing to inflate rapidly as if filled with air, a terrible strength circulating through his body.

"He’s going to self-destruct!"

The surrounding onlookers all shouted, each of them retreating in fright. A cultivator’s self-destruction meant releasing all of one’s cultivation in a single moment, and its lethality was tremendously horrifying!

That was equivalent to the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, only that Zhou Heng would be left completely drained after one use, while others would be annihilated!

The self-destruction of a Two Wheels Moonlight Emperor was undeniably terrifying!

Did Fu Wenbo truly wish to self-destruct?

Impossible, no one felt they’ve lived enough! Fu Wenbo was bluffing Zhou Heng, trying to make him retreat, and he would naturally cancel the self-destruction once pushed back—of course, if forced into a corner, he had no choice but to self-destruct and drag Zhou Heng down with him.

"You don’t have a say!" Zhou Heng, with a step of the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, maximized his movement technique and instantly closed the gap on Fu Wenbo. The Black Sword swung out, and with a spurt, a head flew and hot blood sprayed!

Fu Wenbo, fallen! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
