Chapter 139 - 134 Banging Head Against the Wall (5/5)

Chapter 139: Chapter 134 Banging Head Against the Wall (5/5)

Shi Yuluo cast a glance of plea for help towards Han Tao and the others, but they all avoided her gaze. Even Luo Runtian showed no intention of stepping forward, instead being the first to move his feet and retreat out of the house.

Heavenly Star Sect, Heaven-Opening Realm—these were like a huge boulder pressing down on other sects. Who could bear such weight?

The feeling of sadness surged from deep within Shi Yuluo, but she knew all too well that Liu Yue would do as he said. If she was destined to be played by the other party, why not work it to her own advantage? Her hand involuntarily moved toward her neck; the pressure of the Heaven-Opening Realm was too much to bear.

"Hahaha!"

Just then, a burst of laughter erupted abruptly.

"What the fuck are you laughing at!" Liu Yue suddenly flew into a rage, glaring fiercely at Zhou Heng; he had long found this kid displeasing to the eye, always acting like some peerless expert, treating him with utter indifference!

He wasn’t foolish either, avoiding conflict with Zhou Heng halfway through, but had already decided to have people take care of Zhou Heng harshly after returning to the Imperial Capital.

Zhou Heng shook his head, sighed, and said, "I’ve seen many shameless and despicable people, but compared to you, they could all become saints! You really live up to the surname Liu, truly shameless and vile!"

"You, you dare to curse me?" Liu Yue instantly flared up; how many people had ever dared to curse him? He had grown up being coddled by experts from the Heaven-Opening Realm as if he was half a Heaven-Opening Realm expert himself!

"She came from thousands of miles away, risking her life to save you, and this is how you repay her?" Zhou Heng’s expression suddenly turned icy.

If these words were to fall on a normal person, they would surely turn red with shame and be too embarrassed to show their face. But in Liu Yue’s bizarre set of values, there was no concept of shame; such words were lost on him.

"I am your master; even if you lose your lives, you should come to save me! I am the master, you are the servants, all that you have belongs to me; what ’repayment’? Have you lost your mind?" Liu Yue said with a sneer.

In the face of such an oddity, Zhou Heng didn’t even feel like cursing and instead turned to address Han Tao and the others, "And you, is this how you treat your comrade? Watching a companion suffer without even daring to let out a fart, can you still consider yourselves human?"

Han Tao and the others were at a loss for words; they had witnessed Zhou Heng’s might at the Beast Fighting Arena fighting against Jing Tian, and they had seen him swiftly and neatly slay a Martial Artist from the Initial Separation Realm with a single strike. They wouldn’t dare to talk back to him.

Knowing as well that there was an expert from the Heaven-Opening Realm standing behind Zhou Heng! If they were afraid of Liu Yue, then they naturally had no reason not to fear Zhou Heng!

"Fuck, what the hell do you think you are? I am talking to you, did you hear me!" Liu Yue was frantic and bellowed, then turned his head and yelled at Shi Yuluo, "Bitch, get undressed quickly, I’m going to fuck you up until—"

Bang!

Before he could finish his sentence, his head had already been smashed hard into the wall, the act of Zhou Heng suddenly making a move and slapping him into the wall.

Although Liu Yue was a pampered scion, he had a father in the Heaven-Opening Realm and had raised his Cultivation Level to the Initial Separation Realm. The impact seemed severe, but the damage to him was actually minimal. He immediately pulled his head out of the wall.

Looking at Zhou Heng with an expression both fierce and deranged, he laughed angrily, "Very well, very well, you dared to strike me, you’re dead! Absolutely dead! Not just you, but also your family members, all will die!"

A flash of ferocity appeared in Zhou Heng’s eyes; the one thing he hated the most was someone threatening his family!

"Seeking death!" Zhou Heng made another move, grabbing Liu Yue’s neck and fiercely smashing him into the wall again.

"Haha, you’re ruthless, you’re ruthless, but how long can you keep it up!" The wall had a hole in it, but Liu Yue remained unharmed; even if his Spiritual Power was sealed, the Physical Strength of a Martial Artist at the Initial Separation Realm refined by Spiritual Power was immensely powerful.

Zhou Heng gave a grim smile and said, "I hope you can hold out a little longer!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhou Heng started to walk around, smashing Liu Yue’s head into anything he saw.

This Initial Separation Realm body indeed was resilient, but just as water drops could wear away a stone, what about a thousand or ten thousand times?

Blood began to seep out on Liu Yue’s face, immediately making him appear more ferocious. However, this fellow was incredibly arrogant and refused to admit defeat, merely shouting that he would kill Zhou Heng’s entire family, though his voice grew lower and lower.

Han Tao and the others followed along trying to make peace with Zhou Heng; if Liu Yue were truly killed by Zhou Heng, they couldn’t be sure if Zhou Heng would survive, but they would definitely be done for!

Zhou Heng, however, was not listening and walked straight to the edge of the city wall, laughing, "I wonder if you would still be alive after completely smashing this city wall?"

Liu Yue finally showed a look of fear. He had been certain that Zhou Heng wouldn’t dare to do him serious harm because he had a father from the Heaven-Opening Realm behind him! But it seemed that Zhou Heng was even crazier than him, showing no fear at all.

"Zhou Heng—" Han Tao and the others shouted; this could really end in death.

Bang!

As a response, Zhou Heng lifted Liu Yue and smashed him into the city wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Along the way, section after section of the city wall collapsed; by the time one-third of the wall had fallen, Liu Yue was gasping for air more than he was exhaling, like a dying dog, with eyes rolled back and foam spilling from the corners of his mouth.

Chills arose in the hearts of Han Tao and the three others; all of them reminded themselves never to offend Zhou Heng—it appeared he was a madman too!

"Haha, indeed impressive, you’re quite arrogant!" An abrupt voice came from somewhere unknown. Though not very loud, it seemed to penetrate to the heart, involuntarily giving one a sense of cold dread.

A Land Cleaving Realm expert!

Whoosh!

A sword light struck, fast as a shooting star, aiming directly for Zhou Heng’s back.

With the Swift Cloud Radiant Step deployed in a flash, Zhou Heng narrowly dodged the attack, but Liu Yue, who he had been holding, was snatched away in the process. As he turned around, he saw that a robust man in a black outfit, with a piece of black cloth covering his face, had suddenly appeared where he had been standing.

The Masked Man was holding a shining long sword, and on the ground there was a sword mark three zhang long. Even now, one could still sense the deadly aura emanating from the mark; had Zhou Heng been a little slower, he would have been sliced in two!

"Eh, you managed to dodge my strike?" the Masked Man exclaimed in surprise, casually tossing Liu Yue to Han Tao and the others. "You may leave, take him back to the Imperial Capital. As for this one—" He pointed his sword at Zhou Heng, "—he died a heroic death in Thousand Spirit City trying to save Liu Yue! Have you understood?"

"Understood, understood!" Han Tao and the others hurriedly nodded. This was an outright murder, but where would they dare to refuse? The Masked Man was a Land Cleaving expert, who could extinguish their lives with a flick of his hand.

They had already abandoned Shi Yuluo once before; what was so strange now about abandoning Zhou Heng again?

However, Zhou Heng felt disappointed as Shi Yuluo didn’t even look back at him and quickly left with Han Tao and the others.

"Zhou Heng, how does it feel to be betrayed?" The Masked Man didn’t rush to make a move, instead taking the opportunity to taunt him.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, "Only the betrayal of family and friends can truly cause heartache. Those few... They aren’t even worthy of betraying me!" Indeed, even though he had stood up for Shi Yuluo earlier, it was simply because he found Liu Yue disagreeable, not because he had affection for Shi Yuluo.

"Hmph, a dead duck still stiffens its neck!" the Masked Man sneered coldly, his right hand vibrating, sword light chilling to the bone.

He had intended to crush the martial arts genius mentally, but to his dismay, Zhou Heng was completely unaffected, which greatly irked him. With that being the case, he thought, why not just slaughter this brat? The taste of blood was not too bad, after all.

"Just do it, stop wasting words!" Zhou Heng drew the Black Sword, filled only with an intense eagerness to battle. He didn’t care who had sent the attacker; there were just a few suspects from the Imperial Capital, and he intended to deal with each of them in turn!

"You’re courting death!" The Masked Man bellowed, sweeping his long sword in a frenzied attack upon Zhou Heng.

With every slash, it felt like the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting, the sword light reaching up to the First Layer Heaven!

Zhou Heng smiled faintly as the Swift Cloud Radiant Step was executed, darting forward like lightning, directly charging through a flaw in his opponent’s swordsmanship to launch a frontal assault!

—The Masked Man, despite having a Great Realm advantage over Zhou Heng, had not mastered momentum, which meant that his moves were not necessarily impermeable.

"How audacious!" the Masked Man laughed angrily. Regardless, he was a Land Cleaving expert, and for Zhou Heng to face him head-on was a humiliation beyond bearing.

He pushed forward with his left hand, and suddenly an overpowering Vigorous Qi surged forth, vast and unstoppable.

This was a full-force strike from a Land Cleaving Realm expert, strong enough to instantly obliterate any at the Initial Separation Realm, absolutely not to be faced head-on!

Zhou Heng twisted his body, now in front and suddenly behind, attacking the Masked Man from a skewed angle.

The Masked Man was furious. He was an entire Great Realm and two small realms above Zhou Heng, and this should have been utter domination, yet the situation seemed as if the two were equals in battle, with only his significantly greater power forcing Zhou Heng back!

Lucky that no one was witnessing this, or where would his face be?

"Boy, die!" The Masked Man swung his right hand, stirring up sword winds, while his left hand bombarded continuously with palm strikes. His attack patterns were similar to Zhou Heng’s, but he relied not on skillful maneuvers, but rather on his formidable power to suppress Zhou Heng.

Momentum and martial realm were not directly related; it was possible that even experts in the Spirit Sea Realm hadn’t mastered momentum.

The Masked Man finally showcased the might of a Land Cleaving Realm expert, with sword winds billowing and palm strikes overflowing; each blow was terrifyingly powerful, and even the slightest touch would severely wound Zhou Heng!

Despite only being in the first tier of the Land Cleaving Realm, he was a Great Realm plus two small realms higher than Zhou Heng, commanding an absolute advantage in strength.

A thought crossed Zhou Heng’s mind, and he suddenly turned tail and fled.

"Where do you think you’re going!" The Masked Man, now truly enraged, could not allow himself to fail in personally killing Zhou Heng. He leaped into the air, giving chase to Zhou Heng, whoosh whoosh whoosh. Under the moonlit night, two silhouettes—one chasing, the other fleeing—were like bolts of lightning.

How could this kid be so fast?

The Masked Man couldn’t help but feel astonished. After chasing for a full five minutes, he had only managed to close a distance of three zhang! (To be continued.
