Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 143 - 138: Forcing You to Bow Down (1/4)

Executing the Swift Cloud Radiant Step to its limits, Liu Qingxuan’s palm-chop descended, and Zhou Heng’s figure shattered into pieces, but it was because his speed was so rapid that he left an afterimage in his place!

"For the second time!" Zhou Heng’s expression was cold and unyielding, and without any hesitation, he grabbed Liu Yue’s remaining arm, yanking and snapping it off!

"Ah——" Liu Yue, having just been knocked unconscious by pain, was now jolted awake, tears and snot streaming down uncontrollably.

"Junior, you’re ruthless, let go of my son, and I promise not to trouble you for three years!" Liu Qingxuan suppressed his rage. Now he could still reattach Liu Yue’s arms, but if too much time passed and the meridians in the severed limbs died, then his son would indeed be crippled for life.

"No need for three years, I am right here, come at me if you dare!" Zhou Heng had already opposed a Heaven-Opening Realm expert, what else was there to fear, "Old cripple, apologize to me!"

"What!" Liu Qingxuan nearly burst with anger. How could a Heaven-Opening Realm dignitary apologize to a Junior in the Initial Separation Realm, could he bear it?

"Are you deaf?" Zhou Heng said coldly.

"Junior!" Nangong Changkong suddenly struck. He was now aligned with Liu Qingxuan, and if Liu Qingxuan apologized to Zhou Heng, it would be like he, too, had been violently slapped across the face.

Swift Cloud Radiant Step!

Zhou Heng quickly dodged, his face brimming with murderous intent, as he seized Liu Yue’s right leg, a sickening crack sounding as the bones were twisted and broken before being torn from the body.

By now, Liu Yue had ceased his agonized screams, the severe blood loss bringing him close to death.

Liu Qingxuan was anxiously furious and heart-broken as he said in disbelief: "I haven’t laid a hand on you, why harm my son!"

"He’s with you, and him attacking is equal to you attacking!" Zhou Heng said offhandedly.

"Junior!" Nangong Changkong’s face was filled with a deadly air. He had tried to attack Zhou Heng more than once by now, but this junior in the Initial Separation Realm had an almost divinely predestined movement technique, managing to thwart his attacks repeatedly.

"Nangong, stop!" Liu Qingxuan stepped in front of Nangong Changkong, Liu Yue was his only son, and he hadn’t even held a grandchild in his arms yet, how could he let his son die?

Although he also loathed Zhou Heng to the bone, Zhou Heng had proven that even those in the Heaven-Opening Realm couldn’t harm him! At least, he would need to set up a strategic layout first to negate Zhou Heng’s advantage in movement technique.

But now, with Zhou Heng holding a hostage, how could he dare to trap him anymore?

Great, now even Liu Qingxuan was against himself!

In terms of power, Nangong Changkong was ranked first among the four Heaven-Opening Realm experts of the Heavenly Star Sect, but he wasn’t so strong that he could take on three at once! Therefore, when Liu Qingxuan stepped in to block him, he decisively backed off with his arms behind him, his face showing his displeasure.

"Junior, I apologize to you!" Liu Qingxuan’s face flushed red.

What a huge humiliation! What a huge disgrace! It was a massive sorrow to grovel before a Junior in the Initial Separation Realm!

Zhou Heng sneered, "That really lacks sincerity! But who am I to disrespect my elders, I’ll return this idiot to you!" He casually tossed Liu Yue towards Liu Qingxuan.

Respect the old and honor the virtuous?

Everyone felt as though thunder was rolling in the sky; when had this man ever shown respect for his elders? He had now offended two of the Heavenly Star Sect’s four Heaven-Opening Realm Old Ancestors, his ability to stir up trouble was truly unrivaled!

But he was not relying on a Heaven-Opening Realm father-in-law behind back; instead, it was his own strength that compelled Liu Qingxuan to bow his head, an achievement that couldn’t help but command respect!

After the news of today’s events spread, Zhou Heng’s reputation was sure to rise to another level!

Liu Qingxuan caught his son, already holding Liu Yue’s three severed limbs, he didn’t even spare Zhou Heng a glance before leaping away immediately to reattach his son’s limbs.

Even if he could reattach them, there would still be differences. The shorter the time, the more nimble the limbs would be, otherwise, it would inevitably affect the future development in the Martial Path.

With Liu Qingxuan gone, Nangong Changkong was left facing two against one, putting him at a disadvantage. He managed his loss well, taking a deep look at Zhou Heng before whirling away with his movement technique.

"Many thanks to the two seniors for your righteous aid!" Zhou Heng turned around and gave a bow to Xiao Yuheng and Tian Junzi.

Xiao Yuheng let out a weird cackle and said, "Your movement technique is not bad, kid. Even if we hadn’t intervened, you would have easily escaped! Speaking of which, I should be thanking you for making Liu Qingxuan suffer that much! Ah, I’ve long wanted to kill his son, but since I also have descendants here, I had to hold back!"

He actually showed a look of regret.

"Old Man should leave as well!" With a leap, Xiao Yuheng also soared away into the sky.

"Zhou Heng, how about it, will you consider becoming my disciple?" Tian Junzi was now even more fond of Zhou Heng. The youngster was courageous and strategic, never hesitating to be ruthless when necessary, a perfect fit for his liking.

"I must disappoint the senior once again; I really have no intention of taking a master!" Zhou Heng said with a clasped hand bow.

"Sigh," Heavenly Monarch breathed out a sigh of regret. However, his eyes quickly lit up with divine light, "A good disciple is just like a beauty. It’s nothing special if they’re too easy to win over. I will not give up!"

With that said, this last Open Heaven Realm expert also sprang up and left.

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment. Just now, although he seemed imposing and forced an Open Heaven Realm expert to bow before him, it was not because his strength had truly reached a level where he could make those of the Open Heaven Realm bend the knee.

Enhance cultivation level!

He clenched his fists, his longing for strength becoming even stronger.

"Young Master Zhou—," Shi Yuluo hurried over before Zhou Heng could leave. She was still without a stitch on her body, and as she ran, her twin peaks bounced uncontrollably, inducing a tidal wave of motion with a continuous jingling sound.

"Please take me in!" She looked pitifully at Zhou Heng, pushing her chest out and up, making her jade peaks appear even more erect, while her plump rear rose slightly, forming a seductive curve with her waist.

She had a good idea. Although Zhou Heng seemed to have offended two Open Heaven Realm experts, three more of the same realm were supporting him. Moreover, his potential for growth was frighteningly immense. Following by his side would definitely bring great fortune!

"You’ve miscalculated!" Zhou Heng said coldly, then turned around and left the courtyard.

This kind of woman, even if given away for free, he wouldn’t touch!

A few minutes later, Zhou Heng returned to the inn.

He didn’t want to leave just yet; he still had a score to settle with Orchid Concubine. But too much commotion had been stirred up tonight; it was inadvisable to visit the Imperial Palace again. That woman would get one more day’s reprieve from him. Tomorrow night, he would go and settle her!

Knock, knock, knock!

Zhou Heng had not yet settled in for the night when the door of the other courtyard sounded. He was slightly taken aback; who could be visiting at this late hour?

He walked over and opened the courtyard door, only to see a woman, her body cloaked in a cape, standing gracefully at the door. Although the cloak was somewhat loose, one could easily discern her appealing figure, which was enticing enough to set anyone’s heart and desires ablaze at a glance.

This was undoubtedly a naturally seductive woman. He hadn’t even seen her face, but just the hint of her figure spawned countless fantasies!

"Young Master Zhou, it’s truly not easy to get an audience with you!" the woman said with a charming smile, drawing back her hood to reveal a head of hair as soft as clouds and a pale face that seemed happy yet annoyed.

Her enchanting eyes were watery, exuding a bewitching charm and enticement deep to the bone, as if a mere glance from her could make one feel a little hand scratching at their heart.

In terms of appearance, she was on par with Lin Fuxiang and An Yumei, yet the enchantment she exuded far surpassed even An Yumei.

She truly was a demon crafted to bewitch down to her very bones!

"Madam Xiao?" Zhou Heng somewhat affirmed, for there probably wasn’t a second woman in the entire Imperial Capital with such an enchanting charm.

"I am precisely Xiao Huoshui!" the enchantress said with a pursed smile, then showed a hint of grievance, "Won’t Young Master Zhou invite me inside? The cold wind outside is so strong, and my body is frail, I will catch a cold!"

Of course, this was nonsense; with her Initial Separation Realm cultivation, how could she possibly catch a cold?

But her alluring nature made the expression of grievance seem truly pitiable. It had the power to arouse a man’s protective instinct, as well as a strong desire for dominance, longing to see her lying beneath them, begging for mercy.

Zhou Heng was startled and quickly reined in his thoughts. He was sure that this woman did not practice Charming Skills, but she was indeed a natural enchantress. In her presence, even Lv Sue and Kang Min, who strictly practiced Charming Skills, would have to admit defeat.

Charming Skills were fabricated, but her charm was inherent to nature, effortlessly radiating through her every action and getting right under the skin.

"Please!" He let Xiao Huoshui in, this courtesy actually extended to Xiao Yuheng. Although he could have managed the crisis without Xiao Yuheng’s assistance, he felt obliged to acknowledge the favor.

Xiao Huoshui smiled sweetly and together they entered the hall, sitting across from each other at a table. She took off her cloak to reveal a creamy-yellow long dress that traced the contours of her exquisite figure, the curves blazing into an exponential increase of allure.

"Young Master Zhou, I had invited you previously, but why didn’t you reply at all? You left me waiting in my lonely chamber for an entire night!" She said in a tone of plaintive charm, her watery eyes casting a beguiling glance.

Zhou Heng, despite knowing that this seductive woman couldn’t have sincerely waited for him all night, still couldn’t help feeling a surge of pride. Flattery, as they say, gets you everywhere, especially when an exquisite beauty employs such a tone of grievance.

"I might have missed it, overlooked perhaps!" Zhou Heng casually fibbed.

"Ah, you men love to lie," Xiao Huoshui cast Zhou Heng a reproachful look, causing his heart to flutter, "Young Master Zhou, I’ve never been to any foul man’s lodgings before. You were the first—and took my first time!"

Zhou Heng felt aflame, this woman was too beguiling. Merely sitting together with her was a profound test! Even though he knew this woman was promiscuous, he couldn’t shake off a strong possessive urge.

This demoness truly lived up to her name of Huoshui; just a look, an expression, or a plaintive word from her could drive a man wild.

Zhou Heng took a deep breath, forcibly subdued the agitation in his heart, and smiled, "Then how would Madam Xiao like me to compensate her?"

"Naturally with a night of passion, so that I can fully experience Young Master Zhou’s ’sexual prowess’!" she extended a delicate hand, her fingers slender and fair like fresh bamboo, white like snow, smooth as cream.
