Chapter 160: Killing the Three Villains

Who would have thought, if Zhou Heng had not witnessed it himself, he would never believe this conspiracy came from the hands of Liu Yue!

If someone had told him this, he would have certainly scoffed at the idea. How could that simpleton possibly have such intelligence? Clearly, someone was being wrongfully accused!

Indeed, one should never underestimate others!

Fury rose in Zhou Heng’s heart, for what he hated most was someone targeting his family! These three were as good as dead!

With a clang, a maid, frightened out of her wits, had overturned her cup of wine, splashing Ying Bingfeng all over. The maid’s face instantly turned pale with fright, for she knew very well the status of this guest. Even the Emperor had to put on a smile when he saw him.

Slap!

Filled with rage, Ying Bingfeng’s patience was at a breaking point. With one slap, he sent the maid flying and she fell to the ground with a cry, her skirts lifting to reveal two segments of snow-white legs.

Gulp, Ying Bingfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lust burning fiercely in his eyes, and immediately he went over, starting to undo his belt, actually preparing to take her then and there in public.

In fact, he was not usually such a lecher, but who could stay composed after seeing Xiao Huoshui—and today, his pent-up frustrations had been suppressed by anger. Now, faced with stimulation, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Yue Hu, following suit, also grabbed a maid and stripped her naked in the blink of an eye.

A look of envy flashed across Liu Yue’s face. Not long ago, he was drinking fine wines and playing with beautiful women, but now? His virility destroyed, all he could do was watch others strut their stuff.

All of this was caused by Zhou Heng!

His gaze suddenly filled with bitter resentment, and with a snap, the wine glass in his hand shattered, breaking into thousands of fragments.

"Zhou Heng, you must die!" Liu Yue said hatefully.

"Delusional idiot!"

Bang!

A wall was suddenly blasted open and Zhou Heng strode in, unleashing his formidable aura. The maids, still unsure of what had happened, were instantly knocked out by the shock.

"Zhou... Zhou Heng!"

Liu Yue was the first to cry out in surprise, followed by Ying Bingfeng and Yue Hu, who were still wrapped around the waists of their women, ready to mount them. They abruptly stopped, turning to look at Zhou Heng, and due to the shock, their private parts shrank like peanuts.

"Get out of here!" Ying Bingfeng quickly covered himself with both hands—people are strange creatures. He was just hardened in front of Liu Yue and Yue Hu, ready to mount the woman, but now he suddenly became bashful.

"After I kill you all, I will naturally leave," Zhou Heng said, brimming with killing intent.

The trio of Ying Bingfeng was startled—they had never imagined Zhou Heng was bold enough to come to the inn to kill in broad daylight! Moreover, since there had already been a big battle in the evening, they could not fathom that Zhou Heng would come again in the middle of the night.

"Split up and run!" Ying Bingfeng made the decision on the spot. The three of them together still weren’t a match for Zhou Heng—fighting head-on was not sensible.

"You think you can run?" Zhou Heng had already struck, executing the Swift Cloud Radiant Step. His fist was aimed directly at Liu Yue.

This despicable person was the lowest of the low and had even dared to plot and scheme against Zhou Dinghai—he had to die!

"Young Master Ying, save me!" Liu Yue hastily cried out, rapidly retreating.

Yet in the face of the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, what could he do, a mere Initial Separation Realm against Zhou Heng’s speed—even an Open Heaven Realm was not qualified to compete with Zhou Heng. As soon as Liu Yue moved, Zhou Heng’s fist had already struck.

Against the crushing power of a higher Great Realm, what chance did Liu Yue have?

Bang!

A white light flashed, shattered, but Liu Yue was left unscathed.

Forbidden Artifact!

His father was an Open Heaven Realm expert, and he would certainly not skimp on protection for his own son. Having been captured in Thousand Yuan City, it was certain that the forbidden artifacts on him would have been taken away, but having been back for so long, Liu Qingxuan would certainly have bestowed another upon him.

However, not only does creating a forbidden artifact require at least an Open Heaven Realm expert to barely manage the process, but the materials used are also exceptionally rare; they could never be mass-produced, otherwise, they would serve as commonplace Magic Artifacts.

Liu Yue had a forbidden artifact on him, but only one, with limited uses.

"No one can save you!" Zhou Heng declared, his killing intent blazing. The mere power of the Initial Separation Realm was no longer in his sights, and he did not intend to use the Black Sword, simply striking blow after blow at Liu Yue.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

White light flashed time and again, forming an eggshell-like shield, but it instantly shattered, unable to withstand a single blow! Crafted by Liu Qingxuan, it could muster only the defensive power of the Land Cleaving Realm; how could it resist the force of Zhou Heng?

With each punch landed, Liu Yue spat out blood, the forbidden artifact failing to fully absorb Zhou Heng’s power. The residual effects left him suffering terribly.

Yet, he had no time to concern himself with the pain in his body as the restriction could only be triggered one more time!

He was going to die!

But he didn’t want to die!

Zhou Heng didn’t care about his wishes. He raised his fist, which shone with golden light, transforming into a Golden Holy Fist that he hammered towards Liu Yue’s chest.

Bang!

Another flash of white light, and the defensive shield shattered instantly, while Zhou Heng’s fist paused only slightly before hammering Liu Yue again.

"No—" Liu Yue screamed, but his cry was cut short as he looked incredulously at the arm that hadn’t fully penetrated his chest. Had he eyes on his back, he would have seen the fist emerge from behind him!

He stared blankly at Zhou Heng as his eyes rapidly dimmed, his head drooped, and his Life Fire extinguished.

If he had known it would come to this, would he still have chosen to cross Zhou Heng?

Zhou Heng withdrew his fist. With his Azure Dragon blood circulating, a stream of clear water washed over him, immediately cleansing away the bloodstains, leaving him spotless. The whole process seemed long, but in reality, it took no more than two or three seconds.

That was hardly enough time for Yue Hu and Ying Bingfeng to get far away.

Zhou Heng activated his Swift Cloud Radiant Step, and in one motion caught up with Ying Bingfeng. With a kick of his right leg, Ying Bingfeng tumbled back. Zhou Heng didn’t pause and with his marvelous stepping technique, caught up with Yue Hu.

Bang!

The man also rolled back, colliding with Ying Bingfeng.

Zhou Heng smiled grimly and said, "Did I let you go?"

Ying Bingfeng and Yue Hu didn’t plead for mercy. Zhou Heng had made his intent to kill clear with his actions. Begging for mercy now would only humiliate themselves. They could only hope that someone would arrive in time to save them.

Zhou Heng launched his attack. He was here for an assassination, and the commotion was getting a bit loud, but that didn’t matter—as long as he prevented the two men from calling out his name.

"Zhou—" Ying Bingfeng tried to shout Zhou Heng’s name, but his mouth had barely opened when he was met with a heavy punch from Zhou Heng. His body shone with light, evidently having used up another count of his Forbidden Artifact’s lifesaving uses.

Yue Hu fared even worse; merely at the Initial Separation Realm, he couldn’t even block a single finger from Zhou Heng and only managed to cling to life thanks to the power of his Forbidden Artifact.

But how long could a Forbidden Artifact last?

Zhou Heng summoned his Black Sword, intent on a swift and decisive battle.

He didn’t use the Sky-soaring Nine Forms. With just the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique and bolstered by the sharpness of the Black Sword at the Realm of Momentum, every strike was deadly.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Ying Bingfeng and Yue Hu’s bodies continually flashed with light as their Forbidden Artifacts were rapidly expended. They wanted to run but couldn’t escape. Before the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, they were caught as soon as they moved, then brutally kicked back.

Watching the number of uses on their Forbidden Artifacts dwindling, both showed expressions of despair and unwillingness.

No one wanted to die, especially knowing the time of their own death, counting down the moments with their fingers—that was utter despair. But without the protection of their Forbidden Artifacts, neither could be a match for Zhou Heng.

"Ahh—" Yue Hu let out a miserable scream as he was bisected by the Black Sword. His Life Essence Qi was completely absorbed, and he dropped dead!

—Even Forbidden Artifacts varied in quality. The Old Ancestor of the Yue Family was but a figure from the Mountains and Rivers Realm, so naturally, the number of times his artifact could be used was extremely limited compared to Ying Bingfeng, who likely had a Spirit Sea Realm Expert craft his. It could withstand attacks even from those of the Land Cleaving Realm or the Mountains and Rivers Realm!

However, these were only delaying Ying Bingfeng’s inevitable demise. Every attack that could be lethal to him triggered the Forbidden Artifact, and as such an artifact, its limited number of uses was a fatal weakness.

"Zhou Heng, you will not escape the law! A Big Shot of my Ying Family will surely claim your head!" Ying Bingfeng struck out recklessly, finally earning the chance to utter his last words, but unfortunately, Zhou Heng had sealed the space around him, preventing the sound from escaping.

"If the Ying Family dares to trouble me, I won’t mind erasing the Ying Family from Bright Moon Country!" Zhou Heng said with a cold sneer, his words carrying a convincing power.

His current strength was incomparable to that of the Ying Family, but they couldn’t handle his astonishing potential—someday, he would grow strong enough to make even the Ying Family tremble!

"Futile thoughts!" Ying Bingfeng refused to die passively, launching frenzied attacks. The Ying Family had men who fought until their last drop of blood, not cowards who kneeled to their deaths. "My Ying Family has unparalleled genius Ying Cheng’en. No matter how monstrous you are, you can’t beat him!"

"That Magic Sound Bell is his. You’ve taken his treasure; he will surely come for you!"

"Zhou Heng, you’re already dead, just a few days later than me!"

"Ha ha ha, I’ll wait for you in Hell!"

Ying Bingfeng entered a state of complete madness. Some people crumble under the pressure of death, others go mad—and Ying Bingfeng was clearly the latter.

"Go to hell!" Zhou Heng had no interest in arguing. The Black Sword swept through, each Sword Waterfall triggering the Forbidden Artifact on Ying Bingfeng, hastening its depletion.

With a slash and a spray of Blood Light, when Zhou Heng struck the final blow, no protective aura rose to shield Ying Bingfeng; he was cut in two at the waist by the Black Sword!

His life force severed instantly!

A flicker of longing for life passed through Ying Bingfeng’s eyes, then quickly faded to emptiness as Bright Moon Country’s prestigious young master closed the curtain on his life.
