Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 195 - 188: Maowo Mountain (4/5)

Chapter 195: Chapter 188: Maowo Mountain (4/5)

"I only need one person to lead the way!" Zhou Heng said indifferently, "You have only one chance!"

The bandits were slightly stunned, none of them spoke up, their leader was well aware that these underlings were a significant vulnerability. Thus, the punishment for betraying their fellows was extremely cruel.

Not only would they die, but their families would suffer as well!

Moreover, they weren’t even privy to the location of the main stockade; Maowo Mountain held only one bandit gang, massively numbered, and they were merely subordinates of a branch stockade.

Pa!

Zhou Heng pointed a finger, and instantly a bandit fell, a blood hole on his forehead, his brain oozing out.

"My patience is limited!" His voice was icy. None of the bandits were innocent of innocent bloodshed, so he had no hesitation in killing them.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

One by one, the bandits fell. Zhou Heng seemed indifferent to slaughtering them all; he could always find another batch to interrogate.

"I’ll lead the way! I’ll lead the way!" Finally, a bandit couldn’t bear it any longer, watching his companions fall one by one, and knowing this would be his fate too. Few could remain steadfast.

"I’ll lead too!"

"Me! Me! Me!"

With one person breaking, the wills of others crumbled as well, and they started calling out.

"One is enough!" With a thought from Zhou Heng, except for the first one who said he’d lead the way, the remaining four all died as their hearts burst.

"Predecessor, I only know the location of the branch stockade, not the main stockade!" the man said tremblingly.

"Lead the way!" Zhou Heng said impatiently. Once at the branch stockade, naturally someone would know the main stockade’s location, this was following the vine to get to the melon.

"Yes! Yes!" the man hastily led the way, navigating through the mountains. With dense fog enveloping the area, he, being only at Body Refinement Realm, dared not move too quickly for fear of accidentally falling off a cliff to his death!

Zhou Heng grabbed him and merely let him indicate the direction, his form darting like the wind.

Half an hour later, they entered a very concealed valley, which was a branch stockade of the Maowo Mountain bandits.

Zhou Heng’s gaze swept over, only to see not flags on the three flagpoles outside the stockade, but a series of naked human bodies, men and women, old and young, all turned into mummies.

He casually tossed, and the bandit in his hand shot out like an arrow, crashing forcefully through seven houses before falling to the ground, reduced to a heap of mush.

A death not worth pitying!

"Enemy attack!"

"Damn it, who dares to launch a sneak attack!"

"Take him down!"

In the midst of noisy clamor, hundreds of bandits rushed out from various houses, some still disheveled, probably having been resting but were roused out.

"Hey, there are pretty girls!"

"Damn it, that one on the left, that slut with the big breasts, definitely a thrill to touch!"

"Clearly a whore begging for it. Brothers, after we finish off that lad, our fortunes will rise!"

Seeing Xiao Huoshui and Orchid Concubine, the bandits were blinded by lust, ignoring the might of the previous human arrow, and started to lustfully target the two women.

"Hmph!" Zhou Heng swung his hand, and a terrifying force swept over. Pa! Pa! Pa! Every heart burst, and over a hundred people died cleanly. He looked towards a corner of the stockade and shouted, "Do I need to personally invite you out?"

"Why must you be so aggressive, sir?" a topless man strode out from the stockade, holding in his hand a nearly naked long-haired woman. Her long black hair hung down obscuring her face, clad only in a tube top and shorts that revealed her pale, enticing thighs, sleek and shimmering.

"I wish to go to your main stockade, lead the way!" Zhou Heng spoke indifferently.

"Lad, our main stockade isn’t so easily accessed!" the man used the woman he held as a shield. "Our Great Stockade Leader is a Big Shot in the Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven, I advise you to cherish your life!"

"Here, you can have this woman!" He swung his hand, and the woman he was holding immediately flew towards Zhou Heng. "Ah—" she shrieked in a fright.

Whoosh, the man also lunged forward, wielding a red long sword that churned up a bloody wind towards Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng reached out his hand, and the thrown woman immediately rolled back towards him, while he met the man’s descending sword with a right punch.

"Die—" the man shouted, hacking with both hands, intending to slice Zhou Heng in half!

Just then, the woman who appeared to be a victim suddenly moved gracefully, her hand now wielding a shimmering blue dagger, stabbing rapidly towards Zhou Heng’s neck.

It was a conspiracy!

Bang!

Zhou Heng casually unleashed a punch with his left hand, the woman had no chance to resist and was blown away. Her body flew three meters before inexplicably exploding into a mist of blood.

The man suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyeballs nearly popping out!

He and that woman were the leaders of this branch stockade, their cultivation levels and battle powers closely matched. But if she was blown apart by Zhou Heng with a single punch while under the premise of an ambush, what was he in comparison!

Approaching him was simply seeking death!

"How, how did you know this was a trap?" he wondered, unable to figure it out. Where had he and the woman revealed any flaws?

"I don’t know!" Zhou Heng shook his head. These two were merely at the Initial Separation Realm, he didn’t need to take them seriously at all. Any plot was utterly useless in the face of absolute power. If the woman was a victim, he would save her. If she was an enemy, then a punch would blow her apart.

It was that simple.

The man watched Zhou Heng in fear. A punch that blew away a companion at the Initial Separation Realm was undoubtedly the strength of a Land Cleaving Realm expert!

With a difference of one Great Realm, it was absolute domination, he couldn’t even escape!

"Lead the way!" Zhou Heng said indifferently, his voice not loud but carrying an irresistible authority.

"Yes!"

In the face of absolute power, the man dared not resist at all, for it would mean certain death! Such an enemy was not something he could contend with. However, among the main stockade leaders, several were also at the Land Cleaving Realm, and with as many as five Stockade Masters, they were more than enough to suppress this man.

That was why he dared lead Zhou Heng to the main stockade; otherwise, just thinking about the cruel methods of those leaders, he would rather die than betray them.

Sometimes, death was indeed a release.

The four people, one leading and three following, moved through the serpentine mountain paths. After almost half a day, they finally arrived at a large village.

"Eh, isn’t that Old Brother Sima? You actually brought back such valuable goods. You’re sure to be richly rewarded!" A burly man with a scar from his left eye to the corner of his mouth, making him look fierce, just walked out from the village.

He ogled the breasts and buttocks of Xiao Huoshui and Orchid Concubine with a fiery gaze, and was about to grab them.

Bang!

Zhou Heng kicked out, and the man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back over twenty feet, landing dead.

Death was more than deserved!

"Damn, you dare to be fierce here, tired of living!" someone in the village shouted loudly upon witnessing the scene. Soon, over a hundred furious faces gathered at the village entrance.

"Sima Hall, what is going on here!" At that moment, a red-haired man arrived, his face dark with a chilling aura.

Land Cleaving Realm!

"Greeting the Fifth Stockade Master!" everyone bowed in greeting.

The man leading Zhou Heng quickly said with a trembling voice, "This man wants to see the Stockade Master!"

"And you brought him here?" the red-haired man asked with murderous intent.

"Don’t trouble him anymore!" Zhou Heng interjected, lifting his hand to slap, the man’s eyes bulged and he collapsed on the ground, life extinguished. "After all, you are all going to die!"

"Haha!" the red-haired man sneered, "Big talk! Who do you think you are? Zhang Tianyu?"

Zhang Tianyu was the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family and the sole Open Heaven Realm expert in the vicinity of Maowo Mountain. By bringing him up, the red-haired man was obviously mocking Zhou Heng. Being at the same Land Cleaving Realm, he could clearly sense the similarity in Zhou Heng’s aura.

He was stronger than him, but three other Stockade Masters in the village also reached the Land Cleaving Third Layer Heaven. Couldn’t three of them handle this boy?

Defeat was easy, but killing was hard!

Luckily, they had several hideouts; this village was just one of their lairs, easily abandoned if Zhou Heng exposed it. Naturally, it would be best if they could kill him.

Hehe, this kid brought two female companions, what a fool. It would be easy to take them as hostages! Even if Zhou Heng walked away, they’d still have two gorgeous captives to play with!

Zhou Heng smiled faintly, "Where is Miss Lu, hand her over!"

"Haha, you really are suave, aren’t you? As if two beauties weren’t enough, now you’re after Miss Lu?" the red-haired man laughed, pointing at Xiao Huoshui and Orchid Concubine, "This is a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice; I’m taking these two women!"

With a long howl, the man signaled to the village. He alone couldn’t handle Zhou Heng, so he needed to call on the other four Stockade Masters above him.

Soon after, whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, four figures flew in, three men and one woman. The only woman appeared to be in her thirties, a voluptuous and sexy woman in a semi-transparent long dress that barely concealed her curves.

"Greetings to the Stockade Masters!" all greeted.

"What a handsome young brother!" the voluptuous woman giggled, causing her bosom to heave visibly, the tips of her breasts clearly outlined. She crooked a finger and said, "Young man, why don’t you join our stockade as the Sixth Stockade Master? Your sister will make sure you’re well-fed!"

She provocatively glanced at Xiao Huoshui and Orchid Concubine. Beautiful women are each other’s worst enemies. Her strategy against women who were prettier than her was to eliminate them!

"I’ll say this once, hand over Miss Lu!" Zhou Heng acted as if he hadn’t seen anything.

"Do you really think you are a peerless expert?" one of the Stockade Masters shouted, reaching out to grab Zhou Heng. (To be continued.
