Chapter 211 - 204: Killing Each Other (5/5)
Chapter 211: Chapter 204: Killing Each Other (5/5)
Yanghu City, holding a status equivalent to Tianhang City in the Cold Blue Country, is also considered a mega-city, and the Huang Family is the prominent clan there.
Because the Martial Path levels in Dayuan Country are higher than in Cold Blue Country, there are clans in Yanghu City at the Heaven-Opening Realm, among which the Huang Family is the most dominant, accustomed to dictating orders and displaying their tyranny.
"Hmph, Huang Family, Green Family, never heard of them!" Tang Wan was equally full of pride, his right hand, after such long nurturing with Spiritual Power, was barely connected and no longer bleeding, but its movements were nowhere as agile as usual.
Fury flashed across the young man from the Huang Family at those words, his expression turned cold, displaying fierce murderous intent, "Boy, disaster comes from the mouth, are you seeking your own death?"
"A fight it shall be!" Tang Wan instantly retorted. Humans always face restraints against demon beasts of the same realm, but when facing another Martial Artist, they were confident of never losing.
"Then let me show you the consequences of your arrogance!" The young man from the Huang Family lunged forward, attacking Tang Wan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two fiercely battled, with no protective formations around, dirt and rocks flew everywhere, forming murky clouds of dust that shaped into bizarre forms.
In Dayuan Country, the Huang Family could be regarded as a second-tier prominent clan, but now in the Wildfire Marsh, countless Martial Path noble families and sect experts had gathered. Some were even heirs of the top-tier clans of Dayuan Country, and many were outstanding figures from neighboring states; who would know or care about the reputation of the Huang Family?
Undoubtedly, Tang Wan was such a person. He was not from Dayuan Country, but his background was in no way inferior to that of the Huang Family, hence he was fearless.
As the two fought spiritedly, Zhou Heng felt utterly bored watching them. Setting aside the fact that his Cultivation Level was two Great Realms higher, even just considering the Realm of Momentum he mastered made the fight seem uninteresting, as he had integrated the strengths of a hundred families, transforming complexity into simplicity, and stepped onto a new level of skill.
A step further was to integrate thousands of skills within one, ascending to the height of the Domain!
However, the concept of Domain had always been no more than a legend; Zhou Heng had never witnessed anyone demonstrating it, which left him without a direction to advance.
—Previously, he had at least seen nine Silver Men displaying the Realm of Momentum in the Heart Net Hall, giving him a reference, but to deduce the Domain out of nowhere was immensely challenging, and he did not know how many more years it might take.
Tang Wan’s strength was not inferior to the young man from the Huang Family, but his disadvantage was in having his right hand bitten by a Three-tailed Crocodile earlier, affecting his Battle Power! In a battle of otherwise equal strength, his weakness soon became apparent, and within a hundred moves, he was defeated.
"Not worth mentioning!" The young man from the Huang Family stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of arrogance and disdain.
Furious, Tang Wan felt like vomiting blood, but defeat was defeat. Even if he argued that he had been injured beforehand, it would only be seen as a sore loser’s excuse! Just like the battle at the Spirit Stone Mine, everyone knew that Li Aobo was stronger than Zhou Heng, but a loss was a loss, even Li Aobo himself admitted it.
"Who else wants to spar with me?" The young man from the Huang Family smirked, not taking Zhou Heng and his group seriously at all.
"Hmph, I will!" Chang Shishi stepped forward, her right hand flickered, and she now wielded a gleaming cold sword, marked by a red imprint in its center, looking like a symbol left by fresh blood.
"Haha, even women are stepping forward, are all you men soft-shelled crabs?" The young man from the Huang Family laughed, but his eyes continually roamed over Chang Shishi’s curvaceous figure.
The others from the Huang Family also laughed. Their group was large and even had Land Cleaving Realm experts in reserve, naturally confident of victory, so at this moment, they were merely toying with Tang Wan and the others.
"Less nonsense, isn’t your mother a woman too!" Chang Shishi shot back and sprang forward, her long sword swinging, instantly lashing out dozens of white Sword Qi, among them one was blood-red, like the king and commander among the Sword Qi.
"Hmph!"
The young man from the Huang Family snorted coldly, his right hand now also holding a Short Blade, he advanced towards Chang Shishi.
Clang clang clang, blade clashing against blade, and the two once again fought fiercely.
In terms of strength, they were evenly matched, but the young man from the Huang Family had just fought a battle and spent a considerable amount of Spiritual Power. When faced with a formidable foe like Chang Shishi, after a hundred hard exchanges, he started to show signs of faltering.
Chang Shishi grew more vigorous with battle. She flicked her sword tip, shaking out seven sword flowers, followed by thousands of Sword Qi, and unleashed her strongest strike!
This strike could absolutely decide the outcome!
"Ah—" But at that moment, she suddenly stalled, her expression turning pale as if she had become stunned!
The young man from the Huang Family wouldn’t miss this opportunity to turn defeat into victory, instantly reaching out towards Chang Shishi’s left shoulder, Boom, Chang Shishi staggered back over thirty steps.
A blur of flowers flashed by, the clothes on Chang Shishi’s chest suddenly became fragmented and fluttered away with the wind, exposing her smooth, jade-like bust. The twin peaks seemed slightly underdeveloped but were still enticingly sexy; however, in between the two peaks was an extremely eerie, bright red handprint.
"Wow!" Chang Shishi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the blood traces hanging from the corner of her lips, adding an even more harrowing beauty.
What was going on?
She had clearly had the upper hand, so how could she suddenly lose? And even though the young man from the Huang Family had clearly hit Chang Shishi’s shoulder, why was there a palm imprint on her chest?
Shadowless Palm?
Chang Shishi hurriedly took a piece of clothing from her Space Artifact to cover her chest. She could not possibly change clothes in front of everyone; she was so anxious that she even began to cry. Already wounded, her anger and anxiety caused her to spurt out another mouthful of blood.
Those who could reach the Initial Separation Realm were by no means fools, not to mention that Zhao Hanyu and his four companions all came from prestigious families with significant experience!
They immediately thought that there must have been an expert from the Huang Family hidden among their party, secretly striking to injure Chang Shishi, thus giving her opponent the chance to turn defeat into victory!
Despicable! Shameless!
But they did not voice such accusations, understanding that the ease with which Chang Shishi was injured wasn’t just a matter of being one or two minor realms stronger; it was an outright suppression in terms of level!
Land Cleaving Realm!
Of course, it could also be the Open Heaven Realm, but would an expert in the Open Heaven Realm really engage in such games with numerous juniors from the Initial Separation Realm? Besides, all seven members of the Huang family were very young; how could they have someone that young in the Open Heaven Realm?
Tang Wan, Lv Ruzhi, and Qi Tan were stunned. The forces behind them also had experts in the Land Cleaving Realm, even the Open Heaven Realm, but how could they bring them forth now? The world of martial artists was starkly realistic; if you are weaker, you must bow down!
"You trying to be flirty in front of so many people, girl? Hahaha, come here, let big brother take good care of you!" A young man from the Huang family said vulgarly.
"Shut up!" Zhao Hanyu stepped forward, drawing her sword and positioning herself in front of Chang Shishi, her face full of righteous indignation. "You’re going way too far!"
"Mingzhi, don’t create unnecessary complications. Let’s focus on the main issue!" At that moment, another voice came from the members of the Huang family. It was a refined-looking young man, seemingly inconspicuous, but Zhou Heng clearly knew that he was the one who had just struck Chang Shishi.
Indeed, appearances could be deceiving, that man seemed civilized and well-mannered, yet his attack was particularly vicious, indicating a likely dark and sinister mind.
"Yes!" The young man from the Huang family hurriedly nodded his head respectfully. Surpassing him by a whole major realm, he would have to show respect even if they were real brothers. He looked toward Zhou Heng and said, "Boy, hand over the Nine Moon Wind Fruit!"
Zhou Heng showed a slight smile, "Want it? Then come and get it yourself!"
He would not intervene on behalf of Chang Shishi or Tang Wan, but if those people foolishly offended him directly, he would not mind striking them down!
Flies, after all, are best swatted one at a time, lest they spoil the surroundings!
"Haha!" The young man known as Huang Mingzhi laughed loudly, then looked towards Tang Wan, Qi Tan, and Lv Ruzhi, and said, "You three, snatch the Nine Moon Wind Fruit for me! There are three Spirit Fruits; each of you grab one. If anyone fails, I will have him swim with the Three-tailed Crocodiles!"
He pointed to the nearby marshy waters, where two Three-tailed Crocodiles floated like logs not too far away.
Tang Wan and the others exchanged glances; despite their intense anger, their feet involuntarily moved.
They were furious from being ordered around by Huang Mingzhi. After all, which of them wasn’t a young elite in their respective families and sects, greatly valued? As for Zhou Heng, what was he to them? How did it matter if they wronged him?
"Don’t listen to him, he just wants us to kill each other!" Zhao Hanyu yelled, but she could not leave Chang Shishi, so she could only look angry and helpless.
"Hanyu sister, the moment they make a move, let’s run!" Chang Shishi whispered to Zhao Hanyu. She didn’t believe that the Huang family would let them go! Perhaps they wouldn’t die immediately, but their fate would be even more miserable, subjected to every humiliation imaginable.
Zhao Hanyu abruptly turned back, her face flashing with unwillingness.
Known for her chivalrous spirit, equivalent to a warrior among women, she was no fool and knew full well that the Huang family was merely playing cat and mouse and would never let them go. Frustratingly, they both could see this, yet Tang Wan and the others still indulged in vain hopes.
"Zhou Heng, hand over the Nine Moon Wind Fruit!" Tang Wan and the other two surrounded Zhou Heng, their faces fierce and menacing.
As the proud scions of heaven, they had never suffered such humiliation and were noticeably frustrated, but they couldn’t beat the people from the Huang family, so they could only direct their anger at Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng shook his head with a chuckle, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Hmph, what are you!"
"Then don’t regret it later!" Zhou Heng smiled faintly.
"Toast not drunk is toast that incurs penalty, seize him!" Tang Wan and the others made their move, pressing towards Zhou Heng.
Currently full of rage, they hardly minded using heavy-handed tactics to cripple Zhou Heng; he had brought it upon himself by not obediently following orders!
Zhou Heng made his move with his right hand shaped as a palm, slapping towards the faces of the three with a speed not particularly fast, allowing everyone to see clearly. However, it seemed as if Tang Wan and the others had intentionally presented themselves to be struck.
Slap, slap, slap, three crisp slap sounds rang out, and Tang Wan and the others were spun around on the spot, their faces marked with vivid palm prints. (To be continued.
