Chapter 242: Chapter 232 Terrifying Battle Power (2/3)

In the eyes of the crowd, this was the moment when Zhou Heng was surely expected to excitedly acknowledge his kinship and then, combining the powers of two Mountains and Rivers Realm experts, relentlessly trample over Ying Luotian’s pride, forcing him to leave disgracefully and completing a spectacular turnaround.

Just thinking about it was exhilarating and enviable!

Driving away a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert—if it were themselves, they’d wake up laughing from such a dream!

Zhou Heng, however, furrowed his brow and said, "I have no relation with the Zhao Family!" He resented Zhao Duotian for causing his family to be torn apart. At least until his parents forgave Zhao Duotian, he would definitely not acknowledge any kinship with the Zhao Family!

Oh!

Such a turn of events, everyone was stunned!

Not acknowledging even a Spirit Sea Realm relative? Kid, you’re bold!

It wasn’t just any Spirit Sea Realm—Zhao Duotian and Ying Cheng’en were both exceptional demon spawns, destined to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, and this was not even their final destination!

If they advanced further, it would be the Divine Infant Realm!

On the Xuanqian Continent, the Martial Path had declined, and it had been many years since anyone had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm. The Divine Infant Realm was then considered the pinnacle. To have such a person backing you... and yet you push him out the door?

"Haha, truly worthy of being the nephew of the family head, such arrogance!" Ling Baidong did not get angry. Instead, he burst into laughter, seemingly very appreciative of Zhou Heng.

"Humph, have you finished your idle chit-chat?" Ying Luotian coldly spoke, clearly unwilling to be left out.

"Scram!" Ling Baidong stood with his hands behind his back, full of dominant energy as he coldly commanded Ying Luotian.

Dominant!

Both being from the Mountains and Rivers Realm and yet he dared to directly tell Ying Luotian to get lost—such dominance!

"Ling Baidong, don’t go too far!" Ying Luotian was slightly enraged and embarrassed.

"Your Ying Family bullied others first; you still expect me to give you face?" Ling Baidong burst into laughter, "Ying Luotian, I’m already giving you face by telling you to scram, otherwise I would have beaten you so you’d scram!"

"Miss Han, this is a struggle between the Zhao and Ying Families. Do you still wish to protect this boy?" Ying Luotian, holding back his anger, looked toward Han Yiyao. If she would help him, then together they could force Ling Baidong to retreat.

Han Yiyao frowned slightly, in a difficult position.

Officially, she was Ying Encheng’s fiancée. If she openly switched sides, Ying Encheng would definitely explode in anger, and the entire Ying Family would respond in kind!

The Zhao Family was indeed very powerful, but Zhao Duotian could only counter Ying Encheng, and no one could confront the Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor of the Ying Family. If the two families clashed, it would end with the Zhao Family being obliterated without a doubt.

But siding overtly with Ying Luotian was not a good choice either!

Zhou Heng’s battle power was formidable enough to annihilate Ying Luotian on the spot, which would surely draw out a Spirit Sea Realm expert—most likely Ying Encheng himself, because he would definitely be interested.

No one could fight against Ying Encheng across a Great Realm, because he was such a monster!

Encountering Ying Encheng, Zhou Heng’s defeat wouldn’t just be simple—it would mean death!

They could only try to buy some time!

Han Yiyao looked at Ying Luotian and said, "This person has saved my life twice, I must repay this debt!"

Ying Luotian scoffed repeatedly. Saved twice? What a joke!

You are a Mountains and Rivers expert, and that boy is merely at the Open Heaven Realm; how could he save you? It’s clearly a romantic relationship, and yet you use such a lowly excuse!

He didn’t expose her publicly, because this matter involved the pride of the family. Ying Encheng had to be flawless, and he couldn’t be tarnished in any way. Han Yiyao had to remain spotless and then handed over to Ying Encheng personally to deal with, whether to kill or imprison was not for him to decide.

Leave!

He made up his mind. Both Ling Baidong and Han Yiyao had strength not weaker than his. One-on-one he had no fear, but two-on-one he would certainly lose!

Rather than being defeated and humiliated by the opposition, it was better to leave with some dignity. After all, facing two against one, it was normal for him to back down. A Martial Artist’s face was certainly important, but recognizing the reality was even more crucial.

"Hmph, this grievance today, I will remember!" Ying Luotian dropped a face-saving line, "But the Ying Family will definitely not let this go! The next time we meet, it will be the moment of your Zhao Family’s destruction!"

"Who said you could leave!"

Just then, Zhou Heng blocked Ying Luotian’s path, his tall figure like a deity, radiating infinite authority!

What did this kid mean?

Was he really planning on beating a downed foe? But keep in mind that Ying Luotian wasn’t a downed foe yet, and as the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse; even if Ying Luotian had shown weakness in front of Ling Baidong, he was not someone Zhou Heng could bully!

Mountains and Rivers experts are not to be insulted!

"Boy, are you seeking death?" Ying Luotian could not contain his anger, as even a junior at the Open Heaven Realm dared to flaunt his martial prowess before him.

"Capturing my people, and you think you can just walk away?" Zhou Heng’s expression was cold. Whether it was Ling Baidong or Han Yiyao, both had acted on their own, which was not his wish!

Since he had already killed several people from the Ying Family, why bother being polite? Did he really think letting Ying Luotian hop back lively would calm down the Ying Family?

Time to slay!

Zhou Heng was filled with a murderous aura. Whoever provoked him, he would kill; if he couldn’t kill them now, he would remember and slay them with stronger power later, never sparing anyone!

Ling Baidong showed a trace of displeasure, feeling that this young master was a bit unreasonable and overly arrogant!

What ability does he have to contend with Ying Luotian? In the end, won’t he rely on himself and Han Yiyao to make a move!

If a martial artist bullies others by relying on his status and always seeks external help, then he will never have a promising future!

Only when one is strong on his own, is he truly strong!

Good, let him suffer a little, as long as I am here, Ying Luotian won’t dare kill Zhou Heng.

Compared to Ling Baidong, Han Yiyao deeply knows how much of a freak Zhou Heng is! Her preemptive strike was to cover up Zhou Heng’s strength and numb the Ying Family, buying Zhou Heng more time.

But her unique identity could also bring trouble to Zhou Heng once she takes action!

"Kid, you’re really arrogant!" Ying Luotian said with anger yet laughed, "Ling Baidong, aren’t you going to manage this?"

"Hmph, do you think you have the right to manage how people from the Zhao Family handle matters?" Ling Baidong glared. He didn’t like Zhou Heng, but it was another matter to cause a scene in front of outsiders.

"Then I’ll manage on behalf of the Zhao Family!" Ying Luotian’s gaze turned fierce, and he swung his right hand out towards Zhou Heng.

He knew that Zhou Heng had connections with Ling Baidong and Han Yiyao, and although this palm strike was aimed at Zhou Heng, his divine intent was on guard against these two Mountains and Rivers Realm experts to prevent them from suddenly attacking him.

"Seeking death!" Zhou Heng clenched his right fist and faced Ying Luotian’s strike head-on.

"How daring!" Ying Luotian was almost furious to death, how could a mere Open Heaven Realm junior dare to clash with him directly? Where did he get such courage?

Having confirmed that Zhou Heng indeed had blood relations with the Zhao Family, he indeed did not dare kill Zhou Heng— at least not while Zhao Duotian was still alive! This master was also a defiant existence; if Zhao Duotian wanted someone dead, no one could save them!

Therefore, he aimed to grievously injure Zhou Heng with this blow but didn’t dare to kill him outright.

It’s not just that he was angry, except for Han Yiyao, probably everyone else thought this kid had gone crazy!

It’s not necessarily a good thing for a young man to achieve success; blinded by arrogance, he’s really done something stupid! This time Ling Baidong and Han Yiyao were behind him, but what about next time? Or the time after that?

He won’t always have strong people accompanying him!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Heng’s fist collided with Ying Luotian’s palm.

Everyone felt a reluctance to watch further, predicting that Zhou Heng’s entire fist would be shattered by this strike, and even the force might disperse his entire body, depending on Ying Luotian’s mood.

Crrack, crack, crack, sounds of breaking joints indeed rang out, followed by a sharp scream!

Wait, something’s not right here!

Why is Ying Luotian the one screaming!

My God!

Everyone’s eyes popped, as they saw Ying Luotian’s right palm completely mangled, a forearm bone piercing through the elbow, displaying a segment of bone snow-white yet stained with fresh blood!

Clearly, in this strike, Ying Luotian was completely at a disadvantage!

His palm was completely smashed, then the remaining force shattered his arm bone, and forcibly punched the forearm bone through the skin!

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent, save for the dripping blood from Ying Luotian’s severed arm.

Hiss!

Everyone felt goosebumps, engulfed in incredible shock.

Zhou Heng had blasted Ying Luotian’s arm with a single punch!

One punch!

Even if Ying Luotian underestimated Zhou Heng and didn’t go all out, he shouldn’t have ended up with his arm blown off!

What a tremendous gap in strength!

Previously, when Zhou Heng returned, he powerfully annihilated three Open Heaven Realm Old Ancestors; now, he had performed another unbelievable miracle, blowing up the arm of a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert with a single punch!

Nangong Changkong and the others did not die in vain!

Even more shocked was Ling Baidong, who felt the fluctuations of spiritual power coming from Zhou Heng; it clearly belonged to the Open Heaven Realm, and moreover, First Layer Heaven! But Zhou Heng’s brutal strength... it had reached the Mountains and Rivers Realm!

Moreover, it wasn’t just that his brutal strength was shocking; Zhou Heng’s physical robustness was terrifyingly off the charts, definitely comparable to a Mountains and Rivers Realm magic artifact, which allowed him to blast Ying Luotian’s arm in a direct clash!

He was practically a human-shaped demon beast!

No, he was far more formidable than the physique of a demon beast! If he were to brawl with a demon beast of the same realm, the beast would undoubtedly exclaim "demon beast"— if demon beasts could talk!

Ling Baidong had no choice but to retract his previous bias, Zhou Heng was not arrogant, he genuinely possessed such strength!

If one has strength, it’s not arrogance, it’s simply natural!

Just like if a junior from the Initial Separation Realm provoked him, would Ling Baidong let him go? Definitely a slap to death!

The same applied to Zhou Heng now; Ying Luotian was weaker yet still provoked him, he was simply seeking his own death!

Ling Baidong’s eyes gleamed wildly, the Zhao Family after Zhao Duotian had revealed another exceptional monster! And this monster seemed not in the least inferior to Zhao Duotian!

It was destined by heaven for the Zhao Family to rise!
