Chapter 259: Chapter 247: A Big Shot Arrives (2/3)

"This guy is absolutely brutal, and really shows no mercy when he strikes!"

Ying Chuchen is indeed a descendant of the Ying Family, and he’s a highly valued member of the new generation. Although he has not yet stepped into the Open Heaven Realm, his talent is extraordinary, and with the full cultivation of the family, reaching the Spirit Sea Realm in the future is still a great hope.

Yet such a future Old Ancestor-level figure was just sent flying with a kick!

Defeat is not a problem!

No one is born a god of war, standing at the summit of the world from birth. There are always those who are superior, so losing is normal. But this kind of loss... it can’t really be called a loss. The two aren’t even on the same level; just a kick sent him flying—a crushing defeat that would leave Ying Chuchen with an indelible shadow!

A Martial Artist makes breakthroughs through comprehension, confidence, and state of being; if one harbored the shadow of failure in their heart, how could they strive forward?

Possibly, Ying Chuchen’s entire life would henceforth be bleak!

Zhou Heng sneered coldly, thinking it was over?

Swish, he leaped forward, executing the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his speed comparable to light, astonishingly managing to catch up to the now-distant point that was Ying Chuchen. Pop, he kicked out again.

Still aiming at Ying Chuchen’s abdomen, only this time, the force used was not upwards but stomped towards the ground!

Bang!

A terrifying force surged, and as they landed, the ground immediately let out a mournful cry, with dust billowing up to the sky.

On the ground, a deep pit was revealed with a hundred meters in diameter, naturally with Zhou Heng and him at the center.

Ying Chuchen was lying on his back looking up at the sky, with Zhou Heng’s foot still on his abdomen, his body already a bloody mess.

Swish, swish, swish, Bai Feifei, Zhao Hongcheng, and others swiftly flew to the scene, shocked into speechlessness upon viewing it.

Zhou Heng smiled broadly, saying, "What I hate the most is the petty people who default on their debts!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone snapped to their senses, hastily fishing out Spirit Tickets and shooting them towards Zhou Heng, fearing that this prime perpetrator, believing they intended to default on their bets, might give them the same treatment.

Zhou Heng grinned as he collected all the Spirit Tickets, then pulled out two worth ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones each and floated them over to Bai Feifei, saying, "Regrettably, only Miss Bai bet correctly!"

"What about mine!" Feng Lianqing hurried over, extending her fair and delicate hand to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng sighed, tossed two-thirds of the Spirit Tickets to her, saying, "Here, take yours!"

"Isn’t it supposed to be 100 million Spirit Stones? Stinking kid, do you think she can’t count?" Feng Lianqing’s hands were on her hips, her big eyes staring round and wide.

Zhou Heng ignored her unreasonable demands, then kicked Ying Chuchen’s body saying, "Stop playing dead, you won’t die from that kind of injury!"

Ying Chuchen’s body trembled, and he struggled to his feet. Although Zhou Heng had been measured in his force, the injury was severe, and not all pain was feigned. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he asked, "What more do you want?

"Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Heng slapped his face crisply, Ying Chuchen’s face immediately bearing a slap mark, that sounded exceptionally crisp, "A bet is a bet, you must accept the loss. Crawl!"

Crawl for real?

Anger flashed across Ying Chuchen’s face, utterly unable to bear such humiliation, especially if he had to crawl before the eyes of the entire Imperial Capital, then he really wouldn’t be able to face others!

"A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!" he roared.

"Who is interested in humiliating you?" Zhou Heng said disdainfully, "This is the gambling debt you owe, of course, you have to pay it back!"

"Brother Heng, are we really going to leave it at this?" Zhao Hongcheng also did not want to make the situation too big. If they really made Ying Chuchen crawl around, then the entire Ying Family would erupt.

"This gentleman, spare others when you can!" Bai Feifei also chimed in.

She wasn’t really concerned about Zhao Hongcheng or Ying Chuchen, but the powers they represented behind them were not something she could ignore. As a noble lady of the Imperial Clan, she harbored more responsibilities than ordinary people.

If the Zhao Family and Ying Family went to war, it wouldn’t just be a simple firefight between two major families, but it could shake the very foundations of the entire Empire!

After all, both families held significant weight!

Zhou Heng’s expression turned cold, saying, "Debts must be repaid, it’s only natural. If you can’t afford to bet, don’t gamble! And besides, didn’t he place the bet himself?" He pointed at Ying Chuchen.

Indeed, the bet had been initiated by Ying Chuchen.

Full of regret, Ying Chuchen would have never guessed that the bear cub, which seemed just like a cute pet dog, was so powerful! This was a trap, the Zhao Family had dug it for him to jump into, just to defeat him, making him the stepping stone for Zhao Hongcheng to break into the Open Heaven Realm!

Such a ruthless heart!

Steeling his gaze, Ying Chuchen suddenly went dark before him, and he received another slap to the face, his mouth salty with the taste of blood.

"Will you crawl or not?" Zhou Heng said coldly.

He was indeed making a big deal out of a small issue, but he had no love for anyone from the Ying Family and didn’t mind crushing them until they cried for their parents.

"Crawl fast!" Feng Lianqing egged on from the side, loving the excitement.

"Roar!" Grey also came out of the Beast Fighting Arena, back to appearing as Little Cute Bear, but who would now dare to think of it as a harmless pet?

"Never!" Ying Chuchen gritted his teeth, it was a plot, a trap, he must not yield!

Slap!

Zhou Heng showed no mercy as he slapped him again, fresh blood sprayed, teeth shattered, and Ying Chuchen’s originally handsome face was now too ghastly to behold.

"Enough!" Bai Feifei coldly shouted.

Slap!

Zhou Heng as if he hadn’t heard, delivered another slap.

"Enough!" Bai Feifei suddenly thundered like lightning, and her voice transformed into a tangible force, rushing towards Zhou Heng with overwhelming intensity.

It was like a tsunami, surging powerfully!

Upon launching this attack, her massive aura could no longer be concealed, rumbling like thunder!

Heaven-Opening Realm!

Hiss, this ever-playful princess of the Bai Family was actually at the Heaven-Opening cultivation level?

Zhao Hongcheng and the others all revealed absolute astonishment; Bai Feifei had never demonstrated her strength before. Firstly, she didn’t need to strike, and secondly, no one dared force her hand, but who would have thought she possessed the cultivation level of the Heaven-Opening Realm!

Among the three great beauties of the Imperial Capital, Han Yiyao was at the Mountains and Rivers Realm, and Bai Feifei had reached the Heaven-Opening Realm. Only Mei Yixiang lagged behind, merely at the Initial Separation Realm, thoroughly defeating the so-called Four Great Talents.

Zhou Heng’s eyes hardened, glaring back at Bai Feifei. A great aura swept across, turning Bai Feifei’s face utterly pale, and her sound wave attack dissipated spontaneously, scattering into the surroundings.

How has this guy become even more terrifying?

Slap!

Zhou Heng delivered another slap, coldly saying, "I detest those who don’t keep their promises the most. This is your last chance, either crawl or die!"

Ying Chuchen trembled all over. Zhou Heng’s formidable and irresistible strength cast a shadow of despair in his heart. He had no doubts about his opponent’s determination. Such a person, his word was law; he wasn’t just scaring him!

Not crawling meant death!

Was it to accept humiliation or embrace death?

Ying Chuchen absolutely did not want to make such a choice, but seeing Zhou Heng slowly raising his right hand, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, his spirit finally broke completely.

With a thud, he fell to his knees, supporting himself on the ground with both hands, a wave of indescribable humiliation overwhelming him.

That’s how people are, once you step back, you won’t hold out for too long, easily retreating a second and third step!

Having taken the most humiliating first step, Ying Chuchen slowly stretched out his hand and lifted his knee, crawling forward.

"That, that’s Ying Chuchen from the Ying Family!"

"One of the Imperial Capital’s Four Great Talents!"

"Why is he crawling like a dog?"

"That’s Zhao Hongcheng next to him! Hiss, he must have been defeated by Zhao Hongcheng!"

"Defeated and needing to crawl? Man, do you even know what crawling on knees implies? That’s a total loss of face!"

"Not just his face, the Ying Family has also lost a huge amount of face this time!"

The earlier commotion had naturally drawn a crowd to watch the excitement. They were slow, and by the time they arrived, it coincided with Ying Chuchen beginning to crawl, shocking them to the point of popping their eyes out.

Gasp after gasp came, cutting into Ying Chuchen’s heart like knives, causing his tears to flow.

Ten steps, fifty steps, a hundred steps, he numbly crawled, experiencing profound humiliation!

The Fighting Beast Arena was vast, and given Ying Chuchen’s current speed, it would take at least an hour to make one round. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to crawl faster to end the humiliation quickly, but Zhou Heng was suppressing him with great strength, forcing him to move at this tortoise’s pace.

Half an hour later.

"When did the Zhao Family get so bold!" A cold snort was heard, and suddenly in front of Ying Chuchen appeared an old man in his sixties, hands clasped behind his back, his face wearing an indescribable anger.

"Ying Haihuang!"

Everyone became solemn, exclaiming in shock.

Ying Haihuang, a Mountains and Rivers Realm member of the Ying Family, and furthermore at the Peak of Third Layer Heaven, a super expert. It was said he was half a step into the Spirit Sea Realm and possessed a Dantian Space far surpassing ordinary Mountains and Rivers experts. He was the strongest in the Ying Family’s Mountains and Rivers Realm!

Such a figure held a notable position even in the Imperial Capital!

"Elder Haihuang!" Ying Chuchen screamed miserably, filled with grievance.

"Hmph!" Ying Haihuang’s eyes blazed with intense fury, not only towards the Zhao Family but also very displeased with Ying Chuchen. He truly wanted to slap this embarrassing clan member to death for showing such a lack of backbone!

"Get up now!" he shouted furiously.

Ying Chuchen quickly stood up, but just as his hand left the ground, he felt a tremendous pressure descend, forcing him back onto his knees.

"Impudent junior!" Ying Haihuang was already furiously enraged, and now he flew into a rage, this junior daring to show off in front of him, humiliating a member of his Ying Family right before his eyes, an unforgivable provocation.

He snorted coldly and made a strike towards Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng’s right fist condensed, meeting the attack without any fear.

Brute force collided!

Hiss, this guy really dares!

That was the number one person under the Spirit Sea Realm, with heaven-defying battle power!

Unless Zhou Heng possessed the battle power of the Spirit Sea Realm, it was impossible for him to be Ying Haihuang’s opponent!

Boom!

A palm and fist met, instantly freezing time. Following that, Zhou Heng staggered back more than forty steps, his face briefly flushed.

"You... are Zhou Heng!" Ying Haihuang suddenly showed endless killing intent, his gaze sharp as a blade’s edge. (To be continued.
