Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 290 - 278 The Great Battle Begins (3/3)

Chapter 290: Chapter 278 The Great Battle Begins (3/3)

In fact, that peerless expert of the Night Demon race had only struck casually and hadn’t used his true battle power.

Yet he was a genuine Nascent Soul Realm being; even a casual strike should have instantly slain anyone in the Spirit Sea Realm—regardless of how monstrous the opponent, there is a great trench-like gap between Spirit Sea and Nascent Soul!

A mortal, no matter how strong, is merely mortal, but one in the Nascent Soul Realm has formed a deity within, achieving half the state of an Immortal!

That peerless expert of the Night Demon race could determine that Ying Cheng’en must possess an exceptional treasure, which had allowed him to resist that strike. But could he actually argue with others that he hadn’t killed Ying Cheng’en in one hit because the latter had a treasure on, otherwise, he would have killed him instantly?

If he really were to say so, he would lose all face!

"Hahaha, aliens are aliens after all, even with Nascent Soul Realm cultivation they’ve trained it onto dogs!" At this moment, a human Expert strode through the void as if there were invisible steps in the air; he hovered midair, his terrifying aura endlessly circulating, like a deity whose light shines eternally, compelling one to worship in awe.

His momentum was indescribably stronger than Ying Cheng’en’s!

Nascent Soul Realm, the true formation of a deity’s existence!

"Humph, spare me the nonsense. The fight is inevitable!" Another peerless expert of the alien races flew into the void, saying coldly, "Clear the field!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh, several more peerless experts arrived on the scene, and since every one of them had altered their appearance and even their aura with their big-shot power, it was impossible to discern who was who. Only the obvious physical traits could distinguish the humans from the Night Demon race.

"Anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm, get a thousand miles away from me!" bellowed a peerless human expert. His voice, like a blade, surged in all directions.

Zhou Heng felt an irresistible force coming at him, and involuntarily his form was pushed back. On instinct, he executed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, weaving through the gaps of the sound waves, and was not blown away.

Once the echo had receded, one could see that the originally bustling plain was now left with only seven sparsely scattered figures!

To be able to resist a shout from an Expert of the Nascent Soul Realm was absolutely monstrous, and here there were as many as seven! Six of them were of the Spirit Sea Realm, but there were no other contenders from the Mountains and Rivers Realm, only Zhou Heng was the sole survivor.

However, he had the Stealth Talisman to conceal his aura, so even if a Divinity Transformation Realm Expert were to be resurrected, they wouldn’t be able to see his depth, which decreased the impact. Otherwise, knowing a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert could be so monstrous would definitely shock many, and quite a few would likely have a sudden rise in killing intent.

Among the seven, Zhou Heng recognized two of them. One, unsurprisingly, was Ying Cheng’en, and the other was Han Yulian, greatly surprising Zhou Heng.

If divided by race, three were of the Night Demon race and four were humans. It would have been a draw between the humans and the Night Demon race if not for Zhou Heng’s interference.

"Hey, there are actually seven youngsters who managed to stay!" said an expert from the Night Demon race. Then he raised his voice, "My fellow clan members, let’s drive the humans away first, and then we’ll compete, alright?"

"In the face of aliens, we should join forces!"

"Indeed!"

The peerless experts of the Night Demon race quickly reached a consensus and lined up, floating in the air together, totaling seventeen.

Having allied themselves, the humans had no choice but to do the same, also standing in line. There were more of them, a total of twenty-two. However, that didn’t mean the humans had the upper hand because there were many Experts of the same level lurking in the shadows who had not yet revealed themselves.

"Let’s fight!"

Boom!

The fight broke out instantly, without delay, as the terrifying powers surged again.

The previous combat at the Spirit Sea Realm level had already forced back Martial Artists of the Mountains and Rivers Realm. Now that the battle had shifted to the Nascent Soul Realm, and even the Divine Infant Realm, even Experts of the Spirit Sea Realm had no place on the battlefield.

Zhou Heng had no choice but to retreat.

Though the Swift Cloud Radiant Step was extremely wondrous, faced with the mad surging of more than forty terrifying forces, Zhou Heng had no way to weave through them any longer. He glanced towards Han Yulian and darted across like lightning.

"Hmm?" Although Han Yulian did not recognize Zhou Heng, she could sense the slight attraction of the Golden Sun Grass King on him and knew that he was one of the seven prodigies who had been able to resist the shout of a Nascent Soul Realm Expert.

She immediately showed a wary expression, keeping her eyes on Zhou Heng, and shouted, "Don’t come any closer!"

"Senior, it’s me, Zhou Heng!" Zhou Heng lowered his voice and said.

"What!" Han Yulian was so shocked she almost fainted!

How was it possible, wasn’t this guy only at the Second Layer Heaven of the Open Heaven stage? How can he resist a shout from a peerless Nascent Soul Realm expert? Monstrous was not even sufficient to describe him; he was simply aberrant!

Having tracked Zhou Heng for some time, while she did not completely trust what he said, she believed Zhou Heng had no malice, so she did not stop him from getting closer. On the other hand, she was simply too astounded.

Was this guy even human?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle raged on, with new Experts joining the fray continuously, escalating the intensity of the fight to levels where even Ying Cheng’en with his exceptional treasure had to keep a wide berth. Though he had a treasure that could ward off attacks from Nascent Soul and even Divine Infant Realms, he would be hard pressed if he faced the current barrage of nearly a hundred chaotic attacks.

There was no choice but to retreat; mortals simply had no power to intervene in a battle of such level.

"Senior, do you have any news about Yiyao?" Zhou Heng asked. He had been running around these past few days and had no time to search for Han Yiyao’s whereabouts.

"No!" Han Yulian finally snapped out of her shock and, faced with Zhou Heng’s miracles, she finally half-believed that Zhou Heng could have an involvement with Han Yiyao without it being fatal to her.

"Senior, Ying Cheng’en is looking for you; it would be best for you to leave quickly!" Zhou Heng said seriously. Han Yulian was without the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, so even if she was fortunate enough to obtain the Nine Suns Vitality Grass, how could she possibly escape?

With a cold expression, Han Yulian replied, "When did I need you to instruct me on my affairs!"

She doesn’t appreciate kindness!

Zhou Heng felt a surge of anger. He truly wanted to give this woman a harsh beating! Don’t you know you possess the Mysterious Yin Physique? If Ying Cheng’en catches you, he could definitely send himself straight to the Nascent Soul Realm, an effect even better than the Nine Suns Vitality Grass!

He swore that if it weren’t for the fact that Han Yulian was at the Spirit Sea Realm level of cultivation, he wouldn’t care that she was Han Yiyao’s aunt; he would still spank her!

"Hmm?" Zhou Heng’s attention was quickly drawn to a figure—a short and thin man who was holding a rope. The other end was tied around the waists of two beautiful women, whom he was pulling around all over the place.

Both women were at the Spirit Sea Realm level of cultivation and were fully matured beauties, but they were powerless to resist and appeared utterly desolate and indignant in this man’s grip.

The man moved through the air as if stepping on invisible stairs.

Above the plains, the battle was raging. Even though Zhou Heng had not seen a Nascent Soul Realm peerless expert before, he could now be certain that flying through the void was a feature of the Nascent Soul Realm experts!

—At least, they must have achieved the form of deities.

But why was a Nascent Soul Realm expert not competing for Divine Medicine and instead was dragging around two women aimlessly?

While Zhou Heng was puzzled, the man had already reached the airspace in front of Zhou Heng and Han Yulian.

"Beautiful lady, lift your veil and let your brother have a look," said the Nascent Soul Realm man, his tone flippant and frivolous.

Is this really a peerless expert? Why does he act like a lecher!

Were these two beauties abducted by him? It looked like it!

But surely, for a Nascent Soul Realm expert, getting women wouldn’t be difficult. Just showing a bit of interest would have countless women willingly throwing themselves at him. Why go to such lengths?

"Hehe, brother will introduce himself!" The man grinned lewdly. "Brother here is called Xiao Jiuxiong, and I have another moniker, ’Crazy Beauty Demon.’ Sigh, actually, brother should be called a collector of beauties, and I only collect beauties of the Spirit Sea realm. Being fancied by brother is an honor indeed!"

"Such beauties should all be wearing dog collars around their necks and lie bare-bottomed at my feet to be proper!"

After he finished these sentences, Zhou Heng immediately understood why the other would need to abduct them—this man was simply a pervert. Which woman, no matter how vain, would willingly degrade herself to a human-shaped dog?

Who knows how old this old freak is, and yet, here he is, calling himself a ’brother’, which was utterly disgusting!

It’s truly unjust how such a lewd and repellent fellow could also cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm; are the heavens blind!

Han Yulian’s complexion changed, and she said, "I was born with an ugly appearance; it’s better not to offend the senior!" Although she loathed Xiao Jiuxiong, she knew better than to let her anger show, well aware she could not overpower him.

"Enough nonsense, do you really want brother to get angry?" Xiao Jiuxiong suddenly turned hostile, his gaze sharp as the imposing aura of the Nascent Soul Realm surged, almost making people faint.

After much hesitation, Han Yulian reluctantly lifted her veil to reveal her extremely beautiful facial contours. However, deep scars ran from the tips of her eyebrows down to the corners of her mouth on both cheeks, completely destroying her heavenly beauty.

"Ptui!" Xiao Jiuxiong instantly spat, his face filled with murderous intent, "Ugly freak, a complete waste of my affection—die!" He flipped his right hand and struck a palm towards Han Yulian.

"Run!" Zhou Heng grabbed Han Yulian and activated the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, moving with a fluidity like light.

"Huh?" Xiao Jiuxiong revealed a hint of surprise, "Kid, that’s a decent movement technique!" He changed his thoughts, and the heaven and earth turned into a prison, immediately trapping Zhou Heng and Han Yulian.

Under the restraint of a Nascent Soul Realm expert, even a Teleportation Talisman was rendered useless!

Zhou Heng frowned, wondering if he should bring out the Nine Mystic Trial Tower?

But this treasure was even more precious than the Nine Suns Vitality Grass; brandishing it would draw the attention of all the stronger experts fighting over the Divine Medicine! Even if they couldn’t do anything about the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, did he really want to stay inside the Treasure Pagoda with the women for life, starving to death?

Boom!

As Zhou Heng brooded, a man like a sun god shot forward, suddenly holding a purple sword in his hand. With a single slash, the prison of heaven and earth instantly collapsed.

Although they were freed, Zhou Heng and Han Yulian showed no joy. Their rescuer was none other than Ying Cheng’en!

The trouble had just gotten bigger! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
