Chapter 302: Chapter 290: Annoyed and Angry (3/3)

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh, "Didn’t your superior tell you, never to provoke someone stronger than yourself?"

He threw a punch!

Crack!

Wu Tianyou immediately let out a miserable scream and was sent flying back by Zhou Heng, his right hand grotesquely twisted, hanging by just a layer of skin, looking incredibly pathetic. But as a Martial Artist, and especially one of the Mountains and Rivers Realm, Wu Tianyou quickly stopped screaming, although cold sweat dripped down his forehead in streams.

"Why didn’t you use such strong power from the beginning?" he said with bloodshot eyes, his heart filled with more sorrow and anger.

If he had known, he would have gone straight back for reinforcements. Why had he chased Zhou Heng here? This guy really played dirty, and he had been so wronged!

Zhou Heng sighed, "Can’t I just tease you for fun?"

Tease my ass!

Wu Tianyou dared not say this out loud. Standing behind him was the great East Spirit Immortal Pond, but he was no match for Zhou Heng at the moment. When under someone’s roof, one has to bow their head.

"Are you cursing me in your heart?" Zhou Heng said with a hint of a smile.

"No, no!" Wu Tianyou shook his head hastily.

Smack!

Zhou Heng stomped down, and Wu Tianyou immediately let out a piercing shriek. His other hand was also crushed underfoot, causing him such pain that cold sweat streamed down his face.

"I don’t like being lied to!" Zhou Heng said coldly, "Did you curse me?"

"I did! I did!" Wu Tianyou nodded again and again, truly afraid that Zhou Heng would stomp down once more.

Smack!

Zhou Heng stomped down all the same, and Wu Tianyou’s left leg was met with a crisp snap, breaking as well.

"Why, why are you still stepping on me?" Wu Tianyou’s face was filled with grief and injustice, like a wronged little wife.

"Didn’t I tell you, I hate it even more when others curse me?" Zhou Heng said indifferently.

An overwhelming feeling of frustration made Wu Tianyou want to ram his head against something and die. This guy wasn’t human at all, not only physically assaulting him but also torturing him mentally, a true devil.

Smack!

Zhou Heng stepped down for the third time, another crisp crack sounding as Wu Tianyou’s last intact limb joined the club of complete disability.

"Ah!" Even with the cultivation of the Mountains and Rivers Realm, the pain wasn’t something a dog could endure. Having all limbs broken was deeply agonizing. Cold sweat kept rolling down his forehead, his complexion frighteningly pale.

"Zhou Heng, I didn’t curse you or lie to you this time, why did you still step on me?" he protested "righteously".

"Sorry, I did it subconsciously!" Zhou Heng said with an apologetic face, then clapped his hands and laughed, "If you really need a reason, then it’s because I find you displeasing to the eye and feel like stepping on you. Can you accept that reason?"

Accept my ass!

Wu Tianyou lay there like a dead dog, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with rage, wishing he could devour Zhou Heng’s flesh and blood.

"Do you really want to kill me now?" Zhou Heng asked, grinning.

Wu Tianyou’s heart tightened, realizing the scoundrel before him was a devil among devils. He quickly said, "I am an outer disciple of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, you can’t treat me like this!"

Smack!

Zhou Heng slapped him across the face, causing Wu Tianyou’s cheek to immediately swell up, "I hate being threatened even more!"

Wu Tianyou was now truly cry without tears, thinking, just how many things do you hate? Speak it all out at once! If not, with every bone broken and ear slapped, he would go mad.

After a few more back and forth slaps, Zhou Heng cheerfully withdrew his hand and said, "Go back and tell your maternal aunt not to make her own decisions, and to stop meddling in others’ affairs! Get lost!"

He kicked Wu Tianyou away.

No wonder Lin Fuxiang and the others hadn’t shown up, they must have been under house arrest by Gu Lingfei. That old woman was really despicable, selfish and self-centered, setting the marriages for the three women all by herself without saying a word!

What right did she have?

Zhou Heng slowly walked back to town. Being angry was one thing, but the reality was another.

The East Spirit Immortal Pond was powerful, so powerful that a single finger could crush him to death, so stirring trouble at their doorstep and attempting a rescue would only bring a fatal disaster to himself, without actually solving anything!

What a pity, if Nalan Yaoyue were still here, things would have been easy. Just by waving that Demon Girl around, who in the East Spirit Immortal Pond wouldn’t cower? Even if their founding ancestor were to crawl out of the ground, they’d have to bow respectfully!

Alas, if only he could encounter that Old Swindler again, it wouldn’t matter if he had to ask for another marionette!

Or maybe that damn donkey? That donkey was a master of deceit and still hung up on the Saintess of the East Spirit Immortal Pond. Perhaps it would have some way to sneak in undetected and rescue the person!

Zhou Heng was determined to take her back!

He returned to the small town, just as Feng Lianqing and Mei Yixiang finished their frenzy and came back. The wild girl pulled Zhou Heng aside secretly and said, "Zhou, I always feel like someone is spying on me, do they want to kidnap me?"

Zhou Heng immediately showed great delight and said, "Where’s the person, I’ll give him a hundred Spirit Stones to hurry up!"

"You little brat, you’re so disloyal!" Feng Lianqing pouted with anger, "I’m not lying to you, there really is someone staring at me with a weird look, it makes me feel so uncomfortable!"

Only then did Zhou Heng become serious and asked, "Did you see what that person looks like?"

"No, I only saw a pair of sleazy eyes, just like yours!" Feng Lianqing said, sticking out her little mouth.

Strutting through the market with a group of beauties was indeed not a good idea, after all!

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Be careful yourself, don’t go running around these next few days!"

East Spirit Immortal Pond is not just filled with women, but also incorporates an external sect, all of whom are "royal kins and nobles." Don’t assume because the East Spirit Immortal Pond is a super sect of the Heavenly Dragon Empire that they would be reasonable; in this world, those with the biggest fists do the talking.

The external sect’s strength is extremely formidable. It is said that there are at least Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestors sitting in charge. What could Zhou Heng use to contend against that? Never mind that Zhao Duotian has not yet entered the Nascent Soul Realm; even if he had, distant water can’t put out a nearby fire.

Already troubled by three matters, it certainly wasn’t suitable to add a few more!

He waited in the inn, expecting that since he had given Wu Tianyou a beating, Gu Lingfei would likely come knocking at his door soon.

As expected, only three hours passed before this beautiful woman found him, her complexion terribly ashen.

"Zhou Heng, you’ve got some nerve!" Gu Lingfei stared at Zhou Heng with a frosty expression, her whole body seething.

Although being at the Spirit Sea Realm may not be considered a top-tier cultivation level in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, it is said that the total number of experts in the Nascent Soul and Divine Infant Realms in all the human empires together barely amount to two hundred. So, being at the Spirit Sea Realm was certainly something to be proud of!

Many Martial Artists in the small town, sensing Gu Lingfei’s powerful aura at the Spirit Sea Realm, couldn’t help but tremble, running out from their houses and retreating outside the town. With the eyesight of Martial Artists, they could clearly see despite the distance.

Gu Lingfei was truly enraged. Zhou Heng actually dared to beat her nephew, it was a humiliation to her!

Zhou Heng looked indifferent and said, "It’s mediocre at best, it still can’t compare to the predecessor who treats her own disciple like a commodity to be sold off!"

"What did you say?" Gu Lingfei’s eyes widened with rage soaring.

"Isn’t it?" Zhou Heng said coldly, pointing at her, "Since when do you make decisions about their marriages? Don’t they have fathers and mothers? What are you, anyway? You were merely entrusted to take care of them for a period, they call you Great Master out of respect, don’t take yourself too seriously!"

Gu Lingfei didn’t expect Zhou Heng to point at her nose and curse her. Overwhelmed with rage, she was at a loss for words.

In the matter of the three girls’ marriage, she indeed had strong personal desires.

All three, Lin Fuxiang, were Heavenly Spirit Bodies, whose advantage isn’t in how fast they accumulate Spiritual Power, but rather that they have a tremendous advantage when breaking through to higher Realms, which is why other Martial Artists envy, covet, and despise them.

What takes others ten years of Spiritual Power accumulation might require dozens, even hundreds of years to break through the barriers of the Realm. But for Heavenly Spirit Bodies, the same ten years of Spiritual Power accumulation may only take ten to twenty years to break through; that’s the difference.

The higher the Realm, the greater this advantage.

With their excellent talents, coupled with guidance from a good teacher, and dedicated practice, it becomes very easy for geniuses to emerge.

Gu Lingfei had never married in her life, so she cared tremendously for her two nephews as if they were her own children. Naturally, she wanted to match the three exceptional daughters of heaven, Lin Fuxiang, with her nephews—why let outsiders benefit from one’s own resources? Now, Zhou Heng had shaken this out in the open, causing her face to burn with embarrassment, but more so with fury. Since when did a junior from the Mountains and Rivers Realm have the right to reprimand her?

"Young man, even if I’m not qualified, what gives you the right to interfere?" she said coldly.

Zhou Heng’s expression was proud as he said resoundingly, "I am their man!"

"Nonsense!" Gu Lingfei shouted angrily and reached out to slap Zhou Heng.

Bang!

Zhou Heng deployed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, dodging the palm that then blew a huge hole in the ground. He snorted coldly and said, "Old Witch, you let your desires run wild, meddle in others’ marriages, and still have the face to be their teacher? Why don’t you just hit yourself against the wall and die, it’ll spare others from the disgust of seeing you!"

"You little beast!" Overcome with fury, Gu Lingfei launched yet another palm strike at Zhou Heng.

But although she had reached Third Layer Heaven of the Spirit Sea Realm, she was far from mastering the Domain Path, making it impossible for her to have her attacks be as swift as her thoughts, so how could her blows ever catch up with the Swift Cloud Radiant Step?

Zhou Heng twisted his body, continuing, "Old witch, it’s bad enough to be so ugly you can’t get married, but to also inflict disaster on your own disciples, have you ever seen a more revolting master? Why not just dash your head against the wall and spare the world your presence!"

Gu Lingfei trembled with rage, unable to match Zhou Heng, who had been taught by the Black Donkey, in verbal abuse, she felt a rage burning and swirling inside her as if it would set her ablaze.

Zhou Heng’s gaze turned cold—it was that moment!

Domain activated!

Boom!

Purple Flames erupted around Gu Lingfei, instantly turning her into a Fire Person.

Enraged to the brink, she was least guarded then; her clothes, even her hair, were set ablaze.

"Ah—" She let out an immensely furious howl, her potent Spiritual Power surged, and the Purple Flames flickered out. However, what was burned could not be restored; not only was half of her hair charred, but also holes appeared in her clothes, exposing her fair, delicate body underneath. (To be continued.
