Chapter 372: Chapter 360: Ridiculously Strong (1/3)

Bai Yushi also stated that this was a personal feud between Zhou Heng and the Ying Family, not a foreign enemy. It was not included in their agreement to unite against common threats, so he chose to stand by idly.

These two Old Ancestors were originally worried that once Ying Cheng’en also advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Ying Family’s strength would inflate to an uncontrollable level, forcing the other two families to make significant concessions.

Now that Zhou Heng had emerged, Bright Moon Country witnessed the rise of a fourth Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor, which naturally could greatly suppress the Ying Family. Although the Ying Family still held a dominant position, it was better than having one family overwhelming the others.

All three were cunning old foxes, naturally understanding each other’s thoughts. Ying Tianyin’s expression was icy, but he couldn’t possibly command Mei Songtao and Bai Yushi; he just snorted lightly.

"Youngster, let me teach you a lesson and show you what it means to respect your elders!" Ying Tianyin said, looking at Zhou Heng. Not to mention that it’s unlikely for Martial Artists of the same realm to decide life and death unless it’s a fight to the death. Now, with both Mei and Bai present, even if he had the chance to kill Zhou Heng, these two would prevent it.

Thus, he only harbored the thought of heavily suppressing Zhou Heng for the moment. As for killing... he would have to wait until Ying Cheng’en broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so they could jointly assassinate Zhou Heng without giving him any chance to escape!

This kid was simply too young, even more monstrous than Ying Cheng’en. If he didn’t eliminate him quickly, how could he rest easy?

He flipped his hand and struck downwards, a large hand descended from the sky; countless bone spurs protruded from the palm, not in white, but in bright silver!

The Bone Spur was the Ying Family’s Bloodline Power, and as Ying Tianyin had entered the Nascent Soul Realm, he’d formed his own Deity. These bone spurs had naturally evolved, becoming sharper and harder.

Zhou Heng gave a faint smile, saying, "Where’s Ying Cheng’en? Don’t be like a shrinking turtle, come out and face your death!"

Hearing his challenge, the people of the Ying Family felt frustrated—after all, you’re a grand Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor while Ying Cheng’en is still in Quasi Nascent Soul Realm, technically still in the Spirit Sea Realm. How could they fight?

Calling someone out to die, this kid sure is mouthy!

Boom!

The Bone Spur hand crashed down, yet Zhou Heng did not dodge or evade, continuing to say, "Ying Cheng’en, in the past, you relied on being one realm higher to try to kill me. Today, I am one realm higher—let’s settle this account!"

When the Ying Family heard this, they were collectively speechless.

Indeed, Ying Cheng’en had once bullied Zhou Heng, who was in the Mountains and Rivers Realm with his Quasi Nascent Soul Cultivation Level tactics. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to kill him, but he also forced him to comprehend the Domain while still in the Mountains and Rivers Realm, thus elevating Zhou Heng’s notorious reputation and making Ying Cheng’en a pitiful footnote, a negative example!

Seeing Zhou Heng neither dodging nor defending, the people of the Ying Family’s eyes gleamed. Even if he was in Nascent Soul Realm, could he withstand their Old Ancestor’s blow?

The giant palm struck down, the bone spurs chilled to the bone!

Thump!

The horrifying power swirled, dust filled the air, forming a mud dragon that danced towards the sky, blinding visibility.

Bai Yushi and Mei Songtao were greatly puzzled—Zhou Heng actually took the hit with his body. Was this kid seeking death? But he didn’t seem that foolish!

"Hahahahaha," Ying Tianyin laughed heartily. He knew the destructive power of his strike; the Bone Spur Bloodline was specially designed to break defenses. This strike would inflict nearly catastrophic damage on Zhou Heng. Even if it didn’t kill him, it would severely wound him!

He didn’t care why Zhou Heng would do something so foolish. Since he was an enemy, the more foolish, the better!

"Old Ancestor is mighty!"

"Old Ancestor is domineering!"

"Old Ancestor is invincible in battle, unstoppable in attack!"

The people of the Ying Family all cheered, loudly proclaiming the might of their family as their Old Ancestor triumphed!

The dust gradually dissipated, and there stood a tall, proud man radiating a faint divine might, penetrating into the hearts of observers, inspiring submission and awe.

It was Zhou Heng!

"How, how is this possible!"

"To withstand a strike from the Old Ancestor and still stand?"

"This must be fake!"

All the Ying Family members exclaimed in shock. They would rather believe that a sow could climb a tree than accept the scene before them.

Bai Yushi, Mei Songtao, and Ying Tianyin all had grave expressions, their eyes flickering with indescribable brilliance.

They were all in the Third Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm; their strengths were comparable, and even Bai Yushi and Mei Songtao understood how terrifying Ying Tianyin’s strike was. Yet, Zhou Heng did not dodge or block it, leaving them doubting their own eyes!

This was terrifying. How could this kid’s defensive power be so formidable?

Impossible! No one in the world could have a physique that matched the Nascent Soul Realm Magic Artifact. This kid must be wearing some unparalleled Armor!

"Old Ghost Ying, did you skip a meal? Why so weak? I stood there letting you hit me, and you didn’t even make me take a step back?" Zhou Heng chuckled derisively, sparing no mercy in his mockery.

Ying Tianyin’s face was ugly. As a Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor, a Supreme Expert under the heavens, he had no need to conceal his emotions. If he disliked someone, he would kill them; there was no need for pretense.

"Ignorant child, you only blocked one of my moves. What’s there to be proud of!" he snorted coldly, as a silver-white egg appeared above his head, containing a long sharp Bone Spur, emitting a terrifying aura through the eggshell.

He was in the Third Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, his Deity almost forming a Divine Infant, immensely powerful!

"Young man, dare you take another palm from me?" As the bone spur shimmered with divine radiance, dazzling in appearance, Ying Tianyin used provocation tactics, flipping his palm and striking towards Zhou Heng again, from the center of his palm extended a bone spur large as an adult man’s body, emitting a cold light that was terrifying!

Bai Yushi and Mei Songtao both sneered coldly. This old ancestor of the Ying family really thought Zhou Heng was foolish, even going as far as to summon deities for his strike. This was definitely an all-out move. Did he expect Zhou Heng, in his youthful vigor, to agree to take another hit?

"Why should I not dare?" Zhou Heng crossed his arms in front of his chest, indeed not dodging or evading.

Spurt!

Bai Yushi and Mei Songtao both choked, almost stumbling and falling from midair. This kid was insanely audacious to the limit!

However, Ying Tianyin was overjoyed. He had utilized a deity in his attack, not the strongest in the Nascent Soul Realm, but he could guarantee that even a Divine Infant Realm ancestor would not dare to brazenly take his strike!

Zhou Heng was indeed courting his own death!

Finish him off!

Ying Tianyin’s eyes gleamed fiercely. He had thought it difficult to kill an expert of the same realm, but he hadn’t expected Zhou Heng to cooperate so perfectly. If this young man was so arrogant, then he only had himself to blame for throwing away his own life!

The onlookers from the Ying family also widened their eyes, eagerly hoping to see Zhou Heng splattered with blood.

If their old ancestor could slay a Nascent Soul Realm expert, it would surely elevate their family’s prestige to new heights!

The bone spur struck, reaching the top of Zhou Heng’s head!

This time, there was no cloud of dust rising; everyone could see clearly.

Creak!

Within the strange noise, contrary to what everyone had imagined, the bone spur didn’t pierce through Zhou Heng’s skull unimpeded. Instead, it was blocked!

Time seemed to slow down immensely, allowing everyone to clearly see golden light radiating from Zhou Heng’s body. Cracks began to form at the tip of the bone spur, then quickly spread upward to the other end, extending even to the palm holding it.

A second crack appeared swiftly, followed by a third and a fourth. In the blink of an eye, both the bone spur and the palm were covered in cracks.

As the golden light swirled, with a snap, both the bone spur and the palm turned into shattered shadows!

"Ah—" Ying Tianyin let out a low grunt, his left hand clutching his right palm as blood flowed profusely.

He had attacked Zhou Heng with an illusion from his right hand, which was shattered completely, causing him considerable injury. His entire palm was a blur of flesh and blood, and blood kept spilling relentlessly, dripping all over the ground.

Utter silence befell the arena!

A Nascent Soul Realm old ancestor launched a palm strike at an unguarded opponent, but the opponent remained unscathed, instead leaving the attacker with a mutilated body! Was this some kind of absurd tale?

How could such an absurd thing happen?

They must have been seeing things!

The people of the Ying family continually rubbed their eyes with their hands. No matter how many times they wiped their eyes, the scene remained the same—the old ancestor holding his right hand, with blood dripping incessantly!

Hiss!

Bai Yushi and Mei Songtao both gasped in cold air. Zhou Heng wasn’t just recklessly arrogant; he was terrifyingly powerful. He didn’t even need to attack; merely the backlash was enough to injure a Nascent Soul Realm old ancestor!

What kind of monstrous strength was this?

The Ying family... they were likely in trouble now!

"Young, young friend!" Ying Tianyin barely squeezed out a smile. "I think, there might be some misunderstanding between us!"

"What misunderstanding?" Zhou Heng spoke with a smile, seemingly unaware of what had happened just before.

"Hehe!" Ying Tianyin was fuming inside, but his face was forced into a smile. The young man in front of him was too terrifying, completely sapping him of the courage to fight.

He must not become enemies with him!

"There’s really no grudge between us that can’t be resolved. Why don’t we downplay the whole matter. We are all pillars of the Bright Moon Country; infighting only brings pain to loved ones and joy to enemies. Old man has also gathered quite a few treasures; perhaps you’d be interested in admiring them together!"

He dared not antagonize Zhou Heng and sought to bribe him with treasures.

What a shameless move!

Bai Yushi and Mei Songtao cursed inwardly. Not to mention how many times the Ying family had mobilized people against Zhou Heng; even Ying Tianyin’s merciless attack just now was proof of his resolve to kill Zhou Heng.

And yet the old man was talking about a misunderstanding!

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, flicking his finger casually. With a pfft, a gust of wind sliced across, instantly piercing through the skull of a person from the Ying family. The force didn’t diminish, and with successive pffts, it continued to pierce through the heads of seven more people before finally disappearing.

With snaps, eight people nearly fell simultaneously, blood and brain matter flying together, red and white mess everywhere.

"Is this the kind of misunderstanding you meant?" Zhou Heng asked with a smile, flicking his finger again, another gust of wind slashed, several more people from the Ying family fell dead.
