Chapter 407: Chapter 391: Li Family Siblings (2/3)

Sang Qingshan looked at Zhou Heng as if he were looking at a monster.

This guy must be a freak!

The first time Sang Qingshan met Zhou Heng, Sang Qingshan was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Third Layer Heaven, having already formed his Deities, while Zhou Heng was merely at the First Layer Heaven of the Spirit Sea, the gap between them as vast as one standing at the foot of the mountain while the other was just steps away from the summit.

Yet, this freak had whooshed his way up, before Sang Qingshan had even taken his first step, Zhou Heng had reached the Spirit Sea Third Layer Heaven and had formed his Deities, rapidly surpassing him in the strength of their Deities.

Inspired by Zhou Heng, Sang Qingshan finally took his first step, just one step away from truly entering the Nascent Soul Realm when this freak had already reached the summit first!

That was bad enough, but this guy didn’t just climb one mountain, he whooshed his way up two more, nearly entering the Divine Infant Realm, which left Sang Qingshan unable to bear it!

"Brother, I’ll call you brother, isn’t that enough?" Sang Qingshan was on the verge of tears, "If this is called being ashamed, then shouldn’t I go kill myself? I beg you, please stop tormenting me, I’m timid and can’t handle such a big blow!"

Seeing a burly man about to break down in tears, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but burst out laughing and said, "Brother Sang, I’m merely one step ahead, as long as you diligently cultivate, you’ll certainly catch up with me!"

"Yeah right, I don’t believe your nonsense!" Although Sang Qingshan was also a genius among the younger generation and full of confidence in himself, when it came to catching up with a freak like Zhou Heng, he knew it was absolutely impossible.

Apart from being shocked, he also felt envy and jealousy, but more than that, he was grateful for his own foresight in tying this super-genius to his own family.

The faster Zhou Heng advanced, the more benefits the Sang Family would gain.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Sang!" Just then, another person floated over, a woman of bewitching beauty, none other than the Ice Phoenix Lady, but at this moment her frosty demeanor seemed to have thawed, radiating an enchanting charm.

"Eh!" She suddenly gasped, her descending figure nearly stumbled and fell, "Nascent Soul Realm!"

She also noticed that above Zhou Heng’s head was no longer the mere sign of Divine Radiance, his aura was subdued much like a normal person, but beneath the surface simmered an endless power, making her uncontrollably shudder.

"It’s not much, just Nascent Soul Third Layer Heaven!" Sang Qingshan answered for Zhou Heng with a nonchalant face, as if this realm was very ordinary and not at all surprising.

The Ice Phoenix Lady’s pretty face twitched, almost fainting on the spot.

The realm of Nascent Soul Third Layer Heaven wasn’t supremely powerful, but the key was how little time Zhou Heng had spent to reach this point? If this is called "just so", then what would be truly shocking?

Thankfully, she was always on the verge of entering the Nascent Soul Realm, and she managed to calm her mind and said, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou on entering the Nascent Soul Realm, from this day forward, the sky’s the limit, the world is yours to explore!"

The Nascent Soul Realm is a threshold, crossing which one is half a step away from becoming an Immortal, capable of roaming freely across the world.

Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, "You two are only a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm as well, I merely went ahead a bit earlier, it’s nothing to speak of!"

"Yewu!" Another figure leaped over, tall and handsome, with a strong aura subtly revealed, it was Zhao Anyuan from the Zhao Family. He was just talking with the Ice Phoenix Lady, but this woman had suddenly left him to run over to Zhou Heng’s side, turning his face green.

The Ice Phoenix Lady showed him no favor, she never liked this overly proud man, and now even his most crowworthy cultivation speed had been easily surpassed by Zhou Heng, making all his flaws glaring.

"Brother Zhou, would you like to walk with me by the seaside?" she asked Zhou Heng with a smile.

Zhao Anyuan was about to explode with anger, the woman he had long considered his own had discarded her icy demeanor and was showing a charming demeanor in front of another man, how could he accept this?

"Hehe, why don’t Brother Zhao accompany you instead!" Zhou Heng refused indifferently, he had a bunch of beautiful wives and concubines, who had time to accompany a pretentious lady.

The Ice Phoenix Lady’s pretty face changed, and Zhao Anyuan’s expression also looked unpleasant.

If Zhou Heng had refused the Ice Phoenix Lady, he ought to be happy. But he had painstakingly tried to please her and she showed him no favor, while she had actively invited Zhou Heng only to be coldly rejected, by comparison, didn’t he seem even more clownish?

—the treasure he held in his hands was something others didn’t even want to look at straight, wasn’t this a slap to his face?

"Zhou Heng, you’ve gone too far!" Zhao Anyuan burst out in anger, pointing at Zhou Heng and yelling.

"What is it, would Brother Zhao be happy if Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Xing were cooing over each other?" Sang Qingshan interjected, "I’ve never seen such a cheap person before; anyone wanting to be Brother Zhao’s wife better be careful, or they might be sent out by Brother Zhao to accompany guests!"

He and Zhao Anyuan were alike, among the thirteen great superpower families of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, and Zhao Anyuan had only been born a few decades earlier to have advanced into Nascent Soul Realm before him, what was there to fear?

"You’re courting death!" Zhao Anyuan roared in rage, swinging his palm at Sang Qingshan.

Slap!

A crisp slap rang out, Zhao Anyuan spun around several times, his teeth mixed with blood spat out, one side of his cheek swelling up high, his hair disheveled, no longer possessing his prior grace.

Zhou Heng withdrew his hand and said lightly, "Get lost!"

Zhao Anyuan, with one hand nursing his swollen face, was filled with disbelief in his gaze.

He had actually been slapped by Zhou Heng, without the slightest bit of resistance? How could this be possible! He was at the Nascent Soul Second Layer Heaven after all; though there was still a long way to go before reaching the Divine Infant Realm, he shouldn’t be someone who could be slapped directly on the face by a being of the same realm!

"Can’t you understand?" Zhou Heng’s gaze turned icy, and with a kick, Zhao Anyuan’s body immediately soared up, drawing an arc in the sky before disappearing from sight.

Sang Qingshan and the Ice Phoenix Lady were both stunned. They knew Zhou Heng was powerful, but this level of strength was far beyond their imaginations! Such tremendous power could almost compare to that of the Divine Infant Realm, couldn’t it?

Out of awe for Zhou Heng’s power, the Ice Phoenix Lady, despite being full of anger, dared not show it and soon found an excuse to leave. After being coldly rebuffed by Zhou Heng several times, she finally gave up on him—after all, she was destined to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, not needing to rely on anyone’s favor to live!

Sang Qingshan also felt that being around Zhou Heng was too much pressure; after a while, he too left to seize the time for cultivation, lest Zhou Heng break through to the Divine Infant Realm while he had not yet even entered the Nascent Soul Realm. That would indeed be too shameful!

Two days later, a sharp screech sounded, and a small black dot appeared in the distance. But in an instant, this small black dot rapidly enlarged, turning into a gigantic Horned Eagle Beast, casting a large shadow.

Under the screech, all Martial Artists below the Nascent Soul Realm were scared into prostrating on the ground, and those with the lowest strength, at the Open Heaven Realm, even had their hearts explode from fright, while Martial Artists of the Mountains and Rivers Realm and Spirit Sea Realm turned pale, breaking out in cold sweats.

"Hmph, how dare a monster act fierce!" an old Nascent Soul Realm elder rose into the air, attempting to strike down the Demon Beast.

"How audacious!" The Horned Eagle Beast suddenly spat human words, a stream of beautiful light flashed by, the heavens and earth suddenly stirred up a wild wind, forming seventeen air cones, which it hurled at the Nascent Soul Realm elder.

This was definitely not an attack at the Nascent Soul Realm level!

Bang, bang, bang, the Nascent Soul Realm elder managed to fend off only a couple of blows before he screamed, tumbling down from mid-air, a huge bloody hole ripped open in his abdomen.

Zhou Heng’s eyes narrowed, realizing that the attack was not from the Horned Eagle Beast, but from the person atop it!

That’s right, this Horned Eagle Beast was merely a mount!

With another screech, this Horned Eagle Beast landed on the ground, its body measuring a full fifty feet, each feather two feet long, as if forged from fine steel, emitting a daunting cold light. This Demon Beast bore a silver horn on its head, hence the name Horned Eagle Beast.

Indeed, there were people on the eagle’s back, not just one, but three young people, two men and one woman, all bearing some resemblance. But among them, only one man reached the Nascent Soul Realm while the other man and the woman had only attained the Spirit Sea Realm.

A Martial Artist of the Nascent Soul Realm could make a Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast serve as a mount?

Impossible!

Powerful individuals like Zhou Heng, Zhao Duotian, Ying Cheng’en, who possessed peerless talent within their realm, naturally could slay a few Demon Beasts of the same realm, but to make a same-realm Demon Beast submit was absolutely impossible!

Demon Beasts are prouder than humans, so how could they possibly submit to a Martial Artist of the same realm?

This indicated that these three were merely disciples of some power or family, not the true masters themselves. Since this was the case, it was not surprising they had Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifacts on them.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the three individuals leapt down from the Horned Eagle Beast, landing one by one.

"I am Li Gang," proclaimed the Nascent Soul Realm youth, "this is my brother Li Peng, and this my sister Li Shuangshuang, and our father is—"

"Heavenly Venerate Wuji!" the two men and the woman said in unison.

They were... descendants of the Heavenly Venerate!

No wonder they had a Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast as transport; for a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate, subduing a Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast was a piece of cake.

"Really arrogant!" Black Donkey scoffed, "Don’t give Donkey Master a chance, or I’ll throw all three of you into a dung pit to feast on poop!"

"Disgusting donkey, can you not be so repulsive?" Zhou Heng, although he wasn’t fond of the Li siblings, found Black Donkey’s remark utterly revolting.

"Hehe!" Black Donkey shamelessly chuckled.

"Our father sent us three siblings to greet everyone. If there is any oversight, we ask everyone for your understanding!" Li Gang said, speaking quite politely, but his face wore an extremely arrogant expression, disregarding everyone in the world.

No wonder they were so arrogant, being the only descendants of a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate on Xuanqian Continent, they had every right to be.

Martial Artists not only compete in strength but also in their heritage!

Whoever is born in a super-powerful family, even if they are not strong themselves, can still swagger around!

And these three Li siblings had exactly that kind of privilege! (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
