Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 419 - 403 Foodie (2/3)

Chapter 419: Chapter 403 Foodie (2/3)

Between Zhou Heng and the Mao Family existed an irrevocable hatred, compounded by the family’s deranged practices of harvesting human hearts for medicine and creating walking corpses. Which of these actions could be committed by a human?

Since this family consisted of nothing but beasts, what would be wrong in slaughtering them all!

The elderly man in green robes who had just emerged was the Nascent Soul Realm old ancestor of the Mao Family left in charge, named Mao Xuepo. Upon hearing Mao Zhiyun utter the words "Zhou Heng," he realized something was amiss and hurried over, but it was already too late.

Seeing the gaping wound in Mao Zhiyun’s chest, Mao Xuepo’s gaze turned icy as he said, "Zhou Heng, you really are audacious, daring to strike at the doorstep of my Mao family!" He couldn’t sense Zhou Heng’s presence and assumed Zhou Heng was still in the Nascent Soul Realm, so naturally, he couldn’t afford to appear weak in terms of momentum.

"Old thief—" Zhou hadn’t even spoken when the little child had already started shouting, "Return my parents’ lives to me!" He charged at Mao Xuepo, his eyes as if spitting fire.

"Humph!" Mao Xuepo saw a mere child from the Initial Separation Realm daring to attack him and could not help but burst with anger. The instant he formed a thought, a serpent shadow appeared, opening its massive mouth and biting towards the child.

Yet the boy was fearless, his body bursting forth with immense courage, his gaze resolute.

The serpent’s mouth bit down, but before it could touch the child, it completely disintegrated, as if crashing into an invisible barrier, and completely vanished.

"Zhou Heng!" Mao Xuepo grunted dissatisfiedly. He sensed the Divine Intent stirred by Zhou Heng which had neutralized his attack.

The little child dashed forward like a sharp arrow.

Mao Xuepo sneered. Did Zhou Heng really think that by continually intercepting his attacks, he could let this child reach him? Ridiculous! With a thought, roar, roar, roar—at least a thousand Flood Serpents burst forth from his body, shrieking madly at the boy.

The primary difference between offense and defense is that a single successful strike would undoubtedly mean death for the child!

Thus, using this little child as a pawn in their contest, he was inherently advantaged!

Zhou Heng merely smiled faintly; he had never intended to use the boy as a pawn in their contest. Moreover, what right did Mao Xuepo have to compete with him? With a mere thought, the thousands of Flood Serpents melted away completely as if ice under boiling water.

The little child, being quite mischievous, understanding that Zhou Heng had intervened on his behalf, was now even more fearless. With a loud shout, he swung the dagger in his hand.

"Hmph!" Mao Xuepo snorted heavily, exhaling two streams of air from his nostrils that surged toward the child.

Zhou Heng controlled with his right hand, and a terrifying pressure fell. Those two streams of air disappeared without a trace, and Mao Xuepo himself was pressured to the ground, unable to so much as twitch a finger.

"Impossible!" Mao Xuepo’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief!

The servants of the Mao family too bulged their eyes in shock!

Who was Mao Xuepo? A formidable Nascent Soul Realm old ancestor, a figure who could walk horizontally across the world, revered almost like a demigod! Yet such a being had now sprawled on the ground in full view of an audience!

This couldn’t possibly be him voluntarily lying down, could it? If not willingly, then he must have been forced down!

It was Zhou Heng!

Sheesh, this kid looked to be only in his twenties; how could he possess such terrifying strength?

Mao Xuepo was both angry and shocked, a great humiliation for him. But how had Zhou Heng’s strength become so formidable that he hadn’t the slightest ability to resist?

Left with no choice, he had to tap into his family’s heritage!

With a thought, a black light immediately soared from above the Mao family mansion, rushing into the sky and forming the silhouette of a Nine-Headed Hydra. Upon roaring silently in the sky, it immediately entered his body.

Mao Xuepo’s aura significantly enhanced, advancing rapidly from the Nascent Soul Second Layer Heaven to the Nascent Soul Third Layer Heaven. After a brief pause, he transcended this boundary, entering the Divine Infant Realm!

Divine Infant First Layer Heaven, Divine Infant Second Layer Heaven!

Finally, his aura stabilized.

"Heh heh heh, Zhou Heng, this is the heritage of my Mao family. To contest with me here is akin to seeking your own death!" Mao Xuepo coldly sneered, his body now filled with explosive power, as if he could shatter a falling star with a single punch!

Of course, while his spiritual power level had ascended to Divine Infant Second Layer Heaven, his own realm’s insight had not kept up. Otherwise, if the people of the Mao family could occasionally do this, they all would have achieved breakthroughs to the Divine Infant Realm!

But possessing the power of Divine Infant Second Layer Heaven was sufficient. One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws—a crushing-level strength enough to obliterate everything!

He tried to rise, but regardless of the cracking sounds exploding from his bones, his body remained unchanged!

"Wahaha!" Black Donkey immediately burst into raucous laughter, rolling on the ground.

All that bluster, and still useless after all!

Just then, the audacious child finally made his charge, stabbing a dagger toward Mao Xuepo’s neck.

Hum!

The tip of the dagger was placed at Mao Xuepo’s neck, but it couldn’t penetrate at all!

Mao Xuepo was subdued by Zhou Heng, but how formidable is the defense of the Nascent Soul Realm? How could a Minor Warrior from the Initial Separation Realm possibly pierce through? Originally, when Zhou Heng was in the Spirit Sea Realm, even holding the indestructible Black Sword, he had to use the Sky-soaring Nine Forms to slay the utterly defenseless Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch!

"Ah—" the Little Child screamed, exerting all his strength. With a clang, the dagger snapped into two pieces, yet Mao Xuepo’s neck remained unscathed.

Mao Xuepo felt no pride in this; as a Nascent Soul Realm expert, if his defense were breached by a mere child from the Initial Separation Realm with a Mortal Artifact, he might as well hang himself!

Fear spread across his face.

He now possessed the power of the Divine Infant’s Second Layer Heaven. Why couldn’t he move an inch, as if a mortal crushed by a giant rock, unable to stand up at all!

Zhou Heng... was not in the Nascent Soul Realm, but the Divine Infant Realm!

He couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably, his body breaking out in cold sweat.

"I’ll kill you!" the Little Child’s eyes reddened. He threw aside the broken dagger and incredibly, he opened his mouth to bite towards Mao Xuepo’s shoulder.

Zhou Heng frowned; although he had subdued Mao Xuepo, Mao remained a bona fide Nascent Soul Realm expert. Physical attacks would naturally induce a rebounding force. This was trivial for him, but for a warrior from the Initial Separation Realm, it was enough to shatter him!

However, the child definitely couldn’t pierce through Mao Xuepo’s flesh, so the rebounding force at most would cause him to break a few teeth, a minor discomfort.

Chomp, the child bit down.

"Ah—" A scream of pain echoed as the Little Child raised his head with his mouth full of blood.

Zhou Heng and Black Donkey were both shocked because the scream hadn’t come from the Little Child, but Mao Xuepo!

—The Little Child had actually bitten off a chunk of flesh from Mao Xuepo’s shoulder!

How could this be possible!

Mao Xuepo was a genuine Nascent Soul Realm expert. Although he was suppressed by Zhou Heng, his defensive power had not weakened in the slightest. How was it possible that a child from the Initial Separation Realm bit off a chunk of his flesh?

Moreover, the fact that the child wasn’t killed by the rebounding force was even more inconceivable!

"I’ll bite you to death! I’ll bite you to death!" the Little Child’s eyes flared wildly, resembling an Ancient Ferocious Beast, and he bent down to bite again. His teeth were like a Magic Artifact of the Divine Infant Realm, tearing through Mao Xuepo’s defense!

Black Donkey muttered, "Zhou, this Little Child seems to be even more monstrous than you!"

Zhou Heng was still in shock. The child’s ability was truly terrifying. If it were him, even holding the Black Sword at the Initial Separation Realm, he wouldn’t have been able to break through the Nascent Soul Realm’s defense.

What kind of monster was this!

Mao Xuepo kept screaming in agony. Though he was of the Nascent Soul Realm, being bitten and having his flesh torn off bit by bit, how many could endure that? It was not just the pain but also a sort of mental torment. To be bitten to death by a Little Child, what a tragic way to die!

Fortunately, Zhou Heng had no intention of letting the Little Child turn into a beast. With a single gesture, he made the Little Child float up. He tossed the child towards Black Donkey and said, "Donkey, watch him!"

"Let me go, I want revenge! I want revenge!" the Little Child struggled repeatedly.

"Little Child, keep it down!" Black Donkey snorted.

"Stinking donkey, let me go, or I’ll eat you!" the Little Child’s eyes gleamed fiercely, baring his snow-white teeth.

Even though Black Donkey was fearless, being stared at by the child made a chill rise from the depths of its heart. It quickly slapped him with a hoof: "Little Child, dare to threaten me!"

Zhou Heng drew the Black Sword, its Broken Blade slicing through the air. Clattering, Mao Xuepo’s head instantly separated from his neck, blood spraying.

The Little Child stopped struggling at this sight, but his fierce eyes remained fixed on the Mao Family Mansion, filled with murderous intent.

Zhou Heng felt a headache coming on. A seven or eight-year-old child should be carefree, yet this child could ferociously bite off human flesh—an intense murderous aura truly seeped from his bones.

Since he had given a ten-minute deadline, naturally he wouldn’t go back on his word. He asked the child, "What’s your name?"

The Little Child turned to look at Zhou Heng, probably because Zhou had slain Mao Xuepo. His gaze softened a lot as he said, "My name is Wang Ke, nickname Little Foodie!"

p>Black Donkey immediately burst out laughing.

The nickname Little Foodie was truly appropriate. The little guy’s teeth were so strong they could pierce a Nascent Soul Realm expert’s defense, and he himself wasn’t harmed at all—a true monster!

"Were your parents killed by the Mao Family?"

"Yes!" the Little Foodie clenched his fists, biting his lip as tears rolled down, "That day I was hidden by my mother in a hole under the bed, so I escaped the catastrophe. The beasts from the Mao Family fed some kind of medicine to my dad, then my dad turned into a monster and bit my mom to death, then my mom also turned into a monster and left with the beasts from the Mao Family!"(To be continued.
