Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 533 - 512

Chapter 533: 512

"Star Sea bandits!"

Everyone exclaimed in alarm, their faces revealing a sense of tension.

The notorious reputation of the Star Sea bandits ran deep in people’s hearts. These desperate criminals were originally felons who committed heinous crimes in the Forty-Nine Immortal City, now living a knife-edge existence, taking human life as nothing more than child’s play.

In the Immortal City, even if martial artists encountered enemies, unless it was an unresolvable hatred, they generally would not fight to the death. There was no need for that, finding victory or defeat, everyone would just dust themselves off and go their separate ways.

Unless one was completely overwhelmed by strength, it was necessary to be vigilant against a cornered opponent inflicting a desperate, retaliatory strike before dying.

But the Star Sea bandits were different. They were incredibly fierce, daring to confront and battle even opponents stronger than themselves, making sure that even in victory, their adversaries paid a heavy price.

This gang truly embodied recklessness, indifferent to life, including their own.

Therefore, upon hearing the name ’Star Sea bandits,’ the morale of the Yang family’s side weakened by a third.

"Hmph!" Yang Lanxin stood up boldly, unleashing her divine intent to steady the troops’ hearts, while shouting with authority, "We are under the protection of the Yang family of Xihai City. Please show some courtesy, and there will be a generous reward for you all!"

"Well now, we too are just looking to make a fortune!" A voice came from the pirate ship, shadowy and deep, yet crisply reaching everyone’s ears, "Leave behind all your wealth, as well as the star ship, and the women!"

Upon hearing this, the people of the Yang family were all furiously outraged.

These Star Sea bandits were too much, actually intending to rob them of all their wealth! In fact, this was not intolerable, since they haven’t had any other gains besides Star Charm after setting sail, and didn’t have much wealth.

But the demand to seize even the star ship was intolerable!

Without the star ship, it would take them at least a hundred years to return to the Forty-Nine Immortal City, which they could not bear.

And furthermore, to leave the women behind?

Yang Lanxin, the beloved daughter of the Family Head, was among those women. If they were to leave Yang Lanxin behind, would they still have the face to return?

Since the Star Sea bandits were so greedy, then there was only one choice left—combat!

Yang Lanxin’s pretty face turned stern as she declared, "Since you lack sincerity, we have no choice but to cross swords!"

"You little tease, fighting and killing spoils the fun. Why not wrestle with Master Liusan in bed instead!" A sleazy voice immediately burst out from the pirate ship.

"You think you can last a few minutes against that witch, Liusan? I bet you can’t last ten thrusts before you shoot your load!"

"Tsk, that little tease has such big breasts and such a perky backside, she must be going crazy for a man. Come on, let’s take this little slut down first, and the rest can line up for a good time!"

"Shut up!" Lin Caijun was livid; he had already claimed Yang Lanxin as his forbidden fruit and naturally wouldn’t allow others to fantasize about his woman. He immediately cursed in furious indignation.

"Is this the little whore’s lover?"

"Doesn’t look like it. This lad seems all bark and no bite, hardly enough to satisfy that little slut!"

Vulgarity continued to spill from the pirate ship, clearly underestimating the Yang family’s force.

Yang Lanxin’s beguilingly pretty face turned icy. Though her beauty was renowned, her philosophy was clear—"I can be flirtatious, but you cannot disturb me." Those who dared to misbehave in her presence had long since been killed!

"Form up, prepare for battle!" she said icily, channeling communication with her ship through divine intent. This star ship was not just for transportation; it also packed a powerful punch.

"Brothers, let’s kill these useless fools first, then slowly enjoy their women!"

"Attack!"

The pirate ship too was a hive of activity, whoosh whoosh whoosh; figures flew down one after another, like falcons gliding towards the ground, their movements accompanied by expanding ripples of moonlight.

This was a battle of life and death, and naturally one had to wield their strongest power from the start, otherwise there would be no place to cry foul after dying!

"Get ready—" Yang Lanxin was not the least bit flustered as she calmly commanded, "Uncle Three, you hold the central position, steady the formation, as long as you remain unshaken, the formation will not fall into disarray!"

"Understood, old Wang!" Wang Yuanlong nodded. Although he was courageous and combative, he knew when not to be impulsive.

The Black Leopard Bandit Group outnumbered the Yang family, this number indicating the count of immortals, at least two hundred in flight, and the leader had three full moons rising behind him!

Moonlight Emperor! Three Wheels Moon!

On the Yang family’s side, Wang Yuanlong was also a Moonlight Emperor, but with only Two Wheels Moon, they were slightly outmatched in terms of top-tier combat strength.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

Both sides roared, and meeting the viciously violent Star Sea bandits, the people of the Yang family no longer harbored any hope of good luck, there was only the path of desperate struggle!

Only by fighting desperately could they possibly repel these Star Sea bandits. If they harbored thoughts of fleeing, they were destined none would survive!

Boom!

As blades clashed closely, both sides immediately plunged into a bloody battle. In the sky, Yang family’s void ship rolled out three heavy cannons. At the muzzle flashed a small white dot, which quickly expanded into a human head-sized orb of light, and then grew and grew until it was as large as an adult man hugging, before fiercely shooting out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, three balls of light, swift as radiant beams, streaked across the sky, bombarding the Star Sea bandits’ void ship.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

As the orb of light struck, a screen of light suddenly erupted from the bodies of the star pirates’ ships, managing to block the three light cannons. The impact caused a dazzling display of light, like fireworks.

Oddly enough, the star pirates’ void ship did not counterattack but simply maintained a passive defense.

Zhou Heng knew that this was definitely not because the star pirates had gone soft-hearted but because they did not want to damage the Yang family’s star ship, which they already considered to be their property.

How to break this situation?

Zhou Heng wasn’t worried about the Moon Shadow Saintess and Huo Tian aboard the star ship; in this kind of situation, the Moon Shadow Saintess would surely hide inside the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, and with Huo Tian overseeing things, who in the world could cause trouble?

The key point was that since the star pirates had neither bombarded the Yang family’s void ship nor initiated a boarding attack, Huo Tian was currently in an absolutely safe state.

This Peerless Heavenly Maiden was still unable to actively stimulate the terrifyingly inexplicable power inside her body—unless she lost control of her emotions, in which case, under such circumstances, Huo Tian’s battle power was effectively nullified!

Zhou Heng sighed; he was truly rather unlucky, having encountered a Stardust Storm and a Star Charm juvenile as soon as he arrived in the Immortal Realm. Hardly had he boarded a favorable vessel when he immediately encountered the star pirates!

Since he didn’t have to worry about Huo Tian and the others, he just had to take care of himself!

There was only the battle!

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, lunging forward with both fists swinging, his golden fist light blazing through heaven and earth!

There were about two hundred immortals here for him to slaughter, perfect for boosting his accumulation of spiritual power!

Since he had only just joined the Yang family and, in name, held the title of vice-captain, in reality, he had not integrated into the Yang family’s combat system at all. Therefore, he could act independently without affecting others.

"You brat, surrender your life!" a bandit shouted at Zhou Heng, swinging a blackish-green broadsword with five Waning Moons shining behind him.

Theoretically, this person possessed the battle power of the Late Period of First Layer Moonlight, ranking him as a skilled fighter among Moonlight Kings. Zhou Heng had only just broken through, and the aura surging through him was still quite unstable, obvious to any experienced individual at a glance.

It’s just the Initial Period of First Layer Moonlight, an easy target to play with!

Zhou Heng performed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, moving fluidly through the attacker’s force. This was the Kong Family’s most closely guarded secret, and had it not been for a combination of chance and Kong Aokun’s madness, how could Zhou Heng have possibly learned it?

This technique might very well be at the level of the Creation Realm, its rank far surpassing both the Overturning Heaven Palm and the Feiyu Seven Swords, with only the Sky-soaring Nine Forms outmatching it.

"You’ve learned a pretty good movement technique, kiddo!" The man suddenly retracted his broadsword, licked his lips with his tongue, and revealed an incredibly lewd smile, "You look rather handsome, so why don’t you become my boy toy? It might even save your life!"

Zhou Heng’s face darkened instantly, a strong intent to kill rising in his heart.

Everyone was engaging in bloody combat right now; surely no one would intentionally pay attention to him, right? Good!

Zhou Heng flicked his right hand, and the Black Sword was already being unsheathed.

"Haha, kiddo, you think you can take me on with that broken sword of yours? Hehe, I’ll play you to death!" The man laughed shamelessly, his sword descending in a chop aimed at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng snorted lightly, his left hand moved rapidly, reaching for the man’s neck.

"How dare you!" The man roared in anger, attacking straight for the center, which was the utmost contemptuous move, treating him as nothing!

In the star pirates, where men were plentiful and women scarce, the occasional captured woman would quickly be played to death. But what could they do when they were burning with desire? The only option was to find good-looking men to satisfy their needs!

He had originally planned to keep Zhou Heng as a boy toy, but Zhou Heng dared to look down on him, which instantly ignited his ferocity, eradicating any pity he might have harbored.

All five Waning Moons shone with great brilliance as he swept the sword with all his might!

He wanted to slay this arrogant lad with a single strike!

Just then, nine Waning Moons suddenly materialized behind Zhou Heng!

Nine Wheels Moon!

"Wha- What!" The man paled in horror, almost spewing blood.

In the Immortal Realm, let alone a gap of a minor realm being like heaven and earth, even within the same minor realm, the difference between the initial, middle, and late periods was as vast as the gap between major realms in the Mortal Realm.

This was vividly reflected by the number of Moon Wheels; an additional Moon Wheel meant battle power would increase by tens or even a hundredfold!

Nine Wheels Moon against Five Wheels Moon was absolute domination!

How could this guy, who had just broken through to the Moonlight Realm, possibly have Nine Wheels Moon? Damn it, was this even human?

He, he, he was done for!

With an absolute overwhelming of power, the man had no chance to resist at all before Zhou Heng grasped his neck, as easily as if he were holding a chick. Like a chick, he was lifted by Zhou Heng, then with a flash of the Black Sword, whoosh, blood surged, directly piercing the man’s chest.

Being stabbed in a vital spot by the Black Sword meant death for anyone!

The man didn’t even shudder before he was sent to his demise!

Zhou Heng casually took his broadsword—after robbing two wealthy young men from the Linghu family, he was not short of Immortal Level space artifacts. Twisting his body, he continued his onslaught; the killing field was his playground. (To be continued.
