Chapter 736: Chapter 713: Battle Against Bing Xinzhu Again (3/3)

The Saintess Lord is taken?

Tsk tsk tsk, just who is that lucky man who could marry their incredibly beautiful and outstanding Saintess Lord!

The seven young men and women at the gate couldn’t help but show a gossipy look as Zhou Heng and Bing Xiulan disappeared into the dense forest, and they were bursting to spread the absolutely explosive news! No, they must tell others; otherwise, they’d feel so uncomfortable keeping it in!

"Little girl, aren’t you afraid your sister will gag you and turn you into a mute for life?" Zhou Heng sighed, this girl was really throwing her sister under the bus.

"Nonsense, my sister is so good to me!" Bing Xiulan gave him a big eye roll.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, "Then why are you so eager to marry off your sister?"

"That’s because I care, understand? Care! It’s my duty as a sister to find a satisfactory husband for my sister, what’s wrong with that?" Bing Xiulan said self-righteously, and if you didn’t know her personality, you’d definitely be fooled by her.

"Keep bragging!"

Bing Xiulan confidently led Zhou Heng on a winding path, and when they encountered disciples of the Taiyi Sect along the way, the girl enthusiastically introduced him—This is my sister’s husband!

Believe it, within half a day, the entire Taiyi Sect would know that their Saintess Lord had been "married" off.

Finally, the two arrived at a lotus garden.

There were lotuses everywhere, of all different species and colors. And among these lotuses, many Immortal Herbs were growing—truly rare herbs that would even make the Creation King envious!

Zhou Heng suddenly had the urge to move this lotus garden into his Immortal Residence, and he had to restrain himself, following Bing Xiulan to walk slowly towards the center of the garden.

There, there was a huge lotus, the lotus body as big as a tree, with nine leaves co-existing, the flower as large as a well cover, and on top, a white-clothed woman was sitting cross-legged, her skin white as snow, her hair black as ink, her pretty face so beautiful it was startling.

It was Bing Xinzhu.

"Sister, I’ve brought you your brother-in-law!" Bing Xiulan immediately waved and called out, not minding at all about pushing Zhou Heng into the fire pit.

Bing Xinzhu, who was originally meditating with her eyes closed, couldn’t help but twitch slightly at Bing Xiulan’s call. She opened her beautiful eyes, adding a touch of elegance, which instantly elevated her charm by a notch.

"Good to have you back!" she said indifferently, not taking Bing Xiulan’s words to heart, otherwise, she would have been angered to death many times over. She glanced at Zhou Heng, her eyes showing a trace of annoyance and an indescribable complexity.

Being "disrespected" by Zhou Heng was just one of her Dharma Aspects, but when the Dharma Aspect returned to her body, she couldn’t distinguish between them at all!

That detestable young man dared to take liberties with her, and even forced her to sign an agreement, forbidding her from troubling him for ten years! If she had killed Zhou Heng back then, or vented her anger severely, she might have forgotten him long ago.

But because she took a loss, she kept thinking about the event from time to time, imprinting Zhou Heng deeply in her memory.

Naturally, it was an image of sheer awfulness.

"You can go now," she said coldly to Zhou Heng, seeing that he had now returned to his adult appearance, she could naturally recognize that face at a glance—especially that carefree expression, which irritated her the most.

"Brother-in-law, look, my sister wants to elope with you so soon!" Bing Xiulan clapped her hands and laughed.

Bing Xinzhu’s pretty face twitched again as she scolded, "Xiulan, don’t talk nonsense!"

"It’s not really nonsense though, we’ve hugged, we’ve kissed, who else do you want to marry?" Zhou Heng said with a slight smile, annoyed with her attitude. Since she had no regard for him, he might as well annoy her to death!

What, what!

Bing Xinzhu’s pretty face turned white with anger as she exclaimed, "Who has kissed you?"

"Oh, so we haven’t kissed, that must be my mistake; but we’ve definitely hugged, right?" Zhou Heng said with a smile.

Bing Xinzhu was struck to the core, she had indeed been hugged by Zhou Heng, and even bumped with a gunshot! Facts were facts; how could she argue?

"Sis, did you really with him—" Bing Xiulan’s dark eyes spun non-stop in surprise, then she made a sudden realization, shut her mouth immediately, and started to smirk, with an ’I understand’ look.

What do you understand, it’s a misunderstanding!

Bing Xinzhu was on the verge of tears; it wasn’t like that at all, there was really nothing between her and Zhou Heng!

"Saintess Lord, it’s terrible, Saintess Lord!" Just then, a red-clad woman rushed in, panting and saying, "Everyone is talking, talking—"

"Talking about what?" Bing Xiulan asked curiously.

"Huh, Second Miss, you really came back?" The red-clad woman got startled.

"What, I can’t come back?" Bing Xiulan said discontentedly.

"Of course you can!" The red-clad woman quickly replied, but hesitantly glanced at Bing Xinzhu before saying, "Everyone is saying that the Saintess Lord already has a husband!"

Pfft!

Bing Xinzhu’s vision darkened, nearly falling off the lotus, she could almost spurt blood.

——It’s already common knowledge?

"Yes, my sister’s husband is also my brother-in-law, which is him!" Bing Xiulan affectionately linked her arm with Zhou Heng’s, without any hesitation, "Let me introduce him to you, his name is Zhou Heng. Although his strength isn’t quite on par with my sister’s for now, he has another identity, that of a Ten Stars Pharmacist!"

"Te-Ten Stars Pharmacist?" The lady in red was startled before suddenly realizing and exclaimed, "Holy Pharmacist Lord Zhou Heng!"

"Exactly, my brother-in-law!" Bing Xiulan beamed with pride. Her background was already formidable, and now that she had a Holy Pharmacist to rely on, she could practically do as she pleased in Juexian City.

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Bing Xinzhu hurriedly interjected, this little sister really knew how to cause trouble. But the man before her was actually the recently-famed Holy Pharmacist Zhou Heng—a surprising turn of events!

Moreover, his strength... the Sunshine Emperor!

Too terrifying!

He was only at the Sunshine King level before, so how had so little time passed and he had already become the Sunshine Emperor? The speed of his cultivation level advancement left her in the dust!

"The last fight didn’t satisfy me, dare you battle me once again?" Zhou Heng challenged Bing Xinzhu.

"Are you asking for misery? As you wish!" Bing Xinzhu spoke indifferently.

She was someone who kept her promises; previously, she had agreed not to trouble Zhou Heng for ten years, but now that Zhou Heng had challenged her, it was as if he had delivered himself to her doorstep! However, the identity of a Ten Stars Pharmacist was too significant; she couldn’t possibly use this opportunity to kill Zhou Heng, but to beat him black and blue was certainly no issue.

"Brother-in-law, I offer you my spiritual support; if you win against my sister, carry her straight to the bridal chamber!" Bing Xiulan cheered Zhou Heng on from the sidelines.

This girl, always bucking her own family!

Bing Xinzhu was infuriated, was she, the sister, inferior to an outsider?

"To the martial competition grounds!"

With so many spirit grasses planted here, it was naturally impossible to fight on-site; and as a major sect, the Taiyi Sect must have a place for sparring, right?

Zhou Heng and the others swiftly arrived at a vast square. The area was protected by a formation, meaning that no matter how chaotic the inside became, not a single trace of destruction could occur—unless the power level exceeded the limits of the formation.

But the formation here was set by a Super Creation Emperor of the Taiyi Sect from the past and had been reinforced over countless years. Even a Super Creation Emperor would not be able to break through it easily, revealing the defense’s immense strength.

As soon as the news spread that Saintess Lord was going to duel someone, it naturally attracted nearby people to come and watch, and soon a rumor spread that the person Saintess Lord was dueling was her fiancé!

With the news getting out, more and more spectators flocked to the event, nearly overwhelming the entire square.

Zhou Heng and Bing Xinzhu stood face to face in the center of the square.

"I am the Sublimation King, and you are merely a Sunshine Emperor. It would be beneath me to win, so I will suppress my power to the same realm as yours," Bing Xinzhu said lightly.

"No need!" Zhou Heng shook his head as he clenched his fists, "Otherwise, you will inevitably lose!"

"Arrogant!" Bing Xinzhu’s eyebrows rose; Zhou Heng’s words had pricked at her pride.

"Haha, you’ll know once we fight!" Zhou Heng’s right hand shook, and the Black Sword was already offered up, while on his left fist, a hundred and twenty-three Broken Runes coalesced—he did not dare underestimate the woman in front of him.

He feared no one in a fight at the same realm, but his opponent was the Sublimation King, a king who had pierced through the realm barriers; sheer strength compared to a Sublimation Sovereign, crushing him countless times over.

This was not like in the Imperial Dragon Hall, where formations suppressed cultivation levels; he had to give his all.

Bing Xinzhu smiled faintly, her hand waving gracefully, and a Red Lotus suddenly bloomed, sweeping towards Zhou Heng.

Bang!

Zhou Heng’s Sword Fist moved in unison, the force of twenty-one Sun Wheels roaring within him, but his Blood River Heavenly Scripture hid his aura, leaving his Sun Wheels unseen.

Bing Xinzhu showed a trace of astonishment; the power of her opponent was excessively strong!

He was merely a Sunshine Emperor, yet his power exceeded even that of a Two Aspects Sublimation King? When she had broken through to Sublimation King, she was only at Fifteen Wheels Sunshine King and had not been able to break through the realm barriers. However, what she failed to achieve had been accomplished by another!

For the incredibly proud Bing Xinzhu, this was a tremendous blow.

Just how many Sun Wheels did this fellow possess?

Bing Xinzhu suppressed her power to the level of a Three Aspects Sublimation King and began to exchange blows with Zhou Heng; she had cultivated another Heavenly Scripture, with equally fearsome battle power! But with Zhou Heng wielding the Black Sword, who could match him when their powers were equal?

Either she needed to increase her strength, or... with a clear ringing, Bing Xinzhu offered up her Immortal Artifact—a sword that was as serene and cold as water.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The two engaged in fierce combat; although the Black Sword had no special abilities, it was exceedingly tough. In the sweeping storm of Sword Qi, any defense formed by Spiritual Power crumbled to nothingness before it, terrifyingly powerful!

Bing Xinzhu’s Immortal Sword was at least of the King Level. Though limited by her own strength and unable to fully unleash its potential, it was sturdy enough to clash with the Black Sword without damage.

Sword matching sword, scripture against scripture, the two fought to a standstill. (To be continued.
