Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 590 - 569

Under Zhou Heng’s intense gaze, the five individuals involuntarily shivered, their bodies instantly drenched in cold sweat.

They were not unaware of Zhou Heng’s strength, but under the coercion and temptations of the Yu, Sun, and Fu families, they had been forced to give false testimony. However, now that they sensed Zhou Heng’s bone-chilling murderous intent, they couldn’t help but feel an immense fear rising from the depths of their hearts.

"Villain, this is the Heavenly Might Hall. What do you think you are doing?" one of them mustered the courage to shout at Zhou Heng.

"Hmm, threatening a witness, what a big guts you have!" Yu Tian said coldly, as he sent a palm strike hurtling towards Zhou Heng.

Boom!

A shadow flashed across the sky, a giant hand repelled Yu Tian, and an aged voice echoed, "Yu Tian, bullying a junior, have you no shame?"

"Situ Kang!" Yu Tian’s complexion changed, and he almost gnashed his teeth as he spat out each word.

Situ Kang was his old rival; the two were similar in age and cultivation level, competing with each other every step of the way, yet Situ Kang always had the upper hand. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or the pursuit of women—Situ Kang always had the last laugh. They both participated in various contests and competitions, and even if Situ Kang didn’t come first, he would always beat Yu Tian by at least one rank.

It seemed Yu Tian was born to be bested by Situ Kang.

A major part of the reason why the Yu family quickly joined forces with the Fu family to take down the Situ family was due to Yu Tian’s deep-seated enmity with Situ Kang.

The saying goes, meeting one’s nemesis makes the blood boil in the eyes!

Zhou Heng still fixed his murderous gaze on those five individuals, his killing intent almost tangible, piercing to their very souls!

Sun Shangyuan frowned, considering the Situ Family’s move rather unwise. Why protect Zhou Heng in this manner? The simplest solution would have been to expose the false testimony of these five men—at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion that day, there were at least several hundred people present. Would it not be easy to find a few more witnesses?

The false testimony of these five was merely to test the Situ Family; the final judgment would still depend on the votes of the fifteen families. Whether Zhou Heng was actually guilty didn’t really matter.

The Yu, Sun, and Fu families made the first move, and the Situ family not only didn’t respond but also counter-attacked in an almost brutal manner. What did this mean?

If Zhou Heng were to kill these five "witnesses," it would surely influence some originally neutral powers to lean towards their Yu, Sun, Fu alliance and cast their votes for Zhou Heng’s guilt.

The Situ Family was defending Zhou Heng; if he were to be found guilty, the Situ Family would face great loss of face and prestige!

Why would the Situ Family make such a foolish move?

Anyone capable of cultivating to the Moonlight Emperor level was no fool. Sun Shangyuan couldn’t understand why the Situ Family not only failed to stop Zhou Heng’s recklessness but also cheered him on!

It seemed as if... the Situ Family was flattering Zhou Heng, trying to curry favor with him!

Yes, that was the sensation!

But why? Could it be the boy wasn’t as simple as he appeared or as the investigations suggested; that he had a powerful backer not just the insignificant Yang family, but something far more fearsome?

Perhaps a family from the Sunshine Realm!

Indeed, that would explain a lot: why the Situ Family would flatter Zhou Heng, why he could be a Moonlight King at such a young age, and possess the terrifying strength of the Eight-Wheel Moon that can break through realm barriers!

The chasm between Moonlight and Sunshine was insurmountable!

Upon this realization, Sun Shangyuan hesitated, wondering whether he should continue down this path.

To stop now, what if he was wrong? Betraying the alliance would mean facing contempt; who would dare to cooperate with the Sun family in the future? But what if Zhou Heng truly was a clansman of a Sunshine Realm power?

He was deeply conflicted.

Zhou Heng’s killing intent enveloped the five individuals. To dare slander his woman was akin to seeking death!

"Zhou Heng, this is the Heavenly Might Hall. Are you daring to commit a murder in public?" Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, five figures flew out, positioning themselves in front of the perjurers, the presence of Moonlight Emperors vibrant and unceasing.

Access to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion required the backing of a Moonlight Emperor. Even if they were no match for the Situ or Fu families, they could certainly match the Yang family, bringing out one or two Moonlight Emperors.

With experts from the Fu and Yu families restrained by the Situ family, and the Sun family evidently without the intention to act, they had no choice but to step in personally.

The five Moonlight Emperors were as if facing a formidable enemy, having heard the original accounts of Zhou Heng monopolizing the Fu family’s ten great Moonlight Emperors. This youngster possessed a high-tier Immortal Artifact, a truly formidable force!

Humming sounds resonated as full moons were conjured, and even though their colors were mixed, the terror of a Moonlight Emperor was incomparable. The might of a full moon was sufficient to keep a Moonlight King from even raising his head.

Among them, the weakest was a One-Wheel Moonlight Emperor, while the strongest was a Three-Wheel Moonlight Emperor.

Zhou Heng stood protectively in front of Yang Lanxin and the Moon Shadow Saintess, his right hand flicking outwards as the Black Sword was summoned.

"Zhou Heng, you dare to make a move in the Heavenly Might Hall? You’re defying the heavens!" Many who were not involved couldn’t help but feel dismayed at Zhou Heng’s boldness as if their own dignity was being challenged.

This was the Heavenly Might Hall, home to the fifteen great families!

Who would be pleased to see someone acting recklessly in their own home?

Zhou Heng didn’t reply, simply summoning his Half Moon.

One-Wheel, Two-Wheels, Three-Wheels... Eight-Wheels, Nine-Wheels!

"What!"

Seeing the ninth wheel Half Moon, all present exclaimed in shock, and even those from the Fu, Yu, and Situ families stopped their actions, displaying looks of utter disbelief.

Nine Wheels Moon! Nine Wheels Moon!

Of course, the Nine Wheels Moon was shocking, nearing the limit of the Immortal Realm’s Ten Wheels Moon! There had been precedents, so the surprise should have been merely followed by admiration and respect for Zhou Heng’s potential!

The key is, this guy was only an Eight-Wheel Moonlight Sovereign three days ago!

Just three days later, he became a Nine-Wheel Moonlight Sovereign!

This, this, what the hell is going on? Is there anyone in the world who cultivates this quickly?

A complete Bright Moon, not just a newly emerged crescent!

Perhaps three days ago, Zhou Heng didn’t give it his all? Yes, that must be it, otherwise how could anyone cultivate a complete wheel of the Bright Moon in just three short days!

"Those who block me, die!" Zhou Heng said coldly, with a little figure appearing above his head, making a fierce and angry expression.

"How dare you!" bellowed the five Great Moonlight Sovereigns simultaneously. What they really feared was Zhou Heng’s Hundred Ghosts Sword, not so much Zhou Heng himself. After all, a Nine-Wheel Moonlight Sovereign was at most equivalent to a One-Wheel Moonlight Emperor.

The weakest among them was also a One-Wheel Moonlight Emperor, and with the five of them joining forces, how could they be afraid of a Nine-Wheel Moonlight Sovereign holding a Broken Blade?

"Seeking your own death!" Zhou Heng snorted coldly and pushed his Swift Cloud Radiant Step to the limit, shooting forward rapidly.

His heart was boiling with the desire to kill, and he brought out his full strength right from the start!

The golden figure glared, its breath sweeping out like waves and tides!

The lineage of the Great Eternal Emperor, the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon, inherently had the ability to weaken the opponent’s momentum, and in Zhou Heng’s hands, it had escalated to another level, even comprising a hint of Rune power!

How high-end is a Rune? Even the mighty Rong Jianlong was smashed to pieces!

Even if it was just a hint of power blended into the momentum, it was absolutely terrifying!

Sword Breaking the Heavens!

Nobody expected his speed to be so fast, and the five Great Moonlight Sovereigns, caught in the midst of it all, were constrained in spirit and greatly diminished in strength, caught completely off guard!

Puff! Puff!

Two heads flew up, and two Moonlight Sovereigns became headless corpses in an instant, blood spurting wildly from their necks as they fell to the ground!

What!

People had yet to recover from one shock when another struck!

To kill a Moonlight Emperor in one move, who could do that? Even a Peak Moonlight Emperor couldn’t!

It’s easy for cultivators of the same realm to determine a winner, but to decide life and death is difficult because nobody is a fool. Knowing they are outmatched, they would not fight to the death; wouldn’t they flee?

But Zhou Heng did it!

Moonlight Sovereign killing Moonlight Emperors! With just one move! Killed two at once!

Any one of these three accomplishments would cause a sensation, let alone all three combined!

Zhou Heng sighed inwardly; this could happen once but not twice. He had overwhelmed the five with his momentum and taken advantage of the surprise speed of Swift Cloud Radiant Step, the sharpness of the Black Sword, and the leverage of the Feiyu Seven Swords to instantly kill two Moonlight Emperors.

But from now on, everyone would be prepared, and it would be difficult for him to kill again!

"Good, good courage!" Everyone frowned with displeasure as they spoke.

Zhou Heng’s strike was earth-shattering, but it had also aroused public indignation.

As someone on trial, he even dared to commit murder in Heavenly Might Hall, completely disregarding all the families! This was an outright provocation!

Situ Ling couldn’t help but frown. The situation seemed to be getting out of hand! The Situ Family was not afraid of Yu, Sun, and the three families combined, and they were hoping to use Zhou Heng’s opportunity of becoming a Three-Star Pharmacist to crush them!

But nobody expected Zhou Heng to be so bold and powerful, to strike down two emperors with one sword! freewebnσvel.cøm

Why haven’t the people from the Pharmacists Association come yet!

For the first time, Situ Ling felt a sense of powerlessness as if the situation was no longer under his control. This made him uncomfortable as he liked to be the chess player with everything under his control, down to every soldier, every move.

Before arriving, Zhou Heng had reclaimed the Nine Mystic Trial Tower. He had a faint realization that wherever he went, trouble would follow. Facing the scrutinizing stares of the high-tier Moonlight Emperors, he was unconcerned. He took Yang Lanxin and the Moon Shadow Saintess into the Treasure Pagoda, then with a flick of his left hand, the Hundred Ghosts Sword appeared!

So what if he faced thousands of enemies?

"Don’t you all surrender to me now!" At least sixty or seventy of the hundred Moonlight Emperors from Heavenly Might Hall charged at Zhou Heng, pressing down on him together.

Killing someone in the Heavenly Might Hall had touched their bottom line!

Yet the citizens watching through the Formation saw this scene and did a complete one hundred and eighty-degree turn in their opinion of Zhou Heng!

They didn’t care about Zhou Heng’s grudge with the Fu Family; all they saw was Zhou Heng killing the people they hated, those who flaunted their power over them!

To the upper echelons, the Heavenly Might Hall was their symbol of authority, their face! But to the ordinary people, the Heavenly Might Hall was a stone pressing down on their heads, making it hard for them to breathe and to straighten their backs!

They’d heard about the incident three days ago, and as ordinary people well aware of the nature of rich young masters, many inclined toward Zhou Heng because many of their sisters, daughters, and relatives had suffered humiliation at the hands of those spoiled scions!

United in vengeance!

Now that Zhou Heng was openly killing in the Heavenly Might Hall, this brought them great satisfaction!

Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Heng underwent a splendid transformation in the hearts of the people.

The battle was about to erupt. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
