Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 817 - 794: Helpless (3/3)

"You don’t dare to kill me!" Ma Yu shouted loudly, unsure whether to intimidate Zhou Heng or to bolster his own confidence.

"You’re just the kind of idiot I would kill!" The Black Donkey rolled its eyes, "Zhou, this ungrateful fellow cannot be trusted. If you don’t kill him now, once he meets his family’s elders, he’ll surely have them take you down!"

"You’re not a stupid donkey, seems like you’ve done this kind of thing before!" Zhou Heng laughed.

"Fang Yirong, Yang Xinghua, Tai Yuan, are you just going to watch? This guy is a madman, if he kills me, you won’t survive either!" Ma Yu was not a fool; at least he could see Zhou Heng’s murderous intent was firm and unwavering!

So, trying to intimidate Zhou Heng with words was unrealistic. The only option was to pull Fang Yirong and the other two onto his side; together, the four of them could surely stand against Zhou Heng!

At worst, they could perish together. Zhou Heng might not dare take the risk!

But he was too wishful; after Fang Yirong and the other two exchanged glances, they didn’t even lift a finger.

As bystanders, they could see clearly that Zhou Heng’s strength was too formidable, surpassing them by a large margin. Even if the four of them joined forces, it would only lead to death! Besides, they had no life-and-death relationship with Ma Yu, why should they accompany him in his madness?

Betting on Zhou Heng might still offer a slight hope for survival, whereas joining Ma Yu would lead to a dead end!

No one was a fool; the choice was obvious.

Zhou Heng’s right hand trembled, and the Black Sword was already summoned—he had no interest in keeping someone around who wished him harm. As for the Ma family’s reaction? It was none of his business! He was here to seize the Seven Stars Fruit, knowing full well he would make enemies, aiming to fight to the death!

The Ma family, whatever—he wasn’t a Star Sea pirate, so there was no need for scruples!

"You, you, don’t come any closer!" Although Ma Yu was a Sublimation Emperor, infamous as a Star Sea pirate, he was a pampered flower that had grown in a greenhouse, never having experienced true adversity.

With death looming, he naturally panicked!

Fang Yirong and the other two kept silent, needing to firmly stand their ground now to avoid being swept away by Zhou Heng!

"How dare you! How dare you! My family’s elders will definitely kill you! They will!" Ma Yu suddenly screamed hysterically and, leaping up, he fought desperately! Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—eleven Dharma Aspects shattered, transforming into billions of starlight particles that surged into his body.

In an instant, his aura began to skyrocket!

An Eleventh Aspects Sublimation Emperor self-destructed all Dharma Aspects, temporarily boosting his battle power to rival even those with Eighteen or Nineteen Aspects. Had it not been for the Creation Realm’s impenetrable barrier, he might have wielded the power of a Creation King!

"If you want me to die, I’ll take you all with me!" Ma Yu, after being pushed to the brink by Zhou Heng, revealed his fierce nature, glaring viciously at Zhou Heng and Fang Yirong and the others, obviously hating all four of them.

They got implicated for doing nothing!

Fang Yirong and the others felt an urge to cry; they really had done nothing, so why were they hated so much?

"Die!" Ma Yu struck swiftly; the power boost from self-destructing his Dharma Aspects wouldn’t last long, at most half an hour, so he had to win quickly! If he couldn’t kill Zhou Heng and the others in twenty minutes, he would escape immediately. Although his cultivation would fall to a Sunshine Emperor, as long as he survived, he could regain his cultivation level!

It would be ideal to force the four of them to self-destruct as well, making it a lose-lose situation. If his cultivation fell drastically, why should anyone else have it easy?

"You’re overthinking it!" Zhou Heng’s left hand reached out, golden light flickered, and the Five Elements Runes overflowed.

Boom!

He punched Ma Yu in the chest, and a stream of golden light immediately shot out through Ma Yu’s back!

Ma Yu staggered back, incredulously looking down to see a transparent hole in his chest, where his heart used to be empty and hollow!

Even with the robust life force of a Sublimation Emperor, the heart was a critical point, and with such a severe injury, Ma Yu felt all the terrifying power that could shatter the sky with a punch instantly drain away completely!

He blankly looked up at Zhou Heng, but all he saw was an exceptionally dark sword light, and then he lost all consciousness.

Zhou Heng retracted the Black Sword, his expression calm and unfazed. Without even glancing at Fang Yirong and the others, he grabbed the Black Donkey and headed towards the nearest light pillar.

Fang Yirong and the others exchanged looks for a while, then sighed helplessly and followed, using their movement techniques to catch up to Zhou Heng.

In this extremely dangerous place, sticking with a relatively stronger person like Zhou Heng offered a better chance of survival.

This formation far exceeded the original island, possibly like an alternate space similar to an Immortal Residence; otherwise, a few steps in any direction should have reached the edge.

The previously found Kirin Bone was probably a poor soul from ancient times trapped in this formation!

This massive formation should have been discovered by those two Chi Wei, maybe even tracing back to their ancestors several generations ago. They’ve always been spewing toxic mist, partly to strengthen defenses and partly to conceal the formation’s presence!

Otherwise, Zhou Heng might not notice anything amiss, but could a Bright Immortal level expert be equally clueless?

But now with poison mist swirling everywhere, it naturally can cover all traces! freёnovelkiss.com

As Zhou Heng walked, he thought about how this formation is absurdly massive. Even though he was heading for the closest light pillar, a whole day passed and he still hadn’t reached it, still at quite a distance away.

"Furnace, any suggestions?" Zhou Heng asked the Fire Divine Furnace in his Dantian.

"Don’t die?" the Fire Divine Furnace said cheekily.

"Heh, you think I can’t deal with you without the rune on my forehead?" Zhou Heng laughed.

"... You guessed correctly, those ten light pillars are the array eyes, but breaking them won’t be easy unless you call out the Great Witch number two!" The Fire Divine Furnace dared not really provoke Zhou Heng, as behind him stood two Great Witches, each capable of making it submit obediently.

"Nonsense, I would have called her out already if I could!" Zhou Heng curled his lips. The Immortal Residence was completely sealed by the formation’s power, and he couldn’t get in. He even tried attacking it, but too little force was dissolved by the formation’s power, and too much... he didn’t dare.

Because if he accidentally sent Hongyue into Void Space, things would be even worse!

Once this witch goes berserk, the entire Immortal Realm would be expecting to be destroyed again!

He and the Black Donkey walked ahead, while Fang Yirong and the two others followed behind, neither side speaking. Another day passed, finally, the first light pillar was not far away!

By this time, Zhou Heng didn’t rush forward but instead halted, saying, "Ladies, let’s part ways here! Don’t follow me anymore, otherwise, if I accidentally kill you, it wouldn’t be good!"

He laughed heartily, his figure leapt up, and he dashed away swiftly.

Fang Yirong and the others looked at each other and naturally didn’t dare follow Zhou Heng but instead ran towards that light pillar.

Soon, they arrived beneath the pillar, and suddenly, two figures flew up, emitting an aura beyond the Creation Realm.

"Old Ancestor—" Tai Yuan immediately exclaimed excitedly. He had been on edge these two days, having to guard against monsters that might appear from the formation at any time, and worry about whether Zhou Heng would suddenly turn hostile, keeping his nerves extremely tense. It wasn’t until now, seeing his family’s Old Ancestor, that he finally relaxed.

"Tai Yuan, it’s good that you’re okay!" The Old Ancestor of the Tai family also breathed a sigh of relief. This was the most outstanding member of their family’s younger generation.

"Where is Ma Yu from my family?" Another equally imposing elder asked, "Why are there only a few of you?"

Under this light pillar, only two Star Sea pirate forces were present, and coincidentally, besides the Tai family, the other force was the Ma family.

Fang Yirong and the others showed an unnatural expression instantly.

"Where is Ma Yu? Speak!" The Old Ancestor of the Ma family shouted angrily. Ma Yu, too, was their family’s most gifted in the younger generation, but he had been training within the family for a long time, hence was inexperienced, leading him to be brought out for some real-world experience.

"Brother Ma, please calm down!" The Old Ancestor of the Tai family said, since they say even hitting a dog depends on its owner, and he couldn’t bear to speak harshly to Tai Yuan, naturally, these outsiders shouldn’t berate him.

"Ma Yu is dead!" Tai Yuan decided to tell the truth after slight consideration.

"Dead? How could it be? You’re talking nonsense!" The Old Ancestor of the Ma family roared in anger, reaching out to grab Tai Yuan but was slapped away by the Old Ancestor of the Tai family, forcing him to withdraw his hand. Yet, Tai Yuan was not alone here, and he immediately directed his gaze towards Fang Yirong and the other woman.

"Ma Yu is really dead!" At this point, Fang Yirong and the other woman naturally wouldn’t hide anything for Zhou Heng, and promptly recounted how Zhou Heng killed Ma Yu. But the three of them clearly coordinated their statements, completely dissociating themselves from the incident, showcasing their adeptness at handling such situations.

"Zhou Heng!" The Old Ancestor of the Ma family roared to the sky, "Coward, show yourself! Show yourself! Show yourself!"

Only echoes reverberated all around.

Fang Yirong and the others thought to themselves, challenging a Sunshine Emperor with a Bright Immortal level, as if he’d show up, not likely!

"Brother Ma, please calm down, don’t forget we’re still trapped here. If we don’t find a way to break the formation, we’ll all die here, and any grudge will be settled at that time!" The Old Ancestor of the Tai family advised.

"What! Old Ancestor! Even you can’t break this formation?" Tai Yuan exclaimed in shock. In his heart, the Old Ancestor was absolutely omnipotent, how could he say something like this?

Fang Yirong and the other woman didn’t speak, but their eyes revealed the same idea—Bright Immortals can’t break this great formation?

How could it be!

The Old Ancestor of the Ma family took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger. Killing an insignificant Sunshine Emperor is as easy as flipping a hand; encountering Zhou Heng would mean announcing Zhou Heng’s death! But if he can’t break through this formation, then he’d die first!

He hasn’t lived long enough at all!

"Brother Tai, let’s continue!" He said to the Old Ancestor of the Tai family. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
