Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Any conditions you wish to set?

It truly reeks of a nouveau riche's arrogance, but unfortunately, what conditions could he offer to Zhou Heng?

Find Huo Tian? Bring him to meet Huo Tian?

What a joke!

Zhou Heng stared coldly at the other party, saying, "I don't care about the competition for the recruitment token, but the fact you dared to attack a little girl infuriates me!"

"Infuriates you? Hahaha, infuriates you?" Young Master Long burst into laughter, even glancing to his left and right, making his subordinates laugh insincerely, though they didn't know what they were laughing at.

He suddenly stopped, pointing at Zhou Heng, "What right do you have to be mad? Do you know who I am? The eldest son of the Pang Family! Just one word from me, and you'd be cut down in the streets!"

Is this guy really the son of a major family, or the leader of a gang? Everything he says reeks of banditry.

"Brother Zhou, there's no need to be angry. The Pang Family has only risen in the past few decades and can't shake off their base and filthy nature," Qi Yuan said lightly.

"You're Qi Yuan!" Young Master Long, who was naturally Pang Shaolong, looked at Qi Yuan and suddenly sneered, "So what if you're from the Qi Family? Can't you touch the tiger's backside? I just did, what can you do about it?"

"Pang Shaolong, you're only bringing trouble upon yourself!" Qi Yuan's tone remained indifferent, as if he disdained to speak to him.

"Hahaha, my family is now linked to the vice dean of the Great River Academy, what does the Qi Family amount to?" Pang Shaolong said arrogantly, full of pride.

Fool!

Qi Yuan said in his heart, having no interest in debating with an imbecile.

The Pang Family really isn't much, they've only emerged in the past few decades, lacking any real foundations! And the Great River Academy has at least a hundred vice deans, many with grudges among themselves, and they wouldn't easily start a big fight, let alone over their lackey!

However, the Qi Family has a legacy spanning millions of years, with the family ancestor serving as a vice dean at the Dayuan Academy, holding a position of high power!

Although the Dayuan Academy ranks below the Great River Academy, the Qi Family naturally can't compare on the same level as a vice dean from the Great River Academy, but the other party would have to consider the consequences of taking action against the Qi Family!

Also, doesn't the Qi Family have higher-level backing within the Great River Academy? When it's just "dogs" fighting, for their owners to intervene would break the rules!

Of course, Qi Yuan would never admit his family was just a lackey; with their million-year legacy, the blood in their veins is of utmost nobility!

Being temporarily inferior doesn't matter, one day they will soar to the skies!

Qi Yuan smiled slightly at Zhou Heng, "Brother Zhou, feel free to take action, as long as no one dies, I'll take responsibility for everything!"

Pang Shaolong's aggression was actually aimed at Qi Yuan, but it coincidentally involved Zhou Heng. Whether he liked it or not, Qi Yuan had to step forward, otherwise, he'd lose face as Qi Family's eldest son.

Therefore, whether he liked it or not, he had to firmly support Zhou Heng.

"Hahaha, Qi Yuan, have you lost your mind?" Pang Shaolong sneered dismissively, "Don't forget, you've already been defeated once! How dare you brag now?"

"That was because Brother Zhou and I weren't present!" Qi Yuan smiled slightly.

"Just the two of you?" Pang Shaolong laughed loudly, but noticing that he was the only one laughing, he looked around, prompting the others to catch on and hurriedly laugh as well.

"I alone am enough!" Zhou Heng interjected, his anger simmering, in need of venting.

"You're enough, my ass!" A burly man suddenly charged forward, swinging a fist at Zhou Heng. The punch carried a gust, winds howling, and three red dots appeared on his fist.

Clang! Clang! Clang! As his fist approached Zhou Heng, the three red dots each shot out a sharp blade, cold and eerie, striking terror!

Seeing Zhou Heng neither dodging nor flinching, everyone showed a ferocious expression.

Being struck by these three sharp blades, even if that burly man held back a portion of his strength, it would be enough to grievously injure Zhou Heng!

As long as he doesn't die!

Smack!

At that moment, Zhou Heng casually slapped out, hitting the burly man's face. The tremendous force abruptly tilted the man's body, slamming him into the ground.

The power of that slap was terrifyingly great, burying the man's face into the ground, leaving only his neck exposed, he fainted on the spot.

Gasp!

How could this happen?

Everyone was shocked; Zhou Heng's strike seemed casual, without any flair, so how did it knock their companion out cold?

Unfazed, Zhou Heng began to advance towards Pang Shaolong.

"Take him down for me!" Pang Shaolong eyed the recruitment token in Zhou Heng's hand. Although some people were out "hunting," the remaining outnumbered Zhou Heng, surely they could capture him!

If he could seize the scores from Zhou Heng and Qi Yuan, he could simply hide away for the remaining two days, securing the top spot!

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, more than a dozen people leapt out from behind Pang Shaolong, weapons brandished. Those unarmed simply punched and kicked, surrounding Zhou Heng.

"Are you afraid?" Zhou Heng looked down and asked Jiang Zishuang.

"Tiantian is not afraid!" The little girl indeed was not scared at all, instead, she opened her eyes wide with excitement.

"Then watch closely!" Zhou Heng raised his head, his eyes gleaming sharply.

Since he had lowered his head to speak earlier, he missed the best opportunity to break through or to make a rapid attack. When he looked up again, more than ten attacks had already come his way. Eight weapons were aiming at his head, two palms and three fists targeted his chest, and three legs kicked towards his abdomen.

This guy is doomed!

Of course, saying he's doomed is an exaggeration; at such close distances, evading is nearly impossible. At the very least, he would take more than ten hits! The Life Force of a Bright Immortal is resilient; unless a special weapon hits a vital spot, even severe injuries are just injuries and not fatal.

As long as no one's dead, it doesn't matter if they're maimed. The Qi Family can handle it, surely the Pang Family can too?

The attacks were perfectly coordinated!

Buzz!

Zhou Heng's gaze widened slightly, and the attacks of more than ten people abruptly stopped, as if time itself had frozen. Their movements were instantly suspended, looking extremely peculiar.

Again, it's this move!

Qi Yuan exclaimed inwardly; this was not the first time he had witnessed it. Previously, in the Ant Emperor Nest, Zhou Heng had used this move to flatten the entire ant nest.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Zhou Heng casually delivered palm strikes, sending one person flying with each hit. Rows of teeth flew out, and streams of blood splattered. He hit hard, shattering and dislodging all their teeth with one strike, distorting their entire faces!

If not for the prohibition against killing here, given Zhou Heng's current fury, each palm strike would have directly annihilated the Divine Soul!

With the Five Elements Rune, he could completely achieve that!

After more than ten palm strikes, everyone around him was sent flying away. The ground was covered in crimson blood and fragmented teeth, an unsettling sight.

The people here weren't unfamiliar with bloodshed; killing was not uncommon. But watching Zhou Heng, expressionless as he shattered everyone's teeth, an inexplicable chill arose in their hearts.

"Wow, Uncle, you're amazing!" Jiang Zishuang clapped and praised. The little girl wasn't afraid of such a bloody scene.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly without speaking, only fixing his gaze on Pang Shaolong.

"What are you dazing about? Get him! Get him!" Pang Shaolong, chilled by Zhou Heng's gaze, continuously retreated while shouting sternly, "Are you all useless?"

Under his pressure, everyone dared not refuse. Again, more than ten people charged toward Zhou Heng, but this time their expressions were much more serious.

Buzz!

When they reached Zhou Heng, like the previous batch, their bodies froze, unable to move even a finger.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

Zhou Heng swung his palms casually, sending people flying with a single slap. Blood and teeth flew together, and each person hit was knocked out cold, lying on the ground as if dead.

Now, not only was Pang Shaolong retreating, but everyone else was also horrified and couldn't stop backing away.

A god of wrath!

"Get him! You useless lot, you eat my food, enjoy my resources, and now when it's time to serve me, you're scared?" Pang Shaolong grabbed someone by the collar and pushed him out, kicking him on the backside.

Pang's henchmen were helpless. If they abandoned Pang Shaolong to escape now, they might lose their lives later!

Go for it, at least Zhou Heng won't dare kill you!

The remaining dozens let out a loud shout and charged at Zhou Heng, while Pang Shaolong turned and ran away. He couldn't bear to lose his points, so he naturally had to find a way to escape.

Bang!

He had only run a dozen steps when he felt a strong wind sweeping from behind, approaching so fast he couldn't react in time. The overwhelming force knocked him to the ground.

It was only then he realized he had been hit by someone, and that person was already unconscious, shockingly, his own henchman.

Turning in fear, he saw Zhou Heng smiling at him from a distance. Although it seemed gentle, it appeared terrifying to him. He quickly scrambled up, feeling soreness all over, and pressure in his chest that threatened to make him cough up blood.

Woosh!

Just as he got up, he saw a black shadow darting toward him, Pang Shaolong had no time to react before the heavy impact hit his chest directly.

"Wow––" He spewed a mouthful of blood, staggering back step after step, his face instantly turning ghastly pale.

The black shadow was again one of his men, who was naturally knocked out cold too after such a blow.

Gritting his teeth, Pang Shaolong removed a round ball that was entirely red and gray from his bosom. With a squeeze, buzz, a shadow enveloped him entirely.

This was a Treasure given by his family, called the "Shadow Light Shield," capable of withstanding impacts at the Star King level! However, this was not a Treasure Artifact; it was a one-time Forbidden Artifact. Once the energy was depleted, it would be completely consumed and unable to recharge.

"Hahaha, come on, come again, let's see what you can do now!" Pang Shaolong laughed arrogantly. (To be continued.
