Chapter 143: The Seventh Young Master of the Yue Family (2/3)
Zhou Heng left the mysterious world and returned to the imperial capital, where he found a new inn to stay in.
Now that mysterious world also has a name, named Fengxiang Lin Di by the Fengxiang Sect, to show the ownership of the Fengxiang Sect over that mysterious world. The name doesn't matter, as long as you can get in.
Although the Nine Xuan Trial Tower had a reserve of dry rations and clear water, so that one wouldn't starve to death, Zhou Heng's first thing to do after coming out was still to decide to go to a restaurant to have a good meal. The purpose of this cultivation wasn't to be able to eat bitterness.
He arrived at the famous Sanxiang Building in the city, because many warriors had come to Fēng Xiào Lín for a big battle these days, and also brought many demon beasts of various levels to the wine building, adding many new dishes.
However, whether anyone dares to eat the demon beast meat that comes out of it is another matter. Anyway, Zhou Heng didn't order any, he just asked for some regular stir-fries, and the demon beast meat only serves to increase his cultivation accumulation, some taste good, but not every kind of demon beast meat is like that.
Zhou Heng poured himself some wine and started drinking alone. At this moment, he missed the lively atmosphere when Lin Fengxiang and An Yumei were by his side.
Before long, the sound of laughter and chatter rose, and Zhou Heng's gaze swept across the staircase, where he saw four people coming up from downstairs. The first was a handsome young man in a green shirt, with a cultivation level that had just reached the third peak of the Three Realms. Following closely behind him was none other than Liu Yue!
This guy had his four limbs severed by Zhou Heng, but unexpectedly, in just one month's time, he was already able to walk freely.
Behind Liu Yue were two more people, both young men. Their cultivation was also at the initial stage of separation, but they obviously lacked foundation. They could only watch as Liu Yue and the green-shirted youth chatted and laughed together.
Liu Yue's gaze inadvertently swept over Zhou Heng, and suddenly he paused, his pupils dilating, revealing a look of shock, fear, and hatred.
"Liu Yue, what's wrong?" The young man in the green shirt stopped and turned his head to ask when he saw Liu Yue suddenly fall behind a step.
"It's nothing, just ran into an acquaintance?" Liu Yue revealed a hint of a smile. Then she leaned in close to the young man in green and they sat down at a table, frequently casting glances at Zhou Heng, but it was unclear what Liu Yue had said to him.
Zhou Heng didn't care about this kind of person who only relied on the prestige and blessings of their elders, he didn't put them in his heart at all.
After a while, the two young men who had no sense of existence among the four Liu Yue suddenly stood up and walked to Zhou Heng's table. One of them said: "Zhou Heng, my young master wants to see you, get up!"
Zhou Heng's chopsticks didn't stop moving as he said lightly: "I'm very busy, whoever wants to see me should come themselves!"
"Kid, my young master is the seventh young master of the Yue family from Langyue country, Yue Hu!" The man put one foot on Zhou Heng's desk. "The Yue family, do you know? That's a family with the existence of Shanhe Boundary's Old Ancestor, just one finger can suppress all of Hansong country!"
No wonder Liu Yue suddenly became bold and dared to take the initiative to provoke. It turned out that there was also a certain Yue Jia Qi!
"Take your dog feet down!"
"Huh?" The man's eyes snapped open. "You dare scold me, kid?"
"Ah!"
"Haha, are you threatening me?"
Two!
"It's no use even if you count up to one hundred!"
Three!
Zhou Heng's eyes turned cold, and he punched out with a loud crash, hitting that person's calf.
In the face of the momentum, did that person have the ability to resist and dodge? Instantly, he was hit by a punch, "Ah——" He let out a miserable cry, his small leg twisted at an angle that a normal person could not achieve.
"You're too loud, this is a wine house, don't affect other people's appetite!" Zhou Heng punched out again, and the legless man suddenly flew up in mid-air, crashing into the table leg of Liu Yue's table with a thud.
"Bastard!" Another young man was furious, drew out a long sword from his waist and slashed at Zhou Heng.
"Get out!" Zhou Heng's fist instantly turned golden, and with a loud crash, the young man's long sword was broken in two. Zhou Heng's fist didn't stop, and he struck the young man's chest directly.
Bang! The man also flew up and collided with the legless man from before.
"Ah——" The crippled man was hit like this, his broken bones pierced into the flesh, and he immediately let out a miserable cry.
From the first person taking off to the second person falling, the whole process took only a few seconds. The people in the wine house didn't react until then, and they all stopped their chopsticks and put down their wine cups, looking over this way.
The whole audience was silent as if all the birds had stopped chirping.
Few people know Yue Hu, but many people know Liu Yue, and everyone knows that he is a formidable ancestor who cannot be provoked! But surprisingly, someone dares to provoke him, this is really bold and reckless!
"That's Zhou Heng!"
"Is that the person who defeated Jingtian?"
"That's right, this guy is now the most famous among the younger generation!"
"But can't be compared with Liu Yue!"
The guests were in an uproar, and the news of Zhou Heng's previous confrontation with Liu Qingxuan and Nan Gong Changkong was blocked. Although it had been circulated within a small circle, it was still a secret to most people.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The young man known as Yue Jia Qi Shao, Yue Hu, suddenly clapped his hands and looked at Zhou Heng with a smile: "You're quite bold, I admire you!" He walked up to Zhou Heng, "From now on, follow me!"
He looked at Zhou Heng with a proud expression, as if it was a matter of course.
Zhou Heng burst out laughing and said: "Are you worthy?"
"If I don't have this qualification, who else does?" Yue Hu still had an extremely arrogant expression.
Zhou Heng was too lazy to bother with this idiot anymore and continued eating and drinking on his own.
"What a big nerve!" Yue Hu's face suddenly darkened, "You hit my man and think you won't pay the price?"
Zhou Heng sighed and said, "Why do people always think the whole world should revolve around them? How annoying!" He raised his head and shouted, "Get out!"
"Haha, Liu Yue, you're absolutely right! This kid is indeed arrogant!" Yue Hu stepped on Zhou Heng's desk with one foot and turned back to smile at Liu Yue.
"Seventh junior, be careful!" Liu Yue suddenly shouted.
Boom!
Yue Hu had not yet reacted when he was punched in the chest, and his whole body suddenly flew up before heavily falling to the ground, colliding with the two men from before into a heap.
"Ah——" The legless man let out a miserable cry again.
"What a big nerve you have!" Yue Hu was not seriously injured, and immediately jumped up, but it made Zhou Heng slightly surprised. According to his estimation, this punch could make the opponent lie in bed for several days.
Zhou Heng revealed a hint of a smile and said, "Don't mess with me!"
Yue Hu stared at Zhou Heng, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth as he said, "It's too late, you've already enraged me, and you'll regret it!" He crushed a jade token in his hand.
Do you want someone to help?
Zhou Heng sat still, possessing the Swift Cloud Stride and the Nine Profound Trials Tower. He was not afraid of the Earth Shattering Realm or the Sky Opening Realm, but as for the Mountain River Realm, he didn't know yet. The gap between their levels was too great, it's possible that before he even realized it, he would be killed by such a strong expert!
The strongest of the Yue family is also just a mountain and river boundary, so Yue Hu definitely doesn't have the qualifications to command such a strong person.
Just a few breaths later, there was another black-clad man in the building, about 40 years old, with a cold face. He bowed to Yue Hu and said, "I've seen Seventh Young Master!"
"Peng Shu, kill him for me!" Yue Hu pointed at Zhou Heng, his face full of murderous intent.
That man in black was a dependent of the Yue family, serving as their guest fighter in exchange for the Yue family's masterful guidance in martial arts. This was also a common tactic used by all the prominent families in Langyue Country. Although Yue Hu was a young master, his realm was slightly lower than the other party's, so he naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous in his words.
"Yes!" The man in black responded with another voice, then turned his head around, two sharp sword-like gazes staring at Zhou Heng, "Kill yourself, I can leave you a whole corpse!" He said lightly.
No one thought there was anything wrong with what he said, and the difference of a small boundary is an overwhelming advantage, let alone a big boundary!
Although Zhou Heng had a safe haven in the Open Heaven Realm, behind Yue Hu's back was the mighty Yue Family, and a strong cultivator from the Mountain River Realm could suppress An Luo Chen with just one finger.
Therefore, Yue Hu naturally would have no reservations.
Zhou Heng didn't look at the man in black, but instead fixed his gaze on Yue Hu, with flames of anger and killing intent burning in his eyes.
You really think that just because you're from Langyue Country, you can do as you please and decide who lives or dies?
Zhou Heng revealed a hint of a dangerous smile, turning to the black-clad man and saying: "You'd better keep an eye on your master, otherwise... this world is quite treacherous, and it's easy to lose one's life if you're not careful!"
Everyone gasped in shock, this guy was really bold, daring to threaten a strong cultivator of the Earth-Shattering Realm! But thinking about it, since the other side wanted to kill him anyway, what's the need to swallow his anger and remain silent?
" Ignorant little brat!" The man in black hummed coldly and slapped Zhou Heng with his palm.
Zhou Heng's figure flashed, and he didn't engage with the black-clad man. Instead, he shot towards Yue Hu, capturing the thief before capturing the king. Even if he killed the black-clad man, what would be the point? He was just a dog after all.
"How dare you!" The man in black shouted, his body bent, and he grabbed towards Zhou Heng.
"You really think I'm afraid of you?" Zhou Heng snorted, without even turning his head, he waved his left hand and a colorful lotus flower quickly formed, shooting towards the black-clothed man, while his right hand continued to charge towards Yue Hu's head.
Boom! Boom!
Two consecutive muffled sounds, the black-clothed man's fist slammed onto the Eight-Colored Lotus Flower, and was instantly blasted flying by a terrifying force. At almost the same time, Zhou Heng's fist also landed on Yue Hu's head, but a white light surged forth, forming a light shield that actually blocked Zhou Heng's punch, and instead sent him stumbling backward.
This string of events almost happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone only saw Zhou Heng and the man in black flying out, without knowing what had happened. And at this moment, the entire building collapsed with a loud crash!
A collision of powers at the level of splitting the earth, and this tavern doesn't even have an array formation for protection - getting hit by a single thread of residual power would be enough to destroy it instantly!
Fortunately, everyone in the wine building was a martial artist and naturally wouldn't be injured by the broken beams and walls. They all jumped out of the ruins, still confused.
The smoke and dust dispersed, Zhou Heng stood proudly, while the black-clothed man was solemnly guarding in front of Yue Hu, that young man was protected by the white light and was unscathed.
