Chapter 169: Lucky Victory (5/5, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  Zhou Heng didn't have a bad impression of him, at least this strong Open Heaven cultivator was still quite upright. However, this naturally couldn't make Zhou Heng produce any intention to retreat; he decided to go all out in this battle.

  He needs to know his own limits!

  Jiuyou Bingtian Jue!

  Zhou Heng's left hand pointed to the sky, and the Qinglong bloodline was activated. The giant fist in the sky was instantly wrapped in severe ice, and the cold air spread out, enough to make a Wu Zhe at the Splitting Earth Realm instantly freeze to death!

  Five Elements Lotus Break!

  A colorful lotus flower suddenly appeared and rushed towards that mountain-like icy giant fist.

  Boom!

  A deafening sound like thunder, even a warrior of the Split Earth Realm couldn't help but cover his ears. The momentum was too strong! Covering his ears didn't help, his eyes were still fixed on the sky, and he saw Li Ao's large hand being blown to smithereens, countless shards of ice flying everywhere, hitting him with a stinging pain!

  He's done it again! This kid has broken through another Heaven's Gate strongman with a single blow!

  Not only that, Zhou Heng passed through Li Ao's large hand, the black sword slashed, and a series of sword waterfalls were generated out of thin air, rushing towards his opponent.

  It's really a back-and-forth fight!

  Everyone was stunned, this kid is too overbearing, how can he be so against heaven!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Zhou Heng and Li Ao Bo clashed in close combat, both grasping the momentum, neither at a disadvantage in close quarters.

  Masters with similar boundaries usually avoid close combat, as it is too dangerous and often results in serious injury or even death. Everyone has worked hard to cultivate themselves, not to die in a thrilling battle, so unless there is an irreconcilable feud, they will withdraw once the outcome is decided.

  Otherwise, you kill me today and I'll kill you tomorrow, maybe there will be a warrior left.

  Zhou Heng's guts are too big, he actually dares to engage in close combat with a strong opener of the sky realm. This is only possible when the combat power is equal, but this kid doesn't fear being punched into meat paste by Li Ao Bo?

  Unlike the attack derived from technique, those big hands and giant palms are all condensed spiritual energy, with strong attacking power, but absolutely cannot be compared to a real fist wrapped in spiritual energy!

  Just as a warrior can use spiritual power to wrap around ordinary objects and cut down enemies in the same realm, close combat means unparalleled danger.

  And Li Ao Bo is notorious for his brutal and overbearing nature, going head-to-head with him in a test of strength isn't just stupid?

  Zhou Heng is extremely overbearing, within the realm of splitting the earth, he can be called invincible, and even with the realm of opening the sky, he can still fight hard for a while, but only for a while. The gap between the realm of opening the sky and the realm of splitting the earth is indeed like the difference between heaven and earth, and it's not something that any amount of talent can make up for.

  Close combat requires equivalent strength, otherwise it's just being crushed instantly.

  "Kid, you really are bold and fearless!" Li Ao Bo burst out laughing. His physique was robust and his brute strength astonishing. No martial artist of the same realm had ever dared to engage in close combat with him.

  It's really a fresh thing to be deceived by a little kid who is only at the level of splitting land and forced into close combat.

  Zhou Heng even put away his black sword and struck with both fists.

  Boom!

  The two fists collided once, and Zhou Heng was instantly knocked back three feet. His body shape flipped at least seven or eight times in mid-air before landing on the ground. A flash of blood red color appeared on his face, and his right hand was already a bloody mess.

  "Isn't it foolish to try to match Li Ao's physical strength and endurance?"

  "Haha, this kid's entire right hand is ruined!"

  "That's natural, who let this kid really think he's invincible, serves him right!"

  Some people envied Zhou Heng and immediately started talking cold words.

  Zhou Heng's right hand shook, and the tattered flesh and skin all fell off, revealing his golden finger bones, without a single hair injured.

  His entire skeletal system had reached the level of a top-notch cultivator after being remade with large amounts of metal, while his right hand was where the pure blood of the Devouring Gold Tribe resided, and its tenacity was naturally even stronger.

  Can be compared with the Open Heaven Boundary!

  Zhou Heng let out a long whistle and closed in for another fierce battle. He didn't even bother to use his Bloodline power to heal his right hand, figuring that it would be crippled anyway after this intense fight.

  Li Ao Bai's eyes flashed with a hint of frenzy, as a physically robust person, he naturally also liked close combat, unfortunately not many people dared to fight him like that. Now seeing Zhou Heng dare to come over, it naturally also stirred up his frenzied will to battle.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Two people, one punch each, neither giving in, not a hint of trickery, purely a clash of strength - everyone grasped the momentum, and in close combat, neither side had any room to dodge.

  Against everyone's expectations, Zhou Heng's right fist, although it looked extremely miserable and only had a skeleton left, was tough enough to make anyone's eyes widen in shock.

  Not bad, not rotten, seemingly like gold, can withstand the test of time and last forever!

  "A normal person's bones are white, this guy must have practiced some kind of body refinement technique to turn his skeleton into gold!"

  "It's really against the heavens, he can actually go head-to-head with a strong expert in the Open Heaven Realm!"

  "Don't forget, Li Ao Bai just went through a big battle and suffered heavy losses in his spiritual power. At most, he can only exert one or two percent of his strength!"

  "It's still unbelievable!"

  Zhou Heng went crazy, his left hand wasn't as tough, constantly pushing out eight-colored lotus flowers, or triggering the Nine Underworlds Ice Heaven Seal, while his right hand was a relentless barrage of attacks!

  In front of me is a rock, boom! The high mountain, also boom!

  The way he pursues is the invincible way, and in terms of momentum, he will never lose to anyone.

  Fight! Fight! Fight!

  Zhou Heng's long whistle was like thunder, his battle intent had fully unfolded, the roots of his right hand's five fingers emitted a dazzling golden light, not giving off any desolate or frightening feeling, but instead having an unexplainable nobility.

  From the perspective of life, the Xirin tribe is far superior to humans. Every one of them is born with the ability to swallow metal and can grow their body to an extremely terrifying degree. Such a race naturally has a noble aura from birth.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Zhou Heng became more and more powerful, and actually made Li Ao Bo's feet unstable, starting to retreat step by step!

  It's not that Li Ao Bo's combat strength is not good, but his previous big battle really consumed too much of his power, and now he has at most only two or three tenths of his original strength left. Originally this was already enough to suppress any ordinary Earth-shattering realm cultivator, but who would have thought he'd run into Zhou Heng?

  Boom!

  Zhou Heng's final punch was thrown, and the terrifying force swirled around his golden finger bones, constantly evolving into strokes of symbols, as if they were the secrets of heaven and earth. At first glance, people felt a sense of enlightenment, as if they had grasped the great way.

  Li Ao's heart was shaken, he shifted his gaze from Zhou Heng's fist, otherwise he would have been punched by Zhou Heng. He countered with a punch towards Zhou Heng.

  But he was already at the end of his strength, and this punch was weaker than the last one. Zhou Heng, on the other hand, was in top condition, and under the circumstances, victory or defeat would be decided immediately.

  Li Ao Bai was suddenly blasted back a hundred feet, his body swaying, his face pale, and then immediately flushed with a wave of redness, as if a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, but he forcibly suppressed it.

  "You win!" Li Ao Bai showed the demeanor of a strong man, although he wasn't weaker than Zhou Heng, but rather because the previous battle had consumed too much energy. Losing was just losing, no need to make excuses!

  "Senior acknowledged!" Zhou Heng cupped his fists and bowed, with no hint of pride on his face.

  For him, winning or losing is not important, what's important is knowing his own limits.

  Li Ao Bo looked deeply at Zhou Heng for a moment, then turned around and left by himself.

  It's not hard for everyone to understand that although Li Ao Bai lost with a good reason, losing to someone who is far superior would be humiliating, so he could only leave quietly, and staying behind would only make him a laughing stock.

  "The six wars have ended, and the distribution plan for the Ling Stone Mine has also been released! The White Dian Country and the Tu Luo Country each occupy 30%, the Shui Yuan Country and the Han Cang Country each occupy 20%, a contract is signed, and from now on, no one can go back on their word, otherwise, the three countries will join forces to destroy it!"

  The dispute over the Ling Stone Mine has come to an end, although contracts are made to be broken, at least this situation is unlikely to change in the short term, unless a new power emerges in one of the countries, which can then forcibly alter the balance.

  For now, Zhou Heng indeed has such qualifications!

  Although his victory this time has too much luck, in another ten years, twenty years, or even just three to five years, he might be able to break into the Open Heaven Realm! And once he enters the Open Heaven Realm, who among the four major nations can still be his opponent?

  It's just that the Han Cang country managed to get an extra 10% of the minerals, and didn't get shaved bald, so they saved some face. But this face was earned by a single Earth-shattering warrior, which is really not something to be happy about.

  Especially Nan Gong Changkong and Liu Qingxuan, they both have deep concerns, the stronger Zhou Heng is, the more they cannot be at ease.

  We must take advantage of this kid's inexperience and get rid of him before it's too late, if we let him be, he will become a threat to ourselves!

  The crowd did not disperse immediately, and it also took time to formulate a contract. It would probably take another day for everyone to return on their own.

  Fang River Clear came to Zhou Heng's tent again, congratulating him in person. However, the words of invitation were no longer mentioned. He had self-awareness and knew that Zhou Heng, a Nine-Heaven Dragon, was not someone he could subdue - at least not for now.

  It was Fang Xiwen who was full of emotions, originally wanting to confess to Zhou Heng, but saw Xiao Huoshui being intimate with Zhou Heng, that woman who made her surrender at first sight, beautiful and charming, the love in her heart suddenly turned into flowing water.

  In front of Xiao Huo Shui, she was just an ordinary girl, why did Zhou Heng look at her more than once?

  ……

  "There's an ambush——" In the middle of the night, a loud roar came from afar, and a figure stumbled and rushed over, surprisingly it was Li Ao Bai!

  However, he now looks miserable and is covered in blood, as if he has suffered a huge injury. This was not the result of Zhou Heng's attack, but rather an injury he had just received. But who could have inflicted such serious injuries on him? After all, he is in the Open Heaven Realm, and perhaps someone from one of the four major countries can defeat him, but to severely injure him would be extremely difficult.

  Who is behind this?
