Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 93 - Zuo Hongchen Arrives

As the spring breeze returned and it was uncertain how many times the plum blossoms had bloomed, Zhou Heng woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

He glanced at An Yumei, who lay sprawled like spring water on the bed, and couldn’t help feeling a rush of anger, quickly calming his mind as last night had been wild enough.

Leaving the Treasure Pagoda, he went to the courtyard and, bathing in the morning sun, he executed the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique again.

Seventeen sword shadows!

The breakthrough he had been struggling to achieve came so effortlessly that Zhou Heng, startled, immediately pressed his advantage.

Sixteen shadows, fifteen shadows, fourteen shadows!

In less than half an hour, he compressed the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique to nine sword shadows.

He encountered another threshold he couldn’t cross!

Zhou Heng did not force himself; he was still savoring the whole process.

It turned out that intimacy had such benefits!

Zhou Heng reflected attentively.

The great passion and desires allowed for the full release of stress, the excitement and exhilaration, nearly reaching a peak, were not inferior to a bloody, thrilling fight, and might even surpass it.

Yet a blood battle provided the pressure of life and death, whereas intimacy released stress.

They were complementary, each having a miraculous effect!

“Continuous battles are like a tightly strung bow; someday the bowstring will snap!

And the allure of intimacy, if one indulges, will sap the fighting spirit!

Neither is sustainable.

Balancing tension and relaxation, that is the principle!”

“One need not view intimate allure as dangerous.

While indulging is certainly improper, deliberate resistance only backfires!”

Zhou Heng smiled slightly, having gained insight into this matter.

He felt as if he had shed a burden, becoming extremely relaxed.

His physical and spiritual power surged, showing signs of progress.

“Ancients said true understanding brings enlightenment.

It seems there is truth in this, as just realizing one thing has already enhanced my strength.

If I were to gain complete enlightenment, could I actually become an immortal on the spot?”

Zhou Heng fell into a deep contemplation.

The idea of becoming an immortal instantly stemmed from ancient times, yet the concept of immortality remained elusive.

Martial Artists seek strength, while immortality suggests eternal youth and indestructibility, far beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Could there really be immortals in this world?

Although legends tell of ascension to immortality, neither in Origin Stone Town, Fengyu City, nor Tianhang City had he ever heard of anyone becoming an immortal.

He quickly shook his head.

Why ponder such things?

Even if immortals existed, they were not what he could currently aspire to.

Lin Fuxiang and An Yumei remained at odds, fortunately, An Yumei didn’t use her Initial Separation Realm strength to bully Lin Fuxiang.

However, her frequent display of intimacy with Zhou Heng in Lin Fuxiang’s presence only infuriated her even more.

As long as they didn’t come to blows, Zhou Heng preferred to stay out of it.

He closed off the third layer of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, forcing Gu Zi to rest.

She was already stretched too tight and might just torment herself to death!

Five days later, the day of Zhou Heng’s great battle with Kill All Directions finally arrived.

When Zhou Heng arrived at the Beast Fighting Arena with Lin Fuxiang and the two other women, he saw a sea of people.

Even before entering, the place was already packed, a dense crowd of heads.

It was unthinkable how many might die instantly if someone were to strike out with a palm here.

Fortunately, they had two experts at the Initial Separation Realm with them.

Releasing their spiritual power outward, the crowd automatically parted, forcibly clearing a path for them.

Seeing the three women’s stunning beauty, the crowd couldn’t help but drool.

Many had already recognized An Yumei’s identity and immediately exclaimed loudly, looking at Zhou Heng with envy.

That was An Ruochen’s only daughter, being able to marry her was tantamount to having a Third Layer Heaven Land Cleaving expert as a backer!

And this fellow’s fortune in romantic relationships was ridiculously strong as well—he had three distinctively charming and gorgeous women!

One was charmingly naive, one seductively alluring, and one wild.

Unbearable, the nosebleeds started flowing!

As the four of them passed by, men either had nosebleeds or clutched their groins, but not a single one dared to utter vulgarities, watching as the four entered the Beast Fighting Arena.

“Pah, what good is romantic fortune!

Facing Kill All Directions is akin to being a dead man.

Not even three hundred beauties would be of use, let alone three!”

“Exactly, he deserves to die!”

“Damn, who has a ticket?

I’ll pay fifty silvers to buy it!”

“Fool, someone just offered to buy it for three hundred silvers and no one was willing.

You think you can with fifty silvers?”

A wave of resentful voices erupted from the crowd; those who can’t eat grapes say the grapes are sour.

Zhou Heng entered the rest room, while Lin Fuxiang and the other two women proceeded to the private booths of the viewing stands, a privilege both Gu Zi and An Yumei deserved.

Previously, An Yumei had relied on her father’s favor, but now, she had also advanced to the Initial Separation Realm and could secure her place in Tianhang City on her own.

The battle hadn’t started yet when suddenly, a shadow soared through the sky, terrifying pressure enveloping the area, causing even the Initial Separation Realm experts to feel an unstoppable chill rise from within.

It was a Land Cleaving Realm expert!

Today’s battle had actually alarmed a Land Cleaving Realm expert?

“Who is this expert who comes to Tianhang City without a prior notice, causing us to miss the chance to welcome you?” A voice rang out from somewhere, followed by another terrifying aura sweeping through, resisting the pressure from before.

“Hmph!” Amid a grunt, both auras simultaneously retracted.

“Hahaha, old man has come today to support my disciple!” A very thin elder appeared in the stands, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping across the area making no one dare to meet his eyes.

This was the first Land Cleaving Realm expert to appear!

His disciple?

Was it Zhou Heng’s teacher, or Shangguan Qi’s?

Impossible for Zhou Heng; the lad was a disciple of Black Water Hall and it was said he hadn’t sworn fealty to any elder there.

Moreover, Black Water Hall only had three Land Cleaving martial artists, none of whom resembled this elder.

“How should we address you?” Another elder appeared, his presence immensely powerful.

Naturally capable of standing up to a Land Cleaving level, he was also at the Cultivation Level of Land Cleaving, though there was a clear gap in strength between the two, the first elder being much stronger!

“I am Zuo Hongchen, and my disciple is Shangguan Qi!” said the thin elder, glancing at his opponent with a thin, sinister smile, “I recall that the top expert of Tianhang City is An Ruochen, with Third Layer Heaven Land Cleaving skills.

You’re not him!

Second Layer Heaven… Ah, you must be Yan Pingsong, the Sect Master of Sea Mountain Sect, right?”

Hiss!

If the second elder was the Sect Master of Sea Mountain Sect, then Zuo Hongchen was even more powerful, perhaps at the level of Third Layer Heaven Land Cleaving?

Without An Ruochen making a move, this old monster was invincible!
