Chapter 47: The Ambush in White Jade Valley
Continue to ask for tickets for the next three rivers, currently ranked fourth, being chased very tightly, don't want to be exploded by others.

"What kind of person are you?" Zhou Heng's gaze swept over the man blocking his way, a robust man in his thirties, who despite it being only early February and extremely cold weather, was bare-armed, revealing bulging muscles like rocks.
Blood energy soaring, domineering without equal!
Blood Refining Realm!
And it's not just an ordinary Blood Refining Realm, but a top-notch expert in the 12th layer of Body Refining!
"Little kid, you think the one who killed Bai Yu Gu can just leave with a swagger?" The robust man said in a low voice, his tone rumbling like thunder.
Bai Yu Valley!
It's true that the golden sign of Hei Shui Dian was there before, and Bai Yu Gu didn't dare to kill anyone at the door. The rule that no one can take action inside Feng Yu City is also a common agreement among the three major sects!
Moreover, Zhou Heng is on good terms with the people of Heishui Temple and has even gained the attention of Tianbao Pavilion. Such a person is only suitable for being secretly eliminated!
That's why there are hijackers on the road!
It should be a strong man from the gathering spirit realm who is seeking stability, so Zhou Heng will not have any power to resist!
Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. He knew his own strength, but Bai 'Yu' Gu was unclear. Wasn't sending out a 12th-layer Body Refining expert enough? Not to mention the 12th layer, even the 10th layer would be a sure win!
Zhou Heng's smile fell into the eyes of the sturdy man, instantly making him furious. This 'bastard' kid actually dared to show a mocking smile, he was really asking for death.
"You can still laugh, that's good, but soon you won't even be able to cry!" The burly man darted over and reached out to grab Zhou Heng. He was ordered to bring Zhou Heng back, so he naturally couldn't kill him, or else he would be guilty of a crime.
Zhou Heng unfolded his Fei Yun step, his body slanting and slipping past several people, cleverly dodging the strong man's attack.
"Huh!" The sturdy man missed a hit, and his face involuntarily revealed a hint of unusual color.
In his opinion, a mere nine-layer Body Refining peak youngster shouldn't be hard to capture, yet he actually let him slip away, this truly gave him a shock.
"Hmph, escaped once, and now a second time?" He stretched out his large hand again to grab Zhou Heng.
"Looking for death!" Zhou Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and since they had never met before, there was no grudge between them. Unfortunately, their stances were different, so he naturally wouldn't surrender easily.
Clang, long sword out of scabbard, Flying Waterfall Sword Technique!
"What!" The burly man retreated in a flurry, but his arm still gained several white marks.
The Fei Pu Jian Fa is one of the three strongest martial arts of the Jiuling Sect, and after Zhou Heng's improvements, its power has naturally increased. Moreover, Zhou Heng's strength has also surged greatly, and even the peak of the 12th layer of Lian Ti will be affected by his sword!
It's indeed worthy of being the ultimate technique of the Jiǔ Líng Sect, able to defeat a stronger opponent with a single sword strike despite being weak!
Although there was a reason for the strong man's underestimation of his opponent, if it weren't for the absolute mysteriousness of the sword technique, how could he have achieved such an effect?
"Fei Pu Jian Fa?" The burly man's eyes flashed with astonishment, "How could you possibly learn the Nine Spirits Sect's Town Suppression Absolute Skill?"
Just like Bai Yu's Valley's Scarlet Flame Heart Palm, this is almost a unique skill exclusive to the Sect Master.
"This has nothing to do with you!" Zhou Heng smiled faintly and swung his long sword in a circle.
"Hmph, the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, you only have a 9th layer Body Refining cultivation. The gap between us is simply too great!" The robust man shook his hands, "You fundamentally cannot break through my defense!"
"Haha, I've got you captured! From now on, this valley will have one more 'gate' of unparalleled skill!"
He burst out laughing loudly, like a falcon swooping down, and then attacked Zhou Heng again.
Zhou Heng's feet unfolded flying cloud steps, his long sword swung and chopped like lightning, one sword after another chopping on the strong man's body.
The Fei Yu Jian Fa was extremely profound, and it wasn't until Zhou Heng reached the 9th layer of Lian Ti that he could truly unleash its power. Unfortunately, the gap in strength between him and the robust man was also very obvious. The long sword chopped down like chopping at a stone, leaving only white marks, unable to even cut through the skin!
Zhuang Han initially dodged a few times, but couldn't withstand the agility of Fei Pu's swordsmanship. He simply didn't bother to dodge anymore and let Zhou Heng's sword chops come at him, only protecting his eyes, nose, and lower body from harm. He stepped forward, pressing in on Zhou Heng, relying on his superior realm to overwhelm him.
"Kid, this is the difference in realm!" He laughed maniacally.
Zhou Heng remained unmoved in voice and expression. For him, a twelve-layered cultivator like his opponent was the best whetstone to hone his skills, and he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.
"It's almost time to end this!" The burly man suddenly reached out with one hand, incredibly fast, and actually grabbed Zhou Heng's long sword, not letting him take it back. "Do you really think I can't handle you? The Flying Waterfall Sword Technique is indeed mysterious, but you've used it seven or eight times in front of me, can't I see through it?"
He pulled hard, and Zhou Heng's long sword suddenly fell out of his hand, being snapped into seven or eight pieces with a series of crisp cracks!
This is the power of the 12th layer of Body Refining!
"Come on, kid, follow me quietly and you'll suffer less physical pain!"
Zhou Heng let out a sigh, took down the Frostbite Sword from his back, and unwrapped the cloth layer by layer: "You could have lived for a while longer!"
"What?" The burly man laughed furiously, "Can you still kill me?"
As they spoke, Zhou Heng had already untied the cloth and revealed the Frost Cold Sword.
Seeing Zhou Heng still holding a sword in his hand, the burly man's face twitched involuntarily. He had endured so many swords from Zhou Heng just to find an opportunity to snatch away his opponent's weapon, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng to have a second sword!
What kind of person is this, actually carrying two swords!
You're not even using dual-wielding swords!
Clang, Frosty Sword out of its scabbard, emitting a clear and crisp light 'hum', sealed for too long, as if protesting to Zhou Heng!
Zhuang Han's face changed color, and with his eyesight he could naturally see how sharp this sword was at a glance!
"Scared?" Zhou Heng said calmly, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary.
"Hmph, a mere nine-layer Body Refining cultivator!" The burly man's gaze was icy cold, and although he seemed disdainful, he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. He shook his fists and adopted a strange attacking stance.
"This is Tyrant Fist!"
He had already circulated his true yuan force throughout his body, and his voice was like thunder in one's ears: "Although it can't compare to the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique, it is still a top-notch existence among mid-grade martial skills!"
"With the power of three higher realms, I can blast you with just one punch!"
"The boss told me to bring back a live person, but didn't say it had to be an intact one!"
Zhuang Han let out a loud roar and threw a punch, unleashing a torrent of True Essence that compressed the air into a wave, which hurtled towards Zhou Heng.
"Overlord's Thousand Strikes!"
Boom, boom, boom! He continuously blasted through the air, forming wave after wave of air, like a mighty sea roaring, each wave crashing towards Zhou Heng!
He was the treasured sword of Zhi Yan, and he didn't mind using his true yuan force to attack from a distance. However, with the power of twelve layers of body refinement, it had already reached a terrifying degree, and even if he were to strike out at empty space, it would be enough to instantly shatter Zhou Heng's body!
Zhou Heng let out a cold hum and his body shot out, his divine sense instantly expanding, the situation on the field immediately became crystal clear in his mind.
Seventy-four air waves are blasting towards him from different angles!
Flying Cloud Steps unfold, Zhou Heng advances instead of retreating!
His body slid like a fish, shuttling through the waves of air, and he walked out a path in the midst of the precipitous mountains!
"How is this possible!" As he watched Zhou Heng step by step approaching him, the burly man's heart was filled with an indescribable shock.
He knew that any attack could not be made seamless, and there would always be a breakpoint or a flaw. However, through the refinement of technique, this flaw could be continuously reduced and even concealed!
The Overbearing Fist has a flaw, but it can be considered a mid-grade martial skill, and this flaw is extremely minute! The most crucial point is that he is using the 12th layer of Body Refining to execute it, while his opponent only has the 9th layer!
In the face of absolute power and speed, the so-called opening is actually negligible, because the weak can't even grasp that one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred million chance!
However, he now saw such a freak who grasped the almost negligible flaw in his moves and charged forward with irresistible force!
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Heng had already arrived right in front of him!
This is the result of Fei Yun Bu and Zhou Heng's meticulous and thorough divine consciousness working together, neither can be missing.
Ling Tian Third Form!
The sword intent went crazy and the true yuan force in his body was quickly drained, Zhou Heng swung out a sword that could destroy the sky and earth, dazzling!
One sword slash!
Pffft! Fresh blood sprayed three feet high. This sword chopped past, and surprisingly cut the robust man in half at the waist!
Zhou Heng suddenly sat down on the ground, Ling Tian Jiu Shi was not something that humans could wield, even if he had already grasped its subtleties, swinging out a single sword still left his strength completely exhausted.
If using Fei Pu Jian Fa, then paired with Shuang Han Jian is still a stable win version, but a stable win does not represent a stable kill!
His actual cultivation was only at the 9th layer of Body Refining after all, if that sturdy man wanted to escape he would fundamentally be unable to catch up, thus he must strike a fatal blow!
Since they want to capture him and bring him back to die, Zhou Heng has nothing good to say, only one word: Kill!
Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Once you take action, show no mercy. Zhou Heng had this realization when he first embarked on his martial path.
He searched the body of the strong man, but except for a few silver tickets, there was nothing else. When he counted them up, these few silver tickets added up to more than 5,000 taels. However, when he saw the mark on the silver ticket, Zhou Heng's mouth twitched involuntarily.
This is actually opened by Tianbao Pavilion!
He put away the silver ticket, he was now so poor that he didn't mind giving out money for the dead, after taking a deep breath, he continued to venture into the Pingtian Mountains.
The feud with Bai 'Yu' Gu will be completely settled one day!
Three days later, he returned to the Valley of Cold Springs, at this time his true yuan force had reached its best state and could impact the Blood Refining Realm!
"What the... Who is this audacious fellow who dares to barge into my 'cave' residence?" A voice like a broken duck's quack rang out, and a black donkey also appeared in front of Zhou Heng.
"You're this stupid donkey!"
"My ancestor's, I am a divine donkey!"
The black donkey suddenly bit Zhou Heng.
