Chapter Thirty-Three: One Against Four

  Zhou Heng has gone crazy!

  Why use such a mysterious technique, instead of going head-to-head with Kong Xiang? Has he gone crazy? Refining the body to the seventh level is just that, refining the body to the seventh level. The gap between them is obvious, does he really think he can defy the heavens?

  Kong Xiang's mouth corners revealed a sinister smile, he would never show mercy!

  In the Jiǔ Líng Zōng, it is absolutely forbidden to kill people, but within the sect, there are no restrictions on the competition between disciples, and such behavior is even encouraged, because only through constant fighting can warriors truly grow!

  Zhou Heng revealed a faint smile.

  A loud noise, a powerful aura unfolded, rushing towards Kong Xiang!

  Ling Tian First Form!

  It's not swordsmanship, but the intent of the sword!

  Although Zhou Heng hasn't mastered the fourth move of Ling Tian yet, he has reached a considerable level in his study of the first three moves and can directly apply the sword intent within them!

  Kong Xiang's body suddenly paused, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

  Under everyone's incomprehensible gaze, Zhou Heng flashed past Kong Xiang's fist in an instant, advancing head-on and punching his opponent's face.

  Bang! Under the huge impact force, Kong Xiang's body was blown up and flew away, drawing an arc in the air before landing with a thud.

  Shocking!

  The entire venue was filled with heavy breathing sounds.

  What's going on?

  Kong Xiang fell quickly and got up quickly, his face was full of confusion and a few points of horror, his eyes stared tightly at Zhou Heng, but he didn't make another move.

  Just now, he was actually restrained by his own heart!

  Although it was just a brief moment, this point in time is enough to determine victory or defeat in battle.

  Does this kid have that kind of ability? But shouldn't that kind of ability only be developed after reaching the Gathering Spirit Realm?

  Shen Xin Qi's beautiful eyes shone with extraordinary splendor, giving rise to a strong desire to recruit her. Even if Zhou Heng didn't have a powerful background behind him, this kind of talent was worth valuing in itself.

  And Zhou Heng also had a set of wonderful body techniques. If she could learn them... her heart immediately warmed up.

  "Are you done?" Zhou Heng asked casually, watching as Kong Xiang's left cheek quickly swelled up, but in his heart he didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

  These people, relying on their high cultivation and strong combat power, actually forced the newcomers to crawl through their crotch. If it weren't for his repeated encounters with strange occurrences, his combat power and cultivation would be completely mismatched. Now, the person who was humiliated would have been him instead.

  Not worth sympathizing with at all!

  "Kong Lao Shi just admitted defeat like that?" Wei Quanhe walked out, a smile on his face, but his eyes looking at Zhou Heng were filled with chill, and he didn't make a move.

  His ranking is indeed higher than Kong Xiang's, but the gap in strength is not large, so he has no confidence in defeating Zhou Heng at all.

  "Wei Quanhe, you can try your hand!" But Kong Xiang didn't jump up suddenly, instead he took a few steps back.

  "No need for you to push me aside, all of you go together!" Zhou Heng pointed his hand at Kong Xiang, then at Wei Quanhe, and finally swept it towards Ren An Yi and Wei Jinping.

  Crazy!

  This kid is crazy, actually wants to take on four at once! Who does he think he is, Ma Yunlong, the third in the outer door ranking, or Guo Gang, the second, or even Ji Tian, the first?

  Only these three have such grandeur and strength!

  Boastful talk without real ability is just self-aggrandizement!

  "Cut, a mere seven-layered cultivator..." Wei Quanhe snorted disdainfully, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Heng had already charged over, startling him into making a defensive move. However, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Heng's figure had vanished.

  He knew he was in trouble, and sure enough, with a loud thud, he took a heavy punch to the back of his heart, which felt like it was on fire, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

  "You——" he roared in anger, but saw Zhou Heng already rolling away like the wind, launching an attack on Ren An Yi and Wei Jin Ping.

  Boom! Boom!

  The two were also punched in the face respectively.

  It seems that these three people cannot help but fight!

  Being punched in the face by a newcomer junior brother in public, if such humiliation cannot be washed away, how can one still have the face to see people in the future?

  All three of them let out a loud roar and pounced on Zhou Heng, while Kong Xiang was unwilling to face Zhou Heng alone, but with the three of them fighting side by side, he naturally had nothing to fear.

  The four great cultivators of the Nine Layers join forces to attack Zhou Heng!

  This is no ordinary 9th layer of Body Refining, the weakest among them are almost invincible at the same level, and these four people join forces, even a master in the Blood Refining Realm would dare to fight.

  Onlookers were all stunned, completely unexpected that Zhou Heng was so crazy! Even Shen Xinqi felt a little dizzy and began to reconsider whether to recruit Zhou Heng, because this kid is not only talented but also a troublemaker who doesn't know how to behave himself!

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The four great masters of the Nine Layers, with all their might, although not a single one used any weapons, the sheer force of their fists and palms was terrifying beyond compare, the whirlwind they stirred up could easily tear apart an ordinary person's skin!

  Facing such an attack, who among peers can withstand a single move?

  Zhou Heng's feet floated lightly, his cloud-like steps unfolding as he strolled leisurely, effortlessly evading the attacks of the four people surrounding him.

  His divine consciousness was greatly enhanced in the practice of Lingtian Nine Forms, and his control over the surrounding environment reached an extremely subtle level. The blood pulse and muscle relaxation of Kong Xiang's four people were all under his divine consciousness, and as soon as he moved, he knew what kind of move the opponent would make.

  Leave no stone unturned!

  Under the premise of controlling the overall situation, relying on the magic of Fei Yun Bu, Zhou Heng was agile and effortless under the siege of the four people, and from time to time he made a counterattack, using his long sword to slap the buttocks of the four people, making a loud slapping sound.

  "Bastard!"

  "You little scamp!"

  Kong Xiang and the four others were about to go crazy, they were actually spanked in public, did people think they were five-year-old kids? But no matter how angry they were, what could they do when faced with Fei Yun Bu's divine skills, they didn't even have a bit of temper left.

  "Back to back!" Ren An Yi shouted loudly.

  The other three were also enlightened, and the four of them stood tightly together, each facing a direction, like four heads and eight arms, with no blind spots at all.

  Zhou Heng also stopped, this flying cloud step was so mysterious that it couldn't get behind them no matter what.

  "Do you plan on just standing there and defeating me with your eyes?" He smiled slightly, his face full of mockery.

  Kong Xiang and the four others were so angry that their faces turned red, but facing Zhou Heng's strange movements, they had no countermeasures at all. Apart from this clumsy method, they really couldn't think of any other moves.

  Onlookers felt a mix of emotions, as the four incredibly powerful individuals were forced to retreat like turtles by Zhou Heng's single set of moves.

  Shen Xin Qi's eyes shone even brighter as she realized that she had underestimated the power of Zhou Heng's technique, and her desire to obtain it grew stronger.

  "In that case, I won't keep you company!" Zhou Heng shook his finger and turned to leave without any hesitation.

  At this time, Kong Xiangsi finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face alternately red and green.

  What face is left!

  Originally intended to give the new junior brothers and sisters a demonstration of power, but unexpectedly kicked against such a hard iron plate, it's really self-inflicted!

  Although the storm has subsided quietly, Zhou Heng's name had already spread throughout the outer gate.

  However, being able to take on four at once doesn't necessarily mean that Zhou Heng has the ability to defeat Kong Xiang and his men. This grudge was already formed, and under their intimidating power, no one dared to interact with Zhou Heng, fearing that they would become the target of Kong Xiang's attacks if they weren't careful.

  After two days, Zhou Heng had a deeper understanding of Wai Men and Jiuling Zong.

  The Jiǔ Líng Zōng does not prohibit disciples within the sect from engaging in combat, but it is limited to those of the same level, such as outer door disciples against outer door disciples and inner door disciples against inner door disciples. When engaging in combat, they are not allowed to use lethal weapons or cause injury leading to disability. Those who violate this rule will be severely punished!

  All-out fighting is allowed, but it must be conducted in a specially designated martial arts arena, with a high-ranking sect master present to stop the fight at the moment of victory or defeat.

  Of course, not all outer sect disciples are as talented as Kong Xiang. Some have just entered the Refining Flesh stage and most of them were "old men" from the Jiuling Sect who didn't necessarily have high innate talent.

  And people like Kong Xiang are the true geniuses found by the sect, not limited to the selection of disciples every five years, so they also look down on those who enter through the selection.

  There are 242 outer disciples, but only the top ten strongest have rankings, known as the Top Ten Strongest Outer Disciples, occupying one-third of the entire outer sect's cultivation resources!

  These ten people can eat the meat of the demon beast and the Gathering Yuan Pill every day, and are the key objects cultivated by the sect. All the strong men in the Nine Spirits Sect's Gathering Spirit Realm were once one of the top ten strongest in the outer sect!

  Of course, being able to become one of the top ten strongest in the outer gate doesn't necessarily mean that you can break through to the Jie Dan stage. The ratio is less than one in ten, and even several consecutive sessions may not produce a single one!

  Zhou Heng was still most concerned about Zhou Dinghai's situation, but Feng Tengyuan didn't know where he had gone. Restricted by his identity, he couldn't ask around everywhere and could only wait patiently. Three days later, Feng Tengyuan finally appeared and took Zhou Heng to a small villa on the mountain waist.

  "Feng Qian... Brother Feng, how's my father?" Zhou Heng couldn't help but ask excitedly.

  "It was a bit tricky at first, but the young lady happened to be out and about, and upon learning of this matter, she specially asked an elder to take action. Now, Respected Father's injuries are no longer a concern, and he will recover in just a few days! Feng Tengyuan smiled slightly, feeling even more that he had made a good move - the young lady indeed had a special regard for Zhou Heng."

  After arriving at the other courtyard, Zhou Heng immediately rushed into the bedroom and saw Zhou Dinghai sitting upright. He saw that his father's spirit was still not fully recovered, but it had improved by several times compared to before.

  "Dad, you're really okay?" he asked in a trembling voice.

  "Alright, haha, alright!" Zhou Dinghai laughed loudly and patted Zhou Heng's shoulder firmly.

  Zhou Heng finally put his mind at ease and started chatting with Zhou Dinghai.

  Feng Tengyuan also knew when to leave and didn't stay behind to disturb the two of them. He quietly retreated and went out.

  When he learned that Zhou Heng had entered the Jiuling Sect, Zhou Dinghai did not show much excitement, but only repeatedly reminded him that he must not be complacent and must advance to the Jiling realm as soon as possible.

  In his eyebrows, Zhou Heng saw a frown and anger that could not be wiped away.
