Chapter 132: Trap (3/5)

  Under the moonlight, five figures flashed across the starry sky, incredibly fast.

  They stopped in front of a large mansion on the west side of the city, which was naturally Zhou Heng and his party.

  "I've bribed one of the Fang family's guards and found out that Liu Yue is being held in the cellar on the north side of the estate!" Luo Runtian said.

  Five figures rose again, flying into the manor. Although the manor was heavily guarded with sentries every three steps and watchtowers every five steps, they were only at the Refining Body level, so how could they detect someone at the Initial Division level?

  They walked in as if they were entering a deserted territory, and the five of them quickly arrived at the cellar, bursting in without hesitation, stunning several people before arriving deep within the cellar.

  Here was indeed a man confined, his whole body bound with iron chains as thick as a child's arm, his head hanging down, as if he had fainted.

  "Save him!" Han Tao hastily shouted, summoning his magical tool from his dantian and wrapping it with spiritual energy before slashing at the iron chains. Clang clang clang, sparks flew everywhere, the magical tool was already sharp and sturdy, and after being wrapped with spiritual energy, ordinary iron was no different from tofu.

  One by one, the iron chains fell, and the person tied up also fell to the ground. Luo Runtian hastily rushed out to support him and asked urgently: "Liu Shao, how are you?" The flattering attitude was evident in his words.

  The only son of the Heavenly Boundary is naturally worth fawning over!

  That person slowly lifted his head, vaguely visible as a rather handsome young man, with the aura of an initial stage cultivator, but it was very weak, as if his cultivation had been sealed. It made sense, otherwise how could others feel at ease locking him up here.

  "Go!" Han Tao said, immediately taking the lead.

  Luo Runtian put Liu Yue on his back, this was a great opportunity for him to show off, and he wouldn't let anyone else take it. For an early-stage Wu practitioner, the weight of one person was no different from a feather, so Luo Runtian couldn't wait to carry Liu Yue all the way back to Tianxing Sect!

  Zhou Heng furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of unease.

  He lagged behind and walked, thinking in his heart that something was wrong, and walked out of the underground cave. He suddenly realized that everything was too smooth! Not to mention the initial separation, even in the gathering spirit realm, people can be rescued easily!

  Suddenly, a wave of flames danced around, and countless torches lit up, surrounding the entire underground cave. Each torch was naturally held by someone. At a glance, there were at least several hundred people, including some who had just reached the initial stage of their cultivation.

  Han Tao and others' faces immediately turned ugly, this was clearly a trap!

  No wonder Liu Yue's whereabouts were so easy to find out, it turned out that they had been waiting with a net for them to fall into.

  At this time, Zhou Heng relaxed instead.

  The unknown danger is the most frightening, and now the other side has shown its bottom card. This bottom card, in Zhou Heng's view, can be shattered with one blow, and doesn't even need to be taken seriously! Han Tao and others will treat him as a formidable enemy because they have never seen him single-handedly fight against hundreds of initial boundary warriors and kill hundreds of initial boundary dark skin monsters within the Taiyi Sect.

  They only knew that Zhou Heng was almost invincible in the early stages of the boundary, but they absolutely did not believe that he could defeat nearly forty enemies at the early stages of the boundary.

  "Where are you from?" A man in his sixties stepped out of the crowd, with a majestic aura that seemed to shake the three peaks of the sky. In this small town that was not even a part of the Earth Shattering Realm, he could be considered a top-notch expert.

  It's come to this, and they can't deny it anymore. Han Tao clasped his fists together and said: "This young master Liu is a descendant of one of our sect's elder generation, I hope your side can show some mercy and let us take him back!"

  "Don't be sneaky, report your origin!" The old man shouted sternly.

  Han Tao and the others didn't dare to, if they really reported Liu Yue's origins, then this matter would blow up. A child of a strong Tiankong realm master is absolutely precious, when the time comes, the Tiangxing Sect will know how much price they have to pay to redeem Liu Yue back!

  "We'll make a break for it!" After exchanging glances, the four of them decided to go all out. Since Liu Yue had already been rescued, as long as they could fight their way out of the encirclement, the border of the Han Dynasty was not far away.

  Zhou Heng's heart was firm and unwavering, so he didn't care at all. His current combat strength could already crush everything in the early stages of the split, and it was difficult to find a defeat in this small city that couldn't even produce a single Earth-shattering Boundary cultivator, which made him feel somewhat disappointed and unenthusiastic.

  Luo Runtian carried Liu Yue on his back, and everyone began their breakout.

  The battle immediately rang out. The other forty or so initial boundary warriors surrounded them at the same time, surrounding Zhou Heng and his six people, making it difficult to fly! Of course, this was also because Zhou Heng had not taken it seriously, just randomly responding, otherwise he would have killed these people long ago.

  He always feels like something is still unfinished!

  The opponent is not very tight, probably because they are afraid that these five people will fight to the death, which can also drag two people down with them. Naturally, no one would be willing to do so. Therefore, their strategy is to consume, as long as they exhaust the strength of Zhou Heng and his four men, then they can kill or capture whoever they want.

  "Ah——" Just then, Luo Runtian suddenly let out a miserable cry and fell forward, while Liu Yue, who was on his back, jumped up and did a flip in mid-air before landing on the ground. His breathing became rapid, where was there any sign of weakness?

  It's a linked ring after all, and "Liu Yue" is actually fake. Choosing to launch a sneak attack at this time is absolutely a devastating blow! Han Tao and the other two were immediately stunned, they could also guess that they had rescued the wrong person. This mission not only failed to complete, but also lost one more person, what can be done now?

  Zhou Heng finally revealed a hint of a smile and said to the handsome young man: "Are you the eldest son of the Fang family?"

  The handsome young man disguised as Liu Yue was taken aback, then tidied up his disheveled hair and immediately transformed into a dashing young noble. He also smiled and said: "I am indeed Fang Heqing, how should I address you? It seems that you have already seen through several inconsistencies, can you enlighten me, where did I reveal my true identity?"

  He even asked Zhou Heng for advice.

  "Zhou Heng!" Zhou Heng said with a smile on his face, "I've heard before that Fang brother is wise and resourceful, a true strategist. Logically speaking, we shouldn't have been able to find the hostage so easily!"

  Fang He nodded slightly and said, "This is my oversight, but if I didn't make it easy to find, I'm afraid some fools wouldn't be able to find the place!" He swept his gaze over Han Tao and the others, a hint of mockery on his face.

  Han Tao's three people suddenly blushed, but Luo Runtian had already fainted and didn't need to suffer another blow.

  "Actually, I can guess a thing or two about your background!" Fang Heqing, who was only at the first level of the second realm, seemed to have an extremely high status. When he spoke, no one dared to interrupt him, nor did anyone make a move, they just surrounded Zhou Heng and his group.

  "The person you want to save has a spatial law instrument on him, and there are only two possibilities to get the spatial law instrument. First, good luck, pick it up; second, at least have the power of opening the sky behind!"

  Fang Heqing looked at Zhou Heng and the others again, saying: "Your appearance explains that it's the second possibility. That person's identity is very high, we can't help but save him!"

  "Now this involves the second question, if that person is a native of our country, then it would only take an order from the Tian Xuan realm to release him, and we wouldn't dare not let him go? But instead, you've sent someone to rescue him, which means, you are not people from the Qian Ling country!"

  "You call him Liu Shao, and a man with the surname Liu has opened up the Heavenly Boundary, it seems that there is one in the Tianxing Sect of Hansheng Country!"

  "Given the geographical location here, I reckon my inference should be about 80-90% accurate. The Liu Shaoyou you want to rescue is indeed Liu Qingxuan's only son, Liu Yue!"

  As he analyzed it layer by layer, Han Tao and the others' faces turned whiter and whiter. They didn't expect Fang Heqing to be so intelligent, able to deduce the entire incident just from a few subtle clues.

  Zhou Heng couldn't help but applaud and laugh loudly, saying: "Brother Fang is indeed as wise as the rumors say! I'm now even more suspicious, with your intelligence how could you not see through Liu Yue's true nature and do something that invites a wolf into your home!"

  Fang Heqing was taken aback for a moment, then also burst out laughing and said: "That's right, I've long discovered Liu Yue's impropriety. It was intentional to invite him here. As for the woman who was insulted by him, of course, she is not Fang's wife!"

  "Brother Zhou, I have a high opinion of you. Why not work under me? Fang will certainly not treat you unfairly!" Fang Heqing threw out an olive branch to Zhou Heng.

  Han Tao and his two companions immediately looked at Zhou Heng with tension. If Zhou Heng were to betray them, they would be completely finished.

  Zhou Heng thought for a moment, then said: "Brother Fang, you hand over Liu Yue, and we'll let bygones be bygones. How about that?" He also rather admired Fang's decision to do so.

  "Haha!" The Fang family burst out laughing.

  Isn't this laughable? A beast in a cage, a bird in a coop, actually daring to discuss terms, how can such a person be worthy of being recruited by Fang Dashi?

  It was unexpected that Zhou Heng would propose such an unrealistic condition, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment. In his opinion, Zhou Heng shouldn't be so stupid!

  "In that case, there's no other way!" Fang Heqing showed a hint of embarrassment, then his expression turned severe, and he shouted, "Take them down...regardless of life or death!"

  Zhou Heng sighed, his right hand shook, and the black broken sword in his hand was unsheathed. He said, "To be honest, I don't want to kill for a person like Liu Yue, but I also don't mind starting a massacre!"

  "How dare you!" A master of the initial stage of the boundary from the Fang family shouted, his body bursting out, throwing a punch at Zhou Heng. The force turned into a fierce tiger, extremely realistic, and roared towards Zhou Heng.

  A black sword flashed by, and blood flowers burst into the sky!

  Bang!

  The Fang family's first warrior was cut in two by a single sword, falling to the ground on both sides, with blood splattering everywhere.

  This must be an illusion!

  Everyone couldn't help but rub their eyes with their hands, revealing an incredulous expression.

  One move to kill a martial artist of the same boundary, this is too exaggerated! Even if a newly entered primary boundary martial artist encounters the peak of the primary three heavens, they wouldn't be so helpless, and could at least withstand a few moves. This is completely like a martial artist in the Earth Shattering Realm bullying one in the Primary Boundary Realm!

  The aura of a martial artist cannot be concealed once they make a move. Zhou Heng is clearly only at the first layer of the First Heaven!

  This combat power... is against the heavens!

  Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said: "Brother Fang, my proposal is still valid!"
