Chapter 182 - 175: Forceful Murder (1/5)
(A new month has begun, let’s cast a monthly vote.)
Zhou Heng played a deadly game of hide and seek with the force of the Mao Family. He avoided those experts of the Open Heaven Realm and targeted the solitary warriors of the Land Cleaving Realm and Initial Separation Realm, killing each with a single, merciless stroke of his sword.
The situation had turned: it was no longer the Mao Family hunting him, but he who was hunting them!
In just five short days, more than thirty people had fallen to Zhou Heng’s hand, including as many as seven Land Cleaving Realm experts, making his name feared like that of the plague god himself, with everyone turning pale at the mention of him.
Yet, they didn’t even know Zhou Heng’s name, referring to him only as "the ambusher" or "that damned rat." Out of desperation, who among them, other than a few Open Heaven Realm experts, weren’t feeling uneasy?
These warriors weren’t the entirety of the forces ambushing the four major nations. The Mountains and Rivers Realm expert had long since returned with a large troop, and now this force was being led by four Open Heaven Realm experts.
Having suffered numerous losses at Zhou Heng’s hands, the four Open Heaven Realm experts ordered everyone not to split up. Two of them were in charge of holding base, while the other two split up to search for Zhou Heng’s whereabouts.
To be pushed to such a state by a Land Cleaving Realm warrior was a disgrace for them all, but when compared to one’s life, shame meant little. Everyone turned into turtles, tucking their heads in and staying within the camp.
They weren’t willing to leave, as the Spirit Core was still on Zhou Heng—he had already refined this treasure, but they didn’t know that. They always thought about taking the Spirit Core back. Even though they had Open Heaven Realm experts and Zhou Heng was merely at the Land Cleaving Realm, who could stomach letting such a treasure slip away?
It was at this moment that Zhou Heng decided to charge in head-on.
