Chapter 204: How Can You Lose When a Dharma Decree Is Pointed at Your Face?

"Hmm? Ma Suxuan?"

That group of Small Second Heaven also arrived atop the Bell Tower and spotted Ma Suxuan and the others at a glance. "It seems you're quite quick, Xuan Dao."

Feng Tianyang held the Dharma Decree in his hands and let out a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Dao frowned.

"Feng Tianyang, are you even qualified to say such things? You were beaten by me before; do you want to get beaten again now?"

He unleashed his aura, which exploded outward and pressed toward Feng Tianyang.

"Ridiculous. You were beaten by this person like a stray dog; what can you do to me?" Feng Tianyang laughed loudly. The Dharma Decree in his hands rippled slightly, directly neutralizing Xuan Dao's aura as if a gentle breeze had blown by.

His Prefecture Governor's Mansion and the Jinhua Demon Suppression Division were originally of equal rank.

However, because the Jinhua City Demon Suppression Division had a Grand Division Chief like Xuan Dao, whose combat power dominated Jinhua City, their Prefecture Governor's Mansion was kept slightly beneath the Demon Suppression Division, which was incredibly stifling.

Whenever any major event occurred, the Demon Suppression Division always took the lead.

It made their Prefecture Governor's Mansion seem like a mere figurehead.

Now that he could persuade the old man who never stepped into the mortal world to take action, even if it were just a Dharma Decree, it allowed him to ignore Xuan Dao's heaven-shaking combat power and fear nothing from the Demon Suppression Division.

"Hmph, an incompetent person relying on external forces."

Seeing that his intimidation had no effect, Xuan Dao let out a cold snort.

However, he also grew grave in his heart.

The object in Feng Tianyang's hand contained a power of an extremely high essence; could it be a Dharma Aspect? No wonder Feng Tianyang had abandoned his former cautious demeanor and become so arrogant.

At this moment, Ma Xingkong's expression was ashen.

It's over, it's all over.

He sighed in his heart. With so many Small Second Heaven returning, they must be certain they could deal with this friend of his aunt's. Why wouldn't this person listen to advice? Wouldn't it be better to just run away?

"What are you trying to do?" Ma Suxuan frowned and spoke up.

"We aren't trying to do anything. Congratulations to Division Chief Ma for clearing your name and successfully getting out of prison. The following matters have nothing to do with you; you had better not interfere," Wang Huanian said with a forced smile.

At this time, Feng Tianyang couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xuan Dao.

External object or not, as long as it was useful!

He immediately turned his head to look at Li Heng.

"My family's old man said: endure for a moment and the winds will be calm, take a step back and the sea and sky will be vast. Now that Ma Suxuan is out of prison, you had best bow your head, admit your mistake, and offer an apology, just like the rest of us."

Feng Tianyang said loudly, directly seizing the initiative.

The old man had indeed told him to offer kind advice, but to him, this was kind advice. If it were anyone else, they would have already attacked when Li Heng spoke insolently earlier.

Besides, with a Dharma Decree pointed at his face, how could they lose?

A Dharma Aspect is a great power who can touch upon Heaven and Earth Principles and open up a Cave Heaven; they are beings who can truly traverse the blue void. Using this level of power to deal with a mere Small Second Heaven realm cultivator is simply using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.

"Is this the attitude of all of you?"

Li Heng smiled upon hearing this and looked at the group of Small Second Heaven.

These Small Second Heaven were mostly from noble families, with a few from independent factions, such as underground gangs or martial arts hall masters. There were even some who couldn't be called noble families but were still well-known clans of Small Second Heaven.

"Hehe, although your strength is great, your actions are too overbearing. We have no choice but to resist. Don't think that just because you defeated Xuan Dao, you can reign supreme and invincible in Jinhua City."

"Right now, we aren't asking for much. As long as you apologize to us and bow your head to admit your mistake, we can let this matter slide. However, you must leave behind the Jinhua Bell!"

With stronger martial support.

Wang Huanian and these noble family Small Second Heaven revealed their true colors.

Although they guessed that Li Heng might come from some great power and might even be a genius of that great power—otherwise he couldn't have so easily defeated Xuan Dao at such an age.

But with so many of their noble families united here.

They had absolutely no fear of that so-called great power!

"Hehe, it seems you don't intend to compromise?"

Seeing Li Heng's expression, Feng Tianyang spoke with a cold laugh, then pushed his hands forward without unfolding the Dharma Decree. But the rolled-up Dharma Decree shone with bursts of golden light, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles to distort.

This was clearly the power of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Under this distortion of Heaven and Earth Principles, the space rippled like water surface waves, and the surroundings became fragile. This was not space fragility caused by the impact of power, but a phenomenon formed by fundamentally altering the Principles and rules.

This is the Dharma Aspect, delving into the essence of Heaven and Earth.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow slightly.

This power was indeed stronger than the Dharma Aspect phantom he had seen in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, though he didn't know by how much.

"How do you feel now? I'll give you one more chance."

"Apologize to us, offer compensation, and hand over the Jinhua Bell."

Feng Tianyang spoke indifferently once more.

He wanted to suppress Li Heng quickly and then collect the benefits the noble family Small Second Heaven had promised him as soon as possible, but since his own old man had instructed him to advise him repeatedly, he would just go through the motions.

It would save him from being nagged after he returned.

At this moment, on Li Heng's side, apart from the master and servant Li Heng and Kong Que, everyone else had ugly expressions. They could also sense the powerful energy radiating from that Dharma Decree.

Xuan Dao was even more shocked in his heart, his doubts resolved.

No wonder that Dharma Aspect old man didn't want to see him.

It turned out he was afraid he would slap him to death.

Is the gap between a Dharma Aspect and a Small Second Heaven really that large?

For a moment, he even began to worry for Li Heng.

"Noisy."

Li Heng spoke calmly. The Jinhua Bell appeared on his palm and swayed slightly. Invisible sound waves rippled outward, actually contending with the golden light emitted by the Dharma Decree and re-suppressing the space.

The sound waves even bypassed the golden light of the Dharma Decree directly.

It was about to affect Feng Tianyang and the group of Innate Realm experts.

Feng Tianyang's expression changed abruptly; he felt a Great Terror about to descend. With a life-and-death crisis at hand, he could no longer spare the breath for harsh words. With a thought, he directly commanded the Dharma Decree to unfold.

The Dharma Decree floated in the air, flashing with light.

A character for "Retreat" appeared, shining brilliantly, and was inscribed into the Heaven and Earth Principles, exerting pressure on Li Heng to force him to retreat as quickly as possible and leave Jinhua City.

Because this pressure involved the Heaven and Earth Principles, it was all-encompassing. It felt to him just like when he was in the Yin World, where Heaven and Earth were rejecting him, and he had to leave immediately.

If he resisted stubbornly, it was highly likely he would be crushed to death.

Li Heng smiled slightly; it was only the Dharma Aspect Realm after all.

However, even if a Dharma Aspect could alter the Heaven and Earth Principles, it was not Heaven and Earth itself, so the pressure on him was not too great. Thus, with a thought, the magnificent Great Sun rose behind him.

The Great Sun Dharma Aspect suppressed the Void of Heaven and Earth, calming the Rule Principles.

That "Retreat" character seemed to sense that someone was actually resisting; it surged in size against the wind, expanding more than tenfold, and the pressure on Li Heng also increased more than tenfold, directly shattering the top of the Bell Tower.

The Innate Realm experts had been shocked just now to see Li Heng able to resist the Dharma Decree. They had thought Li Heng was truly capable of such heaven-defying feats. But seeing the Dharma Decree erupt with divine might once again, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

The power of the Dharma Decree had increased by a full ten times.

His combat power couldn't possibly have increased tenfold as well, could it?

Li Heng's expression remained completely calm. The Earth Dharma Image also manifested, with both Dharma Aspects hovering in the air, revealing the scene of the Haohan Dari illuminating the Boundless Earth. The Qi and Blood within his body surged, erupting with the power of the Great Sun Sacred Body. He circulated the Taiyuan Scripture, and the phantom shadows of the Three Flowers faintly manifested behind him.

Then, he threw a punch, connecting Heaven and Human!

With one punch, he erupted with full force, colliding with the Dharma Decree and that "Retreat" character. Instantly, it stirred up endless waves, rippling out from this center toward the surroundings of Jinhua City, whipping up gusts of wind.

"Crack!"

The sound of something shattering rang out.

Li Heng calmly withdrew his fist. The Dharma Decree exploded, and that "Retreat" character cracked, subsequently turning into fragments that filled the sky. As the wind blew, they scattered, gradually fading and disappearing.

The people present barely managed to resist the stirred-up waves.

When they came to their senses, they were completely dumbfounded.

The might of a Dharma Aspect was truly terrifying.

Yet it had been blasted apart by a single punch from Li Heng?

Without time to think further, the group of Innate Realm experts turned and ran, not daring to stay here any longer. Being able to blast apart a Dharma Decree with one punch also meant he could easily crush them to death.

"Want to run? What a joke."

Li Heng pressed his palm downward. The Earth Dharma Image manifested its power, suppressing the surrounding Void and directly forming a Void barrier on all sides, sealing off the path for the Innate Realm experts.

Then, he made a pinching motion with one hand.

The Innate Realm experts felt a terrifying crushing force approaching them, slowly contracting, intending to crush them to death. Their expressions changed instantly, and they hurriedly employed their protective measures.

Then, they only heard a succession of shattering sounds.

Their protective measures and light shields—

—shattered at the slightest touch in the face of this crushing force.

It was like an egg hitting a rock!

At this moment, Li Heng was like a god, slowly reaping lives. Ma Suxuan and the others were completely stunned. They knew Li Heng was strong, but they didn't know he was this strong; he didn't seem like an Innate Realm expert at all.

Kong Que, who was beside Li Heng, also had a look of infatuation on her face...

"Alright, alright, little friend, a small punishment and a warning are enough. It won't be easy to clean up if lives are lost. I am Feng Zhenghao; give me some face."

At this moment, a voice with a sighing tone rang out.

Immediately, a phantom image appeared quietly, blooming with light and shielding the group of Innate Realm experts, protecting them from the obstruction of the crushing force. It was precisely that old man of the Dharma Aspect, the legend of the former Prefecture Governor's Mansion.

"Each generation of the world produces its own talents."

"I never expected that such a heaven-sent genius would appear nowadays, capable of shaking the power of a Dharma Aspect while in the Innate Realm. I even have a strange feeling that you seem to carry a power that threatens my life."

Feng Zhenghao sighed, speaking with a hint of curiosity.

Li Heng's expression was calm; he knew what he was referring to.

Naturally, it referred to the Nuclear Fusion triggered by the properties of the physical Sun. He had already comprehended a certain degree of Heaven and Earth Principles and had a deeper understanding of the rules. Coupled with Nuclear Fusion, under that terrifying power of destruction, it was indeed possible to blow up a Dharma Aspect.

Of course, that was on the condition that he could hit the target. Or, if the yield was truly large enough, the Dharma Aspect would not be able to escape the core explosion radius.

These words stirred up monstrous waves in the hearts of the Innate Realm experts. It was one thing that this person could blast apart a Dharma Decree with one punch—after all, it wasn't a true Dharma Aspect attacking, so it was barely understandable.

But what was this about being able to threaten the life of a true Dharma Aspect?

Could such a person really exist?

Yet these words came from Feng Zhenghao, a great expert of the Dharma Aspect, and they didn't seem fake. A sense of regret suddenly rose in their hearts; they regretted provoking Li Heng.

"So, can I take it that you intend to protect them?"

Li Heng asked indifferently.
