Chapter 230: A Blade of Heaven's Will (A 4,000-Character Chapter)

Xiangze felt a shock in his heart.

He said nothing more, turning directly to try and run into the spatial passage; this was clearly a trap!

But unfortunately, he saw that behind him, there was nothing.

The spatial passage had closed, disappeared?

Xiangze's face turned livid as he turned back to look at the Green Ox and Li Heng, speaking in a cold voice. "Green Ox, what are you trying to do? Are you teaming up with this human to kill me? Do you not understand the consequences of doing this?"

"And you, human, I remember you!"

"Back then, it was you who wiped out the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, destroying the rules with pure strength; my memory of it is still fresh. I didn't expect you to come knocking on my door again now—are you looking for death!"

He had never imagined a situation like this.

A stupid ox that had always guarded the Abyss Sea and had no interpersonal connections was actually teaming up with a human from the Present World to set a trap and ambush him?

What was this for?

And why would such a situation occur?

He could not understand it at all.

"Xiangze, you can only blame your bad luck for running into Master."

The Green Ox said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiangze's expression shook. Master? What was going on!

Could this human be the Green Ox's master?

"Green Ox, I only assume you have some hidden bitterness in your heart, forced to acknowledge this human as your master against your will. But it doesn't matter; I have a Secret Technique here that can temporarily shield the Contract between you."

"If you turn your back on him now, once I kill this human and return to the Yin World, I will absolutely help you resolve the Contract issue. Furthermore, I will absolutely not report this matter to the Hanging Mountain; we will just act as if this never happened, how about that?"

Various guesses flashed through Xiangze's mind, but he quickly guessed the general situation. Feeling this was the most likely scenario, he spoke while holding onto the hope of taking a gamble, treating a dead horse as if it were still alive.

This stupid ox had always guarded the Abyss Sea and had never been to the Present World.

Logically, it shouldn't know this human.

Unless this stupid ox had discovered that spatial passage long ago, followed it to the Present World, fallen into the hands of this human, and was forced to sign a master-servant Contract.

But why?

This stupid ox was naturally stupid, but it was also a powerhouse of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Yet this human was only at the Innate stage.

Li Heng smiled upon hearing this, remaining silent.

Meanwhile, waves were rising in the Green Ox's heart.

He had to admit, he was slightly moved.

If Xiangze really possessed a so-called Secret Technique to shield a master-servant Contract... but he knew this was impossible. Moreover, the Contract he had signed was extremely strict; how could it be something Xiangze could break?

This Xiangze was likely just trying to trick him into rebelling.

At this moment, the Green Ox also noticed that Li Heng showed no reaction, looking on with a half-smile, and he thought to himself that things were looking bad. No, it seemed he had to put in more effort; if he hesitated for even a moment, he would definitely be punished later!

He gritted his teeth and took a large step forward.

"Xiangze, you still want to sow discord? You are at death's door now. You are cunning and have nine heads, so I will chop off all nine of your heads!"

Holding his fierce giant axes in both hands, he swung toward Xiangze.

Xiangze cursed inwardly and hurriedly dodged.

What kind of madness had this stupid ox fallen into? Following this human so devotedly? Couldn't you go easy on me? Do you really want to hack me to death?

Li Heng still had not made a move.

He wanted to see how strong this Green Ox was.

Seeing Xiangze dodge several swings, the Green Ox's body grew with the wind, once again manifesting his true demon form. You dead snake, don't you like to dodge? Let's see how you dodge now!

He thought viciously, wanting all the more to hack Xiangze to death.

Only in this way could he show his loyalty and gain Li Heng's favor.

"You stupid ox!"

Xiangze's face looked ugly as he roared, also manifesting his true demon form. A nine-headed snake, several hundred meters tall and as large as a mountain, appeared on the plain, its body suffused with baleful aura and Demon Qi.

"Green Ox, don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"Can the bloodline of a common ox demon compare to mine?"

The nine heads flicked their tongues and hissed.

The Green Ox ignored him and continued to hack at Xiangze.

Under the reinforcement of his terrifying physique, every time he swung his axes, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles had to give way. If they couldn't get out of the way in time, they would be hacked to pieces, hacked apart!

What a mad ox!

Xiangze cursed in his heart, and all nine heads spat out emerald-green poisonous gas, which surged toward the Green Ox. This was the poison of his own bloodline, combined with his Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation; even Heaven and Earth Principles could be corroded, and he didn't believe this stupid ox wouldn't be afraid.

But clearly, he did not understand the Green Ox's fighting style.

One word: Reckless!

Never mind your poisonous gas or curses; just endure it and hack you to death first. Thus, he charged through the emerald-green poisonous mist directly in front of Xiangze and swung his great axe down.

Boom!

The ground split, and the earth shook.

The Green Ox did not hit Xiangze, who had dodged it.

"Hmph, you can dodge for a moment, but you can't dodge for a lifetime!"

The Green Ox looked at the shaken Xiangze and roared. His massive body was shrouded in the emerald poisonous mist; under the erosion of the poison, the flesh on his body was corroded and burst open every single moment, only to be regenerated by his flesh again and again.

This dead snake's poisonous gas was indeed powerful.

Since it could actually corrode his Vajra Indestructible Body.

However, compared to the flames of that human Great Demon King, it was still far inferior, the Green Ox thought with disdain, continuing to swing its giant axe to hack at Xiangze, not daring to pause for even a moment.

Its master was still watching from the side.

Xiangze felt his scalp tingle.

This ox was truly crazy; was it willing to endure the poison gas just to hack him to death? Was it necessary? Was it that eager to show loyalty? He dared not take the stupid ox's blow head-on; taking it head-on would absolutely result in being cut in half at the waist!

In fact, if the environment were different, he could easily toy with this stupid ox that only trained its muscles, using spatial secret arts, kiting it, and retreating while fighting; he could absolutely exhaust it to death.

But unfortunately, the space here was sealed.

No, he must find a way to break the situation!

Xiangze noticed Li Heng, who was watching the show on the side, once again.

The seal in the surroundings was absolutely related to this human.

He had to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, kill this human, and lift the surrounding spatial seal; that way, he would have enough space to let this stupid ox be exhausted to death.

If this stupid ox had signed that kind of Life and Death Contract with this human, then as long as he killed this human, this stupid ox would also die along with him; it was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Xiangze felt smug in his heart, thinking this method was feasible.

While dodging the Green Ox's swings, his figure inadvertently drifted slowly toward Li Heng. Finally, once he reached his attack range, he suddenly gathered strength in his body and broke through the air, like an arrow released from a string, charging toward Li Heng with lightning speed.

He intended to kill him in one strike!

The Green Ox was stunned at the sight; this dead snake was truly courting death.

Why provoke him? To die sooner?

Li Heng had a strange expression; who did he offend by watching the show?

Forget it, forget it; now that he had tested it, this stupid ox's strength was passable, barely enough to serve as his mount, and it was time to end this farce.

He wanted to see how much Source Power a Dharma Aspect Realm demon was worth.

Xiangze was extremely smug in his heart.

This ox was indeed still stupid; no wonder it was captured by humans.

Once he executed this human, he would definitely skin and de-bone this stupid ox to avenge the hatred of being almost hacked to death just now. He also did not believe Li Heng could dodge this strike.

A mere Innate Level, could he dodge a sneak attack from his Dharma Aspect Realm true self? What a joke. Not to mention that he had used a secret art for this sneak attack, exerted his full strength, and possessed the conviction of a sure kill!

If he could still dodge this, what kind of Nine-Headed Snake was he?

He might as well turn into snake soup!

However, in reality, Li Heng did not dodge.

He pointed a finger, the Earth Dharma Image shook, and the long-accumulated Dharma Aspect power in the surroundings erupted with a boom, suppressing Xiangze and preventing his sneak attack from advancing even an inch.

Back when he was still below the Innate Level, he had once utilized the Earth Dharma Image to erupt with massive Earth Vein Power, forcibly suppressing and killing an Innate Level demon, so he could do it now as well.

Although the Innate Level could not compare to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The difference between the two realms was more than just heaven and earth.

But Li Heng relied on the Earth Dharma Image, which had an extremely high essence, to erupt with the Earth Vein Power that had been laid out in the seal and had been accumulating and strengthening for a long time, completely capable of ignoring this slight difference in realms.

Not to mention that Xiangze was only evenly matched with the Green Ox.

He was only at the First Realm of the Dharma Aspect, not too strong.

With the Earth Vein Power laid out, this place was Li Heng's home field.

What did Xiangze have to fight him with?

How could this be!

Xiangze was shocked in his heart; wasn't this human only at the Innate Level? He was actually able to block his sneak attack; he had no time to think about what was going on, and mobilized the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles to attack Li Heng.

Li Heng's expression was calm, and his finger exerted a slight force.

The vast Earth Vein Power shook once more.

Instantly, the Heaven and Earth Principles realm mobilized by Xiangze shattered.

The Terror of the Earth Vein Power descended upon Xiangze; his body suffered a terrifying impact, appearing sunken, and he flew backward, crashing into the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

The dust soon dissipated, revealing the battered Xiangze.

"Hehe, I misjudged, truly."

"But I am a Dharma Aspect Realm great demon; even if I don't specialize in physique, there is still a large portion of Heaven and Earth Principles within my body protecting me; you cannot kill me!"

Even in such a wretched state, Xiangze remained arrogant.

The Green Ox showed a look of pity at the sight; what a little snake that doesn't know life from death, wait until this human Great Demon King burns you to death with flames, then you will know you were wrong!

Li Heng did not answer, but instead pondered slightly.

What method should he use to deal with this snake?

Using Sun True Fire seemed a bit too wasteful.

This snake did not cultivate its physique like the Green Ox, and its body was not very strong. If it were really ignited by the Sun True Fire, it would probably truly be reduced to ashes, and there wouldn't even be snake soup to eat.

This snake also seemed to be a smart snake.

Once it realized its body was ignited by the Sun True Fire and could not be extinguished, it would likely immediately have its Original Spirit escape, abandoning this body, preventing him from completing the sure kill.

After thinking about it, Li Heng decided to use a blade to hack it.

It just so happened that during this time, his comprehension of Heaven and Earth Principles had risen, and he had comprehended a blade technique Supernatural Ability from the Martial Sutra; he could use this to test how powerful this Supernatural Ability was.

He waved his hand, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi condensed.

It condensed into a large blade of Origin Qi.

"A blade of Origin Qi? You make me laugh; do you think Heaven and Earth Origin Qi can kill me? Did your elders not tell you that the only means to deal with the Dharma Aspect Realm are those at the level of Heaven and Earth Principles?"

Xiangze laughed loudly at the sight.

This human seemed very young; at this age, one is easily impulsive.

He said these words to provoke this human, making him use his strongest means, and then he would use a secret art to deflect this means toward the surrounding seal, breaking the seal with this human's own hand.

Then he could float away and escape!

However, this human only used methods involving Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, which actually made him somewhat disappointed, fearing that the power of this method was insufficient, and even with his guidance and amplification, it would be unable to break the surrounding seal.

Li Heng ignored this, the Earth Vein Power erupting to the extreme, bolstering his own body. The Taiyuan Scripture circulated within his body, his Qi and Blood surging, the Essence Qi Spirit Three Flowers vibrating, and the Great Sun Sacred Body manifestation slowly emerged.

He then swung one of the Martial Sutra Supernatural Abilities.

Heavenly Will Blade!

What is the Heavenly Will Blade?

Naturally, it is the judgment of the Heavens upon all things in Heaven and Earth; one blade brings life, one blade brings death, and no living creature or thing can escape it.

Now, Li Heng sentences Xiangze to death!

He himself is like the Heavens, slashing down with one blade.

Xiangze was captured by the Godly Intent, his mind suddenly dazed. He could not help but look up, only to feel an infinitely huge figure appearing in the sky, the divine might like a prison, lightly swinging a blade that fell down.

A flash of Enlightenment suddenly crossed his heart: he was dead.

Crack!

His soul and True Spirit were extinguished, the body of the nine-headed snake was chopped into dozens of segments, and those nine heads also fell to the ground one by one. The Dharma Aspect Realm great demon Xiangze had completely fallen, Source Power +10000.

Li Heng's expression was calm; it seemed the power of this blade was alright.

It belonged to the Dharma Aspect level.

However, because of this blade, the Earth Vein Power that had been accumulated for a long time was instantly exhausted, and the surrounding web of Earth Vein Power shattered directly.

The Green Ox froze at this moment, not speaking, not daring to move.

It seems this human... no! My master is so strong!

Fortunately, he had abandoned darkness for light!

Fortunately, the master hadn't swung this blade back then, otherwise he would have died too! The Green Ox shivered in his heart. He had always thought Li Heng was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be strong to this degree, killing Xiangze with one blade.

To be so crushing!

"Go and tidy up the essence of this snake, and cook some snake soup," Li Heng turned his head and said calmly to the Green Ox.

It was not that he was particularly gluttonous.

It was mainly because he, at the Second Heaven Realm, had killed a Dharma Aspect, crossing a major realm, which consumed an extreme amount. Not only was the surrounding accumulated Earth Vein Dharma Aspect power exhausted, but he was also a bit drained inside.

It was just right to use this snake soup to replenish himself.

Demons eat humans, so he could also eat demons.

"Yes, Master."

The Green Ox replied hurriedly; he was completely convinced.

After a while, above the plain, the space suddenly split into a thin crack, from which a person fell out, landing on the ground with a thud, falling face-first.

However, this person seemed to be fine, quickly climbing up from the ground, patting the dust off his body, and cursing.

"What is going on? Why have so many Void Turbulence appeared here in Beijun? Also, didn't those guys tell me this teleportation Array was very reliable? Why am I so unlucky!"

Qingxu was full of frustration.

Previously, he had been anxious to travel, directly borrowing the teleportation array on Dragon Tiger Mountain to teleport to Beijun. The manager of the teleportation array had even told him that this array was absolutely stable and would not have any accidents.

And the result?

Just as he was about to reach his destination, he encountered Void Turbulence, which caused him to fall out directly. Fortunately, he had a few tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Wait, where are my things?

Qingxu touched his body, looking around in a panic, only then discovering that his Space Ring had fallen not far in front of him. He hurriedly ran over to pick it up, sensing it slightly with his mind, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief; fortunately, nothing was lost.

By the way, where is this? It seems to be Beijun, right?

He looked around again.

He discovered that there was a giant snake in front of him, but it had already been cut into segments, and there was a campfire, with a pot set up on it, from which a very special aroma was wafting.

Wait, is this snake soup? He was stunned.

"Daoist Qingxu, we meet again."

"Would you like a bowl of snake soup?"

The person beside the campfire said with a light laugh.
