Chapter 711: Thunderous Slaying of Zhou Heng

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected Zhou Heng's gaze, but it never looked at him.

To him, the moment Zhou Heng signed the life‑death contract, he was no different from a dead man.

He is now thinking about which abilities he can train later.

Elder Yao Tian's Divine Sense is also watching Ye Liuyun.

After noticing Ye Liuyun's unchanged expression, he gradually calmed down.

"Could this kid really have that strength?" he once doubted for a moment.

But he immediately dismissed the thought. "Impossible! His realm is lower than Zhou Heng's, and he's a Martial Cultivator from a remote Xiao dao, how could he compare to Zhou Heng? He must have never met a true master before and is overly arrogant!"

He also doesn't think Ye Liuyun, having arrived only a few days ago, could have changed at all.

Zhou Heng is a top talent of the Lingxiao Sect. Though his strength falls short of the top three on the Tianjiao ranking, he is still recognized as a strong disciple among the others.

His position on the Tianjiao ranking was earned solely by his own strength, giving him some prideful capital.

Therefore, even if he is somewhat arrogant, no one minds.

Soon, the number of Martial Cultivators fighting on the arena dwindled.

And everyone is looking forward to a match between newcomer Ye Liuyun and fourth‑ranked Tianjiao Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng had actually wanted to step onto the stage for a long time. He just didn't appear anxious because Ye Liuyun hadn't moved.

Seeing Ye Liuyun still unmoving at this moment, he could no longer hold back.

"Kid, still not stepping up? Did you think our duel could be dragged on?" Zhou Heng called out, challenging Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled and moved. While walking, he said, "This is a life‑or‑death battle, not a friendly duel! I'm not interested in playing with you!"

"Ha ha!" Zhou Heng let out a long laugh, his figure flashing as he leapt onto the arena. "Since you stress a life‑or‑death battle, I'll satisfy you!"

Ye Liuyun remained unhurried, stepping onto the arena step by step. The onlookers grew somewhat impatient.

Martial Cultivators of their realm would never walk onto the arena step by step.

But several Elders grew increasingly solemn.

They saw that Ye Liuyun's aura was restrained, with not a trace leaking out. Yet his whole being seemed to merge with Heavenly Earth, perfectly harmonious with it.

This clearly indicated Ye Liuyun was definitely a master. At least in demeanor and aura, he was far stronger than the boastful Zhou Heng.

Elder Yao Tian, seeing this, began to worry.

But the life‑death contract had already been signed, so it couldn't be revoked. Moreover, he still hoped Zhou Heng could outright slay Ye Liuyun.

"Hmph, dragging your feet—are you afraid to die?" Zhou Heng sneered dissatisfiedly at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun remained completely unmoved.

Only after stepping onto the arena, when the Steward judge announced the start, did his whole bloodline power suddenly erupt.

Ye Liuyun first let his bloodline power circulate rapidly within his body, then used Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to draw the ambient spiritual energy around Zhou Heng toward himself.

Around him, Heaven and Earth Power and spiritual energy began to condense swiftly.

Through various method improvements, Ye Liuyun's activation speed became far faster than before, reaching a level where intention follows the heart.

Zhou Heng originally intended to strike first, but didn't expect Ye Liuyun to activate so quickly.

As he advanced, he felt his bloodline power stall, his strength noticeably dropping.

Then the Heaven and Earth Power around him began to wane, as if all had been siphoned by Ye Liuyun.

If he launched an attack now, his power would be markedly weaker.

At the moment he hesitated, Ye Liuyun's Guardian God Seal solidified. Without giving Zhou Heng any time to think, the Guardian God Seal unleashed a Thunder Fire Overlord, the strongest move of the Overlord Divine Fist, slamming down on him.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil triggered a Spiritual Soul Attack, attempting to pull Zhou Heng's two Souls into his own Soul domain.

"No way!" Zhou Heng's Soul, while resisting Ye Liuyun's Soul tug, gathered power to activate his Guardian God Seal.

Because of Ye Liuyun's bloodline suppression and the reduced surrounding Heaven and Earth Power, his strength was considerably less than before.

And the attack on his Soul also slightly divided his attention.

This is why Zhou Heng feels confident; if anyone else were on the stage, they'd probably be a bit panicked.

Zhou Heng's usual cultivation is relatively balanced in all aspects, especially Soul cultivation. Both of his Souls are quite strong.

Thus Ye Liuyun's single strike failed, and he immediately changed tactics, pulling only Zhou Heng's primary battle Soul into his domain.

He then saw Zhou Heng's Guardian God Seal, which turned out to be a Mermaid holding a harpoon!

At this moment, the Guardian God Seal, wielding the harpoon, summoned a massive surge of seawater to block Ye Liuyun's Thunder Fire Overlord.

Ye Liuyun's figure flashed, becoming illusory.

He himself slipped into the void, instantly activating his Buddha‑Demon Golden Body, flashing behind Zhou Heng, letting his Mixed‑Origin War God unleash another Thunder Fire Overlord, striking Zhou Heng's Mermaid hard.

Zhou Heng's Guardian God Seal barely gathered enough power to block Ye Liuyun's frontal strike.

Then, noticing Ye Liuyun had moved behind him, he wasn't panicked. Though his spatial power was inferior to Ye Liuyun's, he could at least comprehend it.

When Ye Liuyun's silhouette turned illusory, he knew Ye Liuyun intended to attack with spatial power and was already mentally prepared.

Just as he let the Mermaid Guardian God Seal swing the harpoon backward, his Soul suddenly rebounded, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood with a "Puff".

At this moment, within Ye Liuyun's Soul domain, Zhou Heng's primary battle Soul had been burned a large hole by the Nether Ghost Fire launched from Ye Liuyun's Golden Armor Soul.

And at the instant his movement stalled, Ye Liuyun's punch had already thundered down.

The distance was already short, and with his strength suppressed, any hesitation gave Ye Liuyun enough room to act!

"Boom—" a deafening roar!

Zhou Heng's Mermaid Guardian God Seal was pierced with a hole, and the protected Zhou Heng was instantly shattered, his Physical Body disintegrating.

Zhou Heng flew several zhang away, his body still flashing Blood Thunder, a large wound in his back heart emitting smoldering smoke, with faint golden‑red flames flickering.

Realizing his Physical Body could no longer be defended, he used his last breath to release his Soul, charging straight into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness!

"What a pity!"

Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, helplessly halted, and withdrew the Guardian God Seal.

He originally still wanted to hit once more, but now there's no chance.

Ye Liuyun's Ten Thousand Gods Command in his Sea of Consciousness directly used Golden Light to immobilize Zhou Heng's Soul, absorbing his Divine Soul Power.

His main battle Soul, within Ye Liuyun's Soul domain, was also being gradually absorbed.

Zhou Heng's Physical Body, lacking the support of his Soul, under Ye Liuyun's bloodline suppression, instantly exploded!
