Chapter 18: The Hunt
Zhou Heng unfolded the flying cloud step, the speed was as fast as lightning, and he was soon miles away.
He found a clean and hidden tree hole to hide, and continued to recover his true yuan power, and after most of the day, he opened his eyes again, and a cold light flashed, like a lightning bolt.
Not only did the cultivation recover, but Ying Yingran made quite a lot of progress, and he reached the peak of the sixth layer of refining the body!
You can impact the Bone Refining Realm!
Zhou Heng held back a belly of anger in his heart, Shi Gang and the four were ungrateful, not only did they not have a trace of gratitude, but they had greedy and murderous thoughts towards him, such a person would never deserve to live in the world again!
When you break through to the seventh layer of the refining body, the first thing you will do is kill the four ungrateful animals!
Zhou Hengning calmed his mind, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and suddenly entered the realm of no desire and no thoughts, but he just operated the true yuan power and began to impact the bone refining realm!
Refining the Skin Realm is the easiest, as long as you are not as stupid as a pig, then you will be able to enter within ten days and take the first step in the martial arts. And the Flesh Refining Realm is much more difficult to break through, and only half of the ten martial artists can break through at most.
And the Bone Refining Realm is a real watershed, enough to sift out ninety percent of the martial artists!
The Zhou family has a total of three hundred and twenty-seven people from the Flesh Refining Realm, but only seventy-four people have reached the Bone Refining Realm, and even fewer have reached the Blood Refining Realm, only six!
It can be seen that the further you go on the road of martial arts, the more difficult it becomes!
From this point, we can also see how important understanding is, and the higher the realm, the more prominent the importance of this understanding.
Zhou Heng was not in a hurry or impatient, his body was integrated with heaven and earth, his heart was connected to nature, Ling Tian's nine-style catalogue was flipped in his mind, and nine black broken swords danced in a brilliant galaxy, as if he could suppress the eternal thousands of mulberries.
He began to attack the barrier of the Bone Refining Realm.
The twelve layers of refining the body are to store the true yuan power into the skin, flesh, bones, and blood one by one, and light up the entire human body. After reaching the peak of meat refining, the muscle layer is extremely dense, and it is extremely difficult to break through this barrier.
Ling Tian Jiu Style continued to flutter and whirl in his body, and the True Yuan Force turned into black swords one after another, launching a fierce impact towards the muscle layer, roaring like a volley of ten thousand arrows, and the muscles in his left hand were the first to be pierced by the True Yuan Force, marching towards the bones.
Then the right hand, lower abdomen, left shoulder, right leg, spread throughout the body.
Rumble!
His body shook, his eyes suddenly opened, and a black sword deeper than the night appeared in his pupils, and then gradually faded.
Bone Refining Realm!
Zhou Heng looked up at the starry sky, at this time the bright moon had not yet risen to the head, and it only took three hours at most to break through the Bone Refining Realm.
It took his father Zhou Dinghai nearly a month back then!
Zhou Heng was not complacent, when he went out, he greatly increased his knowledge, in Yuanshi Town, his cultivation speed can be called a demon, but in the world outside, although it is still very amazing, there may not be no one who can surpass him.
He waited quietly for midnight to come.
Hum, the black broken sword in the dantian shook, and released a large amount of free energy on time, running through the blood in the body. Zhou Heng looked at his body inwardly and could immediately conclude that the amount released had increased again.
The Moon Shadow Heart Technique unfolded, and Zhou Heng absorbed these free energies one after another, the skin and flesh layers had been absorbed with True Yuan Force, and the bone layer had been opened, like a baby waiting to be fed, greedily absorbing True Yuan Force.
This process of absorption is the process of refining the physique.
Half an hour later, Zhou Heng stopped, and the free energy in his body had been completely absorbed. He roughly estimated that it would take about a month to reach the peak of the seventh layer of body refining!
Zhou Heng stood up, moved his limbs, and felt the amount of power in his body after breaking through the limit, it seemed that a high mountain could be smashed in front of him!
Bang, he threw a punch, and the big tree in front of him that was as thick as a bowl immediately fell, raising a cloud of dust.
"The peak of meat refining is about three thousand catties of strength, and now, although it hasn't been long since I broke through, my strength has reached four thousand catties!" Zhou Heng showed a satisfied smile, when he first broke through, it was the stage where the strength of the strength increased the fastest, and then it would gradually slow down until he encountered the barrier of the next realm, and he could not improve one step further.
Originally, it would take at least a month or even more to improve the power of this thousand catties, but whoever made the black sword is a treasure directly sent Zhou Heng a large amount of pure free energy, shortening the process to a mere forty minutes.
He took a nap against the trunk of the tree for a night, and set off immediately after dawn, and came to the place where he had met the four members of the Shi family before, only to see a large scorch mark on the ground.
It seems that after the four members of the Shi family took away the valuable things on the golden crown snake, they burned the remaining corpses with a fire, and made up their minds not to leave him anything.
Zhou Heng carefully checked the traces around him, and his figure jumped out and flew out in the direction of the southeast.
- The four of the Shi family can't go far!
Running all the way, Zhou Heng stopped from time to time to observe and make sure that he was not going in the wrong direction. After entering the Bone Refining Realm, his speed also increased greatly, and after about three hours, he came to a wet mud field, only to see four distinct footprints straight forward.
Unfolding the flying cloud step, he was as light as a feather, flying over the wetland, each step falling only left a shallow footprint on the ground, which was quickly restored by the elasticity of the wetland itself.
After another seven or eight hours, the sky was already dark, and tracking suddenly became difficult, and at this moment, Zhou Heng saw a faint flash of fire in the distance.
Got it!
After more than a dozen ups and downs, the fire in front of him became brighter and brighter, and he saw Shi Gang and the four of them sitting on the edge of a fire, roasting pieces of meat, and he could smell the smell of incense here.
That's golden-crowned snake meat!
Zhou Heng's heart suddenly surged with anger, although he had been despised by the clan in the Zhou family before, but he had really never seen the meanness and shamelessness and ingratitude of the four people of the Shi family, which made him murderous!
He jumped down from the tree, strode towards the fire, and shouted, "Four animals in human skins, borrow a fire!"
"What!" Shi Gang and the four of them jumped up one after another, looking at Zhou Heng incredulously, as if they had seen a ghost!
How dare this kid take the initiative to find it back?
And dare to scold them for livestock?
"Oh, to say that you are animals is really wronged by those four-legged people, you ...... Animals are not as good as animals!" Zhou Heng smiled faintly, but his face was filled with murderous aura, "You are just wasting food in vain when you live in the world!"
"Looking for death!" The four members of the Shi family all drank violently, and their weapons were unsheathed, pointing directly at Zhou Heng.
Shi Gang's eyes were cold, his mind was much deeper, since Zhou Heng dared to take the initiative to pursue him, he must have relied on it, no one was stupid enough to send him to death!
Could it be that the other party's big killing weapon that killed the golden-crowned snake can be used again?
Is it possible? It's only been a little over a day!
No, this kid's breath ...... Bone Refining Realm!
The other three members of the Shi family also noticed the obvious change in the aura on Zhou Heng's body, and they all showed great shock!
There is nothing unusual about the Bone Refining Realm, but Zhou Heng was obviously still refining the sixth layer of the body yesterday! You must know that the Dao of Lu Dao went from the sixth layer of the body refining to the seventh layer, this is a leap from the great realm, how could it be completed in one night!
What a freak this is!
There is no such demon in the world, this kid must have used some special method to hide his breath yesterday! Yes, this can also explain why he can kill the golden crown snake!
After "figuring it out", they were relieved.
"Who are you?" Shi Gang walked over to meet Zhou Heng, the green knife came out of its sheath, flashing with a cold light.
"The one who slaughtered chickens and killed dogs!" Zhou Heng said lightly, without pretending to be colorful.
"It's only a matter of tongue!" Shi Gang glanced at him, and the other three all dispersed one after another, outflanking Zhou Heng, and when the three of them were in place, he showed a hint of cruelty, "Kill!"
The four of them pounced at the same time, and the sharp blade in their hands slashed across the night sky, cutting Zhou Heng's head, neck, shoulders and chest.
Zhou Heng let out a long roar, Feiyun stepped out, and he was already approaching one person, and the long sword stabbed out, straight to the opponent's chest.
The man from the Shi family suddenly showed an extremely frightened expression, because the sword completely shook his defenses, as if the weapon in his hand was just an ornament, and it did not play a role in the slightest.
"Help-" He opened his mouth to call for help, but just spit out a word and then stopped abruptly, and his eyes were dark and he never opened again!
Zhou Heng drew his sword and returned, and a stream of blood suddenly spurted out of the opponent's chest. That person was only at the sixth level of body refining, he didn't need to use Ling Tianjiu's sword intent at all, he could see through the flaws between the opponent's moves at a glance, and one blow would be fatal!
"Little bastard!"
"Bold!"
Shi Gang and the three of them were angry and shocked, they didn't expect Zhou Heng's combat power to be so terrifying, although the sixth layer of body refining was indeed crushed in front of the martial artists of the Bone Refining Realm, but they would die with one move, this is too exaggerated!
"The wind is whirling!" Shi Gang was even more angry, and with a swing of his knife, a terrifying wind unleashed a terrifying wind, as if even the air was about to tear apart.
He is the genius of the Shi family, and Zhou Heng killing people in front of him is tantamount to slapping him in the face!
"Death—" He must kill this kid, or anyone in the family will follow him?
He can be called the two geniuses of the Shi family, and he naturally has something extraordinary, this knife is swung out, and the sky is full of sharp sword energy!
This guy is strong!
Zhou Heng's eyes tightened, but his mind entered the absolute Gujing Bubo in an instant, and a sword was swung out, which was the Waterfall Sword Technique.
Ding! Ding!
A series of sparks flashed, and Zhou Heng retreated five meters sharply, with a cautious look on his face.
Shi Gang's face was even more ugly, although he didn't retreat, but there was an extra wound on his left arm, which was scratched by Zhou Heng's sword, if he hadn't reacted in time, it would not have been as simple as a wound, but a hand would have been cut off!
Although this kid's strength is not as strong as his own, it can be seen how the ability to stitch and insert needles is so terrifying!
The Wind Remnant Cloud is one of the three most powerful moves in the Shi family's two peerless Fengyun Sword Techniques, but instead of cutting off Zhou Heng's head, this move made him suffer a little injury!
And...... He raised the knife in his hand, only to see that a small gap appeared on the blade!
