บท 94: The Might of Jiang Heng

"Ah, you two great talents of Dalu Sect, did I just hear you talking about running away?"

Another woman exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"This senior, aren't you insulting Jiang Heng?"

The three disciples of Tianjian Sect surrounded them, not in a hurry to attack, instead relishing the game like a cat playing with a mouse.

Especially one of those surrounded, who had once been arrogant and brought endless humiliation to Tianjian Sect, Jiang Heng.

While they, as true disciples, were not directly involved in the sect's humiliation, they were still shamed by association.

Now, they found great pleasure in seeing him in a state of panic and anxiety.

However, to their surprise, Jiang Heng, surrounded as he was, showed no sign of nervousness or anxiety but instead wore a calm and content expression.

"Could there be a trap?"

"Or perhaps the other young man is a top-tier expert?"

The three disciples of Tianjian Sect exchanged a glance, and after a quick eye signal, they simultaneously moved.

If they delayed, there might be trouble if things went awry.

Their blades and swords cut through the air, and sword energy shot out.

Senior Luo's expression changed drastically, and he was about to pull Jiang Heng behind him, but he found that Jiang Heng had disappeared from where he had touched before.

Without time to ponder why Jiang Heng had such terrifying speed, Senior Luo immediately drew his sword to meet one of the attackers.

And at this moment, Jiang Heng's figure had already appeared in front of one of them, and he swung his fist suddenly.

The person's pupils contracted suddenly, surprised by Jiang Heng's speed, but his reaction was fast as well. He changed the direction of his longsword in his hand and swung it at Jiang Heng.

"Boom!"

The person was sent flying like a cannonball, creating a turbulent wave of energy.

"Rumble!"

After knocking down several large trees in succession, the person huddled in front of a broken tree stump, unable to move for a moment.

This unexpected scene stunned everyone.

However, Jiang Heng's movements did not stop, and he swiftly pursued the fallen man. He appeared by the man's side, kicked him in the head like lightning.

Like a burst watermelon, red and white matter scattered.

"Run!"

No one participating in the competition was a fool.

Seeing Jiang Heng's terrifying performance, the two others knew they had no chance and decisively chose to escape.

After all, since the three of them had joined forces, they were well aware of each other's strengths.

Jiang Heng could kill one in an instant, which meant he could kill them all.

Staying meant a dead end.

Senior Luo swallowed hard, also shocked by Jiang Heng's strength. He saw the two trying to escape and immediately reacted, flying forward to entangle the young man with long hair.

At the tree stump, Jiang Heng kicked one person to death, and then he swiftly changed his movement technique to chase after the female disciple of Tianjian Sect. Like a black lightning bolt, he quickly raced through the woods.

In just a moment, he caught up with her.

"Die!"

The woman's expression changed drastically, but she remained composed despite her panic.

Suddenly, as she turned, she swung her longsword backward, attempting to kill Jiang Heng with this sudden attack.

What surprised her was that Jiang Heng seemed completely unprepared and punched her sword blade.

"My sword is not like those Core Disciples from back then; you actually thought you could block it with your bare hand?"

"You're simply seeking death!"

The woman's face turned ferocious, as if she could see the image of Jiang Heng's right arm being cut in half.

In the next instant, Jiang Heng's right fist collided with her sword blade.

An unmatched, tremendous force surged into the woman's body, and to her horror, she discovered that Jiang Heng's right fist was completely unharmed!

"How is that possible!"

The only thought that flashed through the woman's mind was interrupted by the intense pain that spread throughout her body, rendering her momentarily incapable of thought.

"Boom!"

She was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Jiang Heng immediately pursued her, and with another kick, ended her life. He then quickly returned to the original battlefield.

There, Senior Luo was still entangled with the opponent.

"Damn it!"

The long-haired young man, in the midst of the fierce battle, heard the loud noise and instantly realized what had happened between Jiang Heng and his junior sister.

In a rush, he glanced in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Heng returning with an emotionless face.

Clearly, his junior sister had met her end. And he would be next!

The young man suddenly released all his energy, forcing Senior Luo back with a full-powered strike, and then turned to flee desperately.

At the same time, he took out a distress signal from his bosom and without hesitation, crushed it.

A red light shot up into the sky and exploded.

He felt a slight relief, but his feet did not slow down, continuing to run at full speed.

Soon, he faintly saw a figure flying on a sword in the sky.

"He's here!"

The long-haired young man unconsciously revealed a hint of a smile, feeling fortunate about his narrow escape.

He instinctively looked back.

But that glance nearly scared his soul out of his body.

Jiang Heng was now less than a hundred meters away and was rapidly closing the distance.

"Hisss!"

The young man took a sharp breath.

The almost instantaneous deaths of his two peers, who were of similar strength, had completely shattered his will to fight. He had no intention of confronting Jiang Heng.

All he could think of was to "run".

He turned his head forward and continued to sprint, hoping to last until the rescue arrived.

But the next moment...

A large hand suddenly gripped his neck from behind.

An overwhelming force stopped him in his tracks.

What followed were two consecutive punches that landed on his head.

The first punch shattered his protective energy.

The second blew his head apart.

By the time he had collected the spoils of war, Senior Luo had already approached him.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you..."

Senior Luo, whose full name was Luo Wei, had also participated in the previous joint martial arts competition. At that time, he was only seven years older than Jiang Heng and was considered one of the weaker participants. He had survived mainly under the protection of his senior brothers.

So, as he grew older, facing the younger Jiang Heng, he thought of protecting him.

But the recent battle had left him utterly shocked.

This sixteen-year-old boy possessed a terrifying strength that far surpassed his own!

He would even dare to say that among all the true disciples in the competition, Jiang Heng's strength was definitely top-tier.

Especially that terrifying physical defense and a pair of indestructible fists, he was arguably the strongest in the Spirit Sea realm in history!
