Chapter 230: Sword Pointed at the Capital

Chapter 230: Sword Pointed at the Capital

Huh!

The wind blew, rolling up pieces of yellow sand, breaking the silence in front of Huangshi City.

But no one dared to speak, let alone speak, and naturally no one dared to answer Zhou Heng's "question".

Because the bloody and sharp sword was still suspended in the air, holding the head of the previously shouting bandit on it, and the two eyeballs on the head protruded outward, as if they could fall out of the eye sockets at any time.

These eyes were mixed with fear, fear, and disbelief, which brought a huge shock to the bandits. Some of the less courageous ones even fell off their horses.

Everyone present, whether it was Jiang Yuying and other people from Huangshi City, or the bandits who came to attack the city with the intention of looting, looked at Zhou Heng in great shock.

Flying the sword in the air, picking the head from a distance!

Such means, such martial arts... Is this really martial arts?

Too incredible? !

"You, you, you, you, this is..." Jiang Yuying's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Zhou Heng in disbelief, her mouth slightly opened, her face full of horror, "Grandmaster? Are you really a grandmaster?"

Except for the Grandmaster of the Heaven and Earth Realm, she could no longer imagine what kind of warrior could have such a powerful and bizarre method.

As for the heroes Guo, Yang, Liu and others, they were even more stunned, and each of them stood there like a clay puppet, motionless.

The sword that Zhou Heng just slashed out completely exceeded their understanding of martial arts and martial arts.

It even gave them a feeling that they often had when they first learned martial arts-there are such powerful methods in the world, too amazing!

"Retreat!!"

The leading bandit shouted loudly, turned back first, and immediately called his accomplices to leave here.

At the same time, the bandits in front of him quickly retreated to protect his back, and other bandits separated to the sides to protect both sides of him.

Obviously, although these bandits are a mob, they are very skilled in protecting the safety of their leaders.

Unfortunately, this can only deal with ordinary pursuits.

Facing Zhou Heng's flying sword, such a "formation" is useless.

Clang! !

The sword rang and the silver light was everywhere.

This was far faster than any horse could run, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with the fleeing bandits.

The silver light was like a fish swimming in the water, extremely flexible and extremely fast, and instantly crossed the necks of twenty or thirty bandits behind.

Then it flashed from left to right for most of the circle, cutting off the necks of the bandits on the left, front, and right. Blood gushed out like a spring, and dozens of heads flew into the air like cut wheat.

Corpses fell from the horses one after another like dry grass blown by the wind. The horses were also frightened and ran around wildly, stepping on the headless bodies of these bandits into the dust and mud, crushing them to pieces.

In just this moment, only the five leaders were left of the bandits who came to attack Huangshi City with the intention of looting, and the rest were killed without a complete body.

Huangshi City and its surroundings fell into a dead silence again. The five bandits' heads turned pale and were terrified. They no longer had the arrogance they had before.

"Is it so difficult to ask you a question?" Zhou Heng made a helpless look, shook his head and chuckled: "Since you don't want to answer, then I have to get rid of these people."

"You, what do you want to do?!" The strongest leader of the bandits forced himself to be calm and asked Zhou Heng.

He was a great master at the peak of the Gangqi realm. He thought that even if Zhou Heng was a real grandmaster, it would not be easy to kill him with this powerful and bizarre sword-controlling technique.

This was not arrogance, but his judgment based on previous cognition.

Although the grandmaster was powerful, he was still a human being after all, and was not invincible. There were more than one record of the peak of Gangqi fighting the grandmaster of the world realm in history.

The powerful sword-controlling technique just now only killed those in the Inner Qi Realm, and did not attack the five of them. In his opinion, this should be a clear proof that Zhou Heng does not want to face so many Gangqi Realm masters head-on for the time being.

But just as he was thinking this, a silver light inlaid with a little blood suddenly flew over in the air, and the speed was far beyond the limit that the bandit leader could react to.

Puff!

Blood gushed out like a red streak, and the head of the leader was picked up by the sword and suspended in the air like the first bandit who was killed before.

"Did I ask you to speak?" Zhou Heng glanced at the headless body that fell from the horse's back, and then looked at the remaining four bandits.

The four bandits were immediately tense, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make a sound. Zhou Heng's current strength was really too strong, it was simply unbelievable.

Even though he was hundreds of feet away, he could fly the sword in the air and pick off a head from the air. The head he picked off was a head at the peak of the Gangqi Realm. Even a true grandmaster might not be able to achieve such means and strength.

He was simply the first-class immortal on earth. His strength and power were really so strong that it was beyond description. It was not like an ordinary ability, not like something that could exist in the human world.

"Who ordered you to frequently attack Huangshi City?" Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes slowly swept over the remaining four bandit leaders.

No one answered.

No one even spoke.

At this time, Guo Daxia, who was beside Zhou Heng on the city wall, spoke up and said, "Grandmaster, you are new here, so you may not know something. This is what happened.

"The bandits around Yellowstone City have actually lost their foothold in the Central Plains, so they come to this barren desert to make a living.

"These people are not engaged in production, but they always need things for food and clothing. Since they don't produce their own products, they can only come to rob me. Alas..."

At the end, the hero Guo couldn't help but sigh, with a sad and indignant look on his face, but he also expressed his point of view that the bandits' behavior of attacking the city and looting should be spontaneous and not directed by anyone.

In other words, Zhou Heng's inquiry just now was denied.

Yang Daxia and Wu Daxia on the side also nodded repeatedly and agreed with the situation proposed by Guo Daxia. This was their common feeling.

It is the experience and knowledge they have accumulated over the years.

Jiang Yuying couldn't help but frown. She had long been suspicious of the true purpose of these bandits.

Although these bandits nominally wanted to attack the city and plunder, in fact, they had only succeeded twice in so many years, and they failed repeatedly.

It was as if these bandits had identified Yellowstone City and completely ignored other relatively weak cities. This was obviously not a normal situation.

"Don't worry, I have my own solution." Zhou Heng stood on the Yellowstone City Wall with a smile on his face, his eyes falling on the second leader of the bandits, "Tell me."

"No comment." The second leader turned his head. The next moment, silver light flashed, blood spurted out from his neck, and another head was strung on the sword.

Hiss!

The people on the Yellowstone City Wall couldn't help but gasped, and looked at Zhou Heng with a bit of horror. This was really too decisive.

The second leader of the bandits just said one thing, but Zhou Heng didn't even continue to ask questions, and just took off the head of this master who was at the peak of the Gang Qi Realm.

This is the power of the Grand Master, and this is the method of the Grand Master?

But it shouldn't be.

According to common sense, even a great master of the Heaven and Earth Realm should not be able to crush and defeat two peak Gang Qi Realm masters so easily.

That's outrageous!

"Next, tell me who instigated you to continuously attack Huangshi City?" Zhou Heng looked at the three leaders of the bandits.

The three leaders were a fair-faced and beardless scholar, who seemed to be only about thirty years old. Seeing Zhou Heng's eyes looking over, his face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled.

"Grand, Grand Master, we really don't..." The three leaders were about to explain, but then there was another silver sword, blood spurted out, and a third head was strung on the long sword.

The third leader of the bandits also died suddenly on the spot.

Now, of the five leaders of the bandits, only the fourth and youngest are left.

These two people were also the weakest. Seeing that the heads of people who were much stronger than themselves were easily removed, they were completely in despair.

At this moment, Zhou Heng had an idea, and the long sword strung with the leader, second leader, and third leader of the bandits flew down from the air and stopped at the only two remaining bandit leaders, the only two remaining bandit leaders. In front of the robbers.

Three neck incisions were dripping with blood, three faces with completely distorted expressions, but still showing extremely frightened expressions, and three pairs of bloody dead eyes. This was the person they were most familiar with.

Immediately, the fourth and fifth leaders of the bandits knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted in unison: "Yes, it is King Zhao Wu Zhuo. He is the sixth brother of the current emperor. After being named 'King Zhao', he can still live in the capital." Oh, Wu Zhuo!”

As soon as they finished shouting, the two of them fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious, as if their minds had been hit so hard that they couldn't bear it.

From this point of view, exposing this "King Zhao" Wu Zhuo is really an extremely important thing for them. This person's situation is something they must try their best to hide.

Unfortunately, when facing extreme fear, no matter how important things are, they will become less important. Being able to continue to maintain one's life and survive is what is really important.

"King Zhao" Wu Zhuo? !

As soon as this name was uttered, the expressions of the people on the Huangshi City Wall changed drastically, especially Jiang Yuying, whose face was full of shock and disbelief.

"How could it be him?" Jiang Yuying was stunned and puzzled. She looked at the two people who fell into coma outside the city, wondering. This answer was completely beyond her expectation.

Firstly, he did not expect that these bandits would come to attack Huangshi City every once in a while, and they were actually being instigated by others. Secondly, he did not expect that the person instigating these bandits would actually be "King Zhao" Wu Zhuo.

"Is there anything wrong with this man?" Seeing Jiang Yuying and others looking strange, Zhou Heng asked, "Is this 'King Zhao' Wu Zhuo extraordinary?"

"Sir, you don't know. 'King Zhao' Wu Zhuonai is a great master of heaven and earth, and he is... the founder of Huangshi City." Jiang Yuying frowned, "I originally thought it would be... but how could it be Wu Mr. Zhuo?"

The rest of the people did not believe it. For them, Huangshi City built by King Zhao Wu Zhuo gave them a home where they could settle down and was their great benefactor.

Why would such a person secretly instruct bandits to attack Huangshi City repeatedly?

Are there any benefits to doing this? What reason does he have for doing this?

It doesn't make sense at all.

Therefore, Daxia Guo, Daxia Yang, Daxia Liu and others did not believe what the two bandits said before they fainted, thinking that they were talking nonsense and framed.

But Zhou Heng knew that the two bandit leaders did not lie. Under his spiritual supervision, if the two bandit leaders lied, they would never be able to hide it from him.

In other words, the culprit behind Huangshi City's constant attacks by bandits was indeed King Wu Zhuo of Zhao, the founder of Huangshi City.

"But what reason does he have for doing this?" Zhou Heng also felt a little confused, but he quickly thought of a possibility.

When Yellowstone City is attacked, the people in the city, whether they are ordinary people or warriors, will definitely have negative emotions such as panic, fear, and even despair.

And that's exactly what the evil thing needs.

Could it be that evil things also appeared in Yang Fan's square cave world?

Well, there are even things similar to ghosts, so the appearance of evil things doesn't seem to be a strange thing.

If this is the case, then it is basically certain——

This King of Zhao, Wu Zhuo, established Huangshi City in order to restore the state of this evil creature, or to help the evil creature increase its strength.

Zhou Heng could also see another problem from this incident.

The imperial court does not seem to be very weak.

Although he did not have strong control over the martial arts world, judging from Wu Zhuo's ability to build a city in this desert, the imperial court still had a lot of power at its disposal.

It does not seem impossible for such a court to hold a treasure that is loved by the world's destiny.

Maybe we can focus on the court first.

Start investigating from the Zhenguo Jade Seal first?

"However, you'd better have a valid reason for going to the capital. Otherwise, if a great master like me who 'popped out of thin air' went to the capital rashly, I would definitely be as conspicuous as a light in the night."

Zhou Heng's heart moved slightly. He looked at Jiang Yuying beside him and chuckled: "You suspected that I was not the Grand Master before, but now it should be confirmed."

"Everyone can see your majesty, sir." Jiang Yuying nodded and said sincerely: "If you are not a grand master, then no one in the world would dare to call you a grand master."

"Then would you like to go with me to find the 'King Zhao' Wu Zhuo and ask him clearly?" Zhou Heng said with a smile. This was the excuse he found to go to the capital.

"This..." Jiang Yuying hesitated slightly after hearing this, but finally nodded and said: "Well, I do have something to ask Mr. Wu Zhuo. Thank you sir for being willing to go to the capital with me."

"It's a trivial matter." Zhou Heng chuckled.

…

Ten days later.

Zhou Heng and Jiang Yuying came to the center of the world, the capital of the imperial court, the most prosperous place in the world.

As he had expected before, he did receive a lot of secret attention along the way, but it was not too serious.

After arriving in the capital, Zhou Hengming went to visit Prince Zhao's Mansion with Jiang Yuying on the surface, but secretly he sneaked into the imperial city.

I am going to bring the Zhenguo Jade Seal to find out.
