CHAPTER 1143: CHAPTER 1119: FLEEING IN DISARRAY (3/3)

Is this suicide?

How terrifying is the Demon Sea? It’s a place even Saints must avoid! In the depths of the Demon Sea, Saints do not dare to venture, for if surrounded by countless shadows, even they face the risk of perishing!

Yet Shi Yang immediately nodded in his heart. No matter where Zhou Heng and Hongyue fled, it was impossible to evade a Saint’s pursuit. Conversely, within this Demon Sea, there remained a sliver of hope!

Because Shadow Dead Spirits are too unique, only the Laws can harm them!

This characteristic dictates that even Saints may not be the best choice to deal with Dead Spirits; it all comes down to Laws comprehension. The further one progresses, the more effective they are against Dead Spirits.

Hongyue has taken a thousand steps in Laws comprehension, meaning within the Demon Sea, she will be more lethal than Shi Yang!

However, she is merely more lethal!

Saints are favored by Heaven and Earth, with terrifying defensive power. Even someone at the Chaos Realm with a thousand steps can only injure, not kill them. But how strong can defensive power be?

Killing quickly and killing many does not mean one can endure longer!

Shi Yang only hesitated slightly before deciding to take the risk and continue pursuing.

Firstly, he hated Zhou Heng too much, and secondly, possessing Hongyue had been his dream for a long time. The opportunity was right in front of him, so how could he miss it?

Whoosh, whoosh, three figures quickly entered the Demon Sea at an incredible speed.

Now this is truly playing big!

Old Azure Dragon thought for a moment; he had no intention of entering the Demon Sea! No one understood and knew the dangers of the Demon Sea better than he and the three other Divine Beasts, yet Zhou Heng had precisely the ability to suppress Dead Spirits!

Even Saints were going to have a hard time!

It’s best to contact Huo Tian quickly. Although Huo Tian had expelled Zhou Heng from the Taixu Sect, who can say for certain what goes on between a man and a woman?

There’s no harm in notifying; what if something really happened to Zhou Heng and Huo Tian blamed someone later?

Hongyue carried Zhou Heng swiftly, unleashing her full battle power along the way. Under the onslaught of the Blood Moon, even Black Cave Realm shadow dead spirits were no match, instantly slain by the thousand-step Laws!

This terrifying lethality allowed her speed to leave Shi Yang several ranks behind!

But a Saint is still a Saint. What does it matter if Laws’ lethality is insufficient? One can always rely on a powerful physique to charge forward!

Hongyue led, but could she shake off Shi Yang? Impossible!

In fact, Hongyue and Zhou Heng never thought of shaking off Shi Yang. Didn’t you see that Zhou Heng didn’t activate the Milky Way Ring? It was to drag Shi Yang as deep into the Demon Sea as possible, "joining forces" with the Dead Spirits to take down the New Saint!

——If they could take him down, great. If not, they’d make him afraid!

In the Demon Sea, Zhou Heng naturally stood on invincible ground! Saint? A Saint must also step aside!

"Hahaha, you can’t escape!" Shi Yang snorted. Focused entirely on pursuit, his clothing was already cut in several places by Dead Spirits, but he was still far from being truly harmed.

"If you’ve got the guts, keep chasing!" Zhou Heng laughed.

"A guy who only relies on women has no right to speak before this Saint!" Shi Yang said disdainfully.

"So what if I rely on women, one must have women to rely on!" Zhou Heng was undeterred, holding Hongyue’s slender waist tighter. "The two most beautiful and charming women in the world are mine, just watch with envy on the side!"

Shi Yang, hit where it hurt, flew into a rage!

Why! Why! Why!

Why would such stunning beauties fall into Zhou Heng’s arms? What was so great about this kid? In the world, there are only Five Saints, which means that no matter how strong Zhou Heng is, he can only reach the Chaos Realm. So why would Huo Tian and Hongyue fancy such a small figure?

He was furious, he was enraged!

He relentlessly wanted to smash Zhou Heng and then snatch Hongyue away!

Under such a fervent obsession, he pursued relentlessly. Unknowingly, two days had passed.

At such depth, not even Hongyue could proceed leisurely. A massive number of Black Cave-level shadow dead spirits appeared, and many others had reached thirty steps, storming in waves with terrifying lethality!

In contrast, Shi Yang fared much better. His lethality was not comparable to Hongyue, but his defensive ability far surpassed hers, allowing him to endure much longer than Hongyue.

"Give up!" Shi Yang shouted from afar, struggling to fight his way through. He saw that Hongyue was no longer able to advance—the shadow dead spirits were simply too many.

"Almost there!" Hongyue said.

Zhou Heng nodded, still holding Hongyue’s waist. He lowered his head and kissed Hongyue’s lips.

Finding joy in death?

Yet such an intimate act made Shi Yang burn with jealousy, as if his own wife was being unfaithful, wishing to slap Zhou Heng to death!

Buzz, at that moment, a halo surged from Zhou Heng’s body, releasing holy light, like snowflakes melting into a flame, turning the surrounding Dead Spirits to ashes in an instant!

How could this be!

Shi Yang was dumbfounded. During the Heavenly God Convention, although a Super Death Tide erupted, he was slapped away by Huo Tian long before and never witnessed the miracle Zhou Heng displayed at the time!

Now, he needed to pay the price for it!

Zhou Heng controlled the distance of the Heavenly Ring Light within one zhang, creating a Dead Spirit Forbidden Zone where no dead spirits dared to intrude!

All the dead spirits launched their attacks toward Shi Yang!

The pressure on Shi Yang multiplied!

Originally, there were two attack points for the dead spirits. Both Shi Yang and Hongyue were incomparably strong, enough to hold them at bay. But now, no dead spirit dared to step into that circle, making it simple—Shi Yang became the sole target of attack.

A Saint is very powerful, but this power is manifested in strength, while the Shadow Dead Spirits are least afraid of pure strength attacks, effectively reducing the Saint to the Chaos Realm!

Shi Yang took out a white Skull Head. Once activated, the aura of death rolled in, and wherever it passed, tens of thousands of dead spirits were instantly annihilated! But how many dead spirits are there in the Demon Sea? There’s an endless source providing them; kill one and two more appear. Go ahead and kill!

And Shi Yang himself also had wounds, being targeted by hundreds of thousands of Black Cave Realm dead spirits. How could he not be injured?

This isn’t a solution!

Shi Yang looked at Zhou Heng and immediately had an idea.

Whoosh, he forcefully broke through the encirclement and charged toward Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly, wrapped his arm around Hongyue, and his figure drifted as he continued to fall deeper into the Demon Sea.

The Milky Way Light paved the way, causing the Shadow Dead Spirits ahead to dodge too late. Those who couldn’t avoid it turned to ash in the light of the Milky Way Light, not affecting Zhou Heng’s forward speed at all.

But as for Shi Yang, he had countless Shadow Dead Spirits attacking him from all sides. Moreover, as time passed, more and stronger dead spirits would be attracted, making his progress increasingly difficult!

Impossible to catch up!

Shi Yang immediately concluded in his heart, and the deeper he went, the greater the danger he would face!

Retreat!

Although Shi Yang was angry in his heart, he had no choice but to accept this result helplessly. Not only could he not kill Zhou Heng, but he also had to retreat immediately, or else he’d be in danger!

He immediately turned and ran!

"Hey, Old Brother Shi, why run so urgently?" As he ran, Zhou Heng immediately gave chase, but kept a safe distance, since in real battle power, even Hongyue was no match for Shi Yang!

—Even the weakest Saint is still a Saint!

Shi Yang was furious, wanting to slap Zhou Heng to death with a backhand, but the distance was too far; it was simply impossible! Moreover, as soon as he stopped, he would be surrounded by countless Shadow Dead Spirits, making it even harder to escape.

This would only put himself in danger, and he certainly wouldn’t do that!

Keep running!

As long as he got out of the Demon Sea, he would be in control!

But getting out is difficult!

In the past two days, a large number of Shadow Dead Spirits had converged in the Demon Sea, all at the Black Cave level, posing a significant threat even to a Saint! Additionally, Hongyue was not idle and would occasionally strike a blow. The Thousand Step Laws operated, capable of posing a considerable threat even if unable to kill a Saint. More crucially, it could slow down Shi Yang’s progress!

This heavily injured Shi Yang, because Hongyue could recklessly attack, even if she "accidentally" harmed many Shadow Dead Spirits, it didn’t matter. Not a single dead spirit would rush into that light!

Shi Yang was equivalent to fighting the combined forces of all the dead spirits in the Demon Sea and Hongyue!

There was simply no chance of victory; if the Demon Sea were so easy to deal with, it wouldn’t require the four Divine Beasts to guard it for generations!

Shi Yang’s injuries increased; even though a Saint is known as undying and indestructible, it still depends on whether he courts death by venturing into places like the Demon Sea and the Source of Heaven and Earth.

Hongyue frowned and said, "It’s possible we can’t kill him!"

Zhou Heng nodded, because they hadn’t lured Shi Yang to the bottom of the Demon Sea, giving Shi Yang the opportunity to escape.

"However, even if he escapes, he’ll lose a layer of skin!" he laughed.

In this world, a Saint is a symbol of invincibility; only a Saint can fight a Saint! The fact that the two of them could force a Saint to flee, covered in wounds and disgraced, would undoubtedly make them immortal legends!

The wounds on Shi Yang grew more numerous, the injuries heavier, his hair disheveled, and holy blood spraying everywhere. Where was the dignity of a Saint?

But a Saint is still a Saint. Two days later, Shi Yang flew out from the Demon Sea without looking back or greeting anyone, leaving directly!

His injuries were too severe; he had to heal immediately, or else his foundation would be damaged, and he would never progress in Laws Comprehension!

Old Azure Dragon sensed it immediately, shook his head, having already expected this result. After all, in the Demon Sea, no one could be a match for Zhou Heng! But to witness a Saint fleeing so disgracefully was still shocking.

The Tai Xu lineage truly is Shi Yang’s nemesis!

First, Huo Tian slapped Shi Yang hard, then Zhou Heng and Hongyue combined forces to strike Shi Yang till he fled in a miserable state. It’s clearly a clash of destiny!

"Ancestral Dragon Lord, why did Shi Yang suddenly come to the Eternal Dragon Star?" Zhou Heng couldn’t help but ask when he saw Old Azure Dragon again.

"He made a request, demanding ten billion living beings from the Dragon Clan’s Immortal Residence each month!" Old Azure Dragon said.

Zhou Heng frowned. Why would he need so many living beings?

"He also said that the White Bone Sect and Golden Sun Sect now belong to the Heaven-Patching Sect. Those who don’t comply are enemies of the two great Saints!" (To be continued.
