Chapter 156: Abduction of a Bride

  {）}

  The lanterns have just been lit, and the imperial capital has once again welcomed a night of feasting and revelry. The vast empire, with its thousands of years of rule, has long since rotted from within. If it weren't for the threat of enemy nations at their backs, the lives of the nobles and warriors would surely be even more decadent, while the poor would naturally become even more impoverished.

  Zhou Heng changed his appearance and quietly arrived at Xiao's house, squeezing in among the crowd.

  The Xiao family is a prominent aristocratic family in the imperial capital, second only to the Nan Gong royal family. This time, they are marrying off the infamous Xiao Huo Shui, and the groom is from one of the three major families of Lang Yue country, the Ying family. Everyone wants to give them some face and attend the wedding to show their support.

  Nan Gonghong personally attended, but the original three great noble consorts became two. Lan Fei's whereabouts are still unknown, and Nan Gonghong's head is also green with envy, not knowing how many people secretly ridiculed him.

  The wedding was very grand, the only thing that was not quite right was that earlier a beggar had shouted something about "blood and disaster", fortunately he was chased away by the family's servants early on, otherwise it would have been very awkward for the guests.

  Ying Feng welcomed the guests in the main hall, originally marrying a concubine didn't need such grandeur, his intention was just to provoke Zhou Heng to show up, let Mei Yixiang give up on him, and then wipe out this little beast's dog life!

  But after seeing Xiao Huoshui again, he was distracted and his mind wandered. Previously at the Tianbao Pavilion, because Mei Yixiang was present, he didn't dare to take a closer look at Xiao Huoshui, but this time, the more he looked, the more he felt that her reputation as "calamity water" was well-deserved, making him almost lose control and push her down onto the bed.

  Marrying such a beautiful and charming concubine is not a loss!

  What's annoying him is that Mei Yuexiang has been invited over by him, so why hasn't Zhou Heng shown up yet?

  His main purpose is still to make Mei Weixiang give up on Zhou Heng. If Zhou Heng doesn't come, he would have only married a concubine. Compared to power, beauty isn't that important anymore.

  With power, what kind of woman can't be gotten?

  Does that kid know he'll lose Mei Wei Xiang if he comes like this? No, that's not right. That kid is clearly a reckless guy who only thinks about one thing at a time. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare offend him, offend Yue Hu, or offend Liu Yue!

  Don't you know the news yet?

  Guests are like clouds, the auspicious time has arrived. The wedding ceremony officially began, Xiao Huishui was pushed out wearing a big red wedding dress, her face as white as jade, bright and beautiful, her eyes flowing with charm, making people involuntarily ignite a flame of desire from their abdomen, transforming into a beast.

  "The auspicious hour has arrived! The bride and groom pay their respects to heaven and earth!" the master of ceremonies shouted at the top of his lungs.

  Xiao Huo walked up to Ying Bingfeng with small, quick steps, her buttocks bulging left and right under the loose ceremonial robe, still visible in their plump and beautiful shape, making people's noses bleed.

  "Bowing to heaven and earth!"

  "Two bows to the high hall!"

  "Husband and wife bow together!"

  Xiao Huishui bowed down, saying in a very low voice: "Don't think that just because the family forced me to nod, everything will be fine. From now on, I'll find different men every day and make you wear a green hat!"

  The Xiang family's high-ranking officials used the death of her parents to coerce her, forcing her to nod and agree to marry down, but she was not a person who would be bullied, and naturally she would fight back in her own way.

  Ying Bing's face turned cold with anger, this woman actually dared to threaten him. What a big nerve she had!

  "Hmph, just wait until I get back to the Yu household. This woman will find out just how naive she is! His woman, even if she were lying naked on the street, no one would dare take a second glance!"

  Can a beautiful woman be more important than one's own life?

  "Hey, are you two married now?" A sudden and awkward voice rang out, causing everyone to stare.

  Everyone in sight automatically parted to either side, no one wanting to be mistaken for the speaker. Finally, these gazes came to rest on a young man.

  "It wasn't me!" The man's reaction was a beat too slow, and he denied it after a moment of stunned silence. However, he soon discovered that everyone's gaze was fixed on something above him. He hastily turned his head to look, only to see a tall, slender man standing behind him. It turned out that the man's height was just too short, and whether he moved or not made no difference.

  "Zhou Heng!" Many people recognized Zhou Heng and immediately exclaimed - at the same time, Zhou Heng also returned to his original appearance while speaking.

  Ying Bingfeng was overjoyed, he had been waiting for Zhou Heng, and was actually worried that he wouldn't show up to cause trouble. Otherwise, Mei Yixiang wouldn't have been invited in vain! He coldly sneered and said: "Zhou Heng, what do you mean by this?"

  "You fool! I have a habit of snatching brides, and this lady is as beautiful as a flower. I, the great king, like her very much, so I've decided to take her in as a concubine!" Zhou Heng revealed a smile.

  This guy is here to steal the bride!

  In an instant, the people standing next to Zhou Heng all retreated one after another, instantly creating a huge space. Who dared to get involved with him at this time? Only that short young man reacted slower than others and still stood there foolishly.

  Zhou Heng burst out laughing and patted the man's shoulder, saying: "Brother, you're indeed a man of your word!"

  That short man looked around, only to find that everyone had run away. He suddenly cried with a sad face: "I'm not loyal! I don't know him at all!" He pointed at Zhou Heng and hastily explained to the crowd.

  "What a big nerve!" Liu Qingxuan and Nangong Changkong suddenly appeared from somewhere, each with a face full of fierce killing intent. With the power of the Ying family, Xiao Yuzhen and Tian Junzi did not dare to continue protecting Zhou Heng, this kid is definitely going to die today!

  "My guts have always been big!" Zhou Heng's figure flashed, and the Swift Cloud Step unfolded. Everyone only felt a flash in front of their eyes, but saw that Xiao Huo had already fallen into his arms, being held to one side.

  It's really competitive!

  "Zhou Heng——" Ying Bingfeng shouted sternly, although he meant to force Zhou Heng to make a move, but he didn't plan for Zhou Heng to succeed! Now he and Xiao Shuoshui had both bowed to each other, they were truly husband and wife.

  Zhou Heng robbed him in front of his face, and instantly a greenish color appeared on his head.

  "In response to Ying Feng, I'm announcing that from now on, you're fired! Xiao Huo's voice was sweet as she hugged Zhou Heng's neck, this man actually dared to stand up against the powerful Ying family for her sake, it moved her to death!"

  If it weren't for the fact that there were too many irrelevant people around, she really wanted to pounce on Zhou Heng and let this man fiercely enter her body, only then could she release the passion that was about to explode inside her.

  First, he had his bride snatched away from him at the wedding. Then, to add insult to injury, she announced their divorce. This was a humiliation that would haunt Ying Feng for the rest of his life, one that not even the waters of three rivers could wash away!

  It shouldn't be like this!

  Ying Bingfeng's eyes turned crimson, and he let out a furious roar towards the sky. A sharp sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a burst of energy, he shot towards Zhou Heng: "You adulterous couple, go to hell!"

  He can't afford to lose this person. No matter how beautiful and charming Xiao Huishui is, it's useless! The only way for those who betray him is death!

  "You're so cruel to your own wife, you're even worse than a beast!" Zhou Heng shook his head, his face full of disdain.

  Everyone who heard it felt like vomiting blood, and no one would be much better than Ying Bingfeng if they were replaced!

  "Extinction Heavenly Sword!" Ying Bingfeng was furious, but his emotions were not the least bit disordered. He knew that Zhou Heng's movement skills were exceptional, so he went all out with his ultimate move from the start, determined not to repeat the mistakes of before.

  Mie Tian Jian can instantly emit nearly ten thousand sword lights, each with the killing power of a first-rank Heaven's Chosen. This is simply an instant kill for Zhōu Héng at the initial stage of his cultivation!

  Even if it's a warrior of the same level as you, there's only room for retreat and concession!

  Zhou Heng's left hand was still wrapped around Xiao Huo Shui's slender waist, while his right hand had transformed into a fist that shot out. Amidst the flashing golden light, his Metal Bloodline had been activated. He didn't need to use any martial techniques, for his Golden Fist was comparable to a top-grade martial technique.

  Boom!

  In the midst of a deafening roar, time seemed to stand still as everyone could clearly see where the Golden Holy Fist was headed. It shattered one sword beam after another before striking Ying Bingfeng's abdomen and sending him flying heavily into the air.

  A blood arrow flashed by, and Ying Feng heavily fell to the ground, with a line of mournful blood color hanging from the corner of his mouth.

  What? Ying Feng was actually knocked back and injured by Zhou Heng's one punch!

  Everyone had a dreamlike feeling, just a few days ago the two of them had crossed hands, Zhou Heng was barely able to resist Ying Bingfeng, but that was because his movements were too fast and too mysterious, making it impossible for Ying Bingfeng to land a hit, like an old tiger trying to catch a turtle!

  Now——Zhou Heng was actually defeated by Ying Feng, which means his strength is a bit higher!

  Split, boundary of the wall!

  Zhou Heng has entered the realm of splitting the earth, otherwise even a demon with an initial split would not be able to do this, crossing a major boundary and still crushing his opponent, this is simply inhuman!

  "Splitting Heaven and Earth!"

  "I'm going crazy, wasn't Zhou Heng just at the Gathering Spirit Realm when he participated in the Grand Primordial Assembly? How long has it been since then, and he's already reached the Severing Earth Realm?"

  "Compared with him, any genius would become a fool!"

  "How can there be such a perverted person!"

  Everyone was whispering among themselves, and Zhou Heng's rapid progress in his cultivation was also terrifying.

  "Earth-shattering realm!" Nan Gong Changkong and Liu Qingxuan's faces changed simultaneously. This kid was simply not human, if he continued to rise in power, who knows when he would reach the Sky-opening realm again, at that time it wouldn't be certain who would kill whom.

  Today, I must get rid of this kid!

  The two great Open Heaven Realm ancestors were both killing intent, they would never let a destined arch-nemesis demon grow freely.

  "Blood calamity! Blood calamity!" Just then, another abrupt voice sounded, hoarse.

  At this time, whoever speaks up will become the target of public criticism. Everyone immediately turns their eyes to look over, and as far as the eye can see, the people in front of Zhou Heng part like a tide, revealing the dwarf who was previously blocking his way.

  The dwarf suddenly burst into tears and shook his head vigorously, saying: "I didn't say that!"

  His reaction was always a beat slow, and by the time he turned around to look back, he saw an extremely lecherous old man standing behind him. When he looked over, the old man immediately showed his teeth in a smile, with at least seven or eight missing from both rows.

  Zhou Heng also saw it and was suddenly filled with black lines. The old man turned out to be the old cheat who had previously tried to sell him fake charms!

  "Alas, an ominous sign, a calamity of blood and light! You, you, you, you——" The old man pointed at the crowd one by one, his expression solemn and dignified, with the air of a superior being. But in the next moment, he revealed his true form, pulling out a large handful of talismans. "This Clear Mind Talisman is specially designed to cure calamities of blood and light. One sticker for only 50,000 spirit stones, buy one now!"

  At once, all I saw was him shamelessly soliciting business in the great hall.

  Everyone had a feeling of being unable to laugh or cry, it was still the turbulent situation before the great war, but after he stirred it up, it suddenly turned into a farce.

  How did such a despicable old man get in here?
