Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 200
Jian Heng looked at the man who tied the woman up had left. Everyone stared at where Jian Heng was stepping. They guessed that Jian Heng wanted to go to approach the bound woman.
A few more steps Jian Heng would reach the bound woman. Yet someone came suddenly and pulled his hand from the side. Jian Heng was surprised, but he could immediately control the situation well.
"What do you want?" ask the man who tied the woman up. Apparently he had been watching Jian Heng's movements since then who was the new person there.
There was no fear on Jian Heng's face. He looked calm and still faced the man with his flat face. The man let go of his hand when he felt the heat from Jian Heng's body.
"I want to help this woman. It's so sorry for him. The wounds on his body were numerous and drew blood. He could die if he continued to be left like this," Jian Heng said frankly to the man.
"You better not interfere in my business. In this country, not to be left a dissident woman. You don't know our problem, so you better get out of the way and forget about it." The man spoke without any feelings of guilt at all.
Wush!
Jian Heng threw out an energy and made the woman break from her bond. However his injured body made him unable to stand properly.
When Jian Heng intended to help him, the man again blocked him. Patience disappeared. From his hand appeared a whip and prepared to fight Jian Heng.
"You forced me to fight against you. Don't blame me if you have to lose your life defending that woman!" The man looked extremely angry at Jian Heng and lashed the whip into the air.
All the lanterns on the road had lit up because the twilight had passed. Jian Heng did not take out any weapons and prepared to face the man empty-handed.
The citizens who saw the incident gathered, but did not dare to stand too close to Jian Heng and the man. While standing right in front of the woman, Jian Heng threw his drinking provisions for her.
The woman drank it because she was thirsty. His injured lips made it hard for him to speak despite just saying thanks to Jian Heng.
The man grew increasingly violent when he saw what Jian Heng had done. With an extremely fast movement, he swung his whip towards Jian Heng.
Jian Heng's right hand shook forward and made the air around him dense. The man's body was pushed backwards before the tip of his whip touched Jian Heng's body.
The man was a little aghast, but he did not want to retreat. He was still curious about the power possessed by Jian Heng. He felt that he had yet to bring out his entire ability and was confident that he could defeat Jian Heng.
Jian Heng's youthful face made the man think that his opponent was still at the cultivation level of the earth realm. Meanwhile, he was already in the middle star realm.
What he saw did not necessarily correspond to his true circumstances. He did not know if Jian Heng had been far above him. At his very young age he had surpassed cultivators who were older than him.
The man again swung his whip with even greater energy. But his hand movements felt very slow.
The air around him again solidified and made his movements as if locked. The man retreated slowly even though his legs did not move at all. Jian Heng's energy was pressing down on his body and making his body push backwards.
Jian Heng felt very lazy to fight and did not want to make a mess there. The goal is to save the helpless woman and treat her like a human.
In order to end the man's struggle, Jian Heng raised his legs slightly then stomped to the ground. The man's body was pushed firmly back and then fell down with a deep wound that he was unaware of.
The ground around Jian Heng trembled and made some people feel frightened. They felt a terrifying aura coming out from Jian Heng's body.
The man spat out fresh blood and held onto his chest which felt hot. Jian Heng had attacked him with an invisible Rice Suppressing Force. It would take at least three days to make that deep wound recover.
"Master. Please get me out of here!" said the woman pleading with Jian Heng by kneeling before her.
Jian Heng twisted his body and thought of the way he would do to deal with this matter. It was impossible for him to take this woman away with him. The journey he will go through is still a mystery and does not know what dangers lie ahead.
Not far from where Jian Heng was, stood a middle-aged woman who looked concerned for the tortured woman earlier. The woman looked frightened as Jian Heng walked over to her.
Jian Heng opened his palm then appeared a few pieces of gold coins. Arriving before the woman, Jian Heng gave the gold to her.
The middle-aged woman accepted the gold money hesitantly and nodded at what Jian Heng had ordered.
The middle-aged woman, apparently also wanted to go migrate from the country. Armed with a handful of gold money from Jian Heng, at least the two of them could survive for some time in another country before obtaining a livelihood.
That very night, the two women left the Northern Continent to go to the Eastern Continent which was closest and directly adjacent to where they currently live.
Jian Heng chose to stay at the edge of the village instead of renting an inn to rest for the night. She prefers the outdoors and wants to enjoy the vast natural scenery at night while she is outside.
The food he bought was cold. Jian Heng ate it alone. To warm his body, he made a fireplace out of the dry branches around him.
In order to recover his slightly reduced strength, Jian Heng was cultivating there. The energy essence in that place is not so great because of the natural damage that occurs due to land clearing for residential residents.
Jian Heng took a little longer to recover his energy.
'Xiao Yin, how many books have you got? I heard that the Northern Continent holds two Books of the Nine Dragons. Are you in this country too?' Jian Heng stared at the stars in the sky while imagining Fang Yin's face.
His eyes grew heavier and forced him to sleep that night. Tiredness led him to dreamland where he no longer remembered everything that happened in the real world.
Jian Heng's vigilance was unlike Fang Yin who had always cast a protective spell before he fell asleep. As well as tonight, Jian Heng did not use any protectors around him.
He was not aware of the bad things that surrounded him. Some people came to his resting place. They threw the sleeping powder into Jian Heng's fireplace and let him inhale it for a while.
Once at least Jian Heng would not wake up any time soon, they immediately picked him up and took him away from that place. Those people were the men from the man who fought alongside Jian Heng this afternoon.
They arrested Jian Heng to replace the punishment of the woman who had fled the village. In a state of unconsciousness, Jian Heng was tied to a pole where the woman he had released was tied up earlier.
As the sun began to rise Jian Heng only regained his senses from his sleep and felt his body being wrapped around by iron chains. Around him stood a few sturdy men who instantly acted alert when they saw Jian Heng awake.
Jian Heng tried to move his body but the iron chain bond was too strong. Jian Heng smiled when he realized that the iron chain wrapped around him was a rare iron that had been thousands of years old.
The coldness caused by iron comes from meteors that become a mixture. Jian Heng felt extremely lucky to find that rare iron here.
"You're aware of it." The man patted the whip he held on his left palm.
He felt that this time he was the one who would win. In a bound state, the man felt very confident that he could avenge him to defeat Jian Heng. His hands were already itching to whip Jian Heng's body until his entire skin was peeled off.
"It turns out besides being weak you are also a coward. You enjoy torturing people who are helpless." Jian Heng remained talking calmly.
There was no worry on his face. With a slight flow of Qi the iron chain would melt and he could use it as a shield to protect his body. Jian Heng possessed a power capable of melting iron and any kind of metal.
"Are you scared of me now? Too bad you can't escape that iron bond." The man smiled mockingly at Jian Heng and stepped confidently towards him.
The whip he had been holding, he was now open and held up high. Despite the serious internal injuries, the man looked impatient. He still let out Qi from within his dantian and did not think of the devastating impact he would experience after this.
"Stupid! You have committed suicide. The blood vessels in your heart have been damaged. At least it took you three days to make him recover." Jian Heng smiled mockingly at the man.
Not yet dry Jian Heng's lips after speaking. The man coughed and held his chest with his left hand. His right hand held the whip and did not stop the energy that had flowed there.
