18: Gods in the world

"Just fly over there."

These words floated lightly from Li Heng's mouth.

The air at the entrance of the entire Peace Hotel solidified.

Zhang Tianwang's assistant and bodyguards looked at the young man with an extremely absurd expression.

Fly over?

From Magic City to South Province?

Do you think you're Superman or Iron Man?

The assistant stiffened his scalp, maintaining professional politeness.

"Mr. Li, you're really joking. From Magic City to South Province, the straight-line distance is over a thousand kilometers. Even if we use our connections to apply for the fastest route, it would still..."

"Your troubles are not my troubles."

Li Heng interrupted him, then turned his head to Zhang Tianwang.

"You, stand a little closer."

Zhang Tianwang's heart was pounding. Although he also felt this matter was outrageous, the image of the thunder Dragon kept replaying in his mind.

He chose to believe.

He walked step by step to Li Heng's side. The burly bodyguard, Abiao, subconsciously wanted to follow but was stopped by a gesture from Zhang Tianwang.

"You, book the fastest plane tickets and follow," Zhang Tianwang gave orders to his assistant and bodyguards.

"Boss!" Abiao grew anxious.

This was too dangerous!

How could he let the Boss play such a crazy game with a young man of unknown origin!

Li Heng was too lazy to waste any more words with them.

For those three hundred million, he decided to use more shocking methods.

He formed a hand seal with one hand and softly chanted.

"Rise!"

In an instant, a pale white electric light exploded from beneath his feet, instantly forming a complex array pattern that enveloped him and Zhang Tianwang.

Zzzzt —

The dazzling electric light flashed and disappeared.

The assistant's and bodyguards' eyes were stung by the bright light, and they instinctively closed their eyes.

When they reopened them, the entrance was already empty.

Li Heng and Zhang Tianwang had vanished into thin air right before their eyes.

Only a peculiar smell of ozone, after ionization, remained.

Abiao and the assistant stood rooted to the spot, mouths agape, minds blank... "Ah ah ah ah —!"

Ten thousand meters above the ground, the heart-wrenching screams of Zhang Tianwang, the richest man of South Province, echoed.

The strong winds scraped his face like knives, making it impossible for him to even open his eyes.

Below, city lights and continuous mountain ranges receded rapidly.

He had never imagined that in this life, he would experience the sensation of flying in such a way!

This was completely different from flying in a private jet!

This was true Physical Body flying!

"Shut up, you're too noisy."

Li Heng's impatient voice clearly reached his ears.

Only then did Zhang Tianwang realize that he was protected by a faint light shield around him, otherwise, the low temperature and lack of oxygen at this high altitude alone would have claimed his old life.

And that young man, treading on a bolt of lightning, was traversing through the clouds at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound.

This was... the Divine Ability of controlling lightning!

Only this thought remained in Zhang Tianwang's mind.

He had truly encountered an Immortal!

A living Immortal!

Fear, at this moment, was replaced by an unprecedented ecstasy and excitement.

He felt that his daughter was saved!

The journey, which would normally take three hours, was compressed to the extreme by Li Heng's full-speed flight, disregarding the consumption of Spiritual Power.

Only half an hour later.

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, silently landing on the lawn of a vast luxury estate in the suburbs of South Province.

The light dissipated, revealing Li Heng and the weak-legged Zhang Tianwang.

As soon as Zhang Tianwang's feet touched the ground, he could no longer stand and slumped onto the lawn, gasping for breath.

He leaned on a nearby stone stool, taking a long time to recover.

He looked up at the familiar villa in front of him, then at the calm young man beside him, and his awe reached its peak.

"Immortal Li... truly an Immortal among mortals!"

Zhang Tianwang's voice trembled.

He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed his assistant's number.

"Hello, Awen, where are you?"

The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Boss! Are you alright! We just arrived at the airport and are going through the procedures! Where are you now? Are you safe?"

Zhang Tianwang looked at his villa and slowly spoke.

"I'm home already."

"Ah?" The assistant was stunned, "Which home? The hotel in Magic City?"

"South Province, the villa at home."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, there was a dead silence for more than ten seconds.

"You... take your time flying, no need to rush."

Zhang Tianwang hung up the phone. He could imagine the expressions of his subordinates, how utterly distraught they must be now.

He stood up, tidied his wind-blown clothes, and bowed deeply to Li Heng once more.

"Immortal, please follow me!"

Zhang Tianwang led Li Heng and hurried into the villa.

The villa was brightly lit. Several family members and servants were startled to see Zhang Tianwang suddenly appear, but Zhang Tianwang had no time to explain and directly led Li Heng up to the second floor.

He pushed open a bedroom decorated like a princess's room.

Li Heng's first glance fell upon the girl lying in bed.

She was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a beautiful face and fair skin, but her entire being was enveloped by a faint, ethereal black Qi. Especially at her glabella, the black Qi was most concentrated, forming a strange mark.

This aura was dark, malicious, and filled with resentment.

"What unusual event happened before she fell into a coma?"

Li Heng did not rush to act but instead asked.

Zhang Tianwang pondered for a moment.

"More than two months ago, Qiqi was perfectly fine. If I had to say anything special... it was that she went to Xiangzhou to watch her idol's concert."

"Xiangzhou?"

Li Heng nodded, committing the place name to memory.

"Immortal!" Zhang Tianwang's voice was filled with tension and anticipation, "Can... can you save my daughter?"

Li Heng glanced at him.

"It's very simple."

With that, he walked to the bedside.

Everyone held their breath, wanting to see how this "Immortal" would display his Divine Ability.

However, Li Heng merely casually extended a finger towards the girl's glabella.

He flicked his finger.

A pure Spiritual Power, transformed into an almost invisible golden light, instantly shot into Zhang Qiqi's glabella.

The malicious curse that had been entrenched in her body was like an enemy encountering its nemesis. Without even a chance to struggle, it was directly washed away and utterly annihilated by that domineering Spiritual Power.

"Hmm?"

The moment the curse dissipated, Li Heng raised an eyebrow.

He felt that after his Spiritual Power circulated once within the girl's body, it didn't suffer the slightest loss. Instead, it seemed to have been purified, becoming even more condensed.

This girl's Physical Body had an incredibly high affinity for Spiritual Power!

"Ding! Heavenly Spiritual Root Physique detected. This is one of the top-tier root bones in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, one in ten thousand."

In his mind, the System's prompt surprised Li Heng.

Good heavens, he just casually saved someone and encountered such a top-tier talent?

Just then.

Zhang Qiqi's long eyelashes on the bed trembled slightly, then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Dad?"

The girl's voice was a little weak, with a hint of confusion.

This single word, "Dad," made everyone in the room turn to stone.

She woke up!

His daughter, who had been in a coma for more than two months and for whom all famous doctors, both Chinese and foreign, had been helpless, had just woken up with a flick of this young man's finger!

Zhang Tianwang's body trembled violently.

He looked at his daughter, then at Li Heng standing by the side, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

Thump!

The richest man of South Province, worth hundreds of billions, without hesitation, his knees buckled, and he was about to kneel before Li Heng!

This action stunned the family members nearby.

"No need for that."

Li Heng flipped his wrist, and a gentle force supported Zhang Tianwang, preventing him from kneeling no matter how hard he tried.

"Just make sure the money arrives."

At this moment, everyone in the villa looked at Li Heng with expressions no different from looking at an Immortal.

This was no longer medicine.

This was Immortal Arts!
