Covering the Sky: A Guide to Proving the Dao Without Cheats

Chapter 154 Reciting Pi Backwards

Just as Luo Heng was about to continue the conversation, he suddenly raised an eyebrow.

He turned around, reached out—and grabbed!

"boom--!"

A terrifying sonic boom exploded from his palm, creating a cloud of mist! As the mist dissipated into a light drizzle, everyone could see clearly that he was clutching a person in his hand—

Golden-Winged Roc King.

At this moment, the demon prodigy was in a terrible state, his body covered with horrific wounds, one of his arms was broken and hanging limply, and he was unconscious.

Luo Heng didn't even glance at him, casually tossing him aside.

He glanced disapprovingly at Ye Fan, who was flying back from a distance.

That kid is definitely doing it on purpose.

While Ye Fan was engaged in a fierce battle with the Golden-Winged Roc King, he caught a glimpse of Luo Heng and Yan Ruyu standing side by side below, and he immediately felt resentful.

So while I was fighting tooth and nail over there, you were here flirting with some pretty girl? That's going too far!

So his final blow was deliberately aimed at Luo Heng's face.

It's a pity it didn't hit.

Their eyes met in mid-air, instantly understanding each other's thoughts, and simultaneously cursing inwardly:

asshole!

At this moment, the group of young demons also flew back. Several of them stepped forward to help the Golden-Winged Roc King up and escorted him back to the small world.

The Azure Dragon King's face was ashen, filled with resentment. But the words had already been spoken, and in front of so many people, he couldn't bring himself to go back on his word.

With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved the remains of the ancient holy body.

Luo Heng smiled as he accepted the remains, quickly put them away, and then respectfully presented the longevity-extending artifacts, thus completing the transaction.

Not long after, a flash of light appeared at the entrance to the small world, and a burly figure strode out.

It was Pang Bo.

As soon as he came out, he shouted at Ye Fan, "I knew it, Ye Zi—"

He hesitated for a moment, clearly only then realizing there was someone else standing next to Ye Fan, and quickly added the second half of his sentence:

"—, and Lao Luo! They'll definitely come to save me!"

Ye Fan's smile froze slightly, and he glanced at Luo Heng without making a sound.

Luo Heng's face showed no sign of anything amiss, only the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his smile deepened.

On the way the four left the demon clan, Pang Bo, that big mouth, never stopped talking.

He spoke animatedly about his experiences among the demons, mentioning the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor that the old demon had passed down to him, and those demon secret techniques he had never even heard of before. He practically had "I've struck it rich" written all over his face.

Ye Fan occasionally chimed in with a few words, while Luo Heng remained all smiles, his expression unreadable. As for Elder Liu Yuan, he kept a straight face from beginning to end, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

As Pang Bo spoke, he suddenly turned his attention to Luo Heng. He looked Luo Heng up and down and exclaimed in admiration, "Old Luo, it's been years since I last saw you, you've really changed a lot. Back on Mars, when we were being chased by those three-inch nails, it was me who protected you with the plaque of the Great Thunderclap Temple."

I remember when you saw someone die, you were so scared you almost cried — tsk tsk, who would have thought you would be like this now —”

Ye Fan's expression changed, and he jabbed Pang Bo in the waist with his elbow, forcefully interrupting him: "Hahaha, Pang Bo, let's not talk about this—"

"Hey, I'm quite interested in those Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor techniques you just mentioned. Tell me more about them!"

Pang Bo glanced at Ye Fan with a puzzled look, then turned to look at Luo Heng—the smile on that usually smiling face had frozen.

"No, Lao Luo, what's the big deal?" Pang Bo looked innocent. "Back then, we were all ordinary people. Isn't it normal to be scared?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Fan covered his mouth with his hand.

Pang Bo struggled for a moment, but before he could break free, he heard Elder Liu Yuan behind him suddenly speak: "Holy Son, I think I left something with the Azure Dragon King. I must hurry back to find it."

The moment he finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the horizon.

Pang Bo finally broke free from Ye Fan's grasp and looked at Luo Heng with a puzzled expression: "Old Luo, what did Elder Liu lose?"

"So eager?"

At this moment, Luo Heng's face had regained its smile, and it was even brighter than before.

He explained gently, "It must be his ear. Elder Liu may have left his ear with the Azure Dragon King. We need to hurry back and find it, otherwise he may not be able to hear in the future."

Pang Bo looked puzzled: "You can lose your ear?"

He scratched his head, seemingly finally realizing something was amiss, and stared at Luo Heng suspiciously: "You're not really angry, are you?"

So stingy?

Luo Heng smiled and shook his head: "How could that be? We're brothers who've gone through thick and thin together, how could I retaliate against you just because you spoke a few truths?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Bo turned to Ye Fan and proudly raised his chin, clearly meaning: See? I told you Lao Luo wasn't that petty.

Ye Fan could only awkwardly twitch the corners of his mouth and laugh awkwardly a few times.

Luo Heng smiled along with him.

However, after laughing, his expression turned serious, and his tone became earnest: "But Pang Bo, although we've rescued you, no one can guarantee that you're still the same person you were before. How about this, Ye Fan and I will each ask you a question to test you."

Pang Bo didn't see any problem with it and readily nodded in agreement.

Ye Fan, standing next to him, looked stiff and lowered his voice, saying, "Old Luo, we're all brothers—"

Luo Heng chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Yeah, we're brothers. Come on, you ask first."

Ye Fan glanced at him helplessly, then forced a smile and asked, "What's our code?"

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!" Pang Bo blurted out, then turned his gaze to Luo Heng.

Luo Heng smiled and nodded: "Pang Bo, of course I believe you. Here's a simple question for you—pi, you know it, right?"

Pang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "Of course I know that. Which number do you want me to memorize?"

"We're all brothers, so I won't make things difficult for you." Luo Heng's smile grew even gentler. "You just need to recite the three digits of pi backwards."

"That simple?" Pang Bo grinned, opening his mouth to recite—

Then he froze on the spot.

Ye Fan had already silently raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Seeing Pang Bo's frozen face, Luo Heng's smile instantly turned cold, and he shouted sharply, "You old monster, how dare you still occupy my brother's body! You even slandered me before, prepare to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small world suddenly bloomed on the fist that had been poised to strike, with seven ancient characters wrapped around it, emitting astonishing fluctuations!

A punch landed squarely on Pang Bo's face!

"Whoa—!"

Pang Bo screamed in agony as he was sent flying like a shooting star, tracing a straight path through the air! He crashed through layers of sound waves, creating visible ripples in the void wherever he passed!
