Chapter 36 Things Under the Moon
"court death!"
A sarcastic voice came from the shadows, and Zhou Heng's knife was not taken seriously at all.
A mere ninth-grade warrior's sword.
Too weak!
However, the moment Zhou Heng's sword came into contact with the "sword" thrust out of the shadow, the dark spikes rushing out of the shadow were actually pierced on the spot like tofu!
"You use the martial arts "Dugu Nine Swords: Broken Sword Style" [Level 8] to fight against the enemy and perfectly neutralize the enemy Feng You's attack. Your proficiency is +15."
Sure enough, it was Feng You who escaped earlier!
Zhou Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised the blade to the side at the same time!
Stab!
The sword power turns into a sword!
This section of pitch-black spikes was chopped off immediately.
"How can it be!?"
A voice full of disbelief came from the shadows, extremely shocked.
The ghost's perception ability is very strong and can accurately judge Zhou Heng's energy and blood level.
Entering the ninth level for the first time!
Only a little inner energy!
Normally, it would be impossible for a warrior in this situation to cause such harm to him.
what happened! ?
"Nothing is impossible!"
Zhou Heng said calmly, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed out twelve times in a row.
They all hit the shadow on the ground.
Agility +1!
The effect of such a basic attribute bonus is really terrifying.
It is simply impossible for a normal ninth-grade warrior to have such a speed of sword release.
It is not easy even for an eighth-grade warrior to do it.
But Zhou Heng did it easily like this, slashing out twelve swords in the blink of an eye, and creating a whole set of "Twelve Ways of Splitting Mountain Sword Techniques"!
boom!
Boom boom! !
Zhou Heng's blade carries extremely terrifying power. Every time the blade falls, it not only cuts out the sharp edge, but also has terrifying power like a strong man tearing open a mountain, which is heavy on the shadow!
This caused the originally smooth road to explode immediately. The ground within a radius of one foot seemed to have been plowed. The bricks and stones were broken, torn apart everywhere, covered with knife marks, and many places had been split into pieces. powder!
Powerful +2!
Such terrifying power, coupled with Zhou Heng's special attribute of +1 against Yin Spirits, immediately shook Feng You out of his shadow state.
This ghost that escaped from the shadow state gathered into a human form, exactly like Shopkeeper Qian.
Feng You is the shopkeeper Qian!
In other words, it is a ghost possessing shopkeeper Qian!
However, Feng You, who was knocked out of the shadow state, did not panic. Instead, the expression on his face became ecstatic. His eyes were fixed on Zhou Heng, and the saliva from his mouth was dripping.
"Hahaha! Zhiyang Divine Soul! You are actually the Zhiyang Divine Soul, no wonder you were able to use that strange secret technique to shatter my shadow before! Great, great!
"Boy! You are mine!"
It laughed wildly and pounced on Zhou Heng, its hands pointing like knives. It didn't know what kind of martial arts it performed, and an extremely cold aura suddenly erupted from its body.
Whoops!
The cold wind howled, and dark and cold flames ignited on Feng You's palms. His two fleshy palms were like two long black flame knives, slashing towards Zhou Heng!
Zheng!
Zhou Heng raised his knife to parry, only to feel pain from the tiger's mouth. The steel knife in his palm trembled violently and made a shrill scream. He felt that what he was parrying now was not a pair of fleshy palms, but two giant knives weighing several thousand kilograms!
If it weren't for the basic attribute of "Strength + 2", he even suspected that he might have been knocked away the moment he came into contact with these fleshy palms.
What a terrifying power!
If an ordinary ninth-grade warrior faced such an attack——
It would hurt if you brush it, and die if you touch it!
However, thanks to the special attack on Yin spirits, Feng You, who was parried by Zhou Heng's sword, did not feel comfortable.
The dark flames on its palm were extinguished the moment it came into contact with the blade. Although the terrifying force did hit the blade, it also caused ten of his fingers to be cut off.
However, such injuries are completely negligible for ghosts.
After Feng You realized that his attack failed, he immediately pulled away and distanced himself from Zhou Heng. With a slight shake of his hands, his fingers grew again.
At the same time, the ten fingers that had just been chopped off also turned into shadows, wandering on the ground to its feet, and merged into its shadow again.
"It's interesting." Feng You looked at Zhou Heng with a joking look on his face and said with a smile: "If a spoiler comes, I'll leave first! Zhou Heng, remember, you will be mine sooner or later, hahahaha!"
boom! !
Zhou Heng slashed through slices of sword light again, but it didn't work.
At this time, Feng You had turned into a shadow again, wandering to the dark side of the wall at an extremely fast speed, preparing to escape.
"Monsters leave!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from high in the sky, followed immediately by a huge fireball falling from the sky!
This bright light and scorching heat made Zhou Heng's expression change slightly, and he quickly jumped to a tall building not far away.
Boom!
Hearing an extremely huge roar, Zhou Heng felt the ground below shake violently.
After the ball of fire hit the ground, it instantly turned into a thick flaming snake and chased Feng You in the direction where he escaped.
This long flaming snake was running and flying, its red light illuminated the night, and Zhou Heng's eyes were filled with fire.
After a while, the flames dissipated, but there were still scorch marks burned by the fire on the road and on the walls on both sides.
Such a shocking scene left Zhou Heng dumbfounded and speechless.
This is also martial arts! ?
It’s just a magic trick! !
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw a figure floating in the air.
Flying in the sky!
Sixth level of martial arts!
The man in the sky also noticed Zhou Heng.
Then he landed.
It was actually the manager Wang who was beside Liu Changsheng before.
He is actually a sixth-grade master.
"Mr. Zhou, did you fight with that monster just now?" Manager Wang landed next to Zhou Heng, with anger remaining on his face, and said: "That monster is very weird. I just used my secret technique to lower the flames, but it didn't even burn it to death." he."
The sixth level of martial arts is usually the dividing line between the secrets that are inherited and the secrets that are not passed down from the outer sects of large sects and great aristocratic families, so it is called the "Secret Sixth Level".
And because starting from the sixth level of martial arts, it has the ability to control the power of nature and mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, just like the legendary magic of the immortal family, so it is often called a secret skill.
"The fire at Yuelai Inn just now was caused by Manager Wang's secret technique?" Zhou Heng frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I used my magic to pursue him outside the inn, and there were no casualties in the inn." Manager Wang noticed Zhou Heng's worry and explained.
"That's it." Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What's going on? Why did Manager Wang encounter that...that monster?"
Judging from Guanshi Wang's performance just now, he probably didn't know the existence of ghosts, so Zhou Heng used monsters to refer to ghosts.
"This monster is so bold that he dares to attack my young master." Manager Wang's face darkened and he said, "Although he looks like Qian Buduo, he is definitely not the original Qian Buduo. I have beaten him to death three times before. But every time he comes back from the dead, it’s so weird.”
"Master Liu was attacked by this monster? How is he now?" Zhou Heng was shocked when he heard this.
What does this ghost want to do?
Why did he even attack Liu Changsheng, just for revenge?
Or has another purpose?
"The young master has a protective talisman and is only slightly injured." Manager Wang said solemnly: "However, this monster's method is really weird. With his seventh-grade level, he can actually turn himself into a shadow and blind me. My perception made me completely unaware of his sneaking in.
"As far as I know, no sect's martial arts in the world has such an effect. Is it some unknown secret force?"
Because it is not human at all, and its strange abilities may not be martial arts... Zhou Heng is almost certain in his heart that Manager Wang does not know the existence of ghosts.
This made him a little surprised.
The sixth-grade masters of a top sect like the Five Elements Sect don't even know about the existence of ghosts.
This is probably not something only Zhou Tian Xunjie Division can do.
Unless this organization is already secretly controlling the world.
The senior leaders of the Five Elements Sect must also be cooperating.
Only comprehensive concealment from top to bottom can achieve this level of effect.
But why hide it to this extent?
If ghosts were known to the public, what would be the big harm?
"It's strange. There was a lot of noise when I used my secret technique just now. Why didn't anyone come out to check?" Manager Wang looked around and suddenly felt a little strange.
"It's indeed a bit strange." Zhou Heng also noticed this.
"I used my secret technique to block the perception of the people nearby." A calm voice came, and then a middle-aged man wearing a black official robe and a black gauze hat flew through the air.
It was Wu Zongshan, the master of Huangtong Mansion, who was also a sixth-grade master.
"I've met the Palace Master." Zhou Heng bowed his hands in salute.
"Wang Lang of the Five Elements Sect, I have met the master of the palace." Manager Wang also slightly raised his hand.
"I have arranged for Meng Xing to deal with the aftermath of what happened just now." Wu Zongshan nodded slightly and said, "You two don't need to worry."
"What should we do with the monster?" Wang Lang frowned and said, "You can't keep such an evil thing."
"I have invited an expert to kill the monster. Don't worry, Manager Wang." Wu Zongshan smiled and said: "You two don't have to worry about it jumping out and attacking again. Please go home first. If there is anything, I will send someone to you." Someone will inform you.”
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhou Heng nodded, then turned and left.
It seems that the palace master should have asked the Zhou Tian Xunjie Division for help. Since there are professionals here, there is no need for him to intervene.
I wonder if the person here this time is Cheng Jiangjian?
If it were her, she would just ask about Fu Zhuan and Zhiyang Soul.
Well, I still have to return the three thousand taels of silver to her.
It's really painful to think about it.
After Zhou Heng leaves.
Wang Lang asked Wu Zongshan: "The master invited by the Palace Master is from the Zhoutian Xunjie Division?"
"That's right." Palace Master Huang Tong didn't hide anything. He nodded and said with a smile, "It seems that Manager Wang is well-informed."
"I just heard about it." Wang Lang said with a smile: "The members of the Zhoutian Xunjie Division are codenamed after the ancient star gods. They all wear masks, act secretly, and have special methods.
“It is said that they are good at solving all kinds of evil things, and the monster just now fits the word ‘evil’.
“In addition, there is an order in my sect.
"If you have an affair with the Zhou Tianxun Realm Division, as long as its members are in need, we must be at their disposal.
“I was just confirming this with the Palace Master.
"I'll take my leave first. If you have any orders, please let the master of the palace inform you."
After saying this, the sixth-grade warrior jumped into the sky and disappeared into the vast night.
Wu Zongshan looked at Wang Lang's back as he left, his expression becoming serious.
The Five Elements Sect is the top sect in the world, and there is more than one celestial being in the sect!
He actually gave such an order to the masters in the sect.
This means that other sects of the same level may follow suit, which means that the authority of the Zhoutian Patrol Division has been further expanded.
It also means that -
the threat of ghosts and evil things may be greater than before!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in the direction where Zhou Heng left.
...
At the same time.
Zhou Heng was on his way home.
He originally planned to go see Yu He, but when he thought that the ghost might be attracted by himself, and he had confirmed that Yu He was safe, he temporarily canceled this plan.
The night was quiet and the streets were empty.
Zhou Heng was walking, and suddenly felt that the silver moonlight in the sky seemed to be covered by something, and then he saw a beautiful figure slowly floating down from the moonlight.
She wore a white mask with golden patterns on it, which looked like a rich family's face. She was still dressed in white and landed in front of Zhou Heng.
A soft and pleasant voice followed.
"Mr. Zhou, can I visit you again?"
