Chapter 162: Chapter 157: Void Shattering Talisman (1/3)

"Little brother, buy a talisman, will you? I see darkness looming over your forehead, a sign of great misfortune!" the old swindler appeared in front of Zhou Heng, waving a few yellowish paper talismans in his face.

The paper looked like the kind common households would use for toilet paper, extremely low quality and very coarse.

Zhou Heng’s face turned even darker at the sight; this old swindler couldn’t possibly have sketched these during a bathroom break, could he? Just the thought of that sleazy image was utterly disgusting. He hastily took a step back to maintain a distance from the swindler.

"Miss, I have a secret recipe for breast enlargement, selling it to you for just one million spirit stones!" the old swindler then targeted Xiao Huoshui, who was in Zhou Heng’s arms.

"Old fellow, my figure is exploding with perfection, do I look like I need that?" Xiao Huoshui retorted fiercely as well.

"The bigger, the better! The bigger, the better!" The old swindler’s eyes gleamed, not looking at Xiao Huoshui, seemingly fantasizing about someone else, to the point where he even started drooling.

"Enough already!" Nangong Changkong bellowed, his gaze sharp as a knife and emitting a murderous chill.

That Zhou Heng and the sleazy old man dared to completely ignore his presence was utterly unforgivable! Open Heaven Realm, oh, this was a status revered to the skies in Cold Blue Country—who would dare disrespect him?

"Brother Nangong, strike quickly and take that kid down, to prevent any more troubles!" Liu Qingxuan immediately said, knowing that Zhou Heng’s movement technique was extremely fast, and he alone really had no certainty of capturing Zhou Heng. He must join forces with Nangong Changkong.

Two Open Heaven Realm experts set a trap, and there was absolutely no way for Zhou Heng to escape.

"Indeed!" Nangong Changkong agreed with a cold face, as he and Liu Qingxuan split to either side. The two Open Heaven Realm experts acted simultaneously, and beams of light materialized out of thin air, quickly connecting and merging to form a wall of light, turning into a massive cage.

This would consume a tremendous amount of spiritual power, but to erase Zhou Heng, it was completely worth it.

They must not give this kid any more room to grow!

"You two old geezers, not doing business with the old man is one thing, but to think of capturing and robbing me!" the old swindler shrieked, pulling out a handful of talismans from his chest and shoving some at Zhou Heng, saying, "Stinky kid, I see a bloody disaster looming over you. The old man and you are fated, I’ll save you once and credit you twenty Void Shattering Talismans. Remember to pay me back ten million spirit stones next time!"

"I should leave now; otherwise, there’s no escaping the bloody disaster!"

The old swindler didn’t seem to use any special stepping technique, but he instantly appeared at the edge of the light wall, stuck one of the talismans on himself, and whoosh, he actually charged right through as if the light wall didn’t exist.

Everybody, including Zhou Heng and Nangong Changkong, was stunned!

That’s a cage set by Open Heaven Realm experts; could one really pass through it so easily? Either the old man had been deliberately concealing his skill, possessing unfathomable cultivation, or his talisman really was effective, capable of penetrating barriers set by the Open Heaven Realm.

For a moment, everyone felt immense regret. If they had known the old man’s talisman was so useful, they would have bought a hundred or eighty of them! Now the old man had vanished without a trace, and they had wasted a tremendous opportunity!

Zhou Heng held the twenty Void Shattering Talismans given to him by the old swindler. As soon as the old man had taken them out, Zhou Heng had sensed an odd power within them; that’s why he had accepted them.

The old swindler was still the same old swindler; everything he sold before was fake, only these twenty Void Shattering Talismans were genuine.

A thought struck Zhou Heng; it seemed like the old swindler had intentionally come to provide him with the Void Shattering Talismans! Although they had met once before, they weren’t close, so why would the old swindler grant him such a big favor?

He couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to think about it further. If he ran into the old swindler again, he would simply ask for clarification.

After affixing a Void Shattering Talisman on himself, Zhou Heng activated Swift Cloud Radiant Step and charged toward Ying Bingfeng. He had initially planned to use the Nine Mystic Trial Tower to save people, but now that he had the Void Shattering Talismans, he should make good use of them.

Faint black light flickered around Zhou Heng; with a swoosh, his body directly passed through the light wall. Indeed, before the Void Shattering Talismans, even the barriers set by the Open Heaven Realm were as if they didn’t exist!

"Could that black donkey have penetrated Dayan Sect’s Mountain Protection Array before because it had something like the Void Shattering Talisman?" Zhou Heng suddenly thought; that black donkey was also shrouded in mystery.

"Ying Bingfeng, do you dare to fight again?" he laughed heartily, "I’ll give you the advantage of one hand this time!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but secretly wince.

Zhou Heng was indeed only able to use one hand because he had Xiao Huoshui in his left arm. Losing a hand didn’t mean he lost half his battle power, but it was certainly an impairment; logically, this should give Ying Bingfeng a great advantage.

But no one would want to take such advantage because the woman Zhou Heng held was Ying Bingfeng’s newly wed little concubine.

It was infuriating!

True to form, Ying Bingfeng turned blue with rage, his body shaking as he roared, "Zhou Heng, today I will kill you!" With that, he charged furiously at Zhou Heng, his mouth opening to spew a black liquid that reeked unbearably.

"That’s the bloodline power of the Ying Family, the Toad Spiritual Body. Even just one touch from the poison will kill you instantly, let alone the fact that even a whiff of its smell can knock someone unconscious!" Mei Yixiang said sweetly from the side, followed by the unfathomably powerful old man.

"It’s a Poison Water Spiritual Body!" Ying Bingfeng couldn’t help but argue a sentence, the bloodline power of his family couldn’t be defamed.

"Really prideful to the point of death; if this isn’t a toad spewing poison, then what is!" Mei Yixiang spread her hands out, this witch who feared neither heaven nor earth, loved to stir up chaos, not minding offending the entire Ying family at all.

"Just like a toad trying to eat swan meat!" Zhou Heng laughed loudly and went towards Ying Bingfeng.

"Looking for death!" Ying Bingfeng coldly huffed, as a Two-Star Earth Spiritual Body, his venom was extremely formidable, capable of instantly killing even martial artists of the same realm!

Sizzle!

As the venom was about to hit Zhou Heng, an ice wall suddenly appeared; the poison sprayed entirely onto the ice layers, with vapors rising as if hot water was thrown onto snow, the ice layers were rapidly melting, with layers of mist forming.

Nine Nether Ice Heaven Jue!

This was a Bloodline Martial Technique, both a bloodline power and a martial arts technique, and with Zhou Heng’s Azure Dragon bloodline reaching the height of a Seven-Star Heavenly Spirit Body, in a great realm no weaker than others, could he not contend against a mere Earth Spirit Body?

Although the venom was quickly corroding the ice layer, it wasn’t to the extent of being instantly noticeable; Zhou Heng pushed with his right hand, and the huge ice layer violently smashed towards Ying Bingfeng.

Clang!

The ice layer hit Ying Bingfeng’s face and immediately burst into pieces, countless shards of ice flying, while Ying Bingfeng’s head was similarly crushed gruesomely, blood seeping from his hair and covering his face with streaks of red, looking terribly pathetic.

"How dare you!" Nangong Changkong and Liu Qingxuan both shouted angrily at the same time, attacking Zhou Heng.

They knew Zhou Heng’s movement technique was extremely fast. Hence, they did not act rashly but waited for a good opportunity for a lethal strike! They never thought Ying Bingfeng couldn’t even block three moves from Zhou Heng; they couldn’t just watch Ying Bingfeng be killed by Zhou Heng without intervening.

Zhou Heng executed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, moving incredibly quickly like a phantom, easily dodging the attacks of the two Heaven-Opening Realm experts.

"Zhou Heng, you’ve gone too far!" Although Ying Bingfeng’s head had split open, that was just a surface wound, his spiritual power was not affected, and by activating his Poison Water bloodline, his entire head turned greenish, but the wound immediately healed.

His injuries were not severe, but he had nearly lost all his face; this was a great humiliation.

"I’ve gone too far?" Zhou Heng sneered. He never provoked Ying Bingfeng; it was this guy who had provoked him time and time again. Was he made of clay, to just endure? How could he not be angry?

"You’re just a lowly commoner from Cold Blue Country; to me, you’re worth nothing!" Ying Bingfeng produced a bell out of thin air, with a purplish-red color, about the size of a kettle — with his status, he naturally possessed a space artifact.

"Having to make me use the ’Magic Sound Bell’ means you can take pride in that!" He revealed a trace of arrogance.

Why do these descendants of the affluent always like to speak in such a tone?

Zhou Heng looked at the bell in Ying Bingfeng’s hands, noting it was not complete, with a small piece missing at the corner. He wasn’t sure what material it was made from, but he was certain it was definitely metallic.

Good, he had the ability of the Gold-Eating Tribe!

"Magic Sound Piercing Brain!" Ying Bingfeng shook the bell in his hand, and instantly a bizarre sound, indescribable by words, surged out.

The ones with weak strength such as Spirit Gathering Realm individuals instantly bled from their seven orifices and died, and those in the Initial Separation Realm were not much better off, with blood tears flowing from their eyes, their breaths weak, having been severely injured in an instant!

Land Cleaving Realm martial artists were barely able to resist, but had to exert their full strength; otherwise, under Magic Sound Piercing Brain, they would either die or turn into idiots if they survived! Even Heaven-Opening Realm experts found it difficult to bear, with a strong urge to cover their ears with their hands.

"Young Master Ying, please show mercy!" Nangong Changkong immediately yelled, as most here were people of Cold Blue Country, and the death of any would weaken the country’s power; he had to panic.

"Hmph, kill that kid, and I will naturally stop!" Ying Bingfeng coldly stated, yet he shook the bell more frantically.

Nangong Changkong wouldn’t dare to act against Ying Bingfeng even if given a hundred times the courage. With a stifled roar, he lunged at Zhou Heng. Under Magic Sound Piercing Brain, Zhou Heng would surely be distracted in defending, and it was the best opportunity to eliminate this opponent!

Even if everyone from the Imperial Capital perished, it would still be worth it as long as they could kill Zhou Heng!

"It’s all this brat’s fault that disaster has struck!" Nangong Changkong cried out fiercely, pressing his palms down on Zhou Heng.

"Confusing right and wrong!" Zhou Heng snorted coldly, launching the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his figure flickered like lightning, and he had already brought out the Black Sword. The so-called Magic Sound Piercing Brain had no effect on him, not even affecting Xiao Huoshui who was in his arms.

The Black Sword had a natural suppressing effect on evil, not even the world under earth, comparable to a dead land, could do anything about it. Keep in mind that even Spiritual Sea Realm experts would be affected by evil spirits and turn into Red-haired Monsters!

He slashed at Ying Bingfeng with his sword. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
