Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 441 - 425: Black Snow Powder (3/3)

Chapter 441: Chapter 425: Black Snow Powder (3/3)

The Moon Shadow Saintess continued her relentless attack, refusing to believe that Zhou Heng’s physical defense truly reached such a level, suspecting instead that he had activated some secret technique!

Since it was a technique, it definitely couldn’t last forever.

She was a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate with an inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Power, how could she worry about outlasting a mere Divine Infant Realm existence?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

She bombarded him non-stop, sending Zhou Heng flying in every direction, fully displaying the strength of a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate.

Indeed formidable, so powerful it was startling; even if Li Wujie had not died, he would have surely been defeated in a battle against her!

Yet, against the freak Zhou Heng, even such tremendous battle power was useless, as pure force had no effect on him. This caused the Moon Shadow Saintess to feel an itch of frustration - this guy was just too hardy!

She was extremely displeased, but Zhou Heng was even more so, because he was the one taking the hits! Even though every strike felt like a tickle, constantly getting hit without being able to strike back was certainly not a joyous occasion for someone who had just broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But the Moon Shadow Saintess was indeed strong, with overwhelming battle power and an invincible stance. Each of her strikes stirred up heaven-reaching Divine Radiance, her strength and speed vastly superior to Zhou Heng’s.

Facing such an opponent, he could only defend passively, but after thousands of defenses, just one missed strike could send him tumbling wildly. Vulnerabilities were inevitable.

There’s no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days!

He too was inflamed with rage and shouted, "Have you had enough?"

The Moon Shadow Saintess was already quite vexed; she, a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate, couldn’t even damage Zhou Heng. Was she really supposed to wait until she became an Immortal to take her revenge? But hearing the anger in Zhou Heng’s voice, she couldn’t help but feel amused.

Indeed, she couldn’t hurt or injure Zhou Heng, but to annoy him was also a delight, wasn’t it?

This guy was quite proud, wasn’t he? Then she would thoroughly crush his spirit!

The Moon Shadow Saintess suddenly felt invigorated, as if she had eaten an Immortal Fruit, her spirit almost radiant. Channeling her Spiritual Power, she continuously struck Zhou Heng with her palms, playing with him like a cat with a mouse.

"Weren’t you acting all arrogant? Keep it up!"

"Feeling upset? Fight back!"

"Giving up just like that? What a weakling!"

"Not a single good seed in the Eternal lineage!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, as if she saw in Zhou Heng the Great Eternal Emperor of the past. Remembering the Emperor’s "lead-on and abandon" treatment of her teacher, her offensive became more intense, as if she wished to blast Zhou Heng into smithereens.

Zhou Heng was also enraged; he had no deep hatred with the Moon Shadow Saintess. Their previous cuddling was because the Moon Shadow Saintess initiated the attack, and if he hadn’t held onto her, he would have been hit with the ultimate killing move; he did it out of necessity.

Moreover, the injustice of being seen naked afterward was even greater; if anyone was to be blamed, it should be Gu Yan, what did it have to do with him?

He had never provoked the Moon Shadow Saintess; why was she so fixated on him?

Did he seem like someone without a temper?

"Die old hag, could it be you’ve fallen in love with me, that’s why you’ve been relentless? If you like me, just say it. Although your looks aren’t good enough to be my maidservant, my three maidservants do need a servant girl, and I might just give you a chance!" Zhou Heng declared loudly.

Upon hearing this, the Moon Shadow Saintess was immediately enraged, her black hair dancing wildly and her eyes filled with endless murderous intent.

How dare he tease her like that?

Who was she? The Saintess of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, now a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate. In this mortal world, apart from Heaven and Earth, Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerates were supreme. How dare he tease her, was it not infuriating?

But as angry as she was, she really had no way to shut Zhou Heng up.

"Don’t spout nonsense anymore!" The Moon Shadow Saintess chastised angrily, her rage fueling her attacks, making them fiercer and faster.

"There’s no one else here, even if you admitted it, it’s no big deal. To fancy someone as handsome and promising as me is perfectly normal!" Zhou Heng continued to spout nonsense. Having spent so much time with Black Donkey, his ability to twist truth and spew sheer fabrication was naturally second to none.

"I, I’m going to kill you!" Completely beside herself with rage, the Moon Shadow Saintess’s palms danced, unleashing waves of heaven-covering giant hands, an unstoppable force.

She was naturally a sword user, but as her cultivation had progressed into the Divinity Transformation Realm, her original Divine Infant Realm sword naturally became useless, and a Mortal Artifact was far from allowing her to fully unleash her power, so she simply chose not to use a weapon.

However, at her realm, whether or not to use a weapon was merely the icing on the cake. Although she struck with her palms, the Vigorous Qi transformed into tens of thousands of sharp swords, enough to instantly tear a Divine Infant Realm Old Ancestor into pieces!

Zhou Heng remained calm and unafraid; such pure forceful attacks could push him back, but they couldn’t injure him.

"Sigh, when I think about it, you’re quite pitiful. You’ve been a spinster for tens of thousands of years, I understand that loneliness!" He countered while showing a face of sympathy, as if he were a confidante to wives.

"What do you know!"

The Moon Shadow Saintess really wanted to slap him twice, but grappling with someone who possessed brute strength and an almost freakishly robust constitution was not a wise idea; she had previously learned this lesson the hard way!

She knew Zhou Heng was trying to provoke her, but how could she possibly hold back upon hearing such infuriating taunts?

Faced with any other opponent, she would have immediately crushed them with a swift palm strike, but fighting Zhou Heng, she had to endure the mental torment.

She, too, was ruthless. Knowing that Zhou Heng was only spouting nonsense to make her act rashly, she therefore absolutely could not let him get his way. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t injure Zhou Heng, she just wanted to toy with this muddled fellow like a ball!

After all, her strength was far superior, giving her an absolute advantage.

"Zhou Heng, don’t think your nonsense will spare you from my wrath!" the Moon Shadow Saintess said icily. She simply shut off her hearing, letting Zhou Heng rant, determined to torment him until he was in utter agony, begging her for mercy!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent clashes continued to thunder from the skies, louder than the furious thunder of nine heavens. Wave after wave of shockwaves surged down, ravaging the land below.

Luckily, frequent natural disasters had already devastated the area. Though Zhou Heng and the Moon Shadow Saintess were fiercely battling, adding destruction upon destruction no longer mattered—what was there left to destroy?

This battle dragged on for three days and nights without end.

Zhou Heng was truly enraged. He had been used as a punching bag for three days. Although it wasn’t painful, the frustration was unbearable! Moreover, the Moon Shadow Saintess had grown wiser and paid no heed to his jumbled taunts. She bombarded him relentlessly, determined to make him plead for mercy.

Any other person might have contained their anger for a while, but Zhou Heng was equally proud and stubborn. Bow to the Moon Shadow Saintess? Impossible!

Fueled by uncontrollable fury, he roared, "You hag, don’t push me, or you’ll be the one crying when I take down your pants and spank you!"

"Lustful Thief!" The Moon Shadow Saintess screeched phoenix-like. After fighting for three days and nights, her ire hadn’t faded but had grown. Hearing Zhou Heng’s brazen tease, she naturally became even more incensed.

Boom!

She unleashed the Overturning Heaven Palm, channeling the power of the sun, moon, and stars, and pressed it toward Zhou Heng.

Most of those who entered Gu Yan’s Bone Palace had learned this Immortal Technique, but in different hands, its power varied greatly. The Moon Shadow Saintess, having ascended to the Divinity Transformation Realm and closest to becoming an Immortal, could exert the maximum might of the Overturning Heaven Palm.

It was as if the entire world opposed Zhou Heng, seeking to crush him straight into the eighteenth layer of Hell, never to recover!

Bang!

Zhou Heng’s whole body was blasted into the ground, burying him deep into the earth.

"Hmph!" The Moon Shadow Saintess was unrelenting, swooping down for another strike, as if she intended to pin Zhou Heng down in the earth forever.

"Have you still not had enough?!" Zhou Heng shouted in extreme anger, unable to bear it any longer. With a flick of his right hand, a jade bottle appeared. He stepped into the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, exploding with a speed that rivaled those in the Divinity Transformation Realm, pressing toward the Moon Shadow Saintess.

Although the Moon Shadow Saintess didn’t know what he had up his sleeve, she dared not let him approach and hurriedly moved back. With each step, a lotus flower appeared in the void and ripples fanned out through the air, as if an Immortal from a celestial pond was walking on waves.

Zhou Heng pushed his spiritual power to the limit, gaining a brief window of superior speed even to the Moon Shadow Saintess!

But it was only slightly superior, and as the gap between them narrowed, Zhou Heng still couldn’t immediately close in on her.

Retreat, Retreat, Retreat. Advance, Advance, Advance!

Now the roles were completely reversed, with the Moon Shadow Saintess in a hasty retreat, continuously unleashing the Overturning Heaven Palm. She knew Zhou Heng couldn’t maintain such a drain of spiritual power and expected to widen the gap once more, leaving him no chance for a comeback.

Zhou Heng dodged at high speed; though the Overturning Heaven Palm was an Immortal Technique, so was the Swift Cloud Radiant Step. He weaved through fierce winds and even used his robust physique to withstand some blows, borrowing their force to increase his speed.

Relentlessly closing in! Closing in! Closing in!

Zhou Heng felt the drain of his spiritual power; he couldn’t sustain the Swift Cloud Radiant Step any longer!

He was seven zhang away from the Moon Shadow Saintess.

Zhou Heng grunted and hurled the jade bottle in his hand. It was wrapped in a dark force, and with the base speed of the Swift Cloud Radiant Step combined with his brute strength, its velocity was incredibly fast.

The Moon Shadow Saintess had no chance to dodge and had to strike out with her palm. The bottle, lacking the speed of the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, was inevitably struck, snap, the jade bottle shattered, and a cloud of Black Snow Powder spread out.

The Black Snow rapidly expanded, quickly enveloping a hundred li, covering both Zhou Heng and the Moon Shadow Saintess, leaving no room to escape.

The Moon Shadow Saintess didn’t know what it was but took no chances, immediately holding her breath and forming a shield with her spiritual power to block the Black Snow’s invasion. It was futile: the drug’s potency swiftly infiltrated, penetrating the shield and entering her body.

"Ah—" She screamed, plummeting from the sky.
