Chapter 545: Chapter 524 Breaking Out of the Cage (3/3)

The secret to being immune to all poisons?

Of course Evil Cloud Pharmacist wanted to know. If he could also acquire a Medicine Man’s body, he would be able to use himself as a drug tester. By personally experiencing it, he could increase the efficiency of his medication blending by tenfold, or even a hundredfold!

After all, observing a drug tester was only possible through the eyes, but to personally taste poison, that was truly an all-round understanding.

Suddenly filled with immense interest, Evil Cloud Pharmacist didn’t fear any schemes from Zhou Heng.

—Both of their cultivation levels had been sealed, and they were locked in cages; even if the Moonlight Emperor came in person, it would not be possible to break out in a short time!

Besides, he was the Moonlight Sovereign himself!

Thus, without any defense, Evil Cloud Pharmacist approached the cage. If the Medicine Man’s body could be modified postnatally, and he were to know this secret, he could definitely leap from a Two Stars Pharmacist directly to the heights of a Five Stars, or even a Six Stars Pharmacist!

Just thinking about it made his blood boil, and his eyes turned red, as if he too had taken an aphrodisiac.

"The secret is—" Zhou Heng’s voice got lower and lower, and instinctively, Evil Cloud Pharmacist turned his ear to show his intent to listen, and at that moment, Zhou Heng had already brought out the Black Sword, and the Feiyu Seven Swords were unleashed!

Sword Breaking the Heavens!

Clang, the cage seemed to be made of paper, as Zhou Heng burst out like a fierce tiger breaking free.

Evil Cloud Pharmacist couldn’t have anticipated Zhou Heng launching a surprise attack, and, moreover, the other party was clearly only a Moonlight King but was able to unleash such terrifying power! And that, an Immortal Technique of not a low rank!

"Ah—" The old pervert hastily twisted his head, striving to prevent vital areas from being hit.

Zhou Heng burst forth with all his strength, ten Waning Moons blossoming behind him all at once, as the golden little figure emerged from the top of his head, flipping its hand, and pressing down on Evil Cloud Pharmacist.

It was the Overturning Heaven Palm!

If it were a fair fight, with the strength of Evil Cloud Pharmacist’s Four Wheels Moonlight Sovereign, he could have crushed Zhou Heng or at least fought to a standstill—unless Zhou Heng used the Sky-soaring Nine Forms! But this was not a fair fight.

Evil Cloud Pharmacist had no defense against Zhou Heng, having even been deceived by him and faced the enemy sideways, and what’s more, they were less than three feet apart!

Unless he was the Moonlight Emperor, if he could still escape unharmed, that would indeed be outrageous!

Thud!

Zhou Heng stabbed forward, piercing Evil Cloud Pharmacist’s chest. Even though the Feiyu Seven Swords were not the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, and the old pervert’s desperate struggle was not in vain, the sword actually missed the heart by about an inch to the side.

Evil Cloud Pharmacist was angry, shocked, and yet relieved—like an Immortal who could recover from any wound if it wasn’t fatal, and since he was a Two Stars Pharmacist himself, healing was a trivial matter for him.

With a spring in his step, he was about to flee, as long as he was given a slight moment, he could trigger the alarm, and then the entire star ship would know something had happened here.

How could Zhou Heng allow him that chance to escape? The Black Sword violently twisted and slid!

Thud!

A shower of blood sprayed as Evil Cloud Pharmacist’s body flew backward, accompanied by copious blood, shattered intestines, heart, and spleen!

The twist and slide of the Black Sword had completely destroyed the old pervert’s insides!

Whoever was struck vitally by the Black Sword could not be saved!

The body of Evil Cloud Pharmacist was still in flight, but the life was rapidly draining from him, his vision blurry.

Until his death, he couldn’t understand how Zhou Heng was able to restore his Spiritual Power nor how he could have broken through a cage that even the Moonlight Emperor would need a long time to destroy, and deliver a fatal blow to him!

Could it be, Zhou Heng was the Sunshine King?

No, that was wrong. This guy was clearly displaying ten Waning Moons, a true Moonlight King. Hiss, ten moons, what kind of monster had he encountered?

To die at the hands of such a genius, wasn’t too wrong... perhaps!

Evil Cloud Pharmacist’s last thought didn’t fully form, as life completely left his body.

Bang!

His corpse heavily slammed into the wall, but fortunately, the entire lower chamber belonged to him alone. The domain of poisons didn’t even have anyone on hand to assist, so such a collision wouldn’t attract any attention.

Zhou Heng put away the Black Sword, not using the Sky-soaring Nine Forms because it would have exhausted all his Spiritual Power, and what if Mo Yuyan suddenly appeared? He would be nothing more than a dead duck then.

"Zhou Heng, how did you recover your Spiritual Power?" Yang Lanxin asked in amazement. Although her realm was higher than Zhou Heng’s, she hadn’t felt any loosening of the restriction on her yet.

"...That old pervert fed me all sorts of poisons, and by fighting poison with poison, I gradually broke the restriction!" Zhou Heng explained.

Although it wasn’t the complete truth, what happened was indeed roughly such, just without the help of Bone Talisman and Black Sword, he would’ve still been helpless.

Yang Lanxin was on the verge of seeing Zhou Heng as invincible. Hearing his words, she had no doubt at all. Wasn’t this just what a genius was supposed to be, way stronger than a regular Immortal by a hundredfold?

"Let’s take this opportunity and find a Flowing Cloud Shuttle to leave quickly!" Zhou Heng said.

"Hmm!" Yang Lanxin nodded vigorously. As long as they could find a Flowing Cloud Shuttle, it would have the spatial coordinates recorded, and with the Shuttle’s ability to traverse the starry sky, they could return to the Forty-Nine Immortal City in a short time.

Once she saw her father, with Yang Tiehu’s strength also of a Moonlight Sovereign, he would surely be able to remove the restriction on her.

Though trapped for over three months, it ended up being a close call without danger!

It was all because of this man!

Yang Lanxin was ruthless and arrogant, never placing any man in her sight, yet Zhou Heng consistently surprised her, and his endless "care" and "consideration" made her heart flutter.

The more she looked at Zhou Heng, the more pleasing she found him, and she even faintly thought that if she were to marry, she’d want to marry a man like him.

Zhou Heng was about to carry Yang Lanxin out when his steps suddenly halted; his Divine Intent, far surpassing his realm, had already sensed someone approaching.

It must be Mo Yuyan.

A murderous intent flashed in Zhou Heng’s eyes. Although all the suffering inflicted upon him was from the hands of the Evil Cloud Pharmacist, the root cause of his troubles was none other than this fourth young miss of the Mo Family!

If he left now, he would surely run into her!

With the Moonlight Sovereign’s battle power up against the Moonlight Emperor, there would be a hundred defeats and no victory!

Zhou Heng took a deep breath, signaled Yang Lanxin to keep silent, and summoned the Black Sword. He stood at the door, elevating his Essence, Qi and Spirit to their peak, yet his presence became so retracted it was completely concealed.

He was planning to ambush Mo Yuyan and kill her in one fell swoop!

Even though he was one realm below in battle power, Zhou Heng still possessed the heaven-defying Sky-soaring Nine Forms. With preparation against the unprepared, a victory wasn’t impossible!

Now, trapped in enemy territory, he had no other option but to make this bold move!

The footsteps grew closer. With Mo Yuyan’s cultivation level, she could’ve made no sound while walking, but did she need to be so cautious on her own starship? She was not a thief on her own Void Ship.

Soon, the footsteps stopped at the door, followed by a knocking sound. Mo Yuyan’s somewhat cold voice called out, "Sir—"

At that moment, Zhou Heng sprung into action!

Sky-soaring Nine Forms!

One Form, two Forms, three Forms... seven Forms, eight Forms, Nine Forms!

It was only after executing them that Zhou Heng shockingly realized he could now perform the final move of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms!

Nine Forms as One!

The Black Sword became devoid of any radiance, returning to its simplest form, with only the Broken Blade Tip emitting a faint glimmer, profound enough to distract even an expert at the Creation Realm!

Bang!

The door shattered, Zhou Heng lunged forward with his sword, like a Heavenly God descending.

Incredulity painted Mo Yuyan’s face, she would have never expected such a thunderous blow to follow a mere knock on the door!

What a sword strike it was!

It seemed to be a mere straightforward thrust, yet it appeared to contain the mysteries of the universe, captivating anyone who saw it.

But in the end, Mo Yuyan was the Moonlight Emperor, two whole realms above Zhou Heng!

She managed to pull back in time, reacting swiftly with an Overturning Heaven Palm strike and a quick sidestep!

Pff!

The Sky-soaring Nine Forms were immensely powerful; Nine Forms as One could decisively split heaven and earth!

Mo Yuyan’s palm was pierced through with a slap, and the Black Sword continued its thrust, aiming straight for her chest!

Amidst the splatter of blood light, Mo Yuyan stumbled back seven steps, a Black Sword sticking out from her right chest... but not the left side where the heart was!

That palm strike had, in the end, won her the briefest moment, avoiding a fatal blow!

Zhou Heng’s entire Spiritual Power was drained by the strike, and just as he was about to swing his sword and shatter Mo Yuyan’s heart, she struck out with her palm. The powerful gust sent Zhou Heng flying, with the Black Sword in tow, hurtling back seven or eight zhang until he rebounded off the cabin wall.

Fortunately, the starship was made from sturdy materials, and Mo Yuyan, severely wounded, had her power greatly decreased in that palm strike.

Zhou Heng, who now had the physique of a First Layer Heaven Immortal Artifact, was severely shook by the palm strike, but ultimately it was just a minor injury.

Mo Yuyan turned to flee, but although Zhou Heng’s strike hadn’t hit her vitals, how could the power of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms be underestimated? And how could the Black Sword, as a high-tier Immortal Artifact, be taken lightly?

Boom, she collapsed to the ground, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away, barely able to move a finger.

Zhou Heng strode back, Black Sword in hand, his aura seething with a killing intent.

His gaze fell upon Mo Yuyan’s backside, and a heat surged in his heart, his eyes instantly reddening.

The charm poison was only suppressed by force. The main reason he could do so wasn’t due to Zhou Heng’s extraordinary self-control, but because Yang Lanxin’s current overweight disguise was extremely repulsive!

But Mo Yuyan had no such disguise, and she was indeed a beauty on par with Yang Lanxin, only slightly less endowed in stature.

Normally, Zhou Heng could easily disregard such a beauty, but now, afflicted with the charm poison, he was not in control of his own desires.

The charm poison resurged with a force far surpassing the last time, and he couldn’t restrain it any longer.
