Chapter 537: The Mysterious Assailant

"Sixty thousand!"

"Seventy thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

Initially, the bidding voices were urgent, and the increments were by ten thousand each time; however, after the auction price reached one hundred fifty thousand, the voices slowed down, and the increments dropped to five thousand, and even one to two thousand.

"One hundred sixty-seven thousand for the first time!" the auctioneer commenced the countdown after the lull.

"One hundred seventy thousand!" Zhou Heng finally had the chance to call out his first bid of the day.

"One hundred seventy-three thousand!" the previous bidder immediately called out.

"One hundred eighty thousand!" Zhou Heng said casually, as if what he was throwing out wasn’t one hundred eighty thousand Immortal Stones but merely eighteen worthless pebbles.

"One hundred eighty-five thousand!" That person, unwilling to give up, gritted his teeth and called out another price.

"One hundred ninety thousand!" Zhou Heng said off-handedly, indeed, he did not consider Immortal Stones important; now that he had the Fire Divine Furnace, the Pill-Refining King who could kill a Holy Pharmacist in seconds, was he still afraid of running out of Immortal Stones?

If not for the fact that his Space Artifact was not large enough, he could have easily brought over a million Immortal Stones, or else he would not have lacked the qualifications to compete with Fan Tong previously.

"Humph!" That person lost heart, as much as the Moon Wheel Technique was powerful, spending more than one hundred ninety thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones to purchase it seemed a bit unworthy. The key point was that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion would sell this kind of Immortal Law every couple of years, there was absolutely no need to spend so much to get it a couple of years earlier!

Immortal Stones from any family were not blown in by the wind!

"One hundred ninety thousand for the first time!" "One hundred ninety thousand for the second time!" "One hundred ninety thousand for the third time!" "Sold!"

The auctioneer sealed the deal with a bang of the gavel, and the finale item of the evening’s auction also fell into Zhou Heng’s hands. It was somewhat ironic that the finale didn’t fetch the highest price of the night, and this was also because Fan Tong, the rich wastrel, had stirred up trouble.

Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin got up to go backstage to pay the Immortal Stones and complete the transaction. There, they saw Fan Tong and Meng Qianjun, and they also saw Lan Wuyue, the little girl with lifeless eyes and a face drenched in tears, as if she had gone dumb.

Yang Lanxin couldn’t help but feel a tug at her heart, and involuntarily gripped Zhou Heng’s arm more tightly.

Zhou Heng shook his head at her, signaling her to be patient for the time being. Causing trouble inside the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was not a good idea.

A day would come when he would storm the gates of Juexian City and cause an uproar there, perhaps even take a stand against the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. His heart was fearless, but that did not mean he was now in a position to act recklessly.

Arrogance without strength was but a path to self-destruction.

At least he was not yet capable of provoking the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, a massive entity that could send him to his doom with just a few Sunshine Kings!

"You dog!" Fan Tong didn’t dare to kill someone within the walls of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but his mouth was mumbling unclearly, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a strong admiration when they glanced over Yang Lanxin.

Because Yang Lanxin was leaning into Zhou Heng in an enchanting pose, revealing her figure’s curves in full view, that voluptuous silhouette filled one’s imagination.

Fan Tong was an old hand in the field of romance, able to infer an entire body’s attributes from a single small detail, and could see at a glance that Yang Lanxin possessed an incredibly sensual figure! Born into the Sunshine Realm’s prominent family, he felt no need to hold back in this mere North Hai City, glaring unscrupulously at Yang Lanxin’s chest and hips.

——He decided that he must have this beauty! Once they left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he planned to kill the man and take the woman back to enjoy a threesome with the little cutie from the Wind Wings Clan.

After Zhou Heng settled the transaction with the Immortal Stones and obtained the Moon Wheel Jue, he left with Yang Lanxin, while Meng Qianjun stared at his departing figure until Zhou Heng had left. Then, Meng issued a low hum.

Fan Tong, still thinking about taking Yang Lanxin and Lan Wuyue for a threesome, was unwilling to let Zhou Heng go and quickly kicked away the naked Moonlight Sovereign kneeling in front of him, shouting, "Quick, kill that man for this young master and snatch the woman over!"

Had it been anyone with a shred of self-respect, they probably would have drawn their sword upon such humiliation, let alone the esteemed Moonlight King! But the naked woman did not react at all, she stood up and dashed outside after them.

Fan Tong naturally followed immediately; he wanted to witness Zhou Heng’s death with his own eyes!

As Fan Tong moved, Meng Qianjun followed and left as well.

"Wait, don’t kill him just yet, this young master has changed his mind. I want to do his woman right in front of him!" Fan Tong called out as he ran.

Zhou Heng walked leisurely, soon exiting the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, on a night sky devoid of the moon, but filled with countless twinkling stars. He stood in the middle of the street, with murderous intent beginning to gather infinitely.

Previously, when he saw Fan Tong swaggering through the city, Zhou Heng felt the urge to slay him, but never as strongly as now. Because while he did not know other women, Lan Wuyue, this little girl, was his friend.

Family and friends were what Zhou Heng cherished most!

"Ha ha, lad, you’ve got quite the guts!" Fan Tong rushed out of the door hurriedly, only to see Zhou Heng actually waiting for him in the street, first stunned, then bursting into laughter.

Meng Qianjun, however, revealed a cautious expression; he had a vague sense of unease, but no matter how cautious he was, he could not believe that a mere Moonlight King could make any significant waves.

Was he being overly nervous? He couldn’t help but laugh at himself internally.

Whiz!

A streak of black light passed by, and a Black Rope shot out, suddenly transforming into thousands of strands, like javelins, piercing towards Fan Tong and the others.

Hm?

Zhou Heng was taken aback; this was not his doing!

Could it be that Fan Tong had made so many enemies that he encountered adversaries just by walking down the street?

"How dare you!" Meng Qianjun bellowed, four Waning Moons materializing behind him, two white, one red, one black. Although the moons were not of the purest kind, having two white ones was quite commendable.

As his shout echoed, the four Waning Moons transformed into four lethal arrows, slashing towards the source of the attack.

This was the Moon Wheel Technique!

As the greatest noble house in the area, how could the Meng Family not possess the Moon Wheel Technique?

That naked Moonlight Sovereign didn’t make a sound, her hands forming seals, and suddenly behind her six Waning Moons emerged, all different colors, none pure white. Although these Moons were of an inferior quality, their sheer number was overwhelming, and their quantity made up for the lack in quality.

The person launching the surprise attack also pushed their power to the extreme in an instant, five Waning Moons shining brightly!

It was definitely a woman, as one could tell from her exquisite figure!

Her fifth Moon Wheel had just formed, and with two pure white moons, her Realm might be slightly inferior to that naked Moonlight Sovereign, but who was stronger in terms of actual power was really not certain.

"What a pair of boobs!" Fan Tong exclaimed in amazement. As a dutiful hedonist, his thoughts naturally differed from others; he didn’t focus on the attack but the woman’s voluptuous figure wrapped under her leather clothing, her ample breasts almost bursting out!

Boom!

The three Moonlight Sovereigns exchanged a blow, and the assailant was immediately shaken, tumbling backward into the sky, while Meng Qianjun and the naked Moonlight Sovereign also staggered backward, retreating hastily.

The opportunity had arrived!

Zhou Heng shot forward, summoning the Hundred Ghosts Sword, swish swish swish, a cascade of Ghost Shadows appeared as he enveloped Yang Lanxin with spiritual power and charged towards Lan Wuyue.

In this battle, rescuing was the priority, killing secondary!

The Waning Moon of Ten Wheels was unleashed, and he exerted his full strength!

"Ten, Ten Wheels of Moon!"

"Uh!"

The first cry of alarm came from Meng Qianjun, who finally realized where his unease had originated from.

Ten Wheels of Moon! Damn it! Ten Wheels of Moon, what did that mean?

Anyone capable of achieving Ten Wheels of Moon was undoubtedly a genius!

As long as Zhou Heng demonstrated his Ten Wheels Moon, it was believed any unparalleled expert would vie to take him as an apprentice!

The second sound of amazement was made by the naked Moonlight Sovereign. Though nearly devoid of human emotions, the sight of the Ten Wheels Moon finally caused a slight ripple in her.

With the might of the Ten Wheels Moon behind him, Zhou Heng launched his attack, while Meng Qianjun and the naked Moonlight Sovereign, momentarily repelled by the assailant, could only summon their deities and utilize the Domain Path to launch attacks at Zhou Heng.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Ghost Shadows danced, these spiritual power entities without a corporeal body, and the Domain Path, an extension of a cultivator’s consciousness, also had no physical form.

The two, mutually restraining!

If there were only one or two Ghost Creatures, the additional two to three Waning Moons’ worth of power from the naked Moonlight Sovereign and Meng Qianjun could easily suppress them. But the key issue was, there weren’t just one or two damn Ghost Creatures!

Ten, thirty, fifty!

Zhou Heng’s Sword Controlling was like flying, instantly unleashing dozens of strikes, each one conjuring a spiritual power Ghost Creature, assaulting the naked Moonlight Sovereign and Meng Qianjun.

As the Moonlight King of Ten Wheels, his Battle Power was just below that of the two Moonlight Sovereigns, and with these dozens of Ghost Creatures revealing themselves with spiritual power on par with his own, even a peak-level Moonlight Sovereign would have to furrow their brows!

And right now, these two could only operate within the realm of the Domain Path!

Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures surged maniacally, as Zhou Heng advanced directly towards Fan Tong, unfolding the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, reaching speeds comparable to a peak-level Moonlight Sovereign.

Sword Breaking the Heavens!

Zhou Heng executed his strongest sword technique apart from the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, within a swirl of crimson silhouettes, he struck with formidable power.

Fan Tong was merely a Moonlight King with an exceedingly mixed aura, clearly having boosted his Cultivation Level through some secret technique; such a Moonlight King could be killed by the hundreds with a single strike from Zhou Heng. The reason he employed the Feiyu Seven Swords was his concern that these noble families’ members might be protected by Restrictions.

Fan Tong’s expression was one of panic, his complexion deathly pale.

Although he strutted around here, in the Fan Family he was truly an incompetent member! The only reason he could forcibly increase his level to that of a Moonlight King was because he had a distinguished father, and he was an only son!

Placing Restrictions for protection on family members wasn’t an astute move, for it required leaving behind a trace of Divine Intent from the Spellcaster; destroying it could cause irrevocable damage to the caster.

Families of such standing often gifted their descendants with Immortal Artifacts, like Mo Yuyan’s Jade Pendant.

However, Fan Tong didn’t measure up for such a privilege, his sole reliance being his four Moonlight Sovereign female servants.

Regrettably, he only brought one with him that night!

This alone was set to seal his fate!
